Concerns have been raised after all of the partners at two Bristol GP practices suddenly resigned.
Management staff at Bishopston Medical Practice and Charlotte Keel Medical Practice in Easton announced they are to resign from their contracts on December 7.
NHS England has since stepped in and lined up private firm BrisDoc to take over the running of the two surgeries, which care for nearly 30,000 patients between them.
But concerns have been raised about whether BrisDoc will be able to fulfil this role and what impact a potential takeover might have.
GP partnerships are practices run as a business, with some or all of the doctors who work at the practice also partners in the business, sharing its profits and costs between them. They take on patients on a contract from the NHS.
A medical professional, who asked not to be named, said: "BrisDoc might be the preferred bidder but there isn't actually a provider in place for either practice and a lot of patients are rightly very worried about this.
"A lot of GPs are being put in difficult positions by the NHS. Funding cuts are putting vulnerable patients at risk.
"Doctors are being asked to work in unsafe conditions and practices are collapsing as a consequence of the pressure doctors are being put under by NHS funding cuts.
"These are unlikely to be the only practices in Bristol where partners give up their NHS contracts in the coming months."
It is unclear why the partners at Bishopston Medical Practice have decided to resign their contract.
When approached by the Bristol Post, staff at the practice said they had been instructed to refer all media queries to NHS England.
The partners at Charlotte Keel Medical Practice, however, said they had decided to resign their contract in response to reduced funding by NHS England and the Bristol Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG).
In a statement, Charlotte Keel said under the proposed funding cuts, the practice's baseline funding would be slashed by a staggering £150,000 a year, phased in over five years.
"On the basis of these funding changes, the partners have been forced to conclude that, from April 1, 2018, we would not be able to deliver a fair and adequate service to our patients, who already face significant health inequalities," the statement read.
"In giving notice now, before the full force of the funding cuts take effect, we trust that we are acting in the best interests of the patients and staff of the Practice in allowing another organisation, with likely access to additional resources and funding streams, to take over the management of a fully functioning practice."
A spokesperson for NHS England said BrisDoc - a company originally formed by Bristol GPs to provide out-of-hours services, which now employs more than 300 people - was the 'preferred bidder' in the procurement process and that they were "confident" the firm would take over the management of the two practices in February 2018.
"We are absolutely committed to securing the best care for patients at Bishopston and Charlotte Keel," Debra Elliott, NHS England South West commissioning director said.
"While we urgently finalise arrangements for a replacement management team, it will be business as usual at the surgeries.
"We'll then work closely with patients, staff and other stakeholders on what services are needed for the future."
Pending the awarding of the contract, BrisDoc will be expected to manage the Bishopston and Charlotte Keel practices for two years, while NHS England identifies a long-term solution.
The spokesperson stressed that while the resignations were announced last week, the partners at Bishopston will not hand over their contract until February 7 while the partners at Charlotte Keel will not hand over their contract until March 31.
According to the latest figures, Charlotte Keel Medical Practice has 17,234 registered patients and Bishopston has 10,428.
Patients with any queries about the announcement are asked to contact NHS England via 0113 825 5299 or england.primarycaremedical@nhs.net.

Ana Carlota Fernández García (ur. 10 listopada 1989 r. w Madrycie), lepiej znana jako Ana Fernández García, jest hiszpańską aktorką i piosenkarką znaną z roli Sandry Castillo w Los protegidos, a obecnie także z roli Carloty w serialu Telefonistki.

Życiorys
Ma dwójkę młodszego rodzeństwa, Carlosa i Marię, która zagrała młodszą siostrę Sandry w serialu Los protegidos. Pierwszy raz wystąpiła już w wieku 3 lat w mini-serialu El joven Picasso. Rozpoczęła przygodę z teatrem w wieku 14 lat, a jej najbardziej znanym występem w teatrze była Helena z Troi. Zaczęła studiować reklamę i public relations, jednak nie ukończyła studiów.

Znana jest głównie z dwóch ról telewizyjnych: Sofii w serialu Cuestión de sexo w latach 2007-2009, który przyciągnął dużą widownię i zapoczątkował karierę Any Fernandez; oraz Sandry w Los protegidos, gdzie występowała w latach 2010-2012.

Latem 2011 roku zamierzała zagrać w pierwszym filmie, Duchy ze szkolnej ławki, ale musiała odrzucić tę propozycję z powodu nagrań do serialu Los protegidos, mówiąc o przyczynie: "Filmów jest wiele, Los protegidos tylko jedno".

Współpracowała z takimi magazynami jak Telva i Vanidad, dla których robiła reportaż wspólnie z Aną de Armas i Blancą Suárez. Występowała w kilku wideoklipach takich grup jak Forraje i Marea.

3 marca 2013 roku rozpoczął próby do sztuki teatralnej ¿Por qué yo? autorstwa i reżyserii Beléna Verdugo, a jej premiera odbyła się 27 września 2013 roku w Madrycie.

W lutym 2016 roku dołączyła do ekipy serialu Amar es para siempre, gdzie wcieliła się w postać Carloty Hidalgo. W sierpniu tego samego roku potwierdzono, że zagra jedną z głównych ról w serialu Netflixa Telefonistki.

W sierpniu 2019 roku wydała singiel "No quiero estar contigo", jej debiut jako piosenkarki.

Życie prywatne
W latach 2010-2011 była w związku ze swoim partnerem z planu Los protegidos, Luisem Fernández Estébanez. Od początku 2012 roku do 2015 roku spotykała się z Santiago Trancho, operatorem programu Frank de la jungla, który zginął 7 marca 2015 roku w wyniku wypadku motocyklowego w pobliżu Galapagar.

Obecnie, od stycznia 2016 r., aktorka utrzymuje relację z wokalistą rockowym Adrianem Roma.

Seriously loving these detail shots from Valentino's S/S 11 runway show. A functional and chic strap for carrying around an oversized clutch. Plus, who's going to mess with a girl carrying a studded handle handbag?
P.S. Make sure to enter the Shopbop Till You Drop giveaway below & come back tomorrow for another super exciting giveaway from one of my favorite handbag designers!
Yes, the clutches are cool... but I'm in love with the snippets of outfits visible in the runway photos! That first dress is absolutely fantastic.
&& do you have any recommendation on good fashion books? I haven't finished Sugar & Spice yet, after that I am gonna read Style. How do you like it? She looks lovely in the pictures.
PS: Love the new banner!
yes!! that is nice....I use to hold the handle of my bag....and this seems to be a easier option!!!!
OHH those fabrics are beautiful!!!
I totally agree with Hannah! That first dress is amazing.

Pssst! Shopping around for a new mattress? Check out my Wink Mattress review! As this site is all about giving you a better sleep, we came across the Wink Mattress because it's Certi-PUR certified. This means it is a mattress that is healthier for you compared to a conventional memory foam mattress. But what else can the Wink Mattress offer you? Is it firm enough to give you enough support? Is it comfortable? What's this CoolControl all about? Let's find out!
Before I start my Wink mattress review, if you think you can squeeze more life out of your current mattress, have a read of my post When Should I Replace My Old Mattress.
If you are having trouble deciding between a memory foam mattress and an innerspring mattress, you really should consider the Wink Mattress. It's a bit of both. Manufactured in the USA, this mattress received high scores for durability. It is supportive and works for all sleep positions.
This hybrid design combines the comfort of a foam mattress with the support offered by an innerspring mattress. But, it costs a whole lot less than either type of mattress when you shop at a regular brick and mortar mattress store.
WinkBeds is a company that doesn't like to think of itself as a mattress company. Instead, they prefer to think of themselves as part of the health and wellness industry.
Based in Wisconsin, the company uses high-quality materials that are sourced in the US.
All materials are eco-friendly and Certi-PUR-US Certified. These mattresses aren't sold in stores, so there is no middleman, which means no additional fees are going to be tacked on. This is one of the reasons why the Wink Mattress is so much less expensive than comparable hybrids.
These mattresses aren't sold in stores. No middleman means no additional fees are going to be tacked on to the price you pay for this mattress. This is one of the reasons why the Wink Mattress is so much less expensive than comparable hybrids.
What Makes the Wink Mattress "Healthy"?
The first thing we are going to look at in this Wink Mattress review is what makes this mattress healthy. Memory foam is made from petroleum. You might be concerned about lying on something that is 100% synthetic and contains toxins that you are breathing in whilst you sleep. I know I was. Looking for a healthier version of memory foam mattresses, with fewer toxins and chemicals is a key focus of this Wink Mattress review and my entire site.
Memory foam is not sourced from a healthy material. It's made from petroleum! You might be concerned about lying on something that is 100% synthetic and contains toxins that you are breathing in whilst you sleep night after night. I know I was. Looking for a healthier version of memory foam mattresses, with fewer toxins and chemicals, is a key focus of this Wink Mattress review and my entire site.
All of the foam used to create the Wink Mattress is CertiPUR-US Certified. This means that there are no ozone-depleting chemicals used in the manufacturing process. There are no PBDE flame retardants, and there are no heavy metals, mercury, and lead.
The Wink Mattress is made without the use of formaldehyde (which can be found in mattresses), and there are no phthalates. It is also low in emissions (off-gassing).
So, if there are no chemicals used in the manufacturing of the Wink mattress, how can it be fire retardant? Well, not all fire barriers have to be made with harmful chemicals.
The fire barrier for the Wink Mattress is made from a blend of wood pulp (rayon), polyester, and natural cotton. These materials work together to create a natural fire barrier.
This Wink Mattress review is doing to dig deep into the many layers of this hybrid mattress.
1-inch Hypersoft foam layer, 1.5 pound density, 17 ILD.
1-inch Premium Gel foam layer, 1.5 pound density, 17 ILD.
4-inch innerspring micro air-spring coil, encased in foam.
Individually-wrapped pocket coils, encased in foam.
2-inch support foam, 1.5 pound density, 28 ILD.
Lumbar pad crafted from pre-compressed, densified cotton.
Tencel and stretch-knit fabric cover.
This mattress is 15 inches thick all together, while most comparably priced mattresses are only 10-12 inches thick.
There are two inches of foam on the top, so it has the feel of a pillow-top mattress. The two-inch foam top layer means you will not feel the springs. Compare the top layer of the traditional innerspring mattresses with the two inch top of the Wink Mattress. There's an added bonus in this two inch top layer: it contains gel to help cool you down if you sleep hot on a memory foam mattress.
There's an added bonus in this two inch top layer: it contains gel to help cool you down if you sleep hot on a memory foam mattress. This mattress also has some other features that will make your sleep more comfortable if you sleep hot. I will be covering these a little later in this Wink Mattress review.
The layer of foam-encased coils allows the mattress to breathe, adding to the cooling features. It also provides you with support while you sleep.
There are more than 1,000 coils in each mattress. Other mattresses with the same coil count can cost upwards of $3,000.
The other layer of coils is what really adds to both the comfort and support of this mattress. This is actually the layer that makes the Wink Mattress ideal for heavier-set folks.
It is not healthy to overheat and sweat during your sleep. For one thing, you could end up with a chill after tossing off the blankets. If you do sleep hot and are desperate for ideas to cool down, read my post "Overheating While Sleeping? 7 Tips On How To Cool Down In Bed and Before Bed." Alternatively, check out WinkBed's CoolControl, a major innovation in mattress technology to let you sleep cool or warm, whatever the weather.
The CoolControl feature lets you adjust the temperature of the mattress. But, it gets even better. You can adjust both sides individually, so you and your partner can both enjoy your ideal sleeping temperatures.
If you get too cool, you can always change it to warm it back up again, and vice versa.
The technology used for CoolControl is modeled on the technology used to heat and cool car seats.
This is great for those cold winter nights, or in the summer when it is almost too hot to sleep. You might not even have to sleep with a noisy fan anymore if you use this mattress.
We love that you can set your perfect temperature, and so can your partner! The CoolControl base lets you lower the temperature by as much as 10 degrees, or increase it by as much as 30 degrees. Each side can be controlled on its own, or you can control it as one unit if you sleep alone.
Each side can be controlled on its own, or you can control it as one unit if you sleep alone.
From the Wink Mattress reviews I read, the CoolControl feature is quiet. It's not like having a generator under the bed!
It is also energy-efficient, so you don't have to worry about it draining your power and running up your bill like an air conditioning system would.
What is the CoolControl Base Made Out Of?
The CoolControl base is exclusive to the Wink Mattress. It is made from a combination of wood panels, a support grid made from strong steel, and four fans that help to condition the air and keep the mattress nice and cool while you are sleeping.
The patented conduction process conditions the air from your bedroom. The air filters through the mattress right up to the surface, where the heat rises and you are left with a nice, cool mattress. Both cool and warm air circulates through the base right into the mattress. The foams and micro AirSprings help to disperse this air, and then the fresh air goes into the base. It may seem like a complicated process, but all you really need to know is that you will never sleep too hot or cold again.
It is super-easy to control the temperature of the Wink Mattress. You can download the free CoolControl iOS app. Or, you can use the remote that comes with the mattress if you do not have a mobile phone. The CoolControl is easy to install. Plug it in, attach the air-flow tubes, put the mattress on the base, and turn on the CoolControl feature.
Your body needs to be properly supported while you sleep so you don't wake up stiff and sore.
The Wink Mattress enables you to customize it to your preferred firmness level. You can get the exact amount of support you need without having to add anything to the mattress, such as a topper.
Who Can Sleep on this Mattress?
Some mattresses are meant for smaller people.
Some are best for side sleepers, while others are best for those who move around a lot.
One of the things I really like about the Wink Mattress is that it is ideal for any type of sleeper, whether they are large or small in physical stature.
Because of the combination of foam and springs, you get the cradling comfort that people love in a foam mattress, with all of the support offered by a traditional innerspring mattress.
When you buy a mattress in a store, you have to arrange for some way to get it to your home. If the store doesn't offer deliveries, you have to get it home all on your own. Or, you can order a foam mattress online, and then you have to unbox yourself and let it sit for a few days to expand and off-gas. The Wink Mattress does things differently.
First of all, you can expect your mattress to arrive within 7-14 days of placing your order. Of course, this will depend on where you live, and if you have had your mattress made to order.
If you select free delivery, the mattress and foundation (if you choose to get the foundation, which is recommended), will be delivered to your home at no additional charge, but you have to set it up. There is also another delivery option that is less work for you.
You can also choose the premium delivery option, "white glove service".
In addition to delivery to your home, it will be taken to the bedroom it is meant for, unboxed, and set up on your existing bed frame. All of the wrappings will be cleaned up and taken away. For just $99, this service is worth it so all you have to do is enjoy your new mattress (you will have to install the CoolControl base yourself) after the mattress has been set up. If you want to add another $50 to the delivery fee, they will take away your old mattress and either donate it to charity or have it recycled.

If you want to add another $50 to the delivery fee, they will take away your old mattress and either donate it to charity or have it recycled.
Just by changing a few of the parts around, you can customize this mattress for your preferred level of firmness. If you want a firmer mattress, it will be created with a zoned coil system. This has a lower gauge coil that sits on the middle third of the mattress. It will provide you with extra support. Everything else stays the same.
If you prefer a softer mattress, you can have your Wink Mattress custom-made with an extra inch of Hypersoft foam. This is added to the top sleep surface, so you have more softness, while the coils still provide you with plenty of support.
There are other customizable beds on the market, and it can cost a pretty penny to have your customizations done. Your customizations won't cost you any extra at the checkout with the Wink Mattress.
The most popular option is the medium, which is about a 6-6.5 on the firmness scale, making it universally comfortable, with just the right balance of support and comfort.
The soft mattress. This is for those who love to sink right into their mattresses to feel like they are being hugged all night. It has a coil system that is more flexible than the medium and firm versions, along with an additional foam layer on top.
Finally, the firm. This mattress has a zoned coil unit that gives you more support. This mattress is great for anyone who has hip pain.
How Durable is the Wink Mattress?
Will your Wink Mattress last? Check out my blog post on How Long Is A Mattress Good For to find how long the average mattress lasts. Here are some features of the Wink Mattress that will make it last longer.
With some mattresses, they sag when you sit on the edge of your bed. The Wink Mattress actually has quite a firm edge support. You can sit on the edge, and you shouldn't notice any sagging at all.
An independent study was performed on the foam used for the WinkBeds mattress by the Carpenter Technical Center. The test involved constant force fatigue to simulate use of the mattress over a period of 10 years. Basically, they dropped a really heavy weight (168 pounds) on the mattress 80,000 times! After all that, the foam had only compressed by two percent. That shows you just how tough the material really is.
There are more than 1,000 pocketed spring coils in each Wink Mattress. For example, a king size mattress has 2,776 pocketed coils, with 1,722 AirSprings, and 1,054 springs on the bottom. Compare this with other hybrid mattresses, and you might find that there are more springs per mattress size in this one. The more springs, the longer the mattress will be able to last the wear and tear of one or two people sleeping on its surface for many years.
Should You Have a Box Spring or other Foundation?
Any mattress works best when placed on the right type of foundation.
It is recommended that you use the low-profile foundation or the CoolControl base at the very least with the Wink Mattress.
You can use an old box spring, but if it is not in great shape, it will help to shorten the lifespan of your new mattress. If you plan to use a box spring, it is best to buy a new one to use with this mattress.
WinkBeds recommends that you use their five-inch foundation. This is a one-piece foundation for all but the king and California king size mattresses, and this base comes in two pieces. It is made out of steel and hardwood and has a soft cover made from Tencel and stretch-knit blended fabric.
What Type of Bed should You Use?
One of the great things about a Wink Mattress is that you can use it on just about any type of platform or slatted frame. Of course, you should make sure that the frame is rigid enough in the center to fully support the new mattress. If it is not, then you really should consider getting a foundation.
WinkBeds does not sell bed frames. But, this is only because this mattress has been created to be able to fit onto just about any bed frame. As long as yours is sturdy, your existing frame should do quite nicely. You can even use the WinkBeds mattress with an adjustable bed frame. Many similar mattresses have metal edge supports. This one has foam supports around the edge, so it can be flexible.
What is the Warranty Like?
All Wink mattresses are covered by 10-year, full-replacement, limited warranties. During this time period, if there are any defects that are covered by the warranty, your mattress will be repaired or replaced, free of charge. The warranty covers all mattress parts, and you never have to pay any type of deductible to claim coverage if you need it.
In order to help maintain your mattress, you need to know how to properly care for it. Some mattresses can be wiped down with a damp cloth or sponge. Do not do this with your WinkBeds mattress. Instead, go over it with your vacuum cleaner to get rid of dust and dander. You should do this about every two weeks or so.
It is a good idea to have a mattress protector. This will help to keep it clean and free of stains. You can remove the protector at any time to wash it. Some mattress protectors are even waterproof. If this is what you want, look for one that doesn't have a lament on the reverse side, as this can cause a restriction in the air flow if you are using the CoolControl base.
For the best mattress protector, I recommend the AllerEase Ultimate Protection. It is very robust and ideal for anyone who wants to protect their mattress from pollen, pet dander, bed bugs and dust mites. It is breathable and waterproof. It does not contain vinyl.
You should also get into the habit of rotating your mattress regularly. In the beginning, it is recommended that you do this every two weeks for three months. Then, you can start doing it every couple of months. This is going to make sure that the foam parts of the mattress will break in evenly all the way around.
When you buy a mattress in a store, you are lucky if you get a 30-day trial period to see if you really like it. When you buy a Wink Mattress, you get to try it free in your home for 101 nights. If you aren't completely satisfied, you can return it for a full refund. Pick-up is free, and it can be scheduled at your convenience. But, just try it for at least 30-60 nights before you make any decisions. It's definitely worth it.
If you return the mattress, pick-up is free, and it can be scheduled at your convenience. Other mattress companies expect you to pay for the shipping back to them at the end of their sleep trial.
Try the Wink Mattress for at least 30-60 nights before you make any decisions.
There is also the option to exchange your mattress if you think that you would like to try a different level of firmness. The fee is just $49.99, which is basically to cover the shipping and handling fees, removing the first mattress from your home, etc.
No mattress is perfect. It's important that as an unbiased review, I consider both the good and the not so good things about this mattress as part of my Wink Mattress review.
Hybrid Construction – This mattress is unique in its construction, and gives you the best of both worlds when it comes to foam and innerspring mattresses.
Foundation – You can purchase the optional foundation that matches your mattress and will look great in any bedroom.
Warranty – Enjoy a 10-year limited warranty on all parts of the mattress. You can also try it out for 101 nights to make sure that you really like it.
Free Shipping and Returns – If you don't want the white glove service, you can have your mattress shipped to your home for free. If you do decide to return it, shipping is also free.
Support and Comfort – Because you can customize your mattress, you can have your optimum levels of comfort and support.
Packs more springs in than a normal spring mattress so it support you more and lasts longer.
Durability – This mattress is built to last. The 10-year warranty should tell you something about just how well it is made.
Certification – This mattress is CertiPUR-US Certified, meaning no harmful chemicals have been used in its creation.
Not in Stores – For some, ordering online is preferable. Others want to be able to try a mattress in the store before they buy it. There is only one location where you can see this mattress in person.
Hybrid – Some people want either a foam mattress or an innerspring mattress. If you prefer one or the other instead of a combination, this probably isn't the mattress for you.
Not Completely Organic – Even though there are no chemicals used to make the WinkBeds mattress, it is not 100 percent organic, so it doesn't completely meet the standards of those who choose to only use eco-friendly products.

Like Brock and their father, they all have very narrow, squinty eyes and coarse textured hair. None of the children inherited Lola's eyes, though some seem to have skin and hair color closer in tone to their mother's.
Prior to Showdown in Pewter City, their parents Flint and Lola left the family home to pursue their respective goals, leaving Brock in charge. The children would often watch Brock's battles against Gym challengers and cheer him on, as seen in the episode proper.
Towards the end of Showdown in Pewter City, Brock decided to leave on his own journey with Ash and Misty after Flint returned home and took on both the domestic and Gym duties full-time. By A Family That Battles Together Stays Together!, Lola had also returned and went on to redecorate the Pewter Gym and declare it a Water-type facility, much to the children's dismay. Brock also returned briefly, before leaving for the Hoenn region, but not before restoring the Gym to its heritage Rock-type theme after defeating Lola in battle.
In Grating Spaces, Brock's siblings were once again left alone after Flint and Lola went on a plane trip organized by Team Rocket, who were posing as Gym stylists, and redecorated the Pewter Gym in a bid to take over the facility. Brock visited home and was shocked to see his parents' absences and the Gym's latest renovation. When the pair returned from their trip, Brock scolded them for abandoning the children once again and informed them that they had fallen for one of Team Rocket's schemes.
In SS025, they cheered Forrest on as he battled a Nurse Joy from the Pokémon Inspection Agency. Despite Forrest's loss, Brock's siblings were relieved after Joy allowed the Pewter Gym to continue being an official Gym.
Most recently, Forrest and the rest of Brock's siblings reappeared in a fantasy during the Poké Problem segment of SM042.
Brock's siblings are generally happy in spite of their abandonment. They have a strong camaraderie among themselves and Brock's Pokémon, such as Ludicolo and Sudowoodo. They are deeply attached to the Pewter Gym and all of them prefer the Rock type.
All of the children are extremely close to their older brother Brock, and they view him as more of a parental figure than their own parents due to their general absence in their lives. They all love and respect him; in their debut episode, when he was losing a battle, they all grabbed onto Ash because they knew Brock didn't want to have his Onix hurt. Whenever Brock battles at the Gym, his siblings watch on and always root for him.
With the exception of Forrest, they are too young to train Pokémon and have none of their own. Salvadore, as the third-eldest brother, acts as referee during Forrest's battles at the Gym, although if Brock is battling, Forrest himself takes over this responsibility.
When Brock visited the Pewter Gym after returning from Hoenn, he found that his siblings loved having Ludicolo around, and therefore, when he left to rejoin Ash, he decided to leave Ludicolo with his siblings.
The names Tommy, Cindy, Suzie, and Timmy were first used in the episode Showdown in Pewter City, though it was unknown which sibling was Brock was referring to.
The youngest of Brock's siblings, Tōko, was referred to by her Japanese name in A Family That Battles Together Stays Together!. However, when Grating Spaces aired she was referred to as Tilly.
It is implied in Pocket Monsters: The Animation that Brock's siblings and possibly even Brock himself may be half-siblings as it mentioned that Lola, prior to ultimately abandoning her family, had "married again and again and had dozens of kids" in a desperate attempt to keep Pewter Gym open.

How can I build a small Video Looping device, which I can upload/delete files from?
I want build a device which I can basically either insert a memory card or upload video files on and it then loops these files to a video output. I'm not really sure how to start. Anyone got any ideas? I basically want to have an old TV I own just loop video all day and I rather not buy a DVD player to do it.


World of Warplanes , the free-to-play air combat game from the creators of World of Tanks , is now officially online. The game currently features the planes of five nations and over 100 different planes, but the real key to watch will be Wargaming 's ongoing updates and support. As was the case with World of Tanks, World of Warplanes can expect frequent updates and balances and a steady stream of new content.
"You can choose to fly iconic aircraft such as the Supermarine Spitfire, Messerschmitt Bf. 109, and the P-51 Mustang across a wide variety of landscapes," an announcement blog post reads. Also interesting is the way that World of Warplanes will interact with World of Tanks. Since both games use the Wargaming premium account system and unlockable cash, you'll be able to shoot a tank in Tanks and use the in-game currency you earn to unlock items in Warplanes.
You can now head over to the World of Warplanes site and give the game a try. It's free, after all, and Lucas had a good time with his preview . We'll have a full review up shortly.

Bills Win in Wisconsin! (Um...Minnesota, That Is)
In Search of the Ithaca Octopus
Kavenaugh Plays His Trump Card: He Was a Virgin!
Kananaugh unloads his secret weapon when he states he was a virgin and had nothing even resembling sexual intercourse until well after school days. It is obviously true, for in today's culture, nobody admits to such a thing. It is to scream from the rooftops: "I am a loser!"
Now, he doesn't view it that way. And I come from a religious background where such is more common than uncommon for unmarried persons of that age, due to their beliefs on the sanctity of marriage and their conviction that the One who have the gift of sex knows best how it is to be employed, and , so I don't view it that way either. But his most vociferous opponents, irreligious almost to the person, cannot conceive of such a thing. It catches them completely flat-footed. Some of them pursue sex almost as though it is the purpose of life.
He tells them he was a virgin? It is the most definitive answer he could give and ought take the wind completely out of their sails. They would never ever ever admit to such a thing were it true in their case. It would be a matter of deep shame. In fact, wasn't there a shooting recently by someone who hasn't scored with the females, and he and his are passed off as 'of all men, the most be pitied,' to misquote 1 Corinthians 15:19? I think they have even coined a word for that type, as though it is an ethnic group. Yes, here it is: They are 'incels.'
Kavanaugh is not ashamed of it at all. He is proud of it. That doesn't mean he willingly advertises it, for it is a personal matter. But when backed into a corner, he states it as his perfect defense to charges that he is raping here and raping there. Not likely, he says, since he was a virgin. 'Well.....well....just when did you have sex, anyway?' say his opponents, since this is a hugely important topic for them. But there is a limit to how much he will indulge them, for next they will want video footage. It is enough to say 'well after.
It is too much. There is no better way to defang an enemy than to freely admit to a weakness. This is especially true if you do not regard it as a weakness at all. Not getting the true sense of it, one pundit, sympathetic to he and his cause, complained how disgusting it was that he should have been maneuvered into revealing his then-virginity. He didn't get maneuvered at all. He played his trump card. And, yes, I will indulge his enemies and state that he also played his Trump card.

Q: Publish Multiple APKs to Google Play Store I was studying Android Developer doc today and found a new topic Multiple APK Support which says that:

Multiple APK support is a feature on Google Play that allows you to publish different APKs for your application that are each targeted to different device configurations.

I am unable to find this feature on Google Play Developer Console, can someone guide me over this feature?

A: Later in the documentation you link, it has a "how it works" section which explains you have to enable Advanced Mode to be able to use the feature:

To publish multiple APKs for the same application, you must enable Advanced mode in your application's APK files tab (as discussed in the previous section). Once in advanced mode, you can upload, activate, then publish multiple APKs for the same application. The following sections describe more about how it works

NOTE
The above answer is deprecated.  Please refer to the Feb 1 2018 answer by Dhaval Jivani below.

A: Update :
In Google I/O 2018, a new publishing format has been introduced for Android applications called Android App Bundle. It is a new upload format that includes all your app's compiled code and resources, but defers APK generation and signing to Google Play
Read More from below links :
https://medium.com/mindorks/android-app-bundle-6c65ce8105a1
https://developer.android.com/guide/app-bundle
@Paul
In new UI on play store developer console APK tab has been removed. And its being replaced by Apk Release So Advanced Mode is removed in new UI on google play store
You must know some rules before upload multiple APKS to play store :

*

*All APKs you publish for the same application must have the same package name and be signed with the same certificate key.

*Each APK must have a different version code, specified by the android:versionCode attribute.

*Each APK must not exactly match the configuration support of another APK.

for more information please Read
You can also see How to create multiple apk files for android application
All you have to do is upload each version one at a time. Each next version will need to be higher than the previous and it will ask you if you would like to deactivate any of your previous versions or retain them, and you will want to retain them so that they stay available. Please note, users will always receive the highest version available to them though so if they are compatible with multiple versions then they will not be given the choice of which version they want, they will just automatically receive the highest version

Q: Trying to send a struct pointer as a node to a function I have problems with parsing the parameters to the function list_append(). The major issue that confuses me is the the pointer inside a struct inside a struct...
Is the function asking for a data type of "LIST" and I am passing it a pointer?
When I try to compile this I get the following error:
Please explain like I am 5.
Error
In file included from main.c:3:0:
list.h:9:7: note: expected 'LIST' but argument is of type 'struct post *'
 void  list_append   (LIST l, int item);
       ^

list.h
void  list_append   (LIST l, int item);

main.c
#include <stdio.h>

#include "list.h"

int main() {

static struct post {
    char* str;
    struct post* next;
    int item;
} head = { 0, NULL };

    struct post *p = &head;
    struct post post;

    list_append(p, post.item);

}

list.c
void list_append(struct node* n, int item)
{

    /* Create new node */
    struct node* new_node = (struct node*) malloc (sizeof (struct node));
    new_node->item = item;

    /* Find last link */
    while (n->next) {
        n = n->next;
    }

    /* Joint the new node */
    new_node->next = NULL;
    n->next = new_node;
}

A: Yes. My guess would be compiler is looking for data type LIST where as you passed in a struct post *. What is LIST anyway.? Did you define it anywhere.?
Also there is mismatch of datatype of function defined in header file and actual function definition.

A: Since you don't define LIST anywhere, you can just change the declaration of your function in list.h to the following:
void  list_append   (struct node* n, int item);

You're implementing a linked list, so you the "list" is really just a pointer to the first node.
Otherwise, and perhaps cleaner, you could include the following in your header:
typedef struct node * LIST;

And change the declaration of your function (in the .c file) to the following:
void list_append(LIST n, int item)

Q: Can't log into a SharePoint site unless running the browser on the SharePoint server I am running SharePoint Server 2007 with SP1 on our test server.  It's a single-server installation.  It has a single SharePoint application running on port 80.  It's using Windows authentication.  It's using both Windows (with NTLM) and basic authentication for IIS auth settings.  There is one site collection running on this application.
Ordinarily, we log in with our Windows domain accounts to interact with the system, but we have a couple local machine user accounts that we created in order to test some things and run little utility scripts.  The problem is that now we can't log into this site with those local machine users unless we're running the browser on the server itself.  On the server, I can log in with those users.  From any other box, I am rejected with a 401.1 error.  With domain-based accounts, I can successfully log in from any of these machines.  I am certain that this used to work, but because other people have unfettered access to the server, I can't promise that no settings have changed since then.
What could be happening?  Is this a SharePoint problem or an IIS problem?  And how can I re-enable login access to these local machine users?
EDIT:
I don't see how this is necessarily related to the impersonation settings suggested by TheCleaner.  Our production server uses the same type of local machine users, and there is no problem logging into that SharePoint site with those local machine users (same IIS configuration and same web.config as is used in the problematic test server).  Also, the articles suggested by TheCleaner are intended for audiences who are trying to access other resources as a specific identity after that identity is already logged into SharePoint.  I can't even get logged into SharePoint.  Am I just confused?

A: I have seen very similar things happen when the ASP .NET impersonation settings are incorrect or have changed.  The same scenario of "unless we run it on the server itself" points me to believe this may be the issue.  Have you check the impersonation settings?

A: It's interesting - what it looks like is that you're not logging in via Basic from remote machines, but rather NTLM that's failing (since the accounts are local only to the server, not to the client).  What's the Win32 code for the 401.1 error?  What does Fiddler say the authentication is?
Can you log in via NTLM on the servers (Automatic NTLM login is typically disabled due to ESC - Enhanced Server Configuration)?
What exactly where the "scripts" that you ran and what did they do?
Finally, what internet zone does the site appear on the server and the clients that are failing?

Farming Pageant will be a moving tribute to commemorate the end of the First World War
- 02-Aug-2018
The Newbury & District & Agricultural Society will be commemorating the end of the First World War by demonstrating how agriculture has evolved over the decades at this year's Royal County of Berkshire Show, taking place on the 15th and 16th September 2018.
During the First World War horses were sent to the front line in France to help the many soldiers that fought for our freedom. However, sad as it is, many did not return.
Since then, their absence was ever more present in the farming community so it was time to start developing. And so the revolutionary change from horses to mechanical agriculture now spurred into action!
Steam engines had been used previously during the war but they were slow, heavy and couldn't complete the job to the standard needed. Then the tractor was introduced, which was quicker and more agile, and so agriculture was born into a new age of farming.
This year, as one of the main arena attractions we take you on a journey through the decades since the end of World War One, displaying a magnificent showcase of farming equipment and machinery. From ploughs, seed drills and hay making equipment, to the latest technology such as precision seeding, GPS crop application and yield mapping which assist getting the nutrients in the right place during the following years' crop.
Ian Wilson, Chairman of the Show comments, "The pageant has been 2 years in the planning and several ideas have come from it. It will be a fantastic opportunity to see up close how the large modern machinery, that is often an irritating noise in a field near you or indeed in front of you on the road, works and aids in producing food. The pageant will show machines through the decades and culminate in a harvest demonstration in the main ring."
Between shows, the machinery will be on display for visitors to view and to ask any questions.

The Geo Variation is the overall effect of the geological, geotechnical, hydrogeological and geometric variation. In the geo planning work it is important to investigate, or estimate, and discuss the Geo Variation, as it is important for the assessment of the prognosis of displacements, relative displacement differences and distortion angles in buildings and water and sewer lines. The investigation of the Geo Variation makes it feasible to make the right decisions in planning the measures for the foundation of buildings and other structures.


An increase in the number of journeys undertaken by bicycle in Scotland has been hailed as the 'start of a cycling revolution' by a leading cycling campaign group.
Statistics published by Transport Scotland this week show that cycle use increased in the nation by three per cent in 2016, to a total of 352 million vehicle kilometres.
Cycling UK says that the use of bikes will continue to rise in Scotland "as more people recognise it as a convenient, low-cost everyday transport".
"We hope that this increase is just the start of a cycling revolution in Scotland," said Suzanne Forup, Cycling UK's Head of Development for Scotland.
Cycling UK says that the Scottish Government has made a commitment to encouraging more cycling and walking, with an increase in per-head investment.
Funding for 'active travel' will be increased to £80million, which the organisation says is around twice that spent per head than in England – £13.50 per head, compared to £6.50.
The Transport Scotland statistics also show that other modes of transport have increased, including car, air, rail and ferry. Only bus use has decreased.
Overall, cycling accounted for just one per cent of journeys made in Scotland in 2016. The average cycling journey was 7.6km, with just under half of journeys measuring under 2km.

Ben There, Done That: SXSW Observations – March 10th
Sunday, March 10th, 2019 | 5 min read
March 8 | March 9 | March 11 | March 12 | March 13
Video 1 | Video 2 | Video 3
Last night I reached the next level of SXSW mastery: seeing a bunch of celebs. At a Vice-hosted party celebrating the release of The Beach Bum, the movie's lead – Matthew McConaughey – seemingly appeared out of nowhere. Flanked by a camera crew, he made the rounds and stopped for selfies with dozens of giddy fans.
After a few minutes, he settled behind a velvet rope that separated him from the gawking masses (myself included). He struck up a warm-looking conversation with a familiar looking man, who we soon realized was none other than his True Detective co-star Woody Harrelson.
Later that night, I happened upon potential 2020 hopeful Beto O'Rourke, who was wandering around with his wife and chatting with effusive supporters.
Back to business on day 3
This morning I popped in on a conversation hosted by Marshall Kirkpatrick, Senior Director, Influencer and Analyst Relations at Sprinklr. Kirkpatrick spoke with Azeem Azhar, the founder of Exponential View, one of the fastest growing email newsletters in tech.
Azhar provided some incisive big-picture thoughts on our current moment. He explained that we're at a point that's similar to others in history, in that we're undergoing massive changes to the political landscape, economy structures, social organization, and perhaps most important, technology.
"We have a range of technology that's improving at exponential rates," he said. He offered the iPhone as an example, pointing out that when it was first released a decade ago, it was rolled out to one country at a time. Now, just a few years later, new iPhones go live in around 50 countries at once.
The result of this new dynamic? Our social, political, and economic systems are adapting to technology, not the other way around.
Azhar also laid out his approach to building a loyal newsletter following. It's important to think about 1:1 relationships and reaching a larger group, he said. "I look at Exponential View as a community where I know my readers," he added.
Navigating a negative landscape
Over at the Twitter House (an ideal destination for work and play), a heavy hitting panel discussed the current state of media in our fractured, increasingly acrimonious age.
Nick Sallon, Head of US News Partnerships at Twitter, argued that advertising is beneficial for democracy. His rationale is that because advertising funds news reporting, it makes that information accessible for more people. And when more people are informed on the issues of the day, our democracy is strengthened.
The context of this interesting proclamation was the rise of subscription-based content offerings, which, Sallon said, forces a segment of the population to pay for news content – a dangerous proposition as misinformation spreads quickly and conspiracy theories take root.
Tony Weisman, CMO of Dunkin', weighed in on the acrimony that pervades our daily discourse. He said that while the constant negativity is exhausting, it demonstrates that people are, in fact, engaged – and that's a good thing.
His job, he said is to "pay very careful attention to consumers and pay attention their level of engagement – how long to the spend, share, comment, what really matters to them?"
Hitting the floor
The SXSW exhibition hall at the Austin Convention Center is quite the cacophonous scene. We checked out a Japanese sushi robot, tactical smart goggles from Lockheed Martin, along with several other innovative gadgets and toys.
The whole thing's a bit surreal. There are people in headsets lurching around, deep into a game of virtual reality tennis. Others fiddle with ultra-modern (and expensive) cameras. The sheer range of offerings is staggering and a bit overwhelming – so wide that it's difficult to make any sweeping generalizations about what it all means.
All that said, there's a fun feeling of camaraderie and connection on the floor. People from all corners of the globe chat and peruse each other's offerings – kind of like worldly, hyper-innovative flea market.
My final panel of the day featured sports photographers and commentators who discussed their strategies for getting great shots and calling pivotal in-game moments just right.
Pawel Kopczynski, Central Europe & Global Sports Editor for Reuters Pictures, stressed the importance of knowing the key off-field narratives when shooting on-field action. "What's the story?" he said. "It be about a coach who's about to resign. You need to know the background of what's going on – you could have great pictures of the action, but they may not be the right pictures."

The Winning Culture Playbook: A 7-Step Roadmap to Success
#PanteneOppa: Learning from Steve Aoki's Viral Moment


Yesterday I lost a patient. I wasn't even there.
It all started last week. He came in for vomiting. His x-rays were inconclusive. We decided to treat him symptomatically with IV fluids and repeat radiographs. They were still inconclusive, but the vomiting had stopped and he was eating and acting normally. We sent him home.
The next day, he vomited again. He came back in for an ultrasound. From ultrasound he went to the OR.
He had adhesions from another surgery years ago—scar tissue—that had resulted in an obstruction. I couldn't safely break them down, so I had to remove a section of intestine. The two healthy ends of bowel came together nicely. I checked the incision for leaks and finding none, I closed him up.
The next morning he was eating great and acting normally. The day after that he was fine too. On the third day, he wasn't.
I hoped I was wrong. I wasn't.
We removed more intestine and repaired the anastomoses. We flushed his abdomen with sterile saline to try to clean out any bacteria or ingesta that had escaped the GI tract. We loaded him up with antibiotics. We crossed our fingers and prayed.
He made it through the night but the next morning he still couldn't sit up and his protein levels had dropped dangerously low. I wasn't there, but I called my colleague to confer on the case. He needed a plasma transfusion, we decided.
He never got it. While the fresh frozen plasma was defrosting, he decompensated. They did CPR, but he died anyway.
I've been through it a hundred different ways since that morning two days ago when it all went south. What could I have done differently? Did I do something wrong? Was it my fault?
14. That's the percent of dogs undergoing this particular surgery that encounter this complication. Not the percent of my patients—just what the retrospective studies show. And adhesions increase the risk.
This should make me feel better, but it doesn't. Because he's still dead, and I'm still left wondering. Was it fate, or was it me?
I know I did everything I could. I know I'm a good surgeon. I know this happens to the best surgeons. But it doesn't matter because I still can't stop wondering. Would he be alive if another doctor had done the surgery? Was it my suturing technique? Was it my choice of suture material? Was it my tissue handling? Was it me?
Clients often think euthanasia must be the hardest part of my job. It's not. This is. The ones we try to save. The ones we give our all to. The ones who have a chance but die anyway. That's the worst part of the job. It makes us doubt ourselves. It makes us feel helpless and useless. It makes us feel like failures. These are the cases that you never truly get over.
Sure, the wounds will heal, but they will leave scars. Adhesions will form. And you can never cut them out or break them down. They will sit there for years, not really causing a problem, until one day something gets stuck in our tangled web of emotions and the old wounds feel fresh again.
We will heal for our patients who won't, but we will never be whole.

Doing CrossFit workouts on a regular basis is a challenge for even the most experienced athlete. Making time for fitness gets even harder if you aren't worrying about how to juggle your training schedule between work and family vacations but around rock shows that you and your band play night after night all over the world.
Andrew Hurley, of the band Fall Out Boy, began his fitness training eight years ago as a way to stay in shape when he toured and performed.
Fall Out Boy's Andrew Hurley talks to writer Jamie Toland.
"I started functional fitness stuff with Gym Jones in 2007, and I was doing their remote programming in 2009. By the time the band came back from hiatus in 2013, I had my own equipment at home and did most of my workouts there," Hurley said. He soon realized that being a musician and finding time to train on the road wasn't going to be simple.
But because of Fall Out Boy's recording and tour schedule, Hurley didn't have the luxury of doing workouts at home very often. The solution was for him to take his own programming and go into any fitness facility to do his own workouts. This was easier said than done.
"The volume at Gym Jones was always more strength- and conditioning-based and higher volume. I was tired of trying to find facilities that would let me do whatever I wanted. I knew that CrossFit gyms had everything that I wanted to use," Hurley explained. So he started searching out CrossFit boxes to train at.
The more Hurley visited boxes, the more he started to get interested in the workouts they were doing. Once he tried out CrossFit training, he fell in love with the intensity. Eventually, he began to make the switch from his own programming to CrossFit workouts.
Now finding a box to train at is commonplace for Hurley. He relies on the generosity of affiliates all over the world, and what once was just a place to train because they had the equipment he needed is now just another part of his tour life.
"It's kind of easy because we're on a bus and I wake up early at the next venue every day, and there are so many boxes now that I can find one within 15 to 20 minutes from where the venue is," he explained.
Hurley and Fall Out Boy have a substantial following on social media, so while he does get recognized in and out of the box, he said that for the most part, people are cool and let him do what he came there to do: train.
While a great deal of his time is spent traveling and training on the road, Hurley does get a break from time to time, and when he does, he spends it training at his 48-acre ranch just outside Portland, Oregon.
Hurley likes all types of CrossFit movements, but he considers himself a bodyweight specialist. Drumming is great for his cardio capacity but has its drawbacks in terms of the wear and tear he's had on his back and shoulders.
While none of the other members of his band share his enthusiasm for fitness or CrossFit training, he said that there are more and more people in the industry who are starting to get into it.
As both the popularity of Fall Out Boy's music and CrossFit continue to grow, Hurley's story could become more and more commonplace. Someday soon there might be all types of rockers dropping in at boxes all over the world.
Hurley said that the community is what makes it so easy for him to do what he does.

Q: Scrolling page action without click function in html/js I am using this code to scroll the page after clicking a button:
$(document).ready(function() {
  $("#button").click(function(e) {
    e.preventDefault();
    $('html, body').animate({
      scrollTop: $($.attr(this, 'href')).offset().top

But I want to make it work without clicking any button. When the page loads, it should scroll. I used this code and it does not work:
$(document).ready(function() {
  $('html, body').animate({
    scrollTop: $($.attr(this, 'href')).offset().top

});

A: I personally am not a big fan of using jQuery's animate function, so i implemented my own. You can change the speed of it by increasing or decreasing the time of the setTimeout function.
$(document).ready(function() {
    var pixels = $('a').position();
    Scroll(pixels.top);
});

function Scroll(pixels) {
    if( pixels > 0){
        window.scrollBy(0,1);
        scrollTimeout = setTimeout(function(){
            Scroll(pixels-1);
        },1);
    }
    else {
        clearTimeout(scrollTimeout)
        return;
    }
}

Here is a link to the fiddle that i made to demonstrate what I think you are trying to do.
Let me know if this helps!
https://jsfiddle.net/ogb4t33q/

A: In this block:
$(document).ready(function(){
  $('html, body').animate({
    scrollTop: $($.attr(this, 'href')).offset().top
  }, 8000);
});

this will refer to document. That was OK in the other version of your function, because this referred to an  element with href. That allowed $($.attr(this, 'href')) to find an element and complete the logic to scroll there.
You'll either need to define exactly the element you want to scroll to like this:

$(document).ready(function() {
  $('html, body').animate({
    scrollTop: $('#scrollToThisEl').offset().top
  }, 3000);
});

Scroll here

Or work with window.location.hash to read the #... value from the URL.
$(document).ready(function(){
  $('html, body').animate({
    scrollTop: $(window.location.hash).offset().top
  }, 3000);
});

Glad you ask. Actually, I'm being a bit facetious. The fact that this question comes up seems to demonstrate a lack of properly relating to or understanding the process involved. Audio reviewers are supposed to describe what something sounds like to the best of their ability, then incorporate personal opinion and experience to create the surrounding context in which a particular piece of gear should be considered. Final judgment of what such personal opinions should mean to individual readers is left up to those readers. Critics aren't judges but expert witnesses. They use the evidence (their personal observations) to make a case for or against the subject, then the jury (the reader) is expected to do the rest.
Reviewing requires two mandatory and absolutely fundamental qualities: Respect and applied responsibility. Those are inextricably intertwined. Respect means you recognize that those who can, create; that those who can't create teach (how to create); and that those who miserably fail at either criticize those who can. A credible amplifier designer would arguably make the perfect amplifier reviewer. She can assess circuit design and implementation, conduct extensive measurements, weigh parts costs and execution against asking price and performance and back up subjective listening impressions with far more multi-angled corroborative evidence than most any reviewer alive. The pertinent question remains, why would a creator stoop to spending his time criticizing someone else's creations?
No, that dubious privilege falls to those of us who can't design an amplifier nor teach others how to do it.
As a reviewer, you're entrusted not only with somebody else's creation but also wield considerable influence over that person's ability to make a livelihood. For example, one of our pending reviews stalled multiple large international orders. Those importers awaited the outcome of the review before signing off on bringing this particular product into their markets. As is proper, I didn't find this out until afterwards and the reviewer never did. Still, it should signal to the cynics that a small-time manufacturer could lose significant business as a direct and immediate result of a review. Applied responsibility means you hold that power and trust sacred and be sure beyond any reasonable doubt before you proclaim grave and terminal judgment on anything.
A respectful and responsible reviewer recognizes that results are shaped by two factors: synergy and personal taste. Synergy means that results are dependent on context. Personal taste -- among other things -- means that your context of hardware has been preselected according to individual bias. How to be sure beyond a reasonable doubt that a review subject is terribly flawed and "bad, period", not just performing poorly as a function of lacking synergy?
Say you were a manufacturer's rep considering to add a new loudspeaker to your lineup. You take it to 10 different dealers. That's 10 different rooms, 10 different amplifiers, 10 different preamps... you get the picture. If this speaker fails to perform in accordance with its price and market competition, to your ears and everyone else's, in every single dealership? Now you have earned the right and outright duty to write a scathing review.
How many rooms, amplifiers, speakers, sources, cables etc. does the average reviewer have at his or her disposal? Even if you have multiples of certain categories, chances are extremely high that all of them conform to certain baseline requirements of personal taste. Only a true eccentric or independently wealthy person would purchase and keep around things he doesn't like. Anyone else will preselect staying acquisitions through the filter of their personality. That seriously undermines a completely open scenario for synergy to occur.
If a review component falls short, how many fundamentally different scenarios can you create to cast the widest net and eliminate possible mismatches? Unless manufacturers extend you endless loans of items you don't really fancy -- and your home in turn becomes a junk yard of inactive just-in-case hardware -- a reviewer's best intentions to perform due diligence are for all practical intents and purposes limited. If that is so, how can you ascertain beyond a reasonable doubt that a particular piece of equipment is flawed beyond recommendation?
Consider next the counter psychology. Each time a reviewer becomes harshly critical, she is applauded for gumption and honesty. Considering the above, this seem more ego gratification than any true and comprehensive assessment based on our rep example. Should a reviewer pen the occasional bad review to protect perception? On what basis should he pick his victims? Should he take on the big firm whose business wouldn't be much impacted if at all while the sheer nerve to go up against a Krell or Wilson promises massive applause? Should he target a small manufacturer whose product nobody knows and hence couldn't disagree with?
Such thinking is in utter and reprehensible violation of respect and applied responsibility. All it does is give credence to outside influences (the critic's critics) that need to be utterly disregarded. Reviewing isn't about reviewer ego, self gratification or reputation. It's about telling the truth as you hear it while remaining mindful of how filtered and personalized this truth could be. The perhaps best example is the product that does get a highly unfavorable review with one publication only to rise, Phoenix-like, with another review in another publication. Or, such a product continues selling like hot cakes in the wake of its bad review, indicating that paying consumers don't agree with its findings at all. "Fair enough" you allow while you launch the counter argument: "If this reasoning stands, how can you turn tables and pen any truly positive reviews? Don't synergy and personality apply just the same?"
The answer to that question should be quite obvious. If you've bought something for keeps, chances are exceedingly high that you'll get it to eventually sound even better than when you first bought it. You keep adjusting, tuning, voicing and tweaking. Put differently, it's highly unlikely that all the planets of your sonar system would line up perfectly the moment you inserted a new component. If a reviewer gets results that are stupendous within the limited period of time that's fair to manufacturers (and if you want to pen more than 2 reviews a year), one can reasonably predict that given more time, one could make things better yet, hence there's comfort that one's own results will translate without too much trouble.
Here's what the press hears a lot. They just protect their advertisers. They don't want to get blacklisted as the guys who find fault with everything and close off the review loaner pipeline. Don't bite the hand that feeds you. It really gets tiring. The simple truth is this: Knowing how variable results can be depending on little and big things -- from speaker positioning and break-in to cables, resonance control, impedance mismatches, AC line filters, room interactions and non-simpatico load behavior -- makes a responsible reviewer hesitant to feel 100% certain. Add into this equation the limited flexibility of getting out of your own way to hear things in a fresh light and from a different perspective. You like what you like. If you've been around long enough, you also know that certain likes aren't immutable and have morphed over time. What's more, unless you've been doing this for decades and have deliberately disassembled your system and rebuilt it with a new approach each time -- horns and SETs; planars and high-power; mini monitors with subs; single-driver and vinyl -- your contextual overview suffers tremendous blank spots on its map.
Then the question becomes, should personal preferences and limited context/synergy ever be mistaken for ultimate truths? A mature reviewer quite certain (or perhaps full) of himself will say that a particular amplifier was soft on top. He won't necessarily say "soft in my opinion". He presents things as fact and the reader feels reassured by such unwavering and unambiguous conviction. So tell me - is it really possible to make such a solid statement when no component makes a sound of its own and is always modulated by those preceding and following it? Measurement here would certainly help.
When King Solomon was asked to distinguish from the distance which of two flowers was real and which silk, the story goes that he asked a window to be opened. When a bee entered and descended on one of the two, he pronounced that the real flower and was proclaimed the wisest man alive. If only things were as simple in audio. We'd have wise men and women and irrefutable truths surviving millennia to be whispered in awe to the remote descendants of our great grandchildren. As it is, all we've got is personal opinions tempered by modesty. Enveloped in this modesty is a desire to do no wrong unless we're compelled by fierce conviction to warn one and all about a true and utter component disaster that's overpriced, under performing and must be avoided like the plague as an utter waste of money. Frankly, that's bloody rare.
One has to read between the lines to really get at the criticisms. They're always couched in diplomacy. This again presupposes ultimate truths. Unless you're convinced beyond a doubt that a component deserves deep-sixing or is seriously flawed, you'll have to couch your criticisms in qualifications (the language of personal preferences rather than absolutes). If that's diplomacy, so be it. In the end, those who ask the opening question -- directly or by insinuation -- are predominantly folks who want things spelled out to the letter. They neither trust their own decision-making abilities nor their personal sensory impressions. Critics at least create reviews based on hard work and best intentions. Critic's critics who've never published a single review to step on the other side often simply don't have enough personal experience to fully appreciate the particular reality they're talking about yet are quick to speculate, disagree and condemn.
Consumer Reports really might be the most useful bible to be told what to buy and what to avoid. To come full circle, what is a bad review, really? A bad review is one that's poorly written, poorly argued, inconclusive, riddled with oversights and mistakes and boring to boot. A good review is neither, regardless of findings. By that definition, it is my hope that we will never publish a truly bad review. By the same token, you'll read about outright criticisms - although most of those will pertain to features, fit'n'finish, ergonomics, cosmetics and pricing as aspects that are more universally applicable and consistent than sonics. You will also read about personal aural preferences and when components exhibit the temerity to not conform to them. Alas, this will by necessity tend to be qualified rather than presented as fixed fact. Based on all of the above, it couldn't be any other way.
Naturally, you're entitled to disagree with the entire approach. The point of a clear statement is not to pretend to infallibility but to allow polarization of opinion. At least you'll know how we view and approach this subject. If you find fault with either, simply don't read us. If you think you can do better, become an audio writer and show us all how it's done the right way. Who knows, you might just revolutionize things...


Nearly 150 students, instructors and administrators volunteered for the annual Toys for Tots Drive in Allen, Texas.
PCI Health at Richardson was asked to coordinate a drive and round up donations for the event. The goal was to collect new toys during the holiday season and donate them to less fortunate children in the DFW Community. The Richardson campus collected nearly 200 toys over the last few weeks and distributed them at the drive.
The event, which took place on December 7th at Allen Convention Center, was a joint project of U.S. Marine Corps Toys for Tots program, PCI Health Training Center and various business, organizations and local communities.
Carrie Rustad, from PCI's Career Services Department volunteered as Mrs. Claus, while sitting in her little wooden rocking chair, handed out cookies to hardworking, but freezing volunteers as they unloaded a truck full of toys. Later she made time to spread some holiday cheer, but not before she paused for a few photo opts!
"Toys for Tots" is the epitome of hope, compassion and selflessness. PCI's staff and students are honored to support the US Marine Corp, in giving back to a DFW community that we have educated and partnered with for 20 plus years. As a career institution, we aspire to embody those core values and the commitment, "Toys for Tots" so proudly represents each and every day.
PCI Health Training Center has two convenient campuses in Dallas & Richardson, Texas. Through career placement, PCI Health continues to be a valuable partner to employers, the community and students who are serious about their education and healthcare careers.

The Top 100 Wines of 2020 have been revealed!
The Restaurant at Meadowood
A synergy of food and wine in Napa Valley

The word "holistic" is not often associated with a luxury resort, but that's exactly the connection between the Restaurant at Meadowood and the Napa Valley. The food, the wine and the cultures are harmoniously entwined, creating a dining experience that's ambitious and distinctly Napan.
H. William Harlan, creator of cult Cabernet Harlan Estate, is the managing partner of Meadowood, so the focus should come as no surprise. But the restaurant had a sleepy reputation until it closed for a four-year hiatus. When it reopened in 2006, Harlan wanted a more dynamic dining room, all part of the 250-acre estate's $60-million renovation. He hired Nathaniel Dorn as restaurant director to set the change in motion.
"I had something in mind 10 years ago," Dorn says. "And now to see it coming to fruition is very satisfying."
The restaurant's wine list was a crucial element in the new vision. Dorn built the list from scratch, systematically compiling its current 2,250 selections.
Knowing that diners would expect an upscale Napa experience, Dorn began knocking on the doors of local vintners with the goal of building verticals. He also wanted to learn the stories behind the wineries and the wines. "I don't want to just sell the wines, I want to talk about the history as well," he says.
The collection of Napa verticals is impressive. Inglenook Cabernet Sauvignons go back to 1946, Beaulieu Vineyard Georges de Latour Cabernets date to 1960, and Dunn Howell Mountain and Mondavi Reserve Cabernets begin with 1979. The list is also strong in California Chardonnay and Pinot Noir; altogether, the Golden State represents about 60 percent of the list.
But the approach is hardly provincial. Burgundy is well-represented with top producers. There is a small but admirable list of vintage Bordeaux and thoughtfully selected highlights from Germany and Italy. A notable list of half-bottles provides additional flexibility. So does a wide range of wines by the glass, with recent offerings including Krug Grande Cuvée ($65) and Seavy Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley 1998 ($85).
Dorn and wine director Victoria Kulinich continue to expand the cellar's holdings, focusing particularly on Europe and the New World beyond California. "I feel like we're 60 percent there," Dorn says.
Building an impressive wine list is one thing, but finding synergy with chef Christopher Kostow's cuisine, not to mention the preferences of individual diners, is what it's all about for Dorn, Kulinich and sommelier Martin Winters. "We want to give the food more of the stage," Kulinich says.
Since joining the restaurant in 2008, Kostow has earned a reputation for creating dishes that are artful and delicately complex. He depends extensively on the restaurant's 3-acre garden; vegetables, herbs and fruit, typically picked the day they are served, bring a remarkable freshness and purity to the dishes. Savory asparagus custard with miner's lettuce and caviar tastes like spring. The kitchen also has an efficient program to dry and preserve the garden bounty.
Everything about the experience is intimate. There are only 12 tables in the dining room, which has a tall, raftered ceiling and is done in dark hues. Prices are rarefied too: The prix-fixe menu costs $330, service charge included, and the average wine price is nearly $400 a bottle, Kulinich says.
Depending on the kitchen's aspirations that day, 10 to 12 courses are offered, but a menu isn't presented until after the meal, and it resembles a haiku more than a detailed description. That approach can be puzzling at first, particularly as guests are presented with the wine list without a menu, but that's where Dorn and his team come in.
About 60 percent of guests rely on a wine-pairing option, which offers five glasses of wines (for an approximate $225 premium), about 5 ounces each, that can be savored over several courses. The philosophy on wine pairing is unfussy and is more about complementing the intensity of flavors than finding the classic match for each course.
"You're really putting yourself in the care of the staff and the chef," Dorn says. "It's all about building a relationship. Allow us to tailor the experience for you."

The inaugural Asia-Europe Colloquy on Universities of Tomorrow from 16th-19th February, 2005 in Luxembourg gathered 92 high-level representatives of universities, international education networks and institutes of higher learning from 28 ASEM countries.
The Asia-Europe Colloquy Series, an initiative developed within the framework of the ASEM Education Hub, aims to provide a forum for universities and institutions of higher education in ASEM countries to discuss areas of mutual concern and common challenges in the field of education, as well as possible strategies toward closer academic co-operation. The Asia-Europe Colloquy on Universities of Tomorrow was coorganised by the Asia-Europe Foundation and the University of Luxembourg with support from the Luxembourg Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
Prominent academics shared their views and perspectives on the challenges facing universities in Asia and Europe, drawing a fresh outlook on possible scenarios on the future of universities, academia and students in Asia and Europe. Topics discussed during the conference included perspectives on managing the impact of globalisation and the General Agreement on Trade in Services (GATS) on higher education institutions in Asia and Europe; enhancing international education activities and identifying obstacles to closer inter-university co-operation within and between the two regions; prospects for e-Learning; strengthening relationships between the business and education sectors; the concept of university autonomy and the role of the state in higher education in the 21st century, and; the need for closer Asia-Europe interuniversity co-operation and its strong potential in the field of disaster response and co-ordination. Professor Robin Mason, hailing from the Open University, United Kingdom presented a list of challenges for universities and institutions of higher learning.
