wedding bells!
Joe Wicks reveals he's marrying Rosie Jones this month and he'd love Bastille to perform after meeting on the Virgin Radio Breakfast Show
By Fay Strang

Updated: 7 Jun 2019, 13:43
JOE Wicks has revealed he's marrying his fiancée Rosie Jones later this month.
The fitness guru let slip his wedding plans as he chatted to Chris Evans on the Virgin Media Breakfast Show this morning – and admitted he'd love Bastille to perform on his big day.
Joe Wicks appeared on the Virgin Radio breakfast show today
Appearing alongside the band on today's show, he told Chris: "I am getting married this month, if Bastille played at my wedding it would be amazing."
Bastille performed a series of songs live including a stunning version of Lewis Capaldi's Someone You Loved.
Joe - aka The Body Coach – announced he was engaged to Rosie in November of last year, just a few months after their daughter Indie was born.
He said on Instagram: "My little family.
He will marry Rosie Jones - who he has daughter Indie with - this monthCredit: Social Media - Refer to Source
He would love Bastille to perform on his big day
"Our 3rd wheel comes everywhere with us and we love our adventures together.
"My Mum and Dad never got married when I was growing up and spent my whole life separating and getting back together and I always thought I didn't believe in marriage."
"But I now know what it means to want to stick together and to love someone enough to want to marry them. I asked Rosie to marry me and luckily she said yes. It's my goal in life to be committed and loyal to Rosie and Indie and always be there for them."
Joe spoke to Chris about his new bookCredit: Dan Charity - The Sun
In September 2016, The Sun exclusively revealed the millionaire fitness sensation was dating former Page 3 beauty Rosie Jones.
They welcomed their first daughter in August of last year.
The online fitness and diet guru rose to fame with his 90-day exercise and nutrition plan – the 90 Day SSS- before launching his own books and TV show.
Chris Evans, 53, hosts the much-loved radio show every weekday morning from 6.30am, as well as Sundays at 10am.
Virgin Radio is available nationally on DAB digital radio, online and on mobile via the Virgin Radio app. You can download the app on iTunes and from the Google Play store.

No, it's not two-time Olympic gold medalist and professional snowboarder Shaun White. It's Twiggy, the Water Skiing Squirrel.
Twiggy will show off her skills at the 61st annual 2018 Progressive Insurance Louisville Boat, RV & Sportshow at the Kentucky Expo Center Jan. 24-28.
Yes, Twiggy is a real squirrel who wears a mini personal flotation device while balancing on two tiny white skis. She's pulled through an inflatable swimming pool by a toy speedboat – piloted by a less animated toy squirrel and a plush toy "spotter" who lets the driver know if she falls, which Twiggy rarely does.
We should mention Twiggy has her own website, www.twiggyslagoon.com, Twitter, Facebook and Instagram pages.

Students shun foreign peers
UK students demonstrate "passive xenophobia" towards international students, threatening the UK's position in the global education market, according to new research.
Interactions between home and overseas students are "limited, problematic or non-existent", the researchers concluded, and lecturers are failing to manage the problem even when splits - sometimes even hostile ones - develop in classrooms.
Nicola Peacock, internationalisation development manager at Bournemouth University, and Neil Harrison, senior research fellow at the University of the West of England, set up eight focus groups involving 60 students from both universities.
Most of the UK students reported only limited interaction with their international colleagues, and a minority reported having had no contact at all.
The researchers identified international students' age, level of English, cultural differences - including drinking culture - and self-exclusion as possible reasons.
Some students also indicated that they were reluctant to include international students in group work as it might compromise the collective mark through lack of language ability or of English pedagogy.
"The classroom experience of students is that the interaction between UK and international students is not generally actively managed... work groups tend to crystallise around national and language groupings, with little interaction and some possible antipathy from UK students."
Some UK students did report that they had benefited from the presence of international students and appreciated different perspectives, but "there was a sense in which many of the students wanted to establish some form of personal credentials around internationalism and exoticism, potentially linked to the burgeoning backpacking culture," the report said.
The research also noted that Chinese students were deemed to be the most "culturally distant" group - posing a "significant threat to the long-term future" of the East Asian student market.
Mr Harrison said: "Universities need to think about the internationalised classroom. Frontline teaching staff need to be provided with the tools to manage the complex dynamic, especially in courses with a global dimension."

A health care app that'll prescribe you other apps
Dan Gorenstein Jan 2, 2017
https://www.marketplace.org/2017/01/02/app-thatll-prescribe-you-other-apps/
The app "Prescription Universe" helps physicians prescribe medical apps. Mount Sinai Health System/YouTube
There are at least 265,000 mobile health apps.
The trick is distinguishing the digital tools that improve care from the ones that have little impact or can even can harm people.
A project out of Mt. Sinai Health System in New York City has developed an app to offer that service.
"Prescription Universe" evaluates and ranks apps it considers among the safest and most valuable.
Physicians can then prescribe the app, and make it easy for the patient to download the prescription.
There's a feedback channel so the doctor can monitor patient data.
A report from the consultancy firm Accenture shows physicians at two-thirds of the nation's largest hospitals now want to prescribe apps, but only a tiny fraction of patients end up using them.
That's a wasted opportunity, said Dr. Ashish Atreja, co-founder of Prescription Universe and chief technology innovation and engagement officer in Mount Sinai's Department of Medicine.
Atreja, a gastroenterologist, believes apps can both improve health and save money.
It's worked for his patient 32-year old Laura Webb, one of Atreja's patients who for a decade has wrestled with Crohn's Disease, an inflammatory bowel disease.
"I've been hospitalized so often," Webb said. "I've been in a coma. I've had multiple blood transfusions. I had to learn how to walk again. I even lost my hair twice."
Webb doesn't want to go back there.
Webb said a simple monitoring app that tracks her symptoms in real time has helped her and Atreja avoid her Crohn's spiraling out of control again.
"Having something like this, where you have connectivity with them and you know they are going to see what is going on with you is fantastic," she said. "Otherwise, what am I doing, faxing, calling, and emailing hoping someone will get back to me. I really sort of need something more."
Prescribing and "taking" apps have yet to take off because "there are so many apps. The doctor's don't know which to choose," Atreja said.
Prescription Universe is one of several companies looking to make it easier for providers to prescribe apps to their patients.
The app has proven so popular at Mt. Sinai, doctors are prescribing as many as 300 apps a day.
"What they are essentially building is a platform, and the platform potentially solves a problem for doctors and patients," said Dr. Bob Wachter, author of the book "The Digital Doctor."
But Wachter recommends a dose of health skepticism.
He said apps often lack the scientific evidence and rigor for us to know if they work and can improve the quality of our lives.
Products like Rx Universe or its competitors may offer the illusion "without quality data backing it up," he said.
Ultimately health apps, he said, like any serious medical device, must have the data to prove its worth.

Welcome to Aylesbury Vale Crematorium
A new crematorium for Aylesbury Vale, built to the highest standard and in sympathy with the surrounding countryside and waters. It is a natural and peaceful place for families to hold the Funeral service of their choice.
Set on the edge of Watermead Lake and bordered by the River Thame, the crematorium is shaped by water. The final entrance to the chapel carries the funeral cortege over a bridge, creating a distinct, private space for mourners to gather before the service. A generous car park lies below, designed to hold just one funeral at a time, preserving the individuality for each occasion.
The chapel is light and open, finished in natural materials with stunning views over the lake beyond. The whole building is circular, allowing the time and space so necessary for each funeral.
Nestled into a a wooded hillside, the gardens of remembrance wind around the hilltop to lower lawns beyond, offering long range views of the open countryside beyond.
A special oasis on the edge of Aylesbury, overlooking the waters beyond and offering a tranquil setting for families to hold their individual funeral.
Statement - November 2018
Aylesbury Vale Crematorium set to Open - Local funerals to be held this winter
The new crematorium at Watermead will soon open its doors, after it was given the go-ahead by James Brokenshire MP, Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government, yesterday.
The crematorium is a modern, purpose-built facility and will offer a peaceful setting for funerals. The crematorium will host an average four funerals per day, allowing slots of up to an hour for each service. This ensures that families can have a dignified, personal event and that funerals do not overlap.
"The planning process has taken a number of years, but we are pleased that the Secretary of State's decision will now enable us to open the crematorium and start to serve the local community," said Dafydd John, of crematorium operators, the Westerleigh Group.
"We expect to open within weeks, we have an excellent team in place who will soon begin taking bookings from Funeral Directors, and we look forward to providing the highest standards of funeral care to bereaved families from Aylesbury and the surrounding area."
Opinion polls have consistently shown that this is a welcome community facility.
"We will be good neighbours and we are confident that those who may have had reservations will appreciate that we provide an essential service and can be a force for good in the community," said Mr John.
Opening Times.
Office Monday - Friday
Gardens April - September
October - March
The grounds will be closed on weekends until late spring/early summer unless by prior arrangement. Please contact us if you would like to make arrangements for access.
Memorial Sales Please contact our site office for further information and details. Saturday appointments are also available by arrangement.

No Man's Sky Beyond Review
Explore a limitless universe
Reviewed by Alex Legard playing an Xbox One on September 7, 2019
No Man's Sky Beyond is also available for PS4 / PSVR
Beyond, the new update for No Man's Sky just released so what's changed? Is it still worth getting into No Man's Sky? Let's find out.
Here's a cool aerial view of my new base
In my No Man's Sky Next Review from last year, I was impressed that there were 4 modes: creative, normal, survival, and permadeath which accommodates for any kind of player. I was also impressed at the huge variety of things to do as well as the fantasy-like visual style. The most disappointing aspect was that planets are too similar with the same assets being used all over the place, especially on toxic planets. In retrospect, I didn't go out of my way to find the more exotic planets. I was also disappointed that the story didn't offer interesting gameplay and that survival mode isn't much of a challenge. Anyway, if you want to read my Next review before reading further then feel free because it mostly still holds true. Right now, it's time to go through the new features of No Man's Sky Beyond.
VR implementation
No Man's Sky now supports Steam VR and PlayStation VR. I don't have VR but it must be an immersive experience to see a universe in full 360° around you. VR users also have a unique set of controls and a 360° view of the ship's cockpit.
Revamped base-building
As someone who loves making bases, the base-building changes are one of the first things that I tried out. Now, you have to power your bases with sources like solar panels and electromagnetic generators. You also have to link up everything with power lines which is a cumbersome process. I have a base in survival mode that I made last year and I tried to power everything up but the doors don't open even when the rooms are powered because... oh, I don't know. Then, I made a new base in normal mode and I eventually got the hang of it. However, it still seems like you have to make way too many solar panels and it's annoying that you have to put in extra effort to power bases when you didn't have to before.
New tech trees
On the Space Anomaly, you can now trade buried technology for base blueprints. Previously, you had to trade them at the base computer and the blueprints became available in a predetermined order. Since you can now buy them in any order, that's certainly a welcome change.
Here's just a small part of the new and improved Space Anomaly!
New Space Anomaly
Nada and Polo have completely revamped the Space Anomaly. You can now make it appear anywhere in space at the press of a button and there are 12 new NPCs who provide various services such as technology vendors and there are even a few who give you the opportunity to earn nanites. At the Nexus, you can undertake simple missions with other players and earn various rewards. There's a large portal that you can visit other players' bases as well as your own with. Featured bases have been selected by the developers so you're sure to find lots of awesome bases through this system.
Industrial hotspots
There are 3 kinds of planetary hotspots: deep mineral hotspots contain minerals like Magnetised Ferrite, gas hotspots have gaseous resources like Nitrogen, and electromagnetic hotspots can be tapped for a steady supply of electricity to power your base. I tried using supply pipes to transport resources to depots but sometimes, it doesn't work. After playing around in my base for a while, I think I know what's going on. Basically, Supply pipes can't be constructed outside the buildable area of your base which is about 350 units in each direction. The same goes for power lines as you need to have your electromagnetic hotspot very close to your base.
This is just a nice view on my home planet
Animal riding, milking, and cooking
No Man's Sky Beyond allows you to tame animals by feeding them preferred food. You'll have to find common materials like Mordite and Faecium then put them in the nutrient processor to make the food. When you feed the animals, you'll get the option to ride them or harvest them for, uh, "berries". Anyway, you'll now find different ingredients on planetary surfaces and you can mix and match them in the nutrient processor to cook more than 300 new recipes. However, the rewards seem lackluster and you can only trade them for nanites or eat them to boost your life support in case you don't have enough oxygen for whatever reason.
There's a whole bunch of other nice quality of life changes so I'm going to go through them quickly here:
There can now be 8 players in 1 session on console or 32 players on PC.
You can hold up to 9999 of each basic resource but not in survival or permadeath modes.
Sentinels attack players less often while mining but not in survival or permadeath.
You can now ride exocrafts in first-person.
All NPC dialogues were revisited and there are many new conversations on top of that.
NPCs now appear sometimes on planet surfaces and they'll have unique dialogue.
You can now choose categories of words to learn when aliens teach you their language. Plus, there are 700 new words.
The discoveries page and the galaxy map have been revamped.
There are new planetary charts sold on the Space Anomaly for finding manufacturing facilities, depots, and operation centers.
Everything on this planet is strangely shaded red...
Ignoring the huge hassle of powering your base and how difficult it is to use the industrial hotspots, I still enjoyed all of the changes in No Man's Sky Beyond. There's quite a variety of them so if you're a long-time No Man's Sky player, I'm sure you'll find something to enjoy. However, be warned because if you have any old bases, it might take a while to power them all up.
+ Huge update with loads of new content
+ Tons of quality of life enhancements
+ Now features VR support
- Industrial hotspots feel broken
- Need to work to make your old bases functional again
- Animal taming and cooking isn't rewarding

Comments for No Man's Sky Beyond Review
A.J. Maciejewski (crazyaejay): Awesome and informative review! It's great to see the developers consistently improve No Man's Sky, especially considering the lukewarm reception it got upon its initial release.
Raju: This game is getting better with each update. I have the PS4 version and I play on my PS4 Pro, just that my console fan spins strongly when I run this game because it demands a lot of hardware.

Mimar Sinan (1488/90 – 1588) and the Suleymaniye Mosque
October 12, 2018 November 1, 2018 easternfront1453
Mimar Sinan was a prolific architect who worked under the Sultans of the Ottoman Empire. These are his blueprints for the Suleymaniye Mosque, which was started in 1550 and completed in 1558. The Mosque has one of the largest masonry built domes in the Islamic world.
Mimar Sinan's political enemies, envious of the architect's prominent commission, relayed exaggerated information regarding construction problems to Sultan Suleiman I. They accused Sinan of incompetence, pointing toward the architect's obsession, and possible confusion, with the central dome's structure. In response, the Sultan angrily departed to the building site, demanding a hastened completion. Sinan feared enduring the same tragic fate as his predecessor—an architect also named Sinan who, in 1471, was executed for disappointing Suleiman's grandfather, Mehmed II.
A startling promise from the architect followed: "God willing, through the good fortune of my felicitous Padishah, it will be completed in two months." Such an outstanding promise reignited Sinan's political opponents, who claimed the architect's mental composure was deteriorating from overexertion. Sinan, however, finished his project to the standards of the Sultan, with the architect's long lifespan as proof of his success.

Bing announced Monday the release of the Bing AMP (Accelerated Mobile Pages) viewer. With the release, Bing mobile searchers will be able to access AMP-enabled pages from the search results.
AMP viewer and AMP carousel rolling out globally. AMP pages are now available in the news carousel in the US and will be rolling out to other countries in the coming months. It will also become available for more links in Bing search results and to more websites, beyond news.
The screen shots above show the "top headlines" section with AMP stories — indicated by the lightning bolt icon — in the AMP carousel. Clicking on any of those stories will load the articles in the AMP viewer.
Google, which has been the driving force behind the open-source AMP Project until this week, began showing AMP-enabled stories in its search news carousel about two years ago.
Bing joined the AMP Project in 2016. In June, the company said its AMP viewer would be available this summer.
How does this impact Bing users? News results may load faster on mobile. For publishers, this may be an added incentive to enable AMP content and have stories load quickly from Bing search. Bing makes no mention of how AMP might impact ranking. Google has said AMP does not directly impact a page's rank in search but reserves certain sections of its search results to show only AMP content.

Designed by American architect Karl Litten in 1988, the Majlis course at the Emirates Golf Club is the home of the European Tour's Desert Classic event played early every season.
As a result of a continual desire to keep pace with the modern game, the Majlis layout is now a long, tough track full of holes that are really only demanding with six-inch rough grown off the fairway areas and firm, fast greens. The rest of the year these same holes are quite open and straightforward.
Despite being a more interesting course than most of the others in Dubai, the Majlis still has too many dull holes, and a number of driving tests that good players can destroy by bombing over corners. Often during the Desert Classic you see players hitting wedges or short irons into par fives, these same holes are genuine three-shot tests for mere mortals unable to smash past the turn points.
To address some of the shortfalls of design, the club has planted trees in dogleg corners and now engaged Peter Thomson's company, Thomson, Perrett & Lobb, to modernize the track. One hopes TPL avoid simply making this course longer, tighter and more demanding, and instead look at instilling some genuine strategy and challenge into the design.

Tag: 19th century architecture
January 31, 2013 sbowser Architecture, History, Interior Decoration, International Archive of Women in Architecture (IAWA)
Opinion Makers: Women writers on architecture
The world of architecture lost a passionate and opinionated voice when Ada Louise Huxtable, architecture critic for The New York Times (1963-1982) and The Wall Street Journal (1997-), died earlier this month at the age of 91. How opinionated was she? Check out this New Yorker cartoon by Alan Dunn that appeared in 1968. And although the Pulitzer Prize-winner was the first full-time architecture critic at an American newspaper when she started at The New York Times in 1963, she was actually following a tradition of women who wrote about extant architecture.
Americas first decorator. Elsie de Wolfe's seminal book that banished Victorian gloom. Special Collections call number: SPEC Large NK2115 D6 c.2
In the mid-to-late 19th century architecture was a relatively new profession engaged in a public campaign to separate itself from common builders. Authors such as Louisa C. Tuthill, Mariana Van Rensselaer, Mary H. Northend, Edith Wharton, and Elsie de Wolfe served as intermediaries between the lay audience (i.e. potential client base) and architects. Though not trained in architecture per se, these women were often from privileged backgrounds that afforded them the highest levels of private education, an early knowledge of art and culture, and the ability to travel often abroad. They published primarily in general periodicals aimed at the emerging middle class: Century, House and Garden, and American Homes and Gardens, although some such as Van Rensselaer did contribute to the trade publication American Architect and Building News (AABN).
Embracing the 19th-century notion of the cult of domesticity, they served as style dictators endorsing particular aesthetics and architects, and instructing the new glut of middle class homeowners on how to create a domestic sanctuary. Subjects such as the history of architecture and general principles of architecture were also perennial topics during this period.
Page from Louisa C. Tuthill's "The History of Architecture from the Earliest Times: Its Present Conditions in Europe and the Unites States (1848). Special Collections call number: SPEC LARGE NA200 T8 1848
Their writings did not go unnoticed by the professional architecture establishment. Van Rensselaer was praised by the profession and even had her essay Client and Architecture recommended for reprint and distribution at an American Institute of Architects (AIA) meeting (1890). She was made an honorary member of the AIA that same year. The tables could quickly turn, however, as they did in 1892 when the AABN panned Van Rensselaers book English Cathedrals saying that it smacks of the magazine and so, almost of the literary hack.
The entry of women into an architecture practice that did not center around the domestic sphere would be a gradual one that would eventually make way for renowned critics such as Huxtable and Pritzker-winning starchitects.

**The historical research for this post was culled from Lisa Koenigsberg's book "Professionalizing domesticity: a tradition of American women writers on architecture, 1848-1913." and her essay 'Mariana Van Rensselaer: An architecture critic in context' published in "Architecture a place for women." **

Two brothers have been cleared of the manslaughter of a popular doorman.
John and Scott McKean were on trial accused of killing Paul Jopling after a row over a cigarette led to "a fatal adrenalin rush".
But yesterday prosecutors dropped the manslaughter case and the brothers pleaded guilty to affray. They will be sentenced at a later date.
Dad-of-three Mr Jopling collapsed just minutes after intervening in a violent disturbance involving the McKean brothers outside Decades nightclub in Consett, where he was a respected member of the door staff.
The 40-year-old, who lived with his wife Gemma and their children in Cutler's Avenue, Consett, died in hospital a short time later as a result of blood loss caused when a renal aneurism, of which he was unaware, ruptured.
The two brothers of Durham Road, Blackhill, Consett, County Durham had denied manslaughter and affray.
Prosecutors had told the jury they believed it was the stress of the incident in the early hours of December 12 2010, that caused Mr Jopling's blood pressure to rise and led to the rupture of the aneurism.
The incident began when, at 3.20am, John McKean was asked to leave after he lit up a cigarette inside the club.
The brothers were shown on CCTV leaving by an upstairs fire door. But, halfway down, John turned around and went back to kick the door.
When the bouncers opened the door John, 35, and Scott, 36, ran back up the stairs and began fighting with the doormen.
The altercation then continued down the stairs and Mr Jopling followed. The fight then broke up and the bouncers returned to the club.
But, just minutes later, Mr Jopling was seen to slump over a games machine and paramedics were called.
He was taken to the University Hospital of North Durham but he died at 5am.
Fellow doorman Marvin Campbell, who witnessed the disturbance, described Mr Jopling as "a nice man, funny, calm, collected and good at his job".

EV sales in Norway top 100,000
Alan Feldberg
Norway has become the fourth country to register more than 100,000 electric vehicles – and the trend is only increasing.
With a population of just over five million people, that figure represents a success story for the country's approach to electric vehicles.
At the end of 2010 there were just 3,366 electric vehicles registers in the country. That number had swollen to 50,000 in April last year but indications are that growth is only set to escalate. More than 17,000 electric vehicles have been sold in the country this year and during March roughly one in three new sales was an electric car.
The surge in the last year has been attributed to governmental incentives coupled with sales of Tesla's Model S and Nissan Leafs.
In total, about 25% of Norway's market is now plug-in electric vehicles.
The global leader in electric sales in the US with about 450,000 (about one per cent of market). China has around 300,000 electric units on its roads and Japan has about 150,000.

Sebastian (not his real name) politely left the room after fecal matter was splattered on his uniform. The only mistake he committed was his failure to sidestep when the irate patient hurled the bed pan.
Arnel Ceriola, CSP, security manager of St. Luke's Medical Center, would never be remiss in asking a new recruit for the security job whether the person can handle similar ego-pricking situations.
Neither would Ceriola mind giving a discouraging reply if asked to describe the healthcare security profession. "Multiply by ten times the problems faced in hotel security and you will get a fairly accurate picture of the difficulty in hospital security," he said.
"In hotels, you will always sense the relaxed and jovial atmosphere. In hospitals, the ambiance is exactly the opposite," said Ceriola, who is also the president of the Philippine Healthcare Security Association (PHSA).
Considering that bodily afflictions can cause patients and family members to sink to their lowest emotional ebb, security personnel must strive to exceed the usual treatment afforded to hotel guests.
Ceriola's comparison of the challenges in hotel and hospital security is supported by Ace Esmeralda, CPP, former regional security director for Middle East, Asia and Pacific of an international hotel and resort chain.
Esmeralda pointed out that the first class amenities and designs of new hospitals in the country are akin to deluxe hotels. "The new hospitals are somehow living up to the ambiance and service standards of the hospitality industry", observed Esmeralda, who is a founding member of the PHSA.
A Big Problem
The tantrums of cranky patients are actually the least of a hospital guard's worries. Keeping the hospital occupants and their belongings safe and secure from crimes and accidents within the premises is the security personnel's paramount concern. "Security remains a big problem in hospitals," Ceriola admits.
Dr. Juan Ma. Pablo Nañagas, M.D., former Department of Health undersecretary for health facilities, standards and regulations, could not agree more and specifically pointed to the criminal activities of petty thieves and scam artists as the usual concerns of hospitals.
"Hospitals should be able to provide a system that will prevent crimes against patients," said Nañagas, who also served as director of the University of the Philippines – Philippine General Hospital (UP-PGH) from 2001 to 2003.
The buildings at UP-PGH are situated in a large compound with numerous entrance and exit points for 15,000 people going in and out every day. According to Nañagas, there are roughly 85 guards for these structures. "A new building constructed in the compound becomes an additional security concern," he said.
Four laptops had been stolen in the UP-PGH's Eye building alone, according to Nañagas.
"Facing greater risk are those surgery patients who don't believe in the use of credit cards and insist on carrying cold cash," Nañagas said.
He also confirmed that there have been mind-boggling instances when expensive medical equipment of considerable size and weight got carted away by thieves. "Now, this is not just a case of pilferage," the former UP-PGH director said.
However, Esmeralda commented that government hospitals do not have the appropriate budget for a good level of security management system which goes beyond the mere number of security guards. But he avers that both government-owned and private hospitals can avail of the best practices collectively shared by members of the PHSA.
Festering Woes
Like other government-owned hospitals, UP-PGH is festered by financial woes that prevent it from further improving its security system. "We have a limited budget from government," Nañagas said.
Following government policy, even the security service has to pass through the bidding process. Critics point out that getting good security service may be difficult if the outcome of the process primarily depends on the lower bids instead of the track record of the security agencies.
Because guards are taken in by government hospitals as a result of lower bids offered by their agencies, there is also the question of whether such agencies can afford to give hazard pay to their security personnel.
According to Nañagas, this is an issue that might come up between the agency and its guards. He noted that UP-PGH employees, who are exposed to health risks, receive hazard pay.
System Paid Off
On the other hand, the effort on the part of SLMC to constantly review and upgrade the system has generated positive results as indicated by the downward trend of culprits apprehended.
Ceriola said that in 2002, a total of 45 people involved in theft and pilferage were caught in the hospital and sent to jail. By 2004, the number went down to 20. From January 2008 up to the present, only two offenders were caught.
"Remember that 95% of hospital items, which are the usual objects of theft and pilferage, can be used immediately inside the house," Ceriola said in explaining why hospitals have always been favorite targets of thieves.
Even with the large drop in the incidence of theft and pilferage, SLMC's security manager still considers the salisi (means "moving in the opposite direction" in English) method of criminals as the most difficult to monitor.
Intrusions into unlocked rooms of patients, who have been sleeping and left unguarded by family members, have become the most common approach of thieves bent on getting their loot.
"Usually, these people using salisi pretend to be relatives or doctors of the patient before entering the rooms," Ceriola explained. He said in that one incident, a Caucasian was caught.
One way to catch them, however, is to closely study the movement of the perpetrator through a digital camera and close circuit television (CCTV).
"If the person tries to turn three or more door knobs as seen through the CCTV, then obviously, he or she is not looking for a sick relative," Ceriola said.
Paying meager attention to the importance of securing hospitals against untoward incidents will generate unfavorable consequences to medical tourism industry that is much touted to carry a billion dollar potential.
Disasters, Bomb Threats
Patients must also enjoy the sense of mental comfort and physical safety from other unfavorable scenarios, whether deliberate or accidental.
"We are talking about peace of mind against fire, earth quakes and other disasters," said Nañagas.
Note that unlike the physical environment of other structures, "combustible materials such as oxygen tank and alcohol are present in many hospital rooms," said Nañagas.
Compounding the difficulties in a hypothetical accident scenario is that security personnel will be helping patients, say those undergoing dialysis, who cannot move on their own.
"What if the patients are occupying rooms on the seventh floor?" Nañagas asked in explaining a point. He said UP-PGH has been conducting fire drills to mitigate the impact of the accidents on patients.
Logically, the exercise also covers possible bomb attacks, even if skeptics are not ready to accept that terrorists are capable of going to that extreme. "For all you know, the hospital might also be a target," warned Nañagas.
Securing Labs against Terrorists
Securing hospital laboratories against theft of materials that could be used for terrorism might be a scene better reserved for spy thriller films.
Nañagas, however, believes that the threat is real, especially if the laboratories serve as storage of cultured organisms, narcotics, radioactive and other hazardous materials.
"My experience at UP-PGH is that we have dealt with potentially harmful bacteria, but nobody is watching the labs," Nañagas complained, and then asked, "What is to prevent someone from stealing them?"
"It is not easy to grow the bacteria in large quantities, but it can be done," Nañagas said in describing the possibility of culturing an organism even for small-scale bio-terrorism.
Given this and other related scenarios, Nañagas feels that it may be high time for security personnel to undergo specialized training on how to properly deal with health hazards and pandemic situations.
Esmeralda agrees with Nañagas that there could be more than just pilferage since bio-terrorism is still in the list of threats with devastating effects.
Captive Market at Global Level
Discussions on the bright prospects of medical tourism started landing on the front pages of newspapers in December 2005 after economist Bernardo Villegas announced that it is an industry with a huge dollar-earning potential.
In that same event, Villegas estimated that the industry needs at least three years to mature to fully benefit from the large captive market at the global level.
While the prediction of Villegas has yet to be realized, Ceriola attests to the increasing interest of the private sector. "At present, there is really much effort poured on medical tourism," he said.
Trumpet Blast?
Much trumpet blast had indeed been made regarding the industry's projected annual earnings of USD 2 billion, particularly after the launching of the Philippine Medical Tourism Program last January 11, 2006.
Although the aggregate cost of the technical and human components of a security system may be more than enough to discourage hospital operators from putting in more capital, there exists the hard reality that healthcare security is inextricably tied to a successful medical tourism program.
As investors match with huge capital the costly requirements set by sophisticated construction plans, Ceriola expects the emergence of new challenges in security management. He based this expectation on his current tasks at SLMC in Quezon City and the new hospital with the same name soon to rise at Bonifacio Global City.
"If we want medical tourism to succeed in this country, then patients must feel secure and safe while inside Philippine hospitals," said Ceriola. "Otherwise, how can we successfully market the proposal abroad?"•

Silwan or Siloam (; ; ) is a predominantly Palestinian neighborhood in East Jerusalem, on the outskirts of the Old City of Jerusalem.

It is mentioned in the Hebrew Bible and the New Testament; in the latter it is the location of Jesus' healing the man blind from birth. Medieval Silwan began as a farming village, dating back to the 7th century according to local traditions, while the earliest mention of the village is from the year 985. From the 19th century onwards, the village was slowly being incorporated into Jerusalem until it became an urban neighborhood.

After the 1948 war, the village came under Jordanian rule. Jordanian rule lasted until the 1967 Six-Day War, since which it has been occupied by Israel. Silwan is administered as part of the Jerusalem Municipality.

In 1980, Israel incorporated East Jerusalem (of which Silwan is a part) into its claimed capital city Jerusalem through the Jerusalem Law, a basic law in Israel. The move is considered by the international community as illegal under international law, but the Israeli government disputes this. According to  Haaretz, the Israeli government has worked closely with the right-wing settler organization Ateret Cohanim to evict Palestinians living on property whether classified formerly as heqdesh (property pledged to a temple) or not, especially in the Batan el-Hawa area of Silwan.

Depending on how the neighborhood is defined, the Palestinian residents in Silwan number 20,000 to 50,000 while there are about 500 to 2,800 Jews.

Geography

Silwan is located southwest of the Old City Walls and constitutes part of the Jerusalem's "Holy Basin". The neighborhood has a narrow shape on a north-to-south axis. It is bounded by  Wadi Hilweh and Abu Tor to the west and the Ras al-Amud neighborhood to east. Its southern tip touches the Jabel Mukaber neighborhood and its northern tip touches the Mount of Olives Jewish Cemetery.

The neighborhood, originally a village, is built on the southern ridge of the Mount of Olives, where it slopes steeply from approximately  above sea level, until it reaches the Kidron Valley, bounding the neighborhood to the west. The historical core of the village is in its northwestern section, considered to be the site of ancient Jerusalem. This location is where dozens of ancient burial tombs attributed to the time of ancient Israel and Judah as well as the Byzantine rule were found. The modern villagers used the tombs as dwellings or as enclosures for livestock. Many of the burial tombs are inhabited until today. The village was built next to numerous water sources of historical importance, such as the Pool of Siloam (Ain Silwan), Gihon Spring and Ein Rogel. The rest of the village was built in the 19th century.

History

Iron Age

In the ancient period, the area where the village stands was occupied by the necropolis of the Biblical kingdom. In the valley below, according to the Hebrew Bible, "the waters of Shiloah go softly" (from the Gihon Spring; ) and "the Pool of Siloam" () to water what since King Solomon became known as the king's garden (; ; ).

The necropolis, or ancient cemetery, is an archaeological site of major significance. It contains fifty rock-cut tombs of distinguished calibre, assumed to be the burial places of the highest-ranking officials of the Judean kingdom. Tomb inscriptions are in Hebrew. The "most famous" of the ancient rock-cut tombs in Silwan is finely carved, the one known as the Tomb of Pharaoh's daughter. Another notable tomb, called the Tomb of the Royal Steward is now incorporated into a modern-period house. The ancient inscription informs us that it is the final resting place of ""...yahu who is over the house." The first part of the Hebrew name is effaced, but it refers to a Judean royal steward or chamberlain. It is now in the collection of the British Museum.

At their first thorough archaeological investigation, all of the tombs were long since emptied, and their contents removed. A great deal of destruction was done to the tombs over the centuries by Roman-period quarrying and later by their conversion for use as housing, both by monks in the Byzantine period, when some were used as churches, and later by Muslim villagers "...when the Arab village was built; tombs were destroyed, incorporated in houses or turned into water cisterns and sewage dumps."

According to the Hebrew Bible, Siloam was built around the "serpent-stone", Zoheleth, where Adonijah gave his feast in the time of Solomon.

The Siloam inscription was discovered in the water tunnel built during the reign of Hezekiah, in the early 7th century BC. The Siloam inscription is now preserved in the Archeological Museum of Istanbul, Turkey. Another important inscription found at Siloam is the lintel of Shebna-yahu's tomb (known as the Shebna Inscription), which is in the collections of the British Museum. In 2004, archaeologists excavating the site for the Israel Antiquities Authority found biblical-era coins marked with ancient Hebrew writing, pottery shards and a stone bottle cork that confirmed the identification of the site as the biblical Siloam Pool.

Roman period
The King's Garden was used as a staging area for Jewish pilgrims who, during the festivals of Passover, Shavuot and Sukkot, used the spring-fed Pool of Siloam to wash and ritually purify themselves before ascending the monumental stepped street to the Temple Mount while singing hymns based on Psalms. On Sukkot water was brought from the Pool of Siloam to the Temple and poured upon the altar and the priests also drank of this water.

In the New Testament, the collapse of the Tower of Siloam is cited by Jesus as one of two examples where sudden, untimely death came to people who didn't necessarily deserve it more than most other sinful people.

According to the Gospel of John, Jesus healed a man who had been blind from birth. Jesus spat on the ground, made mud with the saliva, and spread the mud over the blind man's eyes. He then told the man, "Go wash yourself in the Pool of Siloam." So the man went and washed and came back seeing.

Josephus described the waters of Siloam as "sweet and abundant". During the general outbreak of hostilities between the Jewish nation and the Roman Imperial army in ca. 66 CE, Simon bar Giora controlled all of the "Upper City" where he made his place of residence in the Phasael tower before abandoning it, and part of the "Lower City" (Acra) as far as the great wall in the Kidron Valley and the fountain of Siloam, now in Silwan.

Byzantine period
A pool and church were built at Siloam by the Byzantine empress Eudocia (c. 400–460 CE) to commemorate Jesus' miraculous healing of the blind.

Early Muslim period

Local folklore dates Silwan to the arrival of the second Rashidun caliph, Umar ibn al-Khattab from Arabia. According to one resident's version of the story, the Greeks were so impressed that the Caliph entered on foot while his servant rode on a camel that they presented him with the key to the city. The Caliph thereafter granted the wadi to "Khan Silowna," an agricultural community of cave dwellers living in ancient rock-cut tombs along the face of the eastern ridge.

In medieval Muslim tradition, the spring of Silwan (Ayn Silwan) was among the four most sacred water sources in the world. The others were Zamzam in Mecca, Ayn Falus in Beisan and Ayn al-Baqar in Acre. Silwan is mentioned as "Sulwan" by the 10th-century Arab writer and traveller al-Muqaddasi. In his 985 book he noted that (as rendered in the edition by Le Strange) "The village of Sulwan is a place on the outskirts of the city [Jerusalem]. Below the village of 'Ain Sulwan (Spring of Siloam), of fairly good water, which irrigates the large gardens which were given in bequest (Waqf) by the Khalif 'Othman ibn 'Affan for the poor of the city. Lower down than this, again, is Job's Well (Bir Ayyub). It is said that on the Night of 'Arafat the water of  the holy well Zamzam, at Makkah, comes underground to the water of the Spring (of Siloam). The people hold a festival here on that evening."

Moshe Gil interprets statements by Muqaddasi (writing in 985), Nasir-i Khusraw (1047), and Yaqut (1225), as meaning that what they called the Spring of Silwan can only be a water source located at quite a distance farther south, Khusraw actually indicating a distance of c. 3 km from Jerusalem's walls. This leads to Gil identifying this "Spring of Silwan" with what we know today as the Spring of Bir Ayyub (biblical Ein Rogel), whose exact location in those days cannot be pinpointed anymore, but was in any case several km away from the city walls.

Ottoman period

In 1596, Ayn Silwan appeared in Ottoman tax registers as being in the Nahiya of Quds of the Liwa of Quds, with a population of 60 households, all Muslim. They paid a total of 35,500 akçe in taxes, and all of the revenues went to a Waqf.

In 1834, during a large-scale peasants' rebellion against Ibrahim Pasha, thousands of rebels infiltrated Jerusalem through ancient underground sewage channels leading to the farm fields of the village of Silwan. A traveller to Palestine in 1883, T. Skinner, wrote that the olive groves near Silwan were a gathering place for Muslims on Fridays.

In 1838 Silwan was noted as a Muslim village, part of el-Wadiyeh district, located east of Jerusalem.

A photograph of the village taken between 1853 and 1857 by James Graham can be found on page 35 of Picturing Jerusalem by photographers James Graham and Mendel Diness. It shows the western part of the modern village as empty of habitations, a few trees are scattered across the southern ridge with the small village confined to the ridgetop east of the valley.

The National-Religious Jewish settlers' organisation, ElAd, was accused of excavating on Palestinian property and beginning its work on the City of David tunnels before receiving a permit from the Jerusalem Municipality.

The general area was thought by many historical geographers to be that of Josephus' Acra, so-named after an old fortress that was once there, an area also called the "Lower City."

In 2007, archaeologists unearthed under a parking lot a 2,000-year-old mansion that may have belonged to Queen Helene of Adiabene. The building includes storerooms, living quarters and ritual baths.
In 2008, Islamic-era skeletons discovered in the course of excavations have disappeared.

Cyntoia Brown Gets Federal Court Date To Try And Overturn Her Life Sentence
Source: PBS
Cyntoia Brown, the Nashville woman who was imprisoned at the age of 16 for killing a child predator who paid her for sex, will be appealing her life sentence in court next month.
READ: The Story Of Cyntoia Brown, A Child Sex Slave Imprisoned For Killing Her Abuser, Has Resurfaced
The 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals has scheduled a June 14 court date for the case of 29-year-old Brown in front of a three-judge panel in Cincinnati, according to a report from Fox17 Nashville. Attorneys representing Brown hope to challenge her life sentence without parole, arguing that she feared for her life when she killed a man who solicited her for sex as a teen. However, prosecutors argue that she killed the man to rob him.
Previously, Tennessee had rejected another appeal from Brown's team trying to challenge her conviction.
"A legal response filed Wednesday in the 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals says a state court's rejection of Cyntoia Brown's appeal didn't contradict U.S. Supreme Court precedent about cruel and unusual punishment," the state wrote previously.
Shortly after that, a prosecutor who defended Brown's sentencing said that she wanted to kill and take her abuser's stuff.
"I think she did what she wanted to do and unfortunately on this night what she wanted to do was kill him and take his stuff," Jeff Burks said previously.
When asked if he was in favor of her sentence being commuted Burks responded:
"Well, that's for the people of the state to decide. I don't live in the state anymore, so I don't really have an issue to weigh in there. I'm vocal about what the facts of the case were,not necessarily what the punishment should be. I think it's a very good question what sentence a person this young should serve there are reasonable arguments on either side of that."

Whenever I got to harvest a cabbage I always leave the stalk and some outer leaves in the ground and just cleanly slice the head off.
A few weeks later you should find that you have a whole bunch of little cabbagelings sprouting from the base. Which means a second crop from the same plant, and miniature food. Who doesn't love miniature food!
Its a really simple way to get double the cabbage crop from the same plants with basically no effort at all and I am all about the lazy gardening when I can!
