ABOUT THIS BOOK | AUTHOR BIOGRAPHY | REVIEWS | TOC | REQUEST ACCESSIBLE FILE
The charismatic Alexander the Great of Macedon (356–323 B.C.E.) was one of the most successful military commanders in history, conquering Asia Minor, Egypt, Persia, central Asia, and the lands beyond as far as Pakistan and India. Alexander has been, over the course of two millennia since his death at the age of thirty-two, the central figure in histories, legends, songs, novels, biographies, and, most recently, films. In 2004 director Oliver Stone's epic film Alexander generated a renewed interest in Alexander the Great and his companions, surroundings, and accomplishments, but the critical response to the film offers a fascinating lesson in the contentious dialogue between historiography and modern entertainment.
This volume brings together an intriguing mix of leading scholars in Macedonian and Greek history, Persian culture, film studies, classical literature, and archaeology—including some who were advisors for the film—and includes an afterword by Oliver Stone discussing the challenges he faced in putting Alexander's life on the big screen. The contributors scrutinize Stone's project from its inception and design to its production and reception, considering such questions as: Can a film about Alexander (and similar figures from history) be both entertaining and historically sound? How do the goals of screenwriters and directors differ from those of historians? How do Alexander's personal relationships—with his mother Olympias, his wife Roxane, his lover Hephaistion, and others—affect modern perceptions of Alexander? Several of the contributors also explore reasons behind the film's tepid response at the box office and subsequent controversies.
Paul Cartledge is the A.G. Leventis Professor of Greek culture in the Faculty of Classics, Cambridge University, and the Hellenic Parliament Global Distinguished Professor at New York University. He is author, coauthor, editor, or coeditor of more than twenty books, including Alexander the Great: The Hunt for a New Past. Fiona Rose Greenland earned a doctorate in classical archaeology as a Rhodes Scholar at the University of Oxford, where she subsequently served as lecturer. She was hired by Oliver Stone in 2003 to provide expertise on Greek art and architecture for Alexander. She is currently pursuing a doctorate in sociology at the University of Michigan.
"A very successful contribution to the burgeoning subsector of classical scholarship dealing with the modern cinematic treatment of the classics."—James S. Romm, editor of Alexander the Great: Selections from Diodorus, Plutarch, Quintus Curtius, and Arrian
"Responses to Oliver Stone's Alexander achieves its mission of raising important questions about Alexander's life and career as triggered by Stone's film. The editors are to be commended for choosing a variety of scholars representing a variety of disciplines and positions, and certainly for securing an Afterword that reveals Stone's continuing fascination and intellectual engagement with the subject. As a paperback original, this book is affordable enough for course usage and would make fine student reading."—Sheramy D. Bundrick, Bryn Mawr Classical Review

Sharon introduced her first guest, Jen Ambrose, owner of the Herb Shop in Grants Pass, Oregon. Jen is also an organic farmer and natural healing educator.
In response to Sharon's question, Jen explained that she became interested in natural healing because of health problems beginning when she was six. She suffered from chronic bronchitis, digestive problems and petit mal seizures. Then, as an adult, she learned about homeopathic medicine and especially the benefits of echinacea. She eventually stopped all her medications and undertook to heal herself through nutrition and natural supplements.
Sharon observed that many diseases and disorders are caused by not drinking enough water and by chronic allergies. She also pointed out that since everyone is different, we must all figure out what our specific personal needs are. We could require either much more or much less of a nutrient than another person and we each have our own personal blueprint.
Jen found health through natural supplements, massage therapy, hydrotherapy, soaking and exercise. However, she developed severe dermatitis in the process, possibly because of the amount of toxins that were being expelled through her skin. Eventually, she resolved the problem, mainly through burdock root, and has been healthy for many years.
She observed that when you've been taking a supplement for a long time and then all of sudden forget about it, it could be your body telling you to back off.
Jen and Sharon talked a little about sugar cravings. It was suggested that this could actually be a craving for other things but that your craving system is not usually that specific. Or it could be a craving caused by addiction.
Sharon asked about viral disease mitigation and Jen suggested elderberry, plus several homeopathic remedies to improve the immune system. They agreed that whenever a health crisis is encountered like the current swine flu, you need to check your body's immune system and your personal habits such as sleep, water intake, stress and "personal environmental lifestyle." Avoiding negative energy also helps.
Sharon asked about wild survival foods and Jen specifically mentioning numerous common weeds such as St. John's wort, bachelor button, balsamroot and Oregongrape root. In her own garden, Jen grows collard, mustard greens, leeks, garlic, tomatoes and peppers.
There was some discussion of edible flowers. Jen mentioned Johnny jump-ups, violets and rose petals but cautioned listeners to make sure flowers haven't been exposed to pesticides. For a list of edible flowers, go to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edible_flowers.
Jen's final words were that we all have weaknesses but that every weakness is an opportunity to know yourself better and obtain wisdom and healing. Jen's company website is www.bulkherbshop.com.


Life Education Victoria CEO, Michelle Wood, shares her thoughts about how we can all develop healthier eating habits for healthier and longer lives. Alternatively, parents who only encouraged healthy eating but led an unhealthy eating life style, had kids who consumed low intakes of fruits and vegetables. Genetics Lesson – This is an optional but extremely worthwhile lesson for the Human Anatomy Unit Study. As soon as your HSC is eating much more healthier foods, make a deal to eat at least a single healthy food per day, such as one fruit or 1 vegetable.
Concentrate your families consuming habits about wholesome foods, but it's OK to enable them to have a treat just about every now and then. Assistance your young children realize healthful consuming by teaching them about food—where it comes from, how it grows, what nutrients it consists of, and how many calories (how substantially power) it has.
It won't be extended ahead of your chicken-nugget-loving youngster will take into consideration consuming some heart-healthy fish alternatively! Due to the fact nutritious consuming habits are as essential for parents as it for the children, the commitment to consuming healthier will be uncomplicated.
When children see what is going on in the kitchen, they can make a total dialogue with their invisible buddy on how to fry french fries or make a salad. Operate on managing your personal strain about it, and appear forward to the occasions where your toddler will develop into an adult with healthy eating habits. Whilst supplements can have advantages, they may well not be safe or required for each child. Your child desires compact regular healthful snacks for energy major-ups, but if there are too lots of snacks or they're also massive, they can fill him up prior to a main meal.
Kids like selections at snack time also, so look at packing an insulated lunch bag full of very good snacks so they can make their personal wise options (and you can keep away from hearing I don't want THAT!"). Dr. Fisher and her researchers made some fascinating discoveries surrounding the consuming habits of kids. Vegetables and fruits should really be the major fare of babies who must consume meals from this group in 3 to 5 servings. Though it is important to raise awareness of fantastic consuming habits, informed choice making when it comes to meals and physical exercise, the goal ought to extend to teaching children how to adopt a permanent healthful life style.

MMA Study Shows the Obvious but Proves Nothing
By Matthew Warburton on March 29, 2014 3 Comments
Mixed martial arts or MMA as it is known, is a competitive form of fighting involving the use of many techniques, grapples, strikes, and locks. A recent study has suggested that competitive mixed martial arts could lead to frequent dangerous brain trauma, even more than in boxing. Although the MMA study shows some obvious results in one respect, there is nothing that proves the link between the two.
The new study, published in the American Journal of Sports Medicine examined videos and data from 844 championship mixed martial arts match-ups between the years of 2006 to 2012. The study showed that 13 percent ended in a knockout, with a further 21 percent ending in technical knockouts.
Technical knockouts usually occur when the referee concludes that too much damage may have been incurred, such as when a fighter is punched repeatedly in the head, sometimes up to 20 times in the last 30 seconds of the match.
The conclusion was drawn that the blows received to the head cannot be good for the health of the fighters. The researchers also mentioned data from other studies, which concluded that mixed martial arts was more dangerous than hockey and football.
Mixed martial arts incorporates elements of boxing, wrestling, kickboxing, and martial arts such as jui-jitsu, making it a pretty mean sport. Professional practitioners may be experts in one or more field, and are likely to be equipped with a variety of techniques aimed at ground-and-pounding opponents, knocking them out, or forcing them into submission by applying an arm or leg lock that could potentially break, or dislocate a bone. It is fair to say the nature of the sport is fairly dangerous. In this respect the recent MMA study only shows the obvious, but proves nothing that could lead to a change in policy.
The change in policy is perhaps the motivation to study the sport in the first place, and many believe MMA should be regulated. That is not to say the sport should be banned, or made illegal, and in its favor the violence is always at the consent of the individuals who are fighting. The study doesn't really add any major insights into what policy should be changed, and why. It does not give measurable brain damage statistics, or evidence from brain scans. It simply observers that the MMA fighters take some blows in the ring, and that such blows are unlikely to do their health any favors.
Another observational study, carried out in 2006, and also published in the American Journal of Sports Medicine noted that MMA was not as likely to produce brain injury as boxing. The study measured rates of injury in 171 fights and found them to be similar to that of other combat striking. In complete contradiction to the recent study they recorded KO's to be lower than in boxing. The study also highlighted the fact that regulations within MMA have changed in recent years, with more concern for the health of the fighters.
Conflicting opinion such as what is shown in the studies tends to highlight the fact that the body of research is too inadequate to draw any real conclusions. The mystery still stands as to whether mixed martial arts is indeed more damaging than boxing, or more likely to cause brain trauma.
MMA fighters, fans, and officials from UFC have often defended the sport claiming that there is less risk of brain damage because attacks are spread around the body, and also involve a mixture grapples and locks. Boxers tend to take dull repetitive blows to the head throughout the match. MMA does not have a history of recorded brain trauma, or any recorded fatalities, although with the sport now gaining momentum among young amateurs, it may be too early to tell.
Understanding how to regulate the sport is however important. With young amateur fighters entering the ring, the risks need to be made clear so that education and restrictions can be correctly imposed. The only state which has made mixed martial arts competitions illegal is New York. Other states are mostly interested in the safe regulation of MMA.
What can be said is that both boxing, and MMA, have both shown to cause injury, and to be damaging to health; they both involve combat with another highly trained professional, and an exchange of trained aggression. The recent MMA study, like many of its predecessors, shows the obvious fact that fighters are getting hit in the face a lot, and suggests nothing that proves the extent of long term damage. More research, with more measurable methodology, may be required in order to better understand how to regulate both MMA and boxing.

MMA gloves DO have padding. Goes to show how much about the sport the last two commentators know.
Gary Timmons March 29, 2014 at 1:58 pm
I t is common sence just as in boxing which I did for 10 years and in the service. The brain can only absorb so much look at ken shamrock he allways has thinking problems,and headaches. How could you not come to the conclusion that this sport over time more permanent head injuries.look at Silva his face looks like so monster and has taken a 1,000 shots to the head . Now they are looking closely and documenting injuries,.i have to agree
That padded gloves ,need to be used .it is a good sport ,Dana white knows the truth
But money is bottom line.if the fighters only knew what is in store for them with memory,migraine headaches and Parkinson's by age 50 to many of the lesser fighters
The punching bags .sports medicine already is building their case .i am a paramedic and doctors agree it us a big problem.
Paul Lett March 29, 2014 at 1:44 pm
The evidence is convulsive,you have to be an idiot to think other wise.i have played football and concussions are common even with a helmet ,MMA , no padding ,even in boxing 10 oz gloves,kick to the head,elbows,pounded into submission.it is just a matter of time before MMA is banned unless you wear headgear,or -xt leadt 8 oz gloves and that includes the foot.the AMA already want it banned Dana white better pad his pockets while he still has the opportunity !! Personally I think it is entertaining,but sometimes they should stop bouts sooner when too one sided.

Beauty influencers have captivated large audiences and diversified across a variety of platforms to connect with their followers.
Beauty influencers are launching their own skincare and makeup brands left and right, and continue to partner with their favorite brands to highlight the best products on the market.
Our favorite beauty influencers love to celebrate diversity and individuality via their own brands, podcasts, and social media feeds.
As a Kurdish-American beauty and lifestyle influencer, Sazan Hendrix creatively inspires and passionately leads her followers to live happy and fulfilled lives, offering makeup and hair, fashion, and lifestyle tips and tricks. She is known for her voluminous, dreamy hair, and for perfecting the natural, effortless makeup look. She also has a podcast with her husband titled "The Good Life with Stevie and Sazan" that aims to inspire, captivate, and make an impact on its listeners. (The adorable pictures on her Instagram of her babies are just a bonus!)
Filed under the list of "the most iconic girl bosses to date," Anna X Sitar is not only a genius (she recently graduated with a degree in mechanical engineering before pursuing her masters in film and television production) but a true internet sweetheart and a stunning lifestyle and beauty influencer. She has partnered with brands including Olaplex, Ipsy, Rare Beauty, and Curology on both Instagram and Tik Tok, and is always sharing videos of her "getting ready routines" with her followers. It is safe to say I want to be her best friend and you probably will too.
More commonly known as just "Skincare by Hyram," skincare specialist Hyram Yarbro and his YouTube turned Tik Tok account has captivated his audience with his clean and honest skincare reviews. He continues to educate his followers on the meanings and impacts of different skincare product ingredients and highlights ideal skincare rituals for a variety of skin moods.
And the moment we were all waiting for… in June 2021, Hyram released his own gentle, non-irritating product line, Selfless by Hyram. Check out their website for Hyram's ideal skincare ritual and how to incorporate his products at selflessbyhyram.com.
Podcast host, entrepreneur, mom, and self-proclaimed lover of all things beauty, style, and food, Courtney Shields is a co-founder and CCO of Desert Island Beauty Status (DIBS Beauty). Courtney diligently creates gift guides, style guides, easy recipes, and highlights her favorite skincare products (including Tula and Skincueticals!) Her aesthetically pleasing Instagram feed and dreamy Austin, Texas lifestyle are truly addicting.
Nikkie de Jager, commonly known by her screen name Nikkie Tutorials, is a Dutch makeup artist and beauty Youtuber that has been nominated by both Forbes and Teen Choice Awards for a variety of beauty influencer awards. After gaining popularity from her "Power of Makeup" video in 2015, Nikkie has yet to fail in impressing her audience with her artistic makeup talents and humorous, engaging videos.
After three years of behind-the-scenes work, Nikkie is finally releasing her own skincare brand Nimya by NikkieTutorials that includes serums, creams, and a setting spray to keep your skin looking fresh! (I am dying to get my hands on this one!)
You may know her from her distinct Boston accent, her candid tips and tricks, or her exploration of quirky makeup products on Tik Tok, but regardless, Mikayla has a knack for bringing her authenticity and joy to everyone she reaches. Since joining Tik Tok in March 2020 (the true prime time to join Tik Tok), Mikayla has gathered well over 5 million followers and over 28 million views. She attributes her success to her refreshing perspective on life and her unscripted videos.
Mikayla has partnered with Glamlite to produce a makeup collection with stunning colors and 5-star reviews across the board. (Unfortunately, they are sold out across the board as well.)
Since starting YouTube in 2010, Jaclyn Hill has not only perfected her statement smokey-eye look, but partnered with Morphe to create an iconic eyeshadow palette (in addition to creating an also iconic highlighter with BECCA cosmetics.) Since partnering with such large brands, Jaclyn decided to start one of her own. Her line, titled Jaclyn Cosmetics, highlights 100% cruelty-free makeup that includes eye products, lip products, and everything in between. No doubt, Jaclyn should be nominated for a "queen of all beauty influencers" award.
Living the most aesthetically pleasing life in Arizona with her adorable kids, her golden retriever, and her husband, Amber Fillerup Clark is both entrepreneur and mom goals as she manages both of her businesses, Barefoot Blonde hair extensions, and Dae Hair on top of running her beautiful Instagram page and brand partnerships. Dae was launched at the beginning of 2020 and is now found in Sephora stores everywhere. If you have the opportunity to get your hands on these products, you will not be disappointed.
Another original YouTube makeup artist icon, Patrick Starrr is easily identifiable as one of the first "men in makeup." Intentional, dedicated, and constantly inspiring and empowering his audience, Patrick has partnered with a wide variety of makeup and beauty brands, including NYX and Benefit Cosmetics, as well as interviewing and transforming big-time celebrities like Kim Kardashian West and Katy Perry.
In 2020, Starrr launched his own makeup brand ONE/SIZE, which focuses on "driving kindness and individuality through meaningful connections, profound storytelling, and innovative artistry." You can find it at Sephoras everywhere or online.
Honestly, it's Desi's world, and we're all just living in it. She's a girl-boss Mexican-American content creator, beauty influencer, and celebrity makeup artist that has spent the last 12 years building up almost 8 million followers across her Instagram and YouTube.

Entering the hallowed kitchens of Hartnett Holder & Co at Lime Wood Hotel and Spa, there's plenty of laughter, and the atmosphere behind the swing doors is buzzing as the kitchen brigade gather to be briefed on tonight's busy service.
Standing alongside one of Lime Wood's resident chefs, Angela Hartnett, is her friend and high flying fellow chef, Tom Kerridge, who is the first in a series of Guest Chef pop ups and cookery school events over the coming months.
The kitchen is noticeably full of banter and excitement as Tom, a much-loved chef with great magnetism, a sense of fun and camaraderie addresses the team.
Meeting the man himself, it's not hard to see why Tom garners such high opinions from his peers. A chef for 25 years, his is a career that has gone from strength to strength. From his innovative pub-style fine dining at The Hand and Flowers and second venture, The Coach, just down the road in Marlow, Buckinghamshire, to a veritable feast of cookbooks and an ever growing television career with programmes of his own. More recently we've seen Tom on our screens presenting on BBC's Food Detectives and helping to showcase industry talent with programmes like the BBC series Great British Bake Off Crème de la Crème.
It may be good fun but Tom has an incredible work ethic and certainly isn't afraid to get his hands dirty. It's this philosophy and his down to earth, chatty nature that resonates so well with the public, and has seen Tom achieve status as a top chef, bestselling author and popular TV personality. A household name and 'the guy who owns the pub' (albeit with two Michelin stars), he's the sort of landlord you'd imagine sitting down with on a Friday night enjoying a pint at the bar.
Tom's culinary style celebrates unpretentious, bold cooking which reflects the seasons and brings the best of what we as a country have to offer to the table. A sentiment he is very keen to share with others.
Perhaps that's why we are so enchanted with this charismatic West Country boy? He makes it seem so easy and achievable. Sharing his knowledge of the British food scene, Tom's television work has seen him becoming more of the middle man or 'the oil between all the cogs' as he suggests, helping to simplify and highlight some of the more complex culinary processes or lesser known parts of the industry.
A huge supporter of British grown food, Tom's passion and love of home-grown produce was the driving force, more recently, behind his backing of a National Farmers Union initiative to help put British food and farming at the forefront of the political and public agenda.
It's no wonder Tom's top billing for the new Guest Pop Ups and Cookery school events at Lime Wood, this is a chef who knows what it's all about – celebrating our county's wonderful produce.
• QUIZ: How well do you know Mary Berry? - Millions tune in to see the Queen of Baking share her culinary wisdom each week on The Great British Bake Off – but how much do you really know about judge and food writer Mary Berry?

Les chenets de l'Algarde sont deux groupes de bronze représentant « Jupiter tenant son foudre, assis sur un aigle posé sur le globe terrestre soutenu par trois Titans » et « Junon portée par les vents ». Les bronzes initiaux sont l'œuvre du sculpteur italien Alessandro Algardi, dit l'Alguarde (1595 ou 1598-1654) et devaient servir de chenets pour le roi d'Espagne.

Plusieurs fontes furent réalisées au cours du  pour différentes cours royales.

Ils sont destinés au roi Philippe IV d'Espagne. La mythologie étant à la mode au , le sculpteur italien prévoit de réaliser Jupiter foudroyant les Titans pour symboliser le feu, Junon portée par les vents pour l'air, Neptune pour l'eau et Cybèle pour la terre. Il meurt en n'ayant achevé que les deux premiers et ce sont ses élèves qui réaliseront les deux derniers. Le roi d'Espagne ne s'en servit pas de chenets mais d'éléments décoratifs pour fontaine dans le jardin du palais royal d'Aranjuez. Leur notoriété fit que plusieurs fontes furent réalisées au cours des . On connaît ainsi une douzaine de bronzes des deux premiers groupes, Jupiter et Junon.

Le bronze de Louis XIV
Les groupes de Jupiter et Junon furent réalisés pour la décoration du château de Versailles et livré en 1684.  Louis XIV les fit installer dans des niches du salon Ovale. Ces bronzes sont considérés comme ayant été fondus en France à cause de la finesse de la chevelure, de l'aspect lisse et de la couleur jaune du métal.
Louis XV s'en sépare, les offrant au marquis de Marigny, directeur des Bâtiments du roi qui les installe au château de Ménars. Sous la Révolution, en 1795, après la mort du marquis, ils viennent compléter les collections du Muséum puis, sous Bonaparte, rejoigne le château de Saint-Cloud où ils sont transformés pour servir de support à une pendule. Puis les deux groupes sont transférés au palais des Tuileries. Ils reçurent une dorure par Christofle en 1845.

Leur hauteur est de  pour une base de 0,60 sur . Le groupe de Jupiter est aujourd'hui exposé au Louvre. On ignore ce qu'il est advenu du groupe de Junon.

Le Grand Dauphin aura également deux groupes similaires installés d'abord au château de Choisy puis en 1695 au château de Meudon.

Hotel de Paris Museum collects, preserves and shares history and culture associated with Louis Dupuy's Hotel de Paris, and serves as a catalyst for heritage tourism.
The site's period of significance is 1875-1900; however, the museum also interprets the contributions of later owners, including Sophie Gally (1900-1901), Angeline Pouget Lefebvre and Rosa Pouget (1901-1903), the Burkholder family (1903-1954) and The National Society of The Colonial Dames of America in the State of Colorado (1954-present).
The National Society of The Colonial Dames of America in the State of Colorado (NSCDA in CO) was founded in 1896 and is devoted to patriotic service through education and participation in various historical activities. The NSCDA in CO is committed to providing thoroughly researched and historically accurate information to the public. A primary membership focus is to maintain, preserve, and operate for the benefit of the public the Hotel de Paris Museum in Georgetown, Colorado.
Hotel de Paris Museum educates school groups and the general public about the site's importance to the economic and social life of the Georgetown mining community, the history of the Georgetown-Silver Plume National Historic Landmark District, as well as the State of Colorado and the United States. New educational initiatives are focusing on the achievements of the French and Chinese immigrants who created and ran the hotel, as well as the women who have preserved it.
The object of The National Society of The Colonial Dames of America (NSCDA) is to collect and preserve manuscripts, traditions, relics of historical interest and value, and mementos of bygone days; to preserve and restore buildings connected with the early history of our country; to diffuse helpful and intelligent information concerning the past; to create a popular interest in colonial history; to stimulate a spirit of true patriotism and a genuine love of country; and to impress upon the young the sacred obligation of honoring the memory of those heroic ancestors whose ability, valor, sufferings, and achievements are beyond all praise.
A primary purpose of the organization is the dissemination of American history. A fundamental objective is the identification, preservation, and maintenance of properties of diverse but significant history throughout the nation, and the education of the public as to their importance.
The NSCDA, headquartered at Dumbarton House on Q Street in Washington, DC, was founded in 1891 as a patriotic and genealogical organization. The breadth of preservation work includes restoring buildings, researching and collecting artifacts and manuscripts, and conducting archaeological digs. The NSCDA owns more than 80 significant museum houses, buildings, and rooms that have been managed carefully to authentically represent the individual historic period. During the Spanish-American War and World War I, the NSCDA outfitted parts of hospital ships and during World War II "adopted" the USO center in Ketchikan, Alaska by raising money to maintain it for four and a half years (the center was used by some 5 million people). In addition, the NSCDA is assisting the Women's Memorial Foundation by recording the services of women veterans for their archives in the Memorial at Arlington National Cemetery.
The vision of The National Society of Colonial Dames in the State of Colorado, the owners of the Museum since 1954, is one of teaching American and International audiences about this classic American emigre entrepreneurial success story. As such the Hotel de Paris Museum is committed to:
-	Upholding the Public Trust,
-	Serving the widest possible audience,
-	Maintaining its collections in accordance with professional standards of care and,
-	Presenting interpretations founded on scholarship that also remains respectful of pluralistic values.
The National Society of The Colonial Dames of America in the State of Colorado are women descended in their own right from an ancestor who was residing in one of the thirteen original colonies prior to 1750 and contributed in a worthy way to the community or Colonies in that period before the Declaration of Independence in 1776.
Hotel de Paris Museum, a landmark building and direct link to Georgetown's days as an epicenter of Colorado's silver mining boom, is a Site of the National Trust for Historic Preservation. Hotel de Paris Museum is part of the Trust's diverse portfolio of properties that includes Philip Johnson's Glass House in New Canaan, Connecticut, Acoma Sky City in Acoma, New Mexico, and President Lincoln's Cottage in Washington, D.C.
Hotel de Paris Museum is owned and operated by The National Society of The Colonial Dames of America in the State of Colorado. By entering into a cooperative agreement with the National Trust for Historic Preservation, the Colonial Dames benefit from the National Trust's expertise in a range of areas, from preservation to conservation to interpretation. The National Trust collaborates with Hotel de Paris Museum to enhance visitor experiences at the site, including increasing the hours during which the site is open for tours.
The area around Georgetown was Colorado's most important source of silver in the mid-to-late 19th century-at one point attracting so many residents that it became one of the most populous cities in the state. Hotel de Paris Museum, listed on the National Register of Historic Places, was originally constructed in 1875 by French immigrant Adolphe Francois Gerard, who called himself Louis Dupuy. He subsequently enlarged the original structure to its current size in 1889; most improvements to the building were completed by 1893. The building was operated as a hotel, boarding house, restaurant, and showroom for traveling salesmen. In 1954, The National Society of The Colonial Dames of America in the State of Colorado acquired the site, eventually restoring it to its original 1890s appearance and transforming it into its present incarnation as a museum. The excellent condition of the building-and the presence of approximately 90% of the original furnishings--including Dupuy's library and art--make this site unique for educational opportunities.
TRIPADVISOR REVIEWER HIGHLIGHTS
The Executive Director led our tour. His presentation is detailed and creates a full picture of the lives of the people who owned, lived in and ran the hotel. He discusses the individuals in an honest and realistic way, not sensationalizing them or romanticizing the times they lived in. Everyone in our group, 19 to 60 years of age, enjoyed the experience. -Familytraveler5280
The tour was fantastic. All original furniture. Definitely worth the 7 dollar fee. The guide was very knowledgeable. Louis was was an interesting man. Loved it! -Mntfan5
I have visited Georgetown many times, this was our first time visiting the museum. Amazing tour guide, he really made it feel like we would turn the corner and run into Mr. Dupuy. Comparing the furnishings to actual pictures of the time verified the authenticity and placement of the furnishings. Beautifully kept, and such an entertaining story, a terrific experience. Our guests from out of town could not stop talking about it, definitely a high point of their visit. The estimated time for the tour was 45 minutes, we actually spent over an hour because the guide was so wonderfully patient with answering our many questions - I would have stayed even longer if I could have! -Nancy H
Great tour - went there not knowing what to expect. The guide knew the subject incredibly well - well spoken and eager to answer questions. 90% of the furnishings were from the original hotel - very interesting story - lovely tour -- they do offer a AAA discount as well -- tours start on the hour and take approximately 50 mins -- very interesting - if you have the hour it is well worth it. -James G
We so enjoyed the tour here, not just because so much has been restored to it's original state but because we felt we really got to know the people involved in the operation of the hotel in it's heyday. Having the register under glass open to the same dates over 100 years prior was a lovely special touch and fascinating in it's own right. -Michelle A
We visited the museum and were truly amazed in the manor in which the hotel and its history have been preserved! Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable and quite proud to help us understand the history. Well worth the hour invested. Very reasonable admission/donation cost. -Steve4909
Excellent tour. Check out as you stay in local bnb. Kevin does fantastic job in detail and story! Worth the stop! -A TripAdvisor Member
We visited the Hotel de Paris in historic downtown Georgetown and had a guided tour with the Curator. It is a very old hotel with most of its original furnishings from the 1800s. It was owned by a mysterious Frenchman with several names including Louis Dupuy. It was a real treat to see this historic building! -Bourlingueur60

Grade 12 student Jaylene Kuo from Courtenay asked her local school district for a simple, fair dress code. File photo/Comox Valley Record
'Gender-specific' items removed from B.C. district's dress codes
School District 71 responded to student asking for neutral codes at all local schools
Mike Chouinard
Dec. 16, 2019 12:05 p.m.
All Comox Valley public schools have now addressed their dress codes, says district assistant superintendent Geoff Manning.
He provided a brief update to school trustees at a board of education meeting in late November, saying all of the schools have changed language to make codes fair.
"Dress code, as you know, it's been in the news nationally. It's been in the news locally," he said. "They've removed any language that refers to gender-specific clothing items. They've also removed the term 'distracting.'"
Rather than a district-wide policy, local schools have set out codes for their own school communities. Manning added many schools are now simply making reference for students to be respectful to themselves and others, and some are not even mentioning dress codes specifically.
RELATED STORY: Courtenay student lobbies school board for dress code consistency
Isfeld student Jaylene Kuo had first contacted the district in June after she noticed wording in her brother's school's dress code focusing heavily on female students, telling the Comox Valley Record it sent a message they should be ashamed of themselves and their bodies. She had already influenced her own secondary school to simplify its code prior to contacting the board for the October meeting.
"If you saw that local article," Manning said, "she actually gave kudos to Isfeld for changing their dress code, and she was quite happy with the movement forward on that."

We have spoken about Orvieto in this BLOG. It is one of our most favorite hillside towns in Italy. San Gimignano being another. I reblogged this since it captures a story about entering Orvieto on the funicular and experiencing the massiveness of the Duomo.
Our next stop was Orvieto and I must admit, I was sad to leave Venice. I'll come back one day, my love!
The Oriveto Duomo is one the best examples of Italian Gothic architecture. During Professore Perricone's lecture, he read an excerpt from Dante's Inferno in Italian! It was lovely!
I call this my Orvieto Jump! I am terribly afraid of heights so after walking down a rickety wooden ramp attached to the side of a hill, I was overjoyed that I made it alive! Woohoo!


One among by far the most frequent electrical wiring questions is regarding how to wire a change. Even though making use of switches in your house is quite effortless, wiring one particular may not be that uncomplicated for everyone. An ON-OFF switch is in fact quite simple to wire. You will find several types of switches, but for this example, let's say you might be putting in a single-pole toggle switch, an exceptionally prevalent switch (and the easiest).
You will discover a few colours of wires within a regular single-pole toggle switch: black, white, and green. Splice the black wire in two and hook up them on the terminal screws - a person on major as well as other within the bottom screw in the swap. The white wire serves as being a supply of uninterrupted electricity and it is ordinarily connected to some light-weight colored terminal screw (e.g., silver). Join the inexperienced wire for the ground screw of one's change.
These actions would normally be enough to generate a standard change perform and not using a trouble. Nonetheless, in the event you are certainly not self-assured that you can execute the job appropriately and safely and securely you far better allow the pros do it instead. Soon after all, there is a motive why this activity is one of the most popular electrical wiring questions questioned by the majority of people.
For some purpose, ways to wire a ceiling fan is usually considered one of quite possibly the most popular electrical wiring issues. To simplify this job, you should use just one change for the single ceiling fan. To wire the enthusiast, it truly is just a subject of connecting the black wire with the ceiling fan to your black wire in the change. If there is a light, the blue wire ought to be connected towards the black wire from the swap in addition.
You will discover causes why these are generally essentially the most usually requested electrical wiring concerns. 1, lots of feel it really is easy to try and do, and two, these are generally the frequent electrical jobs in the home. But then you must not set your basic safety at risk within your aim to save cash. The stakes could even be a lot better for those who make an effort to lower your expenses and do an electrical wiring task without the need of sufficient information or expertise.

981 F. 2d 470 - United States v. Franco
981 F2d 470 United States v. Franco
981 F.2d 470
UNITED STATES of America, Plaintiff-Appellee,
Arnold Ira FRANCO, Defendant-Appellant.
United States Court of Appeals,
Tenth Circuit.
James Tierney, Asst. U.S. Atty. (Don J. Svet, U.S. Atty., Tara C. Neda, Asst. U.S. Atty., with him on the brief), Albuquerque, NM, for plaintiff-appellee.
Kenneth R. Brown, Salt Lake City, UT, for defendant-appellant.
Before BRORBY, Circuit Judge, McWILLIAMS, Senior Circuit Judge, and KELLY, Circuit Judge.
BRORBY, Circuit Judge.
Arnold Ira Franco was convicted of three charges: 1) distribution of less than 500 grams of cocaine in violation of 21 U.S.C. §§ 841(a)(1) and 841(b)(1)(C); 2) unlawful carrying of a firearm during and in relation to a drug trafficking crime in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 924(c)(1); and 3) possession of a firearm by a felon in violation of 18 U.S.C. §§ 922(g)(1) and 924(a). This is an appeal of only the later two convictions which involve a firearm. Mr. Franco claims the firearm was obtained through an illegal search. The United States contends the firearm was obtained by a legal warrantless search incident to the arrest of Mr. Franco. We agree with the United States and affirm.
Mr. Franco attempted to purchase a handgun from a Dr. Egelman, who operated a business called "Sporting Chance," that sold firearms. Dr. Egelman believed the attempted purchase was an illegal "straw purchase" and refused to sell the firearm. He subsequently notified an agent of the Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms Department of the attempted purchase, and the agent initiated an investigation.
By prior arrangement between Dr. Egelman and the agent, Dr. Egelman introduced the agent (acting in an undercover capacity) to Mr. Franco. In a series of meetings, Mr. Franco and the agent arranged that the agent would provide to Mr. Franco a silenced pistol in exchange for cocaine that Mr. Franco would obtain and deliver to the agent.
Mr. Franco met with the agent in a parking lot. The agent arrived in an undercover Government truck, and Mr. Franco arrived in his vehicle. Mr. Franco parked his vehicle in close proximity to the agent's and entered the agent's truck. In a taped conversation, Mr. Franco informed the agent that he was "very well covered."
Mr. Franco then exited the agent's truck, opened the driver's door of his vehicle, leaned down into the driver's side of the passenger compartment, and then returned to the agent's truck. Mr. Franco handed the agent a plastic bag containing cocaine. After the cocaine was delivered, an unidentified van drove into the parking lot. The van apparently frightened Mr. Franco, and he exited the agent's truck and sat in his vehicle. After the van exited the parking lot, Mr. Franco returned to the agent's truck and the agent gave Mr. Franco a pistol in exchange for the cocaine. The agent gave a verbal arrest signal, and Mr. Franco was arrested.
Mr. Franco's vehicle was subsequently searched, and a .22 magnum revolver was found under the floor mat on the driver's side of the passenger compartment. Mr. Franco moved to suppress the gun. The trial court did not conduct an evidentiary hearing and denied the motion on the basis of the contents of the motion and the response.
In this appeal we accept the trial court's findings of facts unless they are clearly erroneous, United States v. Butler, 904 F.2d 1482, 1484 (10th Cir.1990), and we consider the evidence in the light most favorable to the Government. United States v. McAlpine, 919 F.2d 1461, 1463 (10th Cir.1990). Whether or not the search was reasonable under the Fourth Amendment is a conclusion of law we review de novo. Butler, 904 F.2d at 1484.
Mr. Franco contends the location of the search, his vehicle, was remote from the location of the arrest, the Government truck, and that therefore the search was not legally "incident to the arrest" within the meaning of that exception to the warrant requirement of the Fourth Amendment.
The Fourth Amendment prohibits "unreasonable searches and seizures." It does not, of course, "proscribe all state-initiated searches and seizures; it merely proscribes those which are unreasonable." Florida v. Jimeno, --- U.S. ----, ----, 111 S.Ct. 1801, 1803, 114 L.Ed.2d 297 (1991). To determine whether a search is reasonable a court balances Fourth Amendment and other legitimate governmental interests, such as protection of law enforcement officers. See e.g., Maryland v. Buie, 494 U.S. 325, 331, 110 S.Ct. 1093, 1096, 108 L.Ed.2d 276 (1990); Michigan v. Long, 463 U.S. 1032, 1049-50, 103 S.Ct. 3469, 3480-81, 77 L.Ed.2d 1201 (1983). A search is usually per se unreasonable unless it is conducted pursuant to a warrant. See Griffin v. Wisconsin, 483 U.S. 868, 873, 107 S.Ct. 3164, 3168, 97 L.Ed.2d 709 (1987); Coolidge v. New Hampshire, 403 U.S. 443, 474, 91 S.Ct. 2022, 2042, 29 L.Ed.2d 564 (1971); Katz v. United States, 389 U.S. 347, 357, 88 S.Ct. 507, 514, 19 L.Ed.2d 576 (1967). Warrantless searches, however, may be reasonable pursuant "to a few specifically established and well-delineated exceptions," Katz, 389 U.S. at 357, 88 S.Ct. at 514, such as when the search is consented to, Jimeno, --- U.S. at ----, 111 S.Ct. at 1803, when " 'special needs, beyond the normal need for law enforcement, make the warrant and probable-cause requirement impracticable,' " Griffin, 483 U.S. at 873, 107 S.Ct. at 3168 (quoting New Jersey v. T.L.O., 469 U.S. 325, 351, 105 S.Ct. 733, 748, 83 L.Ed.2d 720 (1985) (Blackmun, J. concurring)), or when those who seek exemption from the constitutional mandate demonstrate that "the exigencies of the situation made that course imperative." McDonald v. United States, 335 U.S. 451, 456, 69 S.Ct. 191, 193, 93 L.Ed. 153 (1948).
A warrant is not required for a search incident to an arrest because the search prevents the arrestee from reaching weapons or destructible evidence. Illinois v. Rodriguez, 497 U.S. 177, 185, 110 S.Ct. 2793, 2799, 111 L.Ed.2d 148 (1990); Chimel v. California, 395 U.S. 752, 763, 89 S.Ct. 2034, 2040, 23 L.Ed.2d 685 (1969). The scope of the warrantless search under this exception is restricted to the person of the arrestee and to any area into which the arrestee could reach. Chimel, 395 U.S. at 763, 89 S.Ct. at 2040. For automobiles this means that if the arrestee is the occupant of an automobile a police officer may, as a contemporaneous incident to the arrest, search the passenger compartment of the automobile. New York v. Belton, 453 U.S. 454, 460, 101 S.Ct. 2860, 2864, 69 L.Ed.2d 768 (1981). The automobile rule was adopted because courts found " 'no workable definition of "the area within the immediate control of the arrestee" when that area arguably include[d] the interior of an automobile and the arrestee [was] its recent occupant.' " Long, 463 U.S. at 1048-49, 103 S.Ct. at 3480 (quoting Belton, 453 U.S. at 460, 101 S.Ct. at 2864). The automobile search is generally reasonable even if the arrestee is already secured and away from the vehicle to be searched. United States v. Cotton, 751 F.2d 1146, 1149 (10th Cir.1985); United States v. White, 871 F.2d 41, 44 (6th Cir.1989); see also Belton, 453 U.S. at 456, 101 S.Ct. at 2862 (search of automobile passenger compartment was reasonable after arrestee was removed from automobile and secured).
Mr. Franco was arrested in a Government truck that was parked in close proximity to his vehicle. He contends that because he was arrested in the Government truck, the search of his vehicle was not incident to that arrest. Although the claim is plausible because a search incident to an arrest that is too remote in time or place is outside the scope of the exception, Preston v. United States, 376 U.S. 364, 367, 84 S.Ct. 881, 883, 11 L.Ed.2d 777 (1964), we find no such attenuation in this case. Here, the two vehicles parked adjacent to each other comprised the location of the illegal transaction and the location of the arrest. In the course of the illegal conduct, Mr. Franco moved between the Government truck and his vehicle two times; the first time to obtain a bag of cocaine, and the second time because an unidentified vehicle entered the parking lot. The record does not indicate any significant lapse of time occurred as Mr. Franco moved from one vehicle to the other, and back. Mr. Franco's access to his vehicle during the course of the transaction established he was in control of his vehicle at that time and at the time of the arrest. Mr. Franco used his vehicle to transport the illegal drugs to the agreed site and to store the drugs at the site pending delivery.
Incident to an arrest, police officers may search a vehicle of which the arrestee was a recent occupant. Belton, 453 U.S. at 460, 101 S.Ct. at 2864. Such a search is permissible notwithstanding the fact that the arrestee is out of the automobile and under the control of the officer. Cotton 751 F.2d at 1149. Mr. Franco was a recent occupant of his vehicle and the arrest was made in close proximity to his vehicle. During the illegal transaction Mr. Franco exercised control over his vehicle and its contents. On these facts the location of the arrest does not distinguish this case from Cotton. We repeat here what we stated in Cotton:
The facts surrounding each arrest are unique and it is not by any means inconceivable under those various possibilities that an arrestee could gain control of some item within the automobile. The law simply does not require the arresting officer to mentally sift through all these possibilities during an arrest, before deciding whether he may lawfully search within the vehicle.
Mr. Franco asks this court to adopt a formal rule that unless an arrest was made in the arrestee's automobile, a search of the automobile was not "incident to the arrest" for the purpose of that exception to the warrant requirement. We decline to adopt such a rule. Mr. Franco exercised control over his vehicle and its contents at the time of the arrest and during the commission of the offense, and was its immediate occupant. Accordingly, the search served to protect the safety of the law enforcement officers. Mr. Franco does not argue, and the record does not indicate, that anything transpired between the arrest and the search that made the search unreasonable.
The decision of the district court is AFFIRMED.

The five favourites to win the PFA Player of the Year in 2019/20
by Ste McGovern 19/02/2020, 11:27
As we enter into the final third of the Premier League season, debates will start raging over who should be crowned the PFA Player of the Year for 2019/20.
Voting among players in the top flight will begin in early March and close around the third week of April, giving them ample time to consider which of their peers deserve the ultimate accolade at the end of the campaign.
Among the top five contenders for this year's prize, four are Liverpool players. Quelle surprise. The league leaders have been arguably the most impressive team in the 28-year history of the Premier League, winning 25 of their opening 26 games.
There are even suggestions that they could have 10 of the 11 slots in the Team of the Year, such is their dominance. One shock from the list of the top five favourites to win the award is the absence of Mo Salah, who has been the top performer in the league over the past three years.
The Egyptian has 20 goal involvements this season, but that's not enough to put him right in the conversation apparently, with one bookmaker deeming him as a 25/1 outside bet to regain the honour bestowed upon him in 2018. If not him, then who?
5. Trent Alexander-Arnold
It is slightly strange that there has not been more of a clamour to put Trent Alexander-Arnold in the conversation for PFA Player of the Year, given how integral the young right-back is to Liverpool's tactical approach.
Jurgen Klopp prefers his side to move the ball through the full-backs rather than midfield, giving Alexander-Arnold and Andy Robertson huge responsibility on either flank. While the left-sided Scot often transports the ball by dribbling up the touchline, his colleague sprays it around the pitch like a peak David Beckham in his Manchester United heyday.
The 21-year-old, who has been backed by World Cup winner Cafu to win the Balon d'Or one day, has provided ten assists so far this season. Only Kevin De Bruyne has more, although the Liverpudlian's 22 assists since the start of last season is the most of any player in the Premier League during that time. Without him the Reds' ball movement and creativity would surely falter.
There is even a readymade narrative for Alexander-Arnold to catapult himself ahead of the competition for this award, that of the local lad who emerged from the academy to play a major role in winning the club's first league title in 30 years. It's the stuff of dreams, but it looks like he will be overlooked in favour of one of his teammates. Nonetheless, he is a shoo-in for Young Player of the Year.
Odds: 12/1
Five of the Premier League's best full-back pairings ever
4. Kevin De Bruyne
Arguably the best player in the Premier League on his day, Kevin De Bruyne was a popular pick when we made our pre-season predictions and, although Manchester City are struggling compared to previous years, he should still be in that conversation.
The Belgian playmaker has contributed a highly impressive 16 assists already this season, putting him just four off equalling Thierry Henry's record. He has never looked better, but it hasn't been enough to stop City's decline this season. They are still one of the best teams in Europe, but injuries and bad luck have seen them fall behind Liverpool as the country's top side.
That makes it unlikely De Bruyne will be crowned Player of the Year, unless he does something dramatically incredible between now and the point at which voting closes, like reaching 30 assists for the campaign. It would take something that extraordinary for a non-Liverpool player to win it.
Odds: 5/1
The Everton cult hero who substituted himself into an FA Cup semi-final
3. Virgil van Dijk
Having won so many plaudits and various awards – including the PFA Player of the Year – for his part in transforming Liverpool into a juggernaut last season, Virgil van Dijk has taken a slight backseat in all of the credit being doled out to squad members this year.
That means the Dutchman is only third favourite in this list rather than the frontrunner to win Player of the Year, despite the outrageously good defensive displays the backline has put in up to now.
If there is one man who exemplifies the excellence, consistency and transformation of the Merseyside outfit these past two years, then it is van Dijk, who has been worth every penny of £75m they paid Southampton for him and then some.

2. Sadio Mané
Only one of our writers backed Sadio Mané to become Player of the Year this season, although it feels as if the Senegalese international has been skirting on the edges of challenging for the award for a few seasons now.
The wide forward was the joint Golden Boot winner with Salah and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang last season, scoring 22 goals in the league. This season he has only accumulated 12 so far, but he has increased his number of assists from one to six, meaning he is providing 0.89 goal involvements per 90 minutes. Excluding penalties, only Gabriel Jesus, Riyad Mahrez, de Bruyne and Sergio Aguero can boast a better rate.
Mané rarely puts in a bad performance, and it's his consistency that could put him over the edge when it comes to polling his fellow professionals. If he doesn't win it this year, then he will likely never have a better chance to do so.
1. Jordan Henderson
Not a single one of our writers predicted that Jordan Henderson would be the next Player of the Year. In fact, there was probably no one on the planet who predicted such a scenario. But as of right now he is the frontrunner for the prestigious award.
It would mark a huge turnaround for a footballer who was deemed by many to not be near the level required for a title-challenging side, and yet, having taken over the captaincy from club legend Steven Gerrard, he has lifted the Champions League trophy and could be doing the same with the Premier League trophy this May.
Henderson's recent form, which has seen him contribute two goals and three assists, has catapulted him into the conversation for the gong, but it's his leadership ability, passion, determination and desire that has made him the favourite, as well as a beloved figure at Anfield.
These are all classic traits that the English football fraternity traditionally loves, but does this make him the best player in the league this year? Is Henderson more important to Liverpool than, say, van Dijk or Mané? Or what about Alexander-Arnold or Salah or Alisson Becker? He has been an important cog in this unstoppable machine, but he is ostensibly more readily replaceable than all of those players.
If Henderson does manage to be crowned Player of the Year, it will have a distinctly Scott Parker in 2010/11 feel about it.
Odds: 11/10

'Toxic cuts have left Chelmsford's GP surgeries at crisis point'
Leading voices on both sides give their opinion on the issue
Fraser Smith
A campaigner has called for an end to the 'crisis' engulfing Chelmsford surgeries
A prominent NHS campaigner has demanded an end to putting "profit before patient care" in the face of delays and quality problems that have left Chelmsford's GP surgeries at "crisis point".
Andy Abbott, a spokesperson for the group Defend Our NHS Chelmsford, has claimed that the issues in the city are caused by a "toxic combination of cuts, and selling off our NHS to big business."
He used the example of Sutherland Lodge, which he said after being taken over by Virgin Care two years ago had gone "downhill very quickly."
This was reflected in a recent Care Quality Commission (CQC) report which had shown the surgery had been rated as "inadequate" in all but one area.
Dr Ramsay, Dr Birn-Jeffery, Carol Sams - Practice Mngr, Dr Cunniffe left Sutherland Lodge in 2016
The damning report contrasted to another conducted by the CQC, which had in 2016 gave the surgery an overall rating of "Outstanding", with only one other medical practice in Essex being given the same status.
Hannah Casey, the Vice Chair for North Essex Local Medical Committees, a union representing GPs in the county, also believes change is necessary: "I think a lot needs to be done to try and retain staff, from doctors, to administration staff so there is continuity of care and more stability.
"We simply cannot offer a good service and meet the current demand when this far outstretches the resources available, in terms of doctors, nurses and support staff."
Mr Abbott also thinks that this issue is one affecting the whole county and not just Sutherland Lodge.
Both Mr Abbott and Dr Casey agree that more should be done to combat the issues affecting surgeries across the county.
Dr Casey, who is a GP in her own right, believes the problems can be fixed through a greater investment in Primary Care, which is at around seven to eight percent of the NHS budget.
She also highlighted the importance of the new medical school at Anglia Ruskin University, which may bring in more students.
However, she did acknowledge that this would take several years before it becomes a viable solution.

Stephen Robinson, the head of the opposition Liberal Democrats on Essex County Council, whose remit includes health, echoed these views: "The bottom line is we have a crisis in the NHS, especially in the outer home-counties and London.
"For too many years, the government has not spent enough and this has reached a crisis point.
Lib Dem Councillor Stephen Robinson has had his say on the issue
"We have many older GPs who are retiring and they are not being replaced, we do not have anything like enough staff.
"This has been made worse by the Brexit vote because a lot of the NHS staff come from the EU.
"A lot of them are leaving and the government is not giving visas to non-EU doctors to come into this country."
John Spence, Cabinet member for Health and Social Care comments on the issue
Chelmer councillor John Spence, said in a statement:
"The challenge of GP provision in Essex is a recognised issue. Our ratio of GPs to population is among the lowest in the country.
"As a governor of ARU (Anglia Ruskin University) I am delighted that the medical school is succeeding but it will of course take some years for that to bear fruit.
"We are working closely with NHS colleagues to develop integrated ways of working that both meet the needs of residents and relieve pressures on GPs.
"We are truly grateful for the good will and effort of the GPs who are in place.
"We will also continue to look to embrace the community as ultimately the goal must be to keep people healthy with early intervention that minimises the need for contact with the system in the first place, or to reduce the extent of the contact."
Chelmsford MP Vicky Ford met with representatives of the Mid Essex Clinical Commissioning Group last week to discuss Sutherland Lodge.
Following the 2018 CQC report on Sutherland Lodge, she had said that the city of Chelmsford "deserved better" and that she would no longer receive further contracts from Virgin Care, the private care provider.

Subaru continues teasing the public with a special version of the model from the STI S lineup. The Subaru WRX STI S209 will be available in North America for the first time.
Subaru has showed one more teaser of a WRX STI special edition, which will debut next month at the 2019 Detroit Auto Show. This is the model from Subaru Tecnica International for the US car market.
The carmaker has released no official data yet. The S209 car, as it will be probably called, is a continuation of previous S versions. The teaser shows an emblem of the future premiere.
The WRX STI S209 will get wider wings, an aggressive aerodynamic body kit with a new splitter and air intakes, Subaru's sports golden wheels and a massive rear wing.
Technical details are still a secret. We expect a more powerful engine, redesigned suspension and enhanced brakes. Subaru will likely manufacture a limited number of the S209 vehicles analogous to the S206 (just 300 units) and the S208 (450 units).


Whole Foods was supposed to have banned the plastic bags from their 270 stores in the USA, Canada, and the United Kingdom by Earth Day - April 22, 2008. There are no Whole Food stores near me so I was unaware of this. If this important occurence had made national TV news (which I think it should have), I missed it. So, I am glad that today -almost a year later I read about this on the internet site -CARE 2.
I would hope that the majority of Americans care about the environment. I hope that the person commenting on this article who said "Another bonehead move by the environmentalists" belongs to the smallest of minorities. Ditto, the man who complained because he needed them for his garbage. These two and others of their ilk don't seem to care that 100 billion plastic bags land in our landfills each year and that it takes more than 1,000 years for a non-recyclable plastic bag to break down in a landfill. Where is the nation-wide shutter at this revelation?
Whole Foods is a trendsetter even though it is tiny compared with the whole retail grocery industry. Their early example of selling organic foods was later copied by other top supermarket chains. I truly hope that these large chains will also follow Whole Foods in this all important environmental trend. As A.C. Gallo, co-president and chief operating officer for Whole Foods Market said in a company press release in 2008 -"Together with our shoppers, our gift to the planet this Earth Day will be reducing our environmental impact as we estimate we will keep 100 million new plastic grocery bags out of our environment between Earth Day and the end of this year alone." Imagine how many billions would be kept out if all the major chains did the same.
Some forward-moving cities, states, and even countries are also trying to eliminate non-biodegradable plastic bags from their waterways and landfills. San Francisco banned them and Oakland is considering a ban. New York and New Jersey require retailers to recycle them and surprisingly- China announced a ban in 2008.
In place of the plastic bags, Whole Foods will offer free paper bags in four sizes made from 100% recycled paper, reusable bags made from 80% recycled plastic bottles for 99cents, and canvas bags selling for $6.99 to $35. If consumers bring their own bags --5 or 10 cents is taken off the bill for each. Yes, more work for the person at the cash register as well as a little inconvenience to the buyer --"Is it worth it?" And of course, for people who care about our environment, the answer has to be a resounding yes!
Lisa Mastny, editor of the World Watch Institute report opined: "Doing away with plastic grocery bags won't just help protect marine life, it's a key move in shifting us away from a 'consume-and-dispose' mentality."
And hopefully, with so many of us suffering financial reverses in this time of recession, we may yet learn what the early immigrants did --that we should only buy things we absolutely need and then take care of them. How will this play out with our planned obsolesence economy? Hopefully, there will be more jobs created to fix what we buy instead of throwing away because it is cheaper to do so.
Ten years ago I was perplexed to find out that I had to throw away my Mr.Coffee maker because the starter button gave way. There was nobody to fix it or I was told it would cost more to do so, and I would be ahead buying a new one. So one little button and the repair know-how missing as I had to reluctantly throw away the Mr. Coffee maker which would certainly clog up the land fill more than a starter button. I thought that so sad and telling about our throwaway society. Yes, we became a "rich" nation - but at what cost to our environment? And yes, we became a "rich" nation and bought and bought and bought until many of us bought ourselves into a hole. I guess the word for that is "recession."
