A new Nando's in Enfield can only be a good thing, what with crazy demand at the Enfield Town restaurant most nights of the week. This one is slightly more awkward to get to, with a car almost definitely required, though parking is significantly easier, with abundant free spaces located in the retail park.
First impressions are that the restaurant is smaller than expected, and the queue was running out the door into the 0 degree night air. We waited nonetheless, and a very friendly Nandoca took our names and sorted out a table for us. She was very apologetic for the 30+ minute wait, so a good first impression of staff. This impression continued when we were introduced to the new managers, and served by a very bubbly lady on the tills.
While waiting for food we took in the decorations, which are of course all pristine, and quite standard of a new suburban Nando's. A solid 4/5, and nice to have non-sticky brand new tables. No artwork of particular note, and the tables are tightly packed due to lack of space. A patrao later confirmed they wished they could have made the restaurant bigger!
The wait for the food was probably the weakest part of the night. A long wait was inevitable due to how busy the restaurant was, but our food was brought over a good 10 minutes apart, despite being on the same receipt. My girlfriend therefore had a dilemma of whether to wait for my food to arrive, or not let hers get hold. The latter prevailed, and she was a good half way through before mine was presented. Hopefully just teething troubles!
As for the food, it was good considering this was a dry run night, though my chips had to be sent back for more peri-spice (there really wasn't very much). My double wrap held its shape as I would expect, but the rice was a bit dry and disappointing. My girlfriend said her wings were decidedly average, though not necessarily bad. 3/5 seems fair for food overall.

"I'd argue that any media business hoping to succeed needs to be innovating and therefore be a 'new kind' of company," Eve explained in a recent interview on PSFK. "Our idea was that if we could build an authentic and resilient brand of our own through a unique editorial vision, awesome storytelling, effective content marketing, and deep insights that allow us to understand what serves and delights audiences both on and off our platform, we could leverage all of those strengths on behalf of our sponsors."
Arielle Duhaime-Ross, Host, Reset

"One of my biggest motivations behind founding LIVELY came from what I, as a woman, felt was a gap in the lingerie market. Today's women want to wear high-quality apparel that they feel good about themselves in," explained Michelle in an interview with PSFK. "The entire premise behind what we call "Leisurée" is to create highly functional products that are inclusive of a wide range of sizes and blur the aesthetic lines between lingerie, active and swim, while also having long-lasting style relevance."
Lauren Chan, Founder and CEO, Henning
While working as a fashion editor, Lauren Chan recognized the need for fashion brands that served women beyond a size 12, leading her to found and launch plus-size workwear brand Henning.

"Haus is made by millennials. We are literally our market, so we're extremely relatable," Helena explained in an interview on PSFK. "We understand who we're selling to. We literally live on the farm where we grow the ingredients. We build transparency into the product, being really open about the ingredients and maintaining an open dialogue with our consumers."
Zoe Feldman, Senior Director, New Ventures, Incubator Director, Chobani
In addition to spearheading Chobani's new ventures, Zoe also directs the brand's incubator program focused on supporting startups ready to make nutritious food accessible to all.
Trina Chan, VP of Retail and Partnerships, MOIC
Trina brings her expertise to the smash-hit Museum of Ice Cream, which recently opened a NYC flagship and continues to reinvent what an experiential museum brand can do today. She also appeared on the New York Retail Innovation Week stage this year.
Emily Schildt, Founder, Pop Up Grocer
Emily's work is reimagining the grocery store experience through a traveling pop-up that builds a discovery and education-focused environment curated to be helpful rather than overwhelming, spotlighting the most innovative products in food, home, pet and beyond.

"First and foremost, we want people to have fun. Our stores are free from the headaches of big ones and the moral imposition of small ones," Emily said in an interview on PSFK.

Inspired to provide consumers with a sustainable and functional sleep solution, Veronica Lee's Remise is a new kind of DTC holistic system that combines an East-meets-West supplement regimen with opt-in data tracking and individualized sleep coaching.
"With our holistic system, we really try to understand the root causes and how to balance the different elements of your health," said Veronica, in an interview with PSFK. "Also, while sleep is probably one of the most foundational elements to affect health, it can often be the first one that gets de-prioritized. We wanted to build something makes it possible for people to keep sleep a priority."
Cyndi Ramirez-Fulton, Founder & CEO, Chillhouse
Recognizing the movement around self-care, Chillhouse founder Cyndi Ramirez developed the cafe and spa located in New York City's Lower East Side on the premise of creating a community-driven space for women, and men, to relax and chill.
Evamaria Rönnegård, Development Leader of Better Living, IKEA
As leader of IKEA's Better Living Project, Evamaria's work centers around rethinking approaches to designing, funding and building our future homes and cities to tackle some of the most urgent challenges, creating more affordable and sustainable spaces for all.
"There is room for everyone in integrated neighborhoods. By sharing responsibilities, meeting each other and doing things together, the community thrives," Evamaria told PSFK in an interview. "Doing so also strengthens diversity and inclusion, which leads to an increased quality of life for the people living there. We believe in a community that has diversity and equality in the forefront."

Kiki Goti, Founder, SomePeople
As founder of the Brooklyn-based architecture and design studio SomePeople focused on tech-led innovation, Kiki is investigating the field of kinetic, adaptive architecture that responds to environmental cues.
"The challenge today is to think beyond this one-way relationship between users and architectural machines: the user gives a command, the architectural machine executes it by transforming itself," said Kiki when we spoke to her for an article. "If your home 'knows' you well, then very subtle shape-changing actions can become very meaningful in a specific context."
Andrea Blieden, GM, The Body Shop U.S.
Turning to the past to move forward, Andrea's work in reviving The Body Shop's U.S. presence involves leaning into the brand's heritage and its founding roots to refocus around sustainability and activism.
"We're still very much on the journey. I would say this is by far the most competitive beauty market. If we're going to stand for something in the activism space—instead of it being a message buried in our store—how can that become our windows, take over our ecommerce, become all of our digital marketing?" asks Andrea in a recent interview on PSFK. "That is a big part of our focus. In the next year, you'll see a lot more of that, where we take a much bolder stance on our activism issues."
Kelle Jacob, Founder & CEO, Balanced Beauty Inc.
Recognizing the major opportunity at the juncture of CBD and skincare, Kelle is developing a line of clinically-tested products as part of her brand poised to redefine how we approach not only skin wellness, but also beauty and self-care in general. She also appeared on the New York Retail Innovation Week stage this year.
Sharon Chuter, Founder, UOMA

DOUGLAS — A Douglas woman is facing domestic violence charges after beating her ex-boyfriend and tossing a container of weed killer through a window at his home, breaking the glass, Wednesday, said Coffee Sheriff Doyle Wooten.
Amanda Katherine Davis, 26, was in the Coffee County jail charged with battery and criminal trespass, said Wooten.
Deputies responded to a residence off Georgia Highway 32 East around 1 p.m. Wednesday in reference to a domestic dispute, said Wooten.
The victim told deputies that Davis entered his home and began hitting and scratching him and that she threw a container of Round-Up weed killer through a window of the residence as she was leaving, the sheriff said.
The victim's testimony was verified by witnesses at the scene, said Wooten.
Davis was found a short time later at a house on Quail Hollow Drive and was arrested, he said.


Garmin Forerunner 35 - Forerunner 35's built-in heart rate monitor tracks your effort level.
By buying this product you'll earn up to 170 Rewards points.
If you're a runner, like me, you know how frustrating it can be to hit a "plateau." You're putting in the miles, but your goals remain tantalizing out of reach. Heart rate training can make the difference by letting you work smarter, and Garmin's Forerunner 35 GPS running watch makes HR training easier than ever. Elevate™ wrist-based technology monitors and records your heart rate without the hassle of chest straps — just touch a button and you'll know where you stand. Forerunner 35 works with free training plans available at Garmin Connect, so you'll toe the starting line confident that your training will propel you to the finish (and maybe a new PR!).
The watch's accurate GPS receiver keeps close tabs on the distance you put in. You'll know at the end of your workout how far you've gone, how long it took, and what your average pace was. And on rainy days, a built-in accelerometer records distance run on a treadmill or indoor track. The Forerunner 35's Auto Lap function automatically records your lap times at whatever distance you choose — you don't even need to push a button during your run.
Garmin's Live Track feature will even let your friends track you in real time during your runs or races when used with your smartphone. And it'll notify you when you when you get a call, plus display text messages. Through Garmin's Connect App, you can share your workouts or races with a broader community, or sync up to your other favorite training apps. And when you're on the move, you can even control the music from your smartphone from Forerunner 35.
Thanks to its extended battery life, Forerunner 35 will be a part of your daily lifestyle. The activity tracker records your steps and even helps set new step goals. And the move bar reminds you to ditch the office chair and get up and move around. Sleep monitoring tracks both how much and how well you sleep, so you can be sure you'll get enough rest to recharge for your next big workout.
1.4" x 1.6" x 0.5"
This GPS watch is exactly the right balance between essential functions and TMI. Perfect for runners and marathon training.
Overview: The Garmin Forerunner 35 is a lightweight (1.3 ounces) running watch with a high-sensitivity GPS receiver which accurately records the distance, time, speed, and location of your runs. It keeps track of your personal records, and lets you know when you have set new ones. The Forerunner 35 provides constant feedback, including the distance traveled, elapsed time, pace, lap time, and speed. With Garmin's Elevate heart rate technology, you can continuously monitor your heart rate. After your run, you can upload your results to the Garmin Connect online community.
Elevate: On the back of the Forerunner 35 is an optical sensor with Garmin's Elevate heart rate technology that shines light onto your skin and measures the amount of light returned. The sensor detects slight changes on your skin as your heart pumps blood and determines your heart rate using a sophisticated algorithm. The back of the watch has a light seal to block out ambient light for accurate results. You can broadcast your heart rate data to other Garmin devices, such as an Edge cycling computer or a VIRB action camera.
Note: The Forerunner 35 is compatible with ANT+ devices, so you could use an optional heart rate monitor strap, if desired.
Heart Rate Zones: Heart Rate Zones are used by many athletes to indicate the level of activity, and to measure their cardiovascular strength. You can let the Forerunner 35 set your heart rate zones based on your user profile, or manually enter heart rate values and ranges for each zone. The heart rate zones are expressed numerically as a percentage of your maximum heart rate on the device's display: 1: 50-60%, 2: 60%-70%, 3: 70%-80%, 4: 80%-90%, and 5: 90%-100%.
Water Resistant: The Forerunner 35 has a 5 ATM water rating, which means it can withstand pressures equivalent to a depth of 50 meters (164 feet). Not only can you run in the rain and wet weather, you can even swim while wearing the device. The device also has a wide operating temperature range of -4° to 122°F.
Monochrome LCD: The Forerunner 35 features a 0.93" x 0.93" monochrome LCD screen with a resolution of 128 x 128 pixels. The backlight can be turned on manually, or with the touch of a key or when you receive an alert.
High-Sensitivity GPS Receiver: The Forerunner 35 features a built-in, high-sensitivity GPS receiver. While you work out, the device tracks where you run, and keeps up with your speed and distance.
Accelerometer: The built-in accelerometer can accurately calculate your speed and distance when running indoors or on a treadmill, when the GPS can't be used. The accelerometer is self-calibrating, and the speed and distance accuracy improves after a few outdoors runs using GPS.
Rechargeable Battery: The Forerunner 35 has a built-in Lithium-Ion rechargeable battery, which will give you about 13 hours of battery life in GPS Training Mode. When not training, you can use the device as a digital watch for up to 9 days on a single charge for smart notifications, activity tracking, and wrist heart rate. A 23" data/charging cradle is provided for charging the battery and uploading your training data.
Automatic Uploads: When your workout is completed, you can automatically upload the stored data from your activity to Garmin Connect.
Software Updates: While connected to your smartphone, the Forerunner 35 will download the latest software updates. On-screen instructions will guide you how to update the software the next time you turn the device on.
Workout/Course Downloads: You can configure workouts and courses using Garmin Connect's Training Center website and wirelessly download them to your device.
Social Media: You can share your results and post updates to your favorite social media site.
Notifications: When you receive an email, text, or other alert on your phone, a notification will be displayed on the Forerunner's display.
Locating A Lost Phone: The Forerunner 35 can help you locate your phone if it is still paired and currently within range. As you search, the Find My Phone widget will display the Bluetooth signal strength and sound an audible alert to help you find your phone.
Widgets: The device is preloaded with widgets that give you information at a glance. Some of the widgets require a Bluetooth connection with a smartphone. The widgets include: Notifications, Calendar, Weather, Activity Tracking, Heart Rate, Controls, and VIRB controls.
History: The Forerunner 35 can save the results for up to 7 activities. Your history displays the date, time of day, distance, run time, calories, average pace or speed, and heart rate zone data. When the memory is full, your oldest data is overwritten. History is not recorded while the timer is stopped or paused.
Watch Functions: When you're not working out, the Forerunner 35 can be used as a basic watch, displaying the time and date, along with an alarm. The time is automatically set by the GPS receiver (or manually, if desired), and can be displayed in 12-hour or 24-hour format.

Can Boris Johnson's Brexit deal avoid a border in the Irish Sea?
Hilary Osborne
The Guardian 6 December 2019
Photograph: Alamy Stock Photo
There will be no border in the Irish Sea as a result of Boris Johnson's Brexit deal.
The prime minister has repeatedly claimed that his withdrawal agreement with the EU does not create friction in trading between Great Britain and Northern Ireland. He has said businesses in Northern Ireland will not face checks or fees when exporting goods to Great Britain.
The Conservative party's manifesto states: "We will ensure that Northern Ireland's businesses and producers enjoy unfettered access to the rest of the UK and that in the implementation of our Brexit deal, we maintain and strengthen the integrity and smooth operation of our internal market."
Presentation slides which appear to have come from the Treasury raise all of the problems that would be caused by an attempt to give Northern Irish exporters unfettered access to the UK market.
The document, presented by Labour at a press conference, suggests there are many potential barriers to unfettered access, and risks associated with such an arrangement.
The slides, entitled NI Protocol: Unfettered access to the UKIM [UK internal market], say that kind of access is "constrained by the international obligations applying to NI by application of EU law".
It continues: "At minimum, this means that exit summary declarations will be required when goods are exported from NI to GB." This will involve extra paperwork for exporters, 98% of which are small or medium-sized businesses.
This wording mirrors comments made to a Lords committee in October by Stephen Barclay, the Brexit secretary.
From the slides, it appears that the exact meaning of "unfettered access" could be interpreted in different ways. A list of interpretations reads:
Lack of restrictions on goods being placed on the market?
Regulatory alignment?
Administrative costs/burdens?
Physical inspections and/or related delays?
Also, the amount of friction in trade moving both ways across the Irish Sea is not wholly in the government's control, but will depend on negotiations with the EU. Friction on the trade route from Northern Ireland will also depend on WTO rules as well as measures introduced by the UK government.
The slides list the compliance risks created by unfettered access, including the risk that Northern Ireland could become a backdoor into Great Britain that would be used by other exporters to avoid import duties and/or regulatory standards.
The impact on Wales and Scotland, and how their governments will respond, is also explored.
"Unfettered access has the potential to undermine the coherence of the UKIM and embed a fundamental asymmetry in its functioning," the presentation says.
The slides make it clear that Northern Ireland has more to lose than Great Britain from any changes, as it relies much more heavily on this trade route. It suggests prices will rise in Northern Ireland, and there could be "tariff equivalents" on 30% of purchases there.
The Conservatives said the presentation was a "flash analysis" carried out after the deal, and not a "definitive" statement of the situation.
But it suggests that there is still a lot of work to be done before it is established how trade can and will operate between Northern Ireland and Great Britain. Negotiations with the EU and Welsh and Scottish governments are needed to determine what checks and processes will be needed.
Although the Conservatives may aspire to a frictionless border, it appears impossible to guarantee one at this stage.

If there was a prescription medicine that could significantly increase your health, with limited side effects, would you take it? If this prescription could drastically reduce the chances of you developing chronic illness, while also helping you through the aging process and increasing your mental well-being, would you consider it? My guess is that you would.
That prescription was just handed out to all Americans. On September 9, 2015, U.S. Surgeon General, Dr. Vivec Murthy announced that he wants us to walk more. He doesn't want us to move alone though, he's also endorsing that we create communities that are more "walkable." He's named the initiative Step It Up, and wants walking to be a national priority. Dr. Murthy even created a playlist on Pandora to get our arms pumping and keep us moving.
In his executive summary, he shares that in 2012, half of all American adults were living with at least one form of chronic illness. Interestingly, he also noted that only 50 percent of adults in the United States admit to working out for the minimum amount suggested for good health (as of 2008, those guidelines suggested that we move moderately for 150 minutes per week, or more strenuously for 75 minutes; kids should be running and playing for at least an hour a day).
Dr. Murthy suggests walking because it's easily accessible for most people, doesn't require any kind of special gear, and it's less likely to cause injury for people that are just starting with an exercise program. He also recognizes, that when combined with proper community planning, walking can easily be integrated into daily life, making more movement a way of life.
He lays out a plan in his call to action. He recognizes that exercise is one of the best ways to prevent illness—it is appropriate for people at all stages of life, and that the people who design the communities we live in should be compelled to provide sidewalks, enticing areas, good public transportation, and well-lit streets so that we actually feel empowered to get out and walk.
1. Make walking a national priority.
This calls on everyone, from individuals to community leaders to create a culture of walking in their lives and communities.
When designing communities, thought should be put into creating sidewalks and other places for walking that are accessible to everyone. He also stresses the importance of having these places feel safe.
3. Create policies that support walking.
Here he focuses on school and workplaces, inviting leaders there to construct a culture of walking by creating safe places and time to incorporate movement into the day-to-day rhythm.
4. Provide information and education about walking.
This speaks to helping people realize how good walking is for them physically and mentally—as well as informing them about great places to walk. We can each do this with a friend or group of friends.
This is more geared toward data collectors and decision makers, but we can each take the opportunity to research and evaluate our own lives, and how much we are (or are not) walking as part of our daily routine.
When we consider the amount of money we spend on our health when we get sick and the outrageous costs associated with chronic illness, we would do well to fill this prescription, and take the full course; finding new walkways to explore and moments in our day to move.

Q: bpf_probe_read_kernel() always failed in tc ebpf prog I write a tc ebpf prog and attach it to some nic's egress, but when I call bpf_probe_read_kernel() to get the process id, it always return 0 and the pid was setted to zero.
__u32 pid = 1;

struct task_struct *curr_task = (struct task_struct *) bpf_get_current_task();

long ret = bpf_probe_read_kernel(&pid, sizeof(__u32), &(curr_task->pid));

bpf_printk("ret = %d, pid = %d", ret, pid);

The code run correctly on ubuntu, but incorrectly on centos, the kernel version is 5.10.25.
expect to get the process id, but it's pid is always set to zero

Just arrived at this event about 20 minutes ago. The keynote was actually at 9:30 am, but I decided to skip it because it sounded like a yawner. I needed some extra time to feed the dog and take my morning poop. My target was to arrive at 10 am, but I decided to try out a new subway line this morning. It turned into a total disaster where the subways came infrequently and I got lost twice in the underground catacombs. All in all, I lost an additional 30 minutes and missed the second presentation which was Bluetooth Low Energy marketing. Fortunately, I wasn't too interested in it, since the main presentation would be the technical details of the BLE spec in the afternoon. I arrived just in time for the break in between presentations so I grabbed two cups of coffee and decided to walk around. There weren't any devices on display and the morning attendance looked a little thin. Probably others had the same idea I did. A nice thing was that they had real-time translators and transceivers with earpieces so you could listen to the presentations in Japanese or English. I asked the person next to me if the transceivers used Bluetooth Low Energy. He didn't think it was too funny.
The next presentation is about to start. The speaker is Mika Saren from Nokia. He discussed a lot of phone-centric concepts in wireless sensor networking and I got the impression that BLE is mainly about phones. It makes sense because it would give BLE a huge installed base and increase the functionality of phones. If that's the case, it might be a master move by Nokia.
His talk focused on mobile phones as a gateway to new types of service that enable data collection from sensors and forwarding to online servers via the phone. It was mostly focused on health monitoring and also sports and fitness where the sensors are worn on the body and transmit data to the phone. I'm not too sure how many soccer players play with their cell phone in their pockets, but maybe I'm just not too knowledgeable about soccer. He did give an interesting example of how a phone that uses BLE can sense your location and change your phone profile based on it. Hence when you're home, it can switch work calls to voice mail, etc. I would think they could already do this with GPS, though.
This guy spent way too much time talking about his company. Polar makes fitness technology devices like wrist-worn heart rate monitors and body sensors. They are used by people like triathletes to monitor speed, heart rate, etc. His presentation looked like it was just copied and pasted out of the company's marketing presentation, and there was even a section on Polar's proprietary 2.4 GHz wireless protocol. After we got through the marketing part, then he finally started talking about BLE.
He showed a couple of slides about the applications that Polar is looking at using BLE for like wrist-worn transmitters that collect data from body-worn sensors team sports. This sounded kind of niche-y but he also had mentioned that fitness equipment manufacturers (ie: Lifecycle) could integrate BLE and work with Polar if the transceivers can reach a low enough cost point. If BLE takes off, then they will be able to have their body sensors communicate with mobile phones which act like a gateway to some online service. The image of Nike suddenly popped into my head which is what I think he meant.
The last section was the most interesting to me. He mentioned the work being done on the BLE health and fitness working group. They are currently working on a device profile for this segment and data from any low energy health device can be converted to the same ISO/IEEE 11073 data format used by HDP (I assumed this meant Bluetooth Health Device Profile) and USB personal healthcare class for data compatibility outside of Bluetooth. Apparently, this was mandated by Continua. Hmmm...I didn't even know there was a USB class for health devices.
2) If the host + device chips will cost the same as the device only chips, then the device chips could be sold for less.
When this guy took the podium, he immediately established his alpha geek in the realm of watches. I am the proud owner of a Casio G-Shock and many versions of the former calculator watches, but it's obvious this guy eats and breathes watches. His first slide was interesting in a non BLE way. The actual number of watches being sold has been decreasing since 2000 or so. Turns out that people are relying more on their cell phones for timekeeping and either don't bother with watches or don't buy them in the quantities they used do. The other interesting slide was that the total revenue from watches has been increasing steadily. This means that people buying watches are buying expensive ones, most likely for conspicuous consumption.
I wish I could go into the details of his watch presentation which was fascinating and went into the history of watches at Casio, different graphs on watch face size versus features, etc, but it's a bit offtopic and probably not too interesting for anyone that's not into Casios.
He made some pretty strong statements about BLE, the most memorable being: "Bluetooth Low Energy is the future focus of Casio". Some of the features he's envisioning is getting the time sync signal from the phone (which I assumes gets it from the cell base stations), phone control via watch, and sensor monitoring. The phone control thing sounds really cool. How fun would it be to send callers to voice mail by pushing a button on your watch.
He also mentioned some applications like an out-of-range warning from the watch when valuables go beyond a certain distance. This could be like car keys, wallets, etc. This was mentioned by the Nokia guy also, but I think it might be kind of tough. They are all planning to use RSSI for the proximity measurement, but from what I've seen and personally experienced, the RSSI can be influenced by obstacles, interferences and a bunch of other things. I remember Zigbee had the same concept back in 2005 but it kind of died off…Some of the other applications are things like a "panic button" that will automatically dial an emergency number on your cell phone (or to a hospital/call center), and an alert system that can be used to issue systemwide alerts, like if you're in range of a missile hit. Don't laugh, that was his actual example, and pokes some fun at North Korea who is constantly threatening to fire missiles at Japan.
The main point he was trying to make is that BLE is a better fit for the watch market than Bluetooth was and can help reverse the trend of declining sales volume of watches. He's looking at BLE to pair watches with cell phones and piggyback on cell phone sales.
The last thing he kind of mentioned under his breath is that Casio is also looking into wearable devices. You listening out there, Mr. Faludi?

One important lesson that should be learned is that it is not wise to rush into the market for penny stocks, as the proper information is so crucial to success. Getting the scoop from others that have chartered these waters before you is a good way to get information that is more likely to be unbiased. The information you get from the sellers is not necessarily going to have your best interests in mind and can easily lead you astray.
As an investor, it's important to diversify. Obviously, you don't want to carry all your eggs in a basket. This can hurt you if everything goes south. Make sure you review financial statements, balance sheets, statement of revenue, and similar documents that can help you decide if it's a worthwhile investment.
There can be an upside to trading in penny stocks. If you plan carefully, you can reap the rewards. Taking a look at the financial health of a company can lead you to an informed decision on whether or not you should be investing with them or with their counterparts in the same industry.

James Stafford – 'Stay at Home': The Politics of Nuclear Civil Defence, 1968–83
A superb article covering the latter years of Civil Defence in the United Kingdom. It looks at the infamous UK government leaflet Protect and Survive, "The State, the Public, and the Bomb: the Making of Protect and Survive" and how it tried to reconcile many completely contradictory elements of what became known as Home Defence being very distinct from Civil Defence (Duncan Campbell covers this in great depth in War Plan UK).
The key figure in the development of Protect and Survive was Duncan Buttery, Assistant Secretary in charge of the Public Emergencies Division at the Home Office and his input into the character of the material makes it much clearer on the presentational style of the leaflet and companion TV and radio broadcasts.
Buttery was a name unknown to me until I found this article but I did know form various articles from The Times in early 1980, Protect and Survive did seem to go through an extremely long gestation yet was quickly torn to pieces and parodied very quickly upon publication.
The full text of Stafford's article is here: http://tcbh.oxfordjournals.org/content/23/3/383.full however you may need access to it via University or other academic institution, and is a shame this authoritative article could not be read more widely.

Protect and Survive Myths
For many years it has been thought that Protect and Survive included the following announcement spoken by Patrick Allen:
"Mine is the last voice you will ever hear…Do Not be Alarmed"
Although it is pretty much impossible to say with absolute certainty that this was never recorded for Protect and Survive, these exact words do appear	on a remix of Frankie Goes to Hollywood's "Two Tribes", the Carnage Long Version remix recorded in 1984.
There have been persistent rumours over the years that there is also an extended warning in Protect and Survive recorded with the words:
"Mine is the last voice you will ever hear, do not be alarmed." and: "If you mother, or any other member of your family dies due to radiation, put them outside, but remember to tag them first for decontamination purposes."
In likelihood this came from an early version of FGTH Welcome to the Pleasuredome. I have never been able to find this was recorded for Protect and Survive, there also seems no evidence to	support the claim Trevor Horn sampled Protect and Survive for Two Tribes, as far as I can tell Patrick Allen was engaged to come back into the studio for FGTH and perform cod-versions of his original lines.

Thoughts on the UKWMO
The United Kingdom Warning and Monitoring Organisation, "UKWMO" was an organisation run by the Home Office to warn the public on impending, essentially nuclear, attack.
This leaflet from 1979 attempts to explain what the function of the UKWMO is as the most the public tended to see were the above ground entrances to the three-person bunkers scattered across the UK (a full list here). Within a few minutes the UKWMO was meant to be able to send out a warning to any and all parts of the UK of a pending air attack. It's secondary job was to plot the ground-zeroes of nuclear explosions and then to plot and originate fall-out warnings.
Given that the UKWMO was staffed almost entirely by volunteers it is difficult to say whether in a transition to war whether the organisation would have worked at all. This is not to cast doubt on the willingness of volunteers to turn up (although in a time of extreme tension no one can say with any certainty people would have left their families to hide down a hole) but whether in the resources available would the system have actually worked? In fact, would it even have been mobilised?
Most of the communications used by the UKWMO were fundamentally based around the public telephone network, especially those linking carrier control points and carrier receiver points as well as the monitoring posts. If one of their main post-attack functions was to monitor and provide fall-out warnings it seems unlikely that the telephone network would have survived in tact sufficiently well for them to do this. It does seem fairly unrealisitc to believe they would have been able to keep going despite the overly rosy-view of the end of the world in this UKWMO film from 1962 "Hole in the Ground." (often erroneously called "Sound an Alarm" but the original title card – missing from this clip — does reveal the correct name; see BFI collection "COI Collection, The: Vol 6: Worth the Risk?").
A more serious point has to be whether UKMWO would even have been called up at all in a crisis. To a belligerent, seeing the main nuclear-warning arm of the UK being called up for duty could be seen as provocative possibly even encouraging an early strike. Much has been said along these lines about civil defence for many years; that mobilising organisations like the UKWMO could actually be seen as preparedness for war.
We were all fortunate that the UKWMO was never needed in its active role and at the end of the Cold War it was shut-down permanently in 1991.

Epidemiologic studies of the prevalence of rheumatic heart disease have used clinical screening with echocardiographic confirmation of suspected cases. We hypothesized that echocardiographic screening of all surveyed children would show a significantly higher prevalence of rheumatic heart disease. Randomly selected school children from 6 through 17 years of age in Cambodia and Mozambique were screened for heart disease according to standard clinical and echocardiographic criteria. Systematic screening with echocardiography, as compared with clinical screening, reveals a much higher prevalence of rheumatic heart disease (approximately 10 times as great). Since rheumatic heart disease frequently has devastating clinical consequences and secondary prevention may be effective after accurate identification of early cases, these results have important public health implications.


Preheat the oven to 425 degrees . Combine 4 tablespoons of salt with the chili powder and rub over the pork tenderloins.
In a large ovenproof skillet set over medium-high heat, melt 1 tablespoon of the butter with the olive oil. Sear the tenderloins until browned, about 3 minutes on each side. Transfer the skillet to the oven and roast for 15 minutes.
Meanwhile, in a large skillet, melt the remaining 3 tablespoons of butter. Add the lima beans and cook for 5 minutes. Add the corn and apples and cook for 2 minutes more; season to taste with salt and pepper.
Remove the pork from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing. Serve the sliced pork with the succotash on the side.

INSP Announces Destinations for Season 2 of State Plate
New Episodes of the Award-Winning Culinary Travel Series, Hosted by Entertainer Taylor Hicks, to Premiere This Summer
(Indian Land, SC – February 28, 2017) – Family-entertainment network INSP has released its destinations for season 2 of State Plate, its award-winning culinary travel series hosted by platinum-selling entertainer and former American Idol™ winner Taylor Hicks.
"After much contemplation and deliberation, which included looking at viewer emails, calls and countless social media posts, we have determined we will feature the below states in this next season" said Doug Butts, Senior Vice President of Programming at INSP:
Mississippi Missouri Pennsylvania
Alabama Iowa Maryland
Vermont Minnesota Oregon
New York South Dakota Washington
In the new season, Taylor Hicks will once again embark upon a captivating tour to assemble a plate of that state's most emblematic foods. Along the way, he will visit farms, ranches, markets, festivals and other diverse locales in order to uncover the stories and legends behind their unique food traditions.
"It's been very exciting to see and hear comments from our viewers, especially from those who have lobbied hard to have their own state's culinary heritage featured," continued Butts. With so much great food and history to explore, narrowing the list down to 12 was difficult, but we are confident that what we have selected will offer up a heaping helping of unique cuisine that is both rich in history and flavor."
RIVR Media continues as producer of State Plate and they plan to begin shooting new episodes this spring. The series is scheduled to premiere on INSP in late summer 2017.

Steven Ring Picks Up All-American Honors
Sophomore catcher Steven Ring set records during a breakout 2017 season for the Hillsdale College baseball team. Friday afternoon, he found out he will eventually, join the distinguished list of athletes with a photo in the sports complex basement.
Ring was named honorable mention All-American by the Division II Conference Commissioners Association. He earned his honor at the utility/non-pitcher position, one he was eligible for thanks to his split time between catcher and first base. In most of Hillsdale's doubleheaders this season, Ring played the first game at catcher and game two at first base.
The D2CCA program is one in which sports information directors at Division II institutions nominate and vote on All-Region and All-American candidates.
He was one of the players who had a new opportunity to become a contributing player after the big senior class of 2016 graduated. To say he took advantage of that opportunity is a gross understatement.
Ring set school single-season records for both home runs (17) and runs batted in (63) while leading Hillsdale to 25 wins and its second consecutive berth in the GLIAC Tournament. He set both records with one memorable swing in the conference tournament against Grand Valley State May 13, blasting a towering home run that fell among the top of the trees at Grady's Field in Xenia, Ohio.
He set Hillsdale's single-season home run record with a similarly memorable blast May 6 at home against Lake Erie College. His then-record 16th home run was his second grand slam in as many at bats, which came as part of a game where he drove in a single-game school record nine runs.
The 2016 and 2017 seasons were Hillsdale's last two in the GLIAC, but they represented a renaissance in the program. From 1990-2015, no Charger baseball player had earned athletic All-American recognition. But in the past two years, four players have picked up those honors: Luke Ortel and Chris McDonald in 2016, and Ethan Wiskur and Ring in 2017.

News for nerds
That little voice in your head—if you have it—may be aligning your thoughts
August 14, 2020 August 12, 2020 originalchristmasgiftcom
It's not uncommon these days to have some time alone with your thoughts. But what does that sound like, if it sounds like anything at all?
Many people feel their thoughts take the form of an inner voice, a sort of conversation with themselves in their mind, according to a new questionnaire on inner voices developed by University of Wisconsin–Madison researchers. Others discover (often through the internet) this way of experiencing thoughts, and are thoroughly confused by the idea.
"It's much easier to see physical differences, that someone can jump higher than you, or run faster," says Gary Lupyan, a UW–Madison psychology professor who studies language and cognition. "But the masked differences—differences in how you perceive something or how you think about something—those are much harder to discover. You sort of have to have people comparing notes."
Variations in the way our minds conjure images and spoken words are a recurring topic for posts on Facebook and Reddit. Software engineer Blake Ross posted to Facebook in 2016 an essay about what he described as "as close to an honest-to-goodness revelation as I will ever live in the flesh. Here it is: You can visualize things in your mind."
Ross wrote that he could not. Not a specific thing like his father's face, or a generalized beach scene. Thousands of comments poured in.
When a Reddit user posted a video about the various ways people describe their thoughts, many commenters expressed confusion. "Sometimes I react to something and say it in my head instead of out loud, but this is not an all-day, everyday occurrence," wrote one commenter. "Do I think as patterns? I don't know what that means … I'm feeling baffled by all of this."
Previous questionnaires about inner voices have focused on different questions: say, does an inner voice serve as a method of self-assessment or to provide motivation.
"What we're looking at is a propensity. How frequently do people report doing these things?" says Hettie Roebuck, a postdoctoral researcher in Lupyan's lab and coauthor of the Internal Representations Questionnaire, published with its first results this spring in the journal Behavioral Research Methods. "This idea of inner speech has not been studied much at all, and our measure provides it in the context of things like visual imagery and orthographic imagery (visualizing text)."
The propensity tilts toward voice-hearers.
Just 19% of the new questionnaire's 232 respondents (all adults) disagreed with the statement, "I hear words in my 'mind's ear' when I think." Sixteen percent disagreed with the statement, "I think about problems in my mind in the form of a conversation with myself."
And while questionnaire responses back up the anecdotal confusion in online discussions, they also contradict the way respondents imagine other people's internal lives.
"The people who tell us they don't really experience inner speech, they assume that others don't either. And someone who experiences a lot, they assume that others do as well," says Lupyan. "It's interesting, though, that there's no evidence of bimodality—that you either hear thoughts this way or you don't. People like categories and types, but the reality is people fall on a continuum from little to a lot.
The results were stable over time, with subjects scoring similar levels of inner voice activity in questionnaires administered months apart, and gave the researchers an opportunity to study its relationship with other aspects of their thinking.
In one experiment, participants were shown pictures of an object, followed by a word that either described the pictured object or not. All they had to do was tell researchers if the picture and the word matched. But there was a hitch. Sometimes mismatched pairs rhymed, like a picture of a tree followed by the word "key."
"The cool thing is, the people who say they verbalize their thoughts to a greater extent take much longer to answer if those pictures and words rhyme," Roebuck says. "Even though the words are never said out loud, they are slowed down by combinations like key and tree or bear and hair or snail and whale."
People whose questionnaire results show them leaning toward orthographic imagery—seeing words as they think—were tripped up by a different sort of relationship. They were slower to answer if the word for the picture they were shown and the actual word they saw look similar when they're both written out.
"Think about the words 'root' and 'foot' or 'comb' and 'bomb.' They sound different but they're spelled in very similar ways," Roebuck says. "So, the people who say they think more frequently by seeing words written down, they take longer to sort this out when there's visual similarity to the words—again, even though that picture they've seen has no text in it whatsoever."
It's evidence that the differences in visual and "audible" representations in their mind are connected to differences in the way they organize their thoughts.
"To the extent that someone is using language more in moment-to-moment cognition, language may also be aligning their mental spaces," Lupyan says.
Building a way to consistently describe personal differences in internal verbalization and visual or orthographic imagery can help researchers trying to study different modes of alignment.
"The people who score low on inner speech, there's a lot less known about what their experiences are like," says Lupyan. "People say things like, 'I think in ideas,' or, 'I think in concepts,' and it's not really clear what that is. Being able to identify these people opens up the possibility of better understanding of how they are thinking."

Facebook is known to grab people's attention. For a business owner, this means being an attention whore can actually be a great thing! Facebook ads have been evolving over the years and now provide you with the essential tools to create a successful ad for your brand.
Being an attention whore on Facebook can be very benefiting! Ad images have to be visually enticing to be noticed! Hence, using your attention whoring skills to achieve this goal. If not, your chances of getting clicks and conversions on Facebook become slim to none.
In order to surpass other business ads, you need to create outstanding media to share.
"High-quality visual content can have a major impact on your conversion funnel," says Nate Birt, a content marketer at visually.
Post consistently! You need facebook users to know who you are and what your product/service is, right? Your value should always be transparent. Don't be afraid to interact and communicate with your audience frequently. Clients/customers prefer to engage with REAL people behind the page. By posting often you are building presence & trust for your business. Centering the attention on you will drive more traffic to your ad. After all, you do want the most clicks; so you'll have to do the most. More than your competitors, that is.
Add a CALL TO ACTION: Building an ad can take some work! Your attention seeking skills can be on point, but your ad should always include a CTA as well. Not only should you visually entice your audience, give them something to engage in. You want to establish a connection too!
Include humans, preferably happy humans in your images. We don't want to portray boring ol office ads. Post uplifting images of people smiling, laughing, doing something they enjoy!

Eddie Mac's Book: A Nod To Maxfield at Churchill; Chad Brown Looking Good at Del Mar
By Ed McNamara
There's always a hangover after the Breeders' Cup, the final exam for horseplayers. If you did well, you have happy memories. If not, like me, you soured on the game temporarily. As Frank Sinatra sang in "My Way": "Regrets, I have a few." Here's why I've been beating myself up lately.
After obsessively researching the turf races, I spoke with my friend Craig, also a connoisseur of grass racing. He mentioned there was a Saturday pick 4 linking the Turf Sprint, Filly & Mare Turf, Mile and Turf. "This is right up our alley," he said. No doubt about it, but …
November 6 was a busy day at our house because my wife and I were babysitting our beloved 2 1/2-year-old grandson, who's a double handful. By the time the Breeders' Cup races began at about 3 p.m. ET, I was tired, distracted and preparing to write. With all that going on, I forgot about the all-turf pick 4 and didn't play it.
Oh, you know what happened. I had named all four winners in my usracing.com column, including 8-1 Yibir in the Turf. A $40 investment would have paid $457.30 on a 50-cent base wager.
I gave it out. I shoulda had it! It was my worst woulda, coulda, shoulda in years, a big one that got away and shouldn't have. Not winning hurts a lot more than losing, but it's time for me to let it go and shake off the malaise. Thanksgiving weekend offers plenty of high-quality racing, and I'll try to get back on track with a few winners.

The Clark, the highlight of Churchill's fall meet, shapes up as a two-horse battle between Midnight Bourbon (1) and Maxfield (8). Both skipped the Breeders' Cup Classic to wait for this spot, and I prefer Maxfield.
It's his career finale, so Brendan Walsh will have him fully cranked, and he's a horse for course. Maxfield is 4-for-4 at Churchill, and I think the classy 4-year-old can stalk and pounce on front-runner Midnight Bourbon.
I never like trying to beat a talented horse who's almost sure to be alone on the lead, but Midnight Bourbon is a special case. He's 2-for-12 lifetime and in a 1-for-10 slump, losing ground in the stretch in all 10. He's also 0-for-2 at Churchill.
Midnight Bourbon's best chance to beat Maxfield would be to wait in front. That's what he did in the Travers, when he set plodding fractions (48 4/5, 1:14 2/5, 1:38 4/5) and lost by a neck to superstar Essential Quality.
Maxfield is 7-for-10 lifetime, with legitimate excuses for all three losses. In his last two he was second to standout Art Collector and Classic hero Knicks Go, the Horse of the Year. In March, Maxfield suffered his first career defeat in the Santa Anita Handicap, whose 1 1/4 miles were a furlong too far.
Walsh is optimistic he'll go out a winner for all-conquering Godolphin.
"This horse just cruises over this racetrack," he said. "He simply loves it at Churchill. He's doing everything great leading into this race and we'll be ready to go come Friday."

Breaking news: Trainer Chad Brown has an excellent chance to finish 1-2 for the umpteenth time in a grass stakes. Likely favorite Sacred Life (7) is the best closer in a race that should set up his powerful finishing move. His stablemate Flop Shot (3) figures to set a quick pace, with Field Pass (2) probably pressing him. Both are multiple-stakes winners, so they're not cheap speed.
Sacred Life is 14-for-21 in the exacta and comes off one of his best performances, a come-from-behind victory by a head over Field Pass in Belmont's Grade 3 Knickerbocker Handicap. Sacred Life blasted through the final furlong in about 11 seconds, about as fast as thoroughbreds can go. A repeat of that finish puts him in the winner's circle at a short price.

Public Sector (6), another Chad Brown horse on the upswing, goes for his fourth straight graded-stakes win and looks very tough. He zipped his final eighth in 11 1/5 seconds to win by a neck last time in his first try at 9 furlongs. He projects for a favorable trip, while speedy stakes-winners Camp Hope (11) and Subconscious (12) are hung out wide and may compromise each other up front.
Cathkin Peak (3) won't be 26-1 this time after a troubled second behind perfect-tripper Subconscious in the Twilight Derby. The Irish-bred gelding picks up grass ace Flavian Prat. He should get a ground-saving trip and could inflate the exacta again.
