Justin Trudeau sues the University of North Texas for discrimination after being investigated over sexual harassment
By Skipper
Justin Trudeau is suing the University of North Texas claiming he was treated unfairly during an investigation into sexual harassment allegations from three female students.
Trudeau works as a communications professor at the college in Denton, Texas, and has done since 2005. He claims to have had an unblemished record until December 2017 when three students reported him for alleged sexual harassment.
They claimed, among other things, that he called their performances of scenes from an erotic book 'hot' and that he offered one female student an A if she 'convinced other students to perform in a sexual manner on stage'.

University of North Texas Sees Record Enrollment This Fall
The University of North Texas –- like the region it is named for -– is growing quickly.
There are now 39,330 UNT undergraduate and graduate students enrolled, which is the most ever. That enrollment figure represents a 3% increase from the 2018-2019 academic year, according to figures from the university.
In addition to overall enrollment being up, UNT also touts its largest-ever freshman class this fall. A record 5,522 freshman are on campus, which is an increase of 15.3% in "first time college students at the university," according to a UNT news release.
And the University of North Texas is also retaining more of its students than ever before. This fall nearly 80% of last year's freshman class returned to UNT, according to enrollment data, which is an increase of 1.6% over the fall of 2018.

UNT and NFL legend Joe Greene returns to campus Saturday to celebrate new residence hall bearing his name
What: Joe Greene Hall Dedication (tours will be available after the ceremony)
When: 3:30 p.m. Aug. 31 (Saturday)
Who: NFL Hall of Famer Joe Greene, UNT President Neal Smatresk, UNT Vice President of Student Affairs Elizabeth With and student residents of Joe Greene Hall
Where: 800 Avenue A in Denton (intersection of Eagle Drive and Avenue A)
**Free parking is available in the Highland Street Garage at the corner of Highland Street and Avenue A.**
Background: The 500-bed residence hall features pod-style student communities made up of four to nine sleeping rooms with centralized social and restroom spaces in each pod. The concept is designed to give students more privacy and give them shared social space outside of their rooms to study, play games and watch television. Other amenities in the new residence hall include practice rooms for musicians, study lounges and a full kitchen.
The university announced in May that it would be naming the residence hall after one of its most iconic figures. At the time, President Neal Smatresk noted Greene's impact on the university went well beyond his prowess on the football field. Greene also was the first African American to serve on the UNT System Board of Regents and has continued to be a valued Mean Green supporter and ambassador for the university throughout his life.
Unquestionably the greatest football player in UNT history, Greene also is one of the greatest defensive tackles in NFL history. The first UNT player selected in the first round of the NFL draft, Greene played 13 seasons with the Pittsburgh Steelers, becoming the cornerstone of the famous "Steel Curtain" defense and winning four Super Bowls. The NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year in 1969, Greene went on to earn 10 Pro Bowl invitations and two Defensive Player of the Year honors. He was enshrined in the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1987, and his No. 75 was retired by the Steelers in 2014, only the second number ever retired by the franchise.
At UNT, Greene was named a Distinguished Alumnus in 1976, was a member of the first class of the Athletics Hall of Fame in 1981, and served as a UNT System Regent from 1983 to 1987.
Joe Greene Hall was part of a $58.9 million project that also included the new UNT Welcome Center, which opened earlier this year.

Q: tidymodels how to set priors for a Naive Bayes model I want to train a model with a Naive Bayes classifier using the tidymodels framework.
Tidymodels uses the discrim packages, which itself uses the klaR package to estimate Naive Bayes models.
Specifying a NB model in the tidymodels framework can be done with e.g.:
naive_Bayes(
  mode = "classification",
  engine = "klaR",
  smoothness = NULL,
  Laplace = NULL)

When checking the original NB function in the klaR package, though, it has an argument:

prior
the prior probabilities of class membership. If unspecified,
the class proportions for the training set are used. If present, the
probabilities should be specified in the order of the factor levels.

Problem is, I didn't find a way yet to specify these priors in a tidymodel pipeline. Adding the prior parameter just to the naive_Bayes function shown above, doesn't work and throws an error:
Error in naive_Bayes(prior = rep(0.2, 5)) :
  unused argument (prior = rep(0.2, 5))

Any idea where I can make the parameter settings?

A: You can set this model parameter as an engine argument:
library(discrim)
#> Loading required package: parsnip

parabolic_prior <- runif(n = 500)

klar_mod <-
    naive_Bayes() %>%
    set_engine("klaR", prior = parabolic_prior)

translate(klar_mod)
#> Naive Bayes Model Specification (classification)
#>
#> Engine-Specific Arguments:
#>   prior = parabolic_prior
#>
#> Computational engine: klaR
#>
#> Model fit template:
#> discrim::klar_bayes_wrapper(x = missing_arg(), y = missing_arg(),
#>     prior = parabolic_prior, usekernel = TRUE)

klar_fit <- fit(klar_mod, class ~ ., data = parabolic)

Biomass or energy wood harvesting can be integrated with conventional log harvesting (saw log or pulpwood production) to allow more cost-effective energy wood supply. The efficiency of an integrated energy wood harvesting system was evaluated and compared with conventional log harvesting in a 32-year-old Pinus radiata plantation (radiata pine) located in south-west Western Australia. The harvesting system consisted of a harvester and a forwarder. The study included two treatments: a conventional log-harvesting operation where merchantable sawlogs and pulp logs were produced at the stump by the harvester and extracted by the forwarder; and an integrated energy wood operation where the harvester produced sawlogs, pulp logs and energy wood at the stump that were extracted by the forwarder. In the integrated energy wood harvesting plot, 37 m3 ha-1 of energy wood was extracted in addition to the sawlog and pulp log volumes. Extracting the additional energy wood reduced the productivity of the forwarder and increased the cost of extraction (AU$2.7 m-3) compared with the control plot (AU$2.2 m-3). Harvesting system cost was not significantly impacted, with a cost of AU$3.18 m-3 in the control plot and AU$3.23 m-3 in the integrated energy wood harvesting plot. Diameter at breast height (DBH) was a significant factor influencing the working time of the harvester, whereas load volume, extraction distance and extraction type (sawlog, pulp logs, and pulp log/ energy wood) significantly impacted forwarding time. Increasing DBH resulted in longer working cycles for the harvester. Heavier loads and longer forwarding distances increased forwarding cycle time, while extracting sawlogs was least expensive and energy wood extraction was the most expensive. The marginal cost of the energy wood was approximately AU$10.2 m-3 (AU$7.0 extraction and AU$3.2 harvesting), which is about double the cost of the sawlogs. Additional material recovered in the integrated energy wood plot resulted in less residual residues on the plot (103.2 green metric tonnes per hectare [GMt ha-1]) than the control plot (144.2 GMt ha-1).

1515 First Jan 2016 Plant Biosecurity and Product Integrity
Pink gypsy moth (Lymantria mathura) is an exotic plant pest not present in Australia. This pest is a serious threat to Australia's forestry and various horticultural industries.
Pink gypsy moth, also known as rosy gypsy moth, belongs to the Lymantria genus of moths, generally known as gypsy moths. A number of Lymantria species, including pink gypsy moth, are considered serious pests of forestry industries worldwide.
In countries where pink gypsy moth is established, the species undergoes periodic outbreaks, roughly every four years, causing significant damage to forests.
Pink gypsy moth (Lymantria mathura) is not a notifiable plant pest in NSW.
However, if you suspect pink gypsy moth:
Call the Exotic Plant Pest Hotline 1800 084 881
Email biosecurity@dpi.nsw.gov.au with a clear photo and your contact details
Male and female pink gypsy moths are different in appearance. The males are smaller with a wingspan of 40–50 mm. The male forewings are beige with dark-brown markings and the hind wings are yellowish.
The females are larger than the males with a wingspan of 70–90 mm. The females are light beige and markings on the wings are less prominent than on the males. The female hind wings and top half of the abdomen have a pinkish or rosy appearance, giving the moth its name.
Pink gypsy moth larvae are hairy and grow to 60 mm long. They have one pair of long, thick hairs at the head and 2–3 pairs at the tail.
Mature larvae vary in colour from ash grey with transverse yellow bands on the thorax to brown with a double row of orange spots (Figure 2).
Eggs are spherical and 1 mm in size, deposited in masses in bark crevices. The egg masses are covered by transparent froth-like secretions, not by female hairs as is common with other Lymantria species.
Larval feeding damage on host plant leaves is the most obvious symptom of pink gypsy moth attack. Feeding damage appears as holes in the leaves or irregular leaf margins. As larvae grow, whole leaves may be consumed. Each larva consumes about 1m2 of leaves in its life time.
At low levels, the larvae do not impact on the general health of trees, but at outbreak levels they can completely defoliate trees.
Large, eruptive populations of pink gypsy moth can occur in cycles every few years. Stress associated with feeding damage can result in reductions in tree growth, dieback and tree death. Tree death is often associated with other insects and pathogens that attack the stressed trees.
Pink gypsy moth larvae emerge at the end of spring after overwintering as egg masses. Newly hatched larvae generally remain on the egg masses for several days before climbing into branches to feed.
Larvae undergo six development stages while continuing to feed. Pupation occurs in the middle of summer on leaves and branches.
Adults emerge over the end of summer and beginning of autumn. Females generally produce a number of egg masses from one mating event totalling 150–600 eggs. Eggs are deposited in masses of about 200 eggs bark crevices. Adult moths do not feed and live for less than a week.
Generally one generation is seen per year but the number can vary depending on location. For example, in India, pink gypsy moth has two generations per year. The larvae are active in the middle of spring and again during the mid-summer monsoon season.
Host range
Pink gypsy moth is primarily a significant pest of timber production, including Pinus species.
In addition to Pinus species, other commercial plant commodities that host pink gypsy moth include apple, chestnut, mango, lychee and walnut.
Other ornamental and environmental tree hosts of pink gypsy moth include birch, douglas fir, elm, fir, larch, oak and willow.
Pink gypsy moths are dispersed naturally either by adults flying or, more commonly, by wind dispersal of young larvae on silk webbing. Larvae move into the branches of a tree, spin a thread of silk and suspend themselves from the threads which eventually break. The larva is then carried by the wind. While most larvae will not move more than 200 metres, some are reported to travel several kilometres.
Long distance dispersal of pink gypsy moth can occur with the movement of plant material infested with eggs or larvae, or on packaging and vessels. Adults are readily attracted to lights and egg masses have been detected on ships and shipping containers in Europe.
Pink gypsy moth is widespread in eastern and Central Asia.
Actions to minimise risk
Put in place biosecurity best practice actions to prevent entry, establishment and spread of pests and diseases:
practice "Come clean, Go clean"
ensure all staff and visitors are instructed in and adhere to your business management hygiene requirements
source propagation material of a known high health status from reputable suppliers
keep records


A week later she and Quinn arrived a little early for their first day on the job. The Westall Holdings office reception was well appointed, with a large front desk staffed by a professional-looking young man dressed business casual. They'd been given instructions to dress similarly; seemed to be the culture at this place. David usually wore a suit, Jo knew, but he was much farther up the company ladder than they were.
The young man acknowledged them with a nod as they entered, and with another, directed them to a couch that looked like it had been bought for appearance rather than comfort. Sitting in it confirmed that impression; she hoped they wouldn't have to use it too long.
The rest of the place looked similar; everything seemed designed to look good at a glance, but didn't invite you to stay for long. She found herself on the edge of her seat, partly out of a subconscious desire to get moving, and partly because it was actually more comfortable than trying to relax in it would be.
A little more than five minutes later, the young man apparently received a signal. "Quintrell Hickson? If you'll come this way, sir." Quinn looked at her in surprise; they'd been under the impression they'd been hired to do the same type of work. "Josie Rush? Your contact is on his way down to greet you," he continued while Quinn got himself up off the chair to go.
"I'll catch up with you in a bit then, I guess," Jo said to Quinn when he looked back.
"Sure thing! Try not to climb the walls," he called back as they vanished out a door to the interior of the building.


World Water Day 2019 was observed on 22 March with the theme 'Leaving no one behind'. The World Water Day 2019 encourages people to focus towards marginalized groups as these are often overlooked and discriminated against when they try to access safe water.
The theme 'Leaving no one behind' underscores the motto of 'water for all' which aims to ensure all including elderly, disabled, marginalized and poor people get access to clean drinking water and proper sanitation, as enshrined under Sustainable Development Goals.

Sceptre Award for Axis
Company News, Front-of-House/Security, EMEA, Retail, Service Provider News
Axis Security's team at Mercury Mall in Romford has been named 'Security Team of the Year' at the Sceptre Awards.
The annual awards celebrate best practices and people within the UK's shopping centre industry and attract thousands of entries.
Mall manager, Spencer Hawken, credits the Axis team with maintaining a safe and welcoming environment for its elderly demographic and teenagers visiting at the weekend. "The Mercury security team is a welcoming presence in Romford", he says. "As knife crime moves East from London into our quiet suburb, we need to be vigilantly creating a safe environment.
"Thanks to our team's dedication, we have been able to avoid the problems suffered by neighbouring areas.
"In addition to traditional security duties, the team takes an active role in our community. Officers have helped to set up and run a quarterly gaming league for teenagers, giving the officers an opportunity to show that they are approachable, that they are a friend, and not a threat to this vulnerable demographic."
Since 2018, the number of reported incidents of anti-social behaviour on the site have fallen by 19 per cent, with the number of recorded assaults falling even more significantly by 47 per cent.
Innovations introduced by the team have included customer service, autism awareness and dementia training which, Spencer says, have resulted in the site receiving an autism friendly award and "undoubtedly contributes to the security team being the town's most approachable and visible centre security team."
The shopping centre also reports tenants are appreciative of the security team's active approach in supporting the wider community, with managers sitting on town 'crime' consortiums and working closely with the borough council's 'Safe and Sound' initiative to improve security links.
David Mundell, Axis Security managing director, adds:
"We have a highly professional and approachable team who are delighted to see their hard work recognised and held up as the best in the shopping centre industry.
"Their ongoing contribution to the community and approach to zero tolerance on anti-social behaviour is making a real difference to the people who visit and work in the shopping centre."

The zero hour is coming
By Peter GorrieSpecial to the Star
Sat., Jan. 3, 2009timer6 min. read
At the start of a financially challenged 2009 one word dominates: "Stimulus" has become the desperate mantra as a fractured world agrees on the need to inject cash and credit into the bed-ridden economy.
Many governments have taken unprecedented stimulative measures and promise more.
In Ottawa the opposition "coalition" threatened to overthrow the Conservative government for not following suit. Prime Minister Stephen Harper, desperate to evade defeat, is negotiating a "stimulus" budget with the Liberals.
During the holiday shopping season, Premier Dalton McGuinty exhorted Ontarians to contribute their own stimulus by hitting malls and car showrooms. He didn't urge us to buy things because we need them: The aim is to save jobs, profits and tax revenues.
His advice was predictable: It is common, unshakeable wisdom that a healthy economy must expand. The mere suggestion of the oxymoronic "negative growth" is grounds for dismay; panic ensues if it persists for six months – officially a recession.
We don' t appear to mind that the definition of recession is based on gross domestic product, which simply totals the supposed value of all the goods and services a country produces and ignores a wide array of social and ecological costs.
Even many environmentalists trumpet growth, cloaking it in green. With clean, efficient, carbon-free technologies, they say, we can have more of everything and keep the planet habitable.
One recent example was a "groundbreaking" study by the Pembina Institute and David Suzuki Foundation. It claimed that within 12 years Canada could cut its greenhouse gas emissions to 25 per cent below 1990 levels and still expand its economy by 20 per cent and create 1.2 million jobs.
Researchers at the highly respected Potsdam Institute, in Germany, calculate annual growth at 2.5 per cent in their models of the steps required to prevent runaway climate change. They insist on expansion even though it would require massive use of techniques such as carbon capture and storage – grabbing carbon dioxide from smokestacks and burying it underground – that, they say in private, they don't actually trust. The pressure to accept growth is just too great to resist.
But some impressive thinkers argue we need to contemplate something different. They say not only that Earth won't sustain relentless expansion – since we're consuming its limited natural resources far faster than they can be replenished – but also that we'd be better off in a steadier state.
It's a small, disparate band of economists, philosophers and ecologists that dares to challenge our economic orthodoxy, and to develop the ideas in earlier books like Ernst Shumacher's Small is Beautiful and the Club of Rome-sponsored Limits to Growth.
"No growth" advocates have faced a tough battle to be taken seriously, even though most of the general predictions made 35 years ago in Limits to Growth were accurate. And they won't sweep the world in 2009. We're still closer to the extreme represented by the frenzied Long Island mob that figured a Wal-Mart employee's life was worth less than a sale-priced toaster.
The concept runs counter to almost every piece of expert advice about how to cope with the current downturn, and its proponents admit that a period when most indicators are headed south is not the time for an abrupt change in course. But they do say that this confluence of economic and climate change crises ought to cause us to think seriously about the longer term.
"There's a growing concern about where we are," says Peter Victor, a senior economist at York University, who recently published his latest book, Managing Without Growth. "People are looking for alternatives."
In his book, Victor asks: "Will the capacity of Earth to provide and accommodate the flows of material and energy on which economies depend constrain future economic growth?" His answer is "Yes," and it comes with a warning: "If we do not address this issue, then, the next generation or two may have to do it anyway without any preparation for the task whatsoever. That is not a legacy for which they would thank us."
"The implicit assumption is that the planet can cope with endless growth," he said in an interview. "It's the desire to question that assumption that's the primary driver of my work."
What's wrong with growth?
In the first place, Victor says, it hasn't fulfilled the promise of full employment, less poverty and a better environment: "Growth has been disappointing."
We don't require endless improvement in material wealth, he adds. "Above a certain level of income there's no relationship between wealth and happiness."
In fact, Victor and others say, the focus on growth diminishes us, largely because two-thirds of our economy is based on consumer spending: If we don't work and earn so we can keep stuff flying off store shelves and into ever-larger homes, our industrial machine sputters and wheezes. Other important aspects of life – family, friends, relaxation, contemplation, health, hobbies and interests – are trampled in the mad frenzy to ensure the wheel stays spinning.
In a 2007 article promoting his book Consumed, American political scientist Benjamin Barber says capitalism is stymied. Originally an effective way to ensure people got what they need, it now renders us infantile by convincing us to embrace artificial needs and desires, so that we must have the latest toys and gadgets – right now!
"In order to turn reluctant consumers with few unsatisfied core needs into permanent shoppers, producers must dumb down consumers, shape their wants, take over their life worlds, encourage impulse buying, cultivate shopaholism and invent new needs," Barber says.
"This is capitalism's all-too-logical way of solving the problem of too many goods chasing too few needs."
But even if growth were beneficial to the human psyche, it couldn't continue, Victor says. The finite Earth won't tolerate it. A "green economy" would only delay the day of reckoning.
"The faster an economy grows, the higher the rate it has to decarbonize," or replace fossil fuels with renewable energy and conservation, he says. "No matter how efficient you get, you have to use carbon."
Victor isn't saying we should let the economy continue its current collapse: "`No growth' can be disastrous if implemented carelessly." But, he says, the crisis ought to encourage us to think of a new strategy.
His plan calls for growth to decelerate until around 2030. At that point, we'd be materially better off than now and enjoying life more.
We'd get there, he says, through policies that include:
Stabilizing population by letting immigration offset the forecast natural decline. Maintaining current levels of family reunifications and refugees, but allowing fewer economic immigrants.
Cutting resource use and waste emissions through taxes, cap-and-trade systems and other measures to reduce consumption of goods and increase emphasis on services.
Reducing the time each person works and spreading the jobs around.
Taking increased productivity as leisure time.
Assessing the environmental and social impacts of new technologies before they can be produced.
Promoting local economies.
If these items sound Draconian, Victor says, we should remember they're already in use in some form. And if we consume less, he notes, we'll leave room for growth in poorer parts of the world.
He admits it won't be easy: "The scope of change required for managing without growth is so great that no democratically elected government could implement the requisite policies without the broad-based consent of the electorate. Even talking about them could make a politician unelectable."
That's especially true because, "as a species, we evolved having to deal with short time spans and a relatively small spatial scope. The problem now is that we have big impacts that are global and long-term. The question is, are we capable of thinking at that level?"
So far, we've shown little inclination to make the leap. In fact, the usual reaction to "no growth" is ridicule or hostility. That doesn't faze Victor. "I don't back away from an idea simply because there's a backlash."

Spaulding Roundup: Game time For San Diego St. & Notes Re. "Rebuilding Process"
By Nestor Jul 21, 2009, 5:04am PDT
Share All sharing options for: Spaulding Roundup: Game time For San Diego St. & Notes Re. "Rebuilding Process"
Let's start this Tuesday with some news from the official site. We have just 46 days left till the kickoff and we now have a start time for the opener against San Diego State. The September 5 game at the Rose Bowl will kick off at 4:30 pm PT. FS West will televise the game live throughout Southern California, including San Diego. More details over at the official site.
As we get closer and closer to the start of the season and the training camp, team previews keep rolling in from all over the internets. The latest one comes from CPBruinFan over at Bruin Roar, who begins his 2009 UCLA preview by taking a look at our offense. Kevin Prince is CPBruinFan's "key to the season":
What is different this season is that we have some young, skilled guys in key positions.
Most notably red shirt freshman Kevin Prince. Repeat after me: Prince is the key to the season, Prince is the key to the season, Prince is the key to the season. It really can't be stated too many times. Prince's development will go hand-in-hand with the team's ability to win.
Even though Prince is playing his first football game in nearly 3 years (he missed his entire senior season at Crespi due to injury) he brings a lot to the table. Most importantly, he is a smart player who has a firm grasp on Chow's offense. If Prince can avoid the mind-numbingly horrible decisions that Craft made last season then he'll be a huge improvement. He also seems to be a capable game manager, accurate, and mature for his age.
Of course, he's still a freshman who will make freshman mistakes. In particular, an early season game at Neyland Stadium will test his mental toughness. I'm not expecting miracles from this kid, but I do think we'll be pleased with his progress by year end.
The operative word in CPB's rest of excellent preview is "progress" and "experience." He is not expecting anything dramatic in year two of CRN's "rebuilding process":
Let's face it, this is part 2 of Neuheisel's rebuilding process. This team isn't going to win a ton of games this year, even with a more favorable schedule (I'll get to that in future articles about our opponents), and the offense will struggle again.
But the good news is that we've got a lot young guys who will be racking up a ton of experience this season. It wouldn't surprise me if the offense was staring as many as 6 underclassman by the end of the season. All of that is great for the future of the program.
Couldn't agree more. Read rest of the preview here. More UCLA pigskin related notes after the jump.
Meanwhile, we have more notes to sync with the consensus regarding 2009 expectations. As we have noted throughout this off-season, the expectations for this upcoming season across the board is mild given the lack of experience at QB and our line on offense. Al Balderas from the OC Register has more on the lukewarm predictions for our team this coming season:
On the other hand, Surefire Scouting sees the Bruins ending their Pac-10 season in a three-way tie for sixth place (with Arizona and Stanford).
ESPN.com compiled the preseason predictions put forth by Phil Steele, Surefire Scouting, Lindy's, AthlonSports and The Sporting News to compile a consensus.
Also, Jeff Metcalfe from AZcenteral.com has his own Pac-10 prections out in which he has Bruins finishing 7th in the conference. All of this jives with what we have read throughout this off season. It also comports with the observations with folks here and also Bruin fans who follow the team on a day to day basis.
Again, as we have said over and over again, it's all about the big picture (just like Howland's second season) this year and the key goal for our program this year is going to be to just get into a bowl game before contemplating the next step in the long rebuilding process.
GO BRUINS.

The Senses in Healthcare Architecture and Design: Developing Guidance for Hospitals
We seek expressions of interest for a working group to develop a guidance document for hospitals on sensory architecture and design. We want to design a document that prompts engagement with 'good' sensory design in new-build hospitals and hospital redevelopments. We hope that the guidance can bring together existing expertise on sensory design at a range of scales: from furniture and objects, to arts, interior design and architecture. Members of the working group will be named as co-authors of the finished guidance note, and we will be able to offer some compensation for people's time/contributions. We seek a small working group of around 6-8 people, meeting approximately 3 times per year over the course of mid 2021-mid 2023 to develop a draft. We will discuss the draft at a conference in 2023 and then seek an extension to our funding in 2024-27 to finalise, produce, and disseminate this guidance.
This guidance note will be developed in partnership with Architects for Health, as part of a UKRI-funded 'Future Leaders Fellowship' on the sensory environment of the NHS hospital. The project ('Sensing Spaces of Healthcare') explores the sensory past, present and future of NHS hospitals. Many critiques of hospital design claim that we have lost 'holistic' design in healthcare and refer to historical examples to make their case, but draw repeatedly on the same few examples (Nightingale wards, sanatoria) and focus on their visual features (colour, light). This project offers a new way of approaching the hospital, for the benefit of hospital historians, designers and users. It focuses on more recent – and under-studied – hospitals of the National Health Service. It also rethinks healthcare environments through the body and the senses, focusing on how places feel and have felt rather than how they look and have looked. This guidance note will be one of the project outcomes, alongside a sensory research 'toolkit' for use in hospitals.
If you are interested in contributing to the working group, please send an email to sensing-spaces-project@bristol.ac.uk by 31 March 2021. Please include your name, contact details, and up to 150 words on your relevant expertise and what you think you can bring to the working group.


In recent years many progressive political thinkers have focused on the views of so-called millennials. They are more pro-gay rights, more racially inclusive and generally have more progressive political views on a host of issues. It's part of what gives people – rightly – such confidence on LGBT rights issues. It's generational. There's no going back. That's great. Unfortunately, a lot of these youngs seem to be complete a complete disaster on vaccination.
Check this out. This is a chart from a recent poll by Yougov. To be clear, it is not whether people think vaccinations are important. It's whether people think vaccinations should be mandatory. As you can see, for older Americans, support for mandatory immunizations is overwhelming. And it just got lower and lower and lower the younger you go – with what looks like a steep turning points somewhere in the mid-30s.
And the same goes for vaccination as gay rights, racial inclusion and the rest. The trend seems obvious. In twenty years will there be strong public support for even soft-compulsory vaccination?
I think the reality is that society seems to has lost the historical memory of various horrific endemic childhood diseases.

Seth Godin talks about 'New Marketing' in his book Meatball Sundae.
In short, he says that Old Marketing (inundating an unsuspecting but captive mass audience with your product in hopes that some of them would buy it) only worked when people had no choice or control.
Now we can skip commercials via Tivo or online streaming, tailor our ads; we never have to watch a commercial.
Now the winning approach is based not on HOW MANY but WHO.
It's about finding your tribe and sharing your story (and services) with them.
There's no one to convince or Stun into submission– it's all connection.
Instead of trying to make you believe you want what I've got, marketing is about finding the people who already want it.
And that's more of an adventure, a treasure hunt.
That's how marketing actually sounds fun.


Lindsay Lohan Sent To Jail For Probation Violation. Again. Bails Out. Again.
I feel like I've written this post before. A couple of times. I wonder if Lindsay Lohan is as sick of all of this as we are? Probably not, seeing how she seems to be incapable of keeping her nose clean.
So in the latest Lilo trials and tribulations, the law-challenged actress has had her felony grand theft charge reduced to a misdemeanor, which is an incredibly lucky break.
Noting that Lindsay Lohan's DUI conviction was four years ago, Judge Stephanie Sautner ruled that the offense – as well as Lindsay's record – did not support a felony charge.
But the good news didn't last long.
You see, Lindsay's been under the confines of this little thing called probation. And, well, the alleged theft of the necklace is a blatant violation of its terms.
While Judge Sautner may not feel the alleged theft is enough to warrant a felony charge, she certainly thinks Lindsay should be punished for the probation violation, and sentenced Lohan to 120 days in county jail.
Unfortunately, the term "punished" is being used loosely here.
Lindsay [was] remanded into custody and taken to the basement of the courthouse for booking. Lindsay's lawyer has said she'll appeal, which means Lindsay is entitled to post bail.
Lohan was also ordered to complete 480 hours of community service — 360 of those hours must be performed at the Downtown Women's Center, so Lindsay can see how needy women have to live. The remaining 120 hours will be served at the L.A. County morgue.
About five hours after being booked into Lynwood Correctional Facility – and having her fifth mug shot taken – Lindsay Lohan's $75,000 bail was posted; sending her once again through the exit doors and free to roam the streets.
She is due back in court on May 11th for her pretrial hearing.
It's important to note that although the Judge reduced Lindsay's charges from a felony to a misdemeanor, she did not throw out the case, and there are still theft charges on the table that could spell big trouble for our Miss Lindsay.
Judge Sautner explained that Lindsay should have called the store and notified the owners about the necklace sooner. She waited several weeks and returned the necklace after finding out the cops were about to raid her house.
Sautner seemed influenced by the surveillance video, which she saw for the first time in court today. Sautner agreed with Danette Meyers, who argued Lindsay used her friend Patrick as a decoy to distract the clerk.

About Simon
July 29, 2016 simonmainwaringpb	8 Comments
A week and a half back when I took my oath to become a U.S. citizen. I duly decked myself out in suit and Stars and Stripes tie – courtesy of my mother-in-law – piled the family into our minivan, and headed out for the naturalization ceremony, which was at the U.S. courthouse, downtown. I had imagined that there might be a fair few people there to take their oath and others to celebrate them from the viewing gallery, yet as has been my experience with much about life in America over these past 11 years, things were bigger than I had imagined.
The only place where I have ever seen a longer line is at Disneyland. It consisted of about 1700 to be U.S. citizens who snaked their way around two sides of the city block. If the Department of Homeland Security had staged it, I think it would have been hard to come up with a more diverse crowd. There were all manner of national costumes, 105 countries of birth represented, speaking who knows how many more languages and dialects. Filipino, Arabic, Spanish, all around me, bubbling over in excited anticipation for a ceremony that marked the end of a long, hard journey, which for some began with them leaving the country of their birth with only the clothes on their back and the children in their arms to take with them.
'We the people', were the words emblazoned on the cover of the brochure they handed us. We the people, a diverse, hopeful, buoyant, cacophony of immigrants. I was right back on Liberty Island, with Emma Lazarus's New Colossus,
'A mighty woman with a torch, whose flame,
Is the imprisoned lightning, and her name
Mother of Exiles. From her beacon-hand
Glows world-wide welcome'.
It was an image of the kind of America I had wanted to belong to; the kind of world I want to belong to. Nation by nation, the judge invited us to stand and be applauded as a preamble to taking our collective oath. 'Our strength as a nation is in our diversity', the judge told us, and for that hour I truly believed he was right, and with each act of atrocious violence, across this nation, across France, across the Middle East, across this world, those words have meant more and more as a defiant hope in the promise of our global life together: our strength is in our diversity.
In order to make it to the naturalization ceremony in this country you have to pass a test. I am one of those strange people who likes tests, and it had been a long time since I had had the opportunity to take a test in anything, so I duly devoted myself to a hard course of study in U.S. civics and history by watching at least two seasons of 'The West Wing' before I sat my exam. After all, being the hopeless overachiever that I am, only 10 out of 10 would do. I had to know the answers.
This is often how we see knowledge, isn't it? We see it as a question of knowing the right answers about something. Since over a year ago and until November 8th, two political parties will have invested inordinate amounts of money, trying to demonstrate to us that their candidate has the right answers to the questions Americans are asking, and it would seem an equal if not greater amount of money will have been spent on letting us know how the other candidate has all the wrong answers to those questions. It's not just politics. Religious belief is often seen this way. We either possess right knowledge or we don't. We are either in the right camp, or we are off the reservation.
This is not, however, what the Bible means when it talks about knowledge. True knowledge is not something that can be taught as much as it is something that needs to be discovered. Just take Jesus' parable about the foolish rich man who wished to store up his treasured crops in greater and greater barns. As far as he can tell, a bigger barn is simply a wise investment, and there are many who have come to similar conclusions today in their own striving for accumulation. However, it is only when he is faced with the end of his life that he can see that his attempts at feeding his soul have been futile.
For the rich landowner, knowledge has to be discovered, for had been clinging to something, like the 'alien people' T. S. Eliot describes in his poem, 'The Journey of the Magi', mired in 'the old dispensation', 'clutching their gods'. As long as he kept his grip tight on his wealth, his power, his supposed knowledge of what was best, he was unable to recognize that there was another way to live. His desire for wealth in the power of the world had impoverished him toward God.
To gain true knowledge requires us to let go of our previous certainties, to loosen our grip on our preconceived views of the world and its people. For in many ways, to truly know is a question of truly being able to see. It is for this reason that the Christian vision of diversity is not one that requires you to become like me, but a vision that recognizes that we are all to become like Christ, the one who truly accepts us for who we are, exactly as we are. What's more, such a vision is not a once for all view of the world, but an ongoing process of being changed moved on of our singular view of reality to the infinite richness of God's view.
In spite of my UK friends sending me pictures of a disgusted looking Queen, I think those Brits will still let me into the country – after all I still have that British passport and don't plan on giving that up any time soon. It's more a case that my tent got a bit larger the Wednesday before last. We need a large tent, don't we. It's a diversity worth working for, and glory worth finding in one another.
Church in an Age of Terror
July 26, 2016 simonmainwaringpb	Leave a comment
Another day, another tragic, senseless act of violence visited upon persons who have little to no ability to defend themselves. Today, the heretofore tranquility of St-Etienne-du-Rouvray, a suburb of Rouen in northern France, is beginning to come to terms with the brutal execution of Jacques Hamel, an 84 year-old Catholic priest who was murdered during morning Mass while four others were taken hostage. Fr Hamel's killers are themselves dead. We will never know fully what made them choose him rather than another defenseless target. Perhaps the randomness of it is the point of those who seek to bring terror even to places seemingly far-removed from the centers of political power. 'It could be anywhere next', I suppose is the message they wish for the world to hear.
Lorries plowed into scores of spectators, young and old, in Nice; gunshots fired from the roofs of a parking lot and shopping mall in Munich; a knife attack on the mentally disabled just west of Tokyo – each of them, and so many more in Kabul and Baghdad and beyond, ruinous and repulsively callous losses of human life. Such acts have their roots in mental instability, anger, poverty, and a jingoism whose myopic vision of the world has only enough room for a narrow slither of human life. We live in a time saturated by violent imagery and ideology, where each outburst of rage chips away at the edifice of what we had once thought of as the common good.
So, what of the church? There are militant atheists who argue that religious tribalism is what has gotten our world into the mess it is enduring in the first place. Such thinkers, such as Richard Dawkins, claim that as a species we would make a giant step toward a more peaceable existence if we left religious thought and practice behind us. On one hand, it cannot be denied that religious institutions have proved to be effective vehicles for the human tendency toward extremism and exclusivism. On the other, it can be said that churches today in this age of terror have the opportunity to reach deep into their roots to be the alternative vision of life together that their vocation calls them to be.
When the New Testament writers elected to utilize the Greek word, 'ekklesia' to refer to the gathering of individual followers of Jesus in the first century, dispersed and diversified as they were across the earliest diaspora of the Jerusalem church's missionary expansion, they chose to take a common cultural reference point and offer it a resistive twist. 'Ekklesia' was the common term applied to the political assemblies of the hellenistic world, most notably and longstanding in Athens. The ekklesia was most simply the people called out to assemble. Ekklesia existed when the people, called out, had gathered. The New Testament writers, though, developed the concept of ekklesia to mean that the people called out exist as an entity, whether assembled or not. Thus, their identity as those called out is more than merely an expression of their having come together in one place, but as a presence in society beyond their gathering, constituted as followers of Jesus
Such an identity was not neutral about the society it embedded itself in. In the steeply hierarchical world of patronage, from slave to emperor, socio-economic power was constructed via a pyramid of servitude, expressed in public displays of social power such as shared meals and other civic celebrations. Thus, the ritual meals of the early followers of Jesus, the dispersed and gathered ekklesia, with their radically egalitarian table fellowship, along with the ekklesia's place for the leadership of women and freedmen, and the economic mutualism of one local ekklesia extended to another via Paul's collection of monies for poorer communities, all offered a potent counter-cultural ideology and set of practices.
Like the walls of catacombs that testify to the resistive symbols of the earliest followers of Jesus, these people of the ekklesia literally left their mark on a society that was otherwise based on subordination and violently imposed control. These first ekkelsia were what Hauerwas today calls 'communities of character', collectives that seek to live into distinctive rules of life that engrave difference into the world, even as that world's totalizing narratives of terror seek to deny room for difference to exist.
We need the church to be a diaspora of communities of character. We need people to be formed and to form a world that can articulate a counter-narrative to a culture of violence and division. We need a movement that will identify with its deep collective roots and live in the solidarity of those who are subjected to fear and loss. We need a church that will re-member the witness of the life of Jacques Hamel and hold out in the hope that the resurrection truth we have lived by will gift us all freedom one day: that life wins in the end.

Fiddleheads began as an idea in early 2006, with the vision to create an artisan gift shop offering quality-handcrafted items to the local community and tourists alike. The items had to be not only of good quality and possess appeal they had to be created by American craftsman. Within that ideal, the focus was to showcase primarily New England and also New Hampshire artisans. There had to also be a responsibility to offer Fair Trade produced items as well as Canadian since the shop is located approximately 8 miles from the Canadian border. The toughest challenge was to be able to offer all of this at an affordable and reasonable price. The owners Ron and Bette Guerin do extensive research on a continuing basis to find unique offerings, traveling to different venues when the opportunity exists.
The shop opened on May 5th, 2007 and was instantly embraced by the local community. The community's support has enabled Fiddleheads to continue to showcase affordable works of art and to grow its unique inventory. The shop offers "Artisan Spotlights", which gives local artisans the opportunity to have a day dedicated to their craft and to meet shoppers on a one to one basis. The shop and its artisans have also used these opportunities to support local charities by raising money through raffles using items donated by the artisans.
Currently, the shop carries over 60 New Hampshire artisans and an additional 250 New England artisans. Produced items by American and Canadian companies continue to grow. An alliance was formed with CRAG (Connecticut River Artisan Group), which has within its membership over 50 artisans from New Hampshire, Maine, Vermont and Canada. A gallery space has been created to promote this organizations talents, which opened in the Spring of 2010.
Fiddlehead's mission is to promote local, regional and national artisans and to be connected to the community through organizations that focus on the arts. Fiddleheads is a member of the Arts Alliance of Northern New Hampshire, New Hampshire Made and the American Made Alliance. Bette serves as VP on the board of the GNWCA (Great North Woods Committee For The Arts).
Looking to the future for ways to broaden the awareness of the arts in the "North Country" as well as to provide wonderful gifts for the consumer, Fiddleheads happily takes on the challenge!

LoL Ruined skins are canon and part of the lore of Runeterra – Latest News, Breaking News, Top News Headlines
There are many League of Legends skins or skins that have no real impact on the lore or story of the game, and are simply a cosmetic line for certain popular champions or to complete the occasional event.
Something logical considering the amount of aspects that are in the game, but sometimes, Riot Games takes advantage of the advantage of these skins to link it with history that, for a long time, have been working on Runeterra.
The next champion that will arrive at Summoner's Rift will be a before and after in the League of Legends universe, and that is that Viego, the Ruined King, has arrived to bring his deadly fog with him and the despair of many.
In the video 'The Ruin' with which they introduced Viego, it is seen how Lucian and Senna are on an island when, suddenly, they notice the Fog, and with it the Ruined King. A fog that, during the trailer, wreaks havoc.
From cities flooded with Viego's trademark blight, to champions who are affected by this strange magic; curiously, weeks before we knew several champions with these aspects:
Draven, Karma and Shyvana They are the champions chosen to have a 'Ruined' skin, which means that they will have an importance in the lore of League of Legends related to Viego, but not only in the MOBA. This has been confirmed by a rioter, ensuring that the aspects They are canon and are part of the lore.
Riot Games will launch its game in early 2021 'Ruined king ', a story based on League of Legends that we have already talked about and that, of course, will have as its main asset continuing this story of the Ruined King.
What does it mean that Draven, Karma and Shyvana be ruined champions? At the moment, we don't know, but we do know the effects of the Fog, which seems to control the character (like Viego himself in the Rift) and completely lose his autonomy.
According to the lore of Viego, he uses his Fog to try to get back his beloved and wife, Isolde, blinded by a corrupted love of death and misfortune, and he will do his best to claim vengeance.
With this in mind, it is likely that we will see these 3 champions in Ruined King, and that we will learn more about the lore through Viego's dialogue with these champions if they have the Ruined skin on. Well played, Riot.

Ramadan is a Muslim holy month. It is the ninth month of the Islamic calendar and the start date is based on the appearance of the crescent moon. As the Islamic calendar is slightly shorter than the western calendar, Ramadan comes earlier and earlier every year.
What do people do?
Fasting Muslims do not eat or drink anything between down to sunset. They also give up bad habits and try to be model human beings for the whole month of Ramadan. Many people give money to charity during Ramadan. For many, Ramadan is a chance to have more time to think and reflect good. Fasting during the holy month is one of the five pillars of Islam. In this month the Quran was revealed as guidance for mankind and included the criteria between right and wrong.
The conclusion of Ramadan
The conclusion of Ramadan is marked with a major celebration known as Eid-ul-Fitr. It starts the day after Ramadan which is a reward from Allah to His believers.
