With a rise in flu cases, what can be done to prevent, treat it?
By LARA HAMDAN
Dr. Ken Haller addressed how to navigate the flu including the symptoms, treatment and prevention.
LARA HAMDAN | ST. LOUIS PUBLIC RADIO
The St. Louis County Department of Public Health reports 1,282 cases of influenza in the first week of January. The illness is also causing a low blood supply at local hospitals.
On Monday's St. Louis on the Air, host Don Marsh discussed why the flu is so prevalent in St. Louis. Joining him for the discussion was Ken Haller, SLUCare pediatrician at SSM Cardinal Glennon Children's Hospital and professor at Saint Louis University.
Haller addressed how to navigate the flu including the symptoms, treatment and prevention, period of contagion and effectiveness of the flu vaccine.
Q: Why has it been a bad flu season?
A: Frankly, this is a particularly bad strain of flu. This strain is called H3N2 and it seems to be the bad one hitting us this year. Unfortunately, the vaccine that was created for the United States does not hit that one directly.
Q: Does that mean that this year's vaccines are ineffective?
A: It's not totally ineffective and we still recommend getting it. The thing is, even if you get the H3N2 strain, [the shot] will make your illness less severe. While the vaccines change from year to year because the strains change from year to year, the immunity you get each year does tend to have a shadow effect for a few years after that. Even though you're getting vaccines against certain strains this year, that will still give you some protection if those strains show up again in the future.
Q: How to prevent catching the flu if it's in the air?
A: Do things that will keep your body's defenses up. Drinking lots of fluids, getting lots of sleep, using saline spray in the nose to keep things nice and moist, that's the kind of stuff that will be really helpful.
Q: What about treatment?
A: In terms of just treatment, listen to what your body is telling you. Cytokines, chemical messengers [in the body,] will give you those feelings of feeling sick. One of those reasons that they do that is that they tell you to stop, just be quiet, don't run around, don't go shopping, don't go to work, just stay home and drink lots of fluids and do the things your body is telling you to do. Once you have the flu, try to take care of yourself and get plenty of sleep. Chicken soup is good; people will often crave fruits that have a lot of fluid in them like citrus fruits, listen to what your body is telling you. It's also not a good idea to lay down all the time; it's still a good idea to get up and move around because what happens with the flu is your body is producing a lot more mucus. If you just lay in one position that mucus will settle in the lungs which can block up air passages and bacteria will not be able to work their way out and can fester up and cause pneumonia.

7 tips on when to give children their first phone
By ALEX HEUER
When should parents give children their first cellphone or smartphone? What factors should be considered? How do maturity, development and sleep considerations play into it all?
St. Louis on the Air host Don Marsh talked about the issues with two doctors:
Ken Haller, SLUCare pediatrician at SSM Health Cardinal Glennon Children's Hospital
Mini Tandon, Washington University child psychiatrist at St. Louis Children's Hospital
Maturity matters, not a specific age: "The issue is not an age, it's not a grade. It's actually the maturity level and the responsibility level demonstrated by that child." – Dr. Tandon
Start early and build trust: "It's common practice in our practice to hear 'everyone's doing it, everyone has one, how come our family is different?' But everybody's family is different. Again, it depends on what the purpose of the cellphone is and the responsibility level of your child. I think contextually, it's true, if you're using it just for safety purposes, why not, there's going to be some embarrassment but you could also use it as a way to build trust and say, 'look, yes you have this very archaic flip phone and yes, it may be embarrassing but what were' trying to do is build trust. Once you can show us the responsibly level of just this bare skeleton version, as you age and as we can trust that you're using it appropriately, maybe we build in the extra products that are available.'" – Dr. Tandon
"We have to start much earlier in terms of parents looking at their interactions with their children and when they put them in front of screens, how much time they put them in front of screens versus how much time they sit down and read them a book, and point out things and talk to them and just interact in that way." – Dr. Haller
Maintain control: "You have to think about how smart you want that phone to be: what it can do and what it will have access to. If you have that conversation with your children and you decide that they can handle a cellphone, it really is important for parents to have controls where they have full access to everything on the cellphone." – Dr. Haller
Model appropriate behavior: "If you want to model good behavior, you're going to not text when you drive as an adult, you're going to have to set some standards. If you don't want your kids at the table during dinner on their phones than you might have to actually show that you can do the same." – Dr. Tandon
Parenting style: "What we really want is more of an authoritative parenting model where the parents say to the kids, 'We're in a partnership here but I am your parent and there are certain rules I'm going to make in your best interest. You can ask me about that and I'm going to explain it but still the rules will be my rules and you're going to have to meet certain standards and certain benchmarks in order to move from the flip phone to a more advanced phone.'" – Dr. Haller
Limit screen time: "I am amazed sometimes when I get kids in my office and they're in for a regular physical and one of the questions we ask is how much time do you spend in front of a screen for recreation – this isn't homework – this is computers, video games, various things like this, tablets – and some kids will go, 7, 7 hours a day!"
"I don't think that's a good thing. While this is a lot of time to be doing this one thing, my bigger problem is that it is cutting into actual time spent with friends, time spent with family, time spent with physical recreation."– Dr. Haller
Develop a Family Media Use Plan: Dr. Haller suggests a tool developed by the American Academy of Pediatrics. Among the suggestions are:
Keep screens out of kids' bedrooms.
For children under 2, substitute unstructured play and human interaction for screen time.
Take an active role in your children's media education

Vaccines, Outbreaks, and Personal Choice: Measles by the Numbers
By DURRIE BOUSCAREN
Measles has not reached the St. Louis area this year, but that hasn't kept it from stoking fears.
Local public health officials are encouraging parents to make sure their children's vaccinations are up-to-date by checking with their individual health providers. With worries that last month's outbreak in Disneyland could continue to spread, officials in Illinois are investigating the source of five infants diagnosed with measles at a day care center outside Chicago.
Though Illinois Senator Dick Durbin told a Chicago TV station that another suspected measles case had been identified in Madison County on Friday, the Illinois Public Health Department said they no longer consider it a potential case.
We decided to take a look at the numbers. In fact, vaccination rates are quite high for schoolchildren in both Missouri and Illinois—nearly every county in both states reported vaccination rates above 90 percent for most of the shots required by law.
Common reasons for non-vaccination include allergies, medical concerns, and religious objections. Children under the age of 1 are too young for the vaccine, and can be at risk during an outbreak. The map above includes children who have begun vaccinations, but are on a delayed immunization schedule.
How common are the measles?
Not very, but outbreaks have become more frequent.
644 cases of measles were reported in 2014, the most since the disease was declared eliminated from the US in 2000. More than a hundred cases were reported in January of 2015, most of them linked to an outbreak at Disneyland.

Prior to widespread immunization, measles was common in childhood, with more than 90% of infants and children infected by age 12. Recently, fewer than 1,000 measles cases have been reported annually since 1993.
CREDIT CENTERS FOR DISEASE CONTROL AND PREVENTION
Over the past decade, outbreaks tend to be related to unvaccinated people contracting measles abroad, and spreading among communities of people who are not immunized.
95 percent of school children in the city of St. Louis are up-to-date with their immunizations, according to data obtained from the state of Missouri.
"It's very disappointing that some parents choose not to vaccinate their children based on rumor and fear tactics, but it's a very small percentage of people," said St. Louis Health Department director Pam Walker.
Before vaccines were available, measles was quite common. The CDC estimates that between 3 and 4 million Americans contracted measles each year in the decade before the vaccine was developed, with up to 500 deaths a year.
By comparison, influenza killed 1,532 people in 2010, according to the CDC. (Pneumonia, which is often a complication of the flu, killed about 52,000).
What do measles feel like?
Dr. Ken Haller remembers getting the measles in 1962, at the age of 7.
"I remember being absolutely miserable for two weeks. My muscles were achey, I could barely swallow, the lights were too bright," Haller said. "It's just a really horrible disease."
Today, Haller is a pediatrician at Cardinal Glennon Children's Medical Center. He says he often talks to parents to allay their concerns about the safety of vaccines, which often stem from a 1998 study linking the measles vaccine to autism, which was later debunked. He published a review of available research in 2012, which can be found here.
Listen to Dr. Haller discussing the importance of vaccinating for measles on STLPublicRadio.org
"We really want people go get vaccinated, and get kids vaccinated, because you're not just protecting yourself, you're protecting other vulnerable people," Haller said.
Symptoms of measles include a high fever, cough, a runny nose and watery eyes. After a few days, patients may develop a rash of flat red spots and small raised bumps. About one in 1,000 patients will develop inflammation of the brain, which can lead to a loss of hearing or permanent brain damage. The disease is fatal in about 1 in 1000 cases.
Mild reactions to the vaccine, such as a fever or rash, are relatively common. In extremely rare cases, children may develop a severe allergic reaction or other complications. Further information can be found on the CDC's website.
Who isn't vaccinated?
Missouri and Illinois allow two exemptions for non-vaccination when children attend school: medical and religious.
Children with immune diseases, blood disorders, or cancer are often unable to get the vaccine for medical reasons. Members of some religious sects, such as the Amish or Christian Scientists, sometimes oppose vaccination. (An outbreak among Christian Science students at Principia College in 1985 led to three deaths and a quarantine).
St. Charles-based chiropractor, Mackenzie Mcnamara, says her patients represent a range of opinions over the issue. Some choose to vaccinate, some choose not to, and others decide to vaccinate on a delayed schedule. Mcnamara separates herself from the 'anti-vaccine movement,' but says parents should be able to choose whether or not they vaccinate their child.
Measles are highly contagious, and the death rate if a person contracts the disease is 1 in 1000. But due to the abundant use of vaccines, deaths due to measles have been virtually eliminated in the U.S. Mcnamara says some parents worry about the possibility of side effects from the vaccine.
"Clearly there is a risk, and [parents] should be able to choose if they assume that risk with their child," Mcnamara said. She adds that friends and clients have felt a sense of backlash against their opposition to vaccines since the outbreak in California.
"I think there's a definite middle ground, I wish people would see that too," Mcnamara said.

Meningitis symptoms discussed
By Bill Raack, KWMU
St. Louis, MO. – The death of a high school senior in Wentzville yesterday from bacterial meningitis has health officials reminding parents to be on the look out for symptoms of the disease.
Eighteen-year-old Eric Hamilton had complained of feeling ill just last Thursday.
Bacterial or meningococcal meningitis is a rare infection of the lining of the brain and spinal cord that can strike quickly. Cardinal Glennon pediatrician Dr. Ken Haller says the symptoms can be confused for the flu.
"Fever, headache, difficulty with exposure to light, what's called photophobia, people don't want to be around the light, neck pain, stiff neck and stiff shoulders," Dr. Haller said. "Vomiting can be part of it too because as pressure increases inside the skull and the central nervous system, that can cause nauseous and vomiting."
Dr. Haller says germs can be spread through secretions in the nose or throat and are transferred by close contact like coughing, sneezing and kissing.

A month into his campaign for governor of Maine, U.S. Rep. Mike Michaud, D-2nd District, tuned up his campaign rhetoric during an appearance Tuesday evening at Waterville's Universalist Unitarian Church.
WATERVILLE — A month into his campaign for governor of Maine, U.S. Rep. Mike Michaud, D-2nd District, tuned up his campaign rhetoric during an appearance this evening at Waterville's Universalist Unitarian Church.
Michaud defended himself against criticism from Eliot Cutler, an independent who formally announced his candidacy for governor earlier in the day.
Michaud, who said repeatedly during the night that he is running a positive campaign, said he viewed it as running for something, governor, not against the other candidates.
In Cutler's announcement, he characterized Michaud as a creation of party politics.
Michaud said his experience, which includes time on the Legislature's Appropriations Committee, is an asset, not a detriment.
"I'm very familiar with the budgetary process, and I know some of the pitfalls to watch out for," he said.
Without naming Cutler, Michaud said his own experience distinguishes him as a candidate.
"People can talk about what they'd like to do, but I do have the experience," he said.
In addition to positivity and experience, Michaud spoke often about the work he did to secure better reimbursement rates for Medicaid and MaineCare, the state's Medicaid program, in the federal Affordable Care Act.
"When you look at the expansion of Mainecare, not only will it cover an additional 70,000 people, but it will also save the state of Maine over $600 million over a 10-year time frame," he said.
Michaud spent about 90 minutes circulating slowly around the church's basement, cup of coffee in hand, engaging in conversations with everyone in the crowd, which numbered about 45 people at any given time.
He fielded questions about manufacturing in Maine, his own campaign's strategy, his relationship with U.S. Sen. Angus King and expanding passenger rail travel in the state.
Among the attendees were Colby College seniors Philip Hussey and Ben Wexler-Waite.
Wexler-Waite, president of the college's student Democrat organization, said he was impressed with Michaud's message and planned to campaign for him.
Hussey said he was taking advantage of the opportunity to meet all of the candidates in the race.
"That's one of the best parts of Maine politics. You come down, shake hands and talk about the issues," Hussey said.
He said that with the election 14 months away, it was too early for him to have made a decision about who to vote for.
Jim Easton, president of the church's board of trustees, said Cutler and LePage have also been invited to the church to meet area residents. Cutler is scheduled to visit in October, and LePage has not responded to the invitation, he said.


One of the most effective ways to support The Fort St. John Salvation Army is by hosting a "Drive", and we want to share some ideas to make it a whole lot easier to host. With the Christmas season just around the corner, there are a number of drives that would really benefit the men, women and children who seek our help. Check different types of drives we've suggested or come up with a whole new idea. If you need us to provide tubs or bins to hold the items you've collected, we can do that too. Register your drive our event using the form at the bottom of this page, or call our administrative office at (250) 785-0506.
Please consider items that can be prepared to serve nutritious, well-balanced meals for families when donating.
Undergarment Drive - Helping our clients find their pathway to hope and a better life often starts with helping them regain their dignity. One of the easiest and most effective ways to do that is with new undergarments like underwear, socks, and t-shirts; the very items we take for granted on a daily basis. Helping us collect these items ensures we can continue to help those in need.
** If you are looking for one specific item, we need socks. The foot care problems for people who are homeless are great and are a major deterrent for one to getting or maintaining a job. The average homeless person stands in lines about 4 hours a day and walks on the average of 35 miles a day usually on cement! Problems usually include chronic foot infections, immersion foot caused from being in wet socks & shoes too long, as well as severe calluses, blisters, and ingrown nails from poor (if any) socks and ill fitting shoes. Then of course in the winter there is the excruciatingly painful problem of frostbite.
Christmas Dinner Drive - The Christmas holiday is a time when most people sit down do a bountiful meal of turkey and an assortment of sides, enjoying the fellowship of family and friends. But for many, this yearly feast is only possible thanks to the generosity of those in their communities where organizations like The Salvation Army provide the Christmas meal. Each year, your Salvation Army provides the items needed for a family to enjoy a beautiful meal on Christmas Day but due to shortages in our food bank we need your help to ensure we have enough to meet the need. Please consider donating a turkey or an assortment of side items to help us continue to provide this opportunity to create beautiful memories around the table.
Toy Drive - We all love seeing the look of excitement and wonder on a child's face Christmas morning, but for many families in our community, the stress of being able to provide even one wrapped package under the tree is un-measurable. By organizing a Toy Drive, you will be able to assist us in making sure that each child in Fort St John receives a gift to open Christmas morning.

Re: can Federal Fair Housing Law prohibit a disabled tenant living in a landlord owned coop, if rent stabilization expires?
: : coop, because the renter is disabled?
: to rent. There may be other protections in other statutes.


However, this criminal charge will not be valid if the initial arrest or detention of the suspect is not legal. If the police officer does not have a legal basis to stop the suspect or arrest him and then the suspect gives false identification information to the police, the criminal defense lawyer should be able to get the charge thrown out even if the suspect did in fact provide false information to the police. Therefore, in a situation where a police officer suspects a person of committing a crime without specific evidence, detains that person and the person gives a false name, the person is not technically guilty of the crime because the initial detention would not be considered lawful.

Ray Holt ou Raymond Jacob Holt est un personnage de fiction apparaissant dans la série télévisée Brooklyn Nine-Nine, interprété par l'acteur Andre Braugher et doublé en version française par Thierry Desroses.

Biographie
Ray Holt travaille à la Brigade du  dans le quartier de Brooklyn, à New York, en tant que capitaine de police. Il fait son apparition dans le premier épisode de la première saison. Gina Linetti est la première à découvrir l'homosexualité de son nouveau capitaine. Par le passé, il a subi beaucoup de moqueries de ses collègues, à cause de son homosexualité et beaucoup de brigades refusaient de l'engager. Il est marié à Kévin Cozner, professeur à l'université, a un neveu Marcus, avec qui Rosa Diaz aura une relation amoureuse de courte durée, et une petite sœur, Debbie, qui lui rend visite dans l'épisode La croisière. Sa mère est juge fédérale.

Dans son enfance, il adorait se faufiler dans la pièce de son père pour jeter un coup d'oeil aux globes antiquaires. Il a également tenu un journal.
Avant de devenir capitaine de la Brigade, il a passé huit ans au bureau des affaires publiques. Au cours de sa carrière, il a arrêté plus de 600 personnes. De caractère stricte, il est très à cheval sur les règlements du commissariat, et semble incapable d'exprimer la moindre émotion, restant de marbre face aux événements joyeux comme tragiques de sa vie. Il s'ouvrira cependant, à différentes occasions, pour remercier ou féliciter ses détectives comme Jake ou Amy Santiago, lorsque ceux-ci lui prouvent leur grand attachement pour leur capitaine, en le sortant de difficiles situations. Dans l'épisode Opération Captain's Fury, la brigade du 99 subit la mauvaise humeur du capitaine, sans explication. En menant sa propre enquête, accompagné de Gina et de Kevin, Jake découvre, par une caméra de surveillance, que son capitaine s'est fait agresser par trois voyous, mais a réussi à les mettre hors d'état de nuire, au prix d'avoir été poignardé. Le fait que Rosa sort avec son neveu va les rapprocher davantage.

Sa rivale est la chef-adjoint Madeline Wuntch, qui était amoureuse de lui, mais l'a rejetée, lui avouant qu'il est gay. Dans le dernier épisode de la saison 2, il quitte la Brigade, étant transféré au service des relations publiques en tant que directeur. La saison suivante, grâce à Jake Peralta, il fait son retour à la Brigade après le départ du capitaine intérimaire Darren Pembroke, celui que Jake et ses collègues surnomment «Le vautour». Il encouragera Amy et Jake à travailler ensemble, tout en les autorisant à poursuivre leur relation amoureuse. Après avoir réussi à démanteler un gros réseau de trafic de drogues, avec l'aide de Jake, ce dernier reçoit un appel menaçant de Jimmy Figgis (alias « le boucher ») et il est contraint, avec son collègue, de fuir.

Au cours de la saison 4, Jake et lui vivent depuis 6 mois à Coral Palms, en Floride, sous les identités de Larry et Greg, dirigeant d'une fan zone et vendeur de quads. Bien qu'ils soient sous couverture, ils mènent tout de même leur enquête sur Figgis, le chef du réseau de trafic de drogues qu'ils ont démantelé. Ils sont d'abord arrêtés par la police de la ville pour possession d'armes, mais s'échappent de prison. Faisant appel à la Brigade du 99e, ils réussissent à piéger Figgis et ses complices, ce qui permet à Jake et au capitaine Holt de reprendre leur service actif. Mais cette action n'est pas sans conséquence : en effet, ayant désobéi à leur capitaine intérimaire Jason Stentley, la Brigade du 99 est contrainte de travailler aux horaires de nuit, mais dans l'épisode La Surmolition, Holt & Peralta vont permettre à ce dernier de récolter toute la gloire pour avoir démantelé un vaste réseau de trafic de drogues, permettant de retrouver leurs horaires normaux.

In today's rapidly evolving energy industry, more and more companies are beginning to realize the benefits of installing on-site solar technology. Businesses that deploy solar can expect energy cost savings, excellent returns on investment, rebates and tax breaks, and environmental benefits. Investing in solar energy, as well, sends a strong signal to consumers that a company is conscious of its energy use and environmental impact, which may provide additional financial gains through public relations and marketing benefits. Check out these three food companies which are harnessing the power of the sun.
In 2003, over a decade before many of its competitors, Kettle Brands celebrated 25 years in business by creating an "inspiring rooftop view." The popular chip producer partnered with their local utility to install one of the largest grid-tied solar PV arrays in the Pacific Northwest.
The 114kW solar system generates more than 120,000kWh of electricity per year at the company's headquarters in Salem, Oregon. Solar generates enough power for Kettle Brands to produce 288,000 bags of chips and reduce CO2 emissions by 85 tons annually. And the company has demonstrated their pride in sustainability by branding their potato chip bags with images of solar panels and the sun that powers them. Who doesn't love chips made by the sun?
Ranked in the Top 20 companies by megawatts installed in the Solar Energy Industries Association Solar Means Business 2016 Report, Campbell Soup has installed a total of 12 megawatts of solar power at three of their company locations. The food industry titan made a name for itself with its first install: a massive 9.8 megawatt solar system at the Campbell's manufacturing facility in Napoleon, Ohio, which came online in summer 2012.
In 2015, Campbell's announced its second accomplishment in solar at its Pepperidge Farm bakery in Bloomfield, Connecticut. The ground-mounted, fixed-tilt array is projected to produce more than 1.7M kilowatt-hours of electricity in its first year alone.
Most recently, Campbell's announced that it will soon get 20 percent of its energy at its worldwide headquarters in Camden, New Jersey from 4.4 megawatts of installed on-site solar, the largest solar system of its kind in the city. The new system will include 2.7 megawatts of solar on its existing rooftops and solar canopies covering its parking lots, as well as an additional 1.7 megawatts of solar on a 4.5-acre brownfield adjacent to Campbell's headquarters.
Campbell's recent solar installs reflect the company's goal to reduce energy use by 35 percent per ton of product produced and source 40 percent of the energy used by the company from renewable or alternative energy sources.
While not a household name, Rivermaid Trading Company is a major fruit grower, processor, and shipper, which produces more than 50 percent of the pears in California and 8 percent of the state's cherry crop. Rivermaid installed a 1.47 megawatt system at its cherry packing facility in Lodi, California in 2016. The system is expected to save the food producer more than $13 million over the next 25 years.

SAMMY SENDS CONDOLENCES TO RELATIVES OF ST LUCIA ACCIDENT VICTIMS
—West Indies captain Darren Sammy offered condolences to the families and loved ones of those who died in the tragic accident in his native St Lucia last Thursday. Speaking on Sunday ahead of the second Test match against India, Sammy took time out before addressing cricket matters to pay his respects to those who lost their lives.
"I want to take time out on behalf of the team to send my condolences to the family, friends and loved ones of those persons who died in what was a horrific accident back home in St Lucia. The persons who died came from a community near to where I was born and grew up so I knew most of them very well. It is a sad time for me and the whole of St Lucia," Sammy said.
"Being a positive person, I intend to use this as a motivation to go out there to play well. If there is one thing that could bring a smile in such times is to see a West Indies team win."
Reports have indicated that as many as 19 persons, including children from the village of Dugard, lost their lives when the bus in which they were travelling went over a cliff and into the sea.
Sammy is the first and only St Lucian to play Test cricket for the West Indies.

We believe that there is one, and only one, living and true God, an infinite, intelligent Spirit, whose name is JEHOVAH, the Maker and Supreme Ruler of Heaven and earth (7,); inexpressibly glorious in holiness (8), and worthy of all possible honor, confidence, and love (9); that in the unity of the Godhead there are three persons, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost (10); equal in every divine perfection (11), and executing distinct and harmonious offices in the great work of redemption (12).
We believe that the great gospel blessing which Christ (26) secures to such as believe in him is Justification (27); that Justification includes the pardon of sin (28), and the promise of eternal life on principles of righteousness (29); that it is bestowed, not in consideration of any works of righteousness which we have done, but solely through faith in the Redeemer's blood (30); by virtue of which faith his perfect righteousness is freely imputed to us of God (31); that it brings us into a state of m ost blessed peace and favor with God, and secures every other blessing needful for time and eternity (32).

We believe that a visible Church of Christ is a congregation of baptized believers (66), associated by covenant in the faith and fellowship of the gospel (67); observing the ordinances of Christ (68); governed by his laws (69), and exercising the gifts, rights, and privileges invested in them by his Word (70); that its only scriptural officers are Bishops, or Pastors, and Deacons (71), whose qualifications,claims, and duties are defined in the Epistles to Timothy and Titus.

Macbeth (Olivier, National Theatre)
Author: Louise Penn Published Date: June 13, 2018
Life is too short for a bad Shakespeare. Rufus Norris, artistic director at the National, returns to the Bard after a long sabbatical, and unwisely places this tight drama of power and ambition on an Olivier stage which drowns it.
Rory Kinnear as Macbeth, and Anne-Marie Duff as Lady M, are both actors who have excelled in previous stage productions here, but here both seem lost in the way Norris has chosen to direct them, even to the point of mangling the rhythm of the verse.
There's a lot of plastic in this production. Severed heads in supermarket bags. Cheap and dilapidated sets. Even the witches don't gain a sense of horror or magic.
Good things – I like Stephen Boxer as Duncan, in his blood red suit. It's always a difficult role to pull off as it is so small, but we had the measure of him, quickly.
Making Ross and the 2nd Murderer female was interesting – although the latter was dreadful – but making Fleance a girl was pointless, as she would not succeed to the throne and so was no threat to Macbeth, even with the prophecy of Banquo "fathering a line of kings".
Removing Duncan's younger son Donalbain removed the constant problem of what to do with him. He contributes very little – a previous production at the West Yorkshire Playhouse gave him learning difficulties, which at least allowed the character to be memorable. Here we just have Malcolm, but in Norris's cuts and changes to the text, his big speech with Macduff disappears.
The royal palace of the Macbeths when they reign was as decayed as they were, with signs of a front-line military occupation, with the billycans of the banquet giving it the sense of a greasy spoon affair. The ghost's appearance though was poorly thought out, and didn't work.
Having dual casting with Seyton and the Porter gave a new dimension with the Porter's comedy routine consisting of snatches of plot he has overheard, about the murder of the King – this gives him some power over his employers, but as this character isn't well-developed enough, this isn't as developed as it could have been.
I really didn't like the mangled verse I have already mentioned – blank verse has its own music, so use it! And the drunken dancing on Duncan's last night didn't work for me.
This could have been so much better, but was yet another disappointing production from this particular director's tenure. I would have liked to have seen an intimate production based in the Dorfman, perhaps, which got to the core of the characters.

In what will likely be the biggest sale out of this year's South by Southwest, Starz is nearing a deal to acquire the indie comedy "My Blind Brother" in the low seven-figure range, Variety has learned.
The movie, directed by Sophie Goodhart and telling the story of a local smug athlete (Adam Scott) and his underachieving brother (Nick Kroll), created a bidding war with many distributors, including Netflix, the Orchard, Sony and Gravitas Ventures.
Starz, which landed North American and Latin American rights for the film, will give "My Blind Brother" a day-and-date release in 25 markets and VOD (via Starz Digital) later this year, followed by an exclusive TV debut in 2017.
The cast also includes Jenny Slate and Zoe Kazan. "My Blind Brother" was produced by Tyler Davidson and Tory Tunnell. It premiered at SXSW on Saturday to strong reviews.
This has been a slow market in Austin, with only a handful of indies generating buzz. Netflix has already picked up the horror movie "Hush" and the documentary "Asperger's Are Us." Several other sales are expected to close in the next few days.
WME handled the deal.

Available every day but Saturday and only at the Ruth's Chris Bar, the $35 Filet & Cabernet dinner consists of a 6 oz tenderloin filet topped shrimp and paired with a glass of Ærena Cabernet Sauvignon. The special is scheduled to be available 1/28/19 – 4/28/19.
For more details see the Ruth's Chris Promotions website. The chain also announced the deal on Facebook.
Ruth's Chris Steak House has a Surf 'n Turf special for $49.95.
Available at participating locations only. Pricing and menu selections may vary by geographic location. For more details see the Ruth's Chris Promotions website.
Ruth's Chris has a happy hour at many locations. The "$9 Sizzle, Swizzle, Swirl Happy Hour" includes a selection of full-size appetizers and premium cocktails.
Ruth's Chris Steak House is a chain of 140 steakhouses across the United States and in several international locations. The restaurant is regarded as an upscale fine dining establishment and is currently the largest luxury steak company in number of locations, operating income, and overall profit, larger than The Palm and Morton's.
Most restaurants are open for dinner only, although some locations also offer lunch. The dress code is usually a range from business/dressy to business casual. Most locations have private dining facilities and offer business communications via satellite. The company also offers outside catering and a wedding service through the Ruth's Weddings brand.
The weekday Sizzle, Swizzle, Swirl Happy Hour offers a selection of cocktails, wines, beers and bar food at a fixed price of $9.00.
The restaurant's signature is serving USDA prime steaks that are seared at 1800° Fahrenheit (982.2 °C) and served on ceramic plates heated to 500° Fahrenheit (260.0 °C). Half an ounce (1 Tbsp) of butter is added just before the plates leave the kitchen in order to create the signature 'sizzle'.
In addition to steaks, the restaurant also serves entrees of chicken, lamb, fish, shrimp and lobster.
Portions generally are large enough to serve two or more diners. Family style side dishes include au gratin potatoes, topped with a bechamel sauce and Cheddar cheese. Some recipes, such as the BBQ shrimp, New Orleans style creamed spinach or the sweet potato casserole, are traditional 19th century Louisiana recipes that originate with Ruth Fertel's family, particularly her great-uncle Martin, a Louisiana Delta farmer from a French-Alsatian family. Some of these recipes have been made publicly available by the family and by the company.
Also available are dessert selections, with the restaurant's signature creme brulee being a staple item throughout the chain.
In 2009, Ruth's Chris introduced their "Ruth's Classics" menu of prix fixe meals where guests choose a three-course meal; starter, entree and side, and dessert. This menu is updated seasonally every three months.
You can find the complete menu at the Ruth's Chris website.


Alfred Russel Wallace, the 'David Attenborough of the Victorian Era', was the co-discoverer with Darwin of the theory of evolution by natural selection ('survival of the fittest'). He was an extraordinary explorer and collector, a polymath, who was fêted and honored in his day yet he is largely forgotten today. Celebrating the 100th anniversary of his death, this adventure cruise follows in Wallace's wake through some of the remotest parts of Indonesia. Sailing on beautiful hand-built phinisi schooners, this natural history tour will explore the many remote and uninhabited islands of the Raja Ampat Archipelago, Halmahera Island, and the volcanic island of Ternate. Raja Ampat is acknowledged as the richest reef area in the world; Halmahera is one of the least-known major islands in Indonesia; and Ternate is the island town which Wallace made his home base and where he wrote his 'Letter from Ternate' to Darwin which set in motion the world-changing publications on evolution.

Scott Harvey with Speaking of Harvey out of Lexington, KY came and presented to over 500 MCHS students in an Assembly entitled "Iamsomeone." Harvey's presentations centered around personal responsibility and social media awareness. He has an easy, story-telling way of connecting with students by making them laugh, cry and most importantly, think! He uses his experience in law enforcement and teaching the D.A.R.E. program to movie his audience to action.
In conjunction, Officer Gretchen Morgan with the Paducah Police Department presented to students all week and provided information about the importance of online media safety, bullying, sexting on what to do and how to report it. Students were engaged in interactive presentations on how our choices can effect us for the rest of our lives and the importance of being responsible with online media because the truth is, once you put it out there, it is forever.

Center coordinated its second "Nonprofit Volunteer Fair" for the students at MCHS. Community agencies came to MCHS over several days and set-up display tables during lunch to involve students and show them what volunteer opportunities are available in our community. Students stopped by the booths, received information about the organizations and signed up to volunteer! Our students are always seeking ways to give back to the community, causes for their clubs/organizations and different ways to build their resume.
Partnering organizations included: Hope Unlimited Family Care Center, Paducah Cooperative Ministry, The Senior Center, United Way, Family Service Society, Boys & Girl's Club, Merryman House and Cassidy's Cause.
We are so proud of our students and their willingness to want to give back! Thank YOU to all of the partnering organizations for investing in our students at MCHS!

Th e Mustang's Youth Services Center partnered with the Paducah Police Department to coordinate a texting & driving session with one of the Family & Consumer Science classes at MCHS. Students were able to drive a golf cart through a simulated course with Officer Gretchen Morgan while texting & driving. While participating, they were able to see the dangers of texting, taking selfies and being actively involved in other social media activities while operating a vehicle. Distracted driving is becoming one of the leading causes of accidents in our nation and the purpose of the simulation was to make our students aware of the danger first-hand. In addition, students also participated in a simulated exercise with beer goggles to show the dangers of driving while under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
Thanks to our friends at the Paducah Police Department for being such great community partners and supporters of our school!

Nick's 3-year check-in as a VMware Solution Engineer Part 2
Welcome to episode 104 of the Nerd Journey Podcast [@NerdJourney]! We're John White (@vJourneyman) and Nick Korte (@NetworkNerd_), two Pre-Sales Technical Engineers who are hoping to bring you the IT career advice that we wish we'd been given earlier in our careers. In today's episode we have the second half of our discussion with Nick on his 3 years at VMware.
Topics – Nick's 3-Year Check-in at VMware, Part 2
1:10 – Let the Grilling Begin
Last week we heard Nick's reflection on 3 years at VMware. This week is John's chance to grill him!
What has made Nick stay for 3 years?
He still loves the company, what it does, and the technology it makes. He still appreciates the time using VMware technologies as a customer and has enjoyed seeing the growth of the company since that time and since he joined.
There are many career opportunities inside the company not available to Nick when he worked as a customer.
The work is dynamic, which Nick loves. The people he works with appreciate what he does, are helpful, and the managers have been very encouraging and supportive.
3:19 – A Follow up on Feedback from the One-Year Check-In
See Episode 21 and Episode 22 for Nick's first year reflection.
What about the adjustment from going to an office and working from home? What has this adjustment been like for Nick and his family?
Nick's daughter did not like when he had to travel for several days. She now appreciates that he does not have to leave town very much.
Nick tries to communicate his schedule in advance (even during the times he only traveled locally to visit customers / go into the office) to ensure there's no conflict with family schedules or that things can be adjusted accordingly.
What about the daily routine?
Now it is all work from home.
In the early days there were full days at home, partial days at home, entire days traveling (locally or in another state).
Just before the pandemic there was less travel out of state and more within driving distance.
There is still an element of catch up when you're out visiting customers and traveling.
Now that he is 100% work from home, we plan accordingly to engage customers as needed.
How has Nick adjusted to the career strategy? He was so focused at getting into VMware in the beginning that he lost sight of what was next.
Nick has had conversations with each of his managers to get feedback on his strengths / where they think he should go.
Some of the advice was don't specialize too early. Become very good at what you do not, and take that specialty into something more technical. See also Episode 26 on the differences between being a generalist and a specialist.
Nick has also thought about Technical Marketing since he enjoys blogging and presenting. But he also likes meeting with customers.
He likes mentoring others. Nick says his wife thinks he would be a great manager, but he is not sure that is what he wants (not sure if it is his Area of Destiny). Each manager has told Nick he could certainly do management if he desired with the proper training.
Right now, he is riding the track of staying on the generalist SE (Solution Engineer) path.
Nick is focused on deliberate practice in this SE role but also taking a step back to figure out how he can broaden knowledge about tech in general but also get deeper in certain areas of the portfolio. Perhaps certifications would be a good help here.
John says it sounds like Nick has a good philosophical basis for his career. The tactical next things to shoot for maybe are not as important. The concrete next step / short term goal of progressing up the SE ladder sounds like the way to go.
Nick likes the idea of staying fluid in future plans (allowing himself to fall into something new if it is the right way to go) but focus on getting better every day.
What did Nick have to learn about the hard way?
Some technical and business leader personas were very new to Nick. There were times when he got very nervous (and felt a lot of pressure) about having conversations with these folks. He eventually decided not to be afraid to mess up and make mistakes because he knows it will happen. Too much pressure before one of these conversations doesn't help. Nick wants to define success in terms of something he can control rather than the outcomes.
John mentioned having to do research on what C-level folks care about and how important it was to know this going into the conversation. It's not really products.
Seeking to understand is a great approach.
What has it been like to experience the growth and change at VMware over these years?
Some products are now SaaS and on-premises. Despite the same features, they have different license models. You have to know which one will be better for the customer. Each product is a wealth of information.
The experience of getting educated in each area is like spinning plates. It can be challenging to stay up to date in all areas.
Nick has probably studied up more than needed in certain cases.
John mentioned finding the right level of depth is difficult.
Some of the learning came from finding the answers to questions from customers (out of necessity). These can also be good opportunities to learn a customer's business better.
What about the philosophy of training and balancing the internal skills training with external interests?
Nick points this out as an opportunity for improvement. There is still a quarterly week of enablement.
There are live trainings and recorded trainings, some optional and some required. Customer facing activities are the priority.
The balance is hard to keep.
What about interaction with the larger account team?
Think of Nick as the technical quarterback of the account. He works with other internal groups and pulls them in at the right time and for the right purpose.
This requires some kind of synchronization meeting with the specialist teams.
You try to make the right call for engaging these specialists.
Nick thinks of it like this…
Do the right thing for the customer.
Be helpful to internal teammates. One way to do that is getting them involved to help when valuable to the customer, the account team, and the specialists themselves.
Many customers don't often realize how big their account team is.
How has the business of technology influence been for Nick?
Some of it comes from exploring the VMware tech and using it himself. Nick has, for example, shared his explorations with Azure Functions and Tanzu Observability with customers.
Having a body of work to support what you're talking about helps provide credibility.
Influence can also come from pushing people forward in their career. This can come from helping others build skills and encouraging them to share with the greater community.
Nick initially had some discomfort in being perceived as being in a Sales role as opposed to being looked at as a technologist. How has that gone?
Nick tries to operate with integrity in all circumstances.
As John has stated previously, the Solution Engineering organization does sit within a greater Sales organization but is separate.
Nick has to be concerned about whether the technology will solve the problem the customer has, if it will work, if the right version and licenses were selected, etc.
Part of this is a due diligence to the company and the customer.
Being a truth teller is important.
28:50 – Culture Check-In
How has the change in teams, managers, and segments helped Nick's career?
He likes to learn how others do the job, how they interact with their customers, how they interact with others internally, etc.
Aggregating the bright spots / what is working for others can be adapted to your own style so you're still you.
These changes have helped build a support network of peers who are willing to help.
Big time collaborations have often get kicked off by sharing with teammates and getting to know one another on a personal level.
Nick shares the story of a teammate who vetted an idea he had for VMworld that was eventually accepted.
What about manager changes specifically?
It's good to get those different perspective from leaders and hear what they believe is important.
The coaching methodology has remained the same from management. You just have to get used to the manager's style, the metrics they want to collect, how involved they want to be, etc. Adapting to someone else helps you grow.
32:51 – Reflections from before VMware
Nick wishes he would have been able to describe the benefits of his projects to the company. He's not sure he was as attentive to what leadership cared about as he should have been.
Nick was not reading a lot of books outside of work at that time. He wishes he had done more reading and been less consumed by tactical things.
He participated in the Spiceworks community, but he's become better after job changes at connecting in the vExpert community, on Twitter, and in other communities.
Nick wishes he would have spun up a home lab back then, but he never seemed to have the time (or the resources for that matter).
How could Nick have made it to VMware faster?
Nick was not sure how much he was going to like IT when he first fell into it and definitely was not mindful of all the options available in the field.
The folks that Nick started connecting with outside of work most of the time did the same job as him. He didn't have the kind of exposure to the types of roles that existed and should have spent time asking people about the career opportunities available.
He got so busy that he never really wondered if he was on the right path / if the job at the time was what he wanted to be doing.
Advice for the would be SE?
Talk to people who do the job at different companies because it does not mean the same thing everywhere. Know the full scope of what it is.
Make sure you are comfortable with the technical depth.
You need to believe in the products / services your employer provides.
You should like working with people. The SE job isn't for you if you don't like interacting with people.
Reach out to Nick or John if you need help / advice!
The life of a SE is hard to describe. No one can be told what the matrix is.
For anyone out there, take some time to step out of the day-to-day and spend time in reflection about what you do, what you like about it, where you work, etc.
John cites how important it is to have a written job description for the role you have.
These are all things we probably just didn't take time to think about.
The best time to plant a tree is 15 years ago, and the next best time is today. It's never too late to start.

Right now I'm tucked away in the van driving what to me seemed to be a Tornado in Florida. Its been some time since we left Austin but it feels like only yesterday I was hungry and sweaty all over. Searching for free booze and new tunes. This is how my voyage went down.
After spending two weeks on tour with our Mississippi brothers The Weeks we arrived in Austin on Tuesday. The first and last night in Austin is always my favorite. We met up with our great friend Dan Millice, who mastered our record to check out a house show. I didn't think too much of it until I was told that Thomas Pridgen (ex Mars Volta drummer) was playing with his new band The Memorials. We got there to also catch Lite, this crazy band from Japan that sounded like Battles and BOYFRNDZ from Austin, Texas who actually had their record produced by Ikey from The Mars Volta as well. After a few beers and half bottle of Evan Williams we preceded to Red 7 where our dude's we're about to start their SXSW week off. Anytime you can catch these guys please do. One of the few bands I can watch every night and never get tired of. We ended the night on top of some roof listening to dance music and getting bottle service. One of us may or may not have thrown up off that roof. I'll leave it up to you to guess.
Day Two started off rough but we grabbed some truck food and made it to catch The Rocketboys at Rusty's. I only caught probably 3-4 songs but this is close to one of my favorite sets I saw at SXSW. We had to rush to the Billy Reid shindig to catch the second The Weeks set so we jumped in a cab to avoid the stress of rushing. Billy Reid sure knows how to throw a party. Beautiful women, great bands, and free Old Fashioned's. We stuck around to catch The Weeks and Dawes before heading to our first show at SXSW. It was a house show in someone's backyard. Making it for only two acts before us we decided to grab some beer and enjoy before our set. One group named The Lower Class stood out. Young rappers that definitely had their own style. When it came to our turn to The Weeks showed up and we got down. I will never not enjoy house shows. The energy at them is non comparable to a club show.
Day Three we kept it pretty chill until later that day. The drinking in the sun the past few days had taken a toll but we were still pushing on. First thing you have to understand about SXSW is that time management is key. After ordering most definitely the best philly cheese steak sandwich I checked the time only to notice my dudes Sol Cat from Nashville were going on in 5 mins. I handed my sandwich to Philip and walked down to catch the tail end of Kingston Springs set. First time catching Kingston Springs since last years Serpent and Snakes party so in hindsight I'm glad I left my delicious sandwich. Up next was Sol Cat and these dudes never fail to get the party started. Definitely the grooviest band I saw at SXSW. We ended the night at what seemed to be a Nashville party (Miley Cyrus reference?) to catch Dino's Boys (Atlanta) and Natural Child (Nashville). Nashville's scene is one of my favorite scenes right now in the country. Seem's to me from outside perspective that everyone is just trying to rock and have fun.
Day four started with catching our hometown buddies HRVRD play at their record labels showcase. It's always gnarly seeing your dudes you grew up playing with grow as a band and it brings me complete joy seeing tons of people get into these dudes. They played a killer set then had to bounce so we trekked it to catch a drink and see Natural Child again. We probably ended up seeing every band twice this SXSW trip. After some whiskey shots and a bit of confusion we decided to catch Turbo Fruits play at Hotel Vegas. These dude's always put on a killer set and if you haven't seen them make sure you catch them. Our second set was later that evening for the Vulcan Army Showcase. Due to PA troubles our set got pushed back about 2 hours so we made it for Pan,Co, Cloudeater, Winter Sounds, and Cusses. It's crazy going so far away from home and still have relatively local bands playing a show with you. After drinking free booze for those two hours we proceeded to play inside the gallery. More cramped then ever but still a great time. We only had enough time for 4 songs since the show got pushed back but it was just enough.
The last day at SXSW had finally come. The day to party like this is your last SXSW. We started with our last The Weeks set at The Serpent and Snakes/ All Saints Party. This was my favorite set of theirs. We got properly day drunk and took some promo shots behind the venue with Laura Meek, our photographer friend from Mississippi. Afterwards with a lot of down time before the next set we went on the search for the last SXSW meal. We ended up at a delicious BBQ spot where both Obama had been and signed a menu. I'm surprised they didn't ask me to sign a menu but whatever. I guess Obama's more famous. After eating we went to get cheap drinks and talk to our friend Brent. Needless to say this was the downfall of the evening. First time we'd all got real drunk together the whole week so we we're on top of the world. Loudest dudes at the bar and buying too many drinks. In fear of not being able to get into the last The Weeks show we decided to try and catch Dignan. Eli and I trekked it back down to Rainey St to a packed house. Dignan is probably one of the most underrated bands in this country. Everytime I catch them play I asked myself why they aren't huge. They played all my favorites and truly was the perfect end to my SXSW trip.
Everyone has their own opinion on SXSW. Its gotten to commercial, it doesn't really help smaller bands anymore, blah blah blah but what I do is take everything face value. It's just a great week to hang with your friends, catch some music, eat gnarly food, and drink as much free booze as you can. If that sounds too commercial to you then don't go but I'll make sure myself and Junior Astronomers show up every year. Three more dates left on our tour home with HRVRD and I already miss Austin.


Kicho is a small background-only application that modifies the behavior of the caps-lock key such that when caps-lock is on, typing with the shift key produces lower-case letters, similar to the behavior of the caps-lock key on PCs and Apple IIs. Or if you prefer, Kicho can completely disable the caps-lock key, very handy on PowerBooks. Kicho can also disable the help key, useful to prevent accidentally bringing up large help dialogs. And finally, Kicho can play subtle key click sounds as you type, a feature found in some high-end keyboards that provides feedback many typists find useful.
Because Kicho is an application and not an extension or control panel, it can be activated and deactivated on-the-fly, without restarting, and is unlikely to cause system conflicts. However, being a background application, it still runs invisibly.
Version 1.5 adds the key click sounds and the option of disabling the help key. It also fixes a bug in 1.0 that caused auto-repeat characters (created by holding down a key) to be missed.
Kicho requires Mac OS 8 and a PowerPC processor.
Price: $10 per single-user license. Site and worldwide licenses are also available; see our registration page for details.
If you wish to register Kicho, you may do so through our on-line registration form.


Rest? Who needs rest? (Or a honeymoon, for that matter!) Only three days after exchanging vows during a beautiful ceremony at St. George's Chapel in Windsor, newlyweds Prince Harry and Meghan Markle attended their first event as a married couple.
The newly-minted Duke and Duchess of Sussex joined the birthday festivities for Prince Charles at Buckingham Palace on May 22. Although the heir to the throne doesn't turn 70 until Nov. 14, the Royal Family opted for a May celebration — a more fitting date to throw a garden party, and an ideal way to avoid the miserable late-autumn weather.
The event is a celebration of Charles' lifelong charitable works and his associations with military regiments and units.

Speaking to guests, Harry paid tribute to his father while recognizing the victims of the Manchester Arena bombing a year ago. "We're here today to reflect on and to celebrate my father's dedicated support to all of you and the work that you do. But first I would like us to take a moment to reflect on the tragic events at the Manchester Arena a year ago.
Despite having a whirlwind week so far, Meghan didn't seem the least bit concerned about delaying her honeymoon, as the Duchess of spotted sharing an inside joke with mother-in-law, Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall.

Meghan looked positively regal (not to mention, incredibly British) in a peach Goat dress, Vantugen earrings and a bespoke hat by Philip Treacy.
The Duchess seemed at complete ease with her new in-laws. On Saturday, Prince Charles had the honour of walking Meghan partway down the aisle on her wedding day after her father, Thomas Markle, was too ill to attend.

In a statement released by Kensington Palace this weekend, the Prince said he was "pleased to be able to welcome Ms. Markle to The Royal Family in this way." He also accompanied her mother, Doria Ragland, after the ceremony.

The Green Park story, chapter 12: A most remarkable year
Like most great stories, the Green Park story can be plotted by memorable way-points and summits of achievement that we have enjoyed throughout our journey.
Our twelfth year marks a particularly thrilling chapter, with nine award wins, a further five nominations and a renewed proposition; a game-changer in our firm's history.
Our resonating message and efficient business practice have seen the successful growth of our executive search, interim management, board advisory and diversity & inclusion consultancy markets whilst simultaneously expanding our services into the realm of outsourced volume recruitment and managed services through our People Solutions offering.
With the turbulent political landscape in the UK, we realise that our voice as a force for change has never been more crucial. We're proud to be a vital mouthpiece for BAME and gender diverse leadership candidates in such an important, continually evolving conversation, just as we are determined to continually campaign to change the face of future leadership.
It is a great honour to have been recognised for this commitment as change-makers and, for our contribution to the recruitment industry, which at the start of 2018 achieved a total revenue of £32.2 billion, having employed over 100,000 people.
AWARD WINS
The year got off to a great start as Green Park were 'Highly Commended' in the 'Recruitment Agency of the Year' category at the Recruiter Awards, widely recognised as one of the largest recruitment awards events in the UK, so as you can imagine, a very proud moment for the team.
Our summer season went off with a bang as Green Park's CEO, Raj Tulsiani, was featured on the EmPower List 2018, an index of leading ethnic minority business leaders across the UK, Ireland, United States and Canada; followed shortly by Managing Partner, Neil Lupin, and Associate Partner, James Nash, being named as Leading Interim Provider Consultants by the Institute of Interim Management (IIM) with Green Park also being awarded Platinum Interim Service Provider status.
With Autumn came a flurry of award wins at multiple industry events, with Green Park collecting three awards in the space of a week. At the Recruitment International Awards, Green Park took home the Diversity & Inclusion Champion Award, Raj won Entrepreneur of the Year and his winning streak continued when he was named Entrepreneur of the Year at the MSDUK Awards, which recognises achievements in Diversity & Inclusive Procurement. Green Park was also shortlisted for the Growth Business of the Year award at the Asian Business Awards.
In November, we were named Diversity & Inclusion Champion at the Inclusive Companies Awards and, shortly afterwards, were highly commended by the Global Equality & Diversity Awards for the Lord Noon Award, recognising our outstanding contribution to increasing boardroom diversity. Then, to top off a wonderful year, Raj Tulsiani won 'Business Leader of the Year' at the IRP Awards, which recognises recruitment excellence.
We're extremely proud to celebrate our achievements this year, and we remain hopeful that diversity & inclusion in leadership continues to drive and shape the recruitment strategies within some of the largest companies in the UK.
At Green Park, we'll continue to break down the barriers that hinder organisations from realising the benefits of a diverse workforce, as we boldly ramp up our campaign to change how organisations think about talent. Watch this space as this story is to be continued.
Listed below are our award wins for 2018:

Q: Is there an object such that its unique existence follows from choice axiom, while its existence cannot be proven without choice axiom? Let $\varphi$ be a formula, and suppose $\text{ZFC}\vdash \exists x\varphi(x)\wedge\forall x\forall y(\varphi(x)\wedge\varphi(y)\to x=y)$
Is $\text{ZF}\vdash \exists x\varphi(x)$ true?

A: I posted this originally as a comment to Alex's answer but, at his suggestion, I am expanding it into a proper answer.

This situation actually occurs in practice in infinitary combinatorics: we use the axiom of choice to establish the existence of an object, but its uniqueness then follows without further appeals to choice. I point this out to emphasize that this is actually a common and interesting phenomenon, rather than the result of metamathematical tricks, as one might erroneously conclude from the examples in the other answers.
For a simple example, from choice one can prove that there are uncountable regular cardinals. Once we know that they exist, it is obvious that the least such cardinal is unique. However, $\mathsf{ZF}$ is not enough to prove its existence. This example is perhaps a bit misleading in that, under $\mathsf{ZFC}$, $\aleph_1$ is the least uncountable regular cardinal, but $\mathsf{ZF}$ suffices to prove the existence of $\aleph_1$. What it cannot prove is its regularity.
More interesting examples identify objects whose existence requires the axiom of choice and have no counterpart in the choiceless setting in general. This was studied in some detail, in the context of pcf theory, in

MR2078366 (2005k:03105). Cummings, James; Foreman, Matthew; Magidor, Menachem. Canonical structure in the universe of set theory. I. Ann. Pure Appl. Logic 129 (2004), no. 1-3, 211–243.

From the introduction: "Of particular interest are invariants which are canonical, in the sense that the Axiom of Choice is needed to show that they exist, but once shown to exist they are independent of the choices made. For example the uncountable regular cardinals are canonical in this sense."
The examples studied in the paper have to do with the combinatorics at the successor of a singular cardinal $\mu$. The simplest kind of objects considered in this setting were introduced by Shelah: these are certain nice collections of points in $\mu^+$, that he dubbed good and approachable. These collections are unique modulo the nonstationary ideal.

A: Thankyou for your comment @Mauro ALLEGRANZA
I totally got your point.
Let $\varphi$ be a formula such that $\text{ZF}\vdash \exists_{unique} x\varphi(x)$
Then $\text{ZF}\not\vdash\exists x(\varphi(x)\wedge\text{AC})$ while $\text{ZFC}\vdash \exists_{unique} x(\varphi(x)\wedge \text{AC})$

A: Let $\varphi(x)$ say: (AC and $x=\varnothing$) or ($\lnot$AC and $x\neq x$).
ZFC proves the existence of a unique $x$ satisfying $\varphi(x)$, namely $\varnothing$.
ZF does not prove the existence of an $x$ satifying $\varphi(x)$. If it did, it would prove (AC and $x=\varnothing$) and hence prove AC, but AC is independent of ZF.
Edit: Oops, the second disjunct is not necessary here. (AC and $x=\varnothing$) works fine, as shown in Yuz's answer.

A: While these formal statements are made, here are some real life examples,
"The cardinality of a Hamel basis of $\Bbb R$ over $\Bbb Q$", is a unique and well-defined object once some Hamel basis exists (we can prove that a Hamel basis must always have the cardinality of the continuum). Nevertheless, it is consistent with $\sf ZF$ that no such basis exists.
Similarly we can talk about "the cardinal of a free ultrafilter on $\omega$".
In general, any type of object whose cardinality in $\sf ZFC$ is unique (indeed the above cases are even better: the uniqueness of cardinality follows from $\sf ZF+$"The object exists") but $\sf AC$ is necessary for the existence of the objects, is a good target.
