How did a dislocated shoulder turn into a lifelong problem?
Have you ever gone to the hospital to get treatment for an injury only to have your condition worsen in some way? Unfortunately, this is actually a common problem.
One man went to the hospital with an injury that many have faced- a dislocated shoulder. The young man had been playing games with some friends when he suddenly felt a pop in his shoulder. He later went to the hospital when his pain became intolerable. But by the time the hospital was done with him a dislocated shoulder was not all that he had. The hospital had caused the man permanent injuries to his hand and arm that would cause him lifelong problems in doing everyday activities.
So how exactly did he go from having a dislocated shoulder to a permanently injured arm? Find out here…
The National Center for Biotechnology says that shoulder displacements are among the most common dislocated joint injuries in the entire body. So you would think that hospitals are skilled in treating them properly, right? Well apparently not all hospitals are reasonably trained in this injury despite its common and regular occurrence.
The NCBI explain, "Acute dislocation is a surgical emergency and demands urgent relocation. Failure to reduce a dislocated shoulder successfully within the first twenty-four hours carries the risk that it will be impossible to achieve a stable closed reduction. The experienced trauma physician can recognize an anterior shoulder dislocation at sight. The arm is usually held in an abducted and externally rotated position. There is loss of the normal contour of the deltoid and the acromion is prominent posteriorly and laterally. The humeral head itself may well be palpable anteriorly.
On more detailed examination, there may be specific damage to the bone, vascular and nervous structures of the region. It is important to record neurovascular status before reduction is attempted. In the longer term, injury to the rotator cuff may also emerge. Each of these defects will be considered in turn." So how did the hospital mess up something that was supposed to be pretty routine and thus cause the young man permanent nerve damage in his hand and arm? Well they certainly did not seem to follow the careful protocol outlined by the NCBI.
The doctors had first decided to reduce the young man's shoulder. This means that they essentially planned to put his shoulder back into its socket. The NCBI details what is supposed to be done in a shoulder reduction, "A plain anteroposterior X-ray is mandatory before attempting to reduce the shoulder, as an associated humeral fracture will make it both impossible and dangerous to manipulate the humeral head by holding the shaft. A second, axillary view confirms the diagnosis and determines the direction of dislocation." They conducted this task in a rather careless way. Multiple medical staff members were pulling the young man's arm in various directions (thus causing traction and counter-traction) in order to put it back into its socket. After this process the young man's shoulder swelled up an abnormal amount (no surprise there, right?).
The young man started to complain of pain and swelling early on. The hospital's physicians eventually realized that the swelling had exceeded normal levels as well. So they next ordered a MRI to figure out what was causing the massive swelling. A resident (who is a doctor in training) read the MRI report and that's where the problem really started.
The resident actually misread the MRI which led to a series of events that made the patient's condition much worse than it would have been if he was treated in a timely manner. The hospital did not figure out any of this until much later.
After the MRI was performed, the patient felt a great deal of numbness in his hand. This numbness increased over the next few hours and he constantly relayed his numbness, pain, and discomfort to his nurses yet none of the doctors thought anything more about it till the morning.
So what did the hospital finally do to try to fix their mistake?
A whopping twelve hours after the MRI was performed a senior doctor finally re-read the MRI to see if the resident had made any errors as the patient was experiencing numbness. The senior doctor realized that there was a complication. The MRI showed that the patient had a build up of fluid in his hand. This buildup was affecting one of his nerves and causing the numbness.
Realizing the need for speed, the senior physician immediately called for the patient to be sent into the operating room. He planned to attempt to save the patient's arm before the injury resulted in permanent damage.
The surgeon then tried to relieve fluid from the patient's axillary area, to no avail. But they were too late. The fluid had already caused permanent damage to the nerve.
In a nutshell this is what happened- the fluid had put extreme pressure on that nerve causing it to die. This then caused blood flow to that nerve to get cut off.
The NCBI explains the importance of treating nerve issues properly and quickly and the consequences that could erupt if they are not treated in such a manner, "Peripheral nerve injuries following anterior dislocation are common with about 10% of patients suffering injury to the axillary nerve. More sensitive studies using electromyography have reported a much higher rate of injury than this. Brachial plexus injuries are more unusual with the site of the injury often being related to the position of the arm during dislocation. Many authors recommend ultrasound screening of patients with first-time dislocations [to get a more exact diagnosis]."
What Was the Standard of Care Here?
Courts look at the standard of care that the physician/hospital was supposed to use when determining whether the hospital is at fault. Doctors must exercise the same degree of care as an ordinary member of their profession. Many jurisdictions only compare the defendant to professionals in a similar community. However, some jurisdictions hold professionals to a national standard.
The standard of care for doctors is usually a duty to render a quality of care consistent with the level of medical and practical knowledge the physician may reasonably be expected to possess.
When bringing a lawsuit for medical malpractice in NY, we are required to bring in medical experts to testify that the doctors and hospital staff did not adhere to the basic standards of medical care.
Experts from The Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery talk in depth about how doctors can decipher whether a nerve injury has occurred.
"The most probable clue to the presence of a nerve lesion is paresis. Although there was a clear relationship between paresis and nerve injury we did not identify a precise point in testing of muscle power that can be used to determine the presence or absence of nerve injury. We found that the best indicator of nerve injury after one week was paresis of the deltoid muscle. In order to detect nerve injury in the early stages, we tested the sensation in the distribution of the axillary and musculocutaneous nerves. Our results confirm the opinion expressed in the prospective studies mentioned above, that examination of sensation of the axillary nerve does not give a reliable indication as to the presence of lesions of the motor nerves. Abnormalities of sensation of the lower arm point to severe nerve injury."
The experts' analysis shows that loss of feeling in the hand, which is what the patient felt in this case, is a clear indication that there is nerve damage; yet the hospital took hours to re-evaluate the results of the x-ray.
In this particular case, there is no doubt that time was of the essence. A series of missteps by the hospital staff resulted in this young man's delay in diagnosis. That delay led to the loss of use of his entire arm and hand.
The tragedy of this all is that this was entirely preventable. Had the doctors and hospital staff timely recognized the fluid buildup and what the numbness and tingling in his arms signified, they could have rushed him into surgery many hours earlier resulting in a decompression of the nerve while it was still alive.
This young man happened to be a former bodybuilder, and now his injured arm is atrophied, shriveled and virtually useless. What a shame.

Exhibition on Kurt Friedrich Gödel__April 7th-14th
Mohammed VI Library will be hosting an exhibition on Kurt Friedrich Gödel, who is an important thinker and mathematician of the 20th century, starting April 7 to April 14, 2014.
The exhibition is being organized as a follow-up to the Presidential lecture on "Life and Work of Kurt Friedrich Gödel" that was held at Al Akhawayn University by Dr. Karl SIGMUND on March 5th, 2014.
Kurt Gödel, one of the most important thinkers of the twentieth century, spent only fifteen years of his life in Vienna, but those were his most important years. The lavishly illustrated lecture deals with the meteoric rise of Gödel, the discovery of his incompleteness theorems, the precarious situation in the years between Hitler's rise to power in Germany and the annexation of Austria, and finally his desperate attempts to flee the Third Reich. A large part of the lecture is devoted to the close relations between Gödel and the mathematicians and philosophers of the Vienna Circle

Dempsey and central defender Chad Marshall are scheduled to return from Colorado on Thursday and join the Sounders in training Friday. Coach Sigi Schmid didn't say whether he expects Dempsey and Marshall to be available Saturday when the Sounders meet the Vancouver Whitecaps at CenturyLink Field.
Forward Obafemi Martins also is officially an All-Star, but he won't attend while continuing to recover from a leg injury. Schmid was non-committal on whether Martins or goalkeeper Stefan Frei (shoulder) will be available by Saturday.
Evans will get the full week of work and is expected to be ready to return to the starting spot he last manned June 28 at Portland. The Sounders went into that game with a 9-6-2 record. They'll take the field this weekend at 10-10-2.
His time with the U.S. national team ended on a similar downturn as the USA advanced out of group play, but lost to Jamaica in the semifinal and then to Panama in the third-place game.
Evans played in four of the six USA matches with two starts.
The Premier Development League announced Monday that its 2015 championship will be resolved this weekend at Starfire Stadium. The Ocala Stampede will meet New York Red Bulls U23 at 6 p.m. Friday, before Sounders U-23 meets K-W United FC at 8 p.m. The championship game between the semifinal winners will be played at 5 p.m. Sunday.
The PDL also announced its all-conference teams. Among the Western Conference honorees are defender Jonathan Campbell and forward Guillermo Delgado of Sounders U-23, and goalkeeper Matt Grosey, defender Cory Keitz, and midfielder Nick Hamer of the Kitsap Pumas.


Prime Minister Ariel Sharon's former Likud party has been rocked again. Defense Minister Shaul Mofaz who was trailing far behind in the Likud race for party leadership has thrown in the towel and bolted to Prime Minister Ariel Sharon's new Kadima party. Mofaz says Sharon has promised to keep him on as defense minister. Mofaz follows the defection of Zachi Hanegbi, another leading Likud cabinet minister. Likudniks have lambasted Mofaz calling him 'a petty politician without principles'. Frontrunner Bibi Netanyahu charged: 'Mofaz has stooped to a new low for political opportunism'. Shaul Mofaz defends his desertion of the Likud by saying he no longer has a place in the party that has turned to the extreme right.The defections of Hanegbi and Mofaz indicate that political labels in Israeli politics are now pass?. Ariel Sharon's dramatic move to right of center with his Kadima party is forming a critical mass that is attracting politicians from both the far right and left wings of Israeli politics.

I enjoy acting, puppeteering, and other types of public performance.
The Modern Technology Podcast Network - I voice (and write and produce) multiple podcasts on my own podcast network. The flagship sketch-comedy program, Modern Technology Breaks, features a wide range of my character voices.
Callie & Izzy - I provided voiceovers throughout the series, and served as the show's narrator in Season Two.
I voiced the narrating character in a stick-figure animation of a short horror story from the annals of /r/nosleep.
Heavily-treated samples of my voice appear in the drum & bass track "Synthetic Seas" by Belgian cyberpunk musician HYQXYZ.
I voice a main character and some others in a cartoon series made for anti-smoking curriculum Tobacco 101.
The Media Show - In addition to being puppeteered by me, the series regular "Monster of the Week" and many one-shot guest characters were voiced by me over the six years I was part of the project. I also sang "What's it Like to Be a Hacker?", one of the show's original songs.
Aisle Six - A theatrical musical in the early stages of which I, at a certain point, had a pair of speaking/singing roles at the same time.
A selection of my other voice work appears on my Soundcloud.
For radio, podcasting, and other audio-based work I do outside of acting, check out my audio portfolio.
Puppetry and such
The Media Show - Puppets rage against the media machine on Internet TV. In addition to writing, crafting, and other duties behind the camera during my six years with the program, I performed as the recurring "Monster of the Week" as well as a rotating cast of disposable interns and other characters, puppet and human.
Aisle Six - A theatrical musical in the early stages of which I had a dual role as a repressed grocery store worker and his independently-aware hand puppet. At one point I performed a duet with myself... it's complicated.
I also do puppet-crafting and construction; for more info on that check out my visual art page.
Standup comedy - I've been popping into the standup world now and then. Most frequently I was seen at Say Everything, a unique form of standup showcase in Manhattan. You can hear audio of some of my standup sets on my Soundcloud.
Emceeing - I've found myself in some demand as an event host and emcee. I've done so at the HOPE conference since 2012, and at other events such as New York City Pagan Pride Day.
Nightmare: New York - I was a performer at New York City's longest-running, most elaborate, and most hardcore theatrical haunted house. In the 2014 house I played the Son of Sam, a blackout thug, and other supporting roles.
Street theatre - Once in a blue moon in the mid-2000s, I was seen running around Central Park, Union Square, and other NYC landmarks firmly in-character as Harpo Marx. Perhaps I'll pick up the horn again someday.
Improv - Having wanted to round out my performing skills in the direction of improv for ages, I studied and performed at the celebrated New York City comedy theatre The Pit.
Thoughts and opinions I express on this website are my own, and don't necessarily represent those of associates, colleagues, or puppets I've operated.


Shalimar Souffle Intense, a new Eau de Parfum created by Guerlain.
A sensual and enchanting creation to be worn like a precious jewel.
Once upon a time, four centuries ago, in India, there was a love that knew no bounds. For his beloved wife, the princess Mumtaz Mahal, the emperor Shah Jahan ordered the creation of the most luxurious gardens of Shalimar as a setting for their love. Later, he erected the Taj Mahal, a marvel admired by the entire world. This fabulous story inspired Jacques Guerlain to create an exquisitely seductive scent, the world's very first oriental fragrance: Shalimar.
A flight of green lively notes a breath of nature. The luminous heart gives way to an armful of white flowers and jasmine Sambac from India combined with an unprecedented orange blossom water absolute note.
Deep inside, the Tahitensis vanilla and the vanilla from Madagascar exalts a balsamed and amber sensuality, whereas the overdose of benzoïn its addictive and spicy facet.
Green notes married with Sambac Jasmin from India gives the fragrance a breath of freshness. Notes of spicy vanilla are sublimated by the benzoin revealing its sensual facet.
To emphasize and give to the vanilla its oriental side, Thierry Wasser combined Tahitensis Vanilla with Vanilla from Madagascar. A carnal facet reveals itself when the sensuality of the vanilla meets the orientalism of the balm tolu.


In his wonderfully deadpan instruction manual for our increasingly device-focused lives, illustrator Son of Alan taps into the strange truth of our obsession with the tiny screen. Revealing how ludicrous we've all become, and what wonders lie in stall for us mere inches from our faces, this book will make you want to reclaim your life, your friends, and your family from the tyranny of the backlit screen. Without nagging or preaching, this book uses hilarious but simple illustrations to highlight our universal (and ridiculous) dependence on the cell phone. In Stop Looking at Your Phone, device-driven readers will receive a much needed reminder of the possibilities life offers beyond the digitally enhanced screen.
Well, this was a funny little read!
I think there are too many people in the world who need this book. Let's just face the facts; there are deaths because of selfies. Why is that a thing? Anywhooo...this was witty, sarcastic, sometimes overly obvious (which made it funny), and overall a good read.
"Stop Looking at Your Phone" was a HILARIOUS read! Every illustration was so true to life and was a great reality check for those who spend a little too much time on their devices. The drawings were beautifully done. Overall, I highly recommend this quick and amusing read to anyone. I definitely know a few people this would be a perfect book to gift to.
Thanks to Netgalley/Author/Publisher for ARC of the book.
This is a hilarious book about how we are addicted to our phone. With our need to be constantly connected to the world we do miss all the things just next to us. The book illustrates this in a funny way.
The format is pdf format.

Be'lakor
From 1d4chan
Be'lakor the Dark Master is the first (and debatably only) Daemon Prince of Chaos Undivided. Of course, this claim of "Only" is suspect with the unclear status of Lorgar and Perturabo's alignments.
Due to his nature as a daemon prince of chaos, he's been sighted in both Warhammer Fantasy Battles as well as Warhammer 40,000. In both, he began as an ancient warlord from ages past who fought in the name of the Chaos Gods before they decided to elevate him as a Daemon Prince. Then he got cocky, thought himself better than his four owners, and then got royally bitchslapped back into line.
Warhammer Fantasy[edit]
Be'lakor was one of the earliest Chaos warlords, leading vast hordes of Daemons to ravage the world long before the Elves rose up against them. He impressed the Chaos Gods so much they turned him into a Daemon Prince, the first time they ever did that to a mortal follower of Chaos Gods. However, his four parents began bickering for ownership, each offering some presents in exchange for his loyalty. He decided to then take all their presents and fled to the mortal realms without doing any of their favors. He came during the First Great War Against Chaos, bending many to his will and carving a warpath - unwittingly carrying out the tasks the four set before him. As time carried on, more Daemon Princes were raised, siphoning the power and attention that was once exclusively his and eventually sparking a great war as these new princes sought to carve out territory. This distracted team Chaos from stopping the elves in Ulthuan from creating the Great Vortex, thus stemming the tide of badstuffs spilling into the world.
As punishment, the big four made him become the one to crown Everchosens of Chaos while never getting to become the Everchosen himself, which pissed him off to no end. This is a retcon though, as originally Be'lakor got arrogant and thought he was better than the Chaos Gods, so Tzeentch served him a big piece of humble pie by denying him a physical body and forcing him to crown each Everchosen. At one point Be'lakor co-opted this by possessing one of the Everchosen candidates (who became known as the Shadowlord), but Be'lakor's power destroyed the host body and he was stuck back in the role. In the expansion Shadows of Albion, Be'lakor was the main bad guy there, manipulating people to take the power and artifacts of Albion for himself, before failing and abandoning that plan.
With the latest Everchosen, Archaon, Be'lakor was once again forced to crown the Everchosen of Chaos with the final artifact. Be'lakor played a big part in the Storm of Chaos campaign, but that has since been retconned. Although he still shows up from time to time, he no longer appears to be quite as powerful as he once was, although he is still a Daemon Prince of Chaos Undivided, which is a massive accomplishment in and of itself.
During The End Times, Be'lakor was all set to return to his former glory and then some, plotting to become the fifth Chaos God by breaking into Kazad Drengazi, the Fortress of the First Slayer (Grimnir, natch), a temple containing the Chaos Gate that Grimnir used to get to the Realm of Chaos in the first place. Be'lakor used the power of the Chaos Gate to break Tzeentch's curse, regain his physical form, and summon four greater daemons, one of each of the Chaos Gods; two of them had had their shit ruined by Gotrek and Felix once before. Be'lakor and his posse planned to backstab Grimnir from behind, at which point Be'lakor would take all of Grimnir's power and ascend to become the fifth Chaos God, but Gotrek and Felix showed up and wrecked Be'lakor and the Bloodthirster, while Grimnir kicked the asses of the Keeper of Secrets, Lord of Change, and Great Unclean One. It looked like Be'lakor and Gotrek's duel could go either way at first, then Gotrek hit Be'lakor with the Bloodthirster and kicked all their asses back to the Realm of Chaos, ruining Be'lakor's plans. He later caused mischief in Athel Loren by manipulating the Khaintes and forest spirits to attack the elves, though he did play a major role in dooming the world by freeing Mannfred von Carstein from his imprisonment and ensuring the Chaos Gods learnt of Lileath's haven. But he got captured, gave the Incarnates info under threat of being Nagash's guinea pig otherwise tehn they forced him to go get trapped in a magic ruby by Alarielle for the rest of eternity. One true Everchosen my ass!
Somehow he managed to escape into the new world, only to get his ass royally handed to him by the Lizardmen dive bombing him with Pterodactyl riders. Embarrassed by this poor showing, he has since taken into hiding from the spotlight once more. That said, Archaon seems to be following his footsteps, as Archie's been elevated to the "High Marshal of Chaos", which gives him almost free reign to control or kill the champions of Chaos while still claiming no exclusive loyalty to any of the four (now five with the Horned Rat's ascension) - the only difference being that he's still arguably human.
Warhammer 40,000[edit]
In Warhammer 40,000, Be'lakor was the first Daemon Prince, as well as the first (and allegedly "last", but there have been two more since) Daemon Prince created through the action of all four Chaos Gods (apparently Lorgar and Perturabo were special exceptions or something (though knowing Pert, I wouldn't be surprised if he was 75% Khornate or something)), and quickly proved to be difficult to control even at the best of times. Apparently his creation gave him the Daemonic equivalent of daddy issues and now he spends most of his time trying to kill all other Champions of Chaos, including other Daemon Princes. The Chaos Gods tolerate him mostly because his wild-card status makes him an excellent pawn in their power struggles, something Be'lakor himself is completely unaware of (as he thinks he still has free will and just wants to cement his position as Chaos' sole champion).
Recently, he's shown up to "help" with Abaddon's Black Crusades by giving him seemingly helpful advice that often leads to unexpectedly heavy losses, all in an attempt to undermine his credibility (well, more so than he does on his own). In a stunning display of insight, Abaddon saw through his ruse, but allowed him to remain within the Black Legion in order to keep tabs on him and better prepare for his sudden but inevitable betrayal. The Imperium isn't even that aware that he exists, as Be'lakor has been very careful about concealing his presence from history (with the unwitting help of a Magos who learned just enough about him to know that he exists, but not enough to realize that he's a Daemon Prince).
He's also been shown to be in contact with Ahriman. No word on whether Ahriman has accepted his offer of being made his greatest champion in exchange for his service, however, but seeing as Ahzek rejects even Tzeentch's own offerings to be HIS chosen champion, still thinks he's independent of any god (despite having Tzeentch's mark on the tabletop), and actively tries to become the fifth Chaos god himself, it's a good bet he told Be'lakor to go fuck himself with someone else's force sword.

You know those days that start out in the cornfields of Indiana and end in downtown Chicago? Well Monday was one of them days. Chicago wasn't part of my original plan, but then again, that's how this thing goes. After the previous night, I thought I had gotten smart and planned my exact route for the day, down to the very campsite just across Iowa where I would stay. I drove through grassfields and cornfields all day, only to realize at a truck stop at 4:30 pm that my intended campsite was full. Grrr!!
I didn't know what to do, so I kept driving into Illinois, where I took the opportunity to re-join the LH in Aurora, as I had strayed from it a bit for time. I shopped at a Goodwill in Aurora, IL and searched for a cheap airBnB listing nearby. (In case you're not familiar, airBnB is a website where real people post listings of their room/apt/house/couch where travelers can come stay for the night, otherwise known as couch-surfing.) There I found an available cot in a hostel for artists just 40 minutes away in downtown Chicago. And it was only $25! I jumped on it, and when I got there, I was overjoyed that I did.
Needless to say, this was way better than the camping in Iowa plan. Since I had serendipitously found myself in Chicago, I decided to stay the next day and make the most of it. More on Chicago in the next post.

Q: How to use level-values for indexing in a dask dataframe? from a filtering step on the initial values of a data set I have a subset of indices of a much larger data set in the form
indices = pandas_DataFrame_of_initial_values[my_subset].index.get_level_values(0)

those indices are of the form
Int64Index([...], dtype='int64', name='id', length=N)

with this, I like to use the indices to reduce the large data set using Dask, given the data set as
from dask import dataframe as dd
ddf = dd.read_csv(path_to_data).set_index("id")

I tried
ddf.loc[indices]
# ValueError: The truth value of an array with more than one element is ambiguous. Use a.any() or a.all()

and
ddf[ddf.index.isin(indices)]
# NotImplementedError: dask.array<isin, shape=(nan,), dtype=bool, chunksize=(nan,), chunktype=numpy.ndarray>

and
ddf[ddf.index.isin(indices.compute())]
# ValueError: Item wrong length 236644 instead of 0.

How to actually use the subset of indices on the larger data set?

A: I just found that the Int64index type has a to_list method and with that the selection with the loc property works:
ddf.loc[indices.to_list()].compute()

The University of Glasgow has cemented its status as a Top Ten university for Medicine and continues to be the best medical school Scotland has to offer.
The four-phase programme at Glasgow takes students through the basic disciplines of Medicine ensuring they are well prepared for a medical career.
The University of Dundee has been on the brink of the Medicine Top Ten, and this year has entered with a considerable rise of six places. This can be attributed to Dundee having the highest Entry Standards in the country, meaning it will only admit the very best potential medics.
In recent years, Dundee has invested around £11 million on upgrades to its learning and teaching facilities.
The University of Edinburgh's Medical School is one of two schools in the College of Medicine and Veterinary. Edinburgh has never been outside the Top Ten for Medicine, which is quite an achievement in such a well-regarded subject.
As well as having excellent provision for its own students, Edinburgh Medical School also hosts students from all over the world whilst they undertake their elective placement.

Smith made sweeping changes at the auto giant, which had become complacent in its success and was losing share to foreign imports. Smith instituted a barrage of controversial changes at GM that included forming strategic joint ventures with Japanese and Korean auto makers, launching the Saturn car, investing heavily in technological automation and robotics, and ridding the company of its risk-averse bureaucracy. Though these changes struggled to earn consistent profits for GM, Smith was nonetheless credited with putting it back on the path to success.

National Audit Office report: Improving children and young people's mental health services
Improving children and young people's mental health services
This report examines whether the government is likely to meet its ambitions for children and young people's mental health services.
Background to the report
The government has acknowledged that, in the past, mental health services were seen as of secondary importance to physical health services. It has committed to providing 'parity of esteem' for mental and physical health services. Parity of esteem means that mental health is valued as much as physical health: an expert group, convened at the request of the Department of Health & Social Care (the Department), defined this as including equal access to care and an allocation of resources in proportion to need.
The most up-to-date estimates (from 2004) indicate that 10% of five-to 16 year olds have a mental health condition, although as little as 25% of children and young people with a diagnosable condition actually access services. In 2014 and 2015, the government announced £1.4 billion of transformation funding for children and young people's mental health services. In March 2015, it set out its vision for children and young people's mental health services in Future in Mind.
Content and scope of the report
This report forms part of a wider programme of work on mental health, following our 2016 report Mental health services: preparations for access and our 2017 report Mental health in prisons. It examines whether the government is on track to meet its ambitions for children and young people's services, taking Future in Mind as the starting point.
We focus in particular on how the government decided to implement Future in Mind; whether it is on track to deliver improved mental health services to young people; and accountability for spending and outcomes.
Report conclusions
The government has laudable ambitions to improve mental health services for children and young people. It started from a very low base when it developed its strategy and has prioritised improvement programmes which take an important, if modest, step towards achieving its aspirations. The government has not yet set out or costed what it must do to realise these aspirations in full and there remains limited visibility of activity and spending outside the health sector. While the NHS has worked to improve information on its activity and spending, significant data weaknesses are hampering its understanding of progress. Slow progress on workforce expansion to deliver NHS services is also emerging as a major risk to delivery.
The government must now ensure a coherent and coordinated cross-sector response, and that the right levers are in place to ensure local actions deliver the national ambitions. It has started to tackle issues of parity of esteem between physical and mental health services for children and young people, but it still has a long way to go, particularly as demand may be higher than originally thought, and an increased focus on mental health may uncover greater demand. Given these weaknesses and uncertainties, we conclude that the government cannot demonstrate that it has yet delivered value for money.
Jenny George shares her key takeaways from our latest report on Improving children and young people's mental health services.

Mental health services: preparations for improving access
(Apr 2016)


Hope you're having a great week and staying warm. We are supposed to have a mixture of snow/rain today and sometime next week, definitely not looking forward to it. My gray streak continues! I went with a more casual look with this coat; which I last paired here. Similar to that post, I went with a monochrome gray look.
In my humble opinion, sleeveless coats are staples and timeless pieces that can transform any outfit whether you're dressed up or down. I am currently craving, these: here, here and here.

Denis Villeneuve in Talks to Direct 'Dune' Reboot for Legendary
The filmmaker helmed the Amy Adams-starrer 'Arrival,' released last month, and the upcoming sci-fi sequel 'Blade Runner 2049.'

Denis Villeneuve's holiday plans may now include a trip to Arrakis.
The Blade Runner 2049 director is in talks to helm the Dune reboot for Legendary. The production company picked up the film and television rights to Frank Herbert's classic science-fiction novel last month.
Dune, which traverses themes of politics, religion and nature, follows Paul Atreides, whose family controls the desert planet Arrakis, which is the only producer of a highly valuable resource, spice melange. When Paul and his family are betrayed, he leads a rebellion to regain control of the desert planet.
David Lynch directed the 1984 adaptation of the 1965 novel. The $40 million film, which ultimately grossed $30 million and was a critical failure, has over the years become a cult favorite.
Thomas Tull, Mary Parent and Cale Boyter will produce the new Dune adaptation, with Brian Herbert, Byron Merritt and Kim Herbert serving as executive producers.
Villeneuve has had a busy end to 2016. The Canadian filmmaker's latest effort, the sci-fi feature Arrival, earned two Golden Globe nominations, including one for lead actress Amy Adams for her turn as a linguist put in charge of communicating with a mysterious alien race. Also, earlier this week the first trailer for Villeneuve's next feature, Blade Runner 2049, was released to cheers from the internet.

When it came to people�s life, he said, business considerations took a backseat.
However, at the insistence of the CEOs, the prime minister lifted a ban on mobile number portability (MNP) and sale of Sims through the companies� registered outlets.
Earlier this month, Interior Minister Mr Rehman Malik had banned MNP service and sale of Sims by cellular operators through their outlets and asked them to dispatch Sims to applicants through courier services to ensure their identity.
The prime minister agreed with the operators that the use of courier service would create a lot of hassle and affect their business and ordered removal of this condition.
He directed that the mobile phone companies would continue to issue Sim cards from their own business centres as well as franchise centres after verification from the National Database and Registration Authority.
The sale of Sims by retail networks would, however, remain suspended until biometric devices are deployed at each centre.
Mr Ashraf assured the delegation that measures taken by the government for the cellular sector would be guided by the principle that the normal lifestyle of the general masses should be least affected.
The government would also ensure that bare minimum inconvenience was caused to the masses, he was quoted as saying in a press release. Every effort will be made to facilitate the cellular companies, he added.
He also assured them that in future all stakeholders would be consulted before taking decisions on issues concerning the cellular sector.
PM�s Adviser on IT Dr Basit Riaz, Interior Secretary Khawaja Siddique Akbar, PTA Chairman Farooq Awan, IT secretary and other senior officials also attended the meeting.
After the meeting, the prime minister asked the ministries of interior and information technology to sit with customs and other relevant authorities to streamline the import and local assembling of cellular handsets and ensure that all handsets bear unique identification numbers (IMEI) and handsets without the IMEI and duplicate IMEI be banned.
The issue of 3-G licences was also discussed at the meeting.
The prime minister said the government would expedite the auction of 3-G mobile licences keeping in view its benefits for people in the form of providing easy access to employment opportunities, education, health, agriculture and other social needs.
Meanwhile, the Chairman/Chief Executive Officer of VimpleCom, the holding company of Mobilink, Mr Jo Lunder, called on the prime minister and informed him that his company was coming up with $1 billion investment in Pakistan.
Mr Ashraf said the government was committed to pursuing a policy of facilitating investors in all sectors, particularly the telecom, to attract modern technology for the benefit of people.
Mr Lunder said that the nature of telecom sector investment was long-term and dynamic because of a rapid change in technologies. He said the skill and competence shown by human resource available in Pakistan had impressed the multinational telecom companies.

#ZambiaDecides on their president and bill of rights
From the chilly wee hours of the morning right into the long blazing afternoon sun, millions of Zambians around the country queued up waiting to cast their votes in closely contested parliamentary and presidential polls held on 11 August.
Women with voices: female voters queue up in their own line to cast their ballots at Chawama Primary School in south western Lusaka. Chawama is a constituency held by President Lungu and it was also the area where inter-party clashes led to campaigns being suspended for 10 days in June and July.
Local elections, as well as a constitutional referendum on the bill of rights were run alongside the general vote, so in just one day, the people voted for a new president, parliament, mayor, council and a bill of rights.
And you thought South African local elections were confusing with two or three ballot papers.
A new electoral law requires the winner of the presidential vote wins by 50% + 1 vote so it's all bets in for who will lead Zambia between frontrunners President Edgar Lungu of the Patriotic Front (PF) and Hakainde Hichilema of the opposition United Party for National Development (UPND).
An early morning voter places her choice for president in the ballot box at Vera Chiluba Secondary School in Mtendere, eastern Lusaka where spiking pre-poll tensions caused concern over the peacefulness of the vote.
This is the first time all nine of the presidential candidates needed to have a running mate to avoid a presidential by-election, in case the president passes away in office. This is actually more common than you'd think – two presidents have passed away while holding office in the past 10 years.
Young voters outside Ahmadiya Muslim School, Kanyama, western Lusaka, show off their inked thumbs.
In the referendum, Zambians voted on whether to amend the bill of rights which gives Zambians rights to food, shelter, employment and healthcare. It also bans homosexual acts, abortion and raises the age of consent to 19. Many civil society groups had criticised the decision to carry out the referendum on the same day as the elections, saying that an amendment to the bill of rights in an important matter and should be done separately with elections. The Zambian government ain't got time for that, clearly.
Inked and counted: A young man at Chawama Primary School has his thumb marked to indicate he has voted. The new marking method raised concern among many voters forcing the Electoral Commission of Zambia to reassure the public the procedure was above board.
Current president, Edgar Lungu, won the last election which took place after the sitting president, Michael Sata passed away. He won the emergency election by just 27, 000 votes, which could be one of the reasons why the 50% majority vote rule has been constituted. Sata passed away in 2014 at the age of 77 in London from an undisclosed illness.
On the lookout: A first-time polling agent gave up his right to vote so others could do so at Vera Chiluba Secondary School in Mtendere, eastern Lusaka
This year's elections were characterised by pre-election violence, where there has been fighting between the ruling PF and the main opposition, the UPND. Three people have been killed in the fighting and many more were injured. The police have also stopped the opposition from campaigning and the running mate of the opposition leader was teargassed during a police raid. Zambia's daily paper, The Post, which has a reputation for criticising both the government and opposition was also closed down earlier this year for tax reasons but many have said that it was actually a political ploy to silence those who speak out against power. The UPND has also accused the ruling party of corruption and being unable to contain the economic crisis which is affecting the country as a result of the falling copper price (copper makes up for 70% of Zambia's exports)  and the drought-induced water shortages. The president has also threatened to call in the army if the opposition rejects the results of the vote.
Raphael Makonewo (right), 46, a former ward councillor candidate in the 2011 elections shows his support for the ruling PF as he waits to vote at Chawama Primary School.
The results are due to be released by Sunday, but if neither party gains 50% or more of the vote, there will be a second round of voting which will take place within 37 days to be contested by the top two parties.
Charles Phiri (23) draped up in PF gear, says he looks forward to the results of one of Zambia's most closely contested polls in recent history.

GHADC in dilemma over non-tribal issue
By From Our Correspondent	 On Mar 30, 2016
TURA: The ruling Garo Hills Progressive Alliance (GHADC) led by the NPP and the opposition Congress in the Garo Hills Autonomous District Council (GHADC) appears to find themselves in a catch 22 situation following a motion moved by Tura MDC against participation by non-tribals in the council polls.
The twenty-nine elected members (MDCs) of the GHADC will be debating and voting on the motion of non-tribal participation in the council polls on Wednesday, a day after Tura Independent MDC Rupert M Sangma moved the motion in the floor of the house. Moving the motion in the floor of the house during the first day of the budget session, Sangma said participation by non-tribals in the elections of the district council was against the very purpose the tribal institution had been created.
"The district council through the 6th Schedule was created to protect and uplift the tribal people particularly those living in the hill areas, but the participation by non-tribals destroys the very purpose it had been created for," said Sangma.
The Tura MDC along with four other Independent MDCs – Rightious N Sangma, Levastone T Sangma, Devier M Sangma and Kenadik S Marak – is seeking the exclusion of non-tribals from district council elections. They have formed the Garo Hills United Alliance front in the district council.
"I am not against any non-tribal. They are free to participate in parliamentary and assembly elections. However, the district council should be for the tribal people only," stated the Tura MDC.
Citing the last council elections in which some of the candidates, including himself, had contested on the tribal plank, the Tura MDC said that they were answerable to their electorate.
While the five Independent MDCs under the banner of Garo Hills United Alliance will be supporting the motion, the ruling NPP alliance is expected to oppose the motion given that one of its own elected members in the ruling alliance, S.G. Esmatur Mominin (NPP) of Shyamnagar constituency happens to be from the non-tribal community.
The opposition Congress too finds itself in an uncomfortable situation over the issue. Congress with its seven members also has Independent non-tribal MDC Sofior Rahman representing Balachanda constituency as part of their opposition alliance. Rahman was conspicuous by his absence on a day the motion was moved by the Tura MDC.

Unfortunately, supposedly because of a bug in Windows 10, when i connect to the vpn i lose access to the internet, which means i can't Bing or Google anymore… Not so good. (On a side note, the vpn software doesn't work in Edge either, needed to install Chrome to get going).
It took a few minutes to download the required 2 gigs, and then a few more seconds to get Ubuntu up and running. Since it was just a vm for me as work-around, i activated the AutoLogin feature (do not do that).
After that, Ubuntu restarted and the enhanced session stuff (high performance integration from VM to host) kicked in via XRDP. Unfortunately, here lies the problem, this enhanced session mode is not compatible with auto-login.
The way to fix it is to get into the tools "View" and unselect "Enhanced Session", that will kick you into the normal un-accelerated graphics interface. Then you go into the settings app, then users and unselect the "Auto Login" feature.
Then logout from Ubuntu and reactivate "Enhanced Session" and voilà, your are good to go !
So I have been giving a lot of thought to Microsoft and their consumer clients.
Their business strategy is straight-on : Azure, Office 365, Microsoft 365, Surface Hubs… These all tell a good story for the enterprise.
As for the other Surface devices (Pro, Book, Go, Studio and Laptop), I imagine these devices are meant to offer one item in each product category from a consumer point of view. These are all excellent devices and the software they run (Windows 10) is the same and meant to bring them back to their business (or consumer) strategy.
As for the student & school story, I believe it still needs to be worked on before something interesting can be said.
Before i go on, for comparison, i believe Apple makes a really really good consumer story – I am not a big fan of their closed ecosystem but do love what they do. Google by comparison seems neutral (by that i mean that the devices and services are similar, but there is no end to end story) – nothing to report here.
ONE – as a consumer what services would interest me from Microsoft ? Skype is decent, Office365 (with 1tb OneDrive) is awesome. I currently use Microsoft To-Do and for some odd reason i use Microsoft Edge. I also use Windows itself because i have 20 years of experience there vs Mac or Linux.
THREE – Microsoft still has no visible mobile vision, without a mobile plan i feel it has no chance in the consumer space and it i feel this jeopardizes it business strategy. For now Azure is safe, but if all my future employees know nothing of Microsoft why would i build a company around Microsoft technologies ?
The way i see it, Microsoft is in the unique position to embrace Android and it's ecosystem as well as become a challenger to the Apple ecosystem.
Make Windows run Android apps natively, instantly stop the app gap (though i am not sure it still exists anymore with the coming of PWAs) and become a part of the ecosystem itself.
Make surface hardware in the phone size space. Is it a PC ? is it an Android phone ? it's Windows – it's both.
Compete with Apple in hardware with the Surface line, in services with Windows. Compete with Android by embracing it and diluting the market by enabling every pcPCto do what phones do and making people have fun on PCs again.
As most IT workers, I log into my Windows device with my Microsoft account. I then go on and add a few more work accounts to my device (Office365 accounts) for the different companies I own.
This is where it breaks – synching settings to the cloud seems to disable itself when you add a work account. Hence I have to revert back to Chrome for synching my favorites.

Magento has officially announced they will not begin end of support for Magento 1 in 2018, and support for the first-gen platform will not end through 2022 or beyond. Along with that statement, Magento has stated they will announce end of life support at least 18 months in advance of the sunset date. With this knowledge, merchants running on Magento 1 can rest easy that their technology roadmap will not need to be drastically altered in the near future. However, there are many benefits to migrating to Magento 2 that have become especially apparent as the platform matures and the market share of users grows.
What should Magento 1 Users Evaluate?
Though security patches and important updates will continue for Magento 1 users, that does not mean it will be where the innovation lies. Because of the open-source spirit of the fast-growing Magento, there is a large community of innovative developers that develop module enhancements for everything from sales, site optimizations, front-end upgrades, B2B capabilities and more. These developers are getting trained in Magento 2 by the droves, and the focus will be about building forward-facing innovations and functionalities for the newest version of Magento, Magento 2.
Web Solutions NYC will continue supporting our Magento 1 clients indefinitely and with top care and support, but we are undoubtedly excited about the opportunities and potential that Magento 2 can provide. That's why we have spent the last year refining and perfecting our re-platforming services, to make sure that for our clients and new clients the move to Magento 2 is a headache-free process.
A streamlined migration to Magento 2 requires an experienced development and management team. Web Solutions NYC has the process down to a streamlined, one-price process with no bloated project times or costs. Want to know how Web Solutions can help? Let's chat.

State Department Briefs USCIB on US National Action Plan
Melike Yetken (U.S. Department of State) addresses the USCIB Corporate Responsibility and Labor Affairs Committee
Melike Yetken, a senior advisor for corporate responsibility with the U.S. Department of State, provided an update for approximately 40 USCIB members on May 2 on the U.S. National Action Plan on Responsible Business Conduct (NAP). Yetken's update was part of USCIB's bi-annual Corporate Responsibility and Labor Affairs Committee, which took place over two days in Washington, DC. In her update, Yetken discussed the goals of the NAP – to emphasize positive contributions and to mitigate negative aspects and highlight that the U.S. is the only government that has written a NAP on responsible business conduct.
"This first U.S. NAP lays a great foundation," said USCIB Vice President Gabriella Herzog, who recently came on board to lead USCIB's practice on corporate responsibility and labor affairs. "This is particularly so since it brings together in one place all of the initiatives in which the entire U.S. government has been engaged for years – and in many instances, leading global efforts, whether on government transparency and anti-corruption or forced labor, child labor and human trafficking."
USCIB co-hosted the first public consultation on the NAP two years ago and has since advocated alongside its global partners and other major business organizations for the U.S. and other governments to develop these strategic planning tools to implement the State Duty to Protect under Pillar 1 of the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights. When done well, NAPs can help support businesses in implementing their responsibility to respect human rights in their own operations and those of their business partners.
Committee Chair Laura Rubbo of Disney presided over these meetings, which were hosted at the offices of Foley and Lardner. The meeting spanned various pressing topics such as the OECD Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Business Conduct, the International Labor Organization's (ILO) program on decent work in global supply chains, the Customs Tariff Act of 1930 and human rights and mega-sporting events. USCIB members also heard from former USCIB staffer Adam Greene in his capacity as senior advisor for the Bureau for Employers' Activities at the ILO who gave an exclusive update on the ILO Program on Decent Work in Global Supply Chains.

The Secrets of Making a Great Mobile Game
Since 2009, Kabam Studios has been making hit games such as Kingdom of Camelot and Fast & Furious 6: The Game, the latter of which has had more than 43 million downloads since its launch a year ago. We spoke with president Andrew Sheppard to uncover the secrets of its success.
By Nicholas Schmiedicker
Could you walk us through the creative process for developing a mobile game as opposed to a PC or console game?
We operate quickly, and we operate off Kevin's [Kevin Chou, cofounder and CEO] vision of where the game is going. We take both an artistic and scientific view of how to build a new game, kind of like a television studio. Our consumers are able to interact and provide feedback through pilots like TV. We can then change the aesthetic, mood, and tone to hone in on the game play. Once the game goes live, we can use real-time data and advanced downloading techniques to hone in on in-game behaviors.
We've found that there are three sets of people who play our games: There are the mass-market casual gamer kids with a social element, a subset of folks who like to battle and are very confrontational, and a third set that are a lot like a support class in that they like to help people. We focus on tailoring to those audiences depending on the genre we're working on.
Mobile marketplaces seem saturated with different types of gamesand clones on top of more clones. How do you make your games stand out?
The mobile marketplace is incredibly competitive. There are over 1 million choices in North America alone, even more globally. Each day it becomes more difficult. We try to focus on voice and build a game so that it's mass market. Kingdoms of Camelot, for instance, [is based on] a very beloved lore in Western culture. And we actually rely more on trusted referrals, which is very different from the social game companies of yesterday.
What are the challenges for a game for an established franchise, such as The Hobbit or Fast and Furious?
There is a negative perception about licensed games. Traditional products with licensed properties try to build a very familiar experience, and there are problems that can happenactors need to look like they do in the movie and they aren't available to come in, for instance. We mindfully build around those realities of releasing against the movie launch. We craft story lines that are complimentary to the movie but don't parallel the movie directly, which gives our artists and creative team more room as they create the game.
So what are all the small elements that come together to make a Kabam game?
The essence of every game we make is where the market is today and to aspire to be the best game possible, not just in terms of game play but the service around it. A key layer for this is for every game to have a more social layer and integrate with social networks. We want them [the player] to transcend into the universe of the game.
What's your favorite kind of game to build?
I've worked on all three versionstraditional console, Web/Flash, and mobileand each is different. Mobile is my favorite to work with, as it sits between the other two. It has the benefits of the Web: responsive data, easy updates to games, and no burden of certification. It's an early high-growth category with more opportunity for original intellectual property to arise. Web is super easy to make stuff in. You can push code, introduce bugs, and fix it just like that. But, the reality of Web is that you have to build for the lowest common denominator, that is, you have to build a game that'll work on 90 percent of PCs.
What can you tell us about the next upcoming game?
The only thing I can say is it's going to be awesomesomething people won't expect.

Home/Arts/Court Rules for Germany in Nazi-Era Dispute Over the Guelph Treasure
Court Rules for Germany in Nazi-Era Dispute Over the Guelph Treasure
admin Send an email 1 September 2022
A U.S. federal court has ruled against the heirs of Jewish art dealers who sought to sue Germany in America over a trove of valuable medieval relics that the heirs said were sold under duress and at a drastic discount in Nazi-era Frankfurt.
The ruling by the District Court for the District of Columbia dismissed a suit brought as part of an effort to recover the Guelph Treasure, a collection of medieval religious artifacts now estimated to be worth about $250 million.
A consortium of three firms owned by Jewish dealers bought the collection in the final days of the Weimar Republic in 1929. They sold about half of the collection to individual buyers and museums.
But as the Nazi government took power, the collection also drew the interest of Hermann Goering, a powerful Nazi figure and the prime minister of Prussia. According to the heirs, Goering coerced the art dealers into selling the remaining artifacts in 1935 for much less than they were worth.
The 42 pieces that were sold ended up in the Museum of Decorative Arts in Berlin.
In 2014, a German arbitration commission that specializes in Nazi-looted art ruled that the museum had acquired the collection legitimately, determining that the 1935 sale to Prussia had been voluntary, and did not need to return the artifacts.
As a result, the heirs sued in federal court in the United States. A three-judge panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit ruled against Germany, allowing the case to proceed.
Germany argued that the lawsuit was barred by the Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act, which generally forbids suits against foreign states. However, the law allows some exceptions, including one for the expropriation of property.
But last year, the Supreme Court unanimously ruled that the exception did not apply when a foreign government was accused of taking its own citizens' property.
The Supreme Court returned the case to the lower courts to address an alternative argument put forward by the heirs that their relatives were not in fact German nationals at the time of the 1935 sale and so were free to sue because the exception to the Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act would apply.
The heirs argued that two of the dealers had fled Germany for the Netherlands and were not considered German nationals, while those who remained were subject to Nazi policies that stripped Jews of the legal and economic rights normally associated with being German citizens.
But in the ruling, Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly said that the heirs did not put forward enough information to support their argument that the dealers were not German nationals at the time of the sale.
The heirs' allegations "regarding the individual art dealers and Nazi regime policies in effect during the applicable time period do not suffice to demonstrate that the Consortium members were not German nationals at the time of the sale," she wrote.
Judge Kollar-Kotelly also found that lawyers for the heirs, earlier in the case, had erred by failing to put forward their argument that they should be exempted because they were not considered German nationals. The heirs' lawyers had at that time focused on the argument that they were entitled to bring their case in an American court because the dealers were the victims of genocide and genocide was a violation of international law.
As a result, Judge Kollar-Kotelly said, the case did not qualify for an exception of the Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act.
In a statement, Hermann Parzinger, president of the Prussian Cultural Heritage Foundation, or SPK, which oversees Berlin museums, said: "We are pleased with the decision of the U.S. District Court, which confirms the SPK's longstanding view that this lawsuit for the restitution of the Guelph Treasure does not belong in an American court. The SPK is also of the opinion that the sale of the Guelph Treasure in 1935 was not a forced sale as a result of Nazi persecution and that the lawsuit for restitution is therefore also unfounded in substance."
Nicholas M. O'Donnell, a lawyer representing the heirs, said his clients were disappointed by the ruling and were weighing an appeal.
"This recent decision ignores that two of the victims had left Germany for Amsterdam by the time of the forced sale, as well as the detailed record of Nazi policy that in the eyes of that hateful regime, no Jew could ever be considered a German," he said in an email.
"Further," he said, "the idea that my clients never raised the facts that their ancestors were not German nationals under international law is simply perplexing; every pleading to date has noted the Nazi government's odious perspective on this question and the relevant departure to Holland."
