Protect your organisation from £millions in fines and up to 2 years imprisonment
App, Collaboration, Digital Transformation, Employee Engagement, Featured, Health and Safety, Innovation, Strategy / By Sam Smith
As I am sure you are aware, in February 2016, the Sentencing Council's new definitive sentencing guidelines for health and safety, corporate manslaughter and food safety offences came into force.
According to SHP, 'Ever since the Sentencing Council proposed these new guidelines, the health and safety industry has anticipated a revolutionary impact on the levels of fines compared to those that have historically been handed down for simple health and safety breaches committed by corporate entities.' The maximum fine being a sizeable £20 million and an individual director may receive up to 2 years imprisonment. (K&L GATES)
ConocoPhillips (UK) Limited became the first very large organisation to be convicted and sentenced under the new regime. Although nobody was actually injured as a result of the health and safety breaches, due to a communication breakdown workers were sent to investigate an incident while there was still dangerous gas present.
This demonstrates the dramatic shift in the landscape of health and safety sentencing. A breach which did not result in injury may have previously incurred a fine in the thousands, as opposed to millions, which it was for Conoco.
Whilst most businesses take reasonable action to ensure that stakeholders at all levels, including the board, receives health and safety advice the question that is often unresolved is how are you ensuring that all staff – including the board –are sufficiently trained and competent in their health and safety responsibilities such that personal and corporate risk is minimised?
Ensuring that information, updates and alerts can be easily disseminated; easily accessed; and that feedback and measurement are easy to record are all vital components of successful health and safety program.
mHub makes this process simple. Providing a dedicated application with push notifications allowing alerts and information to be viewed online or offline, it is ideal for office as well as remote or field-based staff. A company's ability to communicate effectively – and measure who has seen the communication – using the mHub app, can help avoid a communication breakdown that may lead to potentially life threatening risk and a corporate breach of the Health and Safety standards .
I'd like to draw your attention to a recent client of ours, the challenges they face in this area and mHub is helping them to minimise risk and ensure compliance.
Case Study: National Gas Distribution
A UK gas distribution company
Poor information flow: The organisation had no consistent or effective means of getting their numerous health and safety policy documents, updates and videos to their field based engineers.
Outdated and inefficient: The engineers struggled to rely on searching through outdated printed versions of the policies. The company had no way of ensuring policy updates were adhered to and that the engineers were compliant.
Limited Connectivity: Their engineers are often working in remote locations with a limited internet connection, making information access more difficult.
Branded Health & Safety app is pushed to engineer's mobile device: secured by Single Sign On and complete with health & safety content neatly organised into channels. Engineers are instantly notified when a new policy is received or updated.
Access to information is quick and easy: Content can be easily found with powerful in-document search. It can be downloaded for offline viewing and the engineers can feedback to collaborate more effectively.
mHub Platform is used: The team can easily create and package digital content. mHub analytics track usage to ensure compliance and that policies have been reviewed.
Operational effectiveness and productivity improve: Fast access to up-to-date information means that engineers are more competent and productive. Critical health & safety information is received and understood, ensuring compliance at all times.
Time is saved: Face to face meetings and training days are reduced. Time wasted searching through hundreds of policies is significantly reduced. Consequently, more time is invested serving customers and delivering revenue.
Teams become connected and engaged: Internal teams can manage and respond to feedback from field-based engineers, continually improving service and productivity.

How To Get GG Sans Font On Discord
Here's how to get the gg sans font on the Discord Desktop app as well as the Mobile app on iOS (iPhone/iPad) and Android.
By Nikita Last updated Dec 12, 2022
The gg sans is a new font that you will see across Discord on Desktop and Mobile apps. If you use the platform daily, you will see a new look but if you don't have it yet, here's what you should know. This is how to get the gg sans font in your chat and how its name originated. Also, if you are curious to know how to change back to the old font, this guide will help.
To get the gg sans font, all you have to do is launch the app/website on or after December 1, 2022 because that's when it will be rolled out to users.
Can't See the New Font on Discord?
If you are using the app on your iPhone or Android, but don't see the new font, refresh the app and check again. Website users don't have to do anything specific – they will get the update instantly.
Also, make sure to have the latest version of the app installed which will have the gg font update. Head to the official page on the app store/play store and hit the Update button to get it. In case you don't have the latest update yet, you will need to wait until it's rolled out. There's a chance that Discord releases patches region by region.
Here's what Discord's new font will likely look like! It will very likely replace the Whitney font, hence we've put the same text but with Whitney as the typeface next to it as a reference (Whitney is in full white, new font is in gray) https://t.co/Bc1bQ4yFcY pic.twitter.com/YBqgrZNUFO

What is the Meaning of the Font Name?
gg sans is a nod to the gaming aspect of Discord – one that gave the platform its initial booming popularity. gg in gaming, as you know, is "good game" that players can say to each other after a match that's played well.
Aside from that, discord.gg is the link that shows up when you share invites to servers, so it's a nice little tribute to that too.
And that's pretty much all there is to it. This font is not an open-source font, which means it cannot be used by anyone other than Discord. It is custom-made for the software and not available for personal or commercial use by others.

Marathon runner dies, A man in his 30s died and four people were put in medically induced comas on Friday after suffering heat stroke and dehydration while running a half-marathon in Israel. The race was run in temperatures that climbed from the 70s at the 5:45 a.m. (11:45 p.m. Thursday ET) start but approached 90 degrees in less than two hours. City officials and organizers of the Tel Aviv Gillette Marathon last week decided to postpone the full race until March 22 because the forecast called for temperatures approaching 100 degrees. The starting time of Friday's half-marathon was moved 30 minutes earlier. Medical personnel said 60 people were tended to by ambulances and 30 were taken to hospitals. Twelve people were listed in critical condition early Friday, with four in medically induced comas, but the number in critical condition had dropped to two by Friday afternoon.

Q: Excel: Passing the current cell as argument when calling vba function from worksheet I'm trying to make a VBA function that accepts a cell as argument and works from there using a variety of Range.Offset. This function will be called in the worksheet cells. For testing I'm using this simple script:
Public Function testPublic(targetCell As Range) As Boolean
   targetCell.Offset(0, 3).Value2 = "Test is successful!"
   testPublic = True
End Function

To see if I can get the cell reference to work, I pass simple references such as C5, but I only get #VALUE! error. Not sure what's wrong with this.
Tried to change Range as Variant, still doesn't work

A: You cannot use a function called as a UDF from a worksheet to update another cell in the worksheet: the function can only return a value to the cell containing the function (an array formula can return multiple values, but again only to the cells where the formula was entered).
For more information see: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/topic/description-of-limitations-of-custom-functions-in-excel-f2f0ce5d-8ea5-6ce7-fddc-79d36192b7a1

A: Try below calling code
If testPublic(targetCell:=Range1) Then
  MsgBox "success"
End If

The function code is as below. Change for ByRef and ByVal as per your logic.
Public Function testPublic(ByRef targetCell As Range) As Boolean
   targetCell.Offset(0, 3).Value2 = "Test is successful!"
   testPublic = True
End Function

Now that it's officially BBQ Season it's time to break out the fresh, light side dishes. This salad combines all of my favorite antipasto ingredients in an easy to eat pasta salad that goes great alongside a juicy burger or brat! It is easy to make, can be served chilled or room temperature and tastes just as good (if not better) the second day! I think olives, red onion and garbanzo beans would be good additions to this recipe as well.

SHOCK STUDY: There Are Neighborhoods In ATLANTA . . . Where 75 PECENT Of The People Who Live Their . . . HAVE HIV!!!
A recent study by the CDC regarding HIV risk had some very UNSETTLING information for those who live in America's southeast, and especially Atlanta. According to the report, more than 2% pf the people in the State of Georgia, and 10% of thecity of Atlanta are infected with HIV. The stude went on to say tht in some areas of Atlanta as many as 75 PERCENT of the people living there, were infected with HIV. Here's how Channel 2 News is reporting oon it:
A recent study released by the CDC shows why that funding is so critical. If you live in the southeast, you're more likely to be diagnosed with HIV than any other part of the country and in Georgia the risk of diagnosis leaps to one in 51. "We should not be having an epidemic of that proportion in a country like ours," del Rio said. "This is not Africa, we have resources." Fulton County now has a new public health director and HIV programs like mobile testing units are more visible around the city. The van travels to ZIP codes with the highest number of HIV cases.

Strange Lunar Brew
By Paul D. Spudis
A year ago, the LCROSS (Lunar CRater Observation and Sensing Satellite) mission team announced the detection of water in the impact plume produced after the Centaur separated from the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) and crashed into the Moon. We now have more detailed information on the water and some other substances detected during that event. Some of these elements and compounds were expected, others are very strange indeed.
Because the spin axis of the Moon is perpendicular to the plane of its orbit with respect to the sun, the Moon's poles get grazing solar illumination. This means that the floors of craters and low areas are in permanent shadow and extremely cold. The DIVINER instrument on LRO measured these temperatures for the first time and found some areas as cold as 25 Kelvin (25° above absolute zero, -273° C), making them colder than the estimated surface temperature of Pluto. Because these areas are so cold, any molecule or atom of a volatile substance that gets into them is trapped. These dark areas are referred to as "cold traps" where, over very long periods of time (billions of years) significant amounts of these elements and compounds might accumulate.
Since water is one of the most abundant compounds found in the Solar System, we expected some accumulation of it at the lunar poles. It was on this basis that scientists have been searching for water ice on the Moon for the past 20 years, using a wide variety of techniques, including spectral reflectance, radar, neutron and gamma-ray sensing and ultraviolet imaging – all techniques done remotely from space. Landing at the poles and surveying the lunar surface to actually see what was there, was next on the list.
A plan to soft-land a long-lived rover near the poles and conduct an extended surface mission surveying polar resources was discarded when the Ares rocket became the focus of NASA's lunar return effort. A smaller mission was improvised to hurl an impactor (the spent upper stage of the rocket that launched the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter) into the polar deposits so the spacecraft could analyze the material shot off into space from the collision. Although this is still "remote sensing" of the deposits, at least the material would be ejected out of the dark, cold regions into open space where we might get a look not only at the water but also some other volatile substances that might be there.
The LCROSS team's published data from the mission reveals a cold witches' brew deep inside Cabeus crater. The finding of significant lunar water has confirmed data from earlier missions, while the ejecta plume from the LCROSS impact reveals more modest amounts of a variety of other substances. The Near-IR spectrometers on the LCROSS shepherding satellite detected abundant water (H 2O) but also hydrogen sulfide (H 2S), ammonia (NH 3), methanol (CH 3OH), methane (CH 4), ethylene (C 2H 4) and sulfur dioxide (SO 2). The uv-vis spectrometer found carbon dioxide (CO 2), sodium, silver, and cyanide (CN). Aboard the distant LRO spacecraft, the ultraviolet LAMP imager detected hydrogen (H 2), nitrogen, carbon monoxide (CO), sodium, mercury, zinc, gold (!), and calcium. But water, present in quantities between 5 and 10 weight percent, is the most abundant volatile substance present.
In lunar terms, this is a very odd association of materials. Whereas we had found these elements and compounds in the returned lunar rock samples (some in vanishingly small quantities), the presence of significant amounts of ammonia and methane is significant; these gases are common components of cometary nuclei. One idea about the origin of water ice at the poles of the Moon is that it is derived largely from comets, which have continually hit the Moon over geological time. An alternative model suggests that most of the volatiles of this cometary debris are lost to space and the water and hydroxyl (OH) molecules found on the lunar surface come instead from the interaction of solar wind hydrogen with metal oxides in the lunar soil. In this model, heat provided by micrometeorite impact causes the solar wind hydrogen to reduce the metal oxides into native metal (like Fe 0) and OH, which attaches itself to mineral faces. This hydroxyl is widespread over the lunar surface and was mapped by the Moon Mineralogy Mapper on the Chandrayaan-1 spacecraft over a year ago.
The newly published LCROSS data showing large amounts of volatiles normally associated with comets strongly suggest that at least some of the lunar water is of cometary origin. However, the detection of large amounts of free hydrogen (H 2) in the ejecta plume supports significant preservation of solar wind hydrogen in the cold traps as well. It appears that both sources contribute to the water on the Moon and more analysis is necessary to determine which process is responsible for what fraction of the deposits. The clear message of the new work is that the processes and history of lunar volatiles are complex and poorly understood. Once again, the Moon shows us that its history, as well as its current state, is richer and more nuanced than we had thought.
The LCROSS results indicate that a variety of useful substances are present in the polar cold traps. Water is our principal object for future resource extraction, being one of the most valuable and readily available substances for spaceflight imaginable (i.e., a life-support consumable, a medium of energy storage and rocket propellant). However, both ammonia and methane have a variety of industrial uses, as well as being ready sources of nitrogen and carbon, two elements essential for the support of human life. Sulfur is also a useful element and appears to be present in fair quantity as both native sulfur and sulfide. Some reports suggest that the high concentration of mercury makes lunar water unusable; this impression is incorrect. Impurities can be removed from harvested polar water easily through the technique of fractional distillation, a common industrial process on the Earth for hundreds of years.
Some of the components of the polar suite are perplexing. For example, silver (Ag) shows a very strong peak in the uv-vis spectra. In lunar samples, silver is extremely sparse, occurring at the parts per billion level. Mercury (Hg) is also rare in lunar samples but it is a very volatile substance and the processes that preserve volatiles in the cold traps would work to increase and concentrate mercury at the poles relative to equatorial areas of the Moon. But silver is not volatile (its melting temperature is about 1000° C), so why would it concentrate at the poles? With such bizarre associations, scientists will be looking over this new data with keen interest. To determine the composition, physical nature and distribution of these deposits, a robotic surface rover needs to be sent into the polar cold traps to take detailed measurements.
Just after it has been relegated to a "been there, done that" status, the Moon again shows us we have a lot to learn about its history, physical state and the potential value of its resources. We must take the initiative to learn more as the Moon is crucial in developing and advancing a sustainable space faring infrastructure.

"Protect Patients First" National Tour Makes Stop in West Virginia
By Tom Hunter , July 12, 2017 06:20 PM
The "Protect Patients First" national tour made a stop in West Virginia on Thursday, July 13. The tour, which launched in early June in Cleveland, aims to inform the public and help persuade senators to reject harmful health care proposals under consideration in Washington.
"Protect Patients First" is a national coalition of groups that includes patients, doctors, hospitals and several leading national organizations that are advocating for better health care. The groups – including AARP, the American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network, American Diabetes Association, American Heart Association, American Hospital Association, American Medical Association, American Nurses Association, Federation of American Hospitals, March of Dimes and their state affiliates – are urging lawmakers to Protect Patients First, and address shortcomings in four main areas: affordability of insurance, access to essential care, protection for those on Medicaid, and protections for those with employer-sponsored health insurance. This event was part of a series that organizers are hosting in states across the country.
You can take action by urging your Senator to scrap the Better Care Reconciliation Act. Call 844-259-9355

Q: NSLog not executing I made a test app for taking photos using a camera button. I'm testing on a simulator, so i cannot take snapshots. But i have created an IBAction method which when called, allows the user to select a pic from the photo library.
This is the method:-
   - (IBAction)takePicture:(id)sender {
            NSLog(@"Camera button tapped");
           UIImagePickerController *imagePicker= [[UIImagePickerController alloc] init];
              if ([UIImagePickerController isSourceTypeAvailable:UIImagePickerControllerSourceTypeCamera])   {
                  NSLog(@"Yes. The Camera is available");
                  [imagePicker setSourceType:UIImagePickerControllerSourceTypeCamera];

               }
               else{
                 NSLog(@"The Camera isn't available. Try thru the Photo Library");
                [imagePicker setSourceType:UIImagePickerControllerSourceTypePhotoLibrary];
               }
            imagePicker.allowsEditing=YES;
            [imagePicker setDelegate:self];

            NSLog(@"Presenting Modal Controller");
            [self presentViewController:imagePicker animated:YES completion:NULL];

         }

In the above scenario, when the method is called (that is when i tap the camera bar button item),the console does not log Camera button tapped message as well as Presenting Modal Controller message.All the other appropriate NSLog messages are being logged as they should be.
 I don't understand how come the runtime not execute these NSLog lines.
There's a similar problem in -(void)imagePickerController:(UIImagePickerController *)picker didFinishPickingMediaWithInfo:(NSDictionary *)info that i face.
Here's the implementation—
     -(void)imagePickerController:(UIImagePickerController *)picker didFinishPickingMediaWithInfo:(NSDictionary *)info{
           NSLog(@"imagePicker called");
           NSString *oldKey= _item.imageKey;
           if (oldKey) {
              NSLog(@"Deleting image having key- %@",oldKey);
              [[BNRImageStore sharedStore] deleteImageForKey:oldKey];
           }

          UIImage *image= [info objectForKey:UIImagePickerControllerEditedImage];

          CFUUIDRef newUniqueID= CFUUIDCreate(kCFAllocatorDefault);
          CFStringRef newUniqueIDString= CFUUIDCreateString(kCFAllocatorDefault, newUniqueID);

          //Use that uniqueID to set our item's imageKey
          NSString *key= (__bridge NSString *)newUniqueIDString;
          _item.imageKey=key;

          //Store image in the BNRImageStore with this key
          NSLog(@"putting %@ in dictionary table",_item.imageKey);
          [[BNRImageStore sharedStore] setImage:image forKey:_item.imageKey];

          //Releasing Core-Foundation objects
           CFRelease(newUniqueIDString);
           CFRelease(newUniqueID);

           [imageView setImage:image];
           NSLog(@"Dismissing Modal Controller");
           [self dismissViewControllerAnimated:YES completion:NULL];
   }

Here. the NSLog messages— imagePicker called and in the third last line— Dismissing Modal Controller are not showing up in the console. Again the runtime doesnt process these NSLog lines.
Am i assuming something wrong, because this behavior is so very weird. What's happening?

A: Check this line of code below:-
#define NSLog if(0) NSLog

If it is mention 0 then your nslog statement will not execute. So make it 1 and check
#define NSLog if(1) NSLog

A:  other than NSLog .. is your app functionality working fine? few statements like NSLog (in   editoe), PO(Console), P(Console) will not work some time, some time these will show wrong values also. functionality is working fine then try to show alert instead of NSLog and check.

Try using the instead of NSLog and check.
#ifdef DEBUG
#define ALog( s, ... ) NSLog( @"\n\n************************ DEBUG ***********************\n Class&method: %@,\n Line of Code: %d\n element Info: %@\n******************************************************************\n\n",  \

[[NSString stringWithUTF8String:FUNCTION] lastPathComponent], LINE, \
[NSString stringWithFormat:(s), ##VA_ARGS] );
#else
   #define ALog(...)
   #endif
use just like NSLog  ex: ALog(@"log is placed");

Why Nokia shouldn't switch to Android
Tech commentators are calling for Nokia to change direction and dump the operating systems Symbian and MeeGo, and jump on-board the Android bandwagon. Here's why this is a terrible idea.
Joseph Hanlon
October 7, 2010 8:09 PM PDT
My daily trawl for the latest smartphone news is being plagued with a recurring theme, an annoying headline that rattles around my RSS feeds like the tiresome reappearance of a spectre in a nightmare: "Why Nokia should switch to Android". Not only do I think this would do more harm than good for the beleaguered global smartphone leader, but it would also have a negative impact for end users as well.
A quick scan of these articles reveals a not-surprising commonality; the suggestion that the sharp rise in popularity for the Android OS and the slow decline of Nokia's global market share should compel the phone company to reconsider its current reinvention and jump on-board the Android bandwagon. Either direction is a gamble for Nokia, but conventional wisdom suggests that the struggling company should follow the recent success enjoyed by Motorola and HTC. Nokia's recently resigned exec Anssi Vanjoki likened this approach to Finnish boys who pee in their pants for warmth in winter: a drastic act for a short-term gain, no doubt followed by discomfort and a bad smell. I couldn't agree more.
US smartphone share for the first half of 2010. (Credit: Nielsen)
The sharp rise in Android's popularity has been documented by a Nielsen study in the US of new smartphone acquisitions between January and August of 2010, showing acquisitions of the platform climbing from 14 per cent to 34 per cent in North America. However, a comparison of global smartphone sales suggest Android only holds 17 per cent of the market, which is closely in line with Apple's 14 per cent and BlackBerry's 18 per cent — well short of Nokia's Symbian, which still maintains 41 percent of global smartphone sales at the end of Q2 2010.
This comparison fails to account for the difference in profitability represented by success in the US versus Nokia's dominance in emerging markets (a key contributor to the 41 per cent global figure), but it does point towards user demand and brand loyalty. Nokia is still a company that enjoys a fantastic public perception throughout Europe and Asia, where most people will speak positively about the Nokia they used as their first mobile phone, and the three or four that succeeded it before they recently switched to an iPhone or Android.
That Nokia has failed to innovate fast enough to remain competitive is plain to see, but if Android's rise is proof of anything, it's that the smartphone users are fickle and hungry for ground-breaking change. If Nokia delivers this change with MeeGo we should see a shift in its fortunes, while we, the users, benefit from having more choice for the next time we go smartphone shopping. Nokia needs a killer new product, not to join the ranks of the Android army and scrap for mindshare against those who are already invested in the Android OS.

5 Keys to Recovering the Purpose of VBS in Your Church
Insights| Church Life & Ministry | Mar 15, 2019
By Jonathan Howe
Ask the kids at your church what the purpose of Vacation Bible School is and you'll likely get a random collection of answers ranging from "free summer daycare for my mom" to "all the fruit punch I can drink and all the butter cookies I can eat."
Those are obviously not the real purpose of VBS. But sometimes perception becomes reality.
In It's Worth It, Landry Holmes tells the story of VBS's origin. Virginia Hawes "wrote and spoke with passion of the needs of the people in the East Side [of New York City], urging listeners to give time and money to reach people 'almost at our door' who needed the gospel, rather than only focusing on international effort."
While she understood the need for international missions, she saw the need for the gospel to reach the kids playing in the streets of her hometown.
That original passion Hawes possessed has been lost in many of our VBS efforts. In our efforts to out-decorate the church down the street, we sometimes forget the original purpose Hawes had for VBS. Here are five keys to recovering that purpose in your church:
1. Make it gospel-focused.
Hawes' ultimate desire in 1898 for starting what became VBS was centered around an illiteracy of the Bible and the gospel. She saw the kids in her city growing up without a saving knowledge of Jesus Christ.
Knowing that this was of utmost importance, she decided to do something about it and began teaching the gospel to as many kids as possible. Is your VBS more about remembering songs and decorating than it is about teaching the Bible to kids?
2. Make it evangelistic.
Again, Hawes' focus was not just about educating the kids from her own church who may have already become believers. She was focused on making new converts. Her heart was to see the lost come to Christ through sharing the gospel with them at VBS.
Do you make it a point to call for an evangelistic response with those old enough to understand and respond?
3. Make it for the community.
Hawes' passion was for her community—kids she saw on the streets every day. She took VBS to them. She cared more about them hearing the gospel for the first time than for those in the church hearing it for the 50th.
See also What Does the Embodied Church Mean for Kids?
VBS can be the largest community outreach event your church does every year if your focus is outward. Is your VBS geared for your church members or for those in your community?
4. Make it convenient.
When Hawes first began her summer program, she started classes in a local beer hall. Participation grew and soon more space was needed so she moved to the local church. But because it was further away from the people, attendance plummeted.
Hawes realized she needed to take the program to where the people were and participation shot up again when she moved away from the church. Convenience now might have more to do with time than location.
Is your VBS convenient for both your workers and those attending?
5. Make it missional.
Many of Hawes' students were from the vast immigrant population in New York City. By reaching kids through VBS, Hawes was reaching the nations. There was a missional aspect to the founding of VBS, and there should be one in each and every one of our VBS programs.
Do you teach and encourage participants to pray for the nations and got the global spread of the gospel?
As you prepare for Vacation Bible School in your church this summer, consider these questions and the original purposes of VBS when it was founded more than 120 years ago.
Those purposes can guide churches to a fruitful VBS that impacts the nations and generations to come.

Bistecca is a brand new steakhouse that just opened up on the street behind İstinye Park. The prime location is one thing, but the restaurant's inviting outdoor area resembling a botanical garden also works in its favor.
The first item on the menu that grabs our attention is the kokoreçcooked over coal fire. This street food staple is notoriously tricky to clean, but we've got zero misgivings about trying Bistecca's version: in fact, it might even be the best address for those who like their kokoreç only mildly spicy. As the image suggests, it arrives with a generous serving size and simple presentation. The burger is also noteworthy thanks to its flavorful bun, chewy with a soft, cake-like center. As you may already have noticed, the prices are quite reasonable at Bistecca, and even the higher-priced menu items like the t-bone steak, Bistecca Lokum and veal chops do quite well in terms of their price-performance ratio.
Bistecca is also working on perfecting a recipe for meat fondue that involves a special sauce made with meat broth, but whether this will start a new food trend we'll have to wait and see. On the dessert front, we're also looking forward to the inclusion of the Adana-styletel kadayıf(fried, shredded wheat-like pastry) served with clotted cream made from buffalo milk on the menu soon.


Project BOOST is accepting applications now through August 30.
SHM's Project BOOST is accepting applications for its 2014 cohort, giving hospitalists and hospital-based team members time to complete the application and receive buy-in from hospital executives to participate in the program.
And this year is the best year yet to make the case to hospital leadership for using Project BOOST to reduce hospital readmissions. More than 180 hospitals throughout the U.S. have used Project BOOST to systematically tackle readmissions.
Accepted Project BOOST sites begin the yearlong program with an in-person training conference with other BOOST sites. After the training, participants utilize a comprehensive toolkit to begin implementing their own programs, followed by ongoing mentoring with national experts in reducing readmissions and collaboration with other hospitals tackling similar challenges.
Details, educational resources, and free on-demand webinars are available at www.hospitalmedicine.org/projectboost.

FCC's 706 Broadband Report Does Not Compute
Yesterday the Federal Communications Commission issued 181 pages of metrics demonstrating, to any fair reader, the continuing rapid rise of the U.S. broadband economy — and then concluded, naturally, that "broadband is not yet being deployed to all Americans in a reasonable and timely fashion." A computer, being fed the data and the conclusion, would, unable to process the logical contradictions, crash.
The report is a response to section 706(b) of the 1996 Telecom Act that asks the FCC to report annually whether broadband "is being deployed . . . in a reasonable and timely fashion." From 1999 to 2008, the FCC concluded that yes, it was. But now, as more Americans than ever have broadband and use it to an often maniacal extent, the FCC has concluded for the third year in a row that no, broadband deployment is not "reasonable and timely."
The FCC finds that 19 million Americans, mostly in very rural areas, don't have access to fixed line terrestrial broadband. But Congress specifically asked the FCC to analyze broadband deployment using "any technology."
"Any technology" includes DSL, cable modems, fiber-to-the-x, satellite, and of course fixed wireless and mobile. If we include wireless broadband, the unserved number falls to 5.5 million from the FCC's headline 19 million. Five and a half million is 1.74% of the U.S. population. Not exactly a headline-grabbing figure.
Even if we stipulate the FCC's framework, data, and analysis, we're still left with the FCC's own admission that between June 2010 and June 2011, an additional 7.4 million Americans gained access to fixed broadband service. That dropped the portion of Americans without access to 6% in 2011 from around 8.55% in 2010 — a 30% drop in the unserved population in one year. Most Americans have had broadband for many years, and the rate of deployment will necessarily slow toward the tail-end of any build-out. When most American households are served, there just aren't very many to go, and those that have yet to gain access are likely to be in the very most difficult to serve areas (e.g. "on tops of mountains in the middle of nowhere"). The fact that we still added 7.4 million broadband in the last year, lowering the unserved population by 30%, even using the FCC's faulty framework, demonstrates in any rational world that broadband "is being deployed" in a "reasonable and timely fashion."
But this is not the rational world — it's D.C. in the perpetual political silly season.
One might conclude that because the vast majority of these unserved Americans live in very rural areas — Alaska, Montana, West Virginia — the FCC would, if anything, suggest policies tailored to boost infrastructure investment in these hard-to-reach geographies. We could debate whether these are sound investments and whether the government would do a good job expanding access, but if rural deployment is a problem, then presumably policy should attempt to target and remediate the rural underserved. Commissioner McDowell, however, knows the real impetus for the FCC's tortured no-confidence vote — its regulatory agenda.
McDowell notes that the report repeatedly mentions the FCC's net neutrality rules (now being contested in court), which are as far from a pro-broadband policy, let alone a targeted one, as you could imagine. If anything, net neutrality is an impediment to broader, faster, better broadband. But the FCC is using its thumbs-down on broadband deployment to prop up its intrusions into a healthy industry. As McDowell concluded, "the majority has used this process as an opportunity to create a pretext to justify more regulation."

Restoring Britain's closed rail lines could reconnect and revitalize hundreds of towns
Much has been said about the devastating social and economic impacts of America's post-WWII love affair with the automobile. Short-sighted urban planners across the country subsequently did more physical damage to the nation's cities in a few decades than all of America's foreign military enemies had achieved in the history of the country.
But the U.S. wasn't alone in this car-crazed planning nightmare.Over half a century ago in Great Britain, the Beeching Report was published, spelling the end of hundreds of miles of British railway lines and stations.
Pretty much immediately, local campaigns sprang up to protest what became infamously known as the "Beeching Axe". For instance, a museum in the center of Wisbech, a Georgian town of 30,000 souls in East Anglia, proudly displays the original manuscript of Charles Dickens' Great Expectations. Those were days in which Wisbech prospered.
Richard Beeching, holding his disastrously short-sighted report.
The frenzy of railway building in the 19th century gave the town three stations. Now it has none. The last passenger train left in 1968, five years after the report "The Reshaping of British Railways" by Dr. Richard Beeching, chairman of British Railways (BR), on the future of rail, which led to the closure of nearly a third of Britain's 17,000 miles of track and a third of its 7,000 stations.
That clinical and ruthless assessment of what was required to put the railways back on stable footing won many admirers in the then-Conservative government.
They embraced Beeching's proposals and were quick to implement his report's recommendations. Few alternatives were offered. Wisbech has suffered economically, as did many others.
Progressive opponents at the time argued that Beeching had paid scant attention to the social importance of the railways. Many argued that the closure of many lines in rural Britain would isolate communities. They were right, maybe even more so than they realized. As a local Labour MP argued at the time, the railways were "a form of social service, which is as essential as the supply of electricity, gas, water and the National Health Service."
British Railways, which from 1965 traded as British Rail, was the state-owned company that operated most of the rail transport in Great Britain between 1948 and 1997. It was formed from the nationalization of the "Big Four" British railway companies and lasted until the gradual privatization of British Rail, in stages between 1994 and 1997. In 1962, it was designated as the British Railways Board.

This period of nationalization saw sweeping changes in the national railway network. By 1968, steam locomotion had been entirely replaced by diesel-electric locomotives (except for one narrow-gauge tourist line). Passengers replaced freight as the main source of business. And, of course, there were the massive closures.
Now, Britain is joining dozens of other countries around the world in recognizing that a healthy, modern rail network is the backbone of a national economy, and that overly car-centric urban planning has been a monumental mistake. Over 50 lines have been reopened.
Ins some parts of the UK, many former lines were resurrected as part of the new "Heritage Rail" sector, while many successful community rail partnerships have also flourished. Elsewhere, disused lines have been repurposed as popular cycle and walking tracks.
UK transport secretary Chris Grayling has announced that more closed rail lines could be re-opened. This would reconnect many British towns and regions, most likely resulting in dramatic economic revitalization.
It is a remarkable new trend. After the war, many thought that roads would rule and rail would go the way of canals. When Milton Keynes—a new town that was the pride of the urban planning profession at the time—was built 55 miles north of London in the 1960s, it was deemed not to need a station. That costly mistake was finally rectified when one was finally opened in 1982.
In 2015 6.6 million rail journeys started or ended in Milton keynes. Traffic on other restored lines has boomed, too. The track that re-opened in 2015 from Edinburgh to the Borders expected 650,000 journeys in its first year. Half a million were made in the first five months.

The proposals, aimed to "reverse decades of decline" in the railways, have been praised as the "rebirth of the railways". Yet huge investment is needed to truly revitalize the railways. Now, as in Beeching's time, Britain's railways are in need of updating. If Britain wants to see a rail system that is both economically viable and socially beneficial, there are some lessons to be learned from the wrongs of past policy.
While there are many rail lines and stations up and down Britain that could bring great benefits if they were reopened. The Campaign for Better Transport has compiled a list of the 12 lines they believes have the strongest economic and social case for reopening:
Ashington – Blyth – Newcastle: A victim of Beeching's cuts, the line remained open to freight, meaning it would be relatively straightforward to reinstate passenger trains. Returning passenger services would significantly improve transport connections in a well-populated area in long-term economic decline. Northumberland County Council is supporting the scheme and reintroducing services will be one of the options in the new Northern Rail Franchise.
Portishead – Bristol: Returning passenger services to the Portishead line would support this fast-growing part of Bristol's commuter belt. The rail link would help tackle road congestion and reduce an hour long car trip during rush hour to around 17 minutes by train. A potential site for a new station at Portishead has been identified and the reopening has now got funding as part of a wider Bristol Metro network, with completion by 2019.
The Worcester to Derby Main Line Railway between Stourbridge and Burton: Connecting Stourbridge, Walsall and Lichfield, reinstating this route would have both passenger and freight benefits. It would reduce road congestion and have the potential to make the controversial 'Brownhills Eastern Bypass' unnecessary, whilst allowing rail freight to bypass congested Birmingham and potentially remove heavy lorries off the roads.
Leamside line: The 20 mile Leamside line in County Durham closed in 1991. The route has great potential for both freight and passenger services offering Durham's 60,000 residents an alternative to the busy East Coast mainline and A1 motorway, and providing a freight link to the Nissan car plant in Sunderland. Reopening the line has been identified as a priority by both Durham County Council and the Freight on Rail campaign.
Lewes – Uckfield: Reinstating this line would allow trains to run directly from west Kent and east Surrey to Brighton's economic and social hub, significantly reducing pressure on the congested road network. It would also offer a diversionary route for the Brighton Main Line, an important strategic element the network currently lacks.
Skipton – Colne: Restoring 11 miles of track would create an additional trans-Pennine rail route linking the West and East Coast Main Lines and connect the socially deprived and depressed areas of North-East Lancashire to the more prosperous West Yorkshire area.
Leicester – Burton-on-Trent: Re-establishing passenger services on this 30 mile stretch of line, currently used for freight, would provide 100,000 people with access to the rail network and reduce pressure on local roads. The line would also provide a tourist route through the National Forest.
Fleetwood – Preston: Reopening the six mile line, closed to passenger services since 1970, along with two new stations would support economic regeneration in an area of 60,000 people and reduce pressure on local roads.
Wisbech – March: With around 30,000 people living in and around Wisbech, it is one of the larger settlements in the country not on the rail network and its isolated position has contributed to its economic decline. Reopening the seven miles of line between Wisbech and March would enable access to the regional centres of Peterborough and Cambridge and support regeneration initiatives.
Totton – Hythe: Closed to passengers in 1966, the growth of many of the towns on this seven mile line, and the resultant pressure on the road network, has created a strong case for reopening. To maximise benefit to commuters a direct link with services to Southampton via Chandlers Ford would need to be established. Reopening costs are not thought to be prohibitive as the line has remained open for freight, serving the Fawley oil refinery.
East-West Rail Link: This would re-establish the rail link between Cambridge and Oxford and improve rail services between East Anglia, Central and Southern England. The western section of the scheme from Oxford to Bedford was approved by the Government in November 2011, with completion expected in 2019.
Bere Alston – Tavistock – Okehampton: This first stage of this line is already subject to a planning application and would link Tavistock with Plymouth and the national rail network, thereby enabling new housing while reducing traffic on the A386 and providing a tourist route to Cornwall and West Devon's mining landscape. A second stage, reopening to Okehampton, would provide an inland alternative to the coastal route for trains to Cornwall.
"Filling in the missing links in our rail network offers the most cost effective way of alleviating congestion, reducing social isolation and improving economic prospects. Rail reopenings have huge local support, are good for business and can offer economically deprived areas a new lease of life. You only have to look at the number of passengers using the new stations and lines to see how viable and popular they are," says Stephen Joseph of the Campaign for Better Transport.
Whether nationalized or in private hands, Britain's railways are still in desperate need of investment, modernization and coordination. Finding the right process for renewal, such as this one, could mean economic rebirth for hundreds of British communities.

You'll probably want to share this comprehensive post with your friends– the 4th of July is just one week away!
Toddland raised their giant American Flag for the 4th year for the 4th. If you don't know where it is, it's the building in the middle of the intersection between Malarky's and Newport Beach BrewCo– you won't be able to miss it if you're coming onto the peninsula from that direction. Special thanks to David Ballard Electrical Company for providing the cherry picker to reach the top of the building with!
The money for this enormous flag was raised by donations from the friends of Toddland (disclaimer: including myself!) totaling no more than $20 each, showing that small donations really can accomplish big things.
Special thanks to everyone involved for bringing about this great Newport tradition!
When: 1pm to 3:30 p.m.
Details: This patriotic-themed parade will start off Collins Island and proceed throughout Newport Harbor. A Harbor Patrol fire boat will lead close to 100 decorated boats through the harbor. The event sponsor is the American Legion Yacht Club.
When: 8 a.m. to 11 p.m. — two hours longer than last year!
Details: Food and live music start at 2 p.m. A beer and wine garden pass is $40. Fireworks start at 9 p.m.
Details: Starts at 9am and ends at a free festival including carnival games, jump houses, arts & crafts and food. Participants are encouraged to decorate bikes, scooters, wagons and strollers and to bring their dogs on leashes.
Details: At the festival, there will be food for sale, and wristbands available for purchase that will allow participation in games and activities.
Fireworks will begin here in Newport (Back Bay) and at surrounding cities at around 9pm. Get to a high spot in order to have the best viewing. From Balboa Peninsula, you can see at least 6 cities from 2 stories up.
NOTE: For people who have fireworks, remember that Newport Beach has banned responsible adults who want to celebrate the birthday of the Land of The Free using fireworks, even including things like sparklers, so be careful out there.
The police will be using a Show of Force on Balboa this year, in an attempt to stop what Diane Dixon describes as "inappropriate celebrations". This will now be the sixth year of the roads NOT being shut down. Expect that there will be a continuing effort to erode and destroy over 100 years of traditional street celebration on Balboa. Do you think it is appropriate to allow cars to drive through tens of thousands of people– most of who probably have had a drink or two (or three)? I believe this is one of the most irresponsible actions our city has taken over the last several years. We ALL know what happens on those roads, and we need to close them for the safety of everyone. Have your voice heard and email citycouncil@newportbeachca.gov to let our city know. This is a huge safety issue being completely ignored in order to accomplish a political agenda.
If you are coming to Balboa Peninsula, consider riding in an Uber, Lyft, or cab. The police will be out, the drunk drivers will be out, and the parking will be absolutely atrocious (it already is).
New users of Lyft can use our code of "SAVENEWPORT" and it will pay for the whopping first $50 of your fare!
New users of Uber can use our code of "Uber4Newport" and it will pay for the first $15 of your fare.
Remember, the Downtowner has been run out of business by Councilwoman Diane Dixon's "trolley" (aka: public bus) idea, so don't rely on them. Dixon's "trolley" will be operating on the 4th, but don't expect that behemoth to be able to navigate in or out of traffic at anything faster than the speed of tectonic plates.
If you have a dog, I cannot recommend more highly the Thundershirt to keep them calm from the noise of fireworks on the 4th. I don't know why being constricted and wearing shirts has a comforting effect on dogs when they hear loud noises– but it does! If you buy them online (look at Amazon or eBay) you can have them by the time the fireworks really hit.
Stock up!!! If you live on the Islands or on Balboa, you know parking spots will be gone this day– even if you wanted to brave the traffic– so use services like Drizly to deliver alcohol, PostMates, Uber Eats, GrubHub, or Doordash for food, or many other services which are springing up throughout Newport. Or, if it comes down to it, simply call a ridesharing company to help you get to and from the store.
In a blatant violation of the 14th Amendment, these fines are tripled on the 4th of July only in the "Safety Enhancement Zone". But hey– we can fight that battle on July 5th. For now, let's celebrate the spirit that our country was founded in, rather than where it is today.
Finally, police from other cities will be enforcing out here, and they don't know the area, the laws, the customs, or the people. Year after year, there are dozens of reports about overly-aggressive police from other cities ticketing and even attacking people from Newport Beach who are obeying the law. So even if you aren't doing anything wrong– be safe out there!
But most of all: ENJOY THE 4TH!!!!

This Shabbat we read the portion of Yitro, the fifth portion in the Book of Exodus.
The second chapter of this Parasha describes the Giving of the Torah, when the children of Israel are given the choice of becoming a kingdom of priests and a holy nation, if they accept the Torah. When their response is positive, Moses goes up to Mount Sinai, and the people gather below and they hear and see G-d's Revelation when the Ten Commandments are given.
Included in the Ten Words is the commandment of 'Zachor et Yom HaShabbat' - 'Remember the Sabbath day and keep it holy.' The Mitzvah of observing the Shabbat is mentioned fifteen times in the Torah. That's more than any other mitzvah except for the one of treating the stranger with kindness.
As you know, these Ten Commandments are listed again in the Book of Deuteronomy when Moses, before the Israelites enter the Promised Land, repeats for them the events of the past forty years, including the great event of the Revelation at Sinai. When you compare the two versions there is a difference between the first and second version as it relates to the Shabbat.
In this week's Parasha, we read Zachor - Remember the Sabbath day and keep it holy, while in the Book of Deuteronomy we read Shamor - Keep the Sabbath day and keep it holy. It would seem that we need both to remember as well as to keep. Our sages explain that Shabbat should always be on your mind, so that when you plan your menu for the week, pick the best for Shabbat. When you dress, remember to save the best for Shabbat.
When we observe the Shabbat, we are witnesses to G-d as the creator of the universe, and we also remember the personal experience we had as the people that was freed from slavery.
We know that there are many levels of Shabbat observance. I believe that the reason that the Torah mentions this mitzvah 15 times and gives us two important reasons for it is to encourage all levels of Shabbat observance. By doing even little things to mark the difference between Shabbat and a weekday, one fulfills the commandment of remembering the Shabbat.
If you cannot make every Friday night special, do it a least once or twice a month, with the goal of observing Shabbat as often as you can. The same can be said of attending Shabbat services and making the Sabbath day a special day in your life.

A sandwich of molybdenum, sulfur and selenium turns out to be deliciously useful for detecting biomolecules.
2D sandwich sees molecules with clarity: Rice University engineers adapt 2D 'sandwich' for surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy
Houston, TX | Posted on May 15th, 2020
platform for improving the detection of biomolecules via surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS).
Using glucose to test the material proved its ability to boost its Raman enhancement factor by more than 100,000 times, which the researchers say is comparable to the highest-reported enhancement factor for 2D substrates.
SERS is an established technique that enables the detection and identification of small concentrations of molecules — or even single molecules — that get close to or adsorbed by metallic surfaces, including nanoparticles. It's often used to detect nanoscale proteins in bodily fluids, helping to detect diseases and determine treatments, and in environmental analysis.
But metallic SERS media often prompt side reactions that create background noise. Janus MoSSe synthesized at Rice is nonmetallic. "This work mainly addresses whether we can enhance the target molecules' signal strength," said materials scientist and principal investigator Jun Lou. "We wanted to know if we could make it stand out from the background noise."
The answer was clearly yes, as Lou and his team reported in Nanoscale.
MoSSe introduced by the Lou lab in 2017 was produced by chemical vapor deposition. Molybdenum sits in the middle with a layer of sulfur on one side and another of selenium on the other; hence the two-faced Janus characterization.
The different electronegativities of each layer make it a SERS superstar, said lead author and Rice alumnus Shuai Jia, a former graduate student in Lou's lab.
"The dipole created between the top sulfur and the bottom selenium lands out-of-plane, and this creates an electrical field a few nanometers beyond the MoSSe," Jia said. That field interacts with molecules that come close, enhancing their vibrational intensity enough to be detected.
The researchers noted tests with MoSSe also detected molecules of the neurotransmitter dopamine and that the substrate should be adaptable to sense other molecules.
Lou said there's room for improvement. "We're looking at hybrids of MoSSe with some metallic nanoparticles, and also trying to enhance the dipole strength," he said.
Co-authors of the paper are postdoctoral researchers Jing Zhang and Weipeng Wang and graduate student Tianshu Zhai of Rice, and postdoctoral researchers Arkamita Bandyopadhyay and Hemant Kumar and Vivek Shenoy, the Eduardo D. Glandt President's Distinguished Professor of materials science and engineering, mechanical engineering and applied mechanics and of bioengineering, at the University of Pennsylvania. Lou is a professor of materials science and nanoengineering and of chemistry.
The Welch Foundation and the National Science Foundation supported the research.

COBH RAMBLERS – 2022 Team By Team Previews!
Cobh Ramblers' 2021 season was as good as over before it ever really got started. The County Cork outfit failed to build any momentum throughout last year and as a result, Stuart Ashton was soon replaced as manager by former Rams midfielder, Darren Murphy. Even the arrival of the former Conference winner with Stevenage failed to fire up the engines at St.Colmans Park as Ramblers finished a lowly eighth in the table.
It should be pointed out, it's far from all doom and gloom at St Colmans Park with the chairman, Bill O'Leary spearheading some stellar projects off the pitch and in the community as he looks to strengthen the First Division clubs ties with local teams and lapsed supporters in the Cobh region.
On the pitch, however, Cobh have an uphill battle on their hands given some of the greater-resourced teams they will once again come up against this season. The unusual challenge of having so many other Munster teams in the First Division this year means Cobh are often battling far greater backed clubs when it comes to attempting to sign players. As a result, Ramblers have had to shop local in the off-season with a mixture of Cork City youngsters and Munster Senior League talent making up the bulk of their business this winter.
While an influx of young talent could help freshen up what looked like a very stale Cobh Ramblers last season, it's more likely to be baby steps for Murphy's boys this season.
BTS PREDICTION: Bottom
STAR PERFORMER: Danny O'Connell (5 goals in 18 last season)
ONE TO WATCH: Nathan O'Connell (Good impact following arrival last summer, still only 20).

3 realistic Kamil Grosicki alternatives that Nottingham Forest should consider this month
George Harbey
Kamil Grosicki's situation at West Bromwich Albion is likely to be monitored closely by Nottingham Forest this month.
The winger came agonisingly close to signing for the Reds in the summer, but his move was rejected by the EFL after the paperwork was submitted 21 seconds after the transfer deadline.
Since then, he's played only 10 minutes of Premier League football, and failed to make an impact in the FA Cup defeat to Blackpool at the weekend.
Grosicki has been spoken about by Chris Hughton of late, and it remains to be seen whether Forest reignite their interest in the 32-year-old this month.
The winger, though, 'definitely' won't join Forest this month, according to Meczyki, with a return to Poland on the cards.
Grosicki doesn't really represent a signing for the long-term, and there could be younger, and just as impactful signings out there for Forest to explore.
Here, we take a look at three alternatives Forest and Hughton should consider this month…
Siriki Dembele
Dembele's future at Peterborough United looks to be up in the air, with the winger recently handing in a transfer request at London Road.
The winger has scored six goals and registered five assists in all competitions this season, and is easily one of the most exciting players outside of the Championship.
A host of big clubs, such as Celtic and Rangers are after him, with Forest also being credited with an interest, and a young, exciting wide option like him could add real quality to the side.
Kwadwo Baah
German-born winger Baah has been catching the eye for Rochdale of late.
The 17-year-old produced a magnificent performance in the 4-4 draw with Charlton on Tuesday, scoring two goals for Brian Barry-Murphy's side at the Valley.
He's now scored three goals in his last four games for Dale, and is clearly a player with a lot of potential.
He's still young and probably wouldn't hit the ground running straight away, but he could be one Forest begin to look at.
If Forest want to stick to the West Brom theme, then Edwards could be of interest.
The 22-year-old has made only one start in the Premier League for West Brom this season, though, and has been left out of the last three matchday squads under Sam Allardyce.
He chipped in with two goals and one assist in 26 Championship appearances last season, and could well be an option for the Reds.
He needs regular game time, he is an exciting wide player and can take people on.
