The Samsung NX30 is a strong contender in the upper end of the mirrorless interchangeable lens camera category. It offers plenty of great photography features, including all of the advanced shooting modes you'd expect, along with fast performance and very good image quality. The physical design of the NX30 is outstanding, with plenty of buttons and a right-hand grip that make this model feel a bit like a DSLR, but with a thin enough camera body that it still takes advantage of its mirrorless design. Add in an electronic viewfinder, touch screen display that's articulated, and built-in wireless connectivity options, and the NX30 has all the bells and whistles you could want in an interchangeable lens camera. The starting price with a kit lens is a bit high, and video quality could be better, but the NX30 is a very nice Samsung ILC offering. Read more in our Full Conclusion.
At the beginning of 2014, Samsung's award-winning NX-series got a new sibling soon, in the form of the NX30. It features a 16MP CMOS image sensor mated to the DRIMeIV Image Processor for faster shooting (1/8000 sec shutter and 9 FPS continuous shooting), improved performance in lower lighting conditions, as well as the the NX AF (Auto Focus) System II for a quicker and more even focus. In terms of viewfinders, there are two. The first is a Tiltable Electronic Viewfinder (2.359K dots); the second a 3.0-inch Super AMOLED Swivel and Touch Display. If you need to shoot video, the NX30 has you covered. It can not only record Full HD 1080p movies in 2D, but also in full stereo 3D (with the optional 45mm F/1.8 2D/3D lens). And, there's a microphone input and Live HD Streaming, via the HDMI output, to connect an external monitor or to record footage directly to an external recording device.
The NX30 also boasts the ability to customize your settings, thanks to two Custom Modes on the dial. And, with i-Function and i-Function Plus, shutterbugs of all experience levels can access certain settings, like shutter speed or aperture, at the touch of a button. You can even customize and reprogram existing buttons.
"The 'Tag & Go' function lets users tap and share memories instantly and easily, pairing the NX30 with NFC enabled smartphones and tablets. The Photo Beam feature allows the transfer of an image or video to a smartphone or tablet by simply touching the two devices together with no other configuration needed. MobileLink lets users select multiple images to send to four distinct smart devices at one time, so everyone can treasure photos without the need to take repetitive shots on each individual device. AutoShare automatically sends every photo you take instantly to your smartphone or tablet and the Remote Viewfinder Pro function enables control of the NX30 from a smartphone, allowing the user to zoom and snap shots remotely yet still have full visibility of the scene, opening up new photographic possibilities. Manual settings can still be accessed, including shutter speed and aperture, so that photographers can retain camera control yet have another option as to how they want to frame their shot."
Finally, just like the newly announced GALAXY Camera 2, the NX30 comes pre-loaded with the Dropbox app, so users can instantly backup files in the cloud. At this time, it's not clear if buying the NX30 earns you extra free storage, or just the standard amount given to all new customers, which is around 5GB.
The NX30 is available now, with a suggested retail price of $999.99. See our buy box in the upper right hand corner of this page to see the best pricing currently online.

The Telegraph Bagbazar Festival: 'The Heritage Boat Ride'
Well the natural fisticuffs, the "ticket-centric-paucity" and the transport unavailability couldn't dent into our propensity....we did make it large. The 4-hour long heritage boat ride, as a part of the Telegraph Bagbazar Festival, dazzled us to the core...the experience was fascinating to say the least; and I guess I'm not overstating when I say that our "Mayurpankhi" transcended the natural nefariousness to script a myriad, the "Drifting myriad"...let's take a look at some of the snapshots from the 'excursion'.
The Heritage Boat Ride: That's how it started, my friend...the 'illustrious' ride to savor forever....
The Heritage Boat Ride: That's our 'beloved' Mayurpankhi alright...the carrier, my friend
The Heritage Boat Ride: That's when the rest of Kolkata was sinking into a deep slumber...
The Heritage Boat Ride: The murkiness and the gloom didn't really make an impact.....
The Heritage Boat Ride: That's our glazed deck, on the top floor of the "Mayurpankhi"..
The Heritage Boat Ride: That's when we were passing by the chronicled Dakshineshwar mandir...
The Heritage Boat Ride: Those historic structures looked refreshingly beautiful, baked in the rain...
The Heritage Boat Ride: There was "freshness" in the air, it's a different experience altogether...
The Heritage Boat Ride: And you would always have a "solitary reaper" in her melancholy self...
The Heritage Boat Ride: Padmashree Rita Ganguly mesmerized us with her mellifluous chants..
The Heritage Boat Ride: As I said, the Natural barriers wouldn't hold us back....it just couldn't!
The Heritage Boat Ride: The Mayurpankhi was not merely a carrier, there was an artistic bend...
The Heritage Boat Ride: Yo! Bolly directors you got an idea for your next movie poster ;)

Philly courts to force visitors to lock cell phones in sealed pouches
By Jerry Gaul
Courts Technology
New restrictions will soon be in place at Philadelphia courtrooms to crack down on witness intimidation by preventing visitors from accessing cell phones.
The First Judicial District of Pennsylvania announced Thursday that most visitors will be required to place their mobile devices in magnetically-sealed pouches upon entry to the Juanita Kidd Stout Center for Criminal Justice in Center City. The rule goes into effect April 3.

Video: Tour a dystopian 'dead mall' in Pennsylvania
6ABC meteorologist Cecily Tynan explains why she isn't running Broad Street this year
Court officials hope to reduce instances of witness intimidation and other courtroom disruptions.
Judge Jacqueline F. Allen said the guidelines will allow the public to keep their personal belongings with them while the court conducts its business.
"The proliferation of mobile devices throughout society has given rise to safety and security concerns in our courtrooms," Allen said.
The restrictions apply to all mobile computing and telecommunication devices. Exceptions will be in place for people with disabilities and individuals who have job responsibilities inside the courthouse, including judges, attorneys, jurors, law enforcement personnel and media members.
The pouches, which were created by Yondr, will be distributed and collected by the sheriff's office. Visitors will be able to carry the pouch with them inside the courthouse but will be unable to access their phone. Users must have their sealed pouch unlocked before leaving the building.
"The new pouch is a functional, simple solution that eliminates the need to collect and store phones of all those entering the courthouse." Judge Marsha H. Neifield said.
Yondr, a San Francisco-based company, developed the technology to give music artists and other organizations the ability to have phone-free events.
"While we realize there may be some concerns about the new restrictions, we believe we have found a realistic way to increase safety in our courthouse without placing too much of a burden on the people we serve," Judge Sheila Woods-Skipper said.

Yes hes back again & this year his 2012 challenge is even more crazy than last year!!
For several years Stuart has devised a 'Mad Fool' task that he does to raise money for Macmillan Cancer Support. His past challenges have included cycling on a replica Penny Farthing from Lands End to John O'Groats and Kayaking across the channel from France to Coventry , he suspended himself, David Blaine style, inside a Perspex box suspended above Broadgate in Coventry city centre for a week & last year he ran 7 marathons in 7 days in a giant hamster wheel!
Over the last year Stuart Kettell has meticulous calculated, plotted & planned this year's 2012 "MAD Fool" challenge, aimed to raise money & awareness for Macmillan Cancer Support.
His Challenge started at 12pm Saturday 3rd of March & continues until midday Saturday 10th March & can be found in West Orchards Shopping Centre in Coventry.
As with previous years I was happy to photograph the launch & will be photographing Stuart's mad challenge through out the week.
+ please please help him reach his target for Macmillan by texting your donation. Text STUK50 to 70070 with the amount £1-£10. or go & see him in West Orchards … you can't miss him … he's dressed all in green, has green hair … oh … & is being dangled 30ft in the air by a massive multicoloured cluster of 25 x 8ft helium filled weather balloons !!!
I had the pleasure of photographing some wonderful Weddings right through until two days before the New Year. In between my weddings I've had the opportunity to photograph a number of families as well as being back at the Birmingham Hilton Metropole with their 2011 Christmas & New Year events & ball.
One of the pleasures in doing what I do is that I get to meet really fun people. Sometimes they are people who I work with. Stuart Kettell who runs Kettell Video Productions in Coventry is one of these people and he introduced me to his annual charity fund raising events for Macmillan Cancer Support. For several years Stuart has devised a 'Mad Fool' task that he does to raise money for Macmillan Cancer Support. His past challenges have included cycling on a replica Penny Farthing from Lands End to John O'Groats and Kayaking across the channel from France to Coventry and last year he suspended himself, David Blaine style, inside a Perspex box suspended above Broadgate in Coventry city centre for a week. In the last two years I've also started to support Macmillan Cancer Support with my photography and I now provide the official photography and some graphic design work for Stuart's Challenges (free of charge, of course).
Unusual Eh? So what was it all about? Well, the idea was for Stuart to run a marathon every day for a week inside a giant hamster wheel. If that wasn't enough to spark some interest he wanted the hamster wheel to be balanced on one end of a giant See-Saw. On the other end there would be a donation pot for the people of Coventry to make donations towards Macmillan Cancer Support. As the donations increased the see-saw would start to tip and (hopefully!) on day 7 with around £7000 in the pot the wheel would be lifted up.
Stuart spent months training inside the wheel on his driveway and I helped with some of the promotional photographs in the weeks leading up to the actual event in Broadgate, Coventry. Finally, the day arrived for the challenge to begin on a sunny Sunday March 20th ……..
He may be a bit mad but he really doesn't bite, you know!
Whenever I'm covering any event, whether it be for charity such as Macmillan Cancer Support or perhaps for a business corporate event, I'm always mindful of the need to capture not only the activities and emotions of the event but also the reasons behind it. After all, Stuart was doing a fantastic job raising money for Macmillan Cancer support and he was raising awareness of the important work they do too.
It was really nice that Stuart gets support from local celebrities. In this case Roisin and John Dalziel (above) from the JD show on local commercial radio station, Mercia FM. In fact, the local radio stations (Mercia FM, Touch FM and BBC Coventry and Warwickshire) all took a firm interest and were very encouraging with their live interviews and raising awareness all week.
Stuart excelled himself this year by raising enough awareness to be invited onto ITV's Daybreak with Adrian Chiles & Christine Bleakley and 'Britain's Got Talent'. Needless to say, running in a wheel in a giant hamster costume is unlikely to win over any talent scouts but it was great for publicity for the challenge and ultimately great for Macmillan Cancer Support. He asked me if I could help out with Photoshop again and I created this banner for Stuart to display near to the wheel.
So what does a 6 Foot, 46 year old marathon-running hamster look like? …. Well, what did you think he'd look like? …..
So here I am (above) proving that I was there! By the way, I designed the green sweatshirt just to make myself look a little more official. At least I wasn't completely over shadowed by the main attraction!
And yes – hamsters do get hot when they're running and they do need a drink! Hamster owners … never forget to check the bottle!
It's also true to say that human hamsters get a little lonely unless they've got other hamsters to talk to. This little fella did his bit to keep Staurt company!
I'm told that running in the wheel is not quite the same as running on a flat surface, mostly due to the angle that your feet hit the wheel. Stuart went through real pain on some days and I spent one day calling every sports therapist that I could find to ask for their help. Luckily we managed to get some really good advice each evening and some really helpful (often painful) sports massages at the end of each day helped to keep him going.
So, Did the Mad fool make it? Did the mad fool manage to complete his 7 marathons in his hamster wheel?
And finally, the smiles said it all. I'm sure, for a brief moment, Stuart was glad it was all over! There's no doubt he'll be back with another mad challenge though ….. probably next year. Who knows what he'll be doing next? ….. I DO!
Well done Stuart – I'm really looking forward to doing more photography for you in the future and supporting Macmillan Cancer support even more!
I've been lucky enough over the past year to be booked for a number of fantastic surprise birthday or anniversary parties.
I first met Shireen & Terry when I had been asked to photograph the President's Golfing dinner at Nuneaton Golf course earlier in the year.
Shireen called me to say that she was organising a surprise party for her husband & wanted me to come along, for around 2 hours, to photograph the evening. As she went on to explain what she was organising I was astounded by how much she was planning & I have to admit, a little excited to hear about the entertainment act she had chosen.
Once the evening was well underway & Terry had started to recover from the fantastic Surprise his wife had organised it soon became clear that 2 hours photography wasn't going to be long enough. I was really pleased when Shireen asked me to stay 2 more hours to continue photographing the evening. This also included some great entertainment provided by the musical tribute band Barry Walker's Smackee.
Below is a small selection of the photographs taken on the evening.


"I procrastinate my happiness." There, I said it.
Some weeks I prioritize it to the top of the list…other weeks, it gets shifted down with the internal understanding that I will of course get to it soon…but for now there are other more pressing issues to attend to…such as grocery shopping…filling the car with gas…catching up on the latest TV shows….
The problem with my procrastination is that I'm pushing off so much more than a simple blog post.
What I'm pushing off is an opportunity to do the one thing I've always felt I'm somewhat good at…the thing that brings me personal pride and happiness…which is writing.
I have in my head this idea that writing will make me happy…but only if it's "good" writing…and nothing good can come from 30 minutes here and 30 minutes there. No…I need a full weekend…spent alone in a hotel room with just me and my computer and a bottomless cup of coffee. But it's not realistic…and thus, my happiness continues to be pushed to the back burner.
In an effort to work through my tendency to procrastinate….my goal is to begin implementing the Success Concept: Implement with Discipline.
• There will be obstacles – plan for them.
• If you fail, start again!
My goal is to begin this process today, Wednesday 11/25, and report back within a month (here's lookin at you Christmas Day ).
Let the battle against procrastination begin….

All summer long our interns, in addition to their assigned teams, worked on a pitch for the non-profit organization Per Diems Against Poverty. The winning pitch would be used by the organization and NY's Dara Zeltt shares her experience working on the project in the final 2016 installment of the Intern Experience.
The Intern Experience: "We all started at Momentum together"
Each summer President and Chief Marketing Officer Kevin McNulty has a special tradition where he takes the interns to John's Pizza in Soho—widely considered the best pizza in New York. Kevin believes it's important to create personal relationships with the interns and that every non-New Yorker could use a slice—fine, a few slices—of authentic NY pizza. And for us college students still in school and not yet in the advertising industry, we relished casually sitting around a table with Kevin and Momentum's Chief Talent Officer, Jen Frieman, talking about the industry and a whole slew of other topics.
Chicago business leadership intern Emery Barnes is working this summer with the United Airlines team and is learning how to look at a brand experience and measure the effectiveness of it—and the challenge in doing so.
As an experience creation agency, our team's daily experiences mean a lot to us. Join our interns as they share their experiences via a multi-part blog series chronicling their summer journey here at Momentum.
First up, Illiade Stieglitz, working with the American Express music team in New York, shares her initial experience.
We are thrilled to announce the start of the EQUAT/ON Internship Program 2016 welcoming 24 interns to the Momentum Worldwide family across all of its North American offices. And yeah, they're pretty great.
Sitting in New York, Chicago, St. Louis, and Atlanta, our talented interns will be hands-on, actively immersed in helping creating unforgettable brand experiences and making the seemingly impossible a reality.

Internet protocol suite
(Redirected from TCP/IP)
When computers connect and transmit data between each other on the Internet, they follow a set of rules to do so. These rules are universal; all computers throughout the Internet must follow them. Otherwise, the Internet would not function as computers would not be able to transmit data in a meaningful and useful way. These rules are called protocols. There are many different protocols, each for different purposes, and they all together are called the Internet protocol suite. The two most important protocols are the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) and the Internet Protocol (IP), which ensure data is delivered at the right place, and without errors, and is what computers use when they access servers (computers that have the data that is accessed on the Internet) on the World Wide Web, as well as for email, and the like. Other protocols include the Network Time Protocol, which ensures clock synchronisation in computers, and there are many others.
The TCP/IP model and other related protocols are maintained by the Internet Engineering Task Force, whose parent organisation is the Internet Society, and which also cooperates closely with other standards bodies such as the W3C (World Wide Web Consortium) and ISO/IEC.

Australia reports 'surge' in illegal hydroxychloroquine imports as people seek alternative treatments for Covid-19
A pharmacy worker shows pills of hydroxychloroquine © REUTERS/Yves Herman. Sketched by the Pan Pacific Agency.
CANBERRA, May 8, 2020, RT. Australian authorities have reported a spike in drug smuggling – but not the kind they usually deal with. Aussies are importing hydroxychloroquine, an anti-malarial medication used as a controversial antidote to Covid-19. Dozens of packages containing more than 6,000 tablets have been intercepted since January, the Australian Border Force (ABF) announced in a press release on Friday, Russia Today reported.
In a video posted to Twitter, the ABF showed a parcel containing several boxes hydroxychloroquine wrapped in fabric. The force warned Australians against "self-prescribing" the drug.
Acting Commander Susan Drennan said personnel were "on the lookout" for illicit imports of the medication. "Anyone considering further unauthorized imports will be wasting their money," she cautioned.
Australia's Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) issued an advisory in March urging doctors to limit prescriptions of hydroxychloroquine, saying the drug could cause heart attacks and lead to comas. In April, the country's Health Protection Principal Committee recommended against prescribing the drug to treat coronavirus, stating that the medication should only be used in clinical trials.
The debate over hydroxychloroquine's effectiveness at countering Covid-19 is not limited to Australia. The drug has many high-profile advocates and critics, including US President Donald Trump, who suggested the anti-malarial pills could be a key weapon in the fight against the virus. Hydroxychloroquine can be used in the United States, but only as a last resort.
With a Covid-19 vaccine perhaps a year or more away, countries around the world have been scrambling to find alternative treatments. In May, the US Food and Drug Administration approved the use of antiviral drug remdesivir as an emergency treatment for the illness.

Barcelona-Manchester United In High Demand for ICC
July 2015 by Joe Sudberg
In the midst of one of summer's most exciting soccer events, US fans are preparing for a collision between arguably the two most well-known clubs in the world as part of the annual International Champions Cup (ICC).
Spanish giants FC Barcelona will face defending champions and the most successful club to come out of England, Manchester United, this Saturday at the Levi's Stadium in San Francisco. According to reselling platform Ticketbis.com, ticket prices for this sought-after matchup are averaging $309 on the secondary market, which is understandable considering tickets are no longer even available on the primary market. The average ticket price represents a significant increase of 192 percent from the average between all ICC games being held in the US, which is $106.
The demand for tickets is huge despite the absence of soccer's biggest stars Lionel Messi and Neymar, who were left out of Barcelona's ICC roster to be fresh for their upcoming season. Nonetheless, the team has no shortage of talent for this year's competition as we saw in Tuesday's game against LA Galaxy that ended in a 2-1 win for the Spanish side. Goals were scored by Luis Suarez and Sergi Roberto, plus fans got to see the likes of Gerard Piqué, Andres Iniesta, and Pedro work their magic on the field. These players all played a crucial role in securing the team's first-place trophies in the domestic league, domestic cup, and Champions League competitions last season. According to ESPN, the LA Galaxy-Barcelona matchup saw the largest crowd for a soccer game involving an MLS team in US history.
Facing Manchester United, however, will not be an easy endeavor for Luis Enrique's side. The Red Devils have been doing exceptionally well so far in the tournament, owning a 3-1 win against the San Jose Earthquakes and a 1-0 triumph over Mexico's Club America. Goal-scorers included Juan Mata & Memphis Depay (joint effort), Andreas Pereira, and Morgan Schneiderlin.
Set to join the United squad against Barcelona are Angel Di Maria, Javier Hernández, and David De Gea in goal. Last year's MVP, Wayne Rooney, could also get some playing time. United won last year's ICC in the US with a 3-1 win over Liverpool in the final, which took place at Sun Life Stadium.
So, the question is, will Barcelona be able to take down United on Saturday without the help of Messi and Neymar? It will depend a lot on each team's attitude and approach towards the offseason. Despite the seemingly nonchalant nature in which many players and coaches treat these games, it is in each side's interest to show dominance, especially when matched up against what will be a real threat during the official season.
US soccer fans will be able to see more great European clubs face each other. Top french club PSG and Jose Mourinho's Chelsea will also face off on Saturday, with tickets starting at $118.95, as listed on Ticketbis. Next week, Barcelona will play against Chelsea, while Manchester United collides with PSG.

Just an average seisún down your local, with Liam Gallagher on guitar
Born to west of Ireland parents Thomas and Peggy Gallagher, it's no surprise that Liam Gallagher swings by every so often for a bit of a break.
What is probably more surprising, however, is that he is so eager to join in on a local Sunday night seisún.
Still, that's exactly what happened earlier this week, when the former Oasis frontman called into JJ Finan's pub in the town of Charlestown in Co. Mayo – where his mother grew up.
Delighting town residents present on the evening (one even made sure to shout out "go on, Gallagher!"), a guitar-wielding Liam joined local musicians in one corner of the well-known public house.
In one accompanying video clip later posted online, cups of milky tea can be seen alongside pints on the table in front of Mr Gallagher and his fellow performers.
Excitingly, the same clip appears to show the 42-year-old rocker singing previously unheard solo material.
Indeed, the song could well contain a reference to his estranged brother Noel, 48, who quit Oasis back in 2009 – five years before the group was eventually disbanded entirely.
The lyrics include the lines: "Yes I know, I've been wrong. Didn't do what I was told. Yes I know, I've been wrong. Didn't do what I was told. I ain't looking for no 9-5. Sick of wasting all my precious time. Cos it's alright. Cos it's alright now."
Noel's latest solo album, Chasing Yesterday, was released in February, and Liam also sings the lyrics: "When I wake up and I hear you say, there's no love worth chasing yesterday."
Liam had flown into Knock airport – where he was required to take the obligatory 'Mayo for Sam' snap – late last week.
On arrival, Liam popped into the local Mace to pick up no fewer than nine bags of Tayto, five bags of Galaxy Minstrels, six Wispa Golds… and some shaving foam.
He also swung by Charlestown GAA club for photos there.
Reports suggest that he remains in the area now, though he intends returning to Britain shortly.
Mayo For Sam

A few weeks ago Facebook announced that they would be changing the way Facebook likes are counted. Basically, the update makes it so that inactive accounts, that is accounts that have been voluntarily deactivated or memorialized accounts (deceased Facebook users), will no longer count towards the total number of likes for Facebook pages.
Facebook claims that dropping these inactive users from the Facebook like count will make the numbers more accurate, which does make some sense.
Facebook has made a number of pushes to remove spam accounts and inactive accounts in the past, but this is the first time that I have actually seen a drop on my own page, which was a little shocking when I first noticed it, even though I understand that the new number is more accurate.
Hopefully these users have just deactivated their Facebook accounts, and haven't actually passed away. It's weird to think that some of my fans may have dies since I started my page, although given my number of fans, it's statistically likely.

Spotlight On: We're Winning the Fight Against Big Tobacco
It's been a watershed spring for the City of Milwaukee Tobacco-Free Alliance as it racked up successes in the Milwaukee Common Council and in the community.
"I think these initiatives help to reshape norms around smoking so people will be better educated, better informed, and also be able to live, work, and play in environments that are smoke free, both from cigarette smoke and e-cigarette vapor," said Anneke Mohr, coordinator for the City of Milwaukee Tobacco-Free Alliance, which is housed in the Community Advocates Public Policy Institute.
Regulations Tightened on E-Cigarettes
First up are the important changes made to local e-cigarette regulations
There's increasing awareness that these largely unregulated nicotine delivery systems pose harm not just to the individual who's vaping, but to those who surround them. The vape cloud emitted by e-cigarettes isn't just water vapor, but a toxic mix of chemicals.
"We've seen a growing body of evidence that the second-hand aerosol from e-cigarettes is harmful and contains heavy metals, the flavorings have different chemicals that cause irreversible lung disease, and it's contaminating the air and causing negative health effects for people with respiratory issues," Mohr said.
At the same time, new e-cigarette devices and e-juice flavors are becoming more popular with young people, thanks to targeting by e-cigarette companies. Statewide, more youth are vaping and they say that they wouldn't try e-cigarettes if they didn't taste like candy or fruit.
A new type of e-cigarette, Juul, is designed to look like a jump drive, so it's easy to conceal from parents and teachers. Juul devices are especially popular in suburban Milwaukee and more kids are becoming addicted to the nicotine they contain.
The City of Milwaukee Tobacco-Free Alliance has focused on public outreach and education on the harms posed by vaping, especially to young people. This greater awareness seemed to spur the City of Milwaukee Common Council to vote unanimously to include e-cigarettes in the city's smoke-free ordinance.
"Since we haven't yet updated the state law to include e-cigarettes, there are 11 cities throughout the state who have done it at the local level," Mohr said. "Milwaukee just became the twelfth city in Wisconsin to update the local smoke-free ordinance to include e-cigarettes."
Now, within city borders, vaping is banned anywhere cigarette smoking is banned, including bars, restaurants, and workplaces, to protect the health and well-being of Milwaukee residents and visitors. Mohr said the Alliance will be helping to monitor compliance with the new smoke-free ordinance and its enforcement.
The city has also targeted sales of e-cigarettes to minors. While traditional tobacco products have long been off-limits to young people, in May the Common Council passed a ban on e-cigarettes to minors, bringing the city in line with state statutes. Now, the Milwaukee Police Department can ticket retailers who sell vapes and e-juice to young people. Even better, the city raised the fines on sales of e-cigarettes, traditional cigarettes, and tobacco products to minors from $260 to $691. In addition, fines for selling single cigarettes -- also known as "loosies" -- was raised from $181 to $691.
Why is that important? First, it helps to keep tobacco and nicotine away from young people so we won't raise a new generation of nicotine-addicted kids. Second, it allows the Wisconsin WINS checks to collect data on how many retailers are selling e-cigarettes to minors.
"Now we'll be able to find out how often youth are able to buy e-cigarettes and e-juice and make sure that stores are checking for ID and not selling to youth," Mohr said.
Last, the fine increase provides a stronger incentive for retailers to enroll in the Milwaukee Achieving Responsible Tobacco Sales (MARTS) program developed by the City Attorney's Office rather than simply paying a minor citation and continuing on with business as usual. Businesses that have enrolled in MARTS have shown a decrease in nuisance activity and calls for service from the police.
"I think it's good timing because even though we're seeing that Juul and other products are really popular in the suburbs, in some Milwaukee neighborhoods they're not as popular," Mohr said. "We're able get ahead of the curve by providing that education to people so that everybody is on the same page with the science and can provide accurate information to youth to promote prevention, rather than to backtrack and encourage people to quit something they've already started."
PrideFest Milwaukee Progress
The Alliance also scored a big victory in its ongoing campaign to address the high rates of tobacco use in the LGBTQ community. Unfortunately, LGBTQ individuals are 2.5 times more likely to use tobacco than their straight peers, the result of Big Tobacco industry targeting and the stress of belonging to a minority community where smoking is a social norm tied to traditionally safe spaces like bars and clubs.
Last summer, the Alliance successfully worked with Milwaukee Pride to include smoke-free areas on the festival grounds so that all attendees would feel welcome and included, especially in the Health and Wellness, Youth, and Children and Families areas. Building on that success, the Alliance strategically grew its membership and continued to raise awareness of LGBTQ targeting, especially with menthol cigarettes, which are highly addictive and harmful. As a result, this spring, Milwaukee Pride agreed to "Say No to Big Tobacco" by rejecting a sponsorship and a promotional opportunity from a tobacco company's marketing arm, the Newport Pleasure Lounge.
The agreement came with a catch: The Pride board asked the Alliance to raise the funds to offset the Big Tobacco sponsorship money. Thanks to wide support within health- and LGBTQ-focused organizations, it did so, and the donors were recognized as sponsors of the festival.
"It was great," Mohr said. "During the opening ceremony the Pride board president made sure to say that they were taking a stand against Big Tobacco, so I think that sends a strong message to the community that we're not going to tolerate being targeted anymore."
The Alliance also screened the new video of Syd Robinson's quit journey, collected survey data on the use of e-cigarettes, and distributed "quit packs" and provided resources for smokers and vapers who need a little support while they break the habit.
"This year we saw fewer people smoking but a lot more people who were vaping," Mohr said. "It definitely was good timing for us to do more education and outreach to make sure people are aware of the health effects of vaping."
Mohr said the positive momentum with PrideFest Milwaukee can influence other festivals and outdoor events to go smoke-free, following the lead of Chill on the Hill, which has been a smoke-free event for several years.
"I think it opens the door to further conversations with Pride, but also with other festivals and events," Mohr said.
Smoke-Free Public Housing Up Next
The Alliance has also been educating residents of Milwaukee's public housing units on the July 1 rule that will prohibit them from smoking and vaping in their homes. This is a national rule from the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) that has been in the works for a while.
Mohr said smoke-free housing is a big win for kids, since they will be less likely to develop asthma and require visits to emergency rooms and miss school because of their poor health. It'll also have a big impact on infant mortality as expectant moms won't be able to smoke indoors and won't be exposed to second-hand smoke.
Also in the works is a new video highlighting Bay View's very successful smoke-free Chill on the Hill and ongoing Wisconsin WINS checks of retailers that sell tobacco and other products within Milwaukee.


Unfortunately, I had some pretty poor growing conditions and never got enough to do anything with but, after a lot of searching, I found a one man company called Chillies2U who would deliver exactly the colour I needed.
His habaneros were just a tiny bit hotter than mine but a good deal bigger and just as tasty. As you can see below, I'm using the five biggest for this recipe.
I am not, however, using the nutmeg you see above. It's a fairly deep flavoured spice and I don't want to risk overpowering the flavour that we're looking for. The flavour of the chillies themselves.
Likewise, the flour I'm using is white because, while wholemeal is the usual choice for a fruit cake, this isn't one. Unlike with your average carrot cake, the idea here is to keep the cake itself as mild flavoured as possible, so that fruit loaf taste really isn't desired.
I mean, why track down a special kind of habanero if I'm just going to cover it up?
So I preheat the oven to 180°c like usual and get to mixing.
First the sugar, honey and oil, then the eggs bit by bit.
Once those are whisked to the point of being pale and frothy, it's time to fold in the flour and cinnamon, gently so as not to undo all your hard work aerating the batter a moment ago.
Then we prepare the carrots and chillies.
To get the absolute most flavour out of these habaneros, we want their body, not the seeds or pithy placenta, so go ahead and cut them out. I know it seems wrong to chuck away the hottest part but look at it this way: It means you can get away with using more of the tasty bit.
When you're doing this, however, you might want to wear gloves to avoid spreading the juices to unwanted places later. These may not be the world's hottest or anything but fresh chilli juice is a nightmare to wash off so it's still best to take precautions.
After de-coring them all, it's time to blend those chillies to a pulp. Any blender will do for this as they're fairly soft fleshed. All that matters is that you get the pieces nice and fine to match the carrot you'll be grating in a moment.
Unfortunately, that's where the quality of your blender does matter. If you have a particularly good one, you can get away with just washing the carrots and blending them in with the chillies. Mine, though, is pretty average and simply cannot handle anything as hard as raw carrot.
If this is the case for you too, the only solution is using a fine cheese grater to grate them by hand.
Whichever way you do it, you need to make sure you mix the resulting pulps thoroughly before stirring them into your batter. An act that should also be done carefully to avoid clumps but that should also be done gently enough to retain any air in the mix. Those little bubbles go a long way towards making your cake rise.
A gorgeous light carrot cake that carries a now clearly baked but still distinctive orange habanero flavour. A delicious desert for those who appreciate not just the heat but also the taste of hot chillies.
that drops to the lower end of that number as the cake itself cools down. A piercing after burn that hits at the end of each bite, leaving an oddly comforting warmth in the back of your mouth and throat. Perfect for these long winter nights.
But when I made this cake, I wasn't going to just leave it there. It was the birthday of a friend so it had to look good. I had to ice it.
The Sugar Tree's habanero infused castor sugar.
They, of course, claim that it's an absolutely insane heat but they're not freaks or spice lovers. They're not into their chilli. The Sugar Tree favour delicate flavours to be added to coffee, tea or baking.
with a gentle habanero flavour, somewhere between the red and orange varieties.
By the time I've added this to anything, I can barely feel it at all but that's ok here. The cake itself has plenty of heat to be going on with but this sugar adds both flavour and just a little crunch to the icing. Icing that would be nothing but sweet creaminess without it.
In all honesty, I chose to add it more for decoration than out of any hope that it might bring something to the eating experience but, when it melted slightly into the icing that I had applied a little too early (I was in a rush), it created something wonderful.
If you and those around you like it hot and love the taste of either habaneros or carrot cake, this is well worth making!

St. Monica's Rocket Club to participate in Team America Rocketry Challenge this weekend
Clare Sebestyen, Terese Wilder, Sean Wilder, Nicholas Ward and John Paul Sebestyen.
On May 18, Ridgefield's St. Monica's Rocket Club will compete against 100 of the top middle and high school rocketry teams from across the country at the 17th annual Team America Rocketry Challenge where the winning team will earn the right to represent the United States at the international competition held in Paris, France in June. The St. Monica's Team earned the right to compete at the National Fly-Off by submitting qualification flights that scored in the top 100 among 830 other teams from across the United States.
The Team America Rocketry Challenge is the world's largest rocketry contest and is a program designed to encourage students to pursue careers in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM). The competition challenges middle and high school students to design, build, and fly a rocket that meets rigorous altitude and flight duration parameters through a series of certified, qualifying launches. This year, in honor of the 50th anniversary of the historic Apollo 11 Moon landing, the requirements include safely carrying three raw eggs representing the three Apollo 11 astronauts, to an altitude of exactly 856 feet (Neil Armstrong set foot on the moon at 8:56 p.m. Houston time) and returning Earth under at least two parachutes with a total flight duration of between 43 to 46 seconds.
TARC takes the students through the whole engineering lifecycle, from planning and design to simulation, production and post-production problem resolution and re-design where necessary. This year, the students used a variety of materials and techniques to address the challenge. They made their rocket airframe out of carbon fiber and 3D printed many of the components that they had designed themselves. They conducted over 50 launches over the course of the season in preparation for qualification flights and the National Fly-Off.
To learn more about TARC and track the progress of the St. Monica's Team this weekend, please visit rocketcontest.org.

Ukraine: Tatyana Slipachuk Joins Ukraine's Central Electoral Commission
by Sayenko Kharenko
Sayenko Kharenko
Tatyana Slipachuk has joined Ukraine's Central Electoral Commission (CEC). This appointment took effect on 5 October 2018, after Tatyana took the oath as a newly elected CEC member during the plenary session of the Verkhovna Rada (Ukrainian parliament). In connection with this appointment, Tatyana resigned her partnership at Sayenko Kharenko after seven years with the firm.
For more than 20 years, Tatyana has made a significant personal contribution to the development of such areas of legal practice in Ukraine as international arbitration and international trade. Under Tatyana's leadership, Sayenko Kharenko's international arbitration and international trade practices repeatedly received recognition as market leaders by the most authoritative international and Ukrainian legal directories and awards. Partners Olexander Droug and Anzhela Makhinova will continue to lead the firm's international arbitration and international trade practices respectively.
Tatyana Slipachuk comments: "I devoted a considerable part of my professional life to developing international arbitration in Ukraine and launching international trade practice as a professional advocacy, while continuing scientific activity and expert participation in lawmaking and legal development of state institutions. Despite my constant desire for personal development, new impressions and additional achievements, this new turn in my career was a well-considered and thought through decision. While working at Sayenko Kharenko, I managed to build strong professional teams. I have no doubt that Olexander and Anzhela will continue developing the practices entrusted to them. I am happy to see that mature, motivated and inspired partners of the new generation will lead these practices. I would also like to thank Sayenko Kharenko's partners and every member of my team for supporting me fully in this decision."
Partner Vladimir Sayenko notes: "We are extremely grateful to Tatyana for devoting seven years to the firm. During that period, she was able to create and develop two strong practices while assembling professional teams featuring the best experts in the market. Now Tatyana is starting a completely new chapter in her career. We totally support her decision, which did not come as a surprise and deserves the upmost respect. We wish Tatyana the best of luck in all the challenges she will face at this new stage in her professional life."

A national icon is someone who, by the mere mention of their name, will remind people of their country. Whether they like it or not, they are representatives of their nation to the rest of the world.
Top 10 : Ronald Reagan1
Best known for his role as the 40th President of the United States, Reagan started out as a radio announcer and Hollywood actor, having made over 50 films. He realized politics was his calling2 and in 1947 became President of the Screen Actors Guild3.
He changed his party affiliation4 from Democrat to Republican and was elected Governor of California in 1966. After taking over the White House in 1981, he served in this capacity5 for two terms. During those years, he showed the world what America is all about.
Best quote: "America is too great to dream small dreams."
Top9: Ernest Hemingway6
Hemingway is considered the greatest American fiction writer of the 20th century. He was an ambulance driver during World War I and a war correspondent during World War II. He wrote about his experiences as an American expatriate7 in Paris during the 1920s, hunting in Africa, and fishing off Cuba.
His direct and sparse way of writing became his trademark, which has often been imitated and parodied8. His works have earned him both the Pulitzer9 and the Nobel Prize. He supposedly committed suicide while struggling with a bout10 of depression, but he still remains one of the most prominent literary ambassadors America has ever had.
Best quote: "All things truly wicked start from an innocence."11
Top8: Frank Sinatra12
The single most popular crooner13 of all time, Frank Sinatra had early ambitions of becoming a journalist. By the time he was working as a sports reporter, a second career in singing was taking off. Before long, he was touring with a big band orchestra and embarking on a solo career in 1942.
He was a bona fide14 sensation, selling records faster than they could be printed. Regarded as the greatest entertainer of the 20th century, Sinatra deserves his status as an American icon.
Best quote: "A friend is never an imposition."
Top7: James Dean15
James Dean was a kid from the Midwest. He studied acting and law in California but quit after getting a taste of the real thing on a TV show. He then moved to act on Broadway and got more guest appearances16 on television. His soft, unforced acting impressed both audience and producers.
He made three movies before his 1955 death in a car crash. East of Eden, Rebel without a Cause and Giant were not only critical and financial successes, but they showcased17 a new kind of actor that people had never seen before. Dean became more than an idol; he became a legend.
Best quote: "Dream as if you'll live forever. Live as if you'll die today."
Top6: Michael Jordan
Here's a man who lives the American Dream. Originally from Brooklyn18, Michael Jordan attended the University of North Carolina and proved that he truly was the best basketball player that ever lived by taking his team to the NCAA19 championship. He was soon drafted into the NBA as a guard for the Chicago Bulls. He led his team to six league championships and won the MVP20 award five times.
Also a savvy businessman, Air Jordan's fortune was estimated at $408 million in 2003.
Best quote: "I can accept failure, but I can't accept not trying."
Top5: Martin Luther King, Jr.
He had a dream. When he heard about a pacifist in India named Mahatma Gandhi21, and became enamored with22 Gandhi's methods of peaceful protest.
Openly supporting Rosa Parks23 and her refusal to relinquish her seat to a white bus passenger made him a target for his opponents and his house was bombed. But that just served to fuel his desire to see segregation terminated. He became a national advocate for civil liberties and inspired a nation to change its ways. His assassination in 1968 only proved that he was on the right track24.
Best quote: "If a man hasn't found something he will die for, he isn't fit to live."
Top4: John Wayne25
The "Duke" was forced to leave college after an injury put an end to his football playing days. He had been working odd jobs at Fox Studios when he was finally noticed by executives. After a lead role in a major production failed to make him a star, he began to appear in low-budget films.
The movie that put him on the map was 1939's Stagecoach26, directed by John Ford, with whom Wayne would have a long professional relationship. The Duke became famous for playing tough guys in westerns and war pictures. He is the personification of the American of those days, a private and honest man of action.
Best quote: "I never trust a man that doesn't drink."
Top3: Elvis Presley27

A County Durham former pit village will soon have a stunning 'gateway'-type sculpture in its centre. Ushaw Moor will host the opening ceremony of the sculpture, created by local artist Graeme Hopper, at 11 am on Monday 14th November.
The sculpture is the result of a long process of collaboration between Mr Hopper and the local community. The process was set in motion by Brandon and Byshottles Parish Council, who wished to commission a piece of public art to honour the area's mining heritage.
Children from the village's two primary schools – St Joseph's and Silver Trees – have contributed many ideas for the sculpture. The Mid-Durham Area Action Partnership has also been involved in the scheme.
The sculpture will be based around a replica pit wheel, which will form the 'archway'. It will also include metal poppies as a tribute to villagers who have lost their lives in various conflicts. In addition, the sculpture will incorporate a feature on which the village's Christmas tree can be mounted each December.
The cost of the sculpture is £18,000.
Graeme Hopper started out by serving a four-year apprenticeship as a blacksmith. He worked in light and heavy industry before starting his own business in 1990. His studio/forge is near Durham City.
He has appeared on the BBC's 'Small Town Gardens' and 'Do It Yourself' programmes. Graeme also has a sculpture in the Royal Collection. It was placed there by Prince Charles after Graeme presented it to him as a gift during a royal visit to the north east.
Work on Ushaw Moor's sculpture has now begun on a site in Whitehouse Lane. Councillor Susan Nelson, the chair of the parish council, will officially declare the sculpture open on the 14th.
The ceremony will be attended by pupils from the two primary schools, as well as representatives from the developers Gleeson Homes and Taylor Wimpey. Both these companies have recently built homes in Ushaw Moor. County Councillors will also be present as well as any villagers who wish to attend.
On Friday 2nd December at 3.30 pm another ceremony will take place: the lighting of Ushaw Moor's Christmas tree, mounted – for the first time – on the village's impressive new sculpture.

Goodbye Japril, Hello Jaggie: The New Love Triangle On 'Grey's Anatomy'
Skylar Woodhouse
Grey's Anatomy will never disappoint when it comes to romance and giving your life a little extra stress. The producers love to kill off our favorite characters and build some of the most sought out power couples on T.V. The newest power couple potentially on the rise is Jackson Avery and Maggie Pierce. Jackson Avery, the plastics god, has had a series of relationships on the show. Maggie has not had the best luck when it comes to finding "the one". April Kepner, is Jackson's former wife and mother of his child. The two shared great times together. Now, divorced they have went their separate ways and may or may not be going on dates to meet a new boo.
Jackson and Maggie have always supported each other with surgical gains and are the shows two biracial surgeons. Maggie and Jackson did not acknowledge each other in any romantic way and were simply just friends. Jackson, being the great guy he is allowed April to remain in his home even though they were divorced because it was in the best interest of their daughter. Not until the end the of season 13 were the possible signs of a new relationship noticed. Maggie's mom was diagnosed with breast cancer and she sought out Jackson to be her doctor. Besides being her mom's surgeon, Jackson was there to comfort Maggie as she watched her mom undergo surgeries and treatment. Maybe the support created feelings?
Season 13 episode 16 was when Jackson went to go and find his father. He accomplished meeting his father but also had a steamy hook-up with his former wife. This hook-up left myself and all my friends wondering if Jackson and April were going to get back together. April Kepner was the first to speak out on what she thought was flirting. In the season 13 finale, April confronted Maggie just after Maggie yelled at Jackson for running into the hospital fire. The two shared a long stare at each other and it was clear that April was the third man out and did not have Jackson's attention. I mean with those gorgeous green eyes, I would kill for him to look at me. Despite what she may have thought after their hook-up, April now felt that Jackson had feelings for Maggie.
Maggie and Jackson have had a few awkward exchanges during season 14. Family dinners and making sure one is dressed properly has allowed for them to really think about if they have any feelings each other. Oh yeah did I say family dinners? Jackson and Maggie are step brother and sister. Jackson's mom, Catherine Avery, married Maggie's father, Richard Webber. Brothers and sisters can't exactly date, so maybe this rule will keep the two from having that first kiss. Or maybe April really will have to accept that Jackson might have feelings for Maggie and no longer has time for her.

Las Vegas is a top destination for weddings, with about 10,000 performed in the city each year. If you and your beloved want to get hitched, the process of getting married in this desert oasis is a relatively easy -- and affordable -- process, with the average Vegas wedding costing less than $500. About 50 chapels dot the city's landscape, so finding a chapel that is right for you should be a snap.
Obtain a marriage license. You can get one at the Clark County Marriage License Bureau, which is located downtown at 201 Clark Ave. The bureau is open until midnight every day and offers licenses for $60 without a blood test or waiting period.
Determine what type of service you prefer. If a large, traditional wedding is your thing, you can find those services in Las Vegas in a location like Little Chapel of the Flowers. If you want Elvis to officiate the proceedings, head to a spot like the Graceland Wedding Chapel.
Decide on a wedding chapel. Numerous small and quaint chapels dot the landscape between the Strip and Fremont Street. Many of the larger casino resorts, such as Bellagio and Excalibur, also offer chapels. Excalibur even provides medieval costumes that go with the resort's theme if you prefer a wedding that looks like it took place in Camelot.
Ask about the services offered. Many chapels will take care of all of the arrangements and whisk you in a limo to your honeymoon destination. Chapels offer music, flowers, photography, videotaping and more with different price points for different services.
Plan your honeymoon stay. Las Vegas features no shortage of luxury resorts, with the finest amenities. Casinos such as Wynn, The Venetian, Caesars Palace offer swanky suites for you and your spouse. Fine dining and evening show options abound at all of the major resorts on the Strip.
Remember to tip. A gratuity for the minster (even if it is Elvis) is expected and appreciated. A $20 to $30 tip should be adequate.
Book your preferred chapel in advance if you want to get married on Valentine's Day. Almost all chapels in Las Vegas are swamped on Feb. 14, with many performing nearly 100 services on that day each year.

Settle down everyone, class is in session! Now, do you want to learn, or do you just want to watch a movie and make snide remarks? I thought so. Let us commence.
Ever since he blew up a selection of landmarks in 1996's Independence Day, Roland Emmerich has dedicated his life to seeking out new and more explodery ways to destroy first America, and then the world. He had become the chief, and possibly only, curator of the curious sub-genre referred to as "Disaster Porn," and in that vein 2012 could be considered his Debbie Does Dallas and Deep Throat combined. Using a potent mix of science, mysticism and bullshit, he gives himself free rein to sink cities, devastate continents and generally cause a ruckus. Look beneath the special effects, the melodrama and John Cusack's creepily inexpressive face (put him in a staring contest with Keanu Reeves and you've got a hell of fight on your hands), and you will find some truly profound lessons that will make you a better, stronger person and will help you lose 20 pounds.
Roland Emmerich would have us all believe that the Mayans as a culture were advanced in the areas of language, art and utter nonsense. With the turn of the millennium and the failure of Y2K to turn our toasters against us in an orgy of crumbs and blood, doomsayers and apocalypse junkies found themselves at a loose end. With all that aimless pre-millennial fear and malaise spent, they'd have to wait a whole century for another arbitrary date to make people fear. Sure, they could keep interpreting Nostradamus in just the right way so that they could proclaim every other year would bring about the End Times, but that gets old pretty quickly and the people of the world aren't like Charlie Brown; if you keep pulling that apocalypse you promised away at the last second, eventually they're just going to go and play something else.

Student ambulance technicians sent solo to 999 emergencies
By Janet Boyle
December 4, 2022, 2:02 pm Updated: December 4, 2022, 9:31 pm
Scottish Health Secretary Humza Yousaf at the Royal Infirmary Of Edinburgh, to mark the first year of the Scottish Trauma Network, in August
Student ambulance technicians with just a few months' training are being sent to emergencies alone because of a shortage of experienced staff.
The one-member 999 response has, according to sources, been sent to call-outs involving patients suffering life-threatening collapse and potentially-fatal emergencies.
Single-crew ambulances have also been sent to serious road accidents on the A9, Scotland's most dangerous road, causing delays to transferring patients to hospital.
The Scottish Ambulance Service yesterday said that single-crews are only deployed in exceptional circumstances but doctors warn putting sole responsibility on student technicians is unfair on them but potentially disastrous for patients.
One source said: "We have student technicians being sent out to cardiac arrests and other category one calls because they are the only ones on call at their station.
"Ambulance staff all wear the same green uniform so patients and their families do not know if it is a paramedic or student coming in through the door to a 999 call.
"We are told making all the uniforms green instead of distinguishing students from technicians and paramedics was done on the basis of cost but it also gives the public a false sense of security."
Scottish ambulance technician training takes 16 months and includes 10 weeks of classroom work, placement at a station and four weeks of training in emergency response driving.
One Highland GP said sending ambulances with a single trainee is an increasing concern. He said: "We are being told students are being sent out on their own which is both unfair on the students and potentially catastrophic for patients."
He also told how a single-crewed ambulance – though not one with just a trainee on board – had been sent to a serious accident on the A9, but had been unable to transport the patient to hospital because that required two staff. He said: "That patient has a delay in being transferred to hospital because the technician or paramedic cannot drive while monitoring the injured patient in the back."
That meant a GP at the scene had to go with the vehicle. He said: "The GP has to make a decision to travel to hospital with the patient and leave their practice and possibly more emergency call-outs behind or wait for a back-up paramedic who could be another hour away."
Sixteen people have died in accidents on the A9 this year, the highest figure since 2001, and another paramedic revealed the pressure of doing CPR solo. They said: "We have made Datix [adverse events] reports to our bosses but many of us now don't bother because nothing is done to stop sending single crews to emergencies."
Communities fear delayed hospital transfers may cost lives. The Journal of Emergency Medicine recently revealed one in 82 patients who waited six hours being transferred to bed, died because of the delay.
Liam Taylor, chairman of Assynt Community Council in the North West Highlands, said: "There is a limit to what one technician can do and people are rightly concerned over the level of care available to rural communities. The nearest paramedic back-up is an hour away in Ullapool or Kinlochbervie and survival for patients needs to be considered. They may well have to drive to Inverness two hours away."
Scottish Labour public health spokesperson Paul O'Kane said "These reports lay bare the dangerous chaos at the heart of our ambulance service. There is no doubt that lives are being put at risk by this crisis. We urgently need a real plan to support ambulance services."
Health Secretary Humza Yousaf is fighting fires across NHS Scotland, with staff shortages slowing treatment and increasing waits for patients. Last week, he apologised to the 750,000 Scots now on NHS waiting lists but warned there is a perfect storm of issues battering the service while there is no easy solutions.
GMB Scotland Secretary Louise Gilmour said: "The scale of the understaffing crisis across the NHS means the Scottish Ambulance Service is past the point of sustainable delivery, and the mounting pressures on hard-pressed workers are unbearable.
The Sunday Post View: If patients got well with the platitudes of ministers, NHS Scotland would be in good health
"The sobering testimonies from workers on the frontline are just the tip of the iceberg. Ministers must invest in the people and resources needed to sustainably deliver frontline services using the full financial powers they have at their disposal."
The Scottish Ambulance Service said: "Ambulances are not routinely single-crewed other than in exceptional circumstances, such as short notice unplanned staff absences. Every effort is made to double-crew ambulances through rostered and relief staff, overtime or bank staff.
"We also have a wide range of additional resources which can be deployed depending on the nature of the incident and the condition of the patient. We continue to invest in new ambulances, the latest equipment and staff, building on the recruitment of 540 A&E staff last financial year."

Cerebellar patients do not benefit from cerebellar or M1 transcranial direct current stimulation during force-field reaching adaptation
Journal of Neurophysiology , Volume 118 - Issue 2 p. 732- 748
Several studies have identified transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) as a potential tool in the rehabilitation of cerebellar disease. Here, we tested whether tDCS could alleviate motor impairments of subjects with cerebellar degeneration. Three groups took part in this study: 20 individuals with cerebellar degeneration, 20 age-matched controls, and 30 young controls. A standard reaching task with force-field perturbations was used to compare motor adaptation among groups and to measure the effect of stimulation of the cerebellum or primary motor cortex (M1). Cerebellar subjects and age-matched controls were tested during each stimulation type (cerebellum, M1, and sham) with a break of 1 wk among each of the three sessions. Young controls were tested during one session under one of three stimulation types (anodal cerebellum, cathodal cerebellum, or sham). As expected, individuals with cerebellar degeneration had a reduced ability to adapt to motor perturbations. Importantly, cerebellar patients did not benefit from anodal stimulation of the cerebellum or M1. Furthermore, no stimulation effects could be detected in aging and young controls. The present null results cannot exclude more subtle tDCS effects in larger subject populations and between-subject designs. Moreover, it is still possible that tDCS affects motor adaptation in cerebellar subjects and control subjects under a different task or with alternative stimulation parameters. However, for tDCS to become a valuable tool in the neurorehabilitation of cerebellar disease, stimulation effects should be present in group sizes commonly used in this rare patient population and be more consistent and predictable across subjects and tasks. NEW & NOTEWORTHY Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) has been identified as a potential tool in the rehabilitation of cerebellar disease. We investigated whether tDCS of the cerebellum and primary motor cortex could alleviate motor impairments of subjects with cerebellar degeneration. The present study did not find stimulation effects of tDCS in young controls, aging controls, and individuals with cerebellar degeneration during reach adaptation. Our results require a re-evaluation of the clinical potential of tDCS in cerebellar patients.

Cursed with spot-prone skin since I was a teenager, I have washed my face twice a day, every day, for over 10 years (I use the teenager-style Garnier Pure Active in the morning, and the gentler, higher-end Clinique in the evening, but use whatever you like, even soap, go wild). I used to do this super-quickly, as I am usually rushing to either get out the house to work, or to get to bed, having stayed up too late…again.
Recently though, I've realised that even this tiny thing can make a difference to your mood.
Instead of frantically rubbing at your face like kitchen towel on a red wine stain, try using these seconds to actually massage the wash into your temples, sinuses, cheekbones, jawline, forehead, and, if you can, your neck and shoulders. Go through each bit in turn, and deliberately go slower than normal.
It needn't take long at all, but this small act of slowing down, even in the quickest of routines, can offer you a tiny bit of space in an otherwise busy routine. Try it, it's crazy how much it works.
As someone with greasy skin, I'm not in the habit of regularly moisturising, and have, for all of my 28 years, never really got into a routine, either with my face or body. Yeah yeah, I know, skin suicide. But at least I'm catching up now…!
As well as applying Clinique gel to my face after washing, I've also discovered the full-size bottles of Palmer's for the rest of my body. It's luxurious and creamy and sinks in beautifully, but the best thing?
It just smells like the best vanilla and chocolate cake shop you've ever smelled in your life. It might be too strong for some, but it cheers me up instantly.
Using it last thing at night after a workout and a shower, before going to sleep, is almost – almost – as good as actually eating that cake itself. Try it – or, find one with a smell you love, and use that. And you'll get softer, more hydrated skin to boot.
How has it taken me this long to discover?! Anyway – self-care. A good thing! Enjoy.
