While racing at Buttonwillow Raceway two weeks ago, I also instructed a student in a Cayman GT-4 and wanted to share some thoughts about the GT-4 on the track.
After recently driving a GT-4 on the street (GT-4 Test Drive), it was fun to get a chance to be out on the track in the GT-4 (even as a right seat instructor). My student was relatively new to track driving with only one day of previous experience.
I'll start by saying that the GT-4 is incredible. It has a wonderfully solid feel and everything about the car inspires huge confidence in the driver.
To cut to the chase, in the hands of a track newbie, the GT-4 laps times would have placed it solidly in the Spec Boxster field (albeit, somewhat towards the rear of the field). Sure, the GT-4's 385hp evened out the playing field against the 201 hp 986, but the real equalizer was the electronic drivers aids – they were absolutely incredible (and possibly depressing at the same time, depending on your point of view).
During the first session, the student was gaining confidence and picking up the pace as he learned the line. Then he approached a turn way too fast and turned in way too early. I was thinking that this was probably going to result in the driver slamming on the brakes at turn entry and probably provoking the rear end to come around and we'd do a big slide or even spin. Instead, the car cleanly adjusted the line, bringing the rear end back expertly around, and the driver accelerated out of the turn successfully. I was a little bit in awe.
In the subsequent sessions, I learned that the electronic aids (enhanced PSM with ABS, ASR, ABD, EDTC, pre-filling of brake system, and brake assist) do an amazing job of making a new performance driver look like a much more experienced driver - repeatedly the car successfully managed the dynamics when we'd have been in the dirt in a 986.
As an instructor, I found this to be a double-edged sword: on one hand, the student was able to drive safer and go faster with the driver's aids and in doing so, he had a n incredibly great time and learned what his car could do on a track.
On the other hand, he might not have learned as much as he could have because of repeatedly relying on the car for assistance. In other words, his driving was a bit sloppy and the car made up for it - but was he the better for it?
This brings to mind the question of what comprises a great high performance driving experience? Is it learning to heal and toe? Is it learning corner entry and exit technique? Is it learning threshold braking?
Or is it just about having a great time driving your car in a way that challenges your skills and provides a huge level of thrill and entertainment?
I can see both (all?) sides of this discussion, so the best answer that I will venture is that each of us has to answer that question for ourselves.
First off - let me say I want a GT4 SO badly.
Ultimately it depends on what you want to get out of going to track days. If you want to go a couple times a year and have fun doing it - well the fact you can buy a car that allows you to do that with little experience can be a good thing.
However - if you want to use HPDE's to become a better driver and move into more advanced groups, well they are going to be a hinderance in the long run.
I started doing track days with the Audi Club 10 years ago. All beginners have to go through class instruction as well as doing in car exercises. At that time I was instructed to turn off ESP in my pretty highly modified TT. When doing the slalom, I had forgot to turn off ESP for the first two or so runs and had picked up speed pretty well. Then I turned off ESP and went out and proceeded to fish tail through the entire course. Sure taught me about electronic intervention. I did all my track sessions with ESP OFF. We don't allow beginners to turn them off on track now. We allow them to do it in the exercises. However - intermediate or advanced drivers can turn them off but only after discussing it with their instructor. Now we have to contend with the auto-braking features and other electronic sensors which take over driving the car for you. They pose an even greater probem on track.
Personally - I think it's important as an instructor to discuss stuff like this with your student so they can get an understanding of what they are doing and what the car is doing as well as what their long term goals are on track.
Oh and did I mention how badly I want a GT4?
We had this discussion about mid-day as I was becoming concerned that he didn't realize that the car doing a lot of the work. He understood and worked on improving himself in the later sessions.
I had the exact same experience with my GT4 driver. I had a couple of moments when I thought the car rear would come around, but was saved by the electronics. My seat is used to what a spec boxster would do.
Very interesting discussion, and I can relate from the standpoint of having been a flight instructor. It may not apply here, but when you're teaching a newbie to fly, you begin in a very basic machine with no special aids or electronic assistants. Once the student shows proficiency, then you move up to the next level of complexity. It's a process that has worked for me in both military and civilian aviation. We justified this learning strategy by reminding students that systems, especially complex electronic ones, can and do fail. When everything is working as it should, a chimpanzee could fly the airplane. I used to tell students they don't get the paycheck for flying a perfect jet -- it's when stuff starts breaking down that you earn your money.
Skip Barber takes the same approach, and that's why I keep returning to them when I want driving instruction. You begin with a bare-bones Miata on the skidpad, then autocross, and then finally, the racetrack. Even then, I can tell you that the first time your ABS fails in an MX-5, it's a real eye-opener, especially at the end of a long straight leading to a hairpin.
This is what concerns me about all of these electronic nannies. My granddaughter could probably get a GT4 around the track quite competently when everything is working. But when PSM fails...?
Sounds like you had it covered. Also sounds like you had a good student. I've a couple good ones lately - after having way too many know-it-alls at a couple events.


Jolene Sutton is an assistant professor in the biology department at the University of Hawai'i at Hilo. Her research interests are in evolutionary genetics, population genetics, conservation biology, immunology, and genetic engineering. She received her master of science in biology from Acadia University, Canada, and her doctor of philosophy in zoology from the University of Otago, New Zealand. She did her postdoctoral research in the biology department at UH Mānoa from 2013-2015. She joined UH Hilo in January 2016.
Sutton is doing two different research projects in her lab focused on improving conservation efforts of native Hawaiian birds.
"Together with our collaborators, our group has identified that two areas that we believe are important for protecting Hawaiian birds: 1) understanding the genetics of rare species, and 2) reducing the spread of the diseases that are causing their decline," Sutton says.
One of the lab's projects works directly with the 'alalā, or the Hawaiian crow.
"We use conservation genomics to help the recovery of one of Hawai'i's rarest endemic birds, the 'alalā," Sutton says.
See related story: Collaborative research team completes gene sequencing for the Hawaiian crow.
The 'alalā has been extinct in the wild since 2002 and currently has a very small population at the Keauhou Bird Conservation Center in Volcano. Without conservation efforts other Hawaiian bird populations will easily decrease dramatically over the years and eventually become extinct as well.
The second project done by Sutton's lab affects mosquitoes and therefore also indirectly affects the native Hawaiian birds.
"We are developing techniques to control mosquitoes, and the diseases they spread to birds," Sutton says.
Mosquitoes are not native to Hawai'i. Since they were introduced in 1826, mosquitoes have killed off many native bird populations by carrying diseases such as avian malaria and avian pox. Native birds are especially susceptible to these diseases because of their limited exposure after living in isolation on the Hawaiian islands for hundreds of years.
To prevent further destruction of the native bird population, Sutton's lab is making it harder for southern house mosquitoes (Culex quinquefasciatus) to reproduce by using what she calls a "technique like birth control for mosquitoes." This technique has been successful in other places and uses a type of bacteria, called Wolbachia, which naturally occurs in many insect species.
If there is less offspring then there are no more mosquitoes to carry on the avian malaria and avian pox.
The Wolbachia work is a collaboration between Sutton at UH Hilo and Associate Professor Floyd Reed at UH Mānoa. The researchers recently received financial support from the Hawai'i Department of Land and Natural Resources for the project.
Sutton doesn't do all this work on her own. She has students at many levels helping her, including undergraduate and graduate students. From isolating DNA, analyzing data, running experiments and maintaining mosquito colonies, students perform many different tasks.
Both projects have also had a lot of help from various organizations such as UH Mānoa, Hawai'i Department of Land and Natural Resources, and the United States Fish and Wildlife Service.
"These projects are collaborations with several local, national, and international partners," Sutton says.
"The types of research we do can help answer many conservation management questions, and it is important to make the best decisions possible based on good information," Sutton says.
Conservation work is important because without it many more species of birds could be lost forever. However, Sutton is optimistic.

By taking advantage of economies of scale and putting effort into learning more about their customers, higher education institutions could improve their efficiency and minimize costs.
The following interview is with Jeffrey Camm, department head and professor of operations, business analytics and information systems at the University of Cincinnati's Lindner College of Business. The higher education industry is undergoing a period of significant change, as institutions are being expected to improve their service of students with fewer resources at their disposal. The only answer to that riddle is to become more efficient. In this interview, Camm discusses the issue and explains how efficiency challenges have been handled in other industries.
1. What are some of the most significant areas of inefficiency higher education leaders struggle with in institutional management?
There's a lot of pressure on presidents and boards of trustees to control costs, and not surprisingly so, because the cost of higher education if you look at the last 10, 15 years, has far exceeded inflation. There's extreme pressure to bring the cost of higher education down. A lot of the focus on efficiency is cost driven and, if you think about how universities work, especially state universities, you know they try to be all things to all people. They each offer the whole spectrum of degrees and majors, both graduate and undergraduate. There's a lot of overlap. One of the toughest challenges is, from a cost point of view, for presidents to think about what is going to be our main thrust. It's very difficult to not be all things to all people in higher education, whereas in industry, it's very easy. Industry picks its area and runs with it; it optimizes the product line it offers to consumers.
Some other areas might be simple things like, how are you purchasing what you need to run your institution? Are you smart about how you're purchasing and looking for quantity discounts? Are you efficiently using energy in terms of smart classrooms and that sort of thing, and then there are also other things like the cost of instructional materials, the cost of textbooks — those are skyrocketing.
2. How can higher education leaders benefit from supply chain optimization, a tactic other industries have used to reduce costs?
A big thing in supply chain efficiency is really around collaboration. If a company has suppliers, they buy from those suppliers, then they transfer that material into a product and they push the product typically out to a distribution network and then it's pushed out to the retail level. There are a lot of efficiencies that can be gained just by understanding the supplier and understanding the customer.
[To be efficient], you would segment slow-moving goods from fast-moving goods. Fast-moving goods are things there's a lot of demand for. In higher education, that might be a degree in business. A slow mover might be a degree in something like philosophy or history, which on most campuses has a relatively small number of majors. Tying it back to consumer goods, the company will typically not have slow-moving items in every one of its distribution centers because it's a slow-moving item so you'll centralize it so that when demand does occur for it, you know it's just held in one spot and you know how to get it out there.
How does that translate to higher education? Take the state system of Ohio or any big, well-populated state. Should you have — in a state system— philosophy and history as one of your main products at every campus? Every campus probably needs philosophy and history, but do you need a major at every one of those campuses? There's inefficiencies if you have a major that's relatively small and you have to offer all the major courses, so maybe only one state school in the state system has a major in philosophy and another has a major in history and then if a student within the state wants that major, they go to that particular university rather than duplicate all those courses for a relatively small number of majors at each location.
Another good example from supply chain is contracts and purchasing. You'll see collaboration going on between companies. If they're purchasing the same thing, they'll purchase a higher volume and get a lower cost and share savings. In a similar way, higher learning institutions can essentially band together and try to get efficiencies in terms of the purchasing of goods, and you're starting to see some of that in state institutions in particular.
3. On a larger level, what could higher ed leaders learn from other industrial leaders when it comes to the more effective use of analytics and data?
We did a study here at the University of Cincinnati to look at [whether] differential tuition made sense. We have here some colleges that are world famous. We have a conservatory of music that's very well known and a college of design, architecture and planning that's always ranked in the top five nationally. Our president at the time wanted to know if we could charge differential tuition by college, so for high-demand colleges, could we charge a higher tuition for those than some of the colleges that were in lesser demand? You can actually use data to get price elasticity. We did a study that essentially found how demand would change by college. The idea [was to mimic] what they would do in industry; you would differentiate your price based on demand as opposed to making price uniform.
Differential pricing is very big now. You're seeing it in sports and other places. [It's been] the case in airlines for a long time; what you pay for a ticket on an airline depends on a lot of things [such as] the demand for seats and when you're flying. Dynamic pricing is one thing.
Another thing in terms of analytics that higher ed could do is around better understanding the customer. You have a lot of alumni and a big thing right now in higher ed that's actually a revenue generator is this idea of lifelong learning. You might have 20,000 alumni out there who have a warm spot in their heart for your university. Wouldn't it be great if you could find out the kinds of things they want to learn about after they get their degree and offer online courses? How do you get those alumni, how do you understand what they want — what's known as the voice of the customer.
Institutions and systems should take advantage of economies of scale in such areas as purchasing and degree offerings to maximize efficiencies and minimize costs.
Institutions need to gain a better understanding of their products and the needs of their students/customers to ensure they're adequately serving them.
I'm troubled by Camm's claim that institutions are being inefficient when they offer the same program as another institution. "Efficiency" shouldn't be the only consideration of institutions; "access" is equally important. Institutions tend to offer the same programs so that students have choice in where and how they pursue postsecondary education. What concerns me about the recent interest in institutional efficiency is how devoid it is of a human element. When we just look at the bottom line, we risk overlooking vulnerable students.
It's good to see someone finally address the issue of academic efficiency. For too long, we've been tiptoeing about in our conversation about institutional efficiency, focusing on areas like food services, parking lots or other operational elements, while ignoring the elephant in the room: academics. There's only so much you can cut on the operational side before you necessarily have to address the academic.
I disagree with the comment above that it's an either-or, that either an institution offers every program or it's exclusionary to hordes of students. There are ways to organize multi-institutional partnerships so that institutions can realize some efficiency in their academic operations while providing students with comparable access to programming. We certainly have the tools (e.g. online education) to achieve this. It's a conversation worth having.

Judges to rule on Marie's plea for assisted suicide
Tim Healy
A WOMAN in the final stages of an incurable and debilitating disease has asked the High Court to rule whether she has a constitutional right to an assisted suicide.
Marie Fleming (59), from Co Wicklow, is in the final stages of multiple sclerosis and past the point where she could end her life by her own hand, but wants to establish the right to do so with the assistance of someone else.
She already has difficulties swallowing and speaking.
A specially convened division of the High Court -- comprising president Mr Justice Nicholas Kearns, Mr Justice Gerard Hogan, and Mr Justice Paul Carney -- will hear her case on December 4.
While suicide is not illegal, it is an offence under the Criminal Law Suicide Act 1993 for a person to be an accomplice to such an act and attracts a jail sentence of up to 14 years.
Ronan Murphy, for Ms Fleming, said yesterday that she was challenging the constitutionality of that law insofar as it interferes with her rights to autonomy and dignity.
He was seeking an early date for the hearing of the case because she is in the final stages of MS and past the point of ending her life without assistance.
She would like to end her life in the near future, but cannot do so without such assistance given the 1993 law, Mr Murphy said.
Ms Fleming, a former UCD law lecturer, seeks an order declaring Section 2(2) of the 1993 Act invalid under the Constitution and incompatible with the European Convention on Human Rights.
Ms Fleming's action is aimed at sparing her partner and full-time carer, Tom Curran, the threat of imprisonment because he had said he is prepared to assist her in ending her life.
Mr Curran, an IT professional, is the co-ordinator of the Irish branch of Exit International, an international end-of-life information organisation that campaigns for the legalisation of assisted suicide.
Mr Curran earlier said that Ms Fleming, who is wheelchair bound and requires round-the-clock care, "may never exercise the decision (to end her life), but I am willing to go to prison if needs be.
"It would give Marie such comfort, such peace of mind, to know that I will be there for her and that she will not have to suffer needlessly."

It is unique to you and is what separates your business from all of its rivals. It's the difference between Nikes and a pair of almost identical trainers you've never heard of.
Brand DNA is something that any good copywriting agency will look at during the planning stages of content production for your website or social media channels. If you're not sure what your brand DNA is, we can help you identify it with a number of relatively simple questions.
1. What one thing makes your brand special?
What do you want to be known for? Some companies make their millions by offering unbeatable value to their customers. Others put more emphasis on delivering exceptional quality, exquisite luxury or unparalleled levels of customer service. Whatever it is, the thing that marks you and your products or services out from the rest should be at the core of your brand DNA.
2. What values are integral to your business?
Around this nucleus should be placed further strands of DNA that give your brand its character. What is important to you? Are you passionate about ensuring that you have only a positive impact on the planet? Will you insist upon perfection even as the millionth order rolls out? Are you the company that cares deeply about customer satisfaction?
3. What benefits do you try to offer all of your customers?
To build yet further depth and really hit home what you have to offer, it is necessary to zero in on the specific benefits that you can provide to your customers. When we know what these benefits are, our product copywriters can really get to work selling them to your customers.
4. Where have you been in the past?
Every brand has a unique story that illuminates their origins. When people are dealing with a company, particularly a service-based one, they want to know where it all started. Colouring your brand DNA with a little history gives you the opportunity to further demonstrate your core values and showcase the skills and experience of your team.
5. Where would you like to go? What is your vision?
People like businesses that aspire to certain things and that have a clear vision of where they want to go. Steve Jobs' vision for example was to put more computers into the hands of everyday people – a vision that has quite literally been realised in the form of the iPad. Your vision doesn't need to be quite as groundbreaking or grandiose, but it should be just as compelling.
Talk to us to find out how we can help you bring your brand DNA to the forefront, and remember to follow our blog for more insights.

Resuscitating the NHS
Atula Abeysekera
Atula Abeysekera offers a five-point plan for keeping the NHS alive
Our policy recommendations are not radical, but they are incremental innovations. We are confident that they will achieve cost savings, improve efficiency and productivity to streamline workflow and foster collaboration to harness renewable energy of patients, carers, volunteers and social care services and million or more frontline NHS staff. Our objective is to decrease lengths of in-patient stay; reduce emergency readmission rates and reduce number of repeat diagnostic tests and follow-up and broadly help NHS England to implement its 'Mandate'. Our proposals are:
1. Think digital
The world will be a different place in five years' time at the pace of technological innovation. The objective is to make more productive healthcare professionals and better acquisition of data for operational and decision-making. It will make better and safer hospital experience for patients with enhanced satisfaction. Accuracy and availability of patient data held in disparate legacy systems will hinder NHS England's objective to increase the use of technology to manage health and care. As the world is about to enter the 'second machine age,' some few practical low cost innovative solutions are:
• Buy or develop in-house app (or apps) for hand-held devices (mobiles, tablets) so that doctors can access real-time dashboards of patient data and clinical results in a secure system in one platform. This app(s) should allow seamless integration next generation healthcare applications and would be readily be able to compare best practices within the NHS and around the world. It should utilise artificial intelligence techniques and must be future proof and aim to help workflow and collaboration.
• Use artificial intelligence technology to cleanse the data every time a patient contact is made. It should also be used as an initiative to 'validate' patient static data held in a number of legacy systems.
• Allow wider email/SMS access to patients to contact NHS and care system professionals, which is commonplace in Denmark. Email access to patients is not obligatory in the UK, despite being endorsed by the UK Department of Health and the Royal College of General Practitioners. We support the NHS Mandate that "everyone will be able to have secure electronic communication with their GP practice with the option of e-consultations becoming much more widely available by 2015". Buy or develop in-house app (or apps) for hand-held devices (mobiles, tablets) so that doctors can access real-time dashboards of patient data and clinical results in a secure system in one platform.

We support the NHS Mandate that "everyone will be able to have secure electronic communication with their GP practice with the option of e-consultations becoming much more widely available by 2015".
2. Think small-scale commercial Innovation in front line services
The establishments of clinical commissioning groups (CCGs) and health and wellbeing boards and academic health science networks are all good initiatives to promote 'freedom to innovate' at local level. However, we feel that real innovation will come when NHS interact with practical risk takes in the local community –small to medium sized companies who may or may not have a health care background. We propose:
• To create innovation hubs comprising of front line NHS and wider Care system professionals, in partnership with local SMEs. These enterprises, which account for nearly 99% of all businesses, have to innovate to simply survive. Yet NHS has effectively used their innovation and risktaking skills to reshape the health care sector and thereby reducing the burden on the state.
• To allow access to commercialise any new innovation where the rewards are shared with investors. The idea is to harness and reap rewards from entrepreneurship spirit in the NHS and the wider health care services.
3. Think quality of product design and services during innovation
Use specialist skills of design experts during prototyping and testing stages in order to create simple, practical, future proof, sustainable and easy-to-use low-cost products. For example, develop a simple tool providing a warning of ward hygiene and cleanliness for people entering a hospital.
4. Think of a reward scheme to encourage entrepreneurship
We support the NHS Innovation and Challenge Prizes to encourage, recognise and reward front-line innovation and drive spread and adoption these innovations across the NHS. Over the last four years, these prizes have helped to identify and spread innovations, promote a culture of invention and drive adoption of the best ideas. Despite this success, we feel that the NHS England could expand the prize scheme and link it to remuneration. We propose:
• Implementation of a reward system to pay for those who successfully bring ideas and products so that risk-taking can be encouraged.
5. Think always to reduce error rates in order to foster innovations
There is already a database of patient safety incident reports submitted by organisations across the NHS, National Reporting and Learning System (NRLS), specifically for the purpose of learning. This triggers action to help address the identified issues/risks through the provision of advice and guidance such as patient safety alerts. However, there is not a single incident reporting and learning platform, promoting innovation that meets the current NHS delivery model. We propose:
• Creating a national register of Human Factors failures and learn from failures to identify areas of innovation.
Finally, the Government's policy on the NHS should encourage 'open innovation' to discover and develop 21st Century healthcare innovations with collaboration from small businesses and individual entrepreneurs. Failure to do will result in a missed opportunity for the country as a whole.

The Microsoft Office applications can be customised to use a different colour scheme and, in the case of Office 2013 and 2016, a background. The background is purely aesthetic, but the colour scheme may make using the Office applications easier for some people.
To apply either a Colour Scheme or Background, go to the File tab and Options. There are drop-down lists for both. However, if you have 2013 or 2016, you can go to the File tab and choose Account and you'll find the drop-down lists there too (a bit easier to get to and you can preview them, too).
For more information, take a look at New Horizons' Microsoft Office training courses.

PTW safety is an absolute priority for the motorcycle industry and the police. Over several decades, industry has made considerable efforts to develop technologically advanced vehicles with enhanced safety characteristics. Police and industry have also taken the lead on road safety campaigns, supported government activities and promoted pre and post licence test training among users, as well as developments in roads infrastructure and other specific activities. This effort has been instrumental in substantially reducing the number of fatal collisions involving powered two and three wheeler users in the UK.
The latest data from the DfT (2015) shows that fatal casualties have risen by 3.4% over a new 2010-2014 baseline. Serious casualties are steady and all casualties have risen by 2.39%. These figures are not welcome and clearly indicate that the approach to motorcycle safety over the last few years is not working. This Framework instead contends that the traditional focus on casualty reduction campaigns needs to be augmented by taking a holistic view of motorcycles as transport and working via command transport policy to reduce rider vulnerability and improve access (as has been done with cycling). This will not only improve safety, but will also 'unlock' the potential of motorcycling as a transport mode on the UK's congested roads.
However, the figures above do represent an extremely short term view. It is also worth considering the long term trends, as these tell us much more about how motorcycle safety has progressed. Motorcycle deaths were at their lowest since records began in 1926 between the years 2012 and 2014 (average of 332). The 365 recorded deaths in 2015 are still the lowest recorded in any of the 74 years before 2010.
Historically, it can also be seen that casualty trends seem little affected by sometimes large changes in the motorcycle parc and number sold per annum (both up and down). This demonstrates that the oft-claimed connection between increasing motorcycle usage and an increase in casualty trends does not exist in any meaningful way.
But the 2015 figures do reveal a number of reasons why a fresh approach to safety is needed. The reduction in the all-important casualty rate per mile travelled has also slowed, with only a 2.06% decrease in the casualty rate over 2014 but a rise of 3.88% over the new 2010 – 2014 baseline.
Worryingly, the motorcycle percentage of all road user fatalities remains a concern. Motorcyclists comprise 21.1% of all road deaths, despite being only 1% of road traffic. The rate of death and injury reduction is showing signs of slowing. Industry and police are also concerned that the level of resources and direct interest in motorcycle safety from the Government has also reduced.
These are early signs that the long term trend may be stalling, with this being a major factor that prompted the development of this Framework. Industry and police are also concerned that the level of resources and direct interest in motorcycle safety from the Government needs to be improved. It is notable that the latest edition of the DfT's 'Road Casualties Great Britain' did not contain a notable focus on motorcycle safety, indeed RCGB used to be a comprehensive publication that has now been replaced with a series of factsheets and downloadable tables. There is a worrying lack of in depth analysis in this new format. This means that the core statistics had to be obtained by cross referring several tables within the document.
This is a cause of great concern. The use of motorcycles across the UK is growing and will continue to grow over the coming years as a result of different factors, one of the most important of which is increasing urbanisation and the expansion of major cities. As a result of this, UK citizens will increasingly turn to mobility options that avoid traffic congestion, cut journey times and are easy to park. Additional factors driving this process will include affordability compared to public transport, journey efficiency and practicality (which cannot always be offered by walking, cycling and public transport on its own), fuel-efficiency and the fact that motorcycles offer door-to-door mobility.

Karen at Lavender and Lovage has picked the very fun theme of "Scarborough Fair" for this month's Cooking with Herbs challenge. She doesn't require you to use all four of the herbs listed in the song in order to qualify, and in the recipe that I've already linked up, cheddar-sage biscuits, I only used one of them.
But it was merely a coincidence that the biscuits had sage in them. I would have been making them anyway on Canadian Thanksgiving and blogging about them here. My true intention for Cooking with Herbs was always to go the full mile, and make oatcakes flavoured with parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme.
You see, I love oatcakes. And very early on after I arrived in England, I tried some of the Duchy Originals made with rosemary and thyme. I've always enjoyed their shortbreads so much—but I didn't know that they could do the savoury bit as well!
The thin, crisp cakes were just delicious, the perfect little treat to eat with a wedge of cheese at lunch or alongside a cup of tea in the afternoon. And they were even better than shortbreads in one respect: they aren't sweet, so you never have to feel guilty about eating one (or two or three or however many you end up nibbling away . . .
I'd been intending to try my hand at making them at home ever since then, and when I saw Karen's Scarborough Fair challenge, I immediately knew that it was merely a matter of adding some parsley and sage to a recipe and giving it a go.
I enjoyed these oatcakes so much. I made them thicker and more crumbly than the Duchy Originals, which, with all due modesty, I consider an improvement. My only regret about this recipe is that I didn't make a double batch . .
In addition, of course, to Cooking with Herbs, I'm also linking this recipe up with Casa Costello's Bake of the Week.
In a medium-sized bowl, stir together the oats, flour, sugar, salt, and soda.
Using your fingertips, rub in the butter until the mixture resembles damp sand.
Stir in the herbs and then mix in enough water to bring the mixture together into a soft, crumbly dough.
Divide the dough into two equal portions and place them on an ungreased baking sheet.
Using your fingertips, flatten the two balls of dough into thin rounds, about ¼-inch thick. Cut the rounds into six wedges each.
Place in the oven and bake until golden and firm to the touch, 25 to 30 minutes.
Store oatcakes in an airtight container at room temperature for up to five days.
This was the first time I ever made oatcakes at home, although I have made crackers a few times before. It really is something I ought to do more. They're so simple to make, and lots of fun!

Lessons in Gates memoir on civilian-military ties
The tell-all book by former defense chief Robert Gates reveals how President Obama dealt with a military he distrusted. Other nations, such as Egypt, need such lessons in civilian rule.
Reuters/file
Then-Defense Secretary Robert Gates acknowledges applause as President Barack Obama and then-Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Admiral Mike Mullen (obscured) participate in Gates' farewell ceremony at the Pentagon in 2011.
A new memoir by former Defense Secretary Robert Gates helps illuminate the difficulty a democracy and its military have in keeping the peace – with each other. According to his book, "Duty: Memoirs of a Secretary at War," President Obama was at times suspicious of his top generals, believing they sought to limit his options in Afghanistan.
Despite a long history of civilian rule over the military, the United States still grapples with maintaining trust between elected leaders and the top brass – and resolving the values that each brings to their respective roles in safeguarding the country.
Mr. Obama now stands in good company. Many US presidents have had to deal with military defiance. Lincoln had his McLellan to fire and Truman his MacArthur. In 2010, Obama let go Gen. Stanley McChrystal over published complaints that seemed to criticize the president. George W. Bush clashed with an Army general over troop levels in Iraq. Bill Clinton faced military opposition to his intervention in Bosnia.
These cases of the US resolving civilian-military tensions serve as lessons for other nations still dealing with a military hand in government. They give the US credibility in nudging nations away from "rule by gun" to "rule by ballot."
A good candidate for US influence right now is in Egypt. After ousting an elected government last July, the top military officer, Gen. Abdel Fattah el-Sisi, hints he may run for president under a proposed constitution written to favor the Army. Despite a desire for order among Egyptians, Sisi needs to understand that the Army must have a plan to return to the barracks, not govern the country.
In Myanmar (Burma), the US did play a role in that country's recent move away from military rule toward elected government. But such a move remains tentative and uncertain. The Army's power still lurks in the shadows. In nearby Thailand, political turmoil against an elected government has the US and others warning against a military overthrow, as has happened too often in the past.
Perhaps the most difficult case for the US is in Pakistan, whose military often pushes elected leaders around. The US relies on the military there in the struggle against terrorists, which may be a factor in how much Washington supports the country's shaky democracy. Even now, Pakistan finds it difficult to put former Army chief Pervez Musharraf on trial for treason for imposing emergency rule in 2007.
Sometimes a military intervenes to create a democracy, as happened in the Philippines in 1986. Even in such cases, officers find it hard not to see themselves as democratic tutors, lingering on the sidelines to influence the course of events.
Why do military-civilian tensions persist? One reason is that a democracy relies on the value of individual self-governance, expressed through democratic ideals, while soldiers are trained in selfless discipline and the hierarchy of command. When an Army sees a society in political chaos, its pride in knowing how to keep order can lead it to believe it can control civilians.
The late scholar Samuel Huntington referred to this as "a bit of Sparta in the midst of Babylon." His solution: The military must maintain high levels of professionalism in military matters, leaving questions about the morality of war or the ideals of governance to civilians.
Much of the Gates book is controversial, such as the timing of a memoir by someone who has worked for a sitting president. But by revealing how a president and the military had to come to grips with each other, the book does a service for the US, and perhaps the world.
[Editor's note: An earlier version had the incorrect month for the government overthrow in Egypt.]

Exactly why is GM stock going up today (Thursday) after falling more than 23% in 2014?
Here's what's moving General Motors (NYSE: GM) in the markets...
Dear General Motors (NYSE: GM),
It's been a really bad 2014. Between recalls and lies, we're not surprised GM stock's dropped more than 25%.
Here's how you did in Q3 earnings today – and how we think readers should play your stock right now…
By Tara Clarke, Associate Editor, Money Morning • @TaraKateClarke - July 24, 2014
This morning (Thursday), General Motors Co. (NYSE: GM) reported second-quarter earnings. The market didn't like what it saw - GM stock sank by 4.46% to close at $35.74 per share.
Here is the big surprise from GM earnings, and how our expert recommends playing General Motors stock right now…
By Michael A. Robinson, Defense + Tech Specialist, Money Morning • @Robinson_STI - July 11, 2014
Our warning column on General Motors Co. (NYSE: GM) really seemed to resonate with you folks.
It generated a lot of emotion, eliciting some personal experiences from and even a few suggestions that we recommend "shorting" the stock.
But it wasn't just our subscribers who responded to that analysis. We also received a very strong response from GM itself. Take a look…
I cannot overstate what a big role General Motors (NYSE: GM) has played in my life. So, it saddens me when I see the headlines about recalls over the past few years - this year alone, about 29 million worldwide.
Many on Wall Street and in the mainstream financial media are saying this is a "Buy" opportunity.

Critical Incident at PHU stood down
The critical incident at Portsmouth Hospitals University NHS Trust (PHU) has been stepped down today (9am, Monday 16th January).
The Trust has been operating in critical incident mode since the 29th December to ensure that patient safety is maintained throughout a very prolonged period of pressure, additional beds open across the hospital and high volumes of patients requiring emergency care. This means that it has been difficult to provide all our services for our community.
Medical Director Dr John Knighton said:
"We are able to step down the incident thanks to the hard work and absolute focus by colleagues and teams across the hospital over a lengthy period. We must also pass on our thanks to our health and social care partners who have supported us, particularly with discharging patients in a timely way and avoiding admissions to hospital.
"The stepping down of the incident is a positive move in the right direction, but the hospital remains incredibly busy and we are focused on a number of actions to ensure that we can continue to provide timely care, in the right setting for our patients. This includes immediate handover of patients from ambulances; ensuring we move patients who require ongoing care and treatment from the Emergency Department to the most appropriate place; a continued focus on timely discharge and avoiding the need for admission where possible.
"We are very grateful to the local community, patients and their families for their patience and support during the last few weeks. Due to the pressure we have been under, our patients may not have consistently had the best experience that you expect from us. But our focus throughout has been on patient safety."
How you can continue to help:
· Only use the Emergency Department for life-threatening illnesses or injuries. Please use other services such as the Urgent Treatment Centres, NHS 111 online, your GP or pharmacy.
· Please help us get patients home when they are ready. A list of key can actions can be found here - https://www.porthosp.nhs.uk/ready-to-go.htm
· Treat our staff with kindness and respect. We are doing everything we can to care for you as safely and quickly as possible.

Please use the front door or the back double glass doors to enter and exit the building.


After a lively presentation from Daryl Plummer, Matt Calkins, Appian CEO, took the stage to discuss his vision for Appian and BPM in 2012.
Native Mobile is growing in importance. In the past 5 years, sales of iPhones, iPads and Android devices have skyrocketed. Native mobile apps are easy to use and enable universal participation.
Appian's cloud BPM version has been out for 3 years and is stable and portable. It enables anyone to move from on-premise to a private or public cloud with complete security & control.
Social BPM for Work – it's the no-training interface. It's teaching, portable, scalable, and fun.
Calkins discussed the value of a BPM platform for creating multiple applications. The average Appian customer has 10 applications, but it's Appian's goal to reduce the number of application silos. Because the applications use one unified environment, it's easy to share records, actions, and users across the board. This reduces cost while increasing value.
The theme for 2012 is data, which was highlighted when Appian World attendees got their first look at Appian 7. It has a beautiful, user-friendly interface which highlights news, tasks, records, reports and actions. It's people-centric, with robust data integration and rich user profiles. Attendees will learn more about the capabilities of Appian 7 on Day 2, in VP of Product Marketing Malcolm Ross's presentation.
Calkins finished his talk with a preview of Appian tempo, the new licensing model for enterprise-wide social collaboration, which will go live on July 11. It will allow access to social, mobile, and data. Enterprise clients who install it within 12 months will get a free upgrade.

InterSystems TrakCare Supports Luye Medical Group's Strategic Plans to Create a World-Class Hospital Network
News & Events > News > InterSystems TrakCare Supports Luye Medical Group's Strategic Plans to Create a World-Class Hospital Network
BEIJING, 18 December, 2015 – InterSystems, a global leader in health information technology, today announced that Luye Medical Group has selected InterSystems TrakCare® to support its growth plans, ensure its hospitals meet the highest of international standards, and provide patients with high-quality medical services.
Luye Medical Group is a new medical group with plans to open more than 20 specialist hospitals and clinics in Yantai, Chongqing, Shanghai, Chengdu and other locations. TrakCare will enable the group to unite several specialties within one shared information environment, including rehabilitation, women's health, dentistry, health screening, geriatrics, and oncology.
"Luye Medical Group's goal is to achieve the highest possible standards for medical care and all of our services are certified by international accreditation organizations," said Xiaohua Ma, CIO of Luye Medical Group. "As a unified system TrakCare enables all our staff to use one system – one login, one environment – so they can efficiently collaborate, easily train new staff across departments, and enhance the patient journey. We believe that InterSystems' global experience can also support us to provide better services in China."
TrakCare is one of the world's leading Electronic Medical Record (EMR) systems and is recognized by KLAS research analyst firm as one of the fastest growing EMR systems in the international market*. It will enable patient information to be seamlessly collected and shared throughout the Luye Medical Group, giving clinicians a continuous and complete view of patient information. TrakCare allows healthcare professionals to work with patient records on any Internet-connected device, at any time and anywhere. Sophisticated workflow capabilities enable clinicians to view important priorities, make informed decisions and collaborate with care teams – improving productivity and patient outcomes.
By deploying a data center and implementing a single instance of TrakCare, Luye Medical Group will share all patient information throughout its branch hospitals. A unified database is also more efficient for maintenance, implementation and upgrades, with differences between Luye's hospitals accommodated through local configuration. For example, TrakCare can allow each hospital to set its own prices or set different fees for different types of patients.
A highly scalable, unified database also allows the group to quickly deploy TrakCare in new hospitals. Luye Medical Group can define data common to its hospitals, such as medical items, drug information and billing information, thus saving time and improving the efficiency of healthcare personnel.
"InterSystems is proud to enter into a partnership with Luye Medical Group. Providing an international standard healthcare information system will help to accelerate the long-term growth plans of Luye Medical Group in China," said Luciano Brustia, InterSystems Country Manager for China. "In recent years, China's private hospitals have seen rapid development, and many have already deployed TrakCare to support their development. InterSystems will continue to provide leading international technology and services to outstanding hospitals in China to help them provide patients with a high-quality healthcare experience."

Q: Proof that the integral of an adapted process has a zero quadratic variation Take an adapted process to a given non tricky filtration and dependent on two "variables", omega (event, not really a variable) and $t$ (time).
By definition adaptation means only measurability with respect to the filtration.
I am unable to prove with discrete sums and limits that the quadratic variation of the integral over $[0, t]$ of the adapted process, at a given omega, is zero.
I can't find any proof of it in books whereas plenty of them just write that the adapted process times $dt^2 = 0$ as if the formal proof (not this recipe) had been given ahead.
The proof is easy when the adapted process is continuous or bounded over $[0, t]$ but when only measurable, I am stuck.
One finds often the CLAIM of a zero quadratic variation of the drift imposed to the original brownian when proving Girsanov.  But not the PROOF with discrete sums, partition steps and limits, if ever.
Any one can help ?
