E-Learning Has Changed Education in Africa Forever
E-learning has changed the face of education forever, thanks to COVID-19, and there's no going back to the way things were.
At the beginning of the pandemic, education institutes across Europe, Africa and the Middle East had to adjust very quickly to new hybrid learning environments, and there was a need to take a hard look at their IT network capabilities in anticipation of a return to a busy campus in the months to come.
Numerous technology capabilities have been tested to their absolute limits since COVID-19 forced students of all ages into a home learning environment.
But after the scramble to patch together short-term emergency remote instruction, how can education institutes maintain the increased pace of their digital transformation and ensure the enhanced digital capabilities become locked in for the longer term?
Particularly when digital transformation is growing ever more important for student satisfaction and for institutions needing to stay competitive.
When COVID-19 was first identified and started impacting South Africa, the Department of Basic Education (DBE) and the Department of Higher Education (DHE) were forced to restructure their operations and learn how to accommodate teachers, parents, and learners digitally.
From the transformation, the Department of Basic Education (DBE) indicated that digital learning during the pandemic reached only 30% of the learners throughout the country.
Whether pressured by the global pandemic or not, schools and universities have had to embrace digital instruction and learning, continuous collaboration, and develop more smart spaces.
IT decision-makers (ITDMs) in education are being tasked with providing increasingly complex network solutions to our respected centres of learning.
As they plan for a new term, they must ensure they have robust capabilities in place to respond to three main challenges: managing expanding campus footprints and devices; supporting more sophisticated and frequently hybrid teaching methods and safeguarding users and data against cybercrime.
Managing Expanding Campus Footprints
COVID-19 forced education institutes into remote learning practically overnight – and whilst this has been a herculean challenge, it has also shown its viability.
Once the coronavirus is largely under control, some schools and universities may want to keep elements of this virtual situation, even as more students return to campuses. But there is also a need to build in a degree of flexibility to go hybrid between the two – no one knows what the future holds.
Meanwhile, student device and organisational IoT usage are on the rise – with students bringing more devices with them and campuses adopting IoT technologies to improve facility management, lower operational costs and enhance student experiences.
Whatever post-COVID scenario we find ourselves in, campus networks will have to deal with an increased volume of connected devices and an ever-expanding and contracting footprint.
For education planners, the challenge becomes how to provide anytime, anywhere access for students, staff, and guests alike, and deliver a consistent experience whenever and wherever a user logs in.
To tackle these challenges education ITDMs need to start with complete network visibility – leveraging a single unified infrastructure across administrative offices, departmental buildings, lecture halls, classrooms, research facilities and outdoor spaces to deploy, manage, analyse, diagnose, and remediate network operations centrally.
Moreover, in order for institutes to manage any cybercrime for their students, they should set strong and unique passwords for each account or use a password manager. They should also be mindful about what they post online – anything that can't live on a public billboard shouldn't be shared.
Most importantly students need to understand the basic principles of cybersecurity.
Supporting Sophisticated Teaching and Learning Modalities
As schools, colleges, and universities embrace digital learning, education ITDMs must deal with issuing more devices to students, as well as building out smart spaces to support not only greater interactivity and collaboration but also campus safety initiatives.
Against this backdrop, advanced technologies like Machine Learning (ML) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) are becoming more common and the use of learning analytics has also dramatically expanded, particularly in higher education.
In fact, Aruba research from 2020 showed that 42% of ITDMs in education had production apps running with AI even before the pandemic.
These are significant problems and a lack of electricity in some areas contributed to a drop in attendance. To get around this challenge, live teaching sessions were recorded so learners did not miss any classes. South African learners have had to also deal with data costs and load shedding.
Luckily, as well as contributing to the issue, AI offers the solution here in the form of Artificial intelligence for IT operations (AIOps), which automates many of the day-to-day tasks network managers must run.
One of the many benefits AIOps offers ITDMs is the ability to prioritise apps and essential administrative and academic services and ensure they perform at their peak potential, without impacting educators' or students' thirst for new learning experiences.
Safeguarding Against Cybercrime
Whenever the discussion around introducing new technologies in education arises, so does the thorny issue of cyber threats.
Cybercrime has been increasing over the past years, with education institutes often viewed as a soft target for stealing personal data or shutting down campuses entirely with ransomware.
Already made vulnerable by the increase in student devices and the trend towards an open, collaborative culture, security challenges are growing within the education sector as forward-thinking universities and departments embrace industrial IoT, which is leaving them susceptible to data breaches and cyber-disruptions.
In fact, our research showed that 59% of education ITDMs felt connecting IoT devices to networks increases the attach surface and makes them more vulnerable.
According to a KnowBe4.com report, during the first quarter of 2020, it was reported that the was a 17% increase in viruses for January, a 52% increase for February, and an alarming 131% increase for March compared to the same months in 2019.
This was because students and learners were accessing the internet via their personal devices (from tablets to PC and laptops) that may or may not be up to date with latest security patches and recommendations. Such devices are more at risk of being compromised.
But network visibility and device identification are also key – ensuring a single-pane-of-glass view and giving IT teams the ability to grant differentiated levels of data access according to device or user group.

The 2014 precinct data provides a comprehensive map of the City of Detroit's Police Department precincts. The precincts were created by building from the squad car areas dataset published on the City of Detroit's open data portal in 2014. However, D3 staff revised the precinct geographies to reflect the maps displayed on the police department's website since the Scout Car Areas didn't line up consistently. It is possible to view each individual precinct boundary and squad car area on the City of Detroit Police Department's website. This map was created in order to layout the boundaries of each precinct on one map, providing a complete map of all twelve police precincts. This map was created using ArcMap by Alexis Farmer and D3 staff on July 7, 2015.

The ability of verbal reasoning and quick brainstorming is crucial to all parts of the speaking tests since you might encounter topics that you hardly heard of or have never talked about before, and must provide answer within seconds of preparation. Well developed reasoning skill and flexibility in answering will help you go through this trickiest skill test safe and sound!
How long does it take me to find solutions for a given topic?
What is my habit of thinking? Do I think systematically or just jump at whatever appears to my head first?
Is it difficult for me to put information in order or structure?
For the first question, if your answer is a, then you got a huge room for improvement. Start by tackling the simplest topic in life. Ex: what subject do you like studying at school; what movie you think is the best of this century; .etc. When you start thinking about the topic, practice the habit of thinking in structure. You may fill in the question What, When, Who, Why and How, for instance. Then, put all the information in order of logical thinking, from the general to the specific ones, or from the past to the future. One trick is to "forget everything you have learnt". Your present thinking habit may be not efficient that it takes you so long to come up with ideas. Pick one new effective thinking style and make it your new habit. If your answer is b, then you are now in need of more challenging and uncommon topics. Practice the habit of asking questions whenever you read news or encounter an event in daily life. For ex: Why were there so many people supported Donald Trump while at first the media seemed to go against him? What are the drawbacks that your country's education has spent time on improving but still sees no progress?… The trick is to collect information while you read or listen to surrounding events. Extend your knowledge on a wide range of topic and WOW the examiners! If you answer c, congrats! You can move to the next one now.
Question 2 and 3 mostly concern your logical thinking. The way and order you put your ideas into a complete paragraph is crucial for the understanding of the audience. General flow of thinking is define the topic, describe the topic and conclude the topic. If you put your concluding ideas to the top, audience may understand but it will be a bit difficult. If you put your description to the top, it is even a more serious problem since audience has no idea what they are listening to! So, try to put all of your ideas in a usual order that ordinary people use to process information.
Taking notes is familiar to all students at schools but the truth is not all students are taking notes in the right way. Of course there are no fixed method for anyone but some are better than others. Summarizing is a technique of note taking.
1) How often do I take note? Is it my habit or am I just forced to do that?
2) Do I find it hard to keep up with what the lecturer say and then jot down on my note?
3) Is it easy for me to recall all the knowledge by revising my notes?
4) Can I often see the core problem of a topic or the big picture of an event? Can I give general ideas of a 10-page lecture in several sentences?
Summarizing is an essential technique. If you answer No to question number 4, then you are lacking the ability to understand the main ideas. The price of this is loosing points for omitting important information and focusing on less important details. The trick here is to think about the core information of the subject in the lecture and pay attention to the amount of time the speaker allocates for each idea. For ex: the main ideas of a problem may include its causes, a description of its progress, its impacts and solutions. If the speaker spends time explaining the causes and progress, then this might be a lecture about discussing a problems without specific solutions suggested. If he spends time on describing the solutions, then this lecture is about how to solve the problem. To practice, you should develop a habit of writing reports of what you have read or listen. For instance, you listen to a political issue in the US on the breaking news.Then you should take a few minutes to note down what is the headline of the news, where and when the event occurs, who are involved, how it is progressing… Watch the video below to visualize what you should do. Try use just several words or sentences to wrap up all the information. Now, your task is to practice until you say YES to the 4th question.
Your teachers might have told you over and over about plagiarism and "use your own words" You may be excellent at listening and summarizing the lecture but if you do not know how to communicate the information with your own words, your notes will have little use. Paraphrasing requires a flexible use of vocabulary and grammar from what you can easily express the ideas in many different ways. The point is to keep the original idea but show it in away that audience feel it fresh and interesting. Below is an example.
Original sentence: Her life spanned years of incredible change for women.
Paraphrase: She lived through an era of liberating reform for women.
Original sentence: Giraffes like eating leaves and hay and they can consume 75 pounds of food a day.
Paraphrase: A giraffe can eat up to 75 pounds of leaves and hay everyday.
Sentence transformation is an excellent exercise to practice paraphrasing. Try the exercise below and see how it works for paraphrasing.

…By the time we got to…..the shop, all the phones had been sold.
I didn't know it was Carl until he took off his hat.

Hemp vs Cannabis CBD
// Hemp vs Cannabis CBD
At Torrey Holistics, one of our core values is to educate the community on the benefits of cannabis and how to consume it safely and successfully. For us, this means compiling all of the most accurate, science-backed information available and providing it to consumers so that they are empowered to make informed decisions about their health. As advances in medical cannabis research have and continue to shed light on the many therapeutic benefits that the plant has to offer, it has quickly gained in popularity, and for good reason. Unfortunately, it is easy to become confused by the vast onslaught of information—and misinformation—that we are bombarded with on a daily basis. One such topic includes the difference between cannabis versus hemp; for instance, the differences, safety, and legality of such products. For this reason, we strive whenever possible to provide clarification on this complicated subject.
What are cannabis and hemp, and how are they different?
Cannabis and hemp are both varieties of the Cannabis sativa species. Cannabis (not to be confused with its broader species Cannabis sativa) is known botanically as the "drug-type" plant, or colloquially as marijuana, weed, pot, bud, ganja, etc., and yields a high resin content in its flowers. Occurring in this resin are over 500 different compounds, including cannabidiol (CBD) and tetrahydrocannabinol (THC). Hemp, on the other hand, yields a low resin content in its flowers and produces minute amounts of CBD. Industrial hemp is a durable and sustainable source of items such as paper, cloth, ink, and even cars.
By Martin E. Lee
Cannabis Oil vs Hemp Oil
What is the legality of cannabis and hemp?
On the federal level, both cannabis and hemp were outlawed by the passage of the Controlled Substances Act of 1970. As two varieties of Cannabis Sativa, the Act prohibited "the resin extracted from any part of such plant; and every compound, manufacture, salt, derivative, mixture, or preparation of such plant, its seeds or resin." While the flowers of both plants produce resin—where CBD is produced, cannabis flowers produce a much higher volume than hemp flowers, as well as over 500 other compounds that interact synergistically to create therapeutic effects greater than just one compound alone.
Cannabis also produces THC, the compound responsible for producing the mind-altering effects we often associate with cannabis use. In 2018, passage of the Farm Bill differentiated hemp from cannabis, defining it (somewhat arbitrarily) as any variety of Cannabis sativa that expresses less than 0.3% THC by dry weight volume (by contrast, cannabis plants typically produce anywhere from 5-30% THC). The bill legalized the growing and manufacturing of hemp for industrial purposes, meaning the non-resinous parts of the plant could be harvested and made into items such as clothes, soap, ink, and even cars. The resin-producing parts of the plant are essentially discarded as industrial waste.
So what prevents someone from growing hemp as a means to harvest its CBD-producing flowers? To make matters more complicated, the Federal Food, Drug, & Cosmetics Act of 1938 allowed the FDA to regulate the addition of health supplements to—you guessed it—food, drugs, and cosmetics. Despite the legalization of hemp, CBD is still considered an unregulated supplement, prohibiting its use in any product intended for therapeutic relief. Not only does this mean food, candy, oils, and other ingestibles, but also lotions, creams, bath bombs, patches, and more.
Within California, the passage of Proposition 64 in 2018 legalized the THC-producing variety of Cannabis sativa for recreational use, under the caveat that it be closely regulated by the newly-appointed state Bureau of Cannabis Control. Any product made from a plant producing over 0.3% THC is subject to their regulations and can only be sold and purchased through licensed dispensaries and delivery services. Nowhere in the proposition does it touch upon products made with hemp-derived CBD, because these products still fall under the jurisdiction of the FDA. Ultimately, nowhere in the US are you legally allowed to add CBD—derived from hemp or otherwise—to an over-the-counter product. The only exception to this rule is the one FDA-approved CBD drug, Epidiolex, which can only be obtained with a doctor's prescription. Any CBD product that can be bought outside of a dispensary is not regulated, therefore making it legally ambiguous and potentially unsafe.
Sourcing CBD: Marijuana, Industrial Hemp, & the Vagaries of Federal Law
Statement from FDA Commissioner Scott Gottlieb, M.D.
Warning Letters & Test Results for Cannabidiol-Related Products
How safe are cannabis and hemp products?
The regulations on cannabis products imposed by the California Bureau of Cannabis Control are scrutinous and a boon to consumers. Each and every product sold in a licensed dispensary must be tested rigorously for pesticides, heavy metals, mold, and a variety of other toxins in order to ensure their safety. While hemp-derived CBD products are widely available at convenience stores, street markets, hair salons, and more, consumers are not guaranteed that their purchases are free of these toxic substances; remember, hemp may only be grown for industrial purposes and is not held to the same consumer safety standards as its counterpart. The more responsible hemp companies will subject their products to testing and make the results available publicly. However, one word of caution on this point: always look into the testing facility employed, as some are not state-approved and may engage in irresponsible testing and reporting practices, such as misconstruing results.

Do hemp products work as well as cannabis products?
CBD, when taken alone, does offer some health benefits, such as relieving minor aches, pains, and abrasions and promoting general wellbeing. That being said, there is significant evidence that CBD taken in the presence of THC and other compounds found in the cannabis plant increases its therapeutic potential exponentially. This concept is known as the Entourage Effect. Whereas cannabis flowers produce over 500 cannabinoids (like THC and CBD), terpenes (aromatic compounds), and flavonoids (pigment-producing compounds) in varying combinations, hemp produces just one compound: CBD. Incorporating whole-flower cannabis products into one's lifestyle is recommended for alleviating more serious health concerns, such chronic pain, anxiety, depression, and more. The greatest part about the newly-legal cannabis market is that there are products available that are very low in THC, so much so that consumers can experience the full entourage effect without the psychoactivity that can be adverse to some.
What's in my hemp product?
CBD—whether from cannabis or hemp—can offer a myriad of health benefits, and emerging research continues to validate the anecdotal experiences of veteran consumers everywhere. There are plenty of honest, reputable hemp brands on the market. That being said, with no regulatory oversight, many are eager to cash in on the newest wellness craze. In order to circumvent the confines of the law, many companies will market their products as being made from hemp while containing no CBD at all. They recognize the confusion around hemp, cannabis, CBD, "The Oil," etc. and capitalize on the misconception that all hemp products contain CBD. This is false; a product can be made with hempseed oil or hemp stalk, which do not yield the resin in which CBD occurs. In addition, a product may proudly claim to have upwards of 1,000 milligrams, but neglect to specify that they are referring to total plant matter—not CBD itself. Numerous studies, including our own, have found that a large portion of the products available in the marketplace today do not contain any CBD whatsoever, absolving them from the scrutinizing eye of the FDA.
Other mis-marketing tactics used by hemp companies include using fancy but meaningless terms such as "nano-emulsified," "whole plant," "bio-available," or "full-spectrum" hemp (if you recall, hemp only produces CBD—no other cannabinoids, terpenes, or flavonoids that would qualify it as "full-spectrum").
Can my hemp product cause me to fail a drug test?
With the passage of Proposition 64, California's Adult Use of Marijuana Act in 2018, millions of employers (and employees) are asking the question, "what about drug testing in the workplace?" Employees who use CBD for pain, inflammation or various other reasons can now accidentally (and unfairly) fail a drug test.
The most common form of drug testing for employees is a urine test. Employers do not look for CBD in a drug test. CBD is non-psychoactive and non-intoxicating; it does not impair judgement or prohibit motor skills, balance or stability. When you fail a drug test, it is because your employers are screening for THC. This cycles back to the big question when it comes to conscience consumption: what's in my hemp product? Many companies have jumped on the "CBD only" bandwagon, marketing their products as "hemp-derived CBD with no THC." But without regulatory oversight, many products will contain THC in minor quantities. The low levels of THC found in many "hemp CBD" products can persist in the human body for weeks, and potentially result in failed drug tests. Mislabeling of THC content in the unregulated CBD market is common, as we found in our own investigation.

Diana: The unseen evidence which has been mysteriously ignored until now
by SUE REID
Last updated at 09:30 25 September 2007
Over English tea served in fine china cups at a sumptuous Paris apartment last November, an astonishing meeting took place to discuss the death of 36-year-old Diana, Princess of Wales.
The conversation was cordial. A butler carrying a teapot and tray of delicate sandwiches moved smoothly between the guests in the richly decorated drawing room of a building owned by the British Government, near the famous Champs Elysees.
In one Victorian armchair sat Lord Stevens, the respected former head of Scotland Yard. He had just finished a three-year investigation called Operation Paget into whether there was a conspiracy to murder the most famous woman in the world ten years ago and a cover-up to hide the truth.
The Princess was travelling with her Muslim lover Dodi Fayed in a Mercedes car when it smashed into the 13th column of the Pont D'Alma road tunnel in Paris at 12.23am on Sunday, August 31, 1997.
She was mortally injured, dying in hospital three-and-a-half hours later. Dodi was killed instantly, as was the driver of the car, Henri Paul.
Since that moment, the controversy over Princess Diana's death has not abated. There is a veritable conspiracy theory industry which claims the Princess was assassinated, some even say at the instigation of the Royal Family or the British intelligence services because she was pregnant with Dodi's baby.
The report of Lord Stevens is now published. It concludes that Diana died in a tragic road accident. The report was meant to provide the final, unequivocal chapter on her death and a factual framework for her inquest which will begin next Tuesday.
Yet, if anything, the debate over how and why the Princess came to die is fiercer than ever. At the epicentre of this brouhaha is Lord Stevens himself.
For in the Paris apartment last November, he met the parents of the Mercedes driver Henri Paul for the first time. The couple must have been apprehensive.
No one in the Diana saga has been more vilified than their 41-year-old son. Within 24 hours of the accident he was being blamed for driving "like a lunatic" through the tunnel while "drunk as a pig".
Nevertheless, Giselle and Jean Paul, in their 70s, had bravely made the journey from their home in Brittany, on the west coast of France, to hear exactly what Britain's most famous policeman had to say about their son.
Lord Stevens soon put their minds at rest. The couple had hardly sat down before the peer assured them that Henri Paul had not been drunk - indeed, he'd had only two drinks that night.
As the meeting finished on November 8, 2006, the couple shook hands with Lord Stevens and went off with their heads held high. "We were pleased to hear our son was innocent as we always believed," Mr Paul senior told the Mail this week.
Yet a little over a month later the world was to hear a very different account from Lord Stevens. The 832-page Operation Paget report, compiled by 14 Scotland Yard detectives at a cost of £3.7 million, was published on December 14, 2006.
It declared that Henri Paul was driving at double the speed limit - 60mph - and had consumed a very considerable amount of alcohol before ferrying Diana and Dodi in the Mercedes from the Ritz Hotel in Paris to a private flat, where they were staying.
The driver was twice over the British drink-drive limit and three times over the French one. An expert cited in the report estimated that Paul had sunk the equivalent of ten small glasses of Ricard, his favourite liquorice-flavoured French aperitif, before taking the wheel.
If he had survived, he would be liable to prosecution for causing death by dangerous driving. It was a damning indictment of the dead driver, conflicting sharply with the account given by Lord Stevens to Henri Paul's mother and father.
Now grief can do terrible things to people's minds and it is possible Henri Paul's parents misunderstood or misheard Lord Stevens. However, detailed and contemporaneous notes of the meeting by an Operation Paget police officer suggest that this was not the case.
So why did Lord Stevens appear to have such a massive change of heart in less than five weeks? Did the policeman nicknamed Captain Beaujolais because of his love of fine wines come under pressure to change the conclusions of Operation Paget? It seems implausible.
Yet this troubling question has been aired at the preliminary hearings, overseen by High Court judge Lord Justice Scott Baker, for the forthcoming inquest on Diana and her lover.
Controversially, the judge - acting as coroner - will now order the jury to entirely disregard the Operation Paget report. It is a slap in the face for Lord Stevens. The contents have been removed from an official website linked to the inquest.
Lord Justice Scott Baker insists that 20 vital questions on Diana's death - and possible murder - still have to be answered.
They cover such matters as: whether Henri Paul was drunk or taking drugs; the possible pregnancy of Diana and why she was embalmed on British Embassy orders just an hour before her body was flown home to London, a process nullifying any later tests on whether she was expecting a baby; the presence, if any, of the secret intelligence service, MI6, in the French capital on the night she died; and the enduring mystery of why the Princess feared for her life.
Significantly, the judge has ordered that hundreds of explosive background documents, witness statements and tape recordings garnered during his investigation must now be made available to the jury. Some were not even alluded to in the Operation Paget report.
The background files cover the most contentious allegations surrounding the Princess's death.
For instance, a tape recording of one unnamed informant claims that the Queen's Private Secretary, Robert Fellowes, who was also Diana's brother-in-law, was in the French capital an hour before the crash and was seen in the telecommunications room of the British Embassy. (For his part, he insists he was at home in Norfolk all night.)
Another piece of evidence, detailed in a sworn witness statement from an American man, states categorically that Diana told a close female friend that she was pregnant just before she died, although she never named the father.
The files also delve deep into the lifestyle of Henri Paul. To understand his pivotal role, one must return to the days following the Princess's death.
The world was aghast. Flowers were heaped in Hyde Park, London, outside her home at Kensington Palace. Ordinary men and women wept in the streets across the globe.
Over in Paris, there was grieving too. Yet there was also something strange afoot. Within hours, rumours began to circulate that the driver of the Mercedes had killed the Princess.
By the Monday morning of September 1 - little more than a day after the crash - the French newspaper and television were publishing reports that Henri Paul had consumed "grossly excessive quantities of alcohol" and the speedometer of the Mercedes had jammed at 121mph. None of these stories was denied by the authorities.
Indeed, the allegations grew more detailed. On September 9 there were reports that a search of Henri Paul's flat in Paris had revealed a veritable drinking den. Shelves were groaning with bottles of spirits and wine. Tables were littered with bottles of vodka, Martini and fortified wines, while the kitchen contained open bottles of Ricard and American bourbon.
The reports contradicted what is now known to be the truth. An inspection of Henri Paul's flat by the detectives of the French Brigade Criminale much earlier - 48 hours after the crash - had found only copious bottles of soda water and just one bottle of champagne and a bottle of Martini.
Nevertheless the story that Henri Paul, a deputy security chief at the Ritz Hotel in Paris who had stepped in at the last moment to drive the couple, was a hopeless alcoholic gained credence.
Conspiracy theorists ask was he deliberately turned into the scapegoat? Was the driver, suspected of being a paid informant of the French and British intelligence services, used to cover up a much more sinister set of events?
Almost every person who talked to Henri Paul that night has since confirmed that he did not appear intoxicated before he set off into the Paris night.
Furthermore, a crucial blood sample taken from Henri Paul's suit jacket after his death - and the only one that has been firmly linked to him by DNA testing on his mother Giselle - shows no measurable trace of alcohol in his body.
In addition, a carbohydrate deficient transferring test 'proving' he was an alcoholic and conducted by the French authorities on Henri Paul after his death has also been undermined. A CDT test, the inquest will be told, is unreliable if performed on a dead body.
Meanwhile, what of the clutch of blood samples taken from his body in the days after the crash. They, apparently, showed that Henri Paul was hopelessly drunk. But were they really his own?
Intriguingly, they contained a medicine called albendazole, which the driver's doctor said he was never prescribed. It is a drug taken to get rid of tapeworms and given to downandouts on the streets.
Could they have come from a dead Paris tramp lying in the public mortuary alongside Henri Paul?
Equally puzzling is that the same clutch of blood samples revealed no sign of another medicine named acamprosate, which Paul had been prescribed. It is the only solid piece of evidence that he was a heavy drinker.
The driver was worried about his love of Ricard and had begged his doctor to give him the drug, designed to help alcoholics reduce their intake without cravings.
Pertinently, his doctor has since said that he felt Paul was worrying unnecessarily, as his drinking was moderate.
There is another dilemma, too.
The Henri Paul blood samples at the very heart of the Diana controversy reveal something else quite bizarre - that he had breathed in a very high quantity of carbon monoxide before his death: the same amount as a person committing suicide by putting a rubber hose from the exhaust through the window of his car.
Such a level would have left Paul visibly disorientated and almost certainly comatose. Yet at the Ritz that evening, minutes before he drove Diana, the CCTV cameras show him walking normally and even kneeling down to retie his shoe laces and gracefully standing up again.
It is now accepted that he never drew breath after the crash, ruling out the possibility that he inhaled poisonous exhaust fumes. Significantly, Dodi's blood was tested and was shown to contain no carbon monoxide.
The tainted blood samples remain - as Lord Stevens and toxicology experts say in the Operation Paget report - a complete mystery. One possible explanation is that they are not the driver's blood at all but come from someone else in the public mortuary who had committed suicide that weekend.
So were the samples tampered with? Were they mistakenly, or deliberately, swopped with those from another corpse?
The first samples of blood taken from the driver's body were left unattended and unlabelled in a fridge at the mortuary for more than a day until Monday, September 1.
So what will happen next? Lord Stevens is to be called as a witness at the inquest. He will be asked by lawyers for Henri Paul's family about the 'gross discrepancy' between the soothing account he gave in the Paris apartment on their son and the one contained in the official Operation Paget report.
He is also likely to be quizzed on the plethora of evidence on Diana's death never included in his final report. Of particular concern is the testimony of a Paris jeweller, who sold Dodi an engagement ring on the day before the crash, sparking theories that the playboy was about to propose to Diana.
Of course, Diana might well have turned down any such marriage. But the jeweller, in a written complaint, says that he was pressured - unsuccessfully - by the Paget detectives to change his tale and say it was just a 'friendship' ring. There are other worrying matters too. The preliminary inquest hearings have revealed that important eyewitnesses of the crash - including those claiming there was a blinding flash in the tunnel and that they saw a mystery white Fiat Uno at the scene which may have deliberately clipped Diana and Dodi's Mercedes, causing the accident - were never interviewed by Lord Stevens' team.
Instead, his detectives relied heavily on old statements made years ago to the French police. Now Lord Justice Scott Baker has ruled that crash onlookers and other witnesses should give evidence via video links from Paris and in person at the London inquest. The jury will be taken to the accident site in the Alma tunnel in the French capital.
One important new witness will be a French fireman, Christophe Pelat. He discovered the body of a paparazzi photographer named James Andanson - thought by conspiracy theorists to have been driving the white Fiat Uno - in a remote woodland with a shot in the head three years after the crash.
It was always said that Andanson had committed suicide after marital problems.
The photographer amassed millions selling photographs of Diana and is suspected of tipping off British, American and French intelligence services on the Princess's movements during her last holiday.
Andanson gave conflicting accounts of his movements to French police. They concluded that he was not in Paris on the night of the crash, although he had chased the couple relentlessly as they cruised on Dodi's yacht the Jonikel in the days beforehand.
Why, one might ask, would he have stopped following her when there was still money to be made?
The evidence of Christophe Pelat is vital. It might indicate that Andanson knew the truth and was disposed of. Yet the fireman's name and testimony - just like those of many others - appeared nowhere in the Operation Paget report in what was billed as the definitive account on Diana's death.
Of course, all this must be somewhat discomforting for Lord Stevens. As a life peer and now an international security adviser to Gordon Brown, he moves in the upper echelons of society with a hitherto untarnished halo as a formidable investigator.
Meanwhile, Lord Justice Scott Baker faces the challenging task of guiding a jury through a monumentally complex inquest. For if the 12 men and women leave their verdict open - if there is no conclusion on the cause of the Princess's tragic death - there will have to be a police inquiry.
Yes, a second one. When will the spirit of Diana be allowed to rest?

Emilia Clarke 'sick and tired' of discussing nude scenes
Solenn Heussaff. Age: 28. Beautiful, well-groomed, stylish and bright nympho. I am ready to cheer up a passionate and hungry lover. Do you want to know my gorgeous body?
The year-old actress shed her clothes for her role as Daenerys Targaryen in the hit HBO fantasy drama series - which came to an end on Sunday Speaking about her decision to turn down a role in the 'Fifty Shades of Grey' franchise, she said: "Well, Sam [Taylor-Johnson, the director] is a magician. I love her, and I thought her vision was beautiful. But the last time that I was naked on camera on ['Game of Thrones'] was a long time ago, and yet it is the only question that I ever get asked because I am a woman. And it's annoying as hell and I'm sick and tired of it because I did it for the character - I didn't do it so some guy could check out my tits, for God's sake. Emilia says she's been "pigeonholed for life" thanks to the brief nude scene she filmed for 'Game of Thrones', and turned down the 'Fifty Shades' role - where she was in talks to star as Anastasia Steele, a role which eventually went to Dakota Johnson - because she didn't want to be asked about "sensuality and sex" for the rest of her career.

BATTLETECH (PC)
Written by Jason Gress
Turn Based Strategy
Developed By: Harebrained Schemes
Published By: Paradox Interactive
Available On: Windows, macOS, Linux coming soon
Genre: Turn-based Strategy
Mode: Primarily singleplayer, with a multiplayer mode also
Thank you Paradox Interactive for sending us this game to review!
In high school, I had a very good friend and his older brother who introduced me to the board game BattleTech. I clearly remember the hexagonal map laid out on the table with trees, lakes, buildings and other environmental obstacles, as well as the intricately painted robotic giants. I also remember creating mechs with various loadouts including ER PPCs, Large Lasers, and other powerful weaponry as I rolled the dice to calculate hit locations and damage totals. It was a lot of fun back then and I haven't had a chance to do anything like it since, until now.
Much of the BattleTech lore books are written from 3050 and onwards, while this game takes place in and around 3025. You and your mercenary Lance are quickly pulled into a conflict of factions where you choose to help a friend and fellow student of your mentor, who is the rightful heir to the throne. When her father dies, her uncle quickly steps in, seizes power, and attempts to take the princess's life. With your help, she barely escapes. When the time is right, she starts a war to regain her kingdom and you and your Lance become her ace in the hole.
In BATTLETECH, there is a ship mode in which you prepare for your missions and a battlefield mode where combat takes place. You get to manage many aspects of your mercenary Lance including which pilots to hire, how to fit and arm them, and prepare your MechWarriors (pilots), as well as various ship upgrades. You can also take your ship to many different star systems where you can look for new contracts to work as a mercenary-for-hire. The jobs themselves vary from helping out a local government to assisting pirates in their dirty work. As you gain victory in combat you will often recover salvage which can lead to gaining bigger and better mechs.
Strong Points: Excellent representation of the classic BattleTech board game; very nice graphics and sound; very engaging 'one more turn' gameplay
Weak Points: Can be too slow-paced for some; performance could be better; I ran into a game-crashing bug until I determined that G-Sync for windowed-mode applications was the cause
Moral Warnings: 'They' offered as a gender identity; most common curse words used, including '*ss', 'sh*t', 'd*mn', and 'hell'; references to 'gods' and skinny dipping
On the battlefield, rather than a direct hex-grid conversion of the tabletop game, this does much better - you directly move to various points on the map and fight other enemy units on the field in a turn-based fashion. When you create your character, you give them a background which has a small impact on the story. You create them as a 'he', a 'she', or a non-conforming 'they'. Your Lance has up to four members, while your enemy can sometimes vastly outnumber you. It takes careful environmental, weapons, ammunition, and heat management in order to be successful.
BattleMechs typically range in weight from 20-100 tons. The armor, firepower, and movement range of each mech type can vary drastically. While there is conceivably a place on the battlefield for light mechs in the 20-40 ton range, in reality once you get heavy mechs, you don't go back. Each weapon, from Long-Range Missiles (LRMs) to Auto-Cannons (ACs) to Lasers all require precious tons to equip on your mech. And let's face it: firepower is king. And assault mechs in the 80-100 ton range carry lots and lots of guns.
Combat itself is typically broken up into two phases per turn. The first is the movement phase, during which you can move, sprint, or use your jump jets. Not every mech has jump jets, especially since they cost precious tons and generate heat. But they can be quite handy, as you can go up or down steep inclines or jump over obstacles for a potentially massive tactical advantage. When you sprint, you can go nearly twice as far, but doing so takes up the second combat phase, which is the action phase.
During the action phase the most common one is most certainly attack. But it's not alone. You can do a melee attack, brace for impact, or do a precision shot. Brace for impact is handy because it lowers received damage by half from the front and sides. The precision shot costs morale, which is something you earn by defeating enemies. But the benefit of this is that you can target any part of the enemy unit in which the strikes will hit. Destroying an enemy mech is accomplished in one of three ways: killing the pilot, destroying the center torso, or immobilizing it. Getting a powerful enough shot to the head is extremely fatal - but is also extremely unlikely. Knocking out both legs can often work quite well and has the added bonus of usually offering extra salvage. I find precision shots to the center torso as the most effective way of shutting down an enemy BattleMech as quickly as possible.
On the ship, you can allocate experience points to skills for each of your MechWarriors. As they level up skills, you can choose to specialize them in various areas. These areas are Gunnery, Piloting, Guts, and Tactics. Most of the combat bonuses are passive, but notable active skills are multi-target and sensor lock. Multi-target allows you to hit up to three enemies at once, while sensor lock grants your teammates the ability to attack far away targets, as well as makes them easier to hit. It's not uncommon for a faster mech to act as a scout with sensor lock while the rest of the Lance pelts them with LRMs.
Visually, BATTLETECH is a fun game to watch. It looks nice with good details, and the sound effects when things explode are also well done. The voice acting is rare, but all that is there sounds great. It does look much better on high settings, but it scales down to work fairly well, even on lower-end hardware. I played BATTLETECH perfectly well on both my high-end gaming systems maxed out, and on my GPD Win 2 with all settings on low. The cutscenes are drawn rather than rendered and look fantastic.
BATTLETECH takes place in a universe full of violence, death, and betrayal. Blood is shown in some cutscenes, but most of the game lacks any. When fighting other MechWarriors, it is a fight to the death. Your pilots can and will die, and managing their health is an important part of the game. Curse words like '*ss', 'sh*t', 'd*mn', and 'hell' are present in the game, as well as 'gods'. Most of the violence is in the form of robotic limbs being destroyed or falling off. Death of enemy MechWarriors is common and a fact of life. There is also a reference to crew members skinny dipping in the pool.
As soon as I found out that the BattleTech board game was getting a proper PC adaptation, I leapt at the chance to review it, and I'm glad I did. While a bit slow paced at times, BATTLETECH is a blast to play and most definitely worth your time. Multiplayer is still active also, which is great to see. I wouldn't give it to children because of the language, but I can heartily recommend it to others.

Body Clock Disruptions Can Increase Mental Health Risks Study Shows
By Jen
If you've been neglecting your night's sleep, it could be having a bigger impact on your wellbeing than you thought.
Disruptions to your body clock increases the risk of depression and mood disorders, a large study has found.
Your body clock has a huge influence on your body with your mood, hormone levels, body temperature and metabolism all fluctuating in a daily rhythm.
Scientists from the University of Glasgow looked at these rhythms in 90,000 people in an effort to measure how disruptions to their body clocks were effecting their mood.
People with lower daily rest-activity rhythms (being active at night and inactive during the day) were found to be at greater risk of several adverse mental health outcomes even when factors like sex, lifestyle, age and previous childhood were taken into account.
Things like using mobile phones late at night or waking in the early hours to make a cup of tea were among the bad habits that contribute to "poor sleep hygiene", Daniel Smith, senior author of the paper, told The Times.
"But it's not just what you do at night, it's what you do during the day - trying to be active during the day and inactive in darkness," he said.
"Especially in the winter, making sure you get out in the morning in the fresh air is just as important in getting a good night's sleep as not being on your mobile phone.
The team found a "robust association" between disruption of circadian rhythms and mood disorders.
Dr Laura Lyall, the study's lead author, said, "previous studies have identified associations between disrupted circadian rhythms and poor mental health, but these were on relatively small samples."
The study, published in The Lancet Psychiatry, also found that low relative amplitude was also linked to low subjective rating of happiness and health satisfaction.

TrendingThe Fourth Qantas Dreamliner Celebrates Indigenous Art
The Fourth Qantas Dreamliner Celebrates Indigenous Art
By Kate Barracosa - Writer
Warning: This webpage includes names of deceased people that may cause sadness or distress to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.
Count them – there are almost 5000 dots carefully painted onto this plane.
The newest Qantas Dreamliner features a stunning livery based on the painting Yam Dreaming by the late Northern Territory artist Emily Kame Kngwarreye. The Dreamliner has also been named after the acclaimed Anmatyerre woman, who was born in 1910 and produced more than 3000 works over her life.
With its mesmerising swirls and rich reds and ochres, the artwork represents the yam plant, a culturally important Dreaming symbol and food source in Kngwarreye's homeland of Utopia, north-east of Alice Springs.
The work was adapted by Indigenous-owned design studio Balarinji and transformed to fit the contours of the aircraft. It took 60 graphic designers, engineers and painters 10 days to install the design onto its surface.
The colour of the tail has been matched to the artwork – only the second time in Qantas's history that the flying kangaroo motif has been altered to fit a design.
"As the national carrier we're thrilled to showcase another piece of Indigenous culture on one of our aircraft and to reiterate our ongoing commitment to reconciliation with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people," said Qantas Group CEO Alan Joyce.
This is the fifth aircraft in the Qantas fleet to feature an Indigenous artwork.
The plane, currently receiving its finishing touches at the Boeing factory in Seattle, will fly to Alice Springs on 2 March.
It will then join the other Boeing 787-9 Dreamliners Great Southern Land, Waltzing Matilda and Quokka on new international routes.

The 31 Leicester City players in Evian – and the 14 who are missing
Brendan Rodgers has taken his squad to a pre-season training camp in France

Leicester City have taken a 31-man squad to their pre-season training camp in Evian.
City are now midway through their week at the resort on Lake Geneva, with manager Brendan Rodgers and his staff putting the players through their paces before pre-season matches start next week.
Included in the squad in Evian are the three new signings – James Justin, Ayoze Perez and Youri Tielemans – and nine players from the development squad.
Most of the players returned to pre-season training at Belvoir Drive last Monday, but for the club's international stars, including Kasper Schmeichel, Ben Chilwell and Harry Maguire, the camp in Evian is their first full week of pre-season.
Here's a look at the squad at City's camp.
City have taken a goalkeeping quintet to the Alps.
Having represented Denmark and Wales respectively in Euro 2020 qualifiers in early June, Kasper Schmeichel and Danny Ward were given an extra week's rest but they are now back in the squad, along with fellow senior stopper Eldin Jakupovic.
Harry Maguire reminded of Leicester City's 'good project' amid Manchester United interest
Despite representing Denmark at the Under-21 Euros in mid-June, Daniel Iversen is already back and could be loaned out again this season, with Rotherham keen to take him after his fine spell at Oldham last term.
Completing the line-up is Viktor Johansson, who is included on a senior pre-season trip for the first time after his impressive showings for City's Under-23s.
City have options galore at full-back in France.
Player of the season Ricardo Pereira is there and has a new right-back understudy in £6m recruit James Justin.
Daniel Amartey, who has not played a competitive match since breaking his ankle last October, is now fit enough to turn out in full training and will be keen to show Rodgers what he can do.

On the other flank, Ben Chilwell is now back with the squad after he was afforded an extended break for his England exploits, while Christian Fuchs is beginning possibly his final year at the club.
Also present are Callum Elder, who finished last season on loan at Ipswich, and Calvin Ughelumba, an attacking full-back who took on left-back duties for the Under-23s after Elder moved to Suffolk.
Skipper Wes Morgan could be starting his final season as a City player and he is joined by a trio of centre-halves back from international duty.
Jonny Evans and Caglar Soyuncu, who turned out for Northern Ireland and Turkey in Euro 2020 qualifiers, have joined up with their team-mates while England international Harry Maguire is also back in action with his future, and a potential move to Manchester United, one of the summer's hot topics.

Josh Knight, who showed his qualities on loan at Peterborough for the second half of last season, is also in Evian.
Central midfielders
To the joy of the City players, Youri Tielemans has returned to the club on a permanent deal and the record signing is one of five central midfielders out in Evian.
Papy Mendy, who is yet to start under Rodgers, is there too, along with long-serving duo Matty James and Andy King. Neither James, who is fully fit after injury ruled him out of last season, nor King have yet featured under the new City manager.

Khanya Leshabela, who can play centrally or out wide and who competed for South Africa at the Under-20 World Cup over the summer, is also out in France. He is yet to make his City debut, but was an unused substitute for the Carabao Cup tie against Southampton last season.
Of the four wingers out in Evian, only Marc Albrighton is likely to be in the first-team squad come the start of the campaign.
Albrighton is joined by Rachid Ghezzal, whose future is in doubt with City chasing another winger, as well as Under-23 pair George Thomas and Layton Ndukwu.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's Manchester United transfer promise puts doubt on Harry Maguire pursuit
Wales international Thomas was on loan at Scunthorpe last season, and is expected to leave on a temporary deal again, while Ndukwu, who featured in pre-season last summer, may look to get his first shot at senior football on loan this term.
Representing England at the 2018 World Cup meant Jamie Vardy did not play a single minute of pre-season matches last summer, but the star striker will undergo a full programme this time around.
Vardy is joined in Evian by Kelechi Iheanacho, who will look to build his confidence after a disappointing finish to the campaign, and new recruit Ayoze Perez, whose versatility could see him employed in a number of forward positions.

Two Under-23 forwards also flew to the Alps: Admiral Muskwe, who just missed out on Zimbabwe's final Africa Cup of Nations squad; and George Hirst, who joined City this summer after a season at sister club OH Leuven.
Who is missing and why?
We have counted 14 notable absentees from the trip, with players missing for a variety of reasons.
Six are still on their holiday after competing at the European Under-21 Championships, including England quartet James Maddison, Hamza Choudhury, Demarai Gray and Harvey Barnes, who could all play big roles this season.
Filip Benkovic, who knows Rodgers well after playing under the Northern Irishman at Celtic, turned out for Croatia at the Euros but finished the tournament with an injury, the extent of which is unknown.

Alex Pascanu was City's top performer in Italy, helping Romania reach the semi-finals, and his impressive performances for the Under-23s and internationally could have seen him promoted to the pre-season travelling party this summer.
Bartosz Kapustka would have been representing Poland at the Euros but a knee ligament injury suffered in March ruled him out. While his rehabilitation is going well, the winger has been excluded from the trip.
Wilfred Ndidi and Islam Slimani are both still on international duty, reaching the quarter-finals of the Africa Cup of Nations with Nigeria and Algeria respectively, so they will not return for some time.

While Fousseni Diabate and Adrien Silva did not compete internationally this summer, their loan spells at Sivasspor and Monaco concluded a fortnight after City's Premier League campaign finished, so they are expected to be back at the start of next week.
Young centre-halves Darnell Johnson, Sam Hughes and Elliott Moore have all been included in senior squads before, but have not travelled this time around.

Shannon Butcher is quickly becoming a favourite on the Canadian jazz scene for her dynamic voice and fresh spirit. "Jazz isn't about one label or style; it's not about one person or time," says Butcher. "It's about the freedom to bring together all of your experiences; sing in the moment and connect with your audience." Shannon's debut CD, Words We Both Could Say, is a fusion of styles and an open door invitation to transcend expectations. Through her unique jazz transformations of "standards" from artists including the Beatles, Patsy Cline and No Doubt, the Toronto artist has connected with jazz aficionados and new listeners alike. Since its release, Words We Both Could Say has reached the 2 spot on the Canadian Campus Jazz chart and broke through the Top Ten of iTunes Top Jazz Albums. Thanks to her Internet presence Shannon has become a hit on jazz stations in Australia, the United Kingdom and the United States. Closer to home, the album has become a regular spin on CBC, Rochester's Jazz90.1 and Toronto's JazzFM91.

Q: Is anyone using Babel/6-to-5 in a production Rails app? The benefits of using ES6 for Rails frontend are very attractive.
I've made a topic branch in our Rails app that uses babel to transpile ES6 to ES5 via the asset pipeline. It works well, but as always I am weary of technical debt. Is there anyone that has good/bad reports of using such a system in production?

A: There is a growing list of users, some are detailed in this issue
Where possible babel tries to provide the most performant polyfill for ES6 features and this is backed up by their test suite. However, for some of the problems there are often more performant es5 solutions available, at the expense of code clarity, speed of code production etc etc.
In general though, I guess it would be up to your own apps performance testing to dictate whether any lack of performance (if any) is outweighed by speed and ease of development and maintenance.
I've only ever used in it simple to intermediate complexity programs (in Node and in the Browser) and never witnessed any performance problems or had any issues updating babel (I may have been lucky with this though). I've used it for stuff like dashboards, filterable lists, data management stuff, other little bits and pieces such as React components. None of it outrageously complex though.
I guess the other thing that might be of use to you is to note that the project lead is incredibly active, the project is moving at breakneck speed and issue responses on both github and gitter are quick and informative.

Pertussis (whooping cough) can cause serious illness in babies, children, teens, and adults. Symptoms of pertussis usually develop within 5 to 10 days after you are exposed. Sometimes pertussis symptoms do not develop for as long as 3 weeks.
The disease usually starts with cold-like symptoms and maybe a mild cough or fever. In babies, the cough can be minimal or not even there. Babies may have a symptom known as "apnea." Apnea is a pause in the child's breathing pattern. Pertussis is most dangerous for babies. About half of babies younger than 1 year who get the disease need care in the hospital. Learn more about pertussis complications.
Pertussis in its early stages appears to be nothing more than the common cold. Therefore, healthcare professionals often do not suspect or diagnose it until the more severe symptoms appear.
It is important to know that many babies with pertussis don't cough at all. Instead it causes them to stop breathing and turn blue.
The "whoop" is often not there if you have milder (less serious) disease. The infection is generally milder in teens and adults, especially those who have gotten the pertussis vaccine.
Recovery from pertussis can happen slowly. The cough becomes milder and less common. However, coughing fits can return with other respiratory infections for many months after the pertussis infection started.

Q: Unity, How to repeat while touching button This is my current code,
using UnityEngine;
using UnityEngine.InputSystem;

public class Playercontroller : MonoBehaviour
{
        public void Moveleft()
        {
            if (transform.localPosition.x >= -4) {
                this.transform.Translate(new Vector3(-4f, 0f, 0f) * Time.deltaTime, Space.Self);}
        }

        {
            if (transform.localPosition.x >= 4) {
                this.transform.Translate(new Vector3(4f, 0f, 0f) * Time.deltaTime, Space.Self); }
        }
}

I have it hooked up to a UI Button in the Editor, except when I click the button the object (understandably) only moves ones, how can I have it repeat for as long as I am holding the button? So when I hold the button (eventually on a touchscreen) the object slowly moves to the left/right.
I'm quite new to Unity, but couldn't directly find an answer anywhere on this.

Resources and population served: a description of the Ontario Paediatric Diabetes Network
Shulman R, Miller FA, Stukel TA, Daneman D, Guttmann A. CMAJ Open. 2016; 4(2):E141-6.
Background — The Network of Ontario Pediatric Diabetes Programs was established in 2001 to provide access to specialized pediatric diabetes care. Universal funding for pediatric insulin pump therapy has been available in Ontario since 2006. The objective of this study was to describe the distribution of patients, resources and insulin pump use across centres within the network, now called the Ontario Paediatric Diabetes Network.
Methods — We conducted a cross-sectional survey in 2012 of the 35 pediatric diabetes centres in Ontario to measure centre characteristics, patient volume and available clinical and social resources. We used health administrative data from the provincial Assistive Devices Program to describe patients aged 18 years or less using insulin pumps by centre as a measure of technology uptake.
Results — All 35 centres participated, reporting a total of 6676 children with type 1 diabetes and 368 with type 2 diabetes. Most (> 80%) children with type 1 diabetes were followed at tertiary (n = 5) or large community (n = 14) centres. Nursing patient load was similar between centre types, but there was a large range across centres within any type. Overall, percent insulin pump use was 38.1% and varied widely across centres (5.3%-66.7%). Funded 24-hour support for pump users was available at 5 (36%) small community centres, 3 (19%) large community centres and 2 (40%) tertiary centres.
Interpretation — Our study showed differences in access to specialized and after-hours care for children with diabetes in Ontario. Pump use varied widely across centres. Further research is needed to assess the impact of these observed differences on quality of care and outcomes.

St Katharine's, (dedicated to Katharine of Egypt, Saint and Martyr) was built of local stone in 1867, although services had been held as early as 1825 by the Revd Francis McCleland, Colonial Chaplain stationed in Port Elizabeth. The Revd Philip Copeman was appointed to Uitenhage in 1847, but it was only when the Revd William Llewellyn arrived in 1856 that the congregation grew large enough to justify the building of the church. A feature of the church in Uitenhage down the years has been the ecumenical outreach, fostered by the Anglican priests. A total of 41 clerics in holy orders have been associated with the parish. The Church Hall proved to be too small to cope with the growing parish, and a new complex, referred to as "The Abundant Life Centre", was built recently to make ample provision for any future growth.
