An Individual walks into the cafe... Someone...'human', but such features on this individual almost seem divine, the odd, luminous glow that spreads off from this individual, giving a warmth similar to sunlight. The tall, slender figure is draped in what appears to be a single, smooth dress of white with silver sleeves at first glance, but further sights show the sleeves to have edges and ridges from shoulder to cuff, as if the plates on articulating armor, each one engraved with that incandescent gold that circles around each individual gem that is embedded into each plate, one more exotic than the next, the white dress giving off a soft shine, swaying softly with the person's steps into the shop. It is noticeable that the ends of the dress flow over the cafe's floor, not droop and drag, but quite literally float over while covering the wearer's feet, while the person's hands are sheathed in gloves of night's darkness, yet the only thing revealed is a soft, gentle face with slight feminine features, eyes of an emerald hue, and pure white hair that drapes down those gentle shoulders, pass the backside to just above the ankles.

Brian Harrison is the former aide to Department of Health and Human Services Secretary, Alex Azar. Harrison, who has no formal education in medicine or public health but has recently served as Azar's chief of staff. As reported by Reuters, Harrison was disparagingly referred to 'the dog breeder' within the White House, because from 2012-2018, Harrison ran his family's labradoodle breeding business.
Despite his lack of knowledge, background, and education in anything relevant to the matter, Azar appointed Harrison to head up daily efforts in response to Covid-19.

Eric Saward (; born 9 December 1944) is a British radio scriptwriter who worked for the BBC as a television script editor and screenwriter on the science fiction series Doctor Who from 1982 until 1986. He wrote the stories The Visitation (1982), Earthshock (1982), Resurrection of the Daleks (1984) and Revelation of the Daleks (1985).

Early life
Saward was born to a father who was an engineer at de Havilland in Hatfield, Hertfordshire. He was raised in Welwyn Garden City. He cites David Mercer, Brian Moore and Harold Pinter as early influences.

Career

His career as a scriptwriter began with drama for radio while he was working as a teacher. Later he was able to cross into full-time writing. He was approached by then Doctor Who script editor Christopher H. Bidmead to submit some ideas to the series on the strength of a recommendation from the senior drama script editor at BBC Radio. He received a commission to write the story The Visitation. This in turn led to his appointment as script editor on the recommendation of Antony Root, who had briefly replaced Bidmead. In addition to his role as script editor, Saward also wrote the television stories Earthshock, Resurrection of the Daleks and Revelation of the Daleks.

He has said in interviews that he also performed uncredited writing duties, over and above that normally expected of a script editor, on The Awakening, The Twin Dilemma, Attack of the Cybermen and The Trial of a Time Lord, amongst others. Not all of these claims have been substantiated by other sources.

Saward also wrote the 1983 short story Birth of a Renegade in the special magazine published by Radio Times at the time of The Five Doctors (1983), the 20th Anniversary Special' (and Starlog Press in the United States) and the 1985 radio play Slipback which was broadcast on Radio 4. He wrote the novelisations of The Twin Dilemma and Attack of the Cybermen, as well as those of The Visitation and Slipback, for Target Books' Doctor Who range. Earthshock was novelised by Ian Marter. Saward eventually wrote novelisations of both of his Dalek stories, which were published in 2019.

Doctor Who producer John Nathan-Turner and Saward aroused controversy in 1985 because many of the stories of Colin Baker's first season in the starring role as the Sixth Doctor contained numerous scenes of graphic violence and darker themes, which many commentators felt was inappropriate for a programme aimed at a family audience (the season featured acid baths, hangings, cell mutation experiments, executions by laser, cannibalism, poisonings, stabbings, suffocation by cyanide and a man having his hands crushed). Disapproval came from members of the general public, some Doctor Who fans, and BBC 1 controller Michael Grade publicly criticised the violence featured in the season and gave it as one of his reasons for putting the series on an 18-month hiatus from 1985 until 1986. Saward defended these scenes, saying they were intended to be dramatic and to warn audiences against real-world violence.

Saward had a sometimes strained relationship with Nathan-Turner, which gave rise to occasional tensions behind the scenes. When asked in July 1988, "If you could go back and start again, what would you change?" he replied, "the producer". Saward often objected to Nathan-Turner's insistence on hiring novice Doctor Who writers, which led to Saward having to work hard, not always successfully, on unsuitable scripts submitted by inexperienced contributors. Saward was eventually able to bring veteran writer Robert Holmes back to the series and they became friends before the latter's death. Saward's working relationship with Nathan-Turner deteriorated further. He had disagreed with Nathan-Turner's casting of Colin Baker as the Sixth Doctor and, following the 1985 hiatus, problems peaked during the production of The Trial of a Time Lord in 1986 when he resigned as script editor before completing the season's scripts. He subsequently denounced Nathan-Turner in an issue of Starburst.

After resigning from Doctor Who, Saward's continued an association with the series. In the 1990s, he wrote linking narration for Doctor Who audio releases of missing episodes and later appeared in interviews on DVDs of his serials. He also contributed a short story to the Big Finish Short Trips collection. Saward has not worked in British television since leaving Doctor Who but he has written for German radio drama. In 2020, Saward made his first foray into the comic book medium with the eponymous limited series Lytton, centred on the character he created for the Doctor Who serials Resurrection of the Daleks and Attack of the Cybermen.

Personal life

Saward lived in the Netherlands for three years, where he was briefly married. Saward's long-term partner is Jane Judge, who was the BBC production secretary for the Doctor Who office when he became script editor on the series. They have been in a relationship since then. He had previously been in a relationship with fellow writer Paula Woolsey, who was credited (as Paula Moore) with writing the Doctor Who serial Attack of the Cybermen (1985). Saward has two daughters, Natasha and Marielle.

Femoral-Acetabular Impingement involves a deformity of the hip joint that limits normal range of motion. Though it can be caused by trauma to the hip or by the repetitive movements of certain athletic activities, FAI is typically caused by improper bone growth in either the femoral head or the socket in the hip joint. Since not all bodies are alike, slight variations in anatomy can leave some people predisposed to the condition. There are two types of FAI, Cam Impingement and Pincer Impingement. In many cases FAI is caused by a combination of both types.
FAI caused by an improperly shaped femur (thigh bone) is called a Cam Impingement. It occurs when the femur's head grows into a shape that is unevenly rounded. Certain movements can cause the extra bone to catch against the edge of the socket, damaging the cartilage and labrum (a ring of cartilage that surrounds the socket of the hip joint).
FAI caused by an improperly shaped socket is called a Pincer Impingement. It occurs when extra bone grows along the socket's rim or when the socket is not angled properly, allowing the socket and the femur to impact abnormally.
Symptoms can include sensation ranging from a dull ache to a sharp pain, often in the front of the hip but also in the buttocks or side of the thigh. The hip may pop or catch and the pain may increase during physical activity or after periods of prolonged sitting or walking.
The symptoms of hip impingement may include the inability to move freely without pain, joint stiffness, pain in the hip or groin, inability to put weight on your leg on the side of your injured hip, stiffness and swelling in and around the hip area.
The main goal of treating hip impingement is to relieve pain, improve hip mobility and overall quality of life. Reaching this goal includes improving the function of the hip through controlling pain. Dr. LaReau's treatment plans can involve rest, use of a cane to take weight off the affected hip, nondrug pain relieve techniques to control pain, loss of excess weight, exercise, over-the-counter medications to control pain, surgical intervention and rehabilitation.

"Land Tenure, Land Use, and Long-Term Research: The Case of El Yunque, Puerto Rico"
Megan Raby (University of Texas)
Historians of science have not taken land seriously enough. Since the spatial turn of the late 1990s, scholarly emphasis on the geographies of science has become commonplace. At the same time, the history of science shares increasing intellectual territory with environmental history. Nevertheless, our field has only scratched the surface when it comes to core issues of concern to geographers and environmental historians: land tenure and land use. The history of science in El Yunque forest demonstrates why we should pay attention not just to space, but to land. Today a US National Forest and the location of the Luquillo Long Term Ecological Research (LTER) site, El Yunque was a Spanish Crown Reserve before the 1898 US invasion and occupied by Taíno into pre-Columbian times. It is most famous as the site of Howard T. Odum's Rain Forest Project (1962-1970)–– involving the experimental irradiation of a portion of the forest––which has overshadowed its deeper and more complex history of scientific use and control over the land. El Yunque helps to reveal how field scientists come to terms with the land- use histories of their research sites, how they negotiate for the long-term use of field sites, and how their own activities shape landscapes. This paper approaches fieldwork as a form of land use, one that must be seen as contiguous with a landscape's past and geographically adjacent uses, and one that must also be understood within larger social and legal structures of land tenure.
"A Tangled Legacy: Biodiversity and Novel Environments"
Anita Guerrini (Oregon State University)
Although the landscape at the Coal Oil Point Reserve in Santa Barbara County, California, is often presented as an example of a natural, even a pristine, environment, in fact it is largely a novel or at best a hybrid environment. Over 8000 years of human habitation have left abundant evidence of disturbance, but the landscape we see today is largely the result of the past 150 years of human activity, some of it by scientists. Yet the novel environment that has resulted is remarkably diverse, and by many measures, quite successful in ecological terms. This paper will examine the relationship between biodiversity and novel environments, and the clash of values between two visions of history. Restoration efforts at Coal Oil Point wish to return the area to an unspecified largely prehuman past, while historians and some ecologists wish to acknowledge past human presence and accept the current hybrid state for what it is: a natural environment deeply imprinted by human culture.
"Saving Evolution in the Galápagos Islands"
Elizabeth Hennessy (University of Wisconsin)
Since the mid-twentieth century, the Galápagos Islands have been protected as a "natural laboratory of evolution." Over the past 50 years, naturalists have worked to "conserve evolution," as some have put it, in this place where Darwin found inspiration for his theory of natural selection. But just what does it mean to save evolution? Based on oral histories and archival research, I examine how Galápagos conservationists translated scientific rhetoric celebrating Darwin's link to the islands— used to justify the new Galápagos National Park and Charles Darwin Research Station in 1959—into actionable conservation policies. To save processes of "natural" evolution in this isolated "laboratory," conservationists focused on the health of endemic species as proxies of past evolutionary history—most notably the islands' giant tortoises, dispersed on different islands and volcanoes across the archipelago, and understood as exemplars of evolution by adaptive radiation. Scientists thus made saving evolution a problem of ecological restoration to be solved by breeding giant tortoises and cleaning their island habitats of introduced predator and competitor species, including goats, rats, and pigs. By breeding tortoises and killing goats, conservationists sought not only to restore island ecosystems to a past state, but also to conserve a mythologized narrative about Darwinian history. While both tortoise breeding and invasive species eradication have been major conservation success stories, I argue that even their success demonstrates the limitations— conceptual, ethical, and ecological—of this approach to saving evolution in a world where isolation is a thing of the past.
"'The Charm of Oxford:' Wytham Woods as a Scientific Site and Source of 'Mental and Spiritual Refreshment'"
Georgina Montgomery (Michigan State University)
In 1945 A.G. Tansley declared that "the British landscape owes its diverse charm, partly…to the variety of physical features in hill and valley, plain, plateau and peak, river and lake." He went on to describe the "combination of cultivation with half-wild and wild country" as a jewel in Britain's crown "for nowhere is there a greater variety of rural beauty." It was these aesthetic qualities of Britain's rural landscape that "touch[ed] one of the deepest sources of mental and spiritual refreshment." (Tansley, Our Heritage of Wild Nature, 1945) Beauty, and our spiritual connection with outdoor spaces, also informed how a diverse range of scientists and so-called amateurs studied the bats, badgers, blue-tits, voles, deer, and other species who made Wytham Woods, Oxford, their home. Just 5 km due northwest of Oxford city, Wytham Woods – a 4 km2 patch of woodland - has served as an ecological laboratory for the academics of Oxford since the inception of the University. Within this setting – whose charm was as beyond description as that "of a great symphony, or of a great poem" – scientific icons like Charles S. Elton conducted long-term research on animal populations. However, expertise was also held by the foresters, woodsmen, agriculturalists, and socalled amateurs who also studied the diverse species who lived in and shaped the woods. This talk will examine the role of aesthetics, scientific expertise, and local and national politics in how various species were understood and reconfigured during decades of ecological study.

Art market regulation? Here's why not

Law makers, politicians and critics want to bring the art market to heel.
But they are not helping us or themselves in their misguided demands
Art has developed as such a strong alternative asset class in recent years that the debate over direct market regulation has become increasingly heated.
Where money looms large, ethics can play an important part in providing a practical solution in the marketplace for avoiding trouble, building confidence and ensuring stability. Clear standards and the adoption of best practice are essential building blocks towards this goal.
They are particularly important in the international art market because however much the authorities or vested interests might want to legislate, history tells us that comprehensive direct regulation is largely unworkable and serves only to damage markets while failing to prevent crime.
As art market lawyer Pierre Valentin argued at September's Art Business Conference in Westminster, the establishment of the Conseil des Ventes in 2000 as a regulatory body to oversee the French auction market did nothing to prevent the emergence of the huge corruption scandal among the 'cols rouges' porters of the Hôtel Drouot, Paris's centre for auctions, in 2009.
In the UK, attempts to get to grips with stolen and looted art via the establishment of a centralised Home Office database 15 years ago fell apart because, having backed the plan after much deliberation, the Government refused to finance it, Scotland Yard soon faced other priorities after 9/11 and international co-operation proved more difficult than anticipated.
At a more prosaic level, anti-corruption policy meant that officers across the UK's police forces assigned to dealing with art theft were reassigned after 18 months in the role – just as they were beginning to establish contacts and develop an understanding of the issues.
History tells us that the political will and financial commitment are just not there
Where was the political will then? And, in reality, where is it now?
Britain is among the top three most successful art markets in the world. Politicians wanting to tinker with that will have to face a number of home truths Valentin also highlighted in the regulation debate:
Regulators tend to be bureaucrats who lack market knowledge;
Those in charge of enforcing compliance tend to be poorly paid and resourced, with the result that monitoring standards often reflect this;
Regulators cannot keep up with the pace of change; and
The myriad of variations across international borders make it all but impossible for global market regulation to work effectively at a national level.
Much of the unpopularity of the European Commission stems from its image as an all-powerful regulator, answerable to nobody, that inflicts unsuitable business-busting rules on member states in the interests of political expediency and so-called 'harmonisation'.
Perhaps the most detailed proposal for regulation in recent months has come from Dr Thomas Christ and Claudia von Selle of the Basel Institute of Governance. Their intermediary report of a self-regulation initiative for the art market, entitled Basel Art Trade Guidelines, argued that the current level of regulation and compliance was "insufficient".
"With some competitors engaged in unethical or illegal behaviour, operating profitably while acting with integrity and ethics is increasingly difficult," they concluded.
The detailed proposals correctly identified many of the issues that trouble the market, but, as is so often in such reports, set out a structure for governance that was simply impractical in a global market where the vast majority of businesses are fairly small operations.
As with EU bodies, the report's proposed governing secretariat (run at Basel by, presumably, those compiling the report) carries all the hallmarks of being yet another self-important and costly institution handing down diktats to a world from which it is entirely detached, and all paid for by business whose trade risks grinding to a halt under its aegis.
Where is the understanding of the needs of small businesses? Of the need to act quickly in a fluid marketplace? Of how to oversee effective sanctions? Of realistic appraisal of art market processes and what regulatory interference buyers and sellers would stand for?
The Basel report does have merits, but it appears to take a rather Panglossian approach to the mechanics of its establishment; just how co-operative would business and government be in funding its requirements?
In fact, taken to its conclusion, one wonders how the work of such a governing body would really differ from direct regulation?
What about the ethical dimension?
Dr David Bellingham, Programme Director for the Masters Degree in Art Business at Sotheby's Institute of Art, launched the Art Business Conference debate on how the art trade can best protect its clients' interests by looking at ethics.
Firstly, you must decide which ethical philosophy you are concerned with, he argued: Pragmatism, Relativism or Utilitarianism.
Before you dismiss his thoughts as highfalutin', his point is that one cannot presume to solve a global problem from a narrow Western perspective. It was an original point, and well made.
I would largely call myself a pragmatist, in favour of practical solutions that follow the rule of law. I'm not without a moral compass, but if an uncompromising moral standpoint does not produce a workable proposal, then what is its purpose?
Emerging markets often focus on relativism, setting aside universal and absolute ethical standards in favour of dealing with things as they are in the specific cultural context. It's a risky approach, though, as oil companies and others have found when falling foul of bribery scandals as they negotiate contracts with officials in Africa and the Far East.
As far as I am concerned, Utilitarianism should play no greater place in the art market than it already does, for instance in blocking the export of cultural objects of outstanding national importance. (Note my use of the word 'outstanding'.) It's no good cherrypicking your favourite clauses from the UNESCO Convention. Follow one and follow all or forget it.
You just have to look at what is happening in Germany at the moment to understand the problem. If passed, its Cultural Property Protection Act will force anyone wishing to export a cultural artefact valued at €150,000 or more and that is older than 50 years to secure an export licence.
The folly of Germany's Cultural Property Protection Act
How does this support the nation's art market? How do you define a cultural artefact? Who decides on the valuation? Who now will export artworks to Germany for sale? Who, in Germany, will have the incentive to become/remain serious collectors? How will Germany retain the cream of its cultural expertise when lucrative careers in New York, Hong Kong, the Middle East and London beckon that do not tie them up in knots?
If this isn't the way to kill legitimate commerce, I don't know what is.
Dr Bellingham concluded his introduction at the Art Business Conference by distinguishing between codes of ethics and codes of conduct/practice. The first are aspirational, the second enforceable.
And here's the rub. Professions tend to foster professional bodies. They help them burnish their credentials, provide a mediating force for clients and, where effective, separate the wheat from the chaff among the professionals.
The art market is no different and it is clear from the conference debate that most see the various trade and industry associations as being central to any form of self-regulation in both established and emerging markets.
However, as we debated on the day, trade associations have inbuilt weaknesses. They tend to rely on their membership for funding and unless they have impressive cash reserves are understandably loath to diminish their numbers, even in the interests of quality control, except in extremis.
Chucking out a powerful member who might turn on them legally would give anyone pause for thought, but expulsions do, on occasion, take place. Publicising the expulsion is all but unheard of for the same reasons noted above, despite the potential benefit of boosting public confidence in the association by showing that it has teeth.
Likewise, the confidential nature of milder complaints, in which the association plays a successfully mediating role, usually means that it cannot publicise that success.
In short, those who run associations are often caught between a rock and a hard place. They must be seen to be acting in the interests of their members, but also in the interests of the public against their members when necessary. They are expected to demonstrate this publicly while being constrained by confidentiality agreements and the risk of actions for defamation.
An OfArt, like OfCom, might get round these weaknesses, but then you are back with the problems of cost, red tape, interference with legitimate interest and so on.
Nevertheless, I suspect that properly developed, the answer does largely lie with associations and trade bodies. They can filter out the undesirables, they do encourage best practice, set out codes of conduct, support members and their clients in resolving disputes and help boost confidence in the professionalism of those members.
The answer is to create incentives for businesses to behave better
This public service 'branding' can be invaluable in helping develop new markets, just as, in China for example, bidders at auction tend to chase classic brand names when buying wine, jewellery and other collectables.
Specific professional qualifications should, in my view, attract preferential treatment when crossing international boundaries, especially into emerging markets that do not yet have the infrastructure for policing their own, as yet undeveloped, set of industry guidelines. Internationally recognised standards in security, packing and shipping should help companies win reduced insurance premiums as well as fast-track processing across borders.
In short, I would like to see more carrot than stick in promoting best practice. There has been far too much of the latter in recent times and, as another speaker at the conference, Robert Hiscox, pointed out, insurers are effective at back-door regulation by refusing cover to the dodgy.
Establish your kitemarks and then show business how it can use them to promote its brands and save money.
Competition in the market is primarily about client service these days. The best way of making ethics work on a global basis in this context – notably in emerging markets – is to make them pay.

Looking Back to See Forward – President Biden's Regulatory Agenda for Trucking
Many in trucking will be interested to learn President Biden's regulatory agenda for trucking. Of course, it won't be the President himself setting this agenda; it will be the new Secretary of Transportation and the new Administrators of FMCSA and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). Much of the Biden Administration's regulatory agenda for trucking can be readily forecast by looking back at the Obama Administration efforts in 2016 that were shelved in 2017 by the Trump Administration. For example, the Trump Administration withdrew the following four Obama-led DOT rulemaking actions:
Increase in the minimum liability insurance limits
Mandatory use of speed limiters
CSA-based safety ratings; and
Sleep apnea screening criteria for medical examiners to screen drivers
It's very likely these rules that were shelved by former President Trump will be front and center on the DOT-FMCSA agenda under President Biden, especially considering the Democrat-led House of Representatives passed a bill in Summer 2020 that included direction to the DOT to complete rules on each of these four issues. That bill did not pass the Republican-controlled Senate in 2020 and, therefore, didn't make it to the President. But it contained a host of other Democrat policy priorities for trucking, like mandates for automatic emergency braking on all new large trucks and stronger rear underride guards for truck trailers—two more topics likely to be on DOT's trucking agenda. Where the Trump Administration shunned new trucking mandates, the Biden Administration is expected to embrace them.
