Health Governance after Brexit: Law, Language and Legitimacy
Project start date: February 2019
Project duration: 2 years
Funding awarded by the Economic and Social Research Council
Follow the project on Twitter @brexithealthlaw
Professor Tamara Hervey, from the University of Sheffield's School of Law, is leading a two-year project with Queen's University Belfast looking at post-Brexit governance in an area that was critical in the referendum debates: health and the NHS. The project is part of the ESRC's Governance after Brexit programme.
The project team is Professor Hervey; Dr Matthew Wood (University of Sheffield's Department of Politics) and Dr Mark Flear (Queen's University Belfast's School of Law); and Dr Ivanka Antova (Queen's University Belfast's School of Law).
Guided by co-producers from the health policy sector, we are analysing the implications for health and the NHS of new post-referendum legal texts as they emerge. We are also gathering views from the public in the North of England and Northern Ireland using 'hit and run' street conversations – a novel form of ethnographic research.
We are comparing the legal language, the elite language used in health contexts, and the language of the public, focusing on metaphors and stories, to uncover the extent to which post-Brexit health governance can be said to be legitimate.
Health and the NHS remain critical to public and elite understandings of EU membership and what will be possible outside of the EU. We are studying the unfolding post-Brexit legal settlement to see its impact on health, and what experts and the public think about its meaning and significance.

Brexit, health & me: Educating young people on the links between politics and healthcare
Our team has been working with Shout Out UK to produce a documentary exploring the perspectives, hopes and expectations for health and the NHS in the aftermath of Brexit.
The documentary is freely accessible on Shout Out UK's learning portal along with helpful resources and a quiz pack. These resources are popular with school teachers and youth leaders, for teaching pupils how democracy and the media works.
The 'Brexit, Health & Me' pack will be provided free to over one thousand schools in the UK to engage students following A Level Politics courses and similar courses in Scotland and Northern Ireland, and for general civic education. The pack is perfect for home learning, which is still the norm for the vast majority of secondary school students at present.

Q: How to loop on gpio? How can gpio be used to control execution?
The following works for showing the input value of gpio63
echo 63 > /sys/class/gpio/export
echo in > /sys/class/gpio/gpio63/direction
cat /sys/class/gpio/gpio63/value

But I've tried a number of things like
while [ /sys/class/gpio/gpio63/value = "1" ]
do
    sleep 1
done

without success.

A: You're comparing the string "/sys/class/gpio/gpio63/value" to the string "1". They'll never be equal. If you're looking for a "1" as the content of the file named "/sys/class/gpio/gpio63/value" you should say
while [ "$(cat /sys/class/gpio/gpio64/value)" = 1 ]

On your plane you will find two Somali refugees. Holland does not recognize them and tries to return them by force to Somalia. In this country 450 people die or get wounded every month in political-religious conflicts. Human rights and judges declared Somalia unsafe for returning refugees. You can prevent this by protesting to the staff, by refusing to sit down and fasten your seat belt as long as the refugees are on board. You can demand respect for human rights.

The Star And Death Of Vladislav Listyev. Part 1
Difficult childhood
Sport as preparation for life
The path to journalism
Video: The Star And Death Of Vladislav Listyev. Part 1
Video: 25 лет спустя: кто убил главную звезду нового русского ТВ? / Редакция 2023, January
For many, Vlad Listyev is a mystery man. How did a boy from a simple and not very prosperous family manage to become a man of the era, one of the founders of a new, revolutionary Russian television? What is the secret of his immense popularity among the people?
A talented TV presenter, journalist, author of television programs, producer, favorite of the public, Vladislav Listyev lived a short, but unusually bright and creatively rich life. It was a difficult path for a guy "from our yard" to the top of the fourth estate - the post of general director of the ORT channel. Personal tragedy and an unthinkable, amazing career went in parallel in his life.
For many, Vlad Listyev is a man of mystery. How did a boy from a simple and not very prosperous family manage to become a man of the era, one of the founders of a new, revolutionary Russian television? What is the secret of his immense popularity among the people? People who said goodbye to Vlad Listyev after his murder, which took place on March 1, 1995, noted that his funeral could only be compared with the funeral of Vladimir Vysotsky or Academician Andrei Dmitrievich Sakharov. His death caused an extraordinary public outcry. He was truly loved, hopes for a new life were associated with him.
System-vector psychology of Yuri Burlan helps us to look at the multifaceted personality of Vladislav Listyev deeper, to understand his inner motives, to see what is not always possible to notice with a simple glance.
Vlad Listyev was born on May 10, 1956 in Moscow. His father was a foreman at the Dynamo plant, and his mother was a copyist in the design department. It seemed that little Vlad was not favored by fate since childhood. The labor was difficult. He was born weak and sickly, but subsequently, active sports activities helped him become hardy and withstand colossal loads while working on television.
No wonder, because he is the owner of the anal-cutaneous-muscular ligament of vectors, which, with good development, endows a person with colossal performance and energy, gives him the opportunity to be flexible, stubborn and strong at the same time. Yuri Burlan calls such a person a "maneuverable tank" capable of adapting to any, most difficult life situation, steadily moving towards the goal.
However, the beginning of life did not bode well. His mother was a drinking woman. The father committed suicide when the young man was in the tenth grade. For him, this was a great shock, which is the loss of a loved one, a rupture of an emotional connection for any owner of a visual vector.
Nature gives visual people a huge emotional amplitude and a rare talent to feel, empathize, which, however, still needs to be developed. A visual child requires a lot of attention, love from parents. He needs to learn how to handle his feelings, bring his rich emotions out in the form of compassion and love. And for this, Vlad had almost no conditions.
What helped him? For a while, his parents went to work in Uganda, and Vlad stayed with his aunt and godmother Nadezhda Ivanovna, with whom he apparently had a stable emotional connection and who always supported him in difficult times. He even called her mom. Although the lack of connection with his mother was so great that, according to Vlad himself, he was ready to "call any good woman a mother."
After the death of her father, her mother brought her stepfather home, not only an alcoholic, but also a drug addict. The son began to interfere with their joint drinking, and his mother sent him to a sports boarding school. Vlad could come home only on Sunday, but unlike other guys he never aspired to go there. He preferred to drive the puck in the yard or sit out in the entrance, explaining to neighbors that he was waiting for a friend.
Once he brought home a frozen puppy found on the street. He warmed up, fed. But the stepfather threw the puppy out of the window during one of the binges.
However, it should be noted that Vlad never held a grudge against his mother, took care of her until the end of his life. She drank until her accidental death and nonetheless survived her son. Vlad's kindness knew no bounds.
And yet Vladislav's visual vector was deeply traumatized in childhood. And in the future, a series of tragic events made their contribution to the collection of negative states of the visual vector. The death of the first child, disability and death of a child from a second marriage, difficult breaks and divorces with beloved women - all these are the most terrible experiences for the owner of the visual vector. Each rupture of an emotional connection is always for him a loss of the meaning of life, because the viewer comprehends life through love.
Vlad's suicide attempt after the death of his second child was made precisely as a result of super-stress in the visual vector. Usually, such attempts are rarely fatal. The fear of death is so strong in the spectator that, as a rule, he unconsciously leaves himself the opportunity to survive. So Vlad, before cutting his veins, called his aunt Nadezhda Ivanovna to say that he was leaving forever. She guessed, made it in time, called an ambulance. Vladislav was pumped out.
And yet, the power of temperament (in system-vector psychology, this means the power of desire) of Vladislav Listyev was so great that he managed to overcome that gloomy stage and all the hardships and problems that fate determined for him. Other vectors also required implementation.
Vlad has been involved in athletics since childhood, and his desire for results was supported by his environment. While his father was alive, he attended all trainings and competitions with the participation of his son, was proud of his successes. Once he said: "You have no one to rely on in this life, learn to achieve everything yourself, you never know what …"
Vlad graduated from a sports boarding school, becoming a candidate for master of sports in athletics. He was the USSR champion in running a thousand meters among juniors. His sports career went uphill. The results were impressive. That is why the coaches strongly supported his desire to become a professional athlete.
On the advice of his mentors, he tried to enter the Institute of Physical Education, but failed the acrobatics exam and left the sport forever. However, the legacy of the sports period of his life was the developed skin vector, the properties of which were later very useful to Vladislav in his organizational and managerial work on television.
A well-developed representative of the skin vector is an excellent manager. But in order for his innate qualities to develop, it is necessary to teach the child from childhood to discipline, restrictions, so that, as an adult, he can present the same requirements to his subordinates.
The young man's further choice fell on the promising profession of a journalist, and he decided to enter the Faculty of Journalism of Moscow State University. There were brought his desires of the upper vectors - visual and sound, which could be sufficiently realized in the activities of a television journalist.
For a year he was preparing for admission to the Faculty of Journalism, independently studying languages, Russian literature, publishing in a large circulation. And then with great interest he went deep into his studies at the university. So he realized the desires of the anal-visual combination of vectors. People with these vectors know how and love to learn.
The sound vector showed a passion for language learning. The soundman easily becomes a polyglot. During his studies at the university, Vlad learned three languages - English, French and German. After three years of study, he transferred to the department of international journalism that had opened by that time.
His abilities did not go unnoticed - after graduating from Moscow State University, he was offered an internship in Cuba, but unexpectedly for his entourage, Vlad refused. He decided to direct his efforts towards working for the State Television and Radio Broadcasting Company.
From then on, the powerful sound-visual intelligence of Vladislav Listyev with his revolutionary ideas and bold plans to create a fundamentally new television began to unfold. And Vladislav's anal vector connects the appearance of such television exclusively with objective and honest journalism.

Scooter Braun denies 'malicious intent' in buying Taylor Swift's back catalogue

Talent manager Scooter Braun has insisted there was no "malicious intent" when he bought Taylor Swift's back catalogue.
Braun's company Ithaca Holdings purchased the label that owned the rights to Swift's first six albums in June.
The pop star, 29, responded by accusing Braun of "incessant, manipulative bullying" through her career, and said she felt "sad" and "grossed out" about him snapping up her music.

However, the record executive has now told the Wide Open podcast: "I don't do anything with malicious intent.
"I try to do things above board.
"I try to do the right thing."

Braun, 38, went on: "Not everyone's going to be happy with everything that you do, and I think in the long-term - I've learned this over time - the truth always comes out, and I'm confident in that."
After the sale in June, Swift posted a message on Tumblr alleging that she had not been told about the deal until it was public and claiming she had suffered bullying at Braun's hands "for years", allegations Braun's camp denied.

"Now Scooter has stripped me of my life's work, that I wasn't given an opportunity to buy," she said.
"Essentially, my musical legacy is about to lie in the hands of someone who tried to dismantle it."
Last month Swift confirmed she plans to re-record her old songs so that she can own the new versions.
Asked on CBS Sunday Morning if that was her plan, the singer replied: "Yeah, absolutely."


If you've been following the music scene in the Pacific Northwest at all over the past 5 years, you'll already know the name Ayron Jones. The guitar virtuoso has been wowing audiences, supporting globally revered artists, and solidifying himself as a force to be reckoned within the rock and roll genre. His latest LP, Audio Paint Job, to be released by Barrett Martin's Sunyata Label, seamlessly mixes Jones's blues-rock sound with a Northwest hip-hop sensibility that gets the listener closer than ever to his raucous, engaging live performance.
In the first single, "Love is the Answer," Jones's lyrics are impartially in tune with the current political climate, and through this lens, he conveys a powerful message that resonates through the entire album. "We can't stop the fighting," he sings, "we're all to blame." But as is evidenced by the song title, his message isn't hopeless, and he hits that point home in the heavier hitting rock numbers like "Stand Up," featuring a breakdown that almost deliberately calls up RATM's(Rage Against the Machine) "Killing in the Name of" and "Take Me Away," a confessional and personal track featuring some of that squealing guitar work we're used to from Ayron.
Produced by Seattle legend Barrett Martin and mixed by another Seattle legend Jack Endino (who famously recorded Nirvana's Bleach for $600), Audio Paint Job is the most cohesive and realized Ayron Jones has sounded to date. Ayron's love for the hip-hop genre comes through most palpably in "Mr. Jones," where his vocal stylings and guitar chunking sound something like Anderson Paak singing on a Weezer record. I mean this in the most flattering way possible, and the song really hits its stride when it morphs faultlessly into the louder, more defiant "Rockstar." Similarly, the use of strings to compliment the edgier sounds of Ayron Jones and The Way is effective on "Play Me a Song," featuring some of the most impressive guitar work on the album, on an acoustic guitar no less, in a rare and delightful departure from his usual blues-fueled electric riffs.
Despite the shimmering production, the standout tracks to me were the most bare-bones. "Emily," a love song with raspy lead vocals and easily the hardest rocking guitar solo, stays true to the blues-rock genre without compromising the individuality of the new album. "Yesterday" showcases Jones's most impressive vocal recording to date, foraying into R & B territory with uncanny finesse. It features some Hammond B-3 organ work that would make Ray Manzarek swoon, (although the full album credits haven't been revealed, I'd be shocked if it was performed by anyone but local organ greats Delvon Lamar or Joe Doria) and it feels like the kind of song the band really loves to play.

Indiana-North Carolina matchups
INDIANA BASKETBALL
Jeremy Price 812-331-4342 | jprice@heraldt.com
Yogi Ferrell, 6-0, 180 and Nick Zeisloft, 6-4, 210 vs.
Joel Berry II, 6-0, 195 and Marcus Paige, 6-2, 175
Either way these matchups play out, Ferrell (17.1 points per game, 5.6 assists per game) will have the advantage in one, but North Carolina the edge in the other. Berry has become the more potent offensive factor as UNC's second-leading scorer at 12.8 points per game, while Paige is scoring 12 ppg while shooting a career-low 33 percent from 3. Zeisloft has been coming on defensively and had steady 3-point shooting (42.5 percent) offensively, but must find a way to be a factor at both ends.
Troy Williams, 6-7, 215 and Collin Hartman, 6-7, 215 vs.
Justin Jackson, 6-8, 200 and Brice Johnson, 6-10, 230.
Williams (13 ppg, 5.9 rpg) is a thrill a minute, but that's mostly been a good thing since he was held scoreless at Michigan State, averaging 15.4 points per game since. But he's also got to be a factor rebounding against the size of North Carolina. For the Tar Heels, Jackson (12.1 ppg, 3.9 rpg) can be similarly mercurial, although his length defensively can also be a game-changer. Give the edge to whoever winds up being the more steady performer. Meanwhile, Hartman and Johnson couldn't be more different. Hartman is a perimeter-oriented player who does all the little things, from screening to floor spacing to help defense. He's also been limited shooting-wise by an injured wrist. Johnson is a thin, athletic pogostick who is a national player of the year candidate averaging a double-double of 16.8 points and 10.5 rebounds per game. The question is which player will be pulled more out of his comfort zone.
Thomas Bryant, 6-10, 245 vs. Kennedy Meeks, 6-10, 260
UNC's Meeks carves out space for 9.0 points and 5.8 rebounds per game, but was slowed by a midseason knee injury and inconsistency. He can be a dominant player at times and disappear at others while struggling to defend on the perimeter or in the pick and roll. Bryant (11.9 ppg, 5.7 rpg) enjoyed one of this best games of the season against Kentucky last week, but more important than his actual point production will simply be his presence on the floor against UNC's deeper frontcourt. North Carolina ranks eighth nationally with 14.1 offensive rebounds per game, so blocking out will be a critical part of the job.
Both teams boast their conference's Sixth Man of the Year in the Hoosiers' Max Bielfeldt (8.0 ppg, 4.6 rpg) and the Tar Heels' Isaiah Hicks (9.4 ppg, 4.8 rpg), and both use their reserves to bolster their overall versatility. With Robert Johnson questionable due to an ankle injury, Indiana will see the bench make them bigger and longer with the 6-8 OG Anunoby and 6-7 Juwan Morgan likely to see time both inside and out. Anunoby is a critical X-factor against UNC for his versatility and athleticism. North Carolina essentially has a third point guard in Nate Britt and a utility guy in 6-6 Theo Pinson, who is key if the Tar Heels go small with four perimeter players. There's also 6-11 Joel James and 6-8 Luke Maye to bring even more size to the table.
Tom Crean vs. Roy Williams
The edge in experience going this deep in the tournament goes to the 65-year-old Williams, who is making his 17th trip to a Sweet 16 as a head coach between UNC and Kansas. Overall, Williams holds a career mark of 780-208. Crean, who turns 50 today, is making his third Sweet 16 appearance with Indiana and fourth overall. he reached the Final Four with Marquette in 2003. Crean's overall coaching record is 338-214. He is 11-8 in the NCAA Tournament.

Left: Kurdish YPJ fighter. Right: 1930s Spanish Revolution fighter
A small contingent of Canadians are organizing the 1st North American Expeditionary Force to fight alongside Kurds in Iraq and Syria against Daesh (ISIS), and some Canadian soldiers are already on the ground (see Canadian media reports here, here, and here). Though the group is only a few months old, the Facebook page and related communications for the 1st NAEF has been flooded with requests for information on enlistment by thousands of Canadians interested in joining.
The ideological underpinnings of the various Kurdish militant groups, and moreover the diverse political practices expressed in the various autonomous Kurdish regions, are amorphous. One group, the YPG/YPJ operating in western Kurdistan/Rojava which has defended the city of Kobane from Daesh attack, is noted to be essentially anarchistic and comparable to the Spanish anarchist revolutionaries of the 1930s (see article by/interview with David Graeber here and here). YPG/YPJ also has an active foreign fighter recruitment campaign (see Lions of Rojava FB page).
However, there has been some controversy within the international anarchist community about whether to support the Rojava revolution (see linked interview above). The crux of the issue for some in the international anarchists community seems to be the degree to which the Rojava revolution has cast off the Stalinist attributes of the Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK), which does not gel with an anti-state/anti-authoritarian stance. Examples of this controversy are a statement by the Anarchist Federation on Rojava and a post on the Ideas and Action site which call into question the legitimacy of the revolution.
On the other hand, there have been supportive responses to these criticisms in other anarchist and radical outlets, such as an article in Roarmag, as well as a post on anarchismo.net, which notes:
This is an issue of principle: opposing oppression, and taking sides with the oppressed. Therefore we do not take a "purist" position that seems to be neutral, but that in practice equates oppressed and oppressor as equal evils.
To what degree these sorts of ideological issues matter to those Canadians fighting or wishing to fight in Kurdistan is unclear. From statements made by the soldiers themselves, it is apparent they have a sincere desire to help people fighting Daesh, with no motives of personal gain — these are not mercenaries or soldiers of fortune. In a way, this connects the Rojava revolution and the broader struggle of the Kurdish people even closer to the Spanish revolution of the 1930s: first of all in that similar factions were/are involved in both struggles; but also in that many of the foreign fighters who joined the international brigades to fight in Spain were not motivated by ideological allegiances to anarchism, socialism, communism, etc., but were, rather, simply interested in fighting on the side of the good (see documentary on Canadians in Spanish Revolution).
Thinking about this conflict, about the genesis of Daesh, about the potential contradiction of supporting militant forces ostensibly fighting for a Kurdish state, about the forces fighting to create no state at all, has been unsettling. Overall, I find myself in agreement with the notion raised above of not taking a purist position, and do indeed feel it is right to support the Kurds, to support the Rojava revolution, and to support those Canadians wishing to fight alongside them.

One thing many beginning business owners wonder about is whether or not they need a business plan.
The short answer is: Yes. You do need a business plan. At the very least, you need something to guide you as you grow your business.
The real question should be: "What kind of a business plan do I need?" Reason being that if you're planning on getting a bank loan or finding investors then your business plan needs to be far more detailed than if you're bootstrapping.
Bootstrapping refers to funding a business over time with the money that is coming in from the business. You may also put up some of your own money to get started.
This is unlike using a loan where you're taking on business debt. It's also unlike looking for investors where you're using other people's money.
Even though it's your money, you still need a business plan. Otherwise, you run the risk of not making a return on your investment. The difference is your business plan may not need to be as detailed and in-depth because a bank isn't requiring certain information from you.
On the one hand, this is kind of a relief because you may not need to dig up so much data. On the other hand, you also don't really have a format to go off of, which is why many business owners who are bootstrapping make the mistake of skipping this part. Or, since there is no format when you're bootstrapping, business owners get overwhelmed trying to create a more traditional business plan when it may not actually be needed.
How is this business actually going to make money?
What is the marketing plan for the business?
What are your target revenue goals and by when are you planning on achieving them?
Even if you're not necessarily looking for potential sources of funding, creating a business plan will help you figure out structure, marketing and some of the financials.
Some businesses take on debt as a form of capital. It's a very common practice among corporations and small business owners can take advantage of it as well.
If you're applying for a business loan through a traditional lender (i.e., a bank) you're going to need to create a pretty in-depth business plan that breaks down all the financials. They'll also want to take a look at how the business is currently doing financially.
Unfortunately, since The Great Recession there is sometimes a bit of a Catch-22 when it comes to trying to get business loans from a traditional lender. You could have the best business plan they've ever seen, but according to a report published by Harvard Business School, many business owners are complaining that traditional banks simply aren't lending to small businesses unless they are already making money. Many are also being negatively affected by their personal credit scores.
That's where alternative lenders have come into play. These are run by private companies and are a bit more lenient when it comes to lending money. While you may not need an in-depth formal business plan and they won't look at your credit score, they are going to want to take a look at what industry you work in and the current cash flow in your business.
A business plan is especially important if you want to raise capital from investors. You have to convince these people to take a calculated risk by handing you their hard earned money.
With investors, you'll need to justify where the money will be spent and how it's going to make a profit with as much detail as possible. In other words, when you want investors you can't just slap random ideas together. The business and its processes need to be laid out in explicit detail for serious consideration.
While every business is in need of a business plan, the reality is a bootstrapping small business owner may not need to same kind of plan as a startup looking to raise capital from investors. Regardless of what kind of a business you have and how it's being funded, even the most basic business plan can help you determine some key factors that will lead to your success.

Queen Vocal Harmonies Live
25.02.2013 10:18 Hi All,
I ducked out of collecting and only lately have I begun collecting again and listening to the better ROIO's and bootlegs. Lately I revisited Glasgow April 30 1977 and whilst in the past I always preferred the showy live versions of STL, from the eighties the vocal harmonies sung live of these DATR tour struck me. Queen reall ywere two different animals between 70's and 80's and of course it's subjective which was better. Certainly Freddie's voice was best between Crazy Tour '79 and Hot Space. Although in places in The Works and Magic tour were also excellent, however the vocal harmonies between Freddie, Roger, Brian seems to have long gone.
When did these harmonies peter out?
25.02.2013 16:29 Excellent observation. I much prefer Queen from the early years when they were more 'musical' i.e. the showbiz aspect was always secondary to the music. In the 1980s when (to a large extent) they moved from arena rock to stadium rock, they lost some musicality. I love STL live: they can;t replicate the studio but they do a great variation of the song. They made an effort. Same with 39, Liar, Best Friend etc. Later, their live arrangements were much simpler. Synths took over. They got a bit lazy. They still did some harmonies e.g. Killer Queen, Radio Ga Ga etc., but it wasn't quite the same and I can;t put my finger on it. Maybe the harmonies on the studio tracks were simpler than in the 1970s. I also think Brian did much less singing than before, or maybe his mic was turned down a bit. Roger continued to be a major back-up to Fred, for example in Under Pressure which is fantastic live.
Anywa, I'm sure much of that is balls and no doubt will be torn apart but this is a good topic and I wanted to keep it alive :)
26.02.2013 09:57 Holly, thanks for the reply another soul from Norn Irn!
26.02.2013 10:18 I've always loved Roger's BV live. Not having to sing lead for +2 hrs like Fred, he managed to go for the high notes every time and always delivered. Under Pressure was awesome, specially on the Magic Tour.
26.02.2013 17:55 The harmonies went when Queen became a stadium rock band, as did the intricacies of Brian's guitar playing, the ukelele and John's triangle.
27.02.2013 10:15 The harmonies were always there, but from 1977 onward they were less consistent.
The ANATO tour was their musical peak on stage. Everything was focused on the music then, and after the that the costumes and lighting rigs started to slowly take over.
27.02.2013 15:06 Bob
Thanks for your reply, insightful as ever. The Boston January 30 1976. Is a great example of Queen in the ANATO period in great sound to appreciate the intricacies of Brian's playing, some nice touches from Roger & the harmonies. I noticed while listening to Thank You All, Knebworth that while Roger did still add great BV's they just aren't always synchronised so well as on earlier tours. I suppose that was evolution, both periods strengths & weaknesses.

27.02.2013 20:56 ^ LOL
05.08.2014 06:35 I love this topic so I'm keeping it alive a little longer :)
I noticed ina recent clip of Queen+Lambert, Dragon Attack in Toronto that Rog & Brian are still doing background harmonies and they both sound okay (Rog especially) but in oncert with lambert it doesn't sound that smooth. They used to talk about the distinct characteristics of Fred Brian and Roger's voices melding together to create something a bit special. See the recent Fairy Fellows live release for evidence of that. Lambert's voice is different to Fred's obviously: it's not as "full" and seems to me to be a bit shrill in the higher register. All three voices together just don't sound that great (although I'm sure in the concert arena on the night they can get away with this -- power always triumphs over subtlety at a live rock concert). Just a personal opinion. I know classic Queen often messed it up live too. They weren't perfect but often there was magic there. I don't hear any vocal magic in the harmoinies any more.

i'd agree in part with this. however i don't think they sound bad now.
The other thing to remember is that BM and RT are older now, and while they can still sing, their voices have changed with age so maybe this becomes more evident when they sing together.
Also The Cosmos Rocks contained very little of the traditional sounding Queen hamonies, You could put this down to a lack of Freddie, but BM seemed to be able to cover this on his first two solo albums.
05.08.2014 08:01 ^^^^ oops sorry people.
fras444
05.08.2014 16:20 Haha John gave a good 110% effort in the vocal harmonys between 74 when he got his mic for the triangle and 77 according to queen live when his mic was all but permanently turned down...
06.08.2014 04:57 John is audible on quite some bootlegs. No, his voice wasn't great, but still. He can be heard very clearly on the Earls Court video (STL, ITLOTGR f.e.)
Do you think he mimed 'all day long' in Fred's mic? I don't think so. Why would you act in front of a live audience?
06.08.2014 16:51 Fuck no totally agree with you rick I think the Milan 84 radio gaga...? Was proof! Every single one of those moments when he was at his mic... he was legitimately singing! And his mic was never turned off... Just real low, an example was in south America. You could just hear a whisper when Freddie sung into it when he had mic problems..
You could almost describe his Milan and somebody to love at earls voice as a squeaky high pitch almost falsetto hence why I feel you never really hear him in in the all day long bits. The visible effort he puts into that part, something is coming out of his mouth...!
It is like Israel and it's nuclear weapons. They never confirm or denied having them just like Roger and Brian never confirm or deny that John sings... But there is legit proof that Israel has weapons and that john dose sing!
06.08.2014 18:12 Please keep the Israel/Gaza conflict out of this forum
08.08.2014 04:56 Live, the early stuff up to about 79 was great, but rather annoyingly on nearly every live release they have put out, the backing vocals are always (for me) mixed way too quietly, and Brian is always especially low in the mix. Really frustrating. However, hopefully The Rainbow is looking to be an exception based on the clips released so far. Once they got to the Works and Magic tours 80s it tended to be that Roger was covering Freddie's parts when his voice wouldn't hit the top notes, and so instead of Fred signing the studio lead line and Roger doing a high harmony it tended to be Roger singing the high studio line and Fred taking a lower harmony.
In the early days, the studio harmonies were very Roger-heavy, but as the years went on Brian's harmonies on record got higher in the mix, and Roger's lower. (examples usually being Brian's own songs such as 'I Can't Live with You', 'The Show Must Go On', 'Headlong')

Exploring the "Lore of Nutrition"
You've convinced me to read the book! I had followed the trial and was so appalled that Dr. Noakes was on trial for his opinions which he expressed on social media. You do that too! I have been on a ketogenic diet for 4 years and haven't felt this good in a very long time as well I've lost 35 pounds and kept it off. Thanks for this post, Doc!
Great how you've managed to improve your health. Congrats.
You're absolutely right. There was a mixup with the letters, my bad. It's been fixed now.
Thanks for reading so thoroughly.
Thanks for helping us all to stay informed Dr Sigurdsson. It takes time, effort, deep analysis and courage to seek, wade through, consider and report on these matters and what we can do to best take care of ourselves and each other. So thank YOU.
Thanks Doc. Noakes is always an interesting read, in particular his early work on sports drinks and their place in long term endurance events (he is very critical of them and the data supporting their use).
In the dietray domain I feel he let's himself down. Often he presents in the first person and uses ancedotes on occassion which are the lowest form of evidence available. Its important to dissect 'fats' as they can't be lumped together just like 'carbs' are incredibly variable. No-one argues that fish oils and tran-fats are both fats, but clearly have different effects within our bodies. To suggest that fructose and complex carbs e.g.fibre within oats should be lumped together is simplistic.
Both camps (LCHF/HFLC) have elemenst of truth and have more in common than they care to admit: Fruit, vegetables, lean meats, fish are probably 'good.' How do you define 'good?" Trans fats-poisonous, dairy-debateable, added sugars-fructose in particular, bad. Complex carbs-ok, depending on your insulin sensitivy….
Thanks for an insightful comment Neil.
Just a quick 'Thank you!' Alex. I continue to read and very much enjoy your blog. Like Neil Jarvis posting below, I remain on the alert for analysis that provides greater break-down of broad food groups (carbohydrates, fats) with discussion of the varying effects of the (many!) sub-categories; will I find that sort of discussion in this book? In any event, thank you again, very much, for your efforts to keep the 'bright white light of evidence' (an expression I liked from my years in the law) on our constant search for health-related information and developments.
Noakes doesn't seem to be particularly interested in the breakdown of carbohydrates. He just wants as little of them as possible. However, he's mainly promoting that approach for people with insulin resistance (IR) and not necessarily the general population.
So, his message is no carbs or very small amounts for those with IR. But maybe the types of carbs become important for the rest. At least most of us tend to think so.
I'm half-ways through the book, Axel. It's a slow read for me as I'm not skim reading. I think it's great. I agree with one criticism, which is giving credence to people like Perlmutter and Mercola. It isn't that much of what they say is correct, or probably correct, but it's untested, and some of Mercola's stuff is just quackery. Now, when you're trying to promote a lifestyle change, which for me has been extremely successful (I'm the same height as Tim, was the same weight as he was and am now the same weight as he is!), the temptation is to seek all the publicity you can get, and Mercola has huge exposure, but I think it's a bad idea. You should stay 100% scientific. Otherwise you're open to attack.
Mind you, many of those who attack Tim, should take a dispassionate look at the evidence they have for their diet (mostly none), before criticising him.
You're right. Of course the quality of evidence may vary and there's always a risk than one uses cherry picking to promote a concept. That's something we have to live with and try to see through. I completely agree about your take on Perlmutter and Mercola.
Indeed. The story is that there's plenty of pseudoscience around and the message is to exercise critical thinking. Just by looking at your review with selected quotes, one can easily see Noakes' myth-making in action. Statin denialism and insulin fantasies. Nothing new, that is.
And I know you have many sympathizers.
I suppose so. There are many people who value critical thinking and abhor ideological nonsense.
Then there are those who call nonsense "honesty" and "bravery".
Yes. We live in a cruel world don't we.
What does the author mean statins have not been proven in primary prevention? Just look at WOSCOPS and 20-Year follow-up. These 6,500 Scottish men (I am 25 % Scottish) has tremendous benefit from Statin use in primary prevention. They all had similar lipid profiles to me with average ldl-c of 177.
That said, statins are not a magic bullet for everyone to take, but I think they are worth the risk in middle aged men with hypercholestremia. WOSCOPS proves it!!
Hi David. It refers to the lack of effect on all cause mortality in randomized trials of statin treatment in primary prevention.
Now, if all you have is slightly elevated LDL-cholesterol and normal HSCRP then statins might not be good for you. But, it seems to me that folks with very elevated ldl-c the risk of taking statins is outweighed by the benefits…….
For those of us with genetic cholesterol problems diet can only help so much!

Specialty: Social Networks and Substance Use
Anamika Barman-Adhikari, PhD is an assistant professor of Social Work at the University of Denver. Her experiences in research, policy, and clinical services have coalesced in her current scholarly goals and agenda. These experiences have collectively helped her to formulate an academic agenda, which is devoted to the prevention of HIV and substance use among high-risk youth and other vulnerable populations. Her research interests are broadly centered on understanding the social-contextual determinants of risk and protective behaviors among vulnerable populations, such as homeless and minority youth. Her research broadly has four core foci: 1) survey-based research examining how face to face social networks and norms shape the risk and protective behaviors of marginalized populations such as homeless youth; 2) understanding digital practices among homeless and other minority youth and young adult populations; 3) developing and disseminating programs that utilize innovative technology to increase social connectedness and preventive behaviors in these populations and 4) using innovative observational and computational methods to evaluate interactions in both face-to-face and online social networks. The goal of this research is to inform prevention interventions that acknowledge these contextual environments and utilize social network methodology to determine how these new ideas can be disseminated and sustained using a community-based participatory research approach.

Kimberly Bender, PhD is a professor of social work and Associate Dean of Doctoral Education in the Graduate School of Social Work at the University of Denver. Her area of expertise is development and adaptation of interventions to prevent adolescent problem behavior. A majority of her work has narrowed in on psychosocial interventions for homeless youth. She has conducted a five-state multi-site research project with homeless youth through shelter, drop-in, and transitional housing services to better understand risk and protective factors in this population. She has published extensively in the areas of substance use, trauma, post-traumatic stress disorder, and broader mental health concerns experienced by homeless youth. Dr. Bender currently serves as principal investigator on a NIDA-funded three-year randomized trial of a mindfulness-based cognitive intervention to prevent victimization and substance among shelter youth. She earned the university-wide Distinguished Scholar Award in 2015, and in 2014 she was designated Public Good Faculty of the Year in acknowledgement of outstanding commitment to the public good through community-engaged research. Dr. Bender teaches courses in mental health intervention with youth and research method. She has been recognized with several student-nominated awards, including the Excellence in Mentoring Doctoral Students Award in 2013 and 2015, and the Excellence in Teaching Award in 2010.

Specialty: Employment
Kristin M. Ferguson, PhD, MSW is an associate professor at the Arizona State University School of Social Work and the Director of the ASU Center for Human Capital and Youth Development. Her research focuses on understanding and mitigating the environmental and psychosocial factors that contribute to youth homelessness. Her intervention research is largely participatory and community-based, in which she partners with social service organizations to design, implement, and evaluate the feasibility and effectiveness of interventions for homeless youth that integrate employment and clinical services, including supported employment and social enterprises. Dr. Ferguson also focuses on understanding the service gaps and clinical and vocational needs of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer/questioning (LGBTQ) homeless young adults. To inform her intervention research, since 2008 Dr. Ferguson has been working with homeless youth researchers across seven U.S. cities to collect data on homeless youths' risk and resilience characteristics, including housing status, transience, educational and employment history, substance use, mental health, and coping skills. Collectively, these findings affirm distinct patterns across cities and suggest the need to develop customized interventions by city for homeless young people.
Hsun-Ta Hsu
Hsun-Ta Hsu, PhD
Specialty: Social Networks and Sexual Activity
Hsun-Ta Hsu, PhD is an assistant professor at the University of Missouri School of Social Work. His focus is on health and health disparities of homelessness. He investigates both risk and protective factors for this population such as personal characteristics, social network properties, and community environment. His intent is to develop or adapt interventions to meet prominent needs. Dr. Hsu's dissertation was focused on reduction of HIV risk in homeless men through evidence-based (EB) interventions. From this work, he modified and finalized an evidence-based intervention manual that he plans to pilot within shelter agencies. This intervention aims to increase homeless men's consistent use of condoms, decrease risky sexual activities, and decrease their number of sex partners. In the process of developing the modified EB intervention manual, he conducted focus groups with both shelter agency providers and homeless men, asking three questions: Is addressing HIV a critical issue for you, is addressing HIV a priority for you, and what should be addressed in an HIV intervention? For homeless men, HIV was both a critical issue and priority to be addressed compared to providers who felt that HIV was a critical issue but not a priority. The providers' priority was to provide housing for the homeless populations. In other research, Dr. Hsu investigated perceived safety and security, and resulting effects, of homeless individuals who just transitioned from homeless to permanent supportive housing (PSH). He supplemented an existing project with block-based neighborhood observation data to understand the relationship between the perceived safety and security among individuals transitioned to PSH and the neighborhood characteristics of their assigned housing locations. Dr. Hsu's homelessness research has previously focused on large metropolitan areas. He is interested in conducting similar research in smaller, more rural towns and comparing the results to his previous findings. Again, the development of effective evidence-based interventions to address homeless individuals' health related needs is his ultimate goal.

Sarah Narendorf, PhD
Sarah Narendorf, MSW, PhD is an assistant professor of social work at the University of Houston. She has focused her research on ensuring a successful transition to adulthood for marginalized young people. She is particularly interested in the transition to young adulthood for youth with mental disorders who face additional challenges including homelessness and involvement in foster care or the juvenile justice system. This interest has led her to investigate where, when, and what type of services can most effectively support these young people as they navigate both developmental and institutional transitions. Dr. Narendorf's interest in mental health services stems from a decade of practice experience working with children, youth, and adults across the continuum of care from school outreach to the maximum security unit of a state mental hospital. Her interest in adolescent mental health began in Houston through her work doing street outreach with Youth Advocates, Inc. and Communities in Schools. Her practice experience informs both her teaching and research and has fueled her desire to ensure that her research is relevant to social work practitioners. Dr. Narendorf received her BA from Rice University, her MSW from the University of Houston and her PhD in Philosophy in Social Work from Washington University.She is a licensed clinical social worker.

Robin Petering, PhD
Specialty Area: Violence
Robin P. Petering, PhD, MSW is a recent graduate from the USC Suzanne Dworak-Peck School of Social Work. Her research is centered on understanding the social determinants of risk behaviors among vulnerable youth populations such as homeless. Her focus has previously been on understanding both interpersonal and intimate partner violence within homeless youth, a subject that is relatively understudied. Utilizing innovative research methods, her work aims to elucidate patterns in social networks of youth and how this relates to risk and protective behavior. The goal of Dr. Petering's research is to create innovative prevention techniques that consider the importance of social-environments and to determine how these new ideas can be disseminated and sustained using a community based participatory research approach. She was funded with a National Institute of Health NRSA F31 fellowship that will support her continued research on gang involved homeless youth (F31-MH- 108446-01A1). Dr. Petering is currently the lead methodologist for the Greater Los Angeles homeless youth count. She also serves as key personnel on the California HIV/AIDS Research Program (CHRP) grant entitled "Peers and Social Media to Promote HIV Testing and Treatment for Homeless Youth" which will test the effectiveness of artificial intelligence to reduce HIV risk taking behaviors in homeless youth populations.

Q: Which statement is true about the following sequence: $f(1)=1,f(2n)=f(n),f(2n+1)=f(n)+f(n+1)$ ETA: In case someone notices the similarity, this question is not a duplicate of this one.

Which statement is true about the sequence $\{f(n)\}$:
   $$
\left\{
\begin{array}{l}
f(1)=1 \\
f(2n)=f(n) \\
f(2n+1)=f(n)+f(n+1)
\end{array}
\right.
$$
  a)All prime numbers appear in $\{f(n)\}$
  b)All Mersen primes appear in $\{f(n)\}$
  c)A finite set of primes appear in $\{f(n)\}$
  d)Just primes of the form $4t-1$ appear in $\{f(n)\}$

It's seen that $f(2n)=1$ but I'm not sure that $f(2n+1)$ generates which primes...

A: Hint. Consider the values of $f(2^m)$, for $m \geq 0$.  What values are taken on by that subsequence?
Now consider the values of $f(2^m+1)$, for $m \geq 0$.  What values are taken on by that subsequence?


Non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC), accounts for approximately 80% of all lung tumors, that are a leading cause of cancer-related mortality in the world. Several protocols of monotherapy have been attempted with some success in a limited number and selected cases with several delusion and even failures. Combination therapy, may present some advantages and should be considered as a potentially promising approach. Although it has been proposed in certain conditions, yet it has not fully exploited. We have conducted an in vitro study on two non small cell lung carcinoma cell lines, namely A549 and H1299, that differ for the status of p53 protein (wid type and null respectively). We proposed a therapeutic approach based on the combination of anti EGFR drug (Gefitinib) and PDT (ALA-PDT). The combination is potentially efficient since the drug and PDT appear to target different cell growth pathways. The occurrence of simultaneous damages to different sites may improve the efficiency in killing the target cells. Gefitinib, is a synthetic EGF receptor inhibitor that blocks EGFR signal transduction pathways, responsible of the promotion of cancer cell proliferation. Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a cancer treatment whose principal cytotoxicity is mediated by the production of reactive oxygen species that efficiently damage sub-cellular components. We demonstrated that specific combinations of Gefitinib and PDT treatment exert synergistic effect on cell growth inhibition of A549 and H1299 cells, and above all it strongly deranges the mitochondrial activity and cell proliferation. Interesting enough, such combinations contained Gefitinib at concentrations below the canonical effective value, so that the possible noxious side effects associated with the drug can be minimized. Having analyzed several molecular pathways upon individual and combined treatments, we observed that the two cell lines respond not identically at molecular levels especially as cell cycle and nuclear involvement are concerned. In particular PDT treatment induced S-phase block in H1299 and DNA damage. The latter observation was strengthened by the activation of damage sensor-proteins (ATM, ATR) plus the recruitment of histone H2AX. A549 cells did not perform similarly. Tentatively, this different behaviuor can be ascribed to the different status of the p53 protein in the two cell lines. In contrast, the behaviour of NF-B pathway, does not significantly differ in both cell lines. In fact the activation of NF-B transcription factor activity did not change following treatment with Gefitinib, was slight reduced following PDT, while in combined conditions a significant reduction in NF-B was observed. This decrease was determined by the the PDT-mediated inhibition of the proteasome, another recognized target in cancer therapy. In our systems we observed that the proteasome inhibition was primarily caused by PDT treatment, but it was efficiently sustained by Gefitinib. This fact explains the efficiency of the combined therapy.
