Plot[edit | edit source]
Lara Croft travels to Mexico in order to take down a Trinity cell along with Jonah Maiava, While traversing a treacherous cavern, Lara is trapped though she manages to free herself. While climbing to get back onto the trail, Jonah informs Lara via radio of the imminent arrival of a V.I.P., Trinity leader Dr. Pedro Dominguez.
Lara finds a site Trinity had already found. Lara took pictures of the site for later study, and Jonah joins her. Whilst inspecting the elaborate stone work, including a damaged portion of the monolith, Lara inadvertently triggers the explosives left by Trinity, leading to temple's collapse, and escapes. The pair head back to the town of Cozumel, during the Day of the Dead festival. Lara informs Jonah that she has deduced that the clues lead to Peru.
Trinity Dr. Dominguez is in town, seeking a temple. Lara tails him making her way through the town and eventually into the nearby jungle. Finding another entrance, Lara finds a chamber inside, with a mural depicting several cataclysms, a tsunami, a storm, an earthquake, and a volcanic eruption. Finding a ceremonial Dagger, Lara realizes that it's what Trinity is after. Jonah urges her to reconsider, in case something bad happens. Lara intercepts a Trinity transmission that Dominguez is near. Lara impulsively takes the dagger. A sudden tremor causes part of the mural depicting the tsunami to crumble and break. Lara realizes she's made a mistake. She calls Jonah on the radio and warns him to get to higher ground.
Lara makes her way outside, fighting through a group of Trinity solders. One soldier catches Lara off guard and she drops the dagger. Dominguez arrives and tells his men not to hurt Lara. He asks for the box as well, Lara brushes him off saying it's safe. Dominguez realizes that Lara doesn't have the box, and berates her for her actions, telling her that she has set the apocalypse into motion, Dominguez and his men leave in a helicopter. Lara is horrified to see a tsunami rushing towards her. She manages to get to higher ground, she finds Jonah and tells him they need to get to Peru now or else Dominguez will get the box first, Jonah yells at Lara that they need to help the people who are trapped before they do anything, leaving Lara to look horrified at the destruction she has caused.
After managing to get a plane, the pair head to Peru, near their destination the second cataclysm hits, the storm, and causes their plane to rip in half separating Lara from Jonah, and both sections of the plane crash. Lara awakens, and makes her way through the dense jungle after finding some gear from the section of plane that crashed nearby. Lara receives a transmission from the pilot who had also survived the crash and heads deeper into the jungle. She finds the pilot dead, having been eaten by a jaguar, which Lara keeps focused on before she is attacked by a second. Both leave, and Lara presses on. She later encounters the jaguars again, she kills one, and the other takes it's mates' body and leaves. Shortly after, Lara finds Jonah, and the two press on searching for civilization. While trying to get through a collapsed entry, Lara is attacked by the jaguar again, which mauls her back, though she manages to kill it. Lara and Jonah make camp for the night.
Lara dreams of her childhood, searching through Croft Manor, for hidden secrets. She finds her mother's atelier, and inside, her jewelry box and bracelet. Lara hears a gunshot and rushes to her father's study, where she finds him slumped over his desk, dead.
Lara awakens, to find Jonah already up. The pair press on and find the town of Kuwaq Yaku. They go to a local bar and meet Abby, a mechanic and de facto mayor of the town. They join her for a drink and ask her about any local ruins, showing her photographs. She says she recognizes one of the symbols from a nearby temple. Lara heads to the temple, telling Jonah to stay and rest, having sensed a spark between Jonah and Abby.
Lara heads to the temple where she is later joined by Jonah. finding the symbol Lara realizes that the mural has been tampered with and covered, and sets about restoring it. Finding a passage through, she sees another temple, and makes her way there. Lara finds a mural depicting a journey, starting at a jaguar's mouth. Abby calls Lara on the radio and tells her that the Jaguar's mouth is back at the temple she started.
Lara heads back to the temple through the trees and sees Trinity soldiers being slaughtered by a strange creature. Getting back to the temple, she finds Jonah and Abby have uncovered stairs leading deeper down the temple. Stepping onto the path, a trap separates Lara from Jonah and Abby. Abby says she might know another way around.
Lara heads on an finds several challenges to be conquered, emerging at the other side, she finds a young boy in Mayan style clothing, being advanced upon by a man in Mayan armor, bearing the mark of Trinity. Lara kills the man, and frees the boy. Several other soldiers advance on them but they are quickly dispatched, by the boy's mother and her men, identifying the boy as Etzli. Lara is taken prisoner, a bag placed on her head to stop her from identifying the path.
Lara is taken to a room, where she is addressed by the woman who captured her, introducing herself as Unaratu. She the rightful queen of Paititi. She asks what Lara is doing, and Lara truthfully tells her that she is seeking the Silver box of Ix Chel, in order to stop Trinity from seizing the power to remake the world. Unuratu allows Lara to attempt to find the box, though she reveals that they have also captured Jonah, and insists he stay in case Lara is lying. She offers Lara a change of clothes allowing her to blend in, and leads her through the town to the entrance to the sacrificial chamber. In town they encounter a small procession, for Unuratu's challenger to the throne, Amaru. Lara is shocked to discover that it's none other than Doctor Dominguez.
Unaratu, gets distracted by a man who seeks to kill Dominguez, and stops him, telling Lara where to meet Etzli in order to find the entrance to the sacrificial temple. Joining the young prince at the temple entrance, he tells Lara to follow the smell of death, and that she can use the irrigation system to get out when she's done. Lara makes her way inside and finds thousands of people the cult has sacrificially slaughtered. Deeper into the cavern, Lara finds an item that is shaped like a serpent and figures it's what Trinity are looking for. Lara finds the irrigation system and leaves.
Arriving back in the village, Lara witnesses Etzli being captured by the cult, and is forced to flee as they chase her. She manages to escape her pursuers and makes her way back to Unuratu's home. She informs the Queen of Etzli's capture, and the group begins to form a plan, Unuratu seeing the object Lara had retrieved from the sacrificial chamber, recognizes it as a key to an area opposite the Serpent guard's barracks. She tells Lara that there is an entrance through the old salt mine, that she can use to allow a small group in to rescue Etzli, before she heads after the box.
Lara heads into the mines and dispatches the cultists who are patrolling the area. Unlocking the gate, the rescue party lead by Unuratu heads into the area. They manage to get Etzli, however Unuratu is captured, wordlessly telling Lara not to stay and help, Lara presses on.
Heading into the crumbling remains of a temple, Lara encounters feral humanoid creatures and fights her way through. Coming a massive door, depicting the goddesses Ix Chel and Chak Chel protecting the box, Lara deduces that it must be inside and opens the door. Upon gaining access, Lara is accosted by more of the creatures, including a disfigured priestess, however they do no attack and simply seal Lara inside. Reading the murals, Lara realizes that creatures, known as the Yaaxil are actually protecting the box. Lara finds an altar, with symbols that match Unuratu's tattoos, however the box has been removed from it's pedestal. A tremor (a foreshock preceding the impending earthquake) causes the door to collapse and the Yaaxil attack, Lara manages to escape and returns to the surface.
Lara and the rebels plan an escape, sending Lara in disguised as a Serpent guard. Making her way to the Temple district, Lara finds Unuratu with Dominguez, who pleads for her to join his cause, wanting only to protect Paititi from discovery and destruction from the outside world, however Unuratu is unwilling to allow Paititi's salvation to come at the cost of all else. Dominguez orders her to be returned to her cell, before telling her that the Box of Ix Chel is gone, stolen by Andres Lopez, and that she has no way to restore the sun.
Lara reaches Unuratu. Lara informs her that she has found another clue to the box's location, asking of the meaning of her tattoos, Unuratu reveals that they are linked to the last true emperor of Paititi, and the two make their way the tomb to look for more clues. Making their way through the temple, they pass a mural which Unuratu explains shows that at the death of the sun, the box must be open, and will be presented with a vision showing her most powerful desire to tempt whoever opens. Lara asks Unuratu how she knows if she'll be able to resist temptation, to which she replied, she doesn't know, however the Crimson Fire will guide her telling her "When the Crimson Fire smokes, seek your mirror."
Reaching the tomb of the emperor, Lara finds a message left by Andreas Lopez, saying "The Heart of the Serpent is in the cup." The cult of Kukulkan attacks, and Unuratu is killed by Roarke, Lara fights off the squad sent to kill her and escapes, informing Etzli of his mother's death, he resolves to lead his people, Lara and Jonah leave by boat to continue their search for the box.
While heading down the river, Lara and Jonah are attacked by a Trinity gunship, destroying their boat and separating them. Lara emerges on the bank nearby an oil refinery, killing a soldier who sets upon her. Lara makes her way through the area, when suddenly the earthquake begins. Trying to contact Jonah via radio, Roarke comes on the line and informs her that Jonah is dead. Suddenly the earthquake strikes causing the refinery to burst into flames, and Trinity's forces set upon her. Lara falls into the water. Thinking of all that happens, Lara snaps and emerges from the water, taking a machine gun, she slaughters all Trinity's forces in the area and destroying the Winters' gunship. Looking over the destruction she's caused and the sudden arrival of Jonah, Lara breaks down. Jonah tries to reassure her and get her to figure out what their next move should be. Initially dismissive of Jonah's suggestion, she suddenly realizes that they are not looking for a Mayan site, rather a Christian site as Andreas Lopez was a missionary.
Lara and Jonah enlist Abby's help to get to the nearby Mission of San Juan, which is the nearest Christian missionary, as it is within walking distance of Paititi. Searching the grounds, they discover an underground church, which they discover the resting place of Andreas Lopez, and with him the Box. The floor gives way and Lara falls with the box, upon returning to the surface, Lara finds that Dominguez has arrived and has Jonah at gunpoint. Unwilling to lose another friend, Lara calls out to Dominguez, by his real name, offering the box in exchange for Jonah's safety. Dominguez offers that he understands Lara's pain, through his words, Lara realizes that Dominguez had ordered her father's execution. Jonah suddenly tackles Dominguez and runs with the box.
Lara makes her way through Trinity's forces, while being goaded by Roarke, all the while, the telltale signs of an impeding volcanic eruption are all around. Lara arrives to see Jonah being kicked from a helicopter, and sees that Dominguez has the box. Lara and Abby rush to Jonah as the Volcano erupts, Lara thinking there might be a chance the chopper will be grounded by volcanic debris gives chase as a mudslide ensues, though her chase is unsuccessful.
Lara and Jonah return to Paititi, and inform Etzli that Dominguez has the box, and the rebels launch a final assault on Trinity's forces. Lara spying a smoking fire remembers Unuratu's words, and heads to the source, finding the Yaaxil priestess from before, and realizes the that they are supposed to work together. The priestess identifies herself as "Chak Chel" and Lara in turn identifies herself as "Ix Chel." Lara join forces with the Yaaxil and they all attack Trinity forces defending Dominguez. Lara traverses the pyramid and confronts Dominguez, who uses the box and receives godly powers. Lara doesn't give up, and manages to steal away Dominguez's powers. With the final blow, Dominguez asks Lara to protect Paititi. Receiving all the power from the artifacts, Lara is shown a vision of a life she could have with her mother and father alive. Lara resists the temptation and walks away.
Lara now holding the power of Kukulkan, is the sacrifice needed to end the cleansing. Crimson Fire approaches Lara, and Lara gives the Key of Chak Chel to her. Lara then lays on the sacrificial altar ready to sacrifice herself to save the world. Crimson Fire makes a stabbing motion, but moments before the blade hits it stops and draws away the power from Lara.
Two days later, Lara and Jonah attend the funeral of Unuratu. Jonah decides to stay in Peru for awhile, and spend time with Abby, while Lara wants to spend more time in Paititi.
After returning home. Lara hires back Winston.

Hints for Plot[edit | edit source]
Map of the future?
The end of Rise of the Tomb Raider shows a map of the Yucatan Peninsula in Mexico, implying that Lara's next adventure will involve Mayan culture, much like in Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light.
An ID card belonging to Kennard Montez can also be seen beside the map. Montez is an agent of Trinity who Lara had several encounters with during the events of the novel Tomb Raider: The Ten Thousand Immortals. He is also believed to be the man who infiltrated Croft Manor, attempted to assassinate Lara, and stole the book on Kitezh during the early events of Rise of the Tomb Raider.
Starting on March 19th, the official Tomb Raider website launched Shadow of the Tomb Raider: Path of the Stars, a puzzle game to promote the upcoming release of Shadow of the Tomb Raider. A new puzzle is to be added each Monday, leading up to the full reveal on April 27th. When each puzzle is completed 5000 times, a new clue unlocks. So far, there has been two puzzle pieces, and an audio log between Lara and Jonah discussing a clue to a hidden city, however it states that the game will take place in the Amazon rather than Mexico. The second audio file reveals that Trinity are seeking a Creation God. The final puzzle reveals the constellation of Orion.
Development[edit | edit source]
Square Enix inadvertently confirmed the game to be in early stages of development as early as at least June 2015, during E3 of that year[6].
In August 2016, Ian Milham, who served as the Art Director for the Dead Space series and Creative Director of Battlefield Hardline, was hired at Crystal Dynamics to serve as the director for the next Tomb Raider game [7]. However, in September 2017, Milham departed from Crystal Dynamics to work in the studio Outpost Games. [8]
It was announced that Rhianna Pratchett would be leaving the Tomb Raider series in January 2017, as such, it is unknown if she contributed to the game.[9]
In December 2017, it was officially announced that a new Tomb Raider game was in development, and news would be shared in 2018. It was also stated that there would be a short window between the official announcement and release of the game. [10]
On March 14th, The Tomb Raider website was changed to show an abstract image of what looked to be a solar eclipse, with the time and date March 15th, 2018, 6:00 AM PDT, confirming the official reveal for that date. [11] The trailer did indeed release as scheduled, offering a release date of September 14th, 2018, as well as an official full length reveal trailer for April 27th.
Camilla Luddington confirmed that she would be returning to portray Lara Croft via her personal Twitter.[12]
The game is being developed for PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC, launching on all platforms simultaneously.
Shadow of the Tomb Raider went gold on July 24th 2018.
Unpatched ending[edit | edit source]
For those who purchased a physical copy of Shadow of the Tomb Raider and beat the game before downloading the Day One patch, an alternate post-credits ending can be seen. The dialogue remains essentially identical, but background items are a nod to Lara's dual-pistols and an unopened letter from Jacqueline Natla, the antagonist from 1996's Tomb Raider as well as it's remake Tomb Raider: Anniversary and the 2008 sequel Tomb Raider: Underworld.
Leaks[edit | edit source]
Shadow of the Tomb Raider was subject to an unusually high number of leaks:
On October 31st 2016, a Reddit user caught a glimpse of a laptop screen on a subway in Montreal, with a banner image showing a logo for a project titled, "Shadow of the Tomb Raider." The leak indicated that Crystal Dynamics may not be the developer and that Eidos Montreal, developer of video game series' Deus Ex and Thief would be taking over. Eidos Montreal previously worked on the multiplayer for Tomb Raider. However, given that Ian Milham was hired as the new director for Tomb Raider at Crystal Dynamics it is unlikely that Crystal Dynamics won't be the primary developer.
In January 2017, It was announced that Crystal Dynamics were co-developing a game based on Marvel's Avengers series with Eidos Montreal. Crystal Dynamics' community manager Megan Marie, confirmed that Crystal Dynamics "are still very invested in the future of Tomb Raider" confirming their involvement with the development of future Tomb Raider games. In April 2017, Tomb Raider fansite Turning Point, had a Q&A session with Marie, who stated that there would be no Tomb Raider news at E3 2017, though also hinted that there might be news later in the year. [13] However this may have been in reference to the next comic arc to bridge the gap between Rise and the next game.
In June 2017, another possible leak, showing possible logos, and concept art leaked. The concept art showed Lara with what appears to be an Aztec pyramid in the background, which falls in line with the possible setting of Mexico. Lara is also shown wielding a bow, knife and smoke grenades, as well as new weapons, such as a machete and a spear.
Square Enix's December 2017 update had a secret hidden within the text. Taking the first letter from the start of every sentence spells out the word "SHADOW" which implied that the original Reddit leak was legitimate. [14]
The teaser trailer for the game leaked a day ahead of it's scheduled release of March 15th, showing a dense jungle setting and an Aztec pyramid. [15] The trailer confirmed prior leaks such as the title and the Mayan theme.
On April 26, one day before the full reveal of the game, a magazine was leaked online that seemingly revealed that Sam and Reyes would be returning to the series, although Lara's voice actor, Camilla Luddington, said this was not true. [16] It also revealed that the game would have three special editions the Steelbook, the Ultimate Edition and Croft Edition. It also states that the game will have a Seasons Pass. In addition the Ultimate Edition would have a number of exclusive items attached to it, a Statue of Lara, a Bottle Opener that is designed like Lara's climbing Axe and a flashlight. The Ultimate Edition will also include 3 unique outfits and weapons for the game. [17]
Reception[edit | edit source]
Shadow of the Tomb Raider received "generally favorable" reviews on Metacritic getting a metascore of 77/100 on PC,[18] 75/100 on PS4,[19] and 82/100 on Xbox One.[20]
This is the fourth Tomb Raider game to feature in Peru after Tomb Raider (1996 Game), Tomb Raider: Legend and Tomb Raider: Anniversary and third Tomb Raider game to feature Mexico as a locale after Tomb Raider: Underworld and Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light.
This is also the second time Lara has visited Mexico in the Survivor Timeline.
It has been theorised that the unusually large number of leaks associated with this game were intentional as a form of guerrilla marketing.
A crossover with Final Fantasy XV for Shadow of the Tomb Raider was announced[21]. Whether this crossover will be like other crossovers Final Fantasy XV has had is presently unknown.
The game's launch trailer featured, Lara reading the poem "Because I Could Not Stop For Death" by Emily Dickinson.
Croft Manor was originally intended to feature as an eighth DLC, however it was cancelled without ever being formally announced. However it's confirmed existence lead to massive backlash from fans due to an eight DLC challenge tomb slot which simply read "Coming Soon" for several months prior to the release of the Deinitive Edition, which was accompanied by a patch that simply removed the eight challenge Tomb. However audio files were later discovered which offered some insight into what the DLC would have featured.

Cathedrals used to be depositories of some of the finest works of art in the world. Then the pesky Reformation came round and stripped many of them back to the walls. What has filled the place of the original medieval artworks has, over the years, been subject to changing tastes. While the Victorians despised all classical additions, the twentieth century in turn, had a bit of a clear-out of what they found dowdy and gloomy.
So what tat should be chucked out in a fantasy aesthetic Reformation? Let's dispense with the polite introduction that pretends this is anything other than just a list of things I don't like, and find out!
Worcester chapter house is an immensely important monument. It's the first in a long line of English centrally-planned chapter houses. The walls retain traces of painting, and the stone vault once contained a complicated sequence of Biblical scenes showing the typology of the New Testament foreshadowed in the Old. These are gone now, so when they put the café in there, they thought the best way to make up for this massive loss to English art it was by putting some paintings up on the dado that they look came for free with the frames from Wilkinsons.
I'm surprised this thing survived one night without the cleaners chucking it out. It looks like it's made out of giant pipe-cleaners. Glitter and Pritt-Stick also involved. Really all it needs is some dried pasta, paper plates and split-pins to really finish it off.
Now, actually, this one is by a proper artist, John Piper, who I actually really like. He's one of the few artists who can capture the gritty drama of a parish church rather than just making it look like something out of The Darling Buds of May. But not everything in his name is brilliant. His south aisle windows in St Margaret, Westminster, are some of the few in England that can give abstract continental glass a run for its money in sheer grimness. This thing too, I don't like. It's trying to hard to be modern and groovy. If it was commissioned for Whitbury New Town Leisure centre, it'd be fine. Worse thing is though, is what it replaced.
A fine altarpiece by Somers Clarke, which had been, shockingly kept into the triforium gallery for half a century until it was finally brought back downstairs only last year apparently. If you're going to get rid of art you find old and outdated, you best be sure you are conjuring up something REALLY inspired. Like when Michaelangelo got the go-ahead to destroy some Perugino frescoes for The Last Judgement in the Sistine Chapel. Which this is not. The Last Judgement is still unequalled in its terribilità. The Chichester tapestry has been equalled by a Fruitopia bottle.
There's loads of weird stuff in Durham. Of course I don't have any of my own photographs of any of it because I'm not going to be risk being told off by a custodian for the sake of one of these. I found this one on Google images though. Just look at it. It looks like Gumby's fallen over and a house ornament from seconds at TK Maxx doesn't look very interested in helping him up.
But worst of all are all the soapy bloody eighteenth-century monuments of admirals ascending into Heaven or a viscount knocking over a pyramid or some lady crying over a pillar that's fallen down. There was actually a plan in the nineteenth century to build a Westminster "camposanto" for all these and give them the heave-ho from the medieval abbey church. It fell through, of course. Someone needs to treat Westminster Abbey like an elderly parent who's been hoarding things around their house in plastic bags on the floor, kindly sit them down and say "Mother, we need sort this out", then hire a skip and get the lot in there.
Oh dear. After the excitement of exhuming Richard III and reordering the whole place as a tourist trap, uh, pilgrimage site, Leicester went a bit overboard and decided to redo the liturgical furniture in the crossing. Even though they had a fine carved Neo-Gothic Bishop's Throne already (in the background there), they decided they needed to replace it with something a bit more "down wit' the kids". So they got this thing that looks like the least exciting Transformer ever, made out of MDF (Magnet-tron: ha ha!). As well as looking naffer than a branch of C&A, it also has the disturbing effect of looking like it's suddenly going to collapse in on itself, crushing any occupant into a perfect cube.
I didn't really believe this thing was real so I went round the back to try and process it. Then I saw it was attached to the crossing pier, so it's not going anywhere soon, folks.
I could probably dedicate a whole post to terrible glass in continental cathedrals, but it would probably be so tedious that it would only be worth reading if you got stoned and pretended it was a lava lamp. Anyway, the stuff at St Denis, really takes the cake. All you want to do is deliver Abbot's Suger's ecstatic speech about "delight in the beauty of the house of God" but the apse is full of gaudy crap. Worst of all is this terrible pictorial one of Napoleon of all things.
I love Liverpool Anglican Cathedral. It's the last gasp of the Gothic Revival. It is truly sublime. It's almost that the space inside surpasses the mass of the object in its sheer volume. I recommend any medieval cathedral enthusiast visit: it might be a white elephant, but it's a miracle it was finished, and it's incredibly moving. However, the problem is that this green thing greets you on your way in. It's supposed to be the Risen Christ, but it's hardly Piero della Francesca: it's more the sort of thing you make out of blu-tack in a boring meeting then crush when the coffee trolley comes in. And then you have some sentimental bit of tripe by Tracey Emin on the counterfacade, that I thought was temporary but it never seems to go away. I'm getting tired now, so time to wind it up. This list isn't in any particular order, except for comedy potential, and of course I'm going to end on the worst. And most of you won't be surprised by my top choice.
So, yes. Ely Lady Chapel's foundation stone was laid on the Feast of the Annunciation in 1321, but since the crossing tower of the cathedral collapsed the following February, it's unlikely much was done except the site dug and some bits of the raft laid out. The building was resumed in the late 1330s, and perhaps benefited all the more for it, as this was really the apex for English sculpture. And the plan for Ely Lady Chapel was to have it in spades. The "nodding-ogees" of the wall arcades are vivaciously organic to the point of eroticism. Indeed, since the vescias contain statues of the royal ancestors of Christ, one might wish to hazard that it's supposed to be quite that suggestive: Honi soit qui mal y pense and all that. It's an incredible work of art, quite simply a masterpiece of Gothic. With its full sculpture, altars and stained glass, it must have been ravishing. Makes things like Giotto's Arena Chapel seem like they done on a budget.
It is of course, hacked about. The narratives of Mary's early life and her divine intercessions have been pedantically decapitated by a Reformation busybody, and the whole east wall with the culmination of the devotion to the Mother of God has of course been utterly wrecked. It was, until the early 20th century, kept as a parish church, and all the later paraphernalia such as pews and wall monuments taken out in the late 1930s. In its stripped, naked vulnerability, it has a uniquely eerie, poignant beauty, showing the preciousness and transcendence of art.
Then of course someone thinks "ooh, it's just missing something" and ruins it by putting this load of old shite bang right in the sodding middle of it.
I mean, sculpturally it's pretty poor, I'm never really sure if she's supposed to be accepting the incarnation of Our Lord through the Holy Spirit, saying "I JUST CLEANED ALL THIS MESS!" or receiving an incoming message from The Big Giant Head.
And there's also the white-washing, that she looks more like a caucasian Disney Princess than a girl from late-antique Palestine, which wouldn't be so bad if she was classically recognisable as the classical Virgin Mary. Instead she looks more like the homonymic Queen of Pop circa Ray of Light.
Right down to the crappy water-based primary colour paints applied all over the porous surface with no shading or highlights. I mean at least he didn't go over the lines.

A: How about the following. Have used Math, CSS var, template literals. With math random you can pick random colors from an array of colors. In the example the array of colors match CSS color classes.

var TxtRotate = function(el, toRotate, period) {
  this.toRotate = toRotate;
  this.el = el;
  this.loopNum = 0;
  this.period = parseInt(period, 10) || 2000;
  this.txt = '';
  this.tick();
  this.isDeleting = false;
  this.colors = ['blue', 'red', 'native'];
  this.color = this.colors[ Math.floor(Math.random() * this.colors.length) ];
};

TxtRotate.prototype.tick = function() {
  var i = this.loopNum % this.toRotate.length;
  var fullTxt = this.toRotate[i];

  if (this.isDeleting) {
    this.txt = fullTxt.substring(0, this.txt.length - 1);
  } else {
    this.txt = fullTxt.substring(0, this.txt.length + 1);
  }

  this.el.innerHTML = `<span class="wrap ${this.color}">${this.txt}</span>`;

  var that = this;
  var delta = 300 - Math.random() * 100;

  if (this.isDeleting) { delta /= 2; }

  if (!this.isDeleting && this.txt === fullTxt) {
    delta = this.period;
    this.isDeleting = true;
  } else if (this.isDeleting && this.txt === '') {
  this.color = this.colors[ Math.floor(Math.random() * this.colors.length) ];
    this.isDeleting = false;
    this.loopNum++;
    delta = 500;

A mahogany structure for 'Bridge', Talenti's outdoor-collection table.
Available round or squared. The 'Bridge' table is elegant, a furniture item that brings a touch of taste and prestige. It adapts rather well to interiors, too, and its modernity is quite refined. The 'Bridge' table: such taste, such a choice. Talenti: the Made in Italy.


Just to be clear, I still rate Enterprise 10/10 overall. And I won't skip season three when I rewatch it. I just don't like how exploration took a back-seat.
In fact, just mentioning "it's not why we're out here" in season three is good enough.
I also know that Enterprise season three was an artifact of the emerging on-demand TV situation. Basically, the networks failed to measure popularity properly. I'd much rather have that season of Enterprise than cancellation.

Q: Unable to display Swagger/OpenApi docs when using SpringDoc webflux support I have a small Spring Boot micro-service that exposes its endpoint as reactive, using webflux.
When I run the application from IntelliJ, Gradle or from the cmd line with the SpringDoc webflux support:
implementation 'org.springdoc:springdoc-openapi-webflux-ui:1.4.4'
and I go to http://localhost:8080/swagger-ui.html I get a 500 error, the logs show:
java.lang.IllegalStateException: No primary or default constructor found for interface org.springframework.http.server.reactive.ServerHttpRequest]
and the root cause:
java.lang.NoSuchMethodException: org.springframework.http.server.reactive.ServerHttpRequest.<init>()
if I use http://localhost:8080/swagger-ui/index.html?configUrl=/v3/api-docs/swagger-config
I get a 404 instead of a 500.
However if I change the dependency to the non reactive SpringDoc module:
implementation 'org.springdoc:springdoc-openapi-ui:1.4.4'
The docs are available, they just dont show return schema (I guess this is expected as the response is wrapped in a Mono).
I have looked at this question, but it didnt help
I am using Spring Boot 2.3.3.RELEASE, I have nothing "fancy" in the controller other than an autowired service class, the endpoint is simply annotated with the GetMapping and returns Mono<T>. and I have included the following dependencies:
    implementation 'org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-actuator'
    implementation 'org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-webflux'
    implementation 'org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-web'
    implementation 'org.springdoc:springdoc-openapi-webflux-ui:1.4.4'

A: Your project is using spring-boot-starter-web and spring-boot-starter-webflux.
You just need to remove spring-boot-starter-web from your dependencies.

A: I have the restriction that I need to use Webflux via Servlet 3.1, even though it's not the pure Reactive solution but I can reuse some Spring security filter with Servlet.So, I cannot just remove spring-boot-starter-web as @brianbro suggested.
Therefore, I found a solution to make springdoc-openapi-ui be able to read Flux & Mono by adding WebFluxSupportConverter from springdoc-openapi-webflux-core as an extra converter. See the following code in Groovy.
    @Bean
    public OpenAPI customOpenAPI() {

        ModelConverters.getInstance().addConverter(new WebFluxSupportConverter())

        return new OpenAPI()
            .components(new Components()
                .addSecuritySchemes("JWE", new SecurityScheme()
                    .type(SecurityScheme.Type.HTTP)
                    .scheme("bearer")
                    .bearerFormat("JWE")))
            .info(new Info()
                .title("Marketplace API")
                .version(apiVersion))
    }

So, you just need to include the libraries.
    implementation 'org.springdoc:springdoc-openapi-ui:1.4.6'
    implementation 'org.springdoc:springdoc-openapi-webflux-core:1.4.6'

A: For me in a kotlin spring boot project the problem was with an endpoint returning a Flux so it was throwing a graceful exception: jackson BeanDescription.findJsonValueAccessor not found, this could lead to inaccurate result, please update jackson to 2.9+
the approach from @Chayne P. S. solved my problem:
class OpenApiConfigiguration {

    @Bean
    fun configOpenAPI(): OpenAPI? {
        ModelConverters.getInstance().addConverter(WebFluxSupportConverter())
        return OpenAPI()
                .info(Info().title("API")
                        .description("WS restful API")
                        .version("v0.0.1")
                        .license(License().name("License of API")
                        .termsOfService("Terms of service"))
                .externalDocs(ExternalDocumentation()
                        .description("Docs")
                        .url(""))
    }
}

A: It is an old question, but I still ran into the same issue today.
I forgot to change the springdoc-openapi-starter-webmvc-ui dependency to springdoc-openapi-starter-webflux-ui.
After that it worked.


(Washington, DC) The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) will release on Wednesday its final version of a comprehensive cybersecurity framework mandated by President Obama's February 2013 cybersecurity executive order, with the final version containing few surprises, a NIST official said yesterday. "Hopefully there won't be many surprises," Adam Sedgewick, NIST's chief organizer of the framework process told attendees at the winter meeting of the National Association of Regulatory Utility Commissioners (NARUC) held here.
Since its fifth workshop on the framework in early November, NIST has fielded 2,500 separate comments on a preliminary version of the framework and posted a mid-January update on the changes the agency will incorporate as a consequence of the feedback. The release of the framework at a White House event on Wednesday (with publication in the Federal Register on the 13th) comes exactly a year to the date following the executive order, an intensely compressed time frame given the magnitude of the topic.
One critical infrastructure player, electric utility Pepco, already plans to change its procedures as a result of the framework, Susan Mora, Director of Federal Regulatory affairs at the utility said. Specifically Pepco will reorganize its core cybersecurity functions to match those contained in the framework (which are Identify, Protect, Detect, Respond, and Recover). Pepco has also volunteered to become one of the first utilities to which the framework will be applied.
State regulators play a key role in how the framework is used by utilities, primarily through the approval of cybersecurity expenses in public utility rate-making proceedings. But "rate cases appear to be a dysfunctional pathway for appropriate cybersecurity," industry consultant Andy Bochman told the utility commissioners in a presentation. The adversarial culture surrounding the approval of rate increases can derail the reality of better cybersecurity, which both utilities and regulators seek as a shared goal.

What was your experience or frustrations regarding creating a cover.
I was using a different company who had created 5 or 6 options, none of which really spoke to me. I finally chose one of them, and when I got the proof copy from createspace, it had a distinctly homemade feel. So, I knew I had to bring in a professional.
That they weren't going to be able to meet the expectations created on their website.
Everything on the website looked clean, professional and visually arresting. I knew I wouldn't be dealing with an amateur.

I couldn't be happier. It's transformed the prospects for my book.
It has already created more buzz and anticipation about my book.

Fonterra fund leads NZ stocks higher
New Zealand shares have advanced, led by Fonterra Shareholders' Fund, after the co-operative raised its milk payout forecast while maintaining its dividend target.
The S&P/NZX 50 Index rose 23.59 points, or 0.4 per cent, to 5677.93 on Thursday.
Within the index, 23 stocks rose, 15 fell and 12 were unchanged. Turnover was $130 million.
Units in Fonterra Shareholders' Fund, which give holders access to Fonterra's dividend stream, gained 4.6 per cent to $5.48.
The world's biggest dairy exporter raised its forecast milk payout for 2015/16 after posting a 183 per cent jump in full-year profit
"The confirmation of guidance was probably the key," said Shane Solly, director at Harbour Asset Management.
"Clearly there's still quite a lot of inventory to work through and the debt levels in the business are certainly substantial. If they can work through the inventory in a reasonable time-frame the debt becomes less of an issue."

336. Memorandum of Conversation1
Bucharest, August 3, 1975, 9–10:25 a.m.
Nicolae Ceausescu, President of Romania
Manea Manescu, Prime Minister
George Macovescu, Foreign Minister
Sergiu Celac, Interpreter
President Gerald R. Ford
Henry A. Kissinger, Secretary of State
Harry G. Barnes, Jr., Ambassador–Interpreter
[Page 980]
President Ceausescu began by saying that after the CSCE conference it was necessary to think about what problems needed to be tackled next. In his opinion, disarmament was such a problem. The President asked what opinion President Ceausescu had about the MBFR talks, President Ceausescu said "not much." The sorts of reductions being discussed, on the order of 20–30,000, were of a kind which could be achieved just as well through more efficient organization of any army. In addition, it wasn't really a question of numbers of soldiers, but rather of armaments, fire power, and in the first instance the US and the USSR. To take an abstract example, even with numbers, it wasn't right for reductions to be applied across the board, with Romania and Holland being subjected say to the same 10% reductions that would apply to the Soviets and Americans. The Secretary asked why this wasn't fair, and President Ceausescu replied that for the US this meant 200,000 troops and for the Soviets 300,000, but it still left their basic strength intact. The Secretary asked what 10% would mean for Romania, to which President Ceausescu replied in the order of 20,000. The element of fire power was what counted anyway. President Ford asked if what really bothered Romania wasn't 10% but what would happen when things got to 50% or 60%. This is exactly right, President Ceausescu said, and then went on to say that what counted, so far as troops were concerned, was not a transfer from say Czechoslovakia to Hungary of a couple thousand men but withdrawals. The Secretary said he wondered whether Romania really wanted US troop withdrawals given the fact that the continued presence of American troops in Europe was useful for preserving equilibrium on the continent from the standpoint of Romania, and in particular Yugoslavia. President Ceausescu said he wasn't talking about US troop withdrawals but about real reductions which should be balanced and under adequate control. What was needed was a mechanism for ensuring both reductions and control. As a matter of fact, he noted, the Chinese have done more than anybody else to bring about troop reductions in Europe by obliging the Soviets to move substantial troops to the Chinese border. The Secretary recalled that there are about 44 Soviet divisions there now and that whenever he mentions their "northern" ally to the Chinese, they tremble, not from fear of course.
Returning to the subject of disarmament, President Ceausescu said that one error that some countries, including the United States, make at times is to ignore the role of small, less-developed states. So long as the major nuclear powers make no real steps toward nuclear disarmament, the danger exists and will increase that any number of smaller countries will try to acquire nuclear weapons—countries in the Middle East, Asia or even Latin America like Brazil. The Secretary noted [Page 981] that the Indians may be in that category though they are so very moral and pacifistic. they're not all that pacifistic, replied President Ceausescu. In any event, these same countries could also develop chemical or biological weapons which are cheaper and may well be more destructive.
President Ceausescu then brought the conversation back to Europe and remarked that he would be involved before long in what would in effect be a follow-up conference to CSCE—the conference of European communist parties. It could well turn out to be even more important than CSCE itself because at it would be decided whether a communist party in say Italy or France could have its own policies or would have to take orders from outside. The President asked what attitude President Ceausescu thought such parties would take. He replied that the Italian and Spanish parties, from all he knew of their leadership, would not accept outside dictation. With regard to the Portuguese party, President Ceausescu observed it was hard to say, but the military leaders he had met, including President Costa Gomes, were definitely committed to a policy of independence. In response to the Secretary's asking where and when the conference would take place, President Ceausescu said probably in November and probably in Berlin. (After the conversation broke up Ambassador Barnes asked President Ceausescu whether he really thought agreement could ever be reached on a document to be submitted to the conference. President Ceausescu replied that eventually there would be one on the same consensus basis as used at Geneva for CSCE. In any case, he was not looking forward with any great enthusiasm to this conference but Romania would definitely participate.)
Prior to that will be the CMEA (COMECON) summit conference called to discuss integration. When the Secretary asked what would be Romania's position, President Ceausescu said it was clear—they were against it. What about the other countries in COMECON, asked the Secretary. Some of them have reservations but they'll go along, said President Ceausescu. In fact the Poles are one of the strong supporters of the plan, as are the Bulgarians. The Secretary interposed "Then you'll be isolated." "It won't be for the first time," said President Ceausescu.
The Secretary then remarked how several of the Eastern European countries had talked to US representatives at the Helsinki conference about improving their relations with the United States, and asked what would be President Ceausescu's advice as to how the United States should treat them—in what order for example after Romania of course. President Ceausescu reflected for a while and then said he thought it was worthwhile trying to improve relations with them all. The President recalled that the Bulgarian representative at Helsinki had made a [Page 982] particular effort to be friendly,2 and President Ceausescu noted the existence of good Romanian–Bulgarian relations. After he mentioned that the US had already made a good start with Poland, the Secretary asked about East Germany in view of the fact that we had maintained a certain reserve with them. President Ceausescu said that in the recent past Romanian relations with East Germany had improved considerably. At the same time what the East Germans could do was obviously limited by the Potsdam treaty and they too would always go along with the Soviets. Ambassador Barnes mentioned that for that matter all the other European countries in COMECON had Soviet troops on their territory save Bulgaria and this could not help but limit their options. The Secretary said that knowing the Germans he could believe they might succeed in uniting in 15 years. they're romantics. they'll probably set themselves up as teachers of communism to the whole world. President Ceausescu responded that he agreed they would reunite though he wasn't so sure it would happen within 15 years. (At about this point the Secretary picked up the map of Romania which had been brought in at the President's request and a geography lesson ensued which concentrated on territories lost by Romania to the Soviets—President Ceausescu talking about the "restitution" to the Soviet Union of Bessarabia after World War II and the ceding of Northern Bukovina as "damages" for Romania's having held Bessarabia for 20 years. In fact, he noted, Romania in some ways fared better at Hitler's hands because Hitler turned down Molotov's3 November 1940 ultimatum to give the USSR a free hand in Romania and Bulgaria which would have meant the Soviets taking a still larger slice of northern Romania. In the context of talking about the differences of railway gauge between the USSR and other countries, President Ceausescu noted that the Bulgarians were urging Romania to build a wide gauge (Soviet type) line across Romania, but the Romanians were not interested.
The Secretary then asked who President Ceausescu thought would succeed Brezhnev. President Ceausescu said it was just hard to say and [Page 983] the Secretary then asked what he thought about post-Brezhnev Soviet policies, would they be tougher or more flexible. President Ceausescu replied "They could hardly be tougher than they are now." "What about Shelepin?"4 asked President Ford. Saying "we've had fairly good experience with him," President Ceausescu proceeded to recount the story of the Romanian gold bullion and royal treasure sent to Moscow in 1916 for safekeeping but which has never been returned. Lenin apparently signed a decree in 1918 stating that all would be restored after the establishment of a workers' and peasants' government in Romania. In 1960 the Romanians inquired of the Soviets whether they were yet prepared to believe that such a government had been installed in Romania. The initial Soviet reaction was to deny any knowledge of the gold, but Shelepin subsequently was one of those who was in favor of at least taking a serious look at the Romanian request. The Secretary noted that for someone like Shelepin it's hard to make a comeback once You've lost your power base, and that the ranks of the Soviet leadership is no place for choir boys. President Ceausescu said the truth of the matter is that the whole present Soviet leadership is made up of people who got where they are thanks to Stalin, and only with a change to younger people will there be some real changes in policy.
The Secretary then asked whether Brezhnev had firm enough control to be able to make decisions stick. "On little, unimportant things" responded President Ceausescu, "like—MBFR." What did he think of Brezhnev's health? He said he was of course no doctor, but his own personal view was that Brezhnev would finish the same way Pompidou had. When the President wondered whether Brezhnev was aware of this, President Ceausescu said it was hard to say, citing Pompidou as having announced two days prior to his death that he was in good health.

Carbon monoxide campaign launched to highlight BBQ dangers
Jul 10 2012 Posted by Laura Canning
The charity Carbon Monoxide Awareness has launched a campaign to highlight the dangers of carbon monoxide poisoning from barbecues, in memory of victims of poisoning including 14 year old Hannah Thomas-Jones who died on a campsite in May.
The campaign was launched in the House of Commons today (10 July) as a joint initiative between Carbon Monoxide Awareness and Cornwall Fire and Rescue Service. Several retailers including Tesco, Morrisons, Homebase and B&Q have agreed to support the campaign by putting up point-of-sale notices in their stores for barbecue equipment.
Hannah Thomas-Jones died from carbon monoxide poisoning on a campsite in Shropshire when the family left a disposable barbecue in the porch of their tent to keep them warm. Last year, Tracy Screen died in similar circumstances on a campsite in Wales when she was overcome by the fumes of a disposable barbecue brought into the tent at night for warmth.
An inquest last week found that six year old Isabelle Harris, who had collapsed and later died in hospital while on a camping trip with her parents in the New Forest at Easter, had died from carbon monoxide poisoning after a portable barbecue was brought into the tent overnight.
Lynn Griffiths, President of Carbon Monoxide Awareness, said: 'We shall be working with Fire and Rescue services across the UK to get educational and awareness packs to the UK holiday industry for the benefit of holiday-makers. We shall also be targeting campsite owners and their staff with information on how to recognise the presence of carbon monoxide in enclosed tented areas caravans.
'We don't want to see another death or injury from a barbecue during a music festival, Olympics or summer holidays.'

Subject: GREETINGS FROM U.A.E
From: "Abdul H. Ahmed" <abdul22h1@mail.az>
To: pki-tc-chair@lists.oasis-open.org
Date: Sat, 18 Sep 2004 11:46:55 +0400
Greetings from U. A. E,
This letter must come to you as a big surprise, but I believe it is only a day that people meet and become great friends and business partners.  I write you this proposal in good faith, believing that I can trust you with the information I am about to reveal to you.
I am Engr. Abdul H. Ahmed, one of the top Directors of Procurement and Contract Award with, U. A. E Ministry of Petroleum and Mineral Resources [MPMR].  I am contacting you concerning the transfer of US$15.6 Million Dollars (FIFTEEN MILLION, SIX HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS)
Sometime ago, a contract was awarded by my Corporation, [MPMR] to a Russian contractor Late Mr. Ziya Bazhayev a Russian big time Oil dealer, to supply equipment's to the Emirates Petroleum Products Company (EPPCO) and turn around maintenance at the Refineries.  This contract was over invoiced to the tune of US$15.6 Million.  I reached a compromise with the late Mr. Ziya Bazhayev to transfer the fund into a separate foreign bank account for me at the end of the contract, but unfortunately he died in the plane crash of Yak-40 jetliner on March 9, 2000. You will read news about the plane crash on these sites, http://www.amarillonet.com/stories/031500/usn_LA0703.001.shtml and
http://news.1chinastar.com/ll/english/61934.shtml
Now that the complete contract sum has been approved for payment, I need a trustworthy foreigner who I shall present as a contractor to the U. A. E Ministry of Petroleum and Mineral Resources [MPMR] and the over-invoiced contract sum will be paid to him. I require the assistance of a foreign company in order for me to move the funds out of the country. I will handle the process of approving the Contract sum and I guarantee that this transaction will be executed under a legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any breach of the law.
I want you to state how you wish us to share the funds after the transaction.  Since each party is playing a vital role, as I cannot claim the sum without your help, every party must be satisfied. Contact me immediately if you are interested for further details and state the percentage you wish to have.   I look forward to a fruitful business relationship with you and your urgent response is need.
Engr. Abdul H. Ahmed.

The worst of times
Focus on... the Cayman Islands
Unemployment reduces wellbeing. Recession raises the demands on healthcare systems and makes it harder to pay for them. Doctors worldwide are having to adapt and change to cope with these additional pressures, says Sarah Whitehouse
The impact of the recession on healthcare reads like a gloomy checklist of the multi-symptom patient: increased stress, depression and anxiety; an increase in alcohol consumption; an increase in stomach and digestive problems; and an increase in obesity.
A study by the Insight Research Group of 300 UK GPs reported that 17% noted an increase in requests for terminations of pregnancy specifically because of financial concerns.1
Skin complaints are even on the rise. Research by the British Skin Foundation suggests that nine out of ten dermatologists have noticed a marked rise in eczema, psoriasis and other skin conditions triggered by stress.2 Most dispiritingly, international research suggests that for every 1% increase in the unemployment rate, there is a 0.78% increase in the rate of suicide.3
A Guide to MPS Membership
The impact on doctors
But what does all this mean for doctors? Primary healthcare, often the first point of contact, has been hard hit. The Insight Research Group also reported that 77% of UK GPs feel there has been an increase in new cases of mental health conditions in the last four years directly linked to the economic climate.4
Secondary care, too, has been affected. In the UK, almost 6,400 people were admitted to hospital with stress between the period January – May 2012, 47% up on 2007-8, when the economic crisis hit.5 In the Caribbean, public healthcare systems are being stretched as the recession forces more patients to move away from private care. Dr Nancy Boodhoo, MPS Head of Operations, Caribbean and Bermuda, says that this is a particular issue for obstetric care because of spiralling costs.
Remember your professional obligation to take a thorough medical history and an examination if necessary – and document both
Maintaining standards
One of the biggest challenges facing doctors is balancing an increase in patients' needs with maintaining high standards of care. Remember your professional obligation to take a thorough medical history and an examination if necessary – and document both. Record keeping standards can easily slip if a consultation over-runs, but it is important to stop and make notes before rushing to see the next patient.
Be aware too of "by the way" comments, where symptoms might be mentioned in passing as the patient is on their way out of the door. These symptoms can often be the real reason behind an appointment, so make sure you record them. If it is not urgent, or you do not have sufficient time to give the patient your full attention, you should ask them to come back.
If you find that you are so overstretched that the situation is in danger of putting patient safety at risk, or your health begins to suffer, you should raise your concerns within the appropriate channels, for example a senior colleague or your employer.
Act within your competence
MPS has received a number of calls from hospital doctors who feel uncomfortable at being asked to provide cover for an area they do not normally specialise in due to staff shortages. For example in psychiatry, adult psychiatrists are often asked to step in and cover children and adolescent psychiatric care.
Dr Ming-Keng Teoh, MPS Head of Medical Services (Asia) explains that some medical private practitioners seek to maintain their income (as patients turn to the public sector) by choosing to take on a wider range of treatments (eg, GPs undertaking cosmetic procedures), as well as patients (paediatricians seeing adult patients, obstetrics and gynaecology consultants examining patients with breast lumps).
Doctors who choose to do this are practising in areas beyond their expertise and may fail to refer appropriately. You have a professional obligation to work within your competence – and should raise your concerns with a senior colleague or employer if you are asked to perform a procedure that you are unsure of.
Speaking this year at an MPS conference for newly-qualified consultants, MPS Head of Medical Services Dr Nick Clements said: "There has to be a balance between the patient's interests, the need to control budgets and where the doctor's duty lies in these difficult circumstances. Often, the buck seems to stop with you, the doctor. If a patient cannot get the treatment they want, or the drugs they want, they will blame the doctor who is saying no. Doctors need to have the right communication skills to handle these situations carefully and manage patient expectations."
There has to be a balance between the patient's interests, the need to control budgets and where the doctor's duty lies in these difficult circumstances. Often, the buck seems to stop with you, the doctor
Some patients see making a claim as a financial opportunity in these tough times. In Ireland, the average size of claims against doctors has increased by 37% between 2007 and 2011. Dr George Fernie, MPS Senior Medicolegal Adviser, says: "There has always been tension in Ireland with the public and private mix, but it's been magnified with the recession. We have seen a case where a doctor reasonably asked a patient on long-term prescription to come in for a review, but the patient felt that this was financially motivated and lodged a complaint." You should always explain your reasons for calling a patient in for a review, clearly explaining the health benefits and the need for follow-up.
Delaying a visit to the doctor
In some countries, the economic downturn means that patients are accessing healthcare less frequently. In Ireland, those without Medical Cards are increasingly putting off making an appointment, which can have an impact on early diagnosis and the treatment of long-term conditions. Requests for telephone consultations are on the rise, and with them the risks of potential missed diagnosis.
Failure to diagnose is a common cause of a complaint or a claim, so it is important to have a low threshold to invite the patient in for a review. Dr Brian Charles, Emergency Physician and MPS Consultant, based in Barbados, says: "A particularly worrying trend has been patients 'waiting to get better' before seeking medical care, particularly those with medical insurance who have to pay upfront and wait for reimbursement later. This has resulted in patients presenting to primary care physicians later in the course of their illness, with more complications."
It is important to have a low threshold to invite the patient in for a review
Despite the impact of the recession being less marked in Hong Kong, Malaysia and Singapore, which generally have more private practices and less welfare spending, Dr Teoh says: "Recession has had an impact in the public sector, reducing the number of consultations, as patients are less likely to take time off work to seek healthcare. They cannot afford the time, rather than they cannot afford the cost of healthcare itself."
A reduction in patient numbers has also led to many doctors in private practice resorting to longer opening hours, more practice promotion activities and more turf battles between doctors. The respective Medical Councils do not permit doctors to promote their practice or advertise or canvass for patients, and so doctors may find themselves in murky medicolegal waters if they do try to seek new patients in this way. They are advised to consult and seek legal advice if unsure.
Where does a doctor's duty lie?
The conflict between a doctor's duty to their patient, and the patient's ability to pay, can be all too real. An MPS GP, based in Ireland, describes a case where a patient with depression wanted to wait to pick up his anti-depressant prescription until he was paid. The GP was concerned – the patient had severe depression and was at risk if he did not take his medication. The GP spoke to the pharmacist and agreed to postpone the fees for a few days until the patient was able to pay.
Private practitioners are frequently faced with the ill patient who cannot pay and they too must be compassionate and not put that patient at harm by denying appropriate care
Dr Brian Charles, Emergency Physician and MPS Consultant, based in Barbados, says that in the Caribbean: "Private practitioners are frequently faced with the ill patient who cannot pay (or at least, cannot pay at the time of the encounter), and they too must be compassionate and not put that patient at harm by denying appropriate care. All must be done to ensure that these patients are stabilised and properly referred onwards for the complete care they need."
Yet doctors must retain a degree of realism. They cannot be responsible for putting right the social and financial woes of all their patients, as well as their ill health. To do otherwise may well result in burnout for the already overstretched doctor. In the UK, the GMC, in Good Medical Practice, states that good doctors: "Make the care of their patients their first concern", but "must make good use of the resources available".6 Unfortunately, these are not finite.
One small positive can be gleaned from the UK GP research into the effects of the recession on healthcare: 38% of GPs believe that patients who smoke are giving up or cutting down to save money.7 However, the pressure cooker of reduced health and increased demand for healthcare continues to affect most doctors.
Dr Clements sums up: "Do the best you can with the resources available. Make sure that any resource-related decisions are fair and based on clinical need and remember to be open and honest with patients about the constraints."

Danielle Mouton, 24: Was Homeless & May Have Been Kidnapped In 2010
Home » Danielle Mouton, 24: Was Homeless & May Have Been Kidnapped In 2010
Brenwanda Smith Vanished From A Bus Depot In 1997
No matter what someone's background is, they deserve to be protected. When deciding who to cover here on Our Black Girls, I don't weigh someone's story or value against another to determine who should be reported on. I've had perplexing conversations during this time of protests and revolutionary calls for political and social change. Some have told me that women who put themselves in unsafe situations or entertain certain lifestyles should not be taken into consideration. That's not how I work, nor is it the way I believe the world should operate. While Danielle Mouton lived a lifestyle that's considered to be "high-risk," that doesn't mean that her story shouldn't be shared.
According to the National Missing and Unidentified Persons System, Danielle Mouton was 24-years-old when she was last seen on August 2, 2010, in Tacoma, Washington. Reports state that it's unclear who the young mother was with when she was last seen, but it was known that Danielle was homeless and involved with prostitution and drug abuse. Throughout the years, Danielle's family has held out hope that she will one day return home.
"It's likely that some of the people who knew her, and she was pretty well known in the downtown area, likely someone might have their memories intact and might be willing to come forward with information," Tacoma Police Detective Lindsey Wade said back in 2017. "The fact that she's been gone for over seven years, we suspect something bad happened to her."
Investigators believe that Danielle Mouton met with foul play or may have been kidnapped. However, how they came to those conclusions hasn't been shared with the public.
At the time of her disappearance, Danielle Mouton stood 5 feet 4 inches to 5 feet 5 inches tall and weighed 145 to 150 pounds. She had black/dark brown hair and brown eyes. Both of her ears are pierced. She was reportedly last seen wearing a "black blouse, a rust-colored jacket, green slacks, rust-colored wooden shoes and a Cartier watch with a black band," according to The Charley Project. Danielle also has tattoos: "Marmar" and "Lady Koko" are two words inked on her upper left arm,
Anyone with information regarding this case is urged to contact the Pierce County Sheriff's Office at (253) 798-7530 or their local authorities. The Agency Case Number is 101600564.

The family rode in two cars to The Grand Strand and Silver drove with an 11-year-old. The child told her grandmother that Silver smoked marijuana while driving, according to the arrest report.
An argument started between Silver and her mother and the 30-year-old walked outside, where the grandmother found her again smoking marijuana, the report states.
Later, Silver was making a Hot Pocket and yelling at her mother in the living room. The victim told police that Silver approached and started to push and hit her and sat on her back and pinned her. Silver then grabbed her mother by the throat, according to the report.
A 10-year came in and tried to push his mother off his grandmother, the report states, and was hit several times. The grandfather entered the room and settled the fight for a moment.
Silver went back to the Hot Pocket, threw it in the grandfather's face and burned his nose, the report states.
Silver's mother called the police as her daughter left. Officers found her a few blocks away, hanging out and drinking with some homeless men, the report states. Officers found drug paraphernalia and a substance believed to be marijuana in Silver's purse.
As officers tried to put her in a patrol car, one of the handcuffs came off and Silver tried to pull away. Officers pinned her against the car and had to take her to the ground to re-cuff her.
