Save homeopathy on the NHS - help fund the judicial review
by Cristal Sumner
Cristal Sumner
I am the CEO of the national charity, the British Homeopathic Association. We want to protect the public's right to access homeopathy and other natural health options within the NHS.
We've raised over £18k and await outcome of our judicial review application
Thank you to all our donors. The donations we received far exceeded our expectations! We have received over £18,000 to help cover our legal fees to lodge our application for ju…
The NHS is slowly dismantling our healthcare choices without proper and lawful consultation.
The NHS England Consultation on 'Items which should not be routinely prescribed in primary care' included a proposal for future statutory guidance that homeopathy, in any form and in respect of any care pathway and whether in conjunction with traditional pharmaceutical medicines or otherwise, should not be prescribed to existing or new patients within the NHS. This consultation recently closed and a decision on its proposals is expected at the end of November 2017.
Many patients treated with homeopathy on the NHS have found it to be beneficial to their health, quite often after they've failed to respond to conventional treatments; where conventional treatments do not exist; to alleviate the side effects of conventional treatments and/or in place of antibiotics and other medicines which the NHS wishes to reduce the use of.
If the NHS proposal is approved and homeopathy is no longer prescribed on the NHS, these patients won't disappear, they will be compelled to use more services not less, which are likely to be more expensive conventional drugs which may not be as effective.
We understand that expenditure needs to be reviewed, but that any review must be done lawfully upon proper consideration of the position.
We have commenced an application for judicial review on the basis that consultation was fundamentally flawed from the outset in that the proposal was not formulated with input from any homeopathy experts or practitioners; it was not a genuine attempt to engage consultees (a decision having been ostensibly predetermined) and did not provide consultees with adequate information on which to provide a considered and informed response. The judicial review seeks, among other things, a declaration that NHS England has acted unlawfully in relation to its proposals, its failure to consult on them properly and to listen to patients! If successful, we can protect the right of patients to choose to be treated with homeopathy on the NHS and the right of the public to properly be able to input upon the services that their National Health Service provides.
We have engaged solicitors Bates Wells Braithwaite, led by Emma Dowden-Teale, recognised for their expertise in judicial review and a highly regarded QC, Richard Clayton QC, who has an outstanding track record in cases involving public policy. We want to raise £7,500 to cover part of the legal fees for our judicial review. Once we reach this target more funds will ensure the legal challenge can proceed.
Your support will help make NHS England more accountable, defend patient choice and, more importantly, ensure patients have appropriate input on their access to cost-effective healthcare they use and need – in this case HOMEOPATHY!

Thank you to all our donors. The donations we received far exceeded our expectations! We have received over £18,000 to help cover our legal fees to lodge our application for judicial review.
In addition, over 25,000 UK citizens and residents have signed the Parliamentary Petition calling for NHS England to keep homeopathy and herbal prescriptions in general practice. The petition is open until March so please sign and encourage others to do so as well. It isn't just about homeopathy and herbal medicines, it is about patient choice and access to the care we all want when we are unwell. The petition can be found by clicking here.
NHS England met on the 30th November and agreed to recommend that homeopathy no longer be prescribed in general practice. Disappointing but not unexpected. Our statement on their decision can be read by clicking here.
NHS England's decision on 30th November makes no difference to our legal challenge of the consultation. At present, the court needs to allocate a judge to review the grounds we have lodged, to enable us to move forward with the judicial review. This can take some time but we hope to have news to share in February 2018.
We will endeavour to keep you updated on our activities to ensure NHS England are held accountable, for what we feel fundamentally flawed consultation.
NHS England Board agrees to cut funding
NHS England decided at their meeting yesterday (30th November), that homeopathy should no longer be prescribed in primary care.
It is now even more imperative that NHS England is held to account through judicial review about their consultation process.
We had remained hopeful that NHS England might, on consideration of the large volume of consultation responses plus the arguments made in the judicial review, have come to the view that further (and proper) consultation was necessary. Their decision to cut access to homeopathy is therefore disappointing but not unexpected given the fundamentally flawed consultation NHS England conducted around homeopathy.
Instead of listening to patients who have benefited from the therapy, or to the doctors who have treated them, NHS England choose to base its decision on the discredited House of Commons Science and Technology Committee's report from 2010 and the 2015 study by Australia's National Health and Medical Research Council, which is so flawed it is currently being investigated by the Commonwealth Ombudsman, facts NHS England conveniently failed to mention in the reams of documentation it produced for its board meeting.
It is shocking that when decisions to cut health services are being made, no critical questions as to how this will affect patients are asked by NHS England board members. Failure to explain what other treatments patients can expect to receive instead of homeopathy—along with the comparative costs of these treatments—is indicative of an organisation that has scant regard for the patient experience, and only pays lip service to the idea of genuine engagement with those who will be most affected by the decisions being made.
The BHA's judicial review moves forward on strong grounds. With your support we can see the case to the end and ideally nullify the decision made by NHS England.
We've reached our stretch target of £16,000
A big THANK YOU to all our supporters who have enabled us to hit our stretch target of £16,000 to help fund the BHA's legal challenge of NHS England's consultation.
We are delighted at the generosity of our supporters who share our concerns over this attack on patient choice.
The money raised will help pay for legal work already undertaken to lodge the application for judicial review. Any additional funds, beyond the £16,000, will go towards work already being done to defend and clarify our case with the court. It is costly, but essential and important work.
Presently we are awaiting the outcome of our application to the court, and anticipate a response in the coming weeks.
Meanwhile, NHS England's Board will be meeting on 30th November 2017, and we have been informed that at this meeting the Board will be making decisions about patient access to homeopathy and herbal medicine based on the very consultation which we are challenging. Whatever the outcome of NHS England's Board meeting on the 30th, the BHA will continue pursuing its legal challenge.
We still have 8 days on crowdjustice and how fantastic would it be to hit £20,000 for this campaign?! It only takes a few shares by you and me on social media and by email to get us to our new target. Please help make it happen!
Thank you for being a part of community of people that care about choice, proper public consultation and accountability of government bodies in decision making!

Packers Odds +2
Odds via DraftKings. Get up-to-the-minute NFL odds here.
The Los Angeles Rams will travel to Wisconsin to take on the Green Bay Packers in a titanic matchup between two Super Bowl hopefuls.
The Rams have been reeling as of late. Besides a dominant performance against the lowly Texans, they've struggled the last month offensively and have seen their offensive DVOA ranking drop from a firm No. 1 to a loose No. 2 in relatively short order.
Matthew Stafford, despite his solid overall stats, has shown flashes of what made his stint with the Detroit Lions terrible — mistakes, poor reads and lots and lots of interceptions. He's averaging two picks a game over the last two weeks.
And the Rams barely squeaked by the Lions, too, three weeks ago. Detroit had been up 19-17 entering the fourth quarter. Los Angeles is coming off a much-needed bye week entering this game.
Meanwhile, Green Bay has shown that it's assuredly aSuper Bowl contender, but it's mired by an Aaron Rodgers injury that will linger throughout the season.
Rodgers has not practiced in weeks. First, he missed a full week of practice and a game after contracting the coronavirus. Then, he says he fractured his toe during quarantine. Rodgers has practiced just once since Nov. 3.
Despite these factors, Rodgers still has the most popular player prop for this massive NFC matchup.

Rams vs. Packers Player Props
Aaron Rodgers to throw for more than 265.5 yards (-115)
Cooper Kupp to record more than 95.5 receiving yards (-121)
Matthew Stafford to throw for more than 270.5 yards (-121)
Odds and data are courtesy of PointsBet
Rodgers has hit this pass total just four times in his 10 games this season, but he has done so in every game since he returned from the COVID-19 restricted list.
Rodgers has fulfilled the prop against Washington (30th against the pass), the Seahawks (25th), Bengals (19th) and Vikings (eighth). The Rams have the 10th-best pass defense in the NFL, according to DVOA.
Given how high-flying the Rams' offense is, this one could turn into a shootout. There isn't fantastic value with this prop given historical precedent. If you're that confident that Rodgers will put up a monster game, perhaps there's more value with the Packers moneyline at +110.
Next up is Cooper Kupp, who has gone over 95.5 receiving yards in seven of his 10 games. That rate implies odds of about -235. The current line at -121 is a pretty crazy value given the implied odds.
That said, the Packers are a decent 12th against the pass and will be targeting Kupp with double teams and scheme changes.
Also, the 95.5 threshold is a high benchmark to pass. Still, I think there's too much value here to give up. Definitely sprinkle a little bit on this prop.
Lastly, Matthew Stafford's third-most popular player prop has been fulfilled in eight of his 10 games this season. That rate implies ridiculous odds at -400. This, too, has too much value to pass on.
Bank on Stafford and Kupp to fulfill player prop thresholds that they've been doing for the majority of the season.

San Pedro is a cactus that grows indigenous to Peru, and its usage in ceremony dates back to over 3000 years ago. The mescaline contained in the flesh of the cactus creates an entheogenic experience that can be truly profound and healing to whoever consumes it. Before traveling to Peru, I had read about San Pedro's ability to open your heart, and that where Ayahuasca might show you what needs to be changed in your life, San Pedro gives you whatever it is you need to actually make the change. What this was going to look like I wasn't entirely too sure, but the gratitude, excitement, and awe I felt at the opportunity to drink this numinous plant was tremendous.
My body felt as fluid as the water I was drenched in and as heavy as the clay in the tiles surrounding me. My thoughts were disappearing. My mind felt almost completely hollow. Curious without a question to answer.
Finishing a show, finishing a notebook. This book saw me through all of 2018, 4 movies and 1 TV show. Now to go up on a shelf as a book of memories.

Wait no more: the opening of alternative funds to retailisation is here >

Wait no more: the opening of alternative funds to retailisation is here
"Good things come to those who wait," said the American lawyer and statesman Abraham Lincoln —who, we suspect—doesn't need much of an introduction. For fund managers, it seems the time has come to open alternative funds to retailisation —and what an exciting opportunity it is.
An introduction to Alternative Investment Funds
Alternative Investment Funds are called this because they don't fall into one of the conventional investment categories, such as stocks, bonds, and cash. AIFs refer to all investment funds that aren't covered by the EU Directive on Undertakings for the Collective Investment in Transferable Securities (UCITS) and instead fall under the Alternative Investment Fund Manager Directive (AIFMD). This includes hedge funds, infrastructure, venture capital, private equity, private debt and real estate funds.
Moreover, they entail a long-term investment horizon, that is, the lifecycle of these funds is usually quite long —for instance, infrastructure funds can last as much as 30 years.
Due to their complex nature, more nascent regulation, and higher degree of risk, most alternative investment assets are held by institutional investors or accredited, high-net-worth individuals —pension funds, family offices, insurance companies. This is because, very often, AIFs require a minimum commitment amount that starts at several million euros, which obviously not everyone can afford.
Another characteristic of alternative investment funds is that they are typically closed-ended. This means that they don't continuously offer their shares for sale, but instead sell a fixed number of shares, or rather commitments, at one time.
That explains why the group of investors —which is usually a small group of 10 to 25 investors— tends to remain the same throughout that fund's life. The opposite happens with a UCITS fund, in the traditional asset management world, where anyone can invest in it and enter or leave it at any point in time, even daily. As a result, the investor base constantly changes.
But let's walk you through an AIF lifecycle. The initial phase is usually called fundraising —when the fund manager brings in the investors, signs them up for the fund, and gathers the (typically uncalled) capital from each one of them to build up the total sum of the fund.
Next, the fund manager will invest the total capital in companies or real estate and develop them over time. At the end of the fund's life, he or she will sell those companies or real estate, so that the investors get their money back, hopefully with an added value.
While the nature of institutional investors has always existed, and it's here to stay, now alternative investment fund managers want to open the gates to a huge pool of capital —that includes you and the whole world out there— which they traditionally haven't tapped into yet.
In other words, the idea is to sell AIFs to individuals, mainly starting with high-net-worth individuals and private banking clients —people who have got a few million in their bank accounts, and by that we mean entry tickets between 50 and 100 thousand euro.
Now that's affordable for a whole lot more people. And that's where the opening up part of those funds comes from, or, as some refer to the happening, the "democratisation of alternatives".
Why it's time to open alternative funds to retailisation
Let's be honest. As an individual, you are probably not really keen on locking yourself into an AIF for 10 years —that's really a long time and so much can change over that period. So, you want to be able to enter a fund and, if for some reason you need capital —say, you want to buy a property or pay your kids' university studies— get it back smoothly.
We totally understand that you probably don't have the luxury—and simply might not want— to wait seven or more years until the fund's lifecycle comes to an end. Hence, for this to work, these types of funds need to be open-ended in nature, which comes with several operational challenges —but more on that later.
To put it bluntly, opening alternative funds to retailisation would allow alternative investment fund managers to tap into new sources of capital —something that they are constantly looking for to set up new funds and grow. Even though it might complicate things in terms of operations, the sheer amount of capital they can potentially collect is vast —and worth it.
But here comes the first challenge: alternative assets aren't listed on a stock exchange, and thus there's no free market information in terms of the value of those assets, so how can they be easily traded? If this is all Greek to you, don't worry. Ας κάνουμε ένα βήμα πίσω (or "let's take a step back").
Net asset value, explained
The net asset value (NAV) is the value of any investment fund. For example, in a traditional UCITS fund that's buying stocks —say Apple or Mercedes shares— one only needs to sum up all those investments, deduct any liabilities and, voilà, one gets the NAV.
This is important because, in an open-end fund, shares must be priced daily, based on their current NAV, so fund managers can smoothly sell them directly to investors as well as redeem them.
On the other hand, since alternative investment funds are typically closed-ended, fund managers tend to calculate the NAV on a quarterly basis. They then relay that information to the investors —which is more like "good to know" information, since they can't really opt out of the fund whenever they wish to.
Thus, going down the retailisation route means that the NAV of alternative funds will have to be recalculated more often —most likely every month instead of every quarter— so that individuals like you can trade on more frequently.
Attaining the NAV in alternatives
The challenge is that the net asset value in alternatives can be quite difficult to calculate. Taking the example of our beautiful building, Crystal Park, how much do you think it's worth right now? Well, ask three different people, and you will get three different answers.
It goes without saying, there are valuation experts who can calculate the building's value, but the crux of the matter is that if you go, for instance, to Bloomberg, you won't find how much Crystal Park is worth there.
As fund managers will have to inform investors every month, and as accurately as possible, about the value of the different assets because of retailisation, this valuation exercise is becoming increasingly critical. But it bears its own challenges.
Coming back to the example of Crystal Park, let's imagine you decide to buy a fund, which only includes our building. If there's a miscalculation in its valuation in the month you went in, you might have paid too much and lost capital. Of course, as an investor, you can bring legal charges against the fund manager for mis-selling that fund to you —not to mention the regulatory consequences it can bring. However, clearly that's a risk the latter doesn't want to take.
The operational challenges… and solutions
We keep our promises, so we will now dig into the operational aspect. What fund managers will ask themselves is, "How will I suddenly manage working with thousands, or ten of thousands, of investors, instead of 10 or 25? I know it's not ideal, but before I could simply use an Excel spreadsheet. What happens now?"
As Kai Braun, Alternatives Advisory Leader at PwC Luxembourg, told us, fund managers will need different systems, will have to validate their data differently, and look after their investors differently. The latter is mainly because they are individuals who might require a different reporting than institutional investors.
But there are solutions too. The major distributors or private banks could manage the end-investor relationship. This way, the alternative investment fund manager would work with, let's say, 20 distributors —which is what they are typically used to in terms of number of investors— and then the distributors or banks would focus on managing the relationship with investors. Sounds good, right?
Ever heard of tokenisation?
Technology will certainly play an essential role in the retailisation of the alternative assets industry, and from that perspective distributed ledger technology (DLT), including blockchain, could become a key enabler as it opens the door to private asset tokenisation.
To tell us more about the matter, we spoke with Thomas Campione, Blockchain and Crypto-assets Leader at PwC Luxembourg. He explained that tokenisation is a process through which any kind of assets, tangible or not, are issued or converted into a digital form that is stored on and transferred over a blockchain infrastructure.
The benefits of a token-based model and a distributed infrastructure will be particularly significant for the asset management industry. More precisely, tokenisation capitalises on the technology underpinning the broader digital assets universe and therefore benefits from similar features.
These include, among others, a limitless fractional ownership —removing the minimum entry ticket inherent to alternative vehicles—, a continuous trading at global scale and on a peer-to-peer basis —removing the notion of lock-up and allowing enhanced transferability between investors—, and programmability features embedded at individual token level —for example, creating significant opportunities for the automation of compliance rules.
At macro level, tokenisation can also offer sizable efficiency gains in the asset management value chain given the register's self-maintained, append-only and distributed features in a DLT context. These features directly impact basic, yet burdensome, considerations, such as the shareholders' register update or data reconciliations between parties, which become irrelevant in this setting.
In addition, the upcoming development of secondary markets for tokenised financial instruments in the European Union (EU) could also bring liquidity to private assets, a feature that retail investors particularly value in the traditional UCITs industry.
While the list of benefits doesn't stop there, tokenisation is certainly not a magic bullet and its practical implications, as well as its operational considerations, can't be ignored. In addition, we need to acknowledge the complexity of the underlying technology combined with new considerations impacting the legacy environment.
Even if it may be so, market participants want to be mindful of the huge potential of illiquid asset tokenisation —whose global market is expected to reach more than €15tn by 2030— and start preparing accordingly.
Undoubtedly, these are exciting times for the alternatives world, filled with opportunities for innovation to thrive around it. Technology will very likely make opening alternative funds to retailisation easier going forward by helping overcome many of the current operational challenges.
A status update and the Luxembourg case
As we mentioned, the opening of alternative funds to retailisation has been around for a while, but it's been gaining traction since the last three to five years, with some funds already getting their feet wet.
Indeed, this trend is taking place all over the world, including in the United States and Europe. And we know very well that if it's happening in the Old Continent, everything points towards Luxembourg because that's where many of the alternative fund managers sit.
In the Grand Duchy, alternative fund managers are very much open to retailisation. Kai also told us that if he were to guess, there are probably around 20 to 25 open-ended retailisation type of alternative funds that have already been set up in the last few years or are about to be setup, which is quite a positive number.
There's nowhere better than Luxembourg for this trend to thrive because of its position in the UCITS sphere —more precisely, number one in Europe. Besides, the country has the know-how on dealing with individual investors, particularly when it comes to transfer agency and AML matters, and it has the right fund products as well.
Let's get regulatory…but only a little
Another key challenge is the very choice of fund structure that can be used to address the needs and preferences of this new investor segment. That said, there are several options, but we are going to focus on two.
The undertakings for collective investment (UCI) Part II fund is a fund set up under Part II of the Luxembourg Law of 17 December 2010, which applies to AIFs that aren't covered by a specific product law. The Part II fund is able to invest in all types of assets and, theoretically, allows any type of investor to invest in alternative investment funds.
There's also the European Long-Term Investment Fund (ELTIF), which facilitates infrastructure investments and can be marketed to all types of investors across the EU. The ELTIF law is currently being revamped, which will probably result in an increased demand for this type of fund as it will make it more attractive and allow, through a passport, to sell fund shares throughout Europe to individuals.
Thanks for the info, but what now?
At PwC Luxembourg, Kai's team can support fund managers who aren't used to working in an open-ended environment. They will walk them through and help them implement the necessary operational changes. Moreover, his team can help fund managers in selecting the right partners —that is, the fund administration, transfer agency, among others.
Last, but not least, even though the passport in ELTIFs might be on the horizon, the UCI Part II is still quite fragmented even within the EU, and so, if fund managers are using it, they will probably need some support in navigating through the regulatory requirements in the different jurisdictions.
In addition, Thomas's team can support alternative asset managers end-to-end in their tokenisation journey, starting from strategy definition, to product review, the selection of stakeholders and technological providers, to the entire operationalisation of the process.
We started this blog entry with a quote from Abraham Lincoln ("Good things come to those who wait"), but did you know there's more to it? We purposefully left the rest to the end, which goes like this: "…but only the things left by those who hustle."
The Luxembourgish fund industry is well equipped and placed to pave the way for this opportunity. There are, of course, some challenges to overcome, mainly operational, but the good news is that there are solutions as well —some may not be viable yet, but that's the beauty of innovation. To get there, we can think of two things: taking baby steps and some hustling too.
*A gate provision refers to a statement in a fund's offering documents that establishes the fund manager's right to limit or halt redemptions. Gate provisions are intended to stop a run on a fund, particularly when the assets a fund holds are illiquid and difficult to turn to cash for redemption in a timely manner. Source: Investopedia.

Q: How to change the default terminal emulator on Windows (cmd)? Is it possible to change the default terminal emulator on Windows (7 and 8 in particular) from Console to, for example, Console2 or ConEmu? In essence, I want all command line tools, whether launched by double clicking, from "Run" or by other processes to use the custom terminal.
This is a trivial matter on Linux, is it even possible on Windows?
It would be especially helpful if this could be done via a script.

A: Default terminal
You may set up ConEmu as default terminal for cmd.exe, tcc.exe, powershell.exe or any other console application. In fact, you choose from what application you need to run any console application, even from Visual Studio for debugging your console applications.

Just turn on checkbox, point applications from you like to start console tools (for example explorer.exe|totalcmd.exe|wdexpress.exe) and voila. You may press Win+R type ipconfig /all and press Enter. You may even start your console application in Visual Studio debugger. New console will starts attached to the new ConEmu tab. You may also doubleclick on some executable in the Explorer window.
You may find more information about the feature in the project wiki: DefaultTerminal.
Alternative
Also, there is an alternative less preferable way to auto run ConEmu on cmd.exe and tcc.exe startup. Just press "Register ConEmu autorun" in Settings -> ComSpec.

A: In order to change the default shell to anything, you have to change the ComSpec environmental variable.
On Windows 7, you Right click My Computer→Properties→Advanced system settings (on the left pane). Go down to the bottom and select Environment Variables.... Change the ComSpec to whatever shell application you want.
The default value is %SystemRoot%\system32\cmd.exe.
For PowerShell it is %SystemRoot%\system32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe.

Sunjang Baduk is one of the forms of Go, which was common in Korea through the 16th century and into the 20th century.
The first 16 moves are prescribed and Black makes the first free play usually at tengen. There are not enough specific records about komi in Sunjang Baduk, although komi of 4.5 was used in the mid-20th century.
The final borders cannot contain any stone in atari, but may contain cutting points. They need not be continuous. Points are not counted in seki.
GoGod article "Sunjang baduk still has lessons for today"
John Fairbairn discusses Sunjang Baduk on MSO. Yours truly has analyzed a ko fight in a PDF file there.
There are a few examples of Sunjang baduk (up to first 200 movements) online, originated from a go magazine published in 1934.

Biography
Benepe was born, raised and lived most of his life in Sheridan, Wyoming. He attended Northwestern University and was a first-team All-American in 1986 as well as the 1986 Big Ten Champion while a member of the golf team. He turned pro in 1986.

Benepe played his first full-year as a professional golfer, 1987, in Asia, on the Australian Tour and on the Canadian Tour. That year, he won the British Columbia Open in Canada; and was the winner of the Canadian Tour's Order of Merit and Rookie of the Year awards. In February 1988, he won Victorian Open in Melbourne, Australia. He joined the PGA Tour in 1988.

Benepe won the 1988 Beatrice Western Open, the first PGA Tour event he ever played in. The tournament was held at Butler National GC in Oak Brook, Illinois that year, and he only got in through a last-minute sponsor exemption. Benepe used a local caddie, James Tunney, to help him to his victory.  Peter Jacobsen double bogeyed the 72nd hole, which gave Benepe the victory. It turned out to be his only career win in an official PGA Tour event. He won the PGA Tour's 1988 Rookie of the Year honors. He is still the only person to win a PGA Tour event on his first attempt and the only Wyoming-born PGA Tour winner.

Benepe left the PGA Tour at the end of the 1991 season after struggling the previous several years with back problems and technical problems with his game. After leaving the Tour, he came home to Sheridan and began working in real estate sales and promotions. After a long hiatus, he began playing competitive tour golf again in the late 1990s in Australia, on the PGA Tour and in about 15 events per year on the Nationwide Tour.  Benepe finished 26th on the Nationwide Tour in 2001 with 6 top-10 finishes and 16th on the Australian Order of Merit.

Benepe was inducted into the Wyoming Sports & Wyoming State Golf Association Hall of Fames in 2006 and the Northwestern Sports Hall of Fame in 2008.

Today he works in the corporate world consulting in various aviation arenas and lives in Sheridan, Wyoming with his wife.

Aug. 29, 2010: Bill Maher, guest, Jim Parsons and Simon Helberg attend HBO's Annual Emmy Awards Post Award Reception at The Plaza at the Pacific Design Center.
HBO continued to dazzle with its star-studded party post-Emmy bash Sunday night. The courtyard of West Hollywood's Pacific Design Center was magically transformed to a "Tropical Paradise" theme, which some stars took rather literally. "Hung" star Thomas Jane even stripped off his shoes while sitting with Penny Marshall and then proceeded to walk about the room in his bare feet.
A shoe-wearing Tom Hanks walked into the party hand-in-hand with wife Rita Wilson, clutching an Emmy with his free hand. The couple made a beeline for their table and held court for the rest of the evening.
Two tables over, "You Don't Know Jack" star Susan Sarandon sat with her daughter and "Californication" star, Eva Amurri. The two made for a stunning two-generational portrait of formal attire and were clearly settling in for a good evening. They were joined by "Jack" himself, Al Pacino, who took home the Emmy for his portrayal of Jack Kevorkian in the HBO movie.
Jerry Ferrara from "Entourage" was bizarrely entourage-less for most of the evening, roaming the party solo.
Anna Paquin and new-husband Stephen Moyer joined their "True Blood" castmates at the party, where Paquin was able to finally put her feet up, literally, after a long day.
Claire Danes put her " Temple Grandin" Emmy trophy on a table in an effort to gain the attention of "Big Love" actress Chloe Sevigny, who was chatting with friends across the room. When Sevigny, wearing a short animal print dress, finally saw Danes, her eyes lit up and she gave her a huge hug of congratulations.
Meanwhile Dane's husband Hugh Dancy was on trophy patrol, keeping an eye on Dane's trophy while she chatted up her friends. Dancy did allow fellow guests the opportunity to hold the heavy award.
Meanwhile, across town at the Colony, the Comedy Central party had the cool, comedian types. Stephen Colbert didn't seem even the slightest bit phased with the Emmy loss to Jon Stewart's team. He yucked it up even surrounded by a cast of celebrating "Daily Show" writers who passed their trophies about joyously. "Daily Show" correspondents John Oliver and Larry Wilmore and former correspondent Rob Riggle looked on.

Poem in 64 languages written by school children displayed in Manchester
breakingfeaturedManchester local news
A brand-new multi-lingual poem incorporating an incredible 64 different languages and written mostly by school children, takes pride of place in Manchester Central Library for the next year.
Local school children and community groups have been invited over the last year to add new lines to a poem 'Made in Manchester' written by local poet Zahid Hussain.
What makes the poem unique however is that the youngsters and others were all asked to contribute lines written in their own heritage language, to highlight the cultural diversity of the city – a city that is proud to be called home by people speaking more than 200 different languages.
The finished poem in all its multi-lingual glory is now on display in Manchester Central Library – where it is being shown for the next year alongside an English translation of it.
The two versions of the poem – the multi-lingual original and the translated English version – will be displayed on two screens next to each other, that scroll in tandem through the poem, with one screen scrolling through the original version and the second screen through the English translation.
A short film featuring an abridged version of the poem read in their own languages by some of the young contributors has also been made and is now available on-line.
The idea for the poem originated from a conversation between poet Zahid Hussain and Councillor Luthfur Rahman, Executive Member for Skills, Culture and Leisure.
They wanted to find a way of showing just how diverse and yet how united the city and its different communities are. In a city where at least 200 different languages are spoken every day it seemed a perfect fit to show this diversity using the power of words and language.
Councillor Luthfur Rahman, Executive Member for Skills, Culture and Leisure, Manchester City Council, said: "It's very moving to see and to read and demonstrates perfectly the strong sense of belonging, identity, and shared community spirit that is found throughout the city.
It's intended that the poem will be passed on to Manchester Metropolitan University's brand-new Poetry Library – due to open in 2020 – where it's hoped the poem will continue to be added to with more languages, just as the number of languages spoken in the city continues also to grow.

#PrayForYe? Are Kanye West and Kim Kardashian the best marketers ever?
Kanye West has been known for his bizarre antics at times, as well as his outbursts that get him and his wife into trouble. But his new outbursts stemming from his presidential campaign are something else entirely. Kim Kardashian has come out asking for kindness and sympathy from the press regarding her husband, but something still seems off.
Like we said, this is far from the first time West has had a manic outburst like this in relation to his mental health. Sources close to Kim say she's really struggling this time in particular, as he's tweeted things insulting her as a person during his outburst this time around.
But the way Kim responded to the outburst, calling her husband a "brilliant but complicated person", and saying that "those who are close with Kanye know his heart and understand his words sometimes do not align with his intentions", doesn't sound like a wife in pain.
It sounds like a publicist trying to come out on top. So even if the Kardashian-West marriage ship sinks, Kim Kardashian still comes out looking like the broken ex-wife while Kanye West is the villain. No surprise, considering how the Kardashians have built a reputation for themselves as getting out of every problematic situation unscathed.
Kim "trying to help" Kanye
There's no way that Kim isn't trying to help Kanye get treated for his mental health issues behind the scenes. Kim has been outspoken on mental health as part of her prison reform platform, and has made it clear that she stands by her husband.
Plus, a lot of people fail to realize what mood disorders like bipolar disorder look like, so this gives a behind the curtains look of how these mental illnesses hurt not only the person, but their family and friends. On top of that, Kim addressed the fact she can't make Kanye do anything he doesn't want to do – an all-too-real situation many families face when trying to get help for their loved ones.
Blaming the wrong things on mental health
But at the same time, Kim is using her platform to try and beg people to ignore Kanye's outbursts, blaming it on his bipolar disorder. Before he was diagnosed, Kanye had a tendency for narcissistic behavior and just general ignorance.
She's trying to de-stigmatize mental health, but by blaming Kanye's behavior on his bipolar disorder, she's ostracizing everyone else with bipolar disorder, saying they're assholes when they're in their manic phase. Sure, some of it may be related to that, but Kanye has had a trend of negative behavior long before his mother died, and his mental health went downhill.
On top of that, she's using his mother's death from 2007 as an excuse, one that the media has used for years to defend the rapper. While everyone goes through grief differently, if he's still acting impulsively and inappropriately due to grief after 13 years, there's something else wrong.
It's clear that Kanye is having issues with his bipolar disorder, and should seek help to try and manage it better for his sake. But the way that Kim is trying to use this situation to make herself look like the victim, when it's her husband suffering, is bizarre.
One giant marketing scheme
Of course, the Kardashians are no stranger to big elaborate schemes to get more views on their show, or get more sales of their various beauty and fashion lines. Kylie Jenner literally hid her pregnancy to score herself more attention, so who's to say the Kardashians wouldn't use Kanye's breakdown to elevate their status?
Think about it: There's no way that Keeping Up with the Kardashians isn't filming parts of Kanye's presidential run. They're also probably filming Kim's reaction to Kanye's meltdowns, and helping improve her image as the sympathetic wife by doing whatever she can. On top of that, Kim will most likely use her platform to encourage mental health reform, making her look better.
Maybe Kanye West has no clue of any of this, but we can't imagine Kim Kardashian or her mom Kris Jenner planning this out. Since Kanye tweeted about wanting to divorce Kim plenty of reports have come out proving both parties have thought about divorce over their 6 year marriage.
They could be planning to just cut Kanye loose to avoid any more scandals and work to rebuild Kim's image away from Kanye. We're praying that Ye gets the help he needs outside of the television show that is the lives of the Kardashian family.

International Biographical Centre (see http://yuli.weblog.tudelft.nl/2010/05/20/top-100-scientists-2010) at Cambridge was quick to comfort me with the loss of ERC grant. They promote me to Iconic Achiever and are ready to send me International Einstein Award ( they ask 400 quid for this). Hurra.
So I have learned today that my ERC proposal is rejected. Therefore there will be no unified theory of quantum transport. Instead, somebody will excercise first-year physics or kick molecules over the substrate. Will write more about when get to normal.
They say they got 42 applications and can grant no more than a quarter. Several proposals have been immediately approved, some have been rejected while mine belongs to the group of 12 that they want to send to the referees. Wish me some luck.
born in Marken, has reached the Ph.D. title today. His promotor, Hans Mooij, flanked by Kees Harmans, has stressed several times that in case of Pieter the title should read "doctor of engineering" thereby showing his appreciation for perfect designs of qubits and read-outs Pieter has accomplished in the course of his promotion work.
The work presented in the thesis is of exceptional quality and resonance. However here in Delft this is very usual. What was unusual is a high quality of the defence: with no exaggeration, it was one of the best defences I ever attended. Pieter managed not only to answer all the questions and keep the opponents at bay: he did so without telling any unjustified and/or scientifically ambigouos things. His propositions were both provocative and formulated in such a way that people with opposite views could sign them: Pieter could be indispensible in formation of Dutch government.
Yet I hope he would not rush to politics and stay in research: we all would profit form this.
nato ad Ancona, graduated today. I was in the commission and was surprised to learn that diamond dust is not at all toxic: I always thought it was a poison of choice in Middle Ages. Diego did quantum manipulation of NV centers in diamond in the group of Ronal Hanson and has produced a good harmonic thesis where everything was present: theorical background, very sucsessful experiment, a promising analysis of possible applications and even a bit of physics.
He's got a mark that is highest possible one in quantum transport group, 9. Good luck, Diego, with future research.
I did not think I would be watching a football match on TV. Last time I enjoyed this activity the TV sets were black-and-white (and Uruguay was on forth place, if I recall correctly). Yet the magic of collective madness works on me as well, and today I was watching.
Not bad. Was a real fight, was a sense of achievement. A deserved win.
student of Leo Kouwenhoven, has got this Ph. D. title today. He's fabricated, contacted and measured more than a thousand of nanowire samples, so their total length spans almost a centimeter. Close to the end of the Ph.D. term he's been awarded by – how he puts it – "intense happiness" of observation of single electron spin. Good work, good thesis, good person: the whole science is founded on shoulders of such people.
has taken place yesterday. Robert Kohn, president of Kavli Foundation, and Miyong Chung, vice-president of science programs, were visiting our institution, as you remember, Kavli institute of NanoScience. They wanted to meet and talk to some faculty, this gave the reason for the lunch.
The lunch was "foreign", that is, deviated in all aspects from traditional bisness Dutch lunch. Food was warn and tasty, milk was absent. Excellent fish.
Faculty were few, half were freshly-hired assistant professors from biological part, eager to talk about their research. We've started noticing that we've plenty of time and decided to introduce ourselfs. After introduction there was hardly any time left. Yet Robert Kohn told us of ways Kavli foundation likes its money to be spent, and some new initiatives. Everything made sense, it was a clear and informative presentation.

I'm going to start off by saying that I like wine. I like wine. However, I like my wine sweet and white. I tend to favour Moscato or sweet sparkling wines. Do not give me any of these bitter, dry, or crisp wines. Sweet and bubbly all the way.
Which is why, I thought I would try something different, something I turn my nose up at, but admittedly not continued to taste: Red wine.


playing with my energy of unfolding told.
when all seems emotionally fray.
to remind me that it will come to dine.
something that can not be undone.
Did I do everything that needed to be done?
No matter, the memories will last an eternal sum.
When will she really come?
an exciting thought as this life seems too short.

Oracle has lost a court case, where the Dutch government asked specifically for SAP software in their tender. The judge ruled that as the Dutch .gov allready uses SAP, they can ask for it and rule out other vendors if they want. Oracle won't dispute the ruling, as it works out well for them: the NL .gov can also specifically ask for Oracle products.
This is bad news for smaller software vendors who may want to develop alternatives, but won't be able to get in because they don't allready supply NL .gov. The tendering laws were implemented specifically to suppres this and give small and upcoming companies a chance. Well done Judge.
