In conjunction with Pewee Valley Woman's Club's Arts & Crafts Day, the Pewee Valley Historical Society is holding tours of The Beeches, 125 Central Avenue, former home of "Little Colonel" author Annie Fellows Johnston.
The Beeches was built in 1901 by "Mamie" Craig Lawton, several years after her husband, General Henry Ware Lawton, was killed during the Spanish American War. After his death, Mamie returned to her home town, so she could raise her children close to her family. The widow built the house using a portion of the $99,000 she received from the "Lawton Fund," a national subscription set up shortly after the general's death to provide for her and her four children.
The story of how The Beeches ended up in Annie Fellows Johnston's hands is actually the story of a long friendship.
The Craigs had met the authoress several years before The Beeches was built, while Annie was renting the cottage across from Edgewood. Members of the Craig family eventually inspired 12 characters in the "Little Colonel" stories, starting with the publication of "Two Little Knights of Kentucky (Who were the Little Colonel's Neighbors)" in 1899. Even after the novelist left Pewee Valley, journeying to New York, California, Arizona and Texas in search of a cure for her stepson John's tuberculosis, she maintained a lively correspondence with Mamie Lawton and used details of the Lawton family's lives in her books.
In 1911, John Johnston died of TB in Boerne, Texas. His stepmother and sister decided to return to Pewee Valley. Around the same time, Mamie moved to Annapolis, to be closer to her daughter, Frances, who had married a Lieutenant Commander in the U.S. Navy. Mamie sold the house to Annie, who lived there with her stepdaughter, artist Mary G. Johnston, until her death on October 5, 1931.
For many years, particularly in the 1920s and 1930s, The Beeches was a major tourist attraction. "Little Colonel" fans young and old made the pilgrimage to Pewee Valley to meet the beloved author and see the house that had played a starring role in the series. After Annie's death, Mary kept the house as a shrine to Annie and continued to welcome her stepmother's fans, until her own death on July 16, 1966.
Parking for both events – Arts & Crafts Day and the walking tour of The Beeches – is available at the Pewee Valley Presbyterian Church, 119 Central Avenue, just two doors south of The Beeches. The Beeches is a private residence and is not handicap accessible.
Cost of the tour is $15 cash or check, with proceeds to benefit Friends of Pewee Valley, a 501c3 organization for the City of Pewee Valley. The ticket cost is tax deductible.

BRANDED HOUSE DESIGN
SPACE DIGITAL GROUP
Country of operation
Space Digital Group is a digital lab from Warsaw, Poland. Since 2013, the company has been delivering IT solutions for its clients and building its own digital products.
Space Digital Group consists of digital professionals with business experience and cybersecurity expertise. It is not a typical software provider; the company exhibits in-depth technical capabilities and professional knowledge to provide solutions that are hack-proof and unbreakable. Space Digital Group has worked for many renowned companies such as Alibaba, Rakuten, Zara, Ikea, Cisco, IBM, Mercedes, Booking.com, Decco and Caritas.
Additionally, Space Digital Group builds its own products using the latest technology, including AR Bridge (SaaS for AR campaigns) and SafeTalk (an encrypted communicator for secure messaging).
Space Digital Group was communicating both its services and products on the company page. Additionally, digital products such as AR Bridge or SafeTalk had their own dedicated product pages. Space Digital Group needed a brand identity system that would organize and visually interrelate a portfolio of different services and products within a single company. The lack of visual system and consistency was hindering the company's effort to build a professional image and effectively communicate its offering to specific audiences. What is more, it the era of the changing world of technology and design, the previous visual identity was giving an impression of being outdated. The client needed a modern and technological approach to it.
The company was in need of brand architecture that integrates the entire digital ecosystem and visually connects the company's parent brand (Space Digital Group) and its sub-brands (a portfolio of Space Digital Group digital products). For this reason, we decided to create a branded house architecture. In this strategy, the sub-brands do not detract from the parent brand and follow the same identity system. This brings consistency and creates visual interrelationships between the brands.
Taking into account these principles, we prepared three different stylescapes formed on subtle analogies related to technology and security. We conducted a one-day workshop to discuss the stylescapes and allow the client to decide which proposal best resonates with the Space Digital Group. Afterwards, we started logo design and explored initial ideas. Finally, we developed full brand style guide including guidelines for the parent logo, sub-brands logo (modular grid), color palette, patterns, style rules and typography.
The other part of the workshops was dedicated the UX of the company website. Together with the internal stakeholders of Space Digital Group, involving the president of the board, CTO, designer, product owner and marketing, we discussed the structure of the site and its most important elements.
We designed a branded house architecture characterized by a strong parent brand and coherent sub-brands. The new visual identity system has a technological character and it is meaningful and relevant to the IT industry. The brands can operate separately from each other, but when put together, they have a coherent and powerful character. With the new brand identity, Space Digital Group can maintain the consistency of visual communication and easily create various content. The new website of Space Digital Group is modern and professional.
The brand architecture can be easily extended as the company further develops its product portfolio. We have prepared a modular grid that provides overall branding continuity and allows the company to build subsequent brand assets for new products.

Steak Tacos with Chimichurri Sauce – the easiest and most delicious steak tacos with a super easy and fresh chimichurri sauce. So satisfying, and so fresh!
You know what I love the most?
When hubs told me he wanted to grill a couple steaks for dinner, I was thrilled. An easy dinner with no work from me. Except I had to think of a side dish. So that's when I decided to take those boring steaks and turn them into these yummy steak tacos. I've also been dreaming about a chimichurri sauce and I thought these steak tacos would be perfect with some delish chimichurri sauce.
As I sit here and type this post and stare at these pictures through my blurry vision, I salivate remembering how good they were. Blurry vision is due to the dilation eye drops I had a couple hours ago for an eye exam. Ever had those before? Not as bad as I expected, the eyes stung a little as the drops went in, then hello blurry. And not only that, but light seems to bother me. Another hour and I should be fine, but I'm determined to write this post and tell you about these tacos. They're that good!
That chimichurri sauce is money though, I should bottle it and sell it. Super easy to make too. Of course I had fresh herbs from the garden that hubs is growing so even better. And don't let the name scare you. All you need is parsley, oregano, garlic, some green onions, olive oil, salt and pepper. I blended mine in my quick magic bullet.
The rest is easy. I topped mine with some of my favorite toppings, avocados, tomatoes, feta cheese, lettuce and drizzled with a bit of lime juice. Needless to say we gobbled these up in no time at all, at which time we stared at each other and wished there were more. And that's 4 tacos we each had.
Well there's only one solution to this problem. I'll just have to make them again this weekend and I strongly recommend you do as well.
Steak Tacos with Chimichurri Sauce - the easiest and most delicious steak tacos with a super easy and fresh chimichurri sauce. So satisfying, and so fresh!
While grilling steaks, make the chimichurri sauce. Place all sauce ingredients in a blender and pulse a few times until well combined. The sauce, if not used all, will keep in the fridge for up to 1 week.
Slice steak into thin slices. I made 4 tacos from each steak, but it depends on the size of the steak.
To assemble tacos, start with placing some steak on a tortilla then drizzle some chimichurri sauce over the steak. Finish by topping with avocados, tomatoes, lettuce and feta cheese. Sprinkle with some fresh lime juice.
What kind of parsley do you use for chimichurri sauce? Italian Parsley?
Just regular flat leaf parsley.
these look amazing! love the colours.. definitely need to recreate the recipe!
Delicious!!! I love that you used lime juice in the Chimichurri sauce. My husband won't eat anything with vinegar, so he's always missed out on chimichurri. Great idea!!!
Can you tell me how to make pesto sauce step by step. I have lots of basil and have been making some pretty darn crappy pesto.
We loved your baked zucchini wedges recipe!


You've made it through your grandpa's jokes during the Christmas meal and handed out all of your gifts. The holiday season has officially wrapped up, but the bills from your holiday shopping certainly haven't. Post-holiday financial stress is no joke. As the holidays become memories, the fun indulgences give way to large bills and pressing due dates.
January doesn't have to be such a shock, however, if you put some practices into place. If you start now, you can transform the unpleasant experience of paying the price for the holidays into stress-free chore.
Let's take a look at some ways to recover from overspending.
Adding a line in your December budget to pay for higher credit card costs is a smart way to plan ahead. Many of you are using the gift-giving and party days of December to rack up points and rewards on credit cards, and while that can be a solid strategy, don't forget to plan for the results.
Even a simple extra payment in January can reduce your overall bill total and get you set up to win with your finances for the rest of the year.
Even better than planning for your minimum payments in January is creating a budget all year to save for holiday expenses. You can still use your credit cards if you want to rack up points, but now you have the funds already sitting in an account to pay off the total when everything is over.
Alternately, you can pay cash for your holiday merriment and not even worry about a looming credit bill come January. All the better to enjoy the gifts of the season knowing you've paid for them outright.
Ok, you didn't plan throughout the year or in December for larger bills, and now you have a situation on your hands. While this may be a time you'd like to ignore the total cost, that's only going to cause you a headache in the long run.
It's important to sit down and take an honest look at your finances in January since this both sets the tone for the coming year, and allows you to reconcile the previous year. Once you rip the band-aid off and understand what you owe, this makes it easier to make a sound plan to pay off the debt.
Don't just make the minimum payments. You can find creative ways to lessen your debt load. Consider transferring balances to cards with lower interest rates, or consolidating credit balances to make one easy payment.
You can also rethink your overall budget to find ways to put more money into repaying the debt. No one says to give up all your luxuries forever, but you might put a hold on that fancy coffee for a few months until you reach your goal. When you get something paid off, use the minimum payment you used to make to reward your efforts.
If nothing else, finding ways to get cash back can give you some extra momentum. Did you love all the gifts that you received? If not, consider returning them if you can to get cash to fund your pay-off.
Even if you can't get cash back, many stores will issue gift cards. If your gifts came from stores that carry a multitude of different types of items, this might free up your budget to put down cash if you can pay for groceries or household items with the gift card.
You can also check on reward points you've accumulated and apply them towards items in the budget that will benefit your paying off debt. You might be surprised how getting rewards from online retailers through your credit card will save you in household expenses.
You can also go the old-fashioned route and put things up for sale. It's likely that others are looking for things they didn't receive during the holidays, and this can give you some immediate cash.
It isn't necessary to panic when January 1st rolls around. With some planning for the future, and a creative attitude now, you can recover from your holiday indulgences in no time.


A roundup of of all Network Rail projects currently underway in June 2011.
The Thameslink upgrade project is well underway creating some major new landmarks on the route through London. These will allow 12 coach trains to operate on the route from Bedford to the South coast via London from December this year.
These trains will operate through a rebuilt Farringdon, Blackfriars and London Bridge stations which have been heavily worked on for a couple of years. The Blackfriars and Farringdon station rebuilds will be completed by the Olympics next year and London Bridge by 2018.
In what Network Rail described as the jewel in the crown, Blackfriars has seen most engineering activity in the last couple of years. The tracks were slewed over Christmas to what will be their final position when the platform and roof works are complete.
The terminating bay platforms are now to the west of the through lines and Blackfriars Bridge has been widened with three rib arches added to carry the terminating lines. The London Underground (LU) escalators have been installed allowing Transport For London to complete their station rebuild which has been shut for two years while the work has been carried out and will reopen in December 2011.
The LU track protection shield, a concrete box similar to that used in the St. Pancras project a decade ago, was removed at Easter to allow platforms to be built and other ancillary work to be carried out. Structural steelwork is also being erected in June and July for the new Blackfriars north entrance and booking office.
The roof contains photovoltaic cells on the roof which will supply an estimated 10% of the station's power requirements. The station's south entrance will also be opened by next year creating London's first station to span the Thames.
New ticket hall steelwork is now being put in place at Farringdon providing when finished, a new integrated ticket hall serving Thameslink and Crossrail. This will be opened in time for the Olympics in addition to the new entrance already opened from Turnmill Street.
Passengers using the Thameslink platforms at Farringdon are now protected following the addition of a new three panel roof spanning the north end of the station up to the new footbridge, opened a couple of years ago. This will encourage passengers to spread out along the platform speeding up their joining and alighting from trains.
Also to be made operational before the Olympics is the new Borough Market viaduct which was slid into position over the Mayday Bank Holiday. This will remove the requirement for Thameslink services to cross trains running between London Bridge and Charing Cross. Services will increase to 16 trains per hour before the Olympics Network Rail have said.
The next stage of the project will commence after the Olympics and will NR said, "Unlock the capacity built in before the games". The hub of station work will move to London Bridge which will be heavily remodelled. There will be nine through platforms and six terminating platforms, a reversal of the current station layout. All platforms will be 12 cars long and have a full length canopy.
The roof of the LBSCR trainshed will be removed and the walls incorporated into the new station design. A new concourse will be created the size of Wembley football pitch alongside a new entrance from Tooley Street. The planning application was due to be lodged with Southwark Council by July and a decision is expected before the end of the year.
The Bermondsey dive-under will eventually separate Thameslink services from Sussex routes and combined with the Tanners Hill fly-down being doubled, remove many of the conflicting train movements. DC Power supplies have been upgraded and a new depot will be built at Three Bridges after the Olympics.
A lot of work has also been underway north of London. Many platforms on the line to Bedford have also been lengthened to accommodate 12 car trains. Elstree and Borehamwood platforms were lengthened by 80 meters in one weekend with a new modular platform built off-site and brought in on the back of lorries. Five new 12 car sidings will be constructed at Bedford, one has already been built, with a section of the line to Bletchley electrified for operational reasons.
The Midland Main Line has also been boosted with additional AC power supplies already commissioned, which were required to ensure the 12 car trains could run. Just north of St. Pancras station in the tunnels, a new set of crossovers has been installed which will be used in times of service disruption.
Eventually Thameslink services will operate onto the East Coast Main Line (ECML) to Peterborough and Cambridge via the new Canal Tunnel junction between Gasworks and Copenhagen tunnels just out of Kings Cross. The line will emerge from a tunnel, already built onto the ECML.
As with other Thameslink routes, power supplies will be upgraded, but in this case they will also provide for the new trains to be built under the Intercity Express Project when they are eventually introduced. More stabling will be provided at Peterborough and a new depot is to be constructed at Hornsey. European Train Control based signalling will control all services through London and Network Rail and the DfT will deliver an overall systems integration plan that will involve every part of the rail Industry.
Platforms at around 50 stations will be lengthened to take 12 car trains adding up to four kilometres of new platforms in total!
It was announced without any fanfare on June 16 by the Department for Transport that the preferred bidders for the Thameslink fleet are German firm Siemens. They won the order after a two year bidding competition at the expense of Bombardier, the last train builder in the UK based at Derby.
The order comprises of around 1200 dual voltage (AC and DC) carriages which will start to be introduced in 2015 and be completed by 2018. These trains will replace the existing class 319 trains which will be cascaded to other areas of the network such as in the North West and the Thames Valley.
Siemens are thought to have spent over £45m refining their 'Desiro City' type trains which will be cheaper to use as they are lighter than existing trains. They will be built in Germany but will still generate around 650 jobs at the new Hornsey and Three Bridges Depots.
Network Rail has announced that following the Southampton to the West Midlands route freight upgrade was completed in April allowing 9'6" containers to travel by rail, a diversionary route will be created by June 2013.
This will run from Southampton, Romsey and Andover to Basingstoke. Platform canopies at Andover, Romsey and Whitchurch will be trimmed along with 17 bridges being demolished and rebuilt with higher clearances and track alterations will be made in another 11 locations.
The project starts in August and should be completed by June 2013 and has been made necessary by the ever increasing deep sea container traffic being routed via Southampton.
The line between Oxford and Worcester is having £70m spent on it providing 21 miles of extra track which reinstates double track on previously single tracked sections. Disused platforms at Charlbury and Ascott Under Wychwood have been brought back into service.
The second and final stage will see the commissioning of the last 15 miles of double track between Evesham and Moreton in-Marsh this August.
The rail Industry has come together and announced the proposed train service for the duration of the Olympics next year.
Train services will run earlier and later than the normal timetable and be supplemented by using all available carriages. Network Rail has said that there will be no disruptive engineering work for the three months around the Games.
Passengers should be able to book tickets on the extra services from now on and there will be standby services in London for late running events. 2000 extra trains have been planned for the Olympics and 1500 for the Paralympics.
The Avon Valley Railway has been awarded the Queen's Award for Voluntary Service due to the AVR's part in rescuing an injured cyclist last year. A steam on the Bitton based preserved railway near Bristol saw the injured man and informed the authorities of the situation.
New step-free access to platforms 15 and 16 have opened at Britain's busiest station, Clapham Junction. This is part of the multi-million pound station upgrade project.
Leeds is one of the busiest stations in Britain and is about to undergo another upgrade. It was last enlarged by Railtrack just over 10 years ago and the next stage will see a new entrance and concourse on the south side with work starting now. This will be completed in 2014. A new Sainsbury supermarket is being built adjacent to the existing booking hall and will be opening this year.
April punctuality figures released by Network Rail show that just under 93% of trains ran on time in April. East Coast trains were the worst performers despite a recovery plan being in place for some time. June has seen several major incidents such as on the South West Main Line and the West Coast Main Line both of which stopped all services for a time.
C2C were the best performing large train company with 96.33% of trains on time - heading the table for the third consecutive month. Island Line are the best performing operator with 99.9% punctuality!


Plymouth Animal Sanctuary - Sponsorship - Sponsor Us!
The cost of sponsoring a animal is £60 per year or the welfare van for £100 per year which can be paid monthly or annually. In return you will receive a colour photo and information on the chosen animal group, fridge magnet, keyring and two updates from your group. If you would like to go ahead and sponsor any of the animals you can pay monthly or send a one-off payment to the sanctuary.
When you have chosen the animal that you wish to sponsor please download and print a sponsorship form, gift aid form and standing order form and return the completed forms to us.
This unit is down the steps from the Sunnyside Residents. It is a small room which currently houses four of our older cats who can roam the sanctuary during the day and are safely tucked up at night. The cats have a ramp down from the window but quite often like to curl up by inside and watch the world go by or curl up on the settee. Often our Cosy Cats have medical conditions that mean it would be hard for them to find a home but with daily care at the shelter they are able to have comfortable lives and company.
Dunroamin consists of three dog kennels that we have tried to make a little more homely. Each kennel has an arm chair or sofa, heating and an outside dog run which leads onto a small yard. This unit is used for elderly dogs or those more likely to be with us longer whilst waiting for their home.
The sanctuary care for two goats names Rambo and Big Bill. They are a very adventurous group who get up to lots of mischief whenever they can.
Three Dartmoor Ponies reside at the sanctuary and two Shetlands. The Dartmoor Ponies were rescued by their owners, but then their circumstances changed and they were unable to keep them.
Pigs Paradise currently is a family of two named Truffles and her son Bruiser.
This is the largest of our resident elderly cat units and overlooks the memorial garden. There are armchairs, pods and shelves at different levels so that the cats can find the spot they are happiest with! At the moment it houses six cats who are either elderly, on long term medication or have special needs. The cats have access to the outside during the day and are tucked up safe and sound at night.
The unit can care for up to eight cats at anyone time. Some of the cats from Sunnyside are available for adoption.
Big Socks and April are both resident cats here at the shelter. They are wonderful characters, much loved and fun to have around. They can be sponsored for £60 per year. This includes a newsletter, a magnet, keyring, car sticker.
The Snug is a room located under the reception area and houses some of our older cats that have special needs. The Snug group has access to the shelter grounds at night and during the day they have this cosy room to enjoy which has a run attached. It can house anything from 4-8 cats at any one time. Many of these cats have toilet issues which prevents them from being rehoused.
The latest addition to our sponsorship scheme is our new 'If you love it neuter it' van. This vehicle will be used for a variety of purposes including community welfare visits (where experienced staff follow up calls for help and bringing in needy pets), vet run (with our own animals that need treatment or neutering. This happens every week day and with emergencys at the weekend too), homechecks (pre and post adoption ), events (this can be anything frorm local shows to anywhere we can explain the benefits of neutering), supplies collecting essentials from wholesalers etc.
This option costs £100 annually. You will receive two newsletters about the welfare van anually and also an initial welcome pack.

Dr Bayju Thakar is Co-Founder and former CEO of Doctor Care Anywhere, an online doctor consultation service.
Dr Thakar trained as a medical doctor at King's College, London, and then practised in both General and Emergency medicine before a move to consulting at Mckinsey & Company. At Mckinsey he worked across public, private and emerging market health systems in medical devices, pharmaceuticals and information technology industries. Bayju is also Founder and Director at Synergix Health Limited, and holds a Philosophy degree with honours from King's College, London.
Describe the journey from medical doctor to McKinsey & Company to Co-Founder of Doctor Care Anywhere?
That's a really interesting question. Why did I want to leave medicine? I still ask myself that question a lot. In truth the real reason I left medicine is because I just didn't know what I wanted to do in my life. I really enjoyed medical school and the friendships I developed. What I didn't understand or embrace at that time was what a privilege being a medical doctor is. I didn't have the maturity at the age I was to realise what it meant. As a result by the time I became a senior house officer I became frustrated with myself, and at the time the health service was undergoing a considerable restructuring process, which left me frustrated with the system too. So I left.
I spent some time in West Africa and lived in Ghana for a time. I eventually had to come back. I didn't have any money. I wasn't sure I wanted to return to medicine. I started talking to people a lot more mature than myself about the options out there for people leaving medicine. It turns out that it is a fairly well trodden path. They were ex-doctors themselves and suggested I looked into consulting, as it is a generalist field and consulting firms liked doctors because of their problem-solving abilities. I decided to have a look into it and at the time McKinsey & Co and Bain & Co were among the best in the world.
By no means did I just walk into McKinsey & Co. I had to work incredibly hard for several months, learning new skills, learning how to think in new ways, analysing various case studies. I got through the interview process and they gave me a job as an associate. My journey there was an exciting one. It was more tactical. I came into an environment in which I knew almost nothing, and coming in from the outside I hadn't quite realised how hard these individuals work. It was a very steep learning curve. For a period of around 3 years it was 16-hour days, getting on planes and getting off planes all around the world. But it was fascinating stuff, not just in healthcare but also in a number of other industries. It gave me a remarkable insight into business, government, big industry and policy making.
I got to a point where I thought 'that's enough for me'. I had learnt a huge amount, had great experiences but realised it was now time to go. I didn't have a job lined up to go to, I just jumped ship. I had enough faith in myself that I would find a way. I did a stint in private equity for a couple of years, running the portfolio for an energy company. It was very different to frontline healthcare but taught me some real hard-nosed investment and transactional aspects of the business world.
By 2012 I looked at my experiences and realised the thing I liked the most was healthcare. I think it is relatively easy to get out of bed in the morning and feel good about healthcare. I also liked the idea of getting into business. And that's when I realised who I was – I wanted to develop a healthcare business. I wanted to create something, build something, run something and I wanted it to be in healthcare. I believed the opportunity existed and I knew I wanted to be in it for the long game.
There's no doubt that healthcare is way behind other industries in terms of advocating technology and the digitalisation of the interaction between patient and doctor. So I started working on that idea with a guy called Farzad Entikabi an ex-King's College medical student and practising GP. It was mainly over a few bottles of wine and harebrained ideas that Doctor Care Anywhere was born.
What is Doctor Care Anywhere ?
Doctor Care Anywhere started as a virtual GP platform, where you can consult a doctor by video or voice call. As a company we believe that all humans should have access to healthcare and feel confident that care is safe and effective. Doctor Care Anywhere is about using technology to make this human right possible. To help make that happen, I want to know that my patients have an app on their phone whereby they can get hold of their GP when they need to, so they can ask questions and get useful answers at short notice if needs be. And then if they need diagnostic testing or a specialist consult they can have that arranged remotely without undue delay. If we can make it so that patients and clinicians alike can avoid having to travel to and from clinics, wait in waiting rooms, then get a letter of referral sent to them, all of that – if it's what they want, and it's medically appropriate – then we can save a lot of time, money, and capacity for everyone involved.
I want these processes to be possible wherever they are in the world. In part, that means they need all their healthcare notes to be contained in a single patient file, accessible from their phones. The important thing for me there is that it means I can provide something that leaves people feeling safe and cared for. We now cover approximately 270,000 patients from over 100 countries. We serve a large number of businesses including AXA PPP, Nuffield Health, Legal and General, The Co-op and over 250 blue chip corporates.
Doctor Care Anywhere won the best patient platform at the HBI 2017 awards, the only "telehealth" company to make the final shortlist. What sets your company apart?
It's interesting because the award was about technology. We have a brilliant team led by our CTO Mark Findlater . Those guys have developed something so brilliant that actually I don't need to spend too much time pondering it – it just works, and it works very well indeed.
What I spend more time thinking about and what differentiates us, is our relentless focus on clinical excellence. We are a doctor-founded business. Anyone can say they hire the best doctors and have the best technology – but in "telemedicine" that just isn't true. It's a whole new way of doing things. You have to up-skill constantly, to develop the best doctors for this model, and then you have to keep them on board. We spend a huge amount of time training our doctors to know how to practice "telemedicine". It is a substantially different interaction. Your history has to be different and you cannot physically examine the patient. Your observation of the patient is different and their observation of you is different, so you have to learn to approach the consultation differently. We are constantly auditing the quality of our service and the excellence of our doctors. That is what I am most proud of.
What are your thoughts on the digital healthcare landscape and how it will evolve?
I think back when we started in 2012, the US was considerably further ahead, and it still is, though a lot of that has to do with scale, the structure of the healthcare system and the incentives available.
Here in the UK, of course, the big healthcare provider is the NHS. The NHS is dealing with a huge array of struggles, as everyone knows. Consequently its adoption of new ways has been quite a challenge, but over the past 3 or 4 years there has been more and more dialogue with businesses like ours. We are definitely seeing a huge amount of interest and engagement in digital health now.
I would still describe it as being at its early stages, and pretty subscale, but the curve is steep. In the next 5 years I believe the adoption of clinical services through digital platforms will be the norm. This is not because I am some sort of eternal optimist but because it has been a long time coming: it's akin to that famous adage where one says "it took me 20 years to become an overnight success".
Our population is 'ageing', how does a patient demographic familiar with physical interactions with their doctor benefit from Doctor Care Anywhere?
I think the digital healthcare sector needs to be honest about its limitations – I believe start-ups need to be more responsible about what we can and can't do. There is actually quite a lot we can't do, and we need to acknowledge what those things are, but there is a great deal we can do- so let's focus on that.
Imagine you have a complex elderly patient case. The patient regularly needs to be examined, as part of their ongoing care needs, and most GPs would need to see them in person. Digital technology can still be used to benefit this patient – that could include collecting data and identifying trends, whether this be blood glucose or blood pressure, for example. The collection of useful clinical data enables an improved evaluation of care which means doctors can make more informed decisions. This is relevant to all ages, irrespective of their complexity.
Where there are clear limitations to the need for physical assessment, services like ours can do much of the heavy lifting in cases that don't require it. That's at least 60-70% of primary care. So we can repurpose capacity and demand, so that those patients who most need to be seen in person, can be seen in person.
I believe start-ups need to be more responsible about what we can and can't do in the digital healthcare space.
What advice would you give to any aspiring healthcare entrepreneurs ?
Don't overthink it. Just do it. If you really want to develop something, you can only do it by moving forwards. You become smarter at figuring out what you need to think about and solve as you go along the journey.
Mentorship is the key to avoiding critical mistakes. People are often willing to share as they recognise just how hard it is and have often made plenty of mistakes themselves. Inevitably you will make your own share, so you just have to get up and crack on. There is nothing more important than taking the first step and moving forward.
Mentorship is the key to avoiding critical mistakes.
What would you say are the main parallels between working as medical doctor and a healthcare entrepreneur?
The constant learning. There is a huge amount of risk but therein lies a lot of fun and a lot of reward. You need a great deal of resilience in dealing with day-to-day mistakes and trying to improve. In that sense it is quite similar to your early days as a junior doctor.
Have any books inspired you along the way?
I think a lot of business people get asked who their business mentors are and what inspirational reads they have. I generally don't tend to read that type of literature. I love fiction. I like the escape and to immerse myself in more creative thinking than constantly being switched on into business all the time. There are many inspiring leaders but I don't think I have to just find them in the business word. I can find them in a character in a beautiful book. Frankly I can find it from just speaking to my wife who is an amazing human being and the mother of my 2 children. So whilst I read a lot it tends to be fiction.
Along the theme of fictional literature, what is the last book you read?
I just finished "Tender Is the Night" by Fitzgerald.
I'd probably say my favourite author is Salman Rushdie because he writes so intelligently and with such beauty. I think I have read everything that he has published.
Finally, can you give me 3 words that summarise Doctor Care Anywhere?
Kind, compassionate and exceptional… and that refers to the people who work in the company!

Ten years ago, execs feared the Internet could become a software platform that threatens Windows. They were right.
As early as May 1995, three months before Netscape Communications' initial public offering sparked the dot-com boom, Microsoft executives were worried that the nascent World Wide Web could one day become a significant threat to the Windows franchise.
In an extensive memo called "The Web is the Next Platform" that was introduced as evidence in Microsoft's antitrust trial five years ago, Microsoft engineer Ben Slivka described a "nightmare" scenario for the software giant.
"The Web...exists today as a collection of technologies that deliver some interesting solutions today, and will grow rapidly in the coming years into a full-fledged platform (underlined for emphasis in the original memo) that will rival--and even surpass--Microsoft's Windows," Slivka wrote.
Microsoft, however, didn't heed the warning. Instead, it embarked on a strategy--championed by Jim Allchin, who today heads up development of the next version of Windows--that was fanatically focused on the operating system.
Another memo, called "Google--The Winner Takes All (And Not Just Search)," is also making the rounds. This internal memo, written in 2005, argues that Google threatens Microsoft and the company's crown jewel, Windows.
Just about the only thing that's changed over the last decade is that Microsoft's amorphous nightmare has a name: Google.
The MSN shuffle and that familiar-sounding memo come just as Google is poised to become the biggest threat to Microsoft's hold on the tech industry since Netscape shipped its first browsers. More than a few analysts believe that Google, with its massive array of networked computers and Web-based software, is rapidly expanding beyond its traditional search business and is about to collide with Gates & Co.
Google has about $7 billion in the bank to fund this fight. And it's already stealing the tech limelight from Microsoft--and significant mindshare from developers. Indeed, Google even managed to snag some top employees away from Microsoft, a trick Microsoft performed on its rivals countless times in the 1980s and '90s.
The MSN shift also brings full circle an argument that began inside Microsoft a decade ago: If the Web, not the PC, is indeed the next computing platform, should Microsoft embrace it wholeheartedly, or do everything in its power to ensure that Windows stays at the center of the computing universe?
"Google threatens Microsoft's position on the Internet, and could potentially lock Microsoft out of its existing distribution channels and reduce the value of Windows."
A group of pro-Internet "doves" led by then-executive Brad Silverberg and Slivka argued in the mid-1990s that instead of digging in on the PC, Microsoft should beat its rivals by becoming the dominant platform for Internet computing, according to the book "Breaking Windows: How Bill Gates Fumbled the Future of Microsoft," by David Bank.
Ultimately, executives such as Allchin, who plans to retire once Windows Vista is shipped, won that internal debate. The Internet Explorer browser was folded into Windows; a separate unit dedicated to Web development tools was merged with other product groups; and nearly all of Microsoft's Web technology development was tied to the Windows platform.
It's hard to say, given what happened in the following years, that it was a bad decision. A badly bruised Netscape was acquired by America Online. AOL, back then a major threat, lost its importance. And from fiscal 1997 to the end of fiscal 2005 in June, Microsoft's annual revenues grew from $11.36 billion to $39.79 billion. Net income nearly tripled to $12.25 billion annually.
What those executives couldn't have seen back in 1997, however, was that a search engine recently developed by graduate students in a Stanford University dorm room would by 2005 become Google, a Net powerhouse on its way to doing better than $4 billion per year in business.
"Microsoft is facing a whole new slew of competitors in the 21st century that weren't around five to 10 years ago," said Michael Gartenberg, an analyst at Jupiter Research.
Today, Google is taking a page from the Microsoft playbook for tech dominance. It's wooing the third-party software developers who for years have written their programs for Windows--and increasingly are Google's Internet services as part of their Web applications. It's also luring some of Microsoft's top minds, including the controversial Kai-Fu Lee, an expert in speech recognition technology, and Adam Bosworth, a former Microsoft programmer extraordinaire who came to Google by way of BEA Systems.
Microsoft, it seems, is faced with a classic "innovator's dilemma," as author Clayton Christensen put it in his groundbreaking book that defined why tech giants usually miss the next wave of innovation. Microsoft execs made what looked like the right decisions at the time. As a result, the cash came in. The core product, Windows, became bigger and more complicated, and getting updated versions became harder to get out the door.
The burden of that success, as the theory in the book goes, makes it harder to respond to the next generation of tech innovators. Years ago, Microsoft and Apple rattled IBM. Now Google, some believe, has a chance to rattle Microsoft by providing a cheaper, easier-to-use alternative. "Every other time Microsoft was attacking from below," said one former executive. "Now (Microsoft) is being attacked from below and they don't know how to deal with it."
The Microsoft reorganization makes it clear just how seriously CEO Steve Ballmer and Chairman Bill Gates take that threat-?even if they won't exactly say it. "We've had lots of competitors in their honeymoon phase," Gates said about Google in a recent interview with CNET News.com. "But I'd say, in some ways, this is the biggest honeymoon I've ever seen."
Yet MSN's new prominence makes it clear that Redmond is focused on bringing a Web platform closer than ever to the operating system, analysts said.
MSN could be what Windows could never be: a Net platform that allows developers to write and distribute their code quickly. Patches and upgrades that take weeks or longer to distribute with traditional software can be done overnight, simply because they're all under the same umbrella. By comparison, the successor to Windows XP, introduced in 2001, isn't due until next year.
In fact, MSN has already been used as a vehicle for shipping Windows features, said Rob Helm, director of research at the independent research firm Directions on Microsoft. The search service in Windows Vista, for example, shipped earlier as MSN Desktop Search. In addition, Internet Explorer features, like tabbed browsing, and protection against phishing techniques--in which online scammers entice unwitting Internet users to log on to fake Web sites that steal their information--shipped first through MSN, Helm added.
Not all that long ago, Microsoft execs were saying Internet Explorer updates were inextricably tied to Windows updates. But the most recent version of the browser shipped ahead of Windows Vista so, some analysts believe, Microsoft could keep pace with the upstart Firefox browser.
"MSN has become, bit by bit, a channel to get stuff out from a Windows organization that otherwise was kind of blocked by their rather difficult delivery process" that can be slowed by traditional sales channels, he said.
Of course, Microsoft isn't in danger of falling apart anytime soon. The Windows monopoly, the Office desktop suite and the Exchange e-mail system give Microsoft plenty of money to fix the problem. And it's not as though tech giants disappear into the night: IBM, after several years of scuffling, reinvented itself as the tech services king.
But it's fair to say that the hammerlock Microsoft has had on tech for better than a decade may finally be loosening. Increasingly, Web surfers are finding alternatives to the PC for their Net access. And no competitor, not even Netscape, has captured the public's imagination the way Google has.
The memo now circulating shows that Microsoft execs are well aware of the search giant's impact. "Google threatens Microsoft's position on the Internet, and could potentially lock Microsoft out of its existing distribution channels and reduce the value of Windows," the memo said, according to The Wall Street Journal. The Journal first reported on the memo Thursday. Microsoft, the memo said, was playing "an expensive game of catch-up."
Now the battle is intensifying, and MSN is an ideal launch pad for Redmond's counter-offensive. Last week, rumors swirled that Microsoft would acquire AOL or enter into a partnership that could have AOL using MSN's search engine and effectively swiping Google's single biggest source of revenue. Neither company has confirmed the rumors.
"MSN will be higher profile, and it will also be better leveraged," said David Smith, an analyst at Gartner. "There is a lot of good technology and a lot of assets over there that can be leveraged."
Until now, MSN has struggled to find its niche within Microsoft. It started out in the Windows group when Windows 95 launched. Later, it was positioned as a competitor to AOL's proprietary service and bundled dial-up Internet access. It even once featured broadcast TV-type programming over the Web, not to be confused with the MSN TV set-top box division it has today.
"Few products at Microsoft have gone through so many strategic identity shifts over the years as MSN has," said Jupiter's Gartenberg.
MSN finally reached operating profitability two years ago because of an increase in online advertising, particularly keyword search sales. That brings it to where it is today: a well-traveled property whose time may have finally come.
While analysts praised Microsoft's new MSN vision, they said the devil will be in the details that Microsoft hasn't offered many of yet. Gartenberg predicted that MSN's instant-messaging service, for one, will become part of the Windows environment.
"There is no doubt that whatever Microsoft will be offering vis-?-vis MSN, and how MSN goes forward, it is going to be strongly integrated back into the whole Windows platform," he said.
Added Gartner's Smith, "I think you are seeing the beginning of Microsoft kind of getting themselves set for the redefinition of platform--the era we are calling the second Web revolution."
What remains to be seen is whether Microsoft is able to do battle with Google as successfully as it did with Netscape.

President Daniel Ortega's ruling Sandinista National Liberation Front wants to remove presidential term limits.
Nicaraguan President Daniel Ortega's ruling Sandinista National Liberation Front party will seek to change the constitution by year-end to remove presidential term limits, lawmakers have said.
It is the people of Nicaragua who should decide who the president will be and whether or not there should be re-election.
From Bolivia to Ecuador, a string of Latin American leaders has managed to change rules in recent years to allow them to remain in power beyond traditional term limits.
Ortega has not said publicly whether he would like another term as president, but such a reform would allow him to follow in the footsteps of his ideological ally, late Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez, who called a referendum in 2009 to change Venezuela's constitution to allow indefinite reelection.
Nicaragua's law has included a two-term limit, but that was overridden by a Supreme Court ruling that allowed Ortega to run again in 2011.
The 63-strong bench of lawmakers from President Daniel Ortega's party presented a reform proposal to the national assembly on Friday and have just over the two-thirds majority necessary in the 92-person body needed to pass it.
"It is the people of Nicaragua who should decide who the president will be and whether or not there should be re-election," ruling party lawmaker Alba Palacios, who will head the commission that studies the reform proposal, said on Thursday.
The reform would also get rid of the minimum simple majority needed to win a presidential election.
The national assembly is set to meet on Wednesday to discuss the proposal and has until the end of December to vote on it, lawmakers said. The next presidential vote in Nicaragua is due in late 2016.
Left-leaning Ortega first took power after Nicaragua's 1979 revolution and was formally elected president in 1984. After his Sandinista party lost power in 1990, the opposition banned re-election with a clause in the 1995 constitution.

Kraj północnoczeski (czes. Severočeský kraj) powstał 11 kwietnia 1960 r. na podstawie ustawy nr 36/1960 o podziale terytorialnym państwa i jako obszar administracyjny wciąż istnieje, nie jest jednak już jednostką samorządową. Siedzibą kraju jest Uście nad Łabą. Obejmuje on północną część Czech właściwych. Na północnym wschodzie graniczy z polskim województwem dolnośląskim, na północnym zachodzie z niemiecką Saksonią, na południowym zachodzie z krajem zachodnioczeskim, na południu z krajem środkowoczeskim, a na wschodzie z krajem wschodnioczeskim.

Obejmuje dziesięć powiatów: Czeska Lipa, Deczyn, Chomutów, Jabłoniec nad Nysą, Liberec, Litomierzyce, Louny, Most, Cieplice i Uście nad Łabą.

Pierwotnie kraj północnoczeski był także jednostką samorządu terytorialnego posiadającą własną administrację. Na podstawie ustawy nr 347/1997 i ustawy nr 129/2000 o krajach kompetencje samorządu terytorialnego przejęły nowe jednostki; "stare" kraje stały się jedynie okręgami administracyjnymi dla np. sądów (Sąd Okręgowy w Uściu nad Łabą), prokuratury, policji czy urzędów skarbowych.

Powiaty Deczyn, Chomutów, Litomierzyce, Louny, Most, Cieplice i Uście nad Łabą tworzą samorządowy kraj ustecki. Powiaty Czeska Lipa, Jabłoniec nad Nysą i Liberec wchodzą w skład samorządowego kraju libereckiego.

It's very important for the health of your garden that your plants are placed in the proper location. A shade loving plant that gets too much sun will be more susceptible to pests and diseases. Similarly, if a plant says it requires full sunlight, then it needs to be in a location that receives 6 continuous hours of direct sunlight a day.
Sunlight and shade aren't the only factors when it comes to location. Soil drainage is also an issue. If a plant requires well-drained soil it can't be planted directly in clay soil that does not drain! To improve soil drainage dig a hole twice as large as the plant needs and work compost, leaf compost, manure or peat into the existing soil before planting. Conversely, some plants, like water iris and cattails, are suitable for moist soils.
Choose your garden location just as carefully as you choose your plants!

ABB appoints UK partner for motion control products
January 14, 2020 JET Digital Media
ABB extends its UK penetration for motion control products with the appointment of a Yorkshire-based specialist.
SMS Machine Automation (SMS) is the first UK company to be awarded ABB Value Provider – Technical Distributor status for ABB motion control products.
ABB's motion control range includes servo motors, servo drives and programmable logic controllers (PLCs). SMS's previous expertise as an ABB Value Provider – System Integrator enables them to provide a more complete package for customers, covering applications' operational life from initial purchase through to installation, commissioning, maintenance and upgrades.Established in 1999, SMS has for the past 20 years provided engineering solutions for machine building, system integration and automation component distribution for a range of industry sectors. Simon Wakefield, Marketing and Communications Lead, SMS, describes the company's broad customer base: "We provide standard components and custom solutions for a wide range of industries, from nuclear fuel production and premium chocolate manufacturing to glass bottle embellishment, and even automotive and entertainment applications."
Rory Hamilton, UK Channel Manager, ABB, says that the partnership will add considerable value for customers: "SMS were previously classified as a Value Provider – System Integrator for ABB motion control products, but in being awarded Value Provider – Technical Distributor status the partnership has now stepped up a gear. SMS's expertise in machine and system integration, combined with our market leading products, now allows them to help customers cost effectively integrate automation into their manufacturing processes, helping to improve efficiency, productivity, safety and quality."
SMS is now gearing up for future expansion off the back of the new partnership, as Wakefield explains: "Our new status will increase turnover, and we intend to take on more staff to help grow the company. All the team are excited with the new deal, and it's great that our achievements are recognised by a company like ABB as capable of meeting the high standards expected of a Value Provider".
Gordon Watson, SMS Director, agrees, adding: "At a time where automation is being talked about at boardroom level in many businesses, this puts SMS in a great position to work with new and existing clients to develop new business in the UK, and help to bring ABB's market-leading offering to more customers".
The ABB Value Provider network offers UK customers access to ABB motors, variable speed drives and mechanical power transmission products together with a wide range of services, technical advice, training and bespoke contracts. Although each ABB Value Provider is an established and successful engineering company, all members of the network must undertake regular training to ensure its product, industry and technical knowledge is of the standard required to deliver accredited sales, support and service in close cooperation with ABB.
ABB (ABBN: SIX Swiss Ex) is a pioneering technology leader with a comprehensive offering for digital industries. With a history of innovation spanning more than 130 years, ABB is today a leader in digital industries with four customer-focused, globally leading businesses: Electrification, Industrial Automation, Motion, and Robotics & Discrete Automation, supported by its common ABB Ability™ digital platform. ABB's market – leading Power Grids business will be divested to Hitachi in 2020. ABB operates in more than 100 countries with about 147,000 employees
