"The nose opens up on fresh sherry notes, highlighted by juicy plums and cherry syrup. Some sweet cotton candy is balanced by polished leather and whispers of tropical fruit. The palate displays a good amount of oak, as well as honey and sultanas. Pretty spicy too! The finish is mellow and medium in length. Good stuff."


The whole point of the 'London to Brighton' is to celebrate the end of the 1865 Locomotive Act which, among other things, mandated a flag-carrier to walk in front of any motor car to warn pedestrians and horse riders of its approach. Indeed, the event's ceremonial start includes the tearing in half of one such red flag, a poignant reminder of the liberation we commemorate on this annual 'Emancipation Run'.
But it's precisely this point at which I understand the initial scepticism and fear with which road locomotives were met when they first reached the British Isles. I clutch a coffee as chaos plays out on the banks of the Serpentine, London's sleepy Sunday decorum punctured by steam whistles and a motorist bellowing "Make way!" as he pilots his 19th century machine through the crowds.
I'm in Hyde Park on a chilly November morning to meet a 1904 Lanchester, its driver Ben Cussons and his dog Rex. We're taking part in the longest-running motor event in the world: the London to Brighton Veteran Car Run, now in its 101st year. It's open to vehicles built prior to 1905 but beyond that, no two entrants are alike – we're joined in the park by steam carts, tricycles, early bicycles and even an ancient fire engine.
Five of us (including Rex) clamber in to the car, which is entirely open to the elements, and set off to join the hullabaloo. We're spoiled for weather this year, and we know it. Cold air mingles with coal smoke in my throat as we head for the start line, white sunlight crackling through the branches above. It's pretty but very much a November dawn – I'm grateful for the presence of Rex who, despite his not insignificant mass, is a warm and welcome addition to my lap.
I'm taken aback by the dense crowds gathered to see our merry parade. It's seven on a Sunday morning, which means that – like me – most of the spectators will have set their alarms for five and dragged themselves into the chilly gloom in order to be here. I had expected a smattering of well-wishers and maybe a couple of die-hard vintage car fans, but as we pass through the gantry that marks the beginning of the course, the crowds show no sign of thinning.
Sunrise sidles through the columns of Burton's handsome screen at Hyde Park Corner as we set off through its central arch and down Constitution Hill. The Lanchester's steering seems crude, but its tiller (rather than steering wheel) is weighted to mitigate the worst of the wobble. It's also incredibly comfortable – the rear 'seat' resembles a sort of narrow-gauge Chesterfield, and I slump into an indulgently reclined posture.
Our four-cylinder engine has propelled us to an impressively modern pace as we rumble onto The Mall. The assembled throngs of tourists have their backs to Buckingham Palace this morning, instead turning their camera lenses towards the strange procession trickling towards town. Penny farthings, motorised tricycles, steam carts – we overtake a staggering variety of antique machinery on the open expanse of red tarmac between the Victoria Memorial and Horse Guards.
We carry speed into the corner and the Lanchester rolls like a dinghy. Four-up, plus Rex, we're clearly putting some strain on this entirely undamped contraption, which rocks from side to side until it regains its mechanical composure. Not only that, but the presence of passengers in the back seat is pushing the doors open – a spare bungee cord and my own scarf are quickly requisitioned to act as fasteners as we enter London's traffic.
Westminster Bridge is one of the best-known parts of the route, not least because of its role as the finishing line for Ambrose and Alan's £100 bet in Genevieve – one of my favourite movies, and arguably one of the most important pieces of automotive cinema. Lambeth has changed a lot since its release in 1953 but I'm sure the film's impact has helped keep this event alive. In fact, Genevieve herself is taking part only a few hundred yards away.
It's hard to ignore a strong smell of burning coming from beneath us. A man on a bicycle pulls up alongside and politely informs us that one of our brake drums is threatening to ignite, something we all feel merits investigation. Rex sighs as we draw to a halt outside Stockwell station, Ben hopping out and underneath the Lanchester in one deft movement.
The brakes are sticking. Four men plus a dog is probably the largest load this Lanchester has lugged in years, and it's actually bending in the middle. This in turn is stretching the brake line, which is causing the rear left drum to snag and overheat. Left to its own devices, this will result in a loss of braking and potentially a small fire, but thankfully the necessary adjustments seem straightforward.
Unfortunately, starting the Lanchester is less so. A known problem with the trembler coil leaves us stranded opposite Costcutter; despite my best efforts with the starting handle, there's no sign of life from the engine.
Cars of this vintage are not known for their reliability, so breakdowns on the London to Brighton are commonplace; Ben conservatively estimates that around a tenth of participants will retire en route. But the event is supported enthusiastically by the RAC (a separate entity to the Royal Automobile Club, the Pall Mall-based outfit that organises the event) and it's not long before one of their distinctive orange vans turns up to give us a bump start.
We've lost a lot of time. Traffic is building among the Sunday morning debris of Clapham High Street, but clear blue skies above the Common are reassuring. This would have been thoroughly miserable in soggier weather. I'm sure the relative warmth is what's drawn so many spectators along the route – even through Balham and Tooting, people crowd onto traffic islands to watch the spectacle. I see one family outside their house in their pyjamas.
These veteran cars, each over 100 years old, are almost universally loved. They're delightful to look at, they sound fantastic, and they're just so unrelentingly cheerful that they capture everyone's attention. We wave and we toot (it's impossible to be unhappy in the presence of a bulb horn) to the visible delight of passers-by.
Sadly, there are more cars on the road now then there were in 1904. Banstead is horribly congested and we're forced to wait, clusters of elderly cars and their well-heeled occupants mixing with more modern traffic. A man on a penny farthing passes stoically on the cycle path. Our hopes of a good time are dashed.
I'm glad I'm not at the helm at this point. Its controls are an impossible sequence of pedals and levers, which may have made ergonomic sense at the time but which are alien by today's standards. Ben expertly manhandles them into position, remarking that the throttle is easy but that second gear can be a hassle to find. Even as the traffic eases up through Reigate, which is also lined with applauding well-wishers, I'm grateful that someone who knows what they're doing is in charge of this ancient apparatus.
A refreshment break at Crawley turns out to be a surreal experience. Hosted within the pristine retail space of a Honda dealership, but with Harrods providing the catering and a small brass band, the 'coffee stop' is a rallying point for every team that has made it this far. We swing into the bunting-strewn mess of a carpark, where everything is being fettled, adjusted and topped-up. A huge orange RAC lorry carrying a steaming retiree weaves its way through the kerfuffle to mechanics at the back, as waiters bedecked in the green Harrods uniform carry silver teapots to thirsty teams.
We've used around four gallons of fuel, which is remarkably abstemious for a car built before emissions regulations. Ben tops up the oil, gives me and Rex a scotch egg each, and (with the help of another tow) we're off into the High Weald, the sun already beginning its exit from the Sussex sky.
Brighton is clearly signposted from here and it feels like the home straight. The crowds have clearly been out all day, and are in many ways more committed than their London counterparts – picnics, trestle tables and gazebos line the road. We drive through Handcross, then through Staplefield (which is practically a classic car show in its own right, thanks to the number of spectators who have brought vintage vehicles of their own) and then down the windy streets of Cuckfield.
There's a brief dual carriageway stretch where the Lanchester can show off its top speed. It's apparently good for around 65mph with a good tailwind but we stick to a more modest 50mph as we approach Brighton – estimated, of course, as the car has no instruments.
We've been travelling for over seven hours by the time we reach Patcham. I still can't help feeling a little sad that our epic journey is almost over, but the sun –which we greeted in a chilly Hyde Park – is planning its farewells, Brighton Pavilion silhouetted against a peach sky.
There's a profound Englishness to the scene we encounter at the finish line on Madeira Drive. Happy crowds, plastic pint glasses in hand, assembled on a chilly seafront to look at something ridiculous. I lived in Brighton for a while and seven years ago to the day, I was in that crowd, watching perfect strangers playing with their favourite things. That was before I'd started my career as a motoring journalist, and I credit it – specifically the beautifully silly pok-pok-pok sound of a hundred-year-old one-cylinder engine – with reaffirming my commitment to writing about cars.
Rex is woken up and ushered into the front seat for a photograph as we cross the finish line. As we dismount and say our farewells over a mulled wine and some chilli in the Bonhams tent, I reflect on our shared sense of accomplishment. Driving from Hyde Park to Brighton is not an impressive feat these days; in fact, it's a bit of a chore. But today we've not only drawn it out into an eight-hour fiasco, we've also done something fundamentally happy – a cheerfully eccentric triumph. See you next year.

As for the most important characteristic in a fighter, Matt believes that heart is bigger than anything else. It comes down to having a good attitude, persistence, and maintaining a positive reputation. Regardless of the level of notoriety one achieves, there is no excuse to not be kind, genuine, and a good sport—even in defeat. "I'm not ashamed to pick up some L's because it means I'm not taking easy fights," he reflects. It's his belief that taking on tough opponents makes you stronger: If you're not challenging yourself, you're not growing.
I asked Matt which of his own characteristics gives him an edge in the sport. Without hesitation, he answered, "My physicality." He contends that this is perhaps underestimated. Schnell trains hard year-round to always be ready for his next fight, which can't come soon enough. "I'm eager to get back in the cage," he states. "First things first, I wanna win some fights in the UFC." Knowing his determination, he'll stop at nothing to continue making a name for himself—and in my humble opinion, he couldn't have chosen a better name than Danger.

Dolly mixtures, outside toilets and community spirit
By editor on November 19, 2014 in Arts and creativity
A song about a time when neighbours were neighbours from Community Correspondent John Dane
Image painted by Community Correspondent David Bradley
There's nothing like a song to make you remember happier times. At our Mind Waves meeting, John sang us "When I was a lad", which is about growing up in Belfast, but reminded us of all our childhoods.
The song evokes so much about growing up, from dolly mixtures to outside toilets, but the main theme is the idea of a time when "neighbours were neighbours". Of course, it's easy to be nostalgic and remember a better time of community spirit, but we all agreed that feeling part of a community where people do each other favours does wonders for your mental wellbeing.
As we listened to John's moving acappella redition, we all thought about community really means. After the applause we talked about our own experiences of loneliness and isolation and we discussed what we can do to support people around us.
What do you think? Were communities more supportive in the past? What can we do to make our communities stronger?
Community, featured, history

Why I stopped being a "peer snob" and learned to value peer support

Great to read John's story. Took me right back to when I belonged to the womens' writing group with Survivors Poetry Scotland, gosh that was a long time ago. I loved our weekly meetings at Templeton – the old carpet factory. Going up in the old fashioned lift and then hearing all the wonderful stories from other women who had grown up in a time when washing would hang on lines over Glasgow Green, the stories of the Steamies, made so colourful for me – at a time when I had only recently arrived in Glasgow and knew very little of the history. That's why I became a member of Glasgow Womens Library plus because I live in Govan there is so much rich history – why would I want to live anywhere else?

Thanks Pru, it's amazing when we start talking about these stories everyone has one to tell. Look out for Lorna's post next week- there's even a steamie in it.

Ten points for a big difference in mental health
Mental health: A year and half after the groundbreaking 10 high-impact changes were published comes a new version specifically for mental health services, writes Jackie Ardley
When the Modernisation Agency published the 10 high-impact changes for service improvement and delivery in September 2004, mental health leaders were keen to test their relevance and adapt them to improve mental health services.
But while there was a guide for primary care trusts and for clinicians, there was nothing for mental health.
Through its regional development centres, the Care Services Improvement Partnership has found examples of service and process redesign in health and social care communities. They focused on areas where the effect of the high-impact changes could be measured.
The result is the launch this month of the 10 high-impact changes for mental health services, and two accompanying publications.
These present the 10 areas that have the greatest positive impact on service user and carer experience, service delivery, outcomes and staff.
1 Treat home-based care and support as the norm
Aim: To avoid hospital admission unless necessary.
Example: Easington crisis resolution and home treatment team, Tees, Esk and Wear Valleys trust.
Reduction in admissions from 175 in 2002 to 128 in 2003 and 92 in 2004; 100 per cent were satisfied or very satisfied with the care they received; bed days were reduced by 649 over one year, saving£142,780.
2 Improve flow of service users and carers across health and social care by improving access to screening and assessment
Aim: To make it easier for service users and carers to access screening and assessment services.
Example: Northumberland, Tyne and Wear trust introduced full booking for its Newcastle and North Tyneside perinatal service.
Average response time down from 21 days to 11 days; referrers' increased confidence in the postnatal depression protocol; a 50 per cent reduction in unnecessary referrals.
3 Manage variation in service user discharge processes
Aim: Timely and consistent discharge from all services.
Example: Sheffield Care trust adult mental health acute services introduced a discharge facilitator.
Reduced bed occupancy; of 182 users at risk of losing their home or needing a change in accommodation during 2004-05, 67 per cent did not experience any delays in discharge; delay periods were reduced by 50 per cent from an average 11 to five weeks
4 Manage variation in access
Aim: To ensure responsive and consistent access to services.
Example: East Cambridge and Fenland choose and book system, Cambridgeshire and Peterborough Mental Health Partnership trust.
Child and adolescent mental health services report a steady decline in did not attend rates; older people's services had a zero did not attend rate (96 referrals); positive feedback from users.
5 Avoid unnecessary contact for users and provide necessary contact in the right setting
Aim: To support effective planned and negotiated care and follow-up contact that is determined only by need or service user-led request.
Example: Mersey Care trust established a pharmacy technician to lead a seamless medicines management approach.
Service users are able to access all their medications via their GP and community pharmacy service; reduced prescription expenditure.
6 Increase the reliability of interventions by designing care around what is known to work and that service users and carers inform and influence
Aim: To underpin care with good practice and evidence, enabling service users and carers to be at the centre of decisions and establishing systems to support their meaningful involvement and participation.
Example: Service users play a central role in shaping and running the Haven, a joint project led by North Essex Mental Heath Partnership trust for the support and treatment of people with a personality disorder.
An 87 per cent reduction in Mental Health Act (section 136) orders a year; annual acute inpatient admissions down by 85 per cent; a 60 per cent reduction in use of accident and emergency services.
7 Apply a systematic approach to enable the recovery of people with long-term conditions
Aim: To provide an approach that supports and empowers people with long-term conditions to better manage their mental health.
Example: West London Mental Health trust's Cafe on the Hill.
Service users gain work experience and qualifications; on average there are 13 team workers (service users) in the cafe, eight of whom have completed the NVQ in food preparation.
8 Improve service-user flow by removing queues
Aim: To reduce the time service users wait at any point.
Example: Mersey Care trust adult mental health directorate gateway worker impact.
Decisions on all referrals received are made and communicated to service users in 24 hours; the routine referral waiting time is four weeks, emergency is the same day and urgent one week.
9 Optimise service-user and carer flow through an integrated care pathway
Aim: To increase efficiency and outcomes through a whole-service evidence-based and systematic approach to delivering a care package.
Example: Gloucester recovery in psychosis service, Gloucestershire Partnership trust and Cheltenham Community Projects.
Reduced bed occupancy; 93 per cent of first-episode users and their families now access behavioural family intervention; all carers receive carer assessment; all service users and carers are aware of the care programme; over three years to March 2006, duration of untreated psychosis has fallen from 13 to three months; fewer Mental Health Act assessments; at April 2006, there had been no incidents of suicide among their clients aged 14-35, despite a 70 times higher risk in this client group.
10 Redesign and extend roles in line with efficient service user and carer pathways to attract and retain an effective workforce
Aim: To ensure that services meet the needs of service users and carers and that skilled and motivated staff are recruited and retained.
Example: Memory nurse role at the Memory Assessment and Research Centre, Hampshire Partnership trust.
Reduction of waiting for new referrals to four weeks; new service users up by 50 per cent: an additional 200 people can be seen per year by memory nurses, on top of memory clinic attendance; an additional 1,000 follow-up appointments can be held each year; three memory nurses are supplementary prescribers; more activity for much lower cost.
These success stories depend on trusts' engagement and work with staff and service users.
More than 80 case studies have been produced and many of them highlight good practice. As much work is still in progress, we know the case studies are in early days. They will be updated twice a year to bring knowledge and experience to the field.

Mitt Romney became the target of mocking criticism Sunday from several of his Republican presidential rivals except Newt Gingrich, whose silence underscored his growing confidence as the party's nominating contest enters a critical week featuring the final televised debate of the year.
A day after Romney unwittingly created a fresh punch line when he extended his hand during a debate and tried to make a $10,000 bet with Gov. Rick Perry of Texas to settle a disagreement over health care, Perry said the exchange was the latest sign that his opponent was out of step with most voters.
"Having an extra $10,000 that you would throw down on a bet just seems very out of the ordinary," Perry said on the campaign trail. He smiled, adding, "I would suggest to you that $10,000 is pocket change for Mitt."
Former Utah Gov. Jon Huntsman, who did not meet requirements to participate in the debate because of his low poll numbers, sought to keep the exchange alive by suggesting that he would accept Romney's bet. Democrats joined in the criticism, too, piecing together a Web video of the unflattering commentary about Romney at the debate Saturday.
The remark from Romney not only drew attention to his wealth but also highlighted how he had grown defensive three weeks before the Republican voting begins at the Iowa caucuses. He sought Sunday to brush aside questions about the $10,000 wager but noted that his wife, Ann, told him after the debate, "A lot of things you do well; betting isn't one of them."
The Republican presidential candidates fanned out across Iowa, New Hampshire and the television talk shows Sunday, trying to deliver their arguments to voters as time runs short. There may be 23 days before the Iowa caucuses, but campaign strategists believe the next two weeks could be a pivotal time to make headway before voters tune out for the holidays.
Gingrich, who is a regular guest of Sunday morning programs, declined invitations to appear the day after he emerged relatively unscathed from withering attacks in the debate. He did not add his voice to the dust-up surrounding Romney, a sign that he viewed his current position as strong and saw no reason to engage his leading rival.
When Romney arrived in New Hampshire to deliver an afternoon speech, he struck a subdued tone. Asked by reporters why Gingrich seemed to be doing well, he suggested that his rise might be only temporary and included Gingrich's name with a string of Republicans whose stars have risen and later fallen, like Herman Cain and Donald Trump.
But advisers to Romney are taking Gingrich seriously and trying to determine how to raise questions about his candidacy that may resonate in the minds of voters.

First trails in single track trail network open! Celebrate with us Sept 25th 6pm
The first 2 km of singletrack trails in the McIntosh Run Trails Network are officially open to the public! The trails are designed and built by MRWA volunteers for hikers, bikers, runners and snowshoers. Motorized vehicles are prohibited. The trailhead is at the park on Norawarren Drive in Herring Cove (google map to trailhead). Join us for the official opening celebration on Monday September 25th at 6:00 pm.
The trails start with a fun curvy line through the forest and over two creeks on In-N-Out. At the end of In-N-Out, turn right to enter the Nora and Warren loops, where you'll weave through the forest on rolling granite bedrock, boardwalks, meticulous rock work and gently-upgraded rustic trails. When you return on Nora to the end of In-N-Out, continue straight onto West Pine, an upgraded rustic trail that leads through the forest to an open granite barren with a view of the ocean. When you reach the top of "The Notch", continue along West Pine for a more gradual (and really fun) new route down to the forest below. The Notch is a steep shortcut to the same spot. Here you will reach the end of the officially-approved trails.
The informal trail continues to West Pine Island Pond and the McIntosh Run, and will be upgraded this fall and next year. This trail is not signed and not upgraded: proceed with caution, at your own risk. Eventually the trail will cross the McIntosh Run and connect with the trail from Spryfield.

Do you want to improve your business' marketing strategy and refine your online profile?
This blog is going to go through some of the marketing techniques we employ at Approved Property Group, which will hopefully help give you an insight into taking your business to the next level!
If you imagine a funnel, your sales and marketing funnel, it starts quite wide and then gradually gets smaller and smaller, so at beginning of your sales funnel your bringing in lots of quality, qualified leads.
A great way of getting leads into your sales funnel is lead generation tools like videos and downloadable reports or Ebooks. This type of content is great for familiarising prospects with you and your business.
Once the leads are in your funnel it is important that you are providing them with great content and value, one of the best strategies is to give away your best content. HOWEVER this is NOT the stage you should be selling! this comes later down the line, once your leads have been warmed and you've built up a relationship with them online, for example inviting them to interact with your social media content is a great way of doing this.
the most efficient way to distribute your content to your leads from your funnel is using a CRM (customer relationship manager). This tool can distribute content to your list through the use of mass email or text marketing. This is an important tool, that is especially key to us at Approved Property Group.
There are loads of options out there for CRM systems, ranging from free all the way up to £100's a month depending on the functionality that you require and how complex you need it to go.
When it comes to marketing it's all about follow up. The biggest mistake people make with their list is not following up and being persistent with their content, keep the relationship going – send out content multiple times a week. However it is important that only 1 or 2 in 10 pieces of content are selling your products or services, as people can loose interest quick when you are all sell all the time.
These are all very broad fields but it is important to get creative and be different with your marketing, that's how you catch someones eye!
One of the things we always do with our prospects is follow up with a phone call, once they've been warmed with email, text and online content. We find it gets the best results for prospecting for us, as we get to know the person and what they are looking to get out of the business.
Before we get on the phone, we always make sure to ask ourselves what's the outcome we want from the call?
You need to get to one of these outcomes through quality questioning and quality conversation. Another vital part of this process for us is the face-to-face meeting. We don't take on partners until we've met with them and got to know them and what they want to get out of the business.

Knee stem cell therapy for world champion kickboxer
Jul 30, 2019 | Blog, Stem Cell News
World champion kickboxer and Muay Thai fighter Miriam Nakamoto will receive stem cell therapy for a severe knee injury, it has been announced. Nakamoto's treatment will be sponsored by UFC commentator and comedian Joe Rogan, after he interviewed her last year and learned about her struggle.
Back in 2013, Nakamoto sustained a serious tear on her meniscus cartilage during a fight and has been out of action ever since.
She has attempted several comebacks over the years but has always been held back by the grade 3 meniscus lesion, which cannot be repaired by traditional surgery. Years ago, she attempted to fundraise $30,000 for a stem cell therapy but fell short of her target.
What will surgery involve?
Nakamoto will travel to the Stem Cell Institute in Panama, where there have been more than 10,000 stem cell procedures since 2006.
She will be overseen by Dr Neil Riordan, a stem cell expert who established a clinic in panama to offer stem cell therapies almost fifteen years ago.
Riordan uses stem cells to treat a wide array of conditions – from arthritis to autism, heart failure to spinal cord injuries.
Nakamoto will have her torn meniscus cartilage removed before receiving a stem cell injection into her knee, with the aim of stimulating cartilage to regrow and regenerate the meniscus.
Coincidentally, Riordan received similar treatment himself back in 2013 to treat a 10-year-old knee injury of his own.
What is a meniscus tear?
The meniscus is a piece of cartilage that cushions and stabilises the knee joint. It is positioned on top of the tibia and helps the femur to glide smoothly when the knee moves.
A tear can occur due to a sharp twist, and often leads to knee arthritis.
It is thought that 40% of people over 65 have a meniscus tear, because blood flow to the knee joint slows down after we reach 40 and therefore inhibits repair and regrowth.
What are the symptoms of a meniscus tear?
A tear can be incredibly painful. Along with pain, it can also cause swelling. People with a tear might also find it difficult to bend or straighten their leg, and could experience a popping sound when they move.
How can stem cells treat a meniscus tear?
A paper published in the Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery found that a single stem cell injection after meniscus knee surgery could not only provide pain relief, but also support meniscus regrowth.
Patients received a single injection of donated adult stem cells, and improved meniscus size by up to 15% within a year.
"The results of this study suggest that mesenchymal stem cells have the potential to improve the overall condition of the knee joint," said Dr. Vangsness, who authored the study. "It begs the question: What if we give a series of injections?"


My firm does a lot of work with healthcare clients, and lately out in the field, what we are noticing more and more is that the fast-changing times are very challenging for them. They feel great pressure to reduce costs, improve quality, change care delivery, reduce readmissions, focus on the population's health, concentrate on the individual's utilization, and on and on.
Are you wondering how you can get your team to survive the new demands? Maybe you are being told that you need to be their leader, not just their manager. But then you are held accountable for managing them to the new, desired results. Perplexed?
It doesn't matter if it is a hospital or a multi-specialty group of doctors joining a new healthcare system. The demands upon leaders and staff to change is proving overwhelming.
One CEO expressed her dilemma so well: How can she "lead change" when it is coming from so many stakeholders? Everyone is expecting her to "do it better" so that the organization, the doctors, the patients and even the employees themselves all thrive. It is a lot to expect from those in management, especially when they feel they used to be quite capable of running operations (that was in a more stable environment).
What my firm has learned over our years of experience and what the neurosciences are confirming through recent research is that our brains hate to change. Since the brain already uses 25% of the body's energy, learning new things is just more work. So how does the brain cope? By allowing habits to take over, meaning that the old ideas and ways of doing things survive long past the time when they make any sense or add much value. Indeed, humans have survived and evolved because we disregarded new threats to established norms and habits.
But the times they are a-changin'. What to do?
Below, I will detail ways you can help your team, and yourself, love the novelty and pace of change and successfully implement new ways of working involving new policies and procedures.
But first, did you know that men and women prefer a "clan" culture and work better when their workplace emphasizes individual development with a premium on teamwork, participation and consensus? We found that out through business culture research we conducted last year. Keep that in mind as you start your change process. Do not think that this is about top-down telling others what to do. It is about engagement, personal development and collaboration.
Rewrite the story. People's brains, and the cultures they are a part of, build a perceptual model of reality that they learn, trust and fall back on when they have to get something done. These models are what we call a perceptual map of their personal and shared reality. If you are going to implement a change process that your team will actually embrace and put into practice, you need to rethink that core story. Step 1 then is to have your staff write down today's story and read it out loud. Then they need to write a second story about how the company is going to change and what it will mean for them if the new story (about a new, changed culture) succeeds in two years. Have them share their second (future) stories, too. Why? Each story will reveal to you the major obstacles your people are anticipating, i.e. their worst nightmares.
Anticipate the hurdles. Step 2 is to expect barriers coming out of their stories. Identify who is going to be essential to help the team mobilize for change. Make them key leaders in the transformation. What is important here is that in the new story, everyone on your team needs to become new players, performers and heroes. Hopefully, they will love being performers in the play they are writing.
Build in small wins. Step 3 revolves around creating small wins. Success breeds success. It also allows you to develop new metrics to better evaluate whether the changes are delivering the desired results. Celebrate each small win with the team. Then set forth an action plan for maximum engagement. You want everyone to be learning a new role and playing it at the same time.
Encourage skill development. Step 4 is all about skill development, which is essential. Over-train and over-communicate. Change programs often fail because people are told what to do or are directed to change. That might sound good. But change requires new skills, and your team members need time to learn how to perform their new jobs using these new skills.
Hold off changing your compensation structure. The lesson of Step 5 is not to focus on the financial rewards and salaries too soon. Yes, people do rank money as a necessary motivation, and there is excellent research that suggests that pay is much more important in people's actual choices and behaviors than it is in their self-reporting of what motivates them. Having said that, money alone is not a great motivator for change. What does motivate people the most? A feeling of camaraderie, shared effort, teamwork and celebrating shared success—far more than if they had done something alone.
Business leaders are not always clear about how to use a consultant to help the change process, but our experience has shown us that consultants can be indispensable to a change process, particularly as key advisers. Since they are outsiders, consultant specialists play important roles in changing organizations. As well as the expertise and experience they bring, they can motivate your team in ways that you perhaps cannot. Often workers need a thorn in their side to move them forward. Better that thorn be an outside voice rather than yours, their manager.
However, the idea is not to let consultants come and do it for you. They should facilitate the process with you. Otherwise, it is far too easy to blame the consultants when changes don't take place.
A successful change process ought to be about you and your team learning how to bring new solutions to life for your organization. When you plan it, manage it and put it into practice, you team will champion your leadership.


505 Games is back at Interface next month and looking forward to connecting with the unsung heroes of UK development".
The publisher attended the first Interface in May this year where it signed a new title.
Interface was a really productive event for 505 Games," commented head of global brand, Tim Woodley.
505 games joins a number of other publishers, including Channel 4's All 4 Games, Kiss and Sold Out who are all looking for new signings at Interface.


Granted, the Times says the task force "was more substantive because it included members of the cabinet who have the president's ear and the authority to carry out proposals." On the other hand, it sounds like precisely the kind of time-consuming task Biden was hoping to avoid.
"When Barack Obama, Senator Barack Obama then talked to me about being his vice president I said we have to – let's talk and we spent three and a half hours talking and one of the things I asked was, I said I don't want to be picked unless you're picking me for my judgment. I don't want to be the guy that goes out and has a specific assignment – an important assignment to reinvent government, which Al Gore did a great job of. Dealing with some specific discrete item. I said I want a commitment from you that in every important decision you'll make, every critical decision, economic and political as well as foreign policy, I'll get to be in the room," Biden said.
Has Obama kept his promise? I asked Biden.
"He's kept it. Every single solitary appointment he has made thus far I have been in the room, the recommendations I have made in most cases coincidentally have been the recommendations that he's picked. Not because I made them but because we think a lot alike. I have been there for every one of those meetings," he said.
For what it's worth, Stephanopoulos specifically asked him if the middle-class task force was the kind of assignment he was hoping to avoid. Biden said it's not because it's going to last "only for a certain period of time." I'm slightly skeptical, but if Biden feels like he's been in the room for the big decisions, then who am I to disagree?

U.S. company announces the first clinical trial of a Zika virus vaccine.
What We Know About the First Zika Vaccine Trial.
A U.S. company has announced the first clinical trial of a Zika vaccine intended to prevent the virus from spreading further.
Inovio Pharmaceuticals announced on Monday it will start a Phase I safety trial of their potential vaccine in the next few weeks. Here's what we know about this first vaccine candidate.
How does a Phase I trial work?
Inovio Pharmaceuticals has gained approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to test the safety of the vaccine in 40 volunteers, according to a statement from the company.
The first trial will be a Phase I trial, which means the goal is to ensure the vaccine is safe to use. The volunteers who get the vaccine will not be exposed to the Zika virus, but researchers will take note of any side effects they develop from the vaccine itself.
"Small groups of people three or four or five in a group are usually [given] different doses in a vaccine," by researchers, Dr. William Schaffner, an infectious disease expert at Vanderbilt University Medical Center, told ABC News. Researchers, "then test their blood afterwards to see what their response is."
This type of a vaccine uses a dead version of the virus to prime the immune system to build up a resistance and create specific proteins that target the virus. Part of the virus' DNA will be injected into the volunteers in the vaccine.
If the vaccine is deemed safe to use from this early trial, it will be expanded to a Phase II trial. It's during the Phase II and Phase III trial that researchers will look to see if the vaccine is effective at preventing a Zika virus infection.
US Olympic Committee 'Will Not' Stop Athletes From Going to Brazil.
How long will it take to get results?
The company expects to start administering the vaccine candidate in the next few weeks. The results of this initial study will likely be known later this year.
Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases at the National Institute of Health, explained Monday at WTOP Radio that Phase I trial results "usually takes maybe four months or so to see if it is safe."
"This is good news," Fauci said, speaking about the possibility of finding an effective and safe Zika vaccine.
Schaffner explained it will likely take years before a Zika vaccine can go through the necessary testing to be fully approved.
"It's still a long tunnel that we get to before we get to any vaccine and one that's safe," he explained.

Keeping your car clean will significantly help preserve its overall value, according to the Car Care Council.
Polishing your vehicle once every six months and washing it once a week prevents the buildup of damaging chemicals and dirt that may harm the vehicle's finish. In addition to regular care, it is important to look for any dents, dings, scratches or cracked glass. These problems, when left unattended, can lead to more expensive repairs down the line. Frequent washing and polishing is also the best way to protect your car's finish from the damaging effects of harsh ultraviolet rays and acid rain.
It is imperative to clean your car only with products sold specifically for cars which are specially formulated to ensure that the treatments your vehicle's manufacturer included on the paint finish remain intact. Using harsh detergents, like dish soap, that are not intended for use of vehicle exteriors can damage those protective layers leaving your vehicle even more vulnerable to the elements than before you washed it.
That first scratch hurts the most. So prevent the pain and keep your car looking newer longer with one of the highest quality, most durable paint protection films in the industry. It's the ultimate defense against road rash: rocks and pebbles, road debris, salt and sand.

The first to arrive is the shoveller followed by ruddy shelduck, mallard, coot, cormorant, egrets, wagtails, pond heron to name a few. Birds of prey like pallas fishing eagle, marsh harrier, greater spotted eagle, osprey and steppe eagle add to this magnificent diversity.
Monsoons: during June to September.
Winters might be the most exciting season for the bird lovers, but for the serious birdwatcher the other months of the year (early May to September end) offer just as exciting opportunities to see local migrants like painted stork, open billed stork, night heron. A flock of 25- 40 painted storks can be seen in these months every year.

Designing public services in the Western Isles - the hunt for ideas from the community begins
The first meeting took place in Barra on November 1st and meetings will continue throughout the month across the Islands.
Peter Urpeth Local Democracy Reporter
The first round of 'community conversations' organised by the Comhairle in a bid to 'find new ways to protect public services', and as part of its 'service redesign' process, got underway this week with events in Barra and Back.
Hosted by Comhairle senior officers and local councillors, the events opened with a series of presentations outlining the authority's budget projections for the next four years.
In the period, the Comhairle is facing the challenge of finding £10m of savings as a result of declining Government finance, cost inflation and growing demand for services, especially in terms of care services for an ageing local population.
At the Back event on Monday night the future rounds of the 'community conversation' process were outlined and the meeting was described by a Comhairle senior officer as 'the start of a journey'.
The Comhairle's Director of Education and Children's Services, Bernard Chisholm stated: "We face difficult financial challenges, and we are trying to be innovative, looking at a new partnership with communities – a participative, democratic approach to services, and how services will be delivered."
Robert Emmott, the Comahirle's finance director, warned of the additional challenge the Comhairle's finances could face with projections of a steep rise in inflation in the post-Brexit period.
BOOKLET DETAILING SERVICES FOR DISCUSSION
After the initial presentations, attendees were divided into groups based on their home village and issued with a booklet detailing individual services for discussion, with the introduction: 'This process of community engagement and empowerment is aimed at identifying those issues that are important to local communities, in addition to investigating ways that could reduce the demand for some services, identify other services that could be more efficiently provided by communities, and agree which services could be changed.'
Under each proposal community members were invited to tick boxes and make notes, defining a 'Community Rating of Proposal' with the option to respond as 'Positive', 'Needs further discussion' or 'Not Possible'.
Sixteen service provisions were outlined for discussion with additional space for new suggestions and proposals from the community.
The round-table discussions were facilitated by councillors and Comhairle senior staff, with an emphasis on discussion and feed-back rather than hard decision making at this event.
Among the proposals were discussions of the future of itinerant tuition in primary schools for music, art and PE, with options for partnerships with community organisations, such as Ceolas and Feisean being proposed.
The future of the community's role in school maintenance and janitorial services was outlined.
The future of local bus services, and the inter-island air service was discussed, with the potential for local 'community landlords' contributing to the cost of local transport services .
School transport services were also earmarked for discussions on community involvement, along with changes to the nature of assistants in special needs education and child care.
STORNOWAY ABBATOIR
Also on the list for discussion was the future of Stornoway abattoir.
In addition, the community were asked to examine proposals to 'rationalise' the school estate, review and unify the curriculum in secondary schools, and to provide meals in schools to the elderly, 'engaging older people in schools and the community on inter-generational activities.'
A proposal for new executive head teachers, over-seeing more than two schools, was also discussed.
The meeting was invited to discuss the future of childcare with 'community partnerships' being encouraged to look at providing 'efficient wrap-around care through activity clubs', and a review of charging levels for all non-statutory services, 'or consider not providing them at all'.
Moves to 'help link people with care needs more effectively to community support' were outlined, but with 'the need to sustain community buy-in and a willingness to support neighbours and friends who are becoming frail, but who are not yet at the stage of needing formal care.'
Controversial proposals to postpone the purchase of new mobile library service vans so that the future of the service could be discussed in the community conversation process, were outlined as part of discussions on whether local schools could be the home of new community libraries with a reduced mobile service.
During consideration of this item, Loch a' Tuath councillor, Donald Crichton, pointed out that consideration was also to be given to the potential for the library van service to be retained and to deliver additional services to the community.
Future events across the islands are due to take place in the coming weeks.

WEST YORKSHIRE POLICE RECRUITS TO TAKE DEGREE ROUTE
Three hundred new police officers, who are being recruited by West Yorkshire Police, will study for a degree as part of their training, which aims to equip student officers with the skills needed to tackle increasingly sophisticated crime.
In line with the national aim to make policing a recognised professional career, the trainees will be trained and mentored by experienced police officers at West Yorkshire Police's Learning and Development Centre in Wakefield and by academics at Leeds Trinity University. The student officers, who will complete a three-year Police Constable Degree Apprenticeship, will be paid police officers from day one, with all university fees being met by the force.
Assistant Chief Constable Angela Williams (pictured left) said: "Our new recruitment pathway will give budding police officers the chance to 'earn while they learn'. This is a great opportunity for anyone who has ever considered becoming a police officer to join us and see what an exciting and rewarding role it is."
Williams, who has been a police officer in West Yorkshire for 28 years, says she has loved every moment. "Every shift is different and challenging, but also rewarding. Being a police officer really is a job like no other and our Police Constable Degree Apprenticeships will prepare and train officers to deal with evolving serious and complex crime."
The three-year apprenticeship allows new officers to specialise as they move through the degree and they can look towards being a Detective, a Roads Policing Officer or a specialist working in local neighbourhood teams.
The first trainee officers will be appointed to the Police Constable Degree Apprenticeship programme in April 2020. A new Degree Holder Entry Programme will also open later this year to allow those who already hold a non-policing degree to complete a two-year learning programme to become a qualified police officer

Q: how to use in and order by at the same time in cassandra I see the official document: https://docs.datastax.com/en/cql/3.1/cql/cql_using/useColumnsSort.html
can use "SELECT * FROM users WHERE userID IN (102,104) ORDER BY age ASC;"
how to define the users table or materialized view?
PAGING OFF is a must?
Here is my current view:
CREATE MATERIALIZED VIEW navigation_by_id_time AS
       SELECT * FROM navigation
       WHERE competition_id IS NOT NULL AND event_type_id IS NOT NULL AND event_id IS NOT NULL AND market_id IS NOT NULL AND market_start_time IS NOT NULL AND market_suspend_time IS NOT NULL
       PRIMARY KEY (event_type_id, market_start_time, event_id, market_id, market_suspend_time);

This query doesn't work
select * from navigation_by_id_time where event_type_id in(1,2,3) order by market_start_time;

message="Cannot page queries with both ORDER BY and a IN restriction on the partition key; you must either remove the ORDER BY or the IN and sort client side, or disable paging for this query"
Thanks

A: Cassandra does not support paging when bth IN and ORDER BY are used. It is stated also in datastax documentation - Retrieval using IN keyword.
Also, if you inspect the code, you will also get some more explanations.
The check was added in JIRA-6722 and the explanations of the behaviour is:

It is however not all that easy in practice. If you query a full page
  of each partition and there is many partitions in the IN, you'll load
  tons of data in memory, defeating in large parts the goal of paging.
  If you instead query less than the page size of each partition, you
  now may need to re-query some of the partitions depending on what the
  merge sort yield on those first pages.

As a conclusion: you need to turn off paging in cqlsh. If you are using a Java client, this might help (also explains some more stuff).

If you're still hesitantly considering dipping your toe into the massive, mighty intimidating Dark Souls, consider first watching this video from the folks at "Lore in a Minute," which will get you at least a little up to speed on the goings on in the world.
Yes, there is a lot more to Dark Souls lore than they were able to cram into this 60-second crash course. In fact, as much as I enjoy these videos, I'd almost like to see a more spoiler-y, more in-depth sequel for some of these games. "Lore in Five Minutes?" Think of how much lore (and Adventure Time references) could fit in five minutes!

Q: (Qt) Cannot set font on widget well, I have defined two similar editor widgets LibroBancoEditor and ChequesEditor, they are used to input data to a database using the model/view framework.
After setting up the model and then the view on both widgets constructor comes the following:
view->setModel(proxy);//using a proxymodel to aling center items, shoud not affect the behavour
QFont font("Calibri", 12);
view->setFont(font);
view->resizeColumnsToContents();

The problem is: opening the program only cheques has the font I selected (libroBanco doesn't). Cannot fix it. I have tried changing the place of the calling but there was no results.
Here is a piece of the constructor of the main window...
    libroBanco = new LibroBancoEditor("Libro_Banco");
    cheques = new ChequesEditor("Cheques");

    connect(cheques,SIGNAL(printed(QSqlRecord)),libroBanco,SLOT(recivePrinted(QSqlRecord)));

    tabs = new QTabWidget();

    tabs->addTab(cheques,"Imprimir cheques");
    tabs->addTab(libroBanco,"Libro Banco");

    setCentralWidget(tabs);

    QFont font("Calibri", 12);
    setFont(font);
}

Any idea what could be causing the problem?
