The Battle of Balaclava?
Photo by nick olson on Unsplash
Balaclavas can be very useful things to have to hand – when the weather is very cold or you're discussing the Crimean War (1853-1856) from where the term for the garment originates in the United Kingdom (circa 1881, according to the historian and cleric, Richard Rutt). During the Crimean War, British soldiers wore the garment to cope with the sub-zero temperatures that they experienced during the winter months of the Campaign.
Today, the garments are still incredibly popular with cyclists and winter sports' enthusiasts (I confess: I have two for cycling during the winter months and they're great!).
Despite, the historical associations with the British Army's involvement in the Crimean War, it's not always advisable to use the Balaclava as a teaching aid for History classes – especially DIY History classes.
McClean, an Irish footballer playing for the English Championship side, Stoke City FC, has recently found this out to his cost.
In a bizarre social media post (on Instagram), McClean put a picture of himself wearing a Balaclava as he was talking to two children. What was the point of this strange exercise? McClean claims that he was teaching the children about history, but others have seen this as an endorsement of paramilitary groups – particularly the Provisional IRA.
Today's history lesson by James McClean
There was a public backlash and McClean was fined by this Club. The player is something of a controversial figure to many as he routinely refuses to have a poppy printed on his football jersey in the run-up to Remembrance Day commemorations each November in the United Kingdom.
https://www.independent.co.uk/sport/football/premier-league/poppy-james-mcclean-matic-guardiola-klopp-remembrance-sunday-armistice-day-a9194266.html
McClean hails from the City of Derry in the North of Ireland which will be forever associated with the events of 'Bloody Sunday' on 30 January 1972. On that day, 13 innocent Civil Rights marchers were shot and killed without justification by members of the Parachute Regiment – as per the conclusions of Lord Saville's Report (2010) which contradicted Lord Widgery's findings published in April 1972. The Saville Inquiry took 12.5 years and cost the British taxpayer £191.5 million – the longest and most expensive inquiry ever in the United Kingdom (figures obtained from The Spectator).
The previous Widgery Report was seen by many in the Republican and Nationalist community as a cover-up and a whitewash in that it absolved the Parachute Regiment of any wrong-doing for the deaths. Inevitably, the Report fuelled a long lasting sense of grievance within this community. McClean grew up on Derry's Creggan Estate – not far from St Mary's Church where many of the funerals of the 'Bloody Sunday' victims took place.
We often forget that footballers can be employees i.e. have a contract of service with their Clubs as per Section 230 of the Employment Rights Act 1996. McClean is fortunate that he has retained his post; other, less famous employees might not have been so lucky.
Section 98(4) of the Employment Rights Act 1996 permits an employer to dismiss an employee (potentially) fairly by reason of his/her conduct (with the proviso, of course, that the employer follows proper procedures in line with current ACAS standards).
McClean might initially have protested that the social media post was done while he was outside working hours. Regular readers of this Blog will be well aware that this type of excuse is extremely naive at best. Yes, employees do have a right to privacy, in terms of the European Convention on Human Rights, but this is never absolute – especially if an employer can argue that the behaviour of an individual employed by him or her has caused reputational damage to the organisation.
Employers do have a part to play here: they have a duty to have clear and consistent guidelines on employee social media use within and outwith the work-place. It should go without saying (but I'll say it anyway) that the employer should make sure that employees are aware of the existence of such guidelines and have actually read them.
The misbehaviour or misconduct of employees which takes place outside working hours can have a really serious reputational impact on your employer. Individuals, like McClean, with high profiles in the community should be aware of this. It won't be the last time that we read about someone who is deemed to be a role model – a teacher or a sporting personality – who misbehaves outside work and pays the price for this type of behaviour.

You've got (e)mail! … or will I ever get out of this place?!!!
Photo by Kon Karampelas on Unsplash
Email can be a wonderful form of communication. It can also be, quite frankly, something of a curse for many employees and workers. Essentially, you're never too far away from the work-place and bosses/clients/service users expect to receive an instant reply.
The expectation by bosses and managers that employees and workers should be monitoring their emails (constantly) does tend to be a contributory factor in the rising number of cases of work-related stress. Employers: please note that you have a duty of care to provide a safe working environment and part of this obligation includes monitoring unacceptably high levels of stress in the work-place.
There is a perception (rightly or wrongly) that UK employees suffer from some of the longest working hours in Europe. In 2019, data from the EU's Eurostat Agency seemed to support this contention but, interestingly, the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) took a more sceptical approach by questioning the method of data collection (the old adage about lies, damned lies and statistics springs to mind here).
Links to a BBC article about this issue and the Eurostat figures (and OECD response) can be found below:
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-49795179
https://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/databrowser/view/tps00071/default/table?lang=en
https://www.oecd-ilibrary.org/economics/international-productivity-gaps_5b43c728-en;jsessionid=c_2XYmRNoOJLRgHdT0TJPQqs.ip-10-240-5-115
UK employees are, of course, entitled to receive a written statement of the main terms and particulars of their employment as per Section 1 of the Employment Rights Act 1996. This statement must contain a provision which addresses the employee's normal weekly working hours.
Despite Brexit (which did occur on 31 January 2020 – in case you missed it), the UK is still following EU rules until the end of this year … One EU Law with particular relevance to this debate is the Working Time Directive ((2003/88/EC) which was transposed into UK employment law by way of the Working Time Regulations 1998.
In theory, the Directive and the Regulations cap the number of hours that employees (and workers) can work at 48 hours per week (technical point: this figure can be averaged out over a reference period – 17 weeks normally). Crucially, however, UK employees and workers can opt out of the 48 hour maximum by signing a declaration (opt-out) that they wish to do so. If they change their minds, they are entitled to do so by giving the employer a minimum seven days' notice (or in certain cases – 3 months) of this intention.
The legal rules on working hours are all very well in theory, but what about the culture of organisations which may (at an informal level) promote the idea that long hours spent at work (or just working) are a sure fire way to get ahead in your career?
This is where the influence of email (and other instant messaging services) can be quite insidious (pernicious even?). Employees feel under pressure to deal with this work load at weekends, during holidays and evenings. Parents of young children and carers of elderly relatives, who may have negotiated flexible working arrangements, may be under acute pressure to deal with emails etc when they are outside the work-place. In this way, the work-place becomes like the Eagles' song, Hotel California ('You can check out any time you like, But you can never leave!').
Interestingly, in some of our ex-EU partner countries, there have been initiatives at both the organisational and legal level to curb the smothering influence of email outside the work-place.
There is a real danger here for employers that, by encouraging employee use of email outside working hours, it may constitute a policy, criterion or practice (PCP) – no matter how informal – which could open themselves up to accusations of indirect discrimination on grounds of sex (women are still the primary carers for children and elderly dependents) and disability (by reason of a person's association with a disabled person) in terms of Section 19 of the Equality Act 2010.
Furthermore, employees might feel that they are under constant surveillance by the employer because it becomes easier to keep tabs on individuals when they are logging in and out of the company's IT network. For employers, this could lead to legal challenges from employees who are concerned that the right to privacy and family life as enshrined in Article 8 of the European Convention on Human Rights has been violated.
Is there a better way of doing things? Yes, is the short answer.
In 2011, the German multinational car manufacturer, Volkswagen (VW) introduced major changes to its working practices by curbing the use of emails when employees were off duty. This agreement was negotiated by the company and trade union/labour organisations.
In France, in August 2016, they went further and passed the El Khomri Law (named after the French Government Minister for Labour who introduced the proposal). This law gave employees a right to disconnect from email. In one particular case which involved the French arm of the British company, Rentokil, an employee was awarded €60,000 because his right to disconnect from email had been breached.

https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2018/08/01/british-firm-ordered-pay-60000-french-court-breaching-employees/
The debate about the right of employees to disconnect from email – whether this is negotiated via some sort of collective agreement or underpinned by law – now seems to have penetrated the British consciousness. Rebecca Long-Bailey MP, one of the leading contenders for leadership of the British Labour Party has thrown her hat into the ring by backing a trade union campaign to introduce a legal right to disconnect in the UK.
One small problem: the Labour Party lost the last British General Election on 12 December 2019 to the Conservatives and is, therefore, in no position to deliver. Over to you Prime Minister Johnson? (a man fond of the populist gesture).

The limits of privacy
Photo by Tony Liao on Unsplash
Several of my previous blogs (It happened outside work … (or it's my private life!) published on 7 February 2019; Social Media Misuse published on 11 April 2019; and Social media and dismissal published on 20 May 2019) have addressed the issue of whether employees have a right to privacy in the work-place.
The short answer is yes and no: privacy is not an absolute right.
Privacy in the work-place is becoming more of an issue thanks to the widespread use of social media by employees outwith working hours (and, of course, during the working day).
If you're working in the public sector (and this, potentially, covers a large number of employees), Article 8 of the European Convention on Human Rights i.e. the right to family and private life could be particularly relevant to your situation.
Even if you're employed by a private sector organisation, Article 8 rights are still relevant because they are ultimately guaranteed by the State (the United Kingdom) as a signatory to the European Convention. Furthermore, there are all sorts of situations where private sector organisations may be regarded as 'emanations/entities of the State' because they carry out some type of work or provide a service which is beneficial to the wider public (think utilities companies or those organisations which benefit from outsourced contracts from local and central government).
Regular readers of this blog will know, of course, that provisions of the European Convention have been incorporated into Scots Law via the Scotland Act 1998 and the Human Rights Act 1998.
Employers, quite rightly, may have legitimate concerns about the type of content or statements that their employees post on social media platforms – especially if such material could cause the organisation to suffer some sort of reputational damage.
In such circumstances, it's simply not a competent defence for employees to argue that disciplinary action (up to and including dismissal) which might be taken by their employers represents unwarranted interference in their private lives.
That said, it is very important for employers to set out clear guidelines and policies covering social media (mis)use by employees during and outwith working hours. There is a balancing exercise to be had here between the legitimate interests of the employer and the employee.
So, it was with some interest that I read about a case before the Outer House of the Court of Session during the summer which dealt with the boundaries of employee privacy (see Petition of B, C and Others v Chief Constable Police Service of Scotland and Others [2019] CSOH 48).
Lord Bannatyne rejected the Petition for judicial review lodged by a number of serving Police Scotland officers who were accused of (non-criminal) misconduct by their employer. These officers had allegedly used the WhatsApp social media platform to exchange a number of messages between them which were deemed to be offensive in nature and not in keeping with their role as serving members of Police Scotland.
Police Scotland wished to access the content of these messages in order to progress the misconduct hearings, but the officers involved in the disciplinary investigation argued that this constituted a breach of their human rights – specifically their rights to privacy Article 8 of the European Convention on Human Rights. More generally, the officers were also arguing that they had the right to privacy at common law.
His Lordship highlighted the significance of the important decision of the European Court of Human Rights: Von Hannover v Germany [2005] 40 EHRR 1 to the case before him.
Von Hannover raises three important considerations:
"… the width of the concept of private life; the purpose of Article 8, i.e. what it seeks to protect; and the need to examine the particular circumstances of the case in order to decide whether, consonant with that purpose, the applicant had a legitimate expectation of protection in relation to the subject matter of his complaint."
The key issue which Lord Bannatyne identifies from Von Hannover, is whether the Scottish police officers "had a legitimate expectation of protection" in terms of Article 8; or to draw upon a phrase later formulated by UK Supreme Court Justice, Lord Toulson: "a legitimate expectation of privacy" (see In re JR38 2016 AC 1131).
In rejecting the officers' petition, Lord Bannatyne focused on the existence of the Standards of Professional Behaviour contained in Schedule 1 to the 2014 Regulations to which all serving Police officers must adhere (in particular the officers had sworn an oath to uphold these Standards both while on and off duty).
His Lordship stated:
"There is a restriction on police officers' private life and therefore their expectation of privacy. … It is only in relation to these matters that there is a limitation on the officer's privacy it is not a whole scale intrusion into his private life. Accordingly to achieve the underlying purpose of the Standards, namely: the maintenance of public confidence in the police, police officers have a limitation on their expectation of privacy as above described."

A link to how the story was reported by BBC Scotland can be found below:
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-tayside-central-48799289
As a point of interest, several days after Lord Bannatyne's judgement was reported, the BBC carried a story about United States Border Patrol officers who were suspended from employment for posting offensive remarks about migrants (and other individuals) on Facebook.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-48834824
Reclaiming motion to the Inner House
Clearly dissatisfied with the judgement of Lord Bannatyne in the Outer House, the Petitioners appealed to the Inner House of the Court of Session by way of a reclaiming motion.
On 16 September 2020, the Inner House issued its judgement in this regard (see Petition of B, C and Others v Chief Constable Police Service of Scotland and Others [2020] CSIH 61). The Petitioners' arguments (the reclaiming motion) were comprehensively and unanimously rejected by Lady Dorrian, the Lord Justice Clerk, Lords Menzies and Malcolm.
Some of Lord Malcolm's remarks were especially striking and illuminating:
"Essentially, the touchstone of private life is whether in respect of the disclosed facts the person in question had a reasonable expectation of privacy." (Lord Nicholls in Campbell v MGN Ltd [2004] 2 AC 457 at paragraph 21) …
… All of those involved were police officers. Each had solemnly sworn to uphold certain professional responsibilities and standards in both their public and private lives, and had promised, in effect, to take action if informed of the misconduct of others. This was known to each participating officer. To take perhaps an extreme example, if a constable (or indeed any public official) writes to a colleague stating that he accepts bribes, he might hope that it will be treated in confidence; he might even have such an expectation, but if so, it is neither reasonable nor legitimate."
Lord Malcolm also pithily disposed of an argument put forward by Counsel for the Petitioners:
"Mr Sandison submitted that police officers should enjoy the opportunity to have "off the record" communications between each other in whatever terms they consider to be appropriate. As he put it, the petitioners should be "free to be persons", presumably as opposed to being members of the police force. The difficulty is that they are both."

The Index's ability to provide an accurate benchmark of a system's capabilities garnered a devoted following that praised its practicality and functionality. In other words, a benchmarking utility designed to measure performance built into the very fabric of the Windows ecosystem.
This useful tool, absent from Windows 10, begs the question of how does one go about running a computer performance benchmark test or obtaining a similar stat.
Therefore, we made this guide that covers the best way to go about measuring your system's performance potential.
Run Windows 10 Performance Monitor Tool
Although not on par with the Windows Experience Index mentioned above, Windows 10 does have an inbuilt performance monitoring tool. We'll be the first to say it doesn't replace a benchmarking tool, but it provides useful system information that may prove helpful. Here's how to run the monitor tool.
To begin, right-click on the Windows Start menu icon and select "Run" from the contextual list that pops up on the screen.
In the empty Run field, enter "perfmon /report" and hit "Run" below.
Windows will launch the performance monitor tool and gather system data for 60 seconds before compiling a report. Allow the process to run its course.
Once finished, you'll get an overview of your system alongside a series of checks detailing any potential problems with the PC.
Click on the "Hardware Configuration" section, then on "Desktop Rating."
Click the "+" sign below "Query," then do the same for "Returned Objects."
You'll get a rating for various processes from CPU to disk by way of graphics. Scores are rated out of ten, giving you a performance value for the system.
Run The Windows System Assessment Tool
The following method is very similar to the one above but does provide additional details about how well a system performs with CPU, GPU, and memory indicators. Follow these steps to run the tool.
To start, right-click on the Windows Start menu and hit "Run" from the listed options.
Type "cmd" into the empty run field and hit Ctrl+Shift+Enter on the keyboard.
When prompted with the "Do you want to allow this app to make changes to your device?" message, select "OK."
In the Command Prompt window, type "winsat prepop" and hit Enter.
Allow Command Prompt to run the test.
When finished, you'll get a full list of how well the system performed for each type of test. For GPU tests, the results are measured in FPS, while CPU performance is tallied up in MB/s, and so on.
Find Windows System Score
In a remarkably similar fashion to the Index, this method allows you to get a numerical value for your system performance.
Begin by right-clicking on the Windows Start menu and then on "Search" in the contextual list.
Next, type "Windows PowerShell" into the empty search field.
Right-click on the first result of the same name and select "Run as administrator." Doing so opens up the Windows PowerShell window, which is visually similar to Command Prompt.
Type "Get-WmiObject -class Win32_WinSAT" into the Windows PowerShell and hit Enter.
The results will display a score for each aspect of the system, including CPU, memory, graphics, hard disk drive, etc. The score correlates with that provided previously by the Windows Experience Index.
Use Third-Party Benchmarking Software
If the workaround options innate to Windows 10 don't cut the proverbial benchmarking mustard, the next step is to seek out a third-party benchmarking utility. Which one you use comes down to personal preference, so we recommend experimenting with a few until you find one that suits your needs.
We rate UserBenchmark for its user-friendly character as well as the ability to compare results to other systems, and Catzilla for throwing all kinds of things at your PC to get an accurate snapshot of what it is capable of when pushed to the limit.
Alternative but equally great benchmarking utilities include Prime95 prized by overclockers for CPU testing or the ever-popular Sandra, that provides comprehensive benchmarking among an array of other functions.
For the sake of example, we are homing in on UserBenchmark. Before running any benchmark tool, we recommend restarting the PC, closing all applications, and not using the PC during the test. Doing so ensures faithful, untampered scores.
Download the latest version of UserBenchmark here by clicking on the orange "Free Download" button.
When the download finishes, double click on the executable "UserBenchMark.exe" file. Conveniently, the tool doesn't need installing and runs as-is.
When prompted, select which components to benchmark.
Hit "Run."
Allow the benchmarking to complete. It can take up to a couple of minutes. The progress bar that runs along the top is an indicator of how the process is progressing. The utility will run several demanding graphical renders that will appear on the screen. Rest assured, this is normal.
When finished, the results will load up in your browser.
The top section details general system information that includes clearly-worded assessments for each component. By scrolling down, you'll access benchmarking scores for each element, alongside a useful comparison tool that rates it against other users. Further down, you'll also find various graphs detailing performance throughout the test.

Sex-specific risk of cardiovascular disease and cognitive decline: Pregnancy and menopause

Understanding the biology of sex differences is integral to personalized medicine. Cardiovascular disease and cognitive decline are two related conditions, with distinct sex differences in morbidity and clinical manifestations, response to treatments, and mortality. Although mortality from all-cause cardiovascular diseases has declined in women over the past five years, due in part to increased educational campaigns regarding the recognition of symptoms and application of treatment guidelines, the mortality in women still exceeds that of men. The physiological basis for these differences requires further research, with particular attention to two physiological conditions which are unique to women and associated with hormonal changes: pregnancy and menopause. Both conditions have the potential to impact life-long cardiovascular risk, including cerebrovascular function and cognition in women. This review draws on epidemiological, translational, clinical, and basic science studies to assess the impact of hypertensive pregnancy disorders on cardiovascular disease and cognitive function later in life, and examines the effects of post-menopausal hormone treatments on cardiovascular risk and cognition in midlife women. We suggest that hypertensive pregnancy disorders and menopause activate vascular components, i.e., vascular endothelium and blood elements, including platelets and leukocytes, to release cell-membrane derived microvesicles that are potential mediators of changes in cerebral blood flow, and may ultimately affect cognition in women as they age. Research into specific sex differences for these disease processes with attention to an individual's sex chromosomal complement and hormonal status is important and timely.

Family Of Man Wrongfully Accused By Shaun King Receives Threats
Molly PrinceJanuary 10, 2019
The family of a white man who was wrongfully accused of gunning down a 7-year-old black girl has continued to receive death threats even after he was officially determined not to have any involvement in the crime.
Robert Cantrell was accused of killing Jazmine Barnes in a racially-motivated drive-by shooting in northeast Houston. Barnes was sitting in the backseat of her mother's car on Dec. 30 when another vehicle pulled up alongside and began spraying bullets.
The crime received national attention after Harris County Sheriff Ed Gonzalez and activist Shaun King began to promote a narrative that a white man murdered Barnes, which they continued to push even after they received a tip that a 20-year-old black man named Eric Black Jr. and another individual had shot Barnes.
King widely circulated a sketch of the alleged perpetrator along with Cantrell's mugshot. Cantrell, who had been arrested on unrelated felony charges resembled the composite. In a now-deleted tweet, King asked his more than one million followers for information on Cantrell.
"What more can you tell me about Robert Cantrell? He was arrested in Houston hours after Jazmine was murdered on another violent crime spree," King tweeted. "We've had 20 people call or email us and say he is a racist, violent asshole and always has been. Just tell me everything you know."
Despite the arrest of two black men for their involvement in the crime, Cantrell and his family continue to receive threats. Hailey Cantrell, Robert's niece told ABC7 that they are still being posted on Facebook.
"I hear, 'Someone is going to rape, torture and murder the women and children in your family," Hailey read.
"I just want everyone to back off," Hailey said. "The truth is out. It had nothing to do with us, nothing to do with my uncle at all."

Volvo's Atlanta Metro area car dealership - Volvo Cars Mall of Georgia is opening its doors with a "bang" by introducing a new contender in the Luxury Small SUV segment, the 2018 fully new- and redesigned XC60.
Just like its older sibling, the 7-passenger seating 2017 Volvo XC90, Volvo built the all-new XC60 on the Scalable Product Architecture (SPA) platform, assuring that all new Volvo models such as the S90 sedan or the V90 and V90 Cross Country wagons are true products of the Swedish carmaker.
With the new XC60 design we have a winner. The previous model, which was Volvo's best-selling vehicle in the U.S., has a huge and loyal fanbase. With its noticeable changes in shape, width and length the Crossover XC60 of this year has grown - literally.
Even though the new Volvo XC60 grew bigger, the weight will be almost the same, since Volvo used more of its light-weighted steel, which allows Volvo to be synonomous for car safety and best-in-class crash test ratings by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).
As we all know as Georgia commuters, safety is essential. No matter if you are driving from Lawrenceville, Buford, Duluth or Flowery Branch to Atlanta or just planning your weekend trip to Lake Lanier, Volvo Cars Mall of Georgia wants you to be safe. If you have any questions about Volvo cars and SUVs we'll give you all the info and links showing that Volvo keeps driver and pedestrian safe.
This new 5-passenger, compact premium XC60 crossover "will be one of the safest cars ever made" according to Volvo. Loaded with the best and newest technology such as City Safety by Volvo, this collision avoidance system will assist the driver to steer away from obstacles, such as pedestrians or larger animals on country roads, and aides further in getting around objects in front of the small SUV.
Other available Volvo XC60 Safety Systems are BLIS (Blind Spot Information System), OLM (Ongoing Lane Mitigation) - both are with Steer Assist, Volvo Run-Off-Road Mitigation System, Semi-Autonomous Pilot Assist, and an Active High Beam System to name just a few.
Is the Volvo XC60 a smaller version of the XC90?
The answer is short, plain and simple. No!
Compared to the Volvo XC90, which is, by the way, the "most awarded SUV" of all time- the XC60 2018 model year has a sportier appearance.
The objective for the XC60's designer was clear. They needed to produce a distinctive look in the smaller luxury compact SUV segment to stand out. A more aggressive look was achieved by lowering the front and dropping the hood towards the front grille. The lines are clean throughout, accentuating the slimming, so-called character line. A smaller overhang in the rear as well as the angle of the inclining windshield creates the feel and appearance of a true Sport Utility Vehicle.
With the 2018 Volvo XC60 T5 and the XC60 T6, our Volvo Car Dealership near the Georgia Mall will kick of the launch of this luxurious SUV. The T5 Base XC60 All Wheel Drive (AWD) has a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine producing 250 horsepower (hp) and torque of 258-lb-ft.
The Volvo XC60 T6 AWD comes with a 2.0-liter both turbo- and supercharged engine. The horsepower goes up to 316-hp with 295-lb-ft of torque.
Rounding out the line is the XC60 Plug-In Hybrid model. The so-named eAWD Volvo Hybrid SUV comes with a 400-hp engine. Torque for tis engine: 472-lb-ft! The acceleration from 0-60 mph will take just a tiny bit over 5 seconds!
The batteries in the XC60 Hybrid will last for approximately 28-30 miles electric driving distance, which is perfect for Atlanta's inner-city traffic.
In regard to trim lines, Volvo will offer the XC60 T5 and T6 in the Momentum, Inscription and R-Design trim, just like we could experience in the Volvo XC90 launch. To assure a smooth ride, the XC60 models will be equipped with an eight-speed automatic transmission, providing a pleasant quick and astute shift ratio, which gets even better when the Dynamic Drive mode is selected.
When you open the doors of the new XC60, you know you will feel home, safe, relaxed - a passenger cabin worth of having a featured spread in the newest Interior Design magazine.
For example, the Inscription trim line provide you with natural open light driftwood, elegantly applied to door inlays, center console and dashboard. If you are more a fan of glossier look, opt-in for the sleeker look, which would be provided by smoked larch wood trim.
Since this is a Scandinavian Crossover you'll find small insignias of the Swedish flag throughout the cabin, on the trim or placed on the piping of your hand-stitched leather interior - it looks "rich" but subtle. Just like the Swedes prefer.
In the center of the XC60 dashboard, you'll find the huge 9.3-inch touchscreen with Sensus Connect which also was introduced in the 90-Series. With the new 60-Series, Volvo updated the Sensus system with much larger fonts and a more intuitive interface, allowing access to all functions without any confusion.
Additionally, XC60's Sensus will provide Apple and Android smartphone integration and offers native apps such as Spotify, Pandora and Yelp. Those music apps will become especially handy when streaming your songs through concert-quality sounds system of Bowers & Wilkins, which is optional.
All in all, passenger and driver will enjoy the "homey" feel. Other features include a huge panoramic sunroof, slat storage compartments under the rear passenger seats able to house a laptop, tablet or smartphones. Wiper blades come with embedded nozzles injecting the fluid into the rubber blade itself assuring you immediate clear windows when in use. The all-new Volvo XC60 clearly shows how to be different without showing off.

Quick Review – The Return by Harry Sidebottom
On December 7, 2021 By The Unseen LibraryIn Historical Fiction, Murder Mystery, Quick Review
Publisher: Zaffre (Trade Paperback – 11 June 2020)
Bestselling historical fiction author Harry Sidebottom takes you on a dark and compelling adventure into the mind of a haunted Roman soldier as he returns home only to find more death waiting for him with, The Return.
Harry Sidebottom is an impressive author specialising in exciting and detailed Roman historical fiction novels, whose work I have been enjoying for years. Sidebottom has so far written two amazing series, the Warrior of Rome series, which followed a barbarian turned Roman general, Ballista, as he attempts to survive the machinations and wars of the Empire, and The Throne of the Caesar's novels that examined some of the more obscure and chaotic Roman Emperors. In recent years Sidebottom has started experimenting with some compelling standalone novels. The first of these, The Last Hour, brought back Ballista and set him on a fast-paced adventure through Rome in a manner reminiscent of the television series 24. His next novel The Lost Ten, featured a group of 10 mis-matched Roman soldiers who are sent on an infiltration mission into enemy territory to break a high value target out of prison. His third standalone novel was The Return, which came out last year. I read it a little while ago and failed to provide a timely review for it. However, as Sidebottom's latest novel, The Burning Road, has just been released, I thought I would take this opportunity to quickly review The Return so I have a clean slate when I get my hands on a copy of his latest book.
He came home a hero.
But death isn't finished with him yet . . .
145BC – CALABRIA, ANCIENT ROME. After years of spilling blood for Rome, Gaius Furius Paullus has returned home to spend his remaining days working quietly on the family farm.
But it seems death has stalked Paullus from the battlefield. Just days after his arrival, bodies start appearing – murdered and mutilated. And as the deaths stack up, and panic spreads, the war hero becomes the prime suspect. After all, Paullus has killed countless enemies on the battlefield – could he have brought his habit home with him?
With the psychological effects of combat clouding every thought, Paullus must use all his soldier's instincts to hunt the real killer. Because if they are not brought to justice soon, he may become the next victim.
The Return was an intriguing and compelling novel that contains a brilliant and dark historical murder mystery. Like some of his previous novels, Sidebottom has blended some unique crime fiction/thriller elements with his traditional historical settings and storylines. As such, The Return reads like an interesting combination of historical fiction and a darker crime novel, specifically Scandi noir. This results in a clever and compelling character driven narrative that follows a dark and conflicted Roman protagonist who is forced to investigate a series of murders in his grim and forbidding village. The author does a wonderful job of blending his historical elements with the compelling crime fiction storyline, and the reader is soon treated to a harrowing and exciting murder investigation. There is some brilliant use of a darker location, including a forbidding forest, as well as a lot of focus on his haunted protagonist, especially through a series of flashbacks. All this comes together into an excellent narrative, and it was fascinating to see Sidebottom's damaged protagonist dive head long into danger while trying to solve the murder and prove his own innocence. While I did think that the solution to the mystery and the culprits behind the murder was a little obvious, this ended up being an excellent and impressive novel. Sidebottom really takes the readers on a harrowing and enjoyable ride here, and I ended up getting through it in a few short days.
I was deeply impressed with the dark and guilt-ridden protagonist who Sidebottom set this great story around. Paullus is a recently returned soldier who received much acclaim during Rome's war with ancient Greece, but he is also haunted by his actions there, particularly around the fates of two of his comrades. Thanks to his guilt he constantly sees the Furies, the Roman goddesses of vengeance and retribution, who remind him of the wrongs he commits. To avoid seeing them Paullus dives headfirst into danger, as the threat of death is the only thing that alleviates his guilt. This helps turns Paullus into a fascinating and deeply complex figure who has some interesting interactions with his own emotions and the people from his pre-war life who don't understand what he is going through. Sidebottom utilises a series of flashbacks to showcase Paullus' military career and you slowly get the entire story of the protagonist's heroic past, as well as the event that led to his intense guilt and heartache. While I did think that Sidebottom might have been a tad heavy-handed with the flashbacks (it makes up nearly half the novel), I did really appreciate the sheer amount of work he put into his great protagonist. The author did an impressive job of simulating the guilt, fear and anger of a war veteran attempting to re-enter society and it was really compelling to see. I also deeply appreciated the author's trick of personifying this guilt into visions of the supernatural Furies, especially as it is never fully established whether they are there or just figments of his damaged mind. The use of Paullus as the central protagonist really enhanced The Return's excellent story and he was an outstanding investigator for this fantastic murder mystery.
I also really enjoyed the cool historical fiction elements contained within this novel. The Return takes place in 145BC, which is one of the earliest times that Sidebottom has explored in his historical fiction novels. I deeply enjoyed the exploration of this time, especially as Sidebottom features more obscure conquests and locations. The central location of the story, Calabria in Southern Italy, proved to be a fantastic and interesting setting, especially as this region of Italy contained two distinctive social groups, the Roman settlers and the original inhabitants. Due to their historical support of Hannibal during the Punic Wars which saw them forced to give up their lands, the locals are treated as second-class citizens by the Romans, who use them as slave labour. This adds some extra drama and intrigue to the story as these local tribes get caught up in the paranoia and despair around the hunt for the murderer. I also really appreciated Sidebottom's examination of the Roman invasion of Greece that the protagonist fought in. This is one of the more obscure conflicts from Roman history and the author provides a detailed account of the causes, battles, and eventual consequences of the conflict. I deeply enjoyed exploring this period in the flashback chapters, as there were some detailed and powerful battle sequences which featured some distinctive clashes between Greek and Roman military styles. Throw in some Greek and Roman mythology as a potential cause for the murders or the protagonists' actions, and you have quite a brilliant historical tale. These grim and bloody historical elements blended perfect with the darker story that Sidebottom was telling and it was absolutely fascinating to see how they were incorporated into The Return's compelling, multi-genre style.
Overall, The Return was an epic and complex novel that continued to showcase Harry Sidebottom's amazing talent as a writer. This fantastic novel ended up being one of the more unique historical fiction books I have ever read and I deeply enjoyed the cool combination of classic Roman history and darker crime fiction elements, especially when shown through the eyes of an extremely damaged protagonist. This book comes highly recommended, and I cannot wait to get my hands on Sidebottom's latest novel, The Burning Road.

KPMG | welcoming a green future
Located next to Brussels Airport are the new headquarters of KPMG Belgium, a company providing audit, tax and consultancy services. The so-called PassPort building, designed by Jaspers-Eyers Architects, offers heaps of natural light and reflecting materials, an atrium with indoor greenery and, most importantly, a BREEAM Excellent certification. This energy-efficient building, devoted to the wellbeing of its occupants, corresponded perfectly to KPMG's green philosophy. They are now occupying the right half of the building.
Contrary to their previous workspace – a classic American-looking environment with fragmented offices, insufficient light and blue carpets – the new space had to be open and sustainable. "We wanted to create a domestic business environment using sustainable materials," Ingrid Sitters, Facilities Director at KPMG Belgium, elaborates. On the 4th floor, acting as a meeting place for KPMG's clients and partners, an eyecatcher was required. This ultimately resulted in an unexpected, but intriguing, mix & match of carpet tiles.
A green and happy workplace
When Jaspers-Eyers Architects proposed a biophilic design that complemented the PassPort building, interior designer Natalie Schoonjans was tasked with developing the concept, using sustainable materials. Her idea was to make a fluid transition between three modulyss carpet tile collections – Moss, Leaf and Willow – that would run dynamically along the curved lines of the building. These three patterns, part of the Handcraft collection, explore the relationship between nature and craft in an organic design bringing earthy tones. Each design differs a little from the other, and can thus be combined in a perfect textural puzzle. "At KPMG," Ingrid Sitters explains, "we opted for a calmer pattern around the workstations, and a more intricate texture for the aisles."
Supporting their green philosophy, the chosen carpet tiles should not only bring a sense of calm into the office, but should also be sustainable. So, when learning that Moss, Leaf and Willow are made of 100% regenerated ECONYL® yarn (derived from recovered fishing nets and other waste materials), have recycled content in the backing, and even include the CO2 emissions reducing CO2RE initiative, KPMG could tick all the boxes.
After having moved into their new offices, KPMG happily welcomed a new work ethic. "There's a shift in mentality," Ingrid Sitters explains, "being at the office means that I'm meeting my colleagues." A beautiful example of how an open workspace can inspire interaction and collaboration amongst employees.
We wanted to create a domestic business environment using sustainable materials.
Creating an eyecatcher
On the 4th floor, where the meeting and lounge rooms are located, KPMG wanted to do something completely different to captivate their clients. In contrast to the calm, biophilic design of Moss, Leaf and Willow, these areas were given a vintage charm with the modulyss Patchwork collection. "When we saw the samples," Ingrid Sitters tells us, "we thought 'wow, this is it'." The Patchwork tiles instantly gave the interior a cosy and welcoming feel with warm and neutral tones and a quirky pattern.
KPMG, ambitious to lower its carbon footprint, also decided to offset the installed Patchwork tiles with the CO2RE project, even though it's not standard. This made the production of the chosen carpet tiles CO2 neutral.
The facts – KPMG and CO2RE
For the whole KPMG project (including the new offices in Antwerp and Hasselt), an impressive 103 tonnes of CO2 emissions were reduced. The CO2RE initiative enabled KPMG and modulyss to purchase 20 energy-efficient cookstoves, which made a positive change for 20 families, or about 100 people in Kenya, via the Paradigm Project. This in return saved 279 trees because the new stoves, in comparison to the old cooking fires, use up to 60% less wood as fuel.
Wondering how this works? The process is a simple one.
CO2RE is a carbon offset initiative in partnership with CO2logic that is standard on the Handcraft collection (Moss, Leaf, Willow and Grind). But, just like KPMG did, it can be requested on all the modulyss carpet tile collections. Once the project's carpet tile production is finished, the greenhouse gas emissions are calculated and turned into a CO2 equivalent for which credits are purchased. With those credits, modulyss supports the Paradigm Project in Kenya. This initiative provides clean cooking stoves to families who, as a result, suffer less from indoor cooking smoke, don't have to walk for miles to collect wood, and spend less money on fuel.

About 60 million people in the United States suffer from insomnia with most of them continuing to live with sleep disorder.
Insomnia has symptoms like unable to fall asleep, sleeping for short periods of time, unable to concentrate in any active the next day and irritability.
Doctors usually prescribe drugs for the treatment of insomnia which should be taken for a short periods of time to avoid dependence. You should not drive after taking insomnia medication as it might be difficult to concentrate. You should take these insomnia medications along with practicing good sleeping habits.
It leads to various other health disorders like obesity, diabetes, hypertension, heart disease and depression. The U.S. Surgeon General indicates that about $15 billion is spent on healthcare related to insomnia annually with an estimated $50 billion loss in productivity. Insomnia medications are divided into three categories- the over-the-counter products containing antihistamines; the prescr iption medications – benzodiazepines and antidepressants.
Ambien: This drug though effective, works only for a short period of time and people tend to wake up after a few hours of sleep. The new form, Ambien CR helps you to sleep for longer periods of time.
Lunesta: Lunesta also induces sleep quickly and you can sleep for 7 to 8 hours in a stretch.
Rozerem: The USFDA has given approval to the New Drug Application (NDA) for Rozerem (ramelteon) 8-mg tablets. This drug is more effective than other insomnia medications as it targets the sleep-wake cycle and does not induce sleep by depression of the central nervous system.
It is prescribed for long periods of time and this is the only prescribed insomnia medication which does not cause any form of dependence or abuse.
It has not been labeled as a controlled substance by the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA). All other insomnia medications fall under Schedule IV controlled substances by the DEA. Rozerem is also the first prescription insomnia medication with a new therapeutic mechanism of action in 35 years.
Sonata: This insomnia medication is active in the body for a very short period of time helping you to fall asleep on your own. It does not cause grogginess.
Benzodiazepines: These insomnia medications like Halcion, Restoril remains in the body system for longer periods of time. They also treat sleep disorders like sleepwalking and night terrors. They however, tend to make you groggy as well as cause addiction.
Antidepressants: As most of the cases of insomnia are related to depression, antidepressants like trazodone (Desyrel), are effective insomnia medications.
Over-the-Counter Sleep medications like antihistamines are also effective as they help inducing sleep.
Recently, research findings indicate a new short term dose of a drug named zolpidem extended-release which has been a very effective form of treatment for insomnia.
Clinical trials of this drug of dosage 12.5 mg, taken for a period of three to seven nights a week for about six months has proven that it results in considerable improvement in sleep onset and its maintenance helping in improved concentration among the patients.
