Moneysprite pick the perfect day for their luxury sailing event.
Luxury Sailing Days don't get much better than this!
12 friends and guests, 3 crew, a 70 foot sailing yacht, sun and 20 – 25 knots of fresh south-westerly winds made for a superb day out on the water for Moneysprite and their guests.
The day started with heavy cloud and strong winds, but by the time we were on the water the sun was out and the winds were a perfect 20 knots, Money sprite had invited 12 guests on board for the day with a Champagne reception on arrival to make them feel at home.
Lunch at the Folly as always was very relaxed with great food, the afternoon sail was a much more relaxed affair with a brisk down wind sail back to the Hamble River and of course the home port of 'Odile' the Moody 66.
I just wanted to say a huge thank you for the sailing day on Friday on Odile of London.
From my initial enquiry you provided a very professional service in planning and delivering a great event with no fuss or stress. The boat was excellent and crew (Alex & Claire) were very friendly and helped make a wonderful day. We've received really positive feedback from our partners and colleagues who attended on the day as well.
Thanks for all your support and I'll be in touch shortly to organise another day.

Level Vodka by Absolut Vodka
Product Code: LEVEL-VODKA
Level Vodka by Absolut Vodka 750 ML Discontinued Hard to Find !
Level is Absolut's ultra premium vodka, it was launched in 2004 and is made from winter wheat. It is incredibly smooth, and was launched as a direct competitor to France's popular Grey Goose. Some would argue that Absolut has responded too late to the super premium vodka category launching it in 2004, when other like Skyy and Grey Goose have several years head start.
Level Is Achieved By A Proprietary Combination Of Continuous And Batch Distillation To Form A Perfect Balance Of Smoothness And Character. A New Level Of Vodka. V&S ABSOLUT SPIRITS announces the launch of Level, a new vodka of the highest quality. Level is the perfect balance of smoothness and character, which is achieved by a unique combination of two distillation methods, a new level of vodka. "Level is our long-awaited entry into the vibrant super-premium vodka segment in the US," said Bengt Baron, president, V&S ABSOLUT SPIRITS. "The innovative combination of distillation methods delivers a unique product with refined taste. We are confident consumers will agree Level was worth the wait." For the first time, a vodka is being produced by combining two distillation methods. This production process involves continuous distillation, which distills the vodka hundreds of times to ensure unparalleled smoothness, and batch distillation, where the vodka is produced batch-by-batch in pot stills under the attentive eye of expert distillers, which results in Levels refined taste. "Level is produced in Ahus, Sweden, to ensure it is of the highest quality, but it is a truly different product with its own identity," said Baron. "One taste and consumers will see it is a completely new level of vodka." The name Level communicates the vodka's point of difference the perfect balance of smoothness and character. This positioning also extends to the bottle, which is frosted, tall and slim with perfectly balanced proportions. It has a heavy base, and its front features a small silhouette of the ABSOLUT bottle.
The Absolut brand was created by Lars Ollsson Smith in 1879, when he sold a new variant of vodka using a different distillation process. In 1917, the vodka industry was nationalised by the Swedish government. The brand lingered for several decades like many state run enterprises. Then in 1979, the Absolut brand was reinstated, to market a new premium range of vodka. The production and bottling of Absolut takes place in Åhus Nöbbelöv in Sweden. This new range took off in popularity, thanks in large part to its classic advertising campaign, which became internationally renowned, and became a huge international success. Its marketing success showed that positioning was vital, in that the brand successfully crafted a niche the premium vodka category, one that never existed before. Absolut has enjoyed huge success in the market for premium vodka and is now the world's number one premium vodka brand. Acquired by the well known Pernod Ricard in 2008
In 2004, in an attempt to create a super premium brand of vodka, Absolut launched its latest brand 'Level'. To the chagrin of many vodka aficionados, Absolut believed it could create a premium brand of vodka, and command a super-premium price. Their Absolut Level brand is marketed as being extra pure. Absolute Level was launched in a slim, frosted tall bottle, which retained the silhouette of the iconic Absolut bottle. Level is an elongated version of the classic bottle design with a heavy base but has a more fresh, fruity and distinctive flavour than competitors offerings. Central to the firm's strategy is avoiding cannibalisation between the Absolut and Level brands. A bottle of Level would sell in the US for $30 a bottle, whereas Absolut would sell for $20 a bottle. It utilises the catch-line of the perfect blend of "smoothness and character". So people want to think they are buying the best, and use price, and the quality of the packaging as their primary inference into the quality of the product.

Chinese beer brand Tsingtao launched its national Dragon Masters Ping Pong experience tour with a bespoke fire-breathing, ball-shooting dragon created by LS-Live for client Mojo Fuel Ltd.
Tsingtao Dragon Masters capitalised on the latest bar-sport trend to create an engaging consumer facing activity in order to build awareness of the beer brand and connect with customers and retailers.
We turned Mojo Fuel's initial sketch into a realistic render and, using our on site set design and fabrication expertise, we created a custom dragon robot that housed a special motor to make it move and fire ping pong balls across the table.
We built a test model out of wood to ensure the motorised ping pong shooter could maneuver easily inside the parameters of the dragon's mouth. The dragon was constructed from laser cut aluminium profiles to give it a clean, sleek look and set off the LED lighting. We fitted a smoke machine inside its mouth along with some LED lighting, to give it a dramatic looking effect.

First in a new series of articles from expert and guest blogger, Steve Tendon, read on for "The Chain Observer – Episode 1, The Blockchain: the new foundation of economics".
Even today, well over 500 years from his work, the entire economic world order is based on double-entry bookkeeping. The economic activities of every business, corporation and nation are built on top of the foundations of double-entry bookkeeping. Without double-entry bookkeeping, contemporary businesses and nations would simply not exist.
It is not an exaggeration to claim that the invention of double-entry bookkeeping truly redefined history, and the entire development of modern economics.
In 2008 a similar revolution took place, though it is not yet widely acknowledged (yet): the invention of the Blockchain. The Blockchain is a mathematical invention that will affect the global economic order as much, if not even more, than Luca Pacioli's double-entry bookkeeping.
Luca Pacioli taught the fundamentals of double-entry bookkeeping: namely that every financial transaction is recorded in (at least) two accounts in the business's records, with equal and opposite effects. Since the time of Luca Pacioli, every business has kept their own books. That's why, when there are transacting parties, it often becomes necessary to reconcile the entries across the parties' different books. This could become necessary to find and correct errors, or to detect fraud, which is the essence of auditing.
The innovation afforded by the Blockchain is that all the distinct ledgers maintained by distinct businesses disappear. Instead, they are replaced – in concept and principle – by a single, global, shared, consistent and immutable ledger of timestamped entries, that spans the entire globe and covers the activities of all participating business. Such a ledger effectively resolves two of the central problems of financial transactions: reconciliation and auditability. The global ledger becomes effectively the single source of truth, with no need to reconcile or audit its entries. Its effects are disruptive in many ways.

Cannes is the second city of business tourism in France. Thanks to the Palais des Festivals et des Congrès, to the skills of its teams, its services and its leading-edge equipment, Cannes strengthens its attractiveness and offers global visibility which many are envious. It is an excellent position. In a competitive marketplace where the stakes are not only local, but also international, the Palais des Festivals must be different by relying on a qualified policy and sustainable development.
A proactive approach already rewarded, the Palais became in 2009 the first European center triple certified. Since then the Palais made a new commitment which is the renewal of its quadruple ISO certification, they are ISO 9001 - ISO 14001 - OHS18001 and ISO 26000.
Today, the choice of Cannes and its main event structure also becomes an eco-responsible act for all the decision makers.
• Corporate Social Responsibility (respect of human rights, child protection, prevention of corruption, equal opportunity, transparency of practices, societal commitments at the local level).
• Environment (sorting of waste, pollution control of wastewater, reduction of CO2 emissions, control of water consumption, electricity and paper).
This commitment for sustainable development (Corporate Responsibility - Quality - Safety - Health - Environment) includes local and international stakes, but also human. Strengthen our image while improving our competitiveness is valuable only with the eco-citizen development of our company, an approach which is done in osmosis with the involvement and the total mobilization and the enhancement of our personnel.
Our company has developed a culture of the quality of service which is supported not only on the establishment of a software Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) dedicated to the management of events, but also on the permanent commitment of employees, a respect for the environment by the organization of the sorting of waste and on an axis health-safety at work through the many training courses.
With 7 values, Ethics, Respect, Cohesion, Professionalism, Creativity, Performance and Ambition which are the foundation of the culture of our company, the Palais des Festivals et des Congrès in Cannes, in order to formalize its commitment and to affirm a continuous improvement of its performance, has decided to engage since 2008 a certification proces based on international standards that are the standards ISO 9001 (Quality), ISO 14001 (Environment), OHSAS 18001 ( Health/Security ), ISO 26000 (Corporate Social Responsibility) and by the signing of the Ethics Chart on June 16, 2008.
The Palais des Festivals et des Congrès obtained the renewal of its triple certification to ISO standards 9001, 14,001 and 18,001, in November 2012. The audit control of October 2014, attests to the good performance of these three certifications.
In addition, the SEMEC has been received to the ISO 26 000, corresponding to the Corporate Social Responsibility of the Company, and has thus reached a new threshold of excellence. The policy of environmental management is in compliance with the standards and the objectives defined by the General Manager's Office.
- Bringing our employees closer together.
- Increasing our social and solidarity actions.

Le Northrop T-38 Talon est un avion d'entraînement construit aux États-Unis durant les années 1960. Utilisé pour former les pilotes militaires et les astronautes de la NASA, il fut le premier avion d'entraînement supersonique et a été produit à plus de . Encore largement en service en 2021, il est considéré comme l'un des avions supersoniques les plus sûrs. On estime que plus de  ont été formés avec cet appareil.

Conception
Dessiné par Edgar Schmued, le T-38 Talon est issu du même projet que celui qui donna naissance au Northrop F-5 Freedom Fighter (le N-156T) mais n'est pas un F-5 biplace comme on pourrait le croire. Cet avion a en fait été commandé dès 1956 par l'US Air Force et le premier prototype fit son vol inaugural en mars 1959, quelques mois avant celui du F-5 dont le développement n'a commencé qu'en 1958 et qui intègre un certain nombre de modifications par rapport au T-38.

Les premiers exemplaires de série furent livrés à partir de 1961 et la production continua jusqu'en 1972. Un total de  ont été construits, dont certains exportés. Aux États-Unis, le T-38 est utilisé à la fois par l'US Air Force et par l'US Navy, ainsi que par la NASA. Il a équipé la patrouille acrobatique des Thunderbirds de 1974 à 1983.

Un premier programme de prolongation de la durée de vie des appareils en plusieurs phases (nommé Pacer Classic) a été lancé en 1984, consistant à réviser la structure de l'avion et à changer les réacteurs. Il a été prolongé par une remise à niveau de toute l'électronique de bord (installation d'un viseur tête haute, d'un GPS, etc.) qui a donné naissance à la version T-38C que l'US Air Force utilise à partir de 2003 et compte bien conserver jusqu'aux années 2020.

Il sera remplacé aux États-Unis par le Boeing T-7 Red Hawk qui doit entrer en service en 2022

THE YCEO: What are some psychological tricks to improve decision making?
THE YCEO July 31, 2019 0
Decision making is easy when you have all the facts, previous experience and thinking logically. But it is not possible to bump into a situation where you are not backed up by logic, data and previous experience. Dealing with such a situation requires making a decision based on gut and intuition.
Nobody wants to make a bad decision but your ability to make a good decision is largely dependent on your decision-making ability. This usually improves with time but only after you've made few decisions in life and faced some repercussions. The decision making power improves with experience.
What are the 3 most important psychological tricks to improve decision making? Let's take a look.
1. Think, Relax and Take a Rest.
The ideal way of making a decision is not to make it instantly, instead, take your time. Decisions should only be made when you are well-rested, have slept well.
According to Kahneman, complex thinking requires attention, motivation, and self-control. Such resources are usually limited and depleted when the body is worn out, you have not slept well and are tired.
Never make a decision when you are tensed, worried, worn out, haven't slept and extremely tired — mentally and physically.
2. It's not always a race against the time.
Take your time, think about your decision. When we are in a rush, we often jump to factless conclusions that are typically biased or baseless. We should carefully think through the facts and information and if no such data is present, the best is to make a decision based on the nearest possible data available to the topic.
Most importantly, there should be no rush in the decision-making process. Decisions made in haze often result in a disaster.
3. Be open to all possibilities.
Remember the story of a FLY that gets stuck in a car. Since it only looks for a uni-direction way out, it means; it does not look around for further possibilities to escape the car.
When you are making an important decision in life. Be open to all possibilities. Look around, there may be more dimensions to an element than what you are looking at and by exploring all options, you can make a better decision.

Before St. Benedict's Prep was a soccer universe unto itself, sucking players and notoriety and titles into its massive orbit, the school was a sleepy preparatory academy situated on the corner of the old High Street and Springfield in downtown Newark, N.J. Back then it was known more for the Benedictine monks who'd roamed the halls for more than a century than anything soccer related.
A notorious helicopter ride helped change that forever.
Tab Ramos is a colossus at St. Benedict's, a statuesque figure that altered the school's soccer fortunes forever. The player with skill for days came to the school in the early 80's when St. Benedict's was a pinprick on the national high school soccer landscape.
The school had never won anything on a state level, let alone a national one. But by Ramos' junior year in 1982, he'd helped the school get to the doorstep of a state championship before going on national team duty in Acapulco, Mexico that November.
St. Benedict's wanted its star back for the start of the postseason and its push for a first ever state title. When Ramos missed his flight back, the school started to panic. And then the gears of ingenuity groaned into life.
Headmaster Edwin Leahy made an arrangement for Ramos to be flown from Acapulco in the dead of night and then helicoptered from LaGuardia Airport to Newark so he didn't miss the game. Desperate times, desperate measures.
Ramos swooped in on his fiberglass chariot just in time, scoring five goals - including the 100th of his career - and recording four assists in a 10-0 win. Later that fall, St. Benedict's won its first state title with Ramos driving the bus.
"The game as a whole in this country wasn't where it is now," says St. Benedict's coach Jim Wandling. "Back then Tab stood out like a sore thumb based on his abilities in the game."
The story itself is legend in the halls of St. Benedict's, if for no other reason than because it provided the initial jumpstart for St. Benedict's emergence as perhaps the most accomplished high school soccer program in the nation's history. In 1985, a year after Ramos left for NC State, Rick Jacobs took over as head coach and began an unprecedented 25-year run. Five years after Jacobs took over, St. Benedict's was the year-end No. 1 in the nation for the first time with an impressive cast of Wandling, Claudio Reyna and Gregg Berhalter leading the way.
Since 1985, the St. Benedict's Prep boys soccer program is 580-29-13. There have been eight occasions when the program was ranked the year-end No. 1 in the nation by a national ranking service over that span. Since Ramos helped St. Benedict's to its first state title, the team has won it 25 more times, and they've won the New Jersey prep state championship every season for the last 24 years.
And yet the bar continues to climb. Since Jacobs passed the baton to his former protégée before the 2010 season, St. Benedict's has entered an era of prosperity verging on the historic. After a 20-2-0 season in 2010, Wandling has guided the Gray Bees to two consecutive undefeated seasons and back-to-back NSCAA No. 1 overall fall national rankings.
The program entered the 2013 season sitting on 54 consecutive wins, and they snapped the state record of 57 earlier this season that St. Benedict's set under Jacobs in the late 90's. Now the program is tracking the national wins record. And it's close.
As the 2013 season heads deep into its first month, the NSCAA national No. 1 Gray Bees have always maintained their ability beat the state record. The national record of 74 straight is in their sights, too.
"We're looking forward to breaking the records," said sophomore captain Johnny Antunes, who chose St. Benedict's over the New York Red Bulls' highly touted U16 academy team. "We have a lot of pressure, but I think we're going to do it this year. We're going to break the record."
St. Benedict's is among the most unique schools of its kind anywhere in the country. Founded in 1868 in inner-city Newark by a group of Benedictine monks from the Newark Abbey, the school quietly set about its work educating the youth of the city. In the interim, it mirrored the dramatic rise, fall and rebirth of an embattled 20th century city. In 1967, monks watched from the school's roof as riots ripped apart the city, and the school closed in 1972 amid the city's darkest days.
A year later, the school reopened with a skeleton crew running the show, gradually rebuilding it into a beacon for students not only in this country but from others as well. Of the nearly 600 students at St. Benedict's, more than 50 hail from abroad. The soccer team has had its share. Haitian Christiano Francois was the team's talisman during its unbeaten run last year, and he polished an outstanding freshman campaign at Maryland last season.
Wandling is a product of Jacobs' tutelage, which means an emphasis on the team ethic. During the preseason, the team runs through two field sessions per day, a team-building meeting and a fitness session to end the day. Right now, that's the Insanity program. Fusing his players together through common hardship is a hallmark of how Wandling wants his program built.
"There's been a culture that's been defined here over the last 25 years, both on the field and within our Benedict's community here that really allows us to use athletics as a vehicle to instill certain character traits in guys," Wandling says. "The program we run here, we dedicate a lot of time to what we do on the field, but we dedicate a whole lot of time to what we do in classrooms regarding team building. There's a tradition here of fantastic soccer having come through St. Benedict's."
Wandling's culture of brotherhood in the St. Benedict's locker room has clearly rubbed off on the field. The Gray Bees haven't just won nearly 60 straight games. They've destroyed most of those opponents.
The closest St. Benedict's has come to losing the last two years? Senior captain Tyler Pinho pauses a moment, mulling the thought before picking out a game against Old Bridge in 2011. St. Benedict's had three starters out injured and only led 2-1 with about 15 minutes left. Within a span of the next 10 minutes, St. Benedict's poured on three more goals.
That moment when Pinho felt like St. Benedict's was closest to losing a game during their current run? The Gray Bees never trailed and won it 5-1.
"If it gets to halftime and we're even tied, you know that second half we're coming out with a little extra something in our stomachs," said Pinho, who's entertaining offers from the likes of Michigan, St. John's and Rutgers. "It's just because we know what we have on the line for all these years."
For now, St. Benedict's will continue to churn out top-level college talent in a soccer world that continues to pull more and more players toward elite club soccer and away from high school. St. Benedict's is a stalwart for the old way. And it's players, in search of the most coveted record in the nation, recognize there's something unique, even special about the Gray Bee way of doing things.
"At Benedict's, it's always a set tradition that it's not just a team, but that everybody on that team is your brother. It's a family," says Pinho. "Instead of spending a lot of time with our real families, all the time we spend with our team makes up for it. All that team-building and all that time of being together is what brings a team together where it puts everybody onto one page. I think that's what leads to our success."

Just before the Thanksgiving holiday, the Environmental Protection Agency revoked its controversial approval of a novel herbicide mix, sending shares of its maker, chemical giant Dow, down nearly 3 percent in Wednesday trading.
The product, Enlist Duo, is the signature weed-killing cocktail of Dow AgroScience, Dow's ag subsidiary. It's composed of two endocrine-disrupting chemicals, 2-4-D and glypohosate, that have landed on the World Health Organization's lists of "possible" and "probable" carcinogens, respectively. Dow markets it for use alongside corn and soybean varieties that have been genetically engineered to withstand the combined herbicides, to counter the rapid rise of weeds that have evolved to resist glyphosate alone. Approved by the EPA last year, Enlist Duo is the company's "crown jewel," a Wall Street analyst recently told The Wall Street Journal. The US Department of Agriculture thinks farmers will embrace it rapidly—it will boost 2,4-D use by as much as 600 percent by 2020, the agency projects.
How inconvenient for Dow's shareholders, then, that the EPA has changed its mind. Last Tuesday, the agency petitioned the Ninth US Circuit Court of Appeals to revoke its approval of Enlist Duo, temporarily barring farmers from using it.

International tax news itemHMRC Disclosure Facility With Isle Of ManFriday 22nd February 2013
HMRC Disclosure Facility With Isle Of Man
Friday 22nd February 2013
HMRC has recently signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the Isle of Man which establishes a new disclosure facility [DF]. This will allow investors with accounts in the Isle of Man to come forward and settle outstanding tax liabilities.
Under the terms of the Memorandum of Understanding, HMRC will from 6 April 2013 until 30 September 2016 make available a bespoke scheme to persons eligible to participate in it and assist those persons in complying with their obligations to HMRC.
To support the objectives of the DF, the IOM Government will require financial intermediaries to contact relevant persons to advise them of the DF before 31 December 2013, to remind them about the DF during the six month period ending 30 September 2016, and to ensure adherence to legislation for the prevention on money laundering.
HMRC and the IOM Government have agreed to provide, through a joint declaration, exchange of letters, issuance of FAQs and answers, written guidance on IOM investment and wealth management structures and their treatment as a general matter by HMRC, with a view to providing clarification to relevant persons investing in the IOM.
Any tax withheld under the Agreement between the UK and the IOM providing for measures equivalent to those laid down in the EU Savings Directive will be creditable and credited against any UK tax due under the DF.
The obligations of an eligible person to report any interest in relevant property to HMRC and to account for any UK tax in relation to it will be treated as satisfied only if full and unprompted disclosure is made in respect of the relevant property and full UK tax, interest and applicable penalties are paid thereon.
HMRC may amend or withdraw the DF by giving three months notice to the IOM Government.

A water damage floor repair that we had completed in Evanston.
One of the most common is a water damaged floor. This can be the rult of many mishaps, ranging from a leaking pipe to a spilled drink to a leaking roof to the absolute worst, a flash flood. A water damage floor needs to be inspected, and covering materials unraveled. Because wood rot and other damage may actually be beneath a carpet or other covering, you may not notice the damage until it is very bad.
Rotten wood will be more spongy than hard wood, and should not echo well if knocked. Sometimes there is no evidence of water damage, and yet you might expect it because something was spilled there, or repeatedly.
professional help is a very intelligent option for this type of project. A professional knows the many complex steps and safety proceedures that are necessary.
We invite you to get in touch with us. We have many flooring options and functional and functional for your condo, rental or house.

Abstract: Stra13, a basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) transcription factor is involved in myriad biological functions including cellular growth arrest, differentiation and senescence. However, the mechanisms by which its transcriptional activity and function are regulated remain unclear. In this study, we provide evidence that post-translational modification of Stra13 by Small Ubiquitin-like Modifier (SUMO) dramatically potentiates its ability to transcriptionally repress cyclin D1 and mediate G1 cell cycle arrest in fibroblast cells. Mutation of SUMO acceptor lysines 159 and 279 located in the C-terminal repression domain has no impact on nuclear localization; however, it abrogates association with the co-repressor histone deacetylase 1 (HDAC1), attenuates repression of cyclin D1, and prevents Stra13-mediated growth suppression. HDAC1, which promotes cellular proliferation and cell cycle progression, antagonizes Stra13 sumoylation-dependent growth arrest. Our results uncover an unidentified regulatory axis between Stra13 and HDAC1 in progression through the G1/S phase of the cell cycle, and provide new mechanistic insights into regulation of Stra13-mediated transcriptional repression by sumoylation. © 2012 Wang et al.

Hundreds of ambulances waited more than 30 minutes to handover patients at Coventry and Warwickshire hospitals' A&Es
Ben Eccleston
Many patients are having to wait more than double the target time for an ambulance
Long ambulance queues, busy A&Es, long waiting times and a struggle to find beds in NHS hospitals.
That's the situation in emergency care that doctor's groups have described as "dire", with fears that winter will bring a huge rise in Covid cases.
Demand on NHS resources meant 395 ambulances had to wait more than 30 minutes to handover patients at Coventry and Warwickshire hospitals' A&Es last week (25.4 per cent), including 52 that had to wait for more than an hour (3.3 per cent).
READ MORE: Three Omicron cases discovered in Coventry as officials warn of more
That's the equivalent of one in four ambulances facing a wait of more than half-an-hour, with one in 30 waiting more than an hour in the week to December 5.
The target is for handovers to take under 15 minutes.
Waiting times have worsened compared to the figures for the same week (ending December 6) last year.
In the equivalent week last year, 304 ambulances waited more than 30 minutes (21.7 per cent), with 29 waiting more than an hour (2.1 per cent).
Waits in A&E were also long for patients, with 66.1 per cent at South Warwickshire NHS Trust waiting less than four hours from arrival to admission, discharge or transfer.
It was 70.5 per cent at University Hospitals Coventry and Warwickshire NHS Trust and 79.5 per cent at George Eliot Hospital NHS Trust.
Delays to discharges in other parts of the hospital can make it more difficult to admit people from A&E.
On Sunday, December 5, Coventry and Warwickshire hospitals, excluding George Eliot Hospital, had 358 beds occupied by patients who no longer needed to be in hospital, but who hadn't been discharged.
That was the equivalent of 18.9 per cent of the general and acute and adult critical care beds across the trusts.
A&Es across England agreed to temporarily divert patients to other A&E departments to relieve pressure 25 times in the week ending December 5.
That compares to 18 temporary A&E diverts in the equivalent week last year.

There were also 19,366 ambulances that had to wait more than 30 minutes to handover patients at A&Es last week (23.1 per cent), including 8,211 waiting more than an hour (9.8 per cent).
That was up from 9,956 ambulances waiting more than 30 minutes (11 per cent) last year, with 2,454 waiting more than an hour (2.7 per cent). Inside A&Es, just 74 per cent of patients waited less than four hours.
Among those who were admitted, 10,646 waited more than 12 hours for a bed, the highest number on record.
Dr Simon Walsh, BMA consultants committee deputy chairman, said this winter was likely to be the most difficult those working on the frontline had ever faced, with staff very worried about the impact on patients.
He said: "In emergency departments this winter, the problems are dire.
"Today's data shows that, in November, we had a record-high number of patients waiting longer than 12 hours on trolleys.
"It's clear that hospitals simply do not have the capacity to cope, with problems discharging patients and moving people to wards all having a knock-on effect that ultimately leads to these delays in emergency departments and indeed ambulance services.
"We know this is a huge problem for our members, with three-quarters of doctors with relevant experience telling a recent survey that discharging patients, including to adult social care, has become more difficult in the last year – and more than eight in 10 saying they are experiencing more delays to admission compared to one year ago.
"This is even before we consider the impact of a potential further spike in Covid-related hospitalisations in the coming weeks."

The emails come out twice a day with the latest news and what's on stories from across Coventry.
Across England, on average, there were 10,500 patients each day last week who no longer needed to be in hospital but were not discharged that day, with pressures outside hospitals also high.
This means that more than one in 10 beds were occupied by patients who were medically fit to leave.
President of the Royal College of Emergency Medicine, Dr Katherine Henderson, said: "Every part of the patient journey through emergency care is broken. In a different time, this would be a scandal.
"With one in 10 beds occupied by patients who are ready to leave, the need for better availability of social care has never been more apparent.
"We also need to see the reinstatement of beds, along with a long-term plan to grow the staff to go with them. These crucial actions – while challenging – are long overdue and the situation is dire.
"As ever Trusts must do all they can to boost capacity, and system-wide we need to see the implementation of metrics that will improve patient flow. We are struggling to make a 95% target on 12 hour waits, let alone four hours, so now is the time for us to implement metrics that unlock the entire patient journey, rather than just one part of it."
NHS national medical director Professor Stephen Powis said NHS staff were continuing to address the Covid backlog in the face of sustained pressure on urgent and emergency care.
He said: "As we head into a very challenging winter, we are working with partners in social care to get as many patients who are fit to do so home for Christmas, which is right for them and their families as well as freeing up beds.
"There is much we do not know about Omicron but experts advise that vaccines will still help in our fight against the virus.
"Thanks to the efforts of staff and volunteers the NHS Covid vaccination programme has delivered more than 100 million jabs, so do come forward when it is your turn."

The announcement was made at the historic Stonewall/American Life building, 2308 Fourth Ave. North, which has been vacant for 36 years. A private investor will renovate the building into 140 workforce housing units. Work on the building is to begin within 45 days. Construction is slated to be complete 14 months after that. The average rent for an apartment will be about $900, said Ed Ticheli, the building's owner.
The project was made possible through several efforts, including securing Alabama Historical Tax Credits and city infrastructure improvements. Five of the units will be reserved for a partnership with the Dannon Project and under- and unemployed residents it serves.
The Opportunity Zone program provides tax advantages for investments in "opportunity zones," which are census tracts that were nominated by the governor of each state and certified by the U.S. Department of the Treasury.
The BIG Partnership is an innovative structure that will drive investment into Birmingham's 24 Opportunity Zones, designated by Alabama Gov. Kay Ivey and certified by the U.S. Department of the Treasury.
The city's primary role in the BIG Partnership is to serve as a facilitator between the private, philanthropic, academic and civic sectors as well as neighborhood leadership to take action for inclusive and sustainable community development. Led by the city's Department of Innovation and Economic Opportunity, the city and its private sector partners will work with civic leaders to discover and develop community and economic development projects that could be supported through Opportunity Zone Funding.
Josh Carpenter, director of the city's Innovation and Economic Opportunity, added: "The BIG Partnership is another way that Birmingham is telling the nation that we are open for business.
The Community Investment Board (CIB), a board comprised of 11 civic leaders from all nine council districts, will identify projects that align with their community's needs and priorities to bring residents' voices to the table as Opportunity Zone projects unfold.
The City of Birmingham, in partnership with the CIB and Opportunity Alabama, also announced an educational campaign to empower residents to participate in the BIG Partnership. By June 1, 2020, the BIG team, Opportunity Alabama, and the city will train 500 residents on the fundamentals of Opportunity Zones.
The linchpin of the partnership is the Investment Board (IB) and the Public Benefit Corporation (PBC) that they will oversee. The PBC is privately managed and autonomous. Its goal is to facilitate sponsorship of transformational Opportunity Zone projects that enhance the standard of life of Birmingham's residents. The Investment Board is comprised of world-class business leaders who are also deeply invested in Birmingham's growth and renewal to manage.
The website for the BIG Partnership may be found at www.birminghamoz.org.
Built in 1925, the Stonewall Building initially housed the Birmingham City Commission after a 1925 fire at Birmingham City Hall forced the commission to move from City Hall that year. In 1947, the FBI Birmingham division moved into the building. In 1962, it became the headquarters for the American Life Insurance Co. It later became home to the Stonewall Insurance Co. The building's owner declared bankruptcy in 1983, and it has been vacant since. It is located at 2308 Fourth Ave. North.

Like his brethren Zionists, BHL also insists upon imposing a false demarcation between the 'kosher Muslims' and the 'bad ones.' In support, Levy recycles the false Zionist dichotomy between 'Islam' and 'Islamism.' But there is no such dichotomy. As in Judaism, in Islam there is no separation between the civil and the religious. Yet unlike the Jews, in Islam there is no such thing as a secular Muslim. Jews often drop God but retain their Jewish identity. When a Muslim stops believing in Allah, he or she stops being a Muslim. Thus the delusional dichotomy between Islam and Islamism is nothing but a Jewish projection--an attempt to Zionise the Muslim.

Eva Mendes Up Close and Personal
by Milica Jaric September 15, 2019, 1:49 pm 24 Views
Eva Mendes and Ryan Gosling are a notoriously private couple. We know that they have two daughters and they most likely aren't married. Eva Mendes appeared on Access Daily and did something unusual: she talked about her children and her partner.

Speaking about her kids, Mendes said: " Oh gosh, it's so fun and beautiful and maddening. It's maddening. It's so hard, of course. But it's like that feeling of like, really, you end your day, you put them to bed, and Ryan and I kind of look at each other like, 'We did it, we did it. We came out relatively unscathed, you know?"
The Place Beyond the Pines
Esmeralda, 5, and Amada, 3 still don't have the acting bug. The actress explained: "Right now, they have every bug. They just like a lot of arts and crafts, a lot of painting. We have instruments around. They pick them up, and we can't say they actually play anything, but you know, it's just a playful environment, and it's a lot of fun but who knows?"
Eva Mendes and Ryan Gosling
As for Ryan Gosling, and their date night, Mendes did say that it takes a lot of work to make that alone time. "Luckily, we have a lot of family support. My family lives here. His family comes in. They live in Canada, but they come in all the time and stay for a very long time, and it's very welcomed. And so we have that support," she added.
Would she love to work again with Gosling? Absolutely! Mendes is still head over heels over her partner: "He's just such a creative genius," she said. "There's always stuff going on there, but I would love to at any time. I would audition for him any day so—that was a joke. I don't need to audition for him." That said, Mendes told the hosts she "loved" the experience working with him before."
Eva Mendes and Ryan Gosling met in 2012 while filming The Place Beyond the Pines. They stayed away from the public eye, but after two girls and seven years together, they seem to be more comfortable with the attention. Yes, the couple is refreshingly normal, especially for Hollywood standards. Good for them!
