Helping Patients Help Themselves?
by Jeffrey Peel | Dec 10, 2015 | Citizen Experience, Digital Policy | 0 comments
Martha Lane-Fox is the government's 'tsar of choice' when it comes to digital initiatives. Now a Baroness sitting in the House of Lords she has the ear of the upper house in the UK legislature and some friends in very high places in the Cabinet Office and beyond. Lane-Fox was also a founder, mover and shaker at the Government Digital Service (GDS). The recent UK government spending review pledged additional support for GDS-inspired digital initiatives.
Baroness Lane-Fox's latest project was to have a look at the NHS and think about how it could do things a bit better in terms of embracing digital technology to allow patients to get better health outcomes.
Her main recommendations have been made to the National Information Board and include the following:
making sure those with the most health and social care needs, who are often the least likely to be online, are included first in any new digital tools being used across the NHS
free WiFi in every NHS building
building the basic digital skills of the NHS workforce to ensure that everyone has the digital skills needed to support people's health needs
at least 10% of registered patients in each GP practice should be using a digital service such as online appointment booking, repeat prescriptions and access to records by 2017
The extent to which these things might result in better health outcomes isn't really known, of course. Providing ubiquitous WiFi in every NHS building, it could be argued, might provide useful distractions to patients but it may not result in better healthcare.
Moreover, many patients that avail of healthcare might be either too ill or educationally deprived to pull out an iPad to "take control of their care".
Lane-Fox's recommendations stopped short of recommending the types of digital healthcare initiatives being trail-blazed in other jurisdictions. In Singapore, for example, Project Silverline encourages people to donate old iPhones that are then forked with a suite of apps that can be used by people (especially the elderly) to keep in touch with loved ones. Japan is also trialing robotics to assist elderly patients with walking and toileting.
Healthcare is in crisis in most developed markets. The demands from an aging population, growing problems of obesity and escalating rates of chronic disease associated with obesity, are having a huge impact on healthcare spending. The extent to which pervasive WiFi represents the digital way forward for healthcare is questionable.
Digital technology is almost certainly going to help in many areas of healthcare provision. But too much of a focus on apps and here and now solutions may not be the answer.

Newsweek Essay: The Pistorius Trial Is a Parable About Celebrity, Not South Africa
By Rian Malan On 10/29/14 at 7:35 AM EDT

WorldOscar Pistorius Reeva Steenkamp Law South Africa
Even as the world's media began to converge on Pretoria's High Court for the final act in the Oscar Pistorius drama, officials of South Africa's National Prosecuting Authority were considering their options in a hauntingly similar case. Pistorius, as we know, was charged with murder after discharging four bullets into a locked toilet cubicle. He believed an intruder was lurking in there, poised to attack him. Instead, the shots killed his girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp, thereby triggering a series of events that culminated in what was arguably the criminal trial of the 21st century, broadcast live to a global audience of hundreds of millions.
Glenn Boshoff, who lived about 10 minutes' drive from Pistorius in Pretoria East, also killed someone. Woken at 3.30am by barking dogs, he tiptoed to the head of a staircase and saw shadowy figures climbing into his house through a broken window. Terrified, Boshoff raced to his gun safe, took up his weapon and levelled it at the closed bedroom door. When the handle turned, he pulled the trigger – only to discover that he'd put a bullet in the head of his eight-year-old daughter.
What distinguished this from the Pistorius shooting? Mostly that Oscar and his victim were rich and famous, whereas Glenn Boshoff was neither. What's more, Boshoff will not face criminal charges, despite the similarities between the two murders. Boshoff was a victim of South Africa's most common and most rapidly growing form of serious crime – the house robbery, in which an armed gang breaks into a home in the small hours of the morning in search of loot.
There are at least 50 such invasions every night, according to a study by Stats SA, South Africa's official statistical service. One will lead to murder, four will involve rape. All will result in terror and trauma. Calling the police is all but pointless; if they come at all, it might be in a day or two. So what do you do if you're Glenn Boshoff? You pray and pull the trigger, only to land up in a tragedy far worse than the one you imagined.
Intimate femicide
Since the start of the Pistorius trial several months ago, South Africa has been convulsed by acrimonious debate about the facts of his case and, especially, their deeper meaning. Some saw it as a parable about what South Africans call "intimate femicide", a shockingly common form of murder in which women are killed by domineering husbands or lovers. Others saw it is a morality play about guns and their misuse in a frontier society. I personally took it to be a shadowplay about unspoken racial antagonisms. Nobody said anything about Glenn Boshoff.
To be sure, there was a flurry of newspaper stories when he shot his daughter back in May 2012, but South Africa has around 17,000 murders a year – a rate five times higher than the global average – and the memory of Edith's death was soon washed away by a tide of blood. The police file on her shooting was handed to state prosecutors last June. When they announced their final decision last month, only one newspaper (an Afrikaans title called Rapport) bothered to report it: Glenn Boshoff would not be prosecuted for shooting his daughter.
Why? There was too little evidence to secure a conviction, said NPA spokesman Nathi Mncube. But there was also an unspoken corollary, immediately obvious to all South Africans: in our strange and ultra-violent society, it is possibly best not to probe such tragedies too deeply.
This was easy in the case of Boshoff, a marketing manager unknown outside the tool business. Pistorius was something else entirely. Born with a rare condition that necessitated amputation of both legs when he was 11 months old, Pistorius was raised by a headstrong, gun-toting mother who refused to allow him to succumb to self-pity. He would stand his ground. He would play rugby and run like any other boy. And lo, he did just that, eventually sprinting to fame and fortune on his sci-fi blades.
After the London Olympics of 2012, Pistorius became a superstar, his lustre immeasurably enhanced by the presence on his arm of Reeva Steenkamp, a model, law student and FHM cover girl. In the tabloids and society pages, Oscar and Reeva's life seemed an endless round of A-list parties, expensive cars and photo shoots on exotic beaches. When Reeva wound up dead in Oscar's bathroom, this was clearly an event that had to have consequences.
Pistorius' position was complicated by neighbours who maintained that some ominous shit went down in his house on the night of February 13, 2013. They said they heard a bitter argument around midnight, followed some hours later by the sound of a woman screaming, and then a fusillade of gunshots.
All this got into the papers, and thence into the public imagination, where it blossomed into a detailed narrative depicting Pistorius as a typical Boer male, armed to the teeth and determined to crush anyone weaker than himself. Almost everyone claimed to know someone who knew what really happened that night, and the narrative was usually something like this.
February 13th was the eve of St Valentine's Day. As the clock struck midnight, Reeva received a flirtatious text message from a well-known rugby player. Pistorius was furious. The shouting began. Reeva managed to calm him, but around 3am, things got out of hand. She grabbed her mobile phone and retreated into the bathroom. He took up a pistol and followed. Terrified, she locked herself into the bathroom, but Oscar's rage had grown incandescent, so he fired through the door, using lethal hollow-point ammunition that made a terrible mess of Reeva's beautiful face.
If we are to be honest, it was this story of lust, jealousy and vengeance that propelled Reeva's death to the top of the world's news agenda, creating anticipation so intense that most American and European TV networks hired local fixers and cameramen and committed massive resources to covering the murder trial.

Within days, it became clear that the pop-culture narrative could not be sustained. The state's depiction of Pistorius as a possessive and controlling male was undermined by WhatsApp exchanges showing him to be an amiable and tolerant boyfriend, even to the extent of sending best wishes and smiley emoticons as Reeva set off to see a broken-hearted former boyfriend. Worse yet, Oscar's closest neighbours offered a very different account from those who lived at some remove, and whose stories dominated early media coverage.

The nearby neighbours were adamant that there was no midnight argument. Their first inkling of trouble came just after 3am, when they heard four gunshots, followed by desperate screams in a male voice and then three sharp cracks, apparently caused by great whacks of a cricket bat as the athlete battered down the toilet door and came face to face with the terrible thing he'd done.
Then Oscar took the witness stand and offered his own version of events. He said he'd woken up in the dead of night to find two electric fans still spinning nearby. He got out of bed to turn them off, assuming that Reeva was still asleep beside him. Then he heard a bathroom window opening, and leapt to a conclusion that comes easily to a nervous South African – this was the start of yet another house robbery. He snatched his pistol off the bedside table and went to investigate. As he entered the bathroom, he heard sounds from behind the toilet door, and opened fire.
Ancestral memories
In her summation, Judge Thokozile Masipa reviewed the prosecution case and found it to be full of holes. Pistorius' story, on the other hand, could reasonably be true, she said. Her verdict: Pistorius had not intended to kill Reeva, and could thus not be found guilty of her murder. He had, however, been reckless and negligent, and was thus sentenced to five years for culpable homicide.
I was impressed. Judge Masipa had kept her head and held a steady course in the face of a hurricane of public opinion. Her verdict struck me as exemplary, but I was in a tiny minority. Even as Masipa rose to exit the courtroom, the internet lit up with tweets accusing her of allowing Pistorius to get away with murder.
"Pathetic slap on the wrist," declared one self-appointed commentator. Others said, "ridiculous" or "disgusting". Johannesburg radio host Eusebius McKaiser heard similar complaints from listeners. "Some 99% of my callers think the verdict is wrong," he declared. The ANC Women's League announced that it would fight to overturn the verdict on appeal, and ace blogger Ranjeni Munusami of dailymaverick.co.za could barely contain her rage about Pistorius's arrogance, privilege and allegedly insulting demeanour. "He fought against his disability and triumphed," she snarled, " and then became convinced that he was better than the rest of us."The interesting thing about this rant is that Munusamy acknowledges that Judge Masipa drew the only conclusion possible on the basis of the evidence presented to her: there were "absolutely no facts" to support a murder conviction. And yet Munusamy still felt she'd been denied something even she couldn't quite define.

Twenty years after apartheid's end, South Africa remains a cauldron of unresolved gender, class and racial antagonisms. As the Pistorius drama hurtled towards its denouement, my dreadlocked friend Bongani Madondo (a culture correspondent for the local edition of Rolling Stone) wrote an essay titled, "The Invisible Man". It began something like this: "Hi! I am the usual suspect, the Black Intruder they forgot to call to the witness stand. Remember me?"
Madondo was nowhere near as angry as Munusamy, but he did have an edgy point to make: so Pistorius didn't intend to kill his lovely blonde girlfriend? So what. He did intend to kill the black man he thought was hiding behind that toilet door.
This is the key (I think) to understanding negative reaction to Judge Masipa's verdict. For centuries, South Africa was a place where white males did as they pleased. The wounds they inflicted are ancient and deep and not really healed. It is hardly surprising that in their hearts, many black South Africans wanted to see the rich white boy brought down low, even though the facts didn't really support their yearning for retribution. Hence the coded messages: the verdict was a setback for gender rights and gun control. Or, the verdict set a dangerous legal precedent and had to be overturned lest it encourage further outbreaks of trigger-happiness among heavily-armed white males.
Would a murder conviction really have made a difference? For an answer, we must turn to a drama that played out in a Johannesburg township two days after Masipa handed down her controversial judgment. The setting was a squatter camp adjacent to Leratong Village, a place of tin shacks, dusty roads and hopeless poverty. On the night of October 22, residents came across a stranger trundling a bar fridge across their turf. "He was carrying a knife," said a witness. "That's what made people think he was a thug," and that his fridge was surely stolen. On this basis, someone raised a hue and cry. The suspect was surrounded by vigilantes, doused with petrol and burned to death.
White South Africans often perceive violent crime as an almost genocidal threat to their survival. In truth, crime against whites is an insignificant part of the overall picture, and Steenkamp's shooting was little more than a sideshow. The murder stories that truly resonate in this country are extra-judicial executions carried out by mobs of poor black people, tormented beyond endurance by crime and utterly bereft of faith in the police, who are often considered corrupt and incompetent. So they beat or burn criminal suspects to death in broad daylight. Several of these executions have been captured on mobile phones and broadcast on YouTube or published in the Daily Sun, South Africa's leading tabloid.
The story of the Leratong Village lynching made page 5 of the Daily Sun, accompanied by a photograph of the anonymous victim lying in the road, his body twisted into a grotesque rictus of blackened flesh and sinew. "Bar fridge thief busted and burned," said the jocular headline.
Some years ago, a case like this might have made the tabloid's front page, but mob justice has become commonplace. Earlier this year, police told a commission of inquiry that mob killings were claiming an average of five lives a month just in Khayalitsha, a vast sprawl of anarchy and misery on the outskirts of Cape Town. Daily Sun publisher Jeremy Gordin, whose job gives him a national perspective, says his news desk receives "three to six" tip-offs a week about extra-judicial killings, "and more at the end of the month, when people have been drinking."
Mob justice
The curious thing about these cases, says Gordin, is that community leaders who condone or even lead mob killings will look you in the eye and say, "Yes, we did it, and we will do it again, because we have no choice; because the police do not protect us." Cops also struggle to protect those who die in these lynchings, often because they are too scared to intervene. In some cases, uniformed policemen have been photographed standing amongst the curious onlookers, watching as some wretch is put to death. There may be hundreds of witnesses, but the vigilantes seldom wind up in jail. "We've never covered a trial that led to convictions in a mob justice case. Never."
Clearly, this is a worrying trend. Mob killings were fairly common in the apartheid era, when Africans had little faith in white policemen and no mercy for those who collaborated with them. After 20 years of democracy, it might be assumed that black communities have learned to trust police and to offer the sort of intelligence that would enable them to control "policeable" crimes like house robbery. Not so. After years of slow decline, South African crime rates recently surged upwards again, with sharp increases in robbery and murder.
"Broader South African society is exhausted," says Lizette Lancaster, a senior researcher at South Africa's Institute for Security Studies. "Nothing seems to work. People are at their wits' end."
Lancaster warns that "desperation alone does not make people violent." This is true, but it is also true that nearly four out of five young black people have no work, and that the cost of mealie meal, the staple food of the poorest poor, has risen 40% in a single year. Worse yet, the indicators are all pointing downwards as investors begin to shun a country increasingly perceived as dangerously unstable. For those at the bottom of society, trapped in squatter camps where the murder rate is typically 50 to 80 times higher than Britain's, the prospects are very bleak indeed.
Against this backdrop, all that can really be said about the Pistorius trial is that it distracted South Africa from its real problems. Those problems are deep and possibly intractable, whereas the ballad of Oscar and Reeva offered opportunities for easy moralising and much titillation besides. South Africans were dumbfounded by the intensity of foreign interest in the Pistorius trial. As a news story, it rivalled even the death of Nelson Mandela, and any story that accomplished that was surely imbued with vast significance.
Or was it? In the end, I don't think so. In the end, Pistorius was a parable about celebrity, not South Africa. Oscar and Reeva were the golden couple, the heroic disabled athlete and his beautiful 'it' girl. Reeva was by most accounts an almost perfect human being, but the blade runner had a fatal flaw. Even his family acknowledges that he coped badly with fame, becoming a spoiled, arrogant brat, drinking too much and using fast cars and dangerous guns to pull girls and impress his swashbuckling buddies. His recklessness cost a life and he deserved the prison sentence handed down to him.
If we are to judge from the experience of daughter-killer Glenn Boshoff, Pistorius' spell behind bars might be the least of his sufferings. In an interview with Rapport last week, Boshoff came across as a broken man. His wife left him after the shooting, unable to live with what he'd done. Members of his own family turned against him, urging prosecutors to send him to jail. All this was as nothing alongside his own bitter self-recrimination. "I think about [the shooting] every day," he said. "It will never get better."

Rig-building woes hitting KepCorp, SembMarine hard
The Keppel FELS shipyard.PHOTO: KEPPEL CORPORATION
Jan 8, 2016, 5:00 am SGT

Andy Mukherjee
sto13@sph.com.sg
The last time Singapore's marine services industry was staring at what would eventually turn out to be an 18-year drought in demand for oil rigs, Mr Ronald Reagan was starting his second term as US President.
Jack-up rigs, used to drill for oil in shallow waters, saw orders evaporate between 1985 and 2003. As Macquarie notes, rampant overcapacity means such a prolonged slump could well occur again. That definitely would not be good news for the rig-building industry's two Singaporean leaders - Keppel Corp and Sembcorp Marine.
After a decade-long boom, there were zero new orders globally for jack-up rigs last year. With oil prices swooning, and rigs' daily rental rates having crashed to US$92,000 (S$132,000) from US$130,000 in 2014, there's a risk that 70 per cent of Keppel and SembMarine's order book might get cancelled, especially if the Petrobras bribery scandal in Brazil deepens, Macquarie analysts Somesh Kumar Agarwal and Justin Chiam wrote this week.
If the downturn does indeed end up being a repeat of That 80s Show, rig-builders' shares may have to give back much of the China-induced exuberance of the past decade. That could be quite painful for investors, including Temasek.
The Singapore investment firm owns a little less than half of SembMarine's parent, Sembcorp Industries, and 21 per cent of Keppel, Bloomberg data shows. It can't be feeling very chuffed about the 47 per cent slump in SembMarine over the past year, or Keppel's 26 per cent slide.
And there might be more trouble ahead. Since early 2004, the two stocks have returned about 300 per cent, thanks primarily to hefty dividends. Those might now start thinning out. According to analyst estimates compiled by Bloomberg, Keppel's dividends will shrink by as much as 11 per cent over the next three years, compared with annualised growth of 3 per cent over the past three.
No orders coming in doesn't augur well for shareholders, who will be far behind debtholders in getting paid, and the latter will have substantial claims. Oil- and gas- linked companies with outstanding Singdollar-denominated bonds have to refinance or repay some $625 million of notes this year, a further $390 million in 2017 and $700 million in 2018, Bloomberg-compiled data shows.
The other big risk comes from the duo's Brazilian yards. Japanese shipbuilders like Mitsubishi Heavy are cutting their losses and exiting as the Petrobras saga drags on.
Stock in Ensco, the London-based owner of shallow and deepwater rigs, has been hit after Petrobras said it was scrapping a contract in the US Gulf of Mexico because, it claims, Ensco knew about improper payments between a shipbuilder and a consultant when the drillship was constructed, a charge Ensco denies.
Analysts are being predictably slow in sounding the alert. Their median price estimate predicts a 25 per cent jump over the next year in Keppel shares, and a 15 per cent climb in SembMarine.
Were that triumph of hope over experience to prove elusive, what might Temasek do? It recently decided to sell shipping company Neptune Orient Lines to CMA CGM at $1.30 a share, after having paid as much as $2.80 in 2004 to acquire a part of its 67 per cent stake.
If the Macquarie analysts are right about Keppel and SembMarine eventually trading below book value, like South Korean yards do, then there may not be much point in Temasek's hanging on to the rig-builders either.

Embossing is a technique carried out on the reverse side of a plate placed on a very soft surface in which chisels, that come in various shapes and sizes, are used to form a raised design on the front of the metal sheet. By working on the reverse of the piece, the artist creates a three-dimensional design in relief.
The details of the design are refined and brought out on the front of the work (not on the reverse), using thinner chisels in order to obtain a detailed and accurate piece.
The final step entails the strengthening of the piece so that the design in relief is supported and will not change shape. Depending upon the nature of the metal used, strengthening can be achieved by hardening the work itself or by filling the voids on the reverse with malleable materials like wax, plaster or rubber that once cooled and hardened will help the raised design to maintain its shape.


When she has chosen a nest the queen will begin to collect pollen from flowers, to bring back to the nest. She forms a mound of pollen and wax (which she secretes from her body) and lays her first brood of eggs. She also collects nectar which she stores in a pot-shaped structure made of wax which is positioned in front of her mound. The queen keeps the eggs warm by sitting on her wax 'nest' and shivering her muscles to keep warm. Sipping from the nectar-pot gives her enough energy to incubate the eggs for several days until little white grub-like larvae emerge. These larvae are fed on pollen and nectar which the queen goes back and forth to collect from nearby flowers. Once they have eaten enough, after around two weeks, they spin a cocoon, inside which they develop into adult bees.
They key factor in all of this, obviously, is flowers, and that's where bumblebees need our help. Click here to read about how you can do your bit to make your garden bee-friendly.

Hello everyone… Welcome to the Winter 2017 Coffee Lovers Blog Hop! I believe we – coffee/tea/cocoa loving cardmakers/papercrafters – have been waiting for this moment 😀 This is the time of the year we share our Winter themed coffee/tea/cocoa projects to inspire each other! Today is the Day 7 and I have another fun coffee card to share with you!
Let's gather all your coffee/tea/cocoa supplies and get crafty for this fun blog hop and link up party. It will be so much fun, lots of inspirations, and also… TONS OF PRIZES to win!
Today's card I created using the Coffee Love Stamp Set and Happy Art Stamp Set from Precious Remembrance Shop.
The paper and ink pads are from Close To My Heart. We have also a Super Sponsor from Close To My Heart. Check out Chris Franco' CTMH website for beautiful CTMH Collections!
I stamped the cup on the Snowhaven patterned paper (retired paper) with Black Ink pad. And the stamped one more time on a white cardstock piece. Then I fussy cut the whole cup from the patterned paper, and the lid and sleeve from the white cardstock. I added the lid and sleeve on the cup with adhesive. Then using Mini MISTI, I stamped the sentiment with Cranberry Ink Pad on the sleeve. Then I added some black fun foam on the back of the card.
For the background, I stamped the images with Mini MISTI. I stamped the scribble image with Slate Ink Pad. I stamped the triangles with Glacier Ink Pad, and the triangle outline images with Cranberry Ink Pad.
Then I added the cup on the card with adhesive. The fun foam makes it pop up just like using 3D foam tape. I added some silver star sequins from Pretty Pink Posh, who is also one of the Super Sponsors.
I stamped the line border from Coffee Love Stamp Set with Glacier Ink Pad using clear acrylic block. With Clear Stamp, you can stretch the stamp like this one. The line border stamp is not long enough for card size, I stamped it and then extended the line with second stamping next to it.
And my clean-and-simple coffee card is done 🙂 I hope you can enjoy it today. If you have not yet join this blog hop party, you still have time to link up your project at Coffee Loving Cardmakers Blog until December 15, mid night Pacific time. Cannot wait to see your projects!
Thank you so much for stopping by my blog today! Have a fabulous caffeinated day!
I love how you decked out that cup in such festive papers. Beautiful!
Love the way your cup looks. The little bit of red polka dot paper really stands out.
awesome cup and love the designs.
Love the neat fussy cutting and the treatment to this pretty coffee cup, great design!
Helen! Great paperpiecing! Love the colors and patterns you've used!
Love the fun strips of pattern Helen!
Cute. I like the stars and papers.
Love your mix of papers on here!

WhatsApp selects 20 teams to curb fake news globally, including India
New Delhi– Facebook-owned WhatsApp on Tuesday announced that it has selected 20 research teams worldwide – including experts from India and those of Indian origin — who will work towards how misinformation spreads and what additional steps the mobile messaging platform could take to curb fake news.
Shakuntala Banaji from London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE), Anushi Agrawal and Nihal Passanha from Bengaluru-based media and arts collective "Maraa" and Ramnath Bhat from LSE have been selected for the paper titled "WhatsApp Vigilantes? WhatsApp messages and mob violence in India".
The research examines the ways in which WhatsApp users understand and find solutions to the spate of "WhatsApp lynchings" that has killed over 30 people so far.
The Indian government has also directed WhatsApp to take necessary remedial measures to prevent proliferation of fake and, at times, motivated/sensational messages on its platform.
Among others selected were Vineet Kumar from Ranchi-headquartered Cyber Peace Foundation (principal investigator), Amrita Choudhary, President of the Delhi-based non-profit Cyber Caf� Association of India (CCAOI) and Anand Raje from Cyber Peace Foundation.
They will work as a team on the paper titled "Digital literacy and impact of misinformation on emerging digital societies".
P.N. Vasanti from Centre for Media Studies in New Delhi will work with Shyam Sundar, The Pennsylvania State University (Principal Investigator) to examine the role of content modality in vulnerability to misinformation, under the topic titled "Seeing is Believing: Is Video Modality More Powerful in Spreading Fake News?"
WhatsApp had issued a call for papers in July this year and received proposals from over 600 research teams around the world.
"Each of the 20 research teams will receive up to $50,000 for their project (for a total of $1 million)," WhatsApp said in a statement.
Lipika Kamra from O.P. Jindal Global University and Philippa Williams from the Queen Mary University of London (Principal Investigator) will examine the role of WhatsApp in everyday political conversations in India, in the context of India's social media ecosystem.
According to Mrinalini Rao, lead researcher at WhatsApp, the platform cares deeply about the safety of its over 1.5 billion monthly active users globally and over 200 million users in India.
"We appreciate the opportunity to learn from these international experts about how we can continue to help address the impact of misinformation," Rao said.
"These studies will help us build upon recent changes we have made within WhatsApp and support broad education campaigns to help keep people safe," she added.
The recipients are from countries including Brazil, India, Indonesia, Israel, Mexico, Netherlands, Nigeria, Singapore, Spain, the UK and US.
WhatsApp said it is hosting them in California this week so they can hear from product leaders about how it builds its product.
"Given the nature of private messaging – where 90 per cent of the messages sent are between two people and group sizes are strictly limited – our focus remains on educating and empowering users and proactively tackling abuse," said the company.
WhatsApp recently implemented a "forward label" to inform users when they received a message that was not originally written by their friend or loved one. To tackle abuse, WhatApp has also set a limit on how many forwards can be sent.
In India, WhatsApp has partnered with the Digital Empowerment Foundation to train community leaders in several states on how to address misinformation.
"We are also running ads in several languages — in print, online, and on over 100 radio stations — amounting to the largest public education campaign on misinformation anywhere in the world," the company noted.
Sayan Banerjee from University of Essex, Srinjoy Bose from University of New South Wales and Robert A. Johns from University of Essex will study "Misinformation in Diverse Societies, Political Behaviour & Good Governance".
Santosh Vijaykumar from Northumbria University, Arun Nair from Health Systems Research India Initiative and Venkat Chilukuri, Srishti Institute of Art, Design and Technology are part of the team that will study "Misinformation Vulnerabilities among Elderly during Disease Outbreaks". (IANS)

Q: Pandas, group by count and add count to original dataframe? When trying to count rows with similar 'kind' in data frame:
import pandas as pd

items = [('aaa','aaa text 1'), ('aaa','aaa text 2'), ('aaa','aaa text 3'),
         ('bb', 'bb text 1'), ('bb', 'bb text 2'), ('bb', 'bb text 3'),
         ('bb', 'bb text 4'),
         ('cccc','cccc text 1'), ('cccc','cccc text 2'),
         ('dd', 'dd text 1'),
         ('e', 'e text 1'),
         ('fff', 'fff text 1'),
        ]

df = pd.DataFrame(items, columns=['kind', 'msg'])
df

    kind    msg
0   aaa     aaa text 1
1   aaa     aaa text 2
2   aaa     aaa text 3
3   bb      bb text 1
4   bb      bb text 2
5   bb      bb text 3
6   bb      bb text 4
7   cccc    cccc text 1
8   cccc    cccc text 2
9   dd      dd text 1
10  e       e text 1
11  fff     fff text 1

This code works:
df = df[['kind']].groupby(['kind'])['kind'] \
                         .count() \
                         .reset_index(name='count') \
                         .sort_values(['count'], ascending=False) \
                         .head(5)

df

Resulting in:
    kind      count
    0   aaa   1
    1   bb    1
    2   cccc  1
    3   dd    1
    4   e     1

Yet, how can one get a data frame with all columns as in original one plus 'count' column? So the result should have  columns 'kind', 'msg', 'count' in this order?
Also, how to sort this resulting data frame in descending order of count?

A: IIUC
In [247]: df['count'] = df.groupby('kind').transform('count')

In [248]: df
Out[248]:
    kind          msg  count
0    aaa   aaa text 1      3
1    aaa   aaa text 2      3
2    aaa   aaa text 3      3
3     bb    bb text 1      4
4     bb    bb text 2      4
5     bb    bb text 3      4
6     bb    bb text 4      4
7   cccc  cccc text 1      2
8   cccc  cccc text 2      2
9     dd    dd text 1      1
10     e     e text 1      1
11   fff   fff text 1      1

sorting:
In [249]: df.sort_values('count', ascending=False)
Out[249]:
    kind          msg  count
3     bb    bb text 1      4
4     bb    bb text 2      4
5     bb    bb text 3      4
6     bb    bb text 4      4
0    aaa   aaa text 1      3
1    aaa   aaa text 2      3
2    aaa   aaa text 3      3
7   cccc  cccc text 1      2
8   cccc  cccc text 2      2
9     dd    dd text 1      1
10     e     e text 1      1
11   fff   fff text 1      1

A: Here is the simple code to count the frequencies and add  a column to the data frame when grouping by the kind column.
df['count'] = df.groupby('kind')['kind'].transform('count')

A: This can also be achieved as part of a chain by
df.assign(
  count=lambda x: x.groupby('kind')['kind'].transform('count')
)

This is useful if you already have a chained expression, or you need to pass the dataframe with the extra column to a function but don't want to overwrite the dataframe.

On April 2, 2008, Mary Pope Osbourne and her sister Natalie Pope Boyce, came to Tree Top Kids in Mclean, VA. The sisters had come to a special book signing event of Mary's Dark Day in the Deep Sea –book #39 in her phenomenal series, The Magic Tree House, and Natalie's research guide, Sea Monsters.
For those of you who are not familiarwith The Magic Tree House series – who am I kidding here -the books are about two siblings, Annie and Jack. They take adventures around the world—to far off places and through the ages—in their magic tree house. The books are a perfect blend of fiction and non-fiction, and make learning history a blast. The chapters are short, there are a few illustrations throughout, and there is always a mystery to be solved. The research guides perfectly complement each story with the wonderful non-fiction facts, adding to the learning experience of The Magic Tree House.
Before the book signing began, Mary Pope Osbourne talked briefly with her very captive audience. She engaged her audience by involving them in the decision making process of choosing the next topic for more books in the series. The families were also able to vote on titles for the books. This is such an amazing opportunity that she gives to her readers – how cool for a child to be reading one of their favourite novels knowing that they had something to do with the content and title – a sure way to keep kids motivated to read. Watch out for books on penguins, pandas, and rescue dogs. Thank you Mary and Natalie for inspiring and motivating children to read.

This means that when you book a holiday with us you can be entirely confident that in the unlikely event of our insolvency before or during your holiday, any money you have paid to us is fully secured, and if you are overseas, that arrangements will be made to repatriate you at the end of your holiday.
This is an agreement for the sale and supply of a Package Holiday with SimplySun Limited trading, trading as Holidays with Aer Lingus. Please read these booking terms and conditions before confirming your booking. They apply to all holidays which include flights described on our website and they deal with your rights and obligations to us and ours to you. We are committed to a policy of fair-trading and make every effort to ensure you have an enjoyable holiday with us.
In these Booking Conditions the word "Organiser" means SimplySun Limited, trading as Holidays with Aer Lingus, the person who arranges your flights, transport, accommodation etc. and who offers it as a holiday. "Consumer" means you, the person who takes or agrees to take the holiday or any person on whose behalf you agree to purchase the holiday and who is listed on the confirmation invoice or any other person to whom you transfer a holiday which you have bought. You must be authorised to make the booking on the basis of these booking conditions by all persons listed on the booking (and their parent or guardian for anyone under the age of 18 at the time of booking) and you are responsible for ensuring that all those listed have read the booking conditions and agree to abide by them. The lead name is responsible for making all payments due to us.
a) No contract shall arise until the Organiser has received a deposit or full payment for the holiday and has issued written confirmation of its acceptance to the Consumer. An internet booking is a confirmed booking once the Consumer has received a Booking Reference number. The terms of the contract between the Consumer and the Organiser are contained solely in this document, the Organiser's confirmation, the Organiser's brochure or other descriptive material, any airline or sailing ticket issued, the terms and conditions of any suppliers of services and the itinerary issued by the Organiser.
II. the accommodation in which the Consumer is staying is damaged, the Consumer, hereby agrees to indemnify the Organiser against any claim (including legal costs) made against the Organiser in relation to the occurrence of such incidents.
As very few of the hotels or apartments are specifically designed or suited to persons with special needs, we cannot guarantee that the properties or their facilities will cater adequately for disabled persons' special needs. It is your responsibility to read the property descriptions very carefully before making a final selection and you must contact us by telephone prior to you proceeding with your booking, to advise us of any special requirements you may have, as we need to ensure that your selection will meet your particular requirements. This might involve us contacting the relevant property on your behalf to confirm that your special needs will be met. If you have not advised us of your special requirements at the time of booking, we shall not be held responsible for any diminution of enjoyment; any deficit in your chosen hotel or apartment or any facility that does not meet your special needs and no compensation shall be forthcoming if we have not been informed prior to your departure.
It shall be the Consumer's responsibility to disclose prior to booking to the Organiser any physical or mental condition of a member of his party which may be relevant and no liability shall attach to the Organiser for the provision of an unsuitable holiday for a disabled person where disclosure of the disability has not been made to the Organiser. The Organiser reserves the right to decline to provide a holiday for a person with a disability where, in the Organiser's opinion, that holiday would be inconsistent with the special needs of that person.
Special requests (e.g. ground floor accommodation, sea view, etc.) shall be communicated by the Consumer in writing to the Organiser or Retailer at the time of making the booking. The Organiser shall use reasonable endeavours to fulfil such requests. The granting of such requests is the sole responsibility of the relevant supplier. No liability shall attach to the Organiser for failure to comply with a special request and such requests do not form part of the contract.
a) The consumer shall contact the Organiser immediately if any information that appears on the confirmation invoice or any other document appears to be incorrect or incomplete, as it may not be possible or may be costly to make changes later. (e.g. the first name / family name of all passengers) We regret that we cannot accept any responsibility if you do not tell us about any mistake in any documents within ten days of our sending it out. We will do our best to rectify any mistake notified to us but you may be required to meet any of the costs involved (e.g. name change fees charged by an airline).
b) The Consumer is solely responsible for ensuring that he presents himself at the airport or port of departure in sufficient time prior to the designated departure time to complete embarkation requirements. If the Consumer arrives late at the airport or port of departure, the Organiser shall not be obliged to carry the Consumer and shall be entitled to treat the holiday as having been cancelled by the Consumer. It is also the sole responsibility of the Consumer to ensure that all travel documentation i.e. passports, visas (where relevant) etc. are in order.
c) The Consumer is restricted by regulation of carriers and executive authorities with regard to the weight, type and contents of baggage which he may take on board the craft and/or vehicles which will be used in connection with the holiday. The Consumer shall be responsible for ascertaining any limitations which apply in this regard and shall not present himself at the airport or port of departure with any prohibited item in his luggage or on his person or with items which exceed weight or dimension restrictions applicable.
d) The Consumer hereby agrees that he shall abide by all instructions or directions given by a member of the Organiser's staff or any crew member of carrier's craft or vehicle used in connection with the holiday and hereby agrees to indemnify the Organiser against any loss or injury suffered or incurred by any other person as a consequence of the Consumer's failure to act in accordance with any such direction or instruction.
e) The Consumer undertakes to behave himself in a proper manner and not to cause any disturbance in or around the accommodation he occupies, which may cause offence or diminution of enjoyment of a holiday to other holiday makers. The Consumer further undertakes to leave his accommodation in good condition and not to cause any damage or destruction to the accommodation or its contents. In the event that damage or destruction is caused to the accommodation the Consumer agrees to pay the owner or management of such establishment the cost of repair or replacing such damage.
b) an event which the Organiser, the Retailer acting on his behalf or the supplier of services, even with all due care, could not foresee or forestall. In the case of damage, other than death or personal injury or damage caused by the wilful misconduct or gross negligence of the Organiser the amount of compensation which will be paid to the Consumer will be limited to, in the case of an adult an amount equal to double the inclusive price of the Package to the adult concerned, and, in the case of a minor an amount equal to the inclusive price of the Package to the minor concerned.
IV. any payments that the Organiser is obliged to make will be limited in accordance with and/or in an identical manner to that provided for by the International Convention concerned (in each case including in respect of the conditions of liability, the time for bringing any claim and the type and amount of any damages that can be awarded). International Conventions which may apply include: in respect of international air travel, The Warsaw Convention 1929 (including as amended by the Hague Protocol of 1955 and by any of the additional Montreal Protocol of 1975) or the Montreal Convention 1999; in respect of rail travel, the Berne Convention 1961, in respect of carriage by sea, the Athens Convention 1974; in respect of carriage by road, the Geneva Convention 1973; and, in respect of hotels, the Paris Convention 1962. For the avoidance of doubt, this means that the Organiser is to be regarded as having all benefit of any limitations of compensation contained in any of these conventions or any other International Conventions applicable to the Consumer's liability.
Land, sea and air carriers will have their own conditions of carriage with which you must comply. In the case of sea travel the provisions of the Athens Convention 1974 relating to the carriage of passengers and their luggage by sea may apply. This Convention and the sea carrier's conditions of carriage may continue to apply to You and Your party throughout Your stay on board the ship and during boarding and disembarkation. This Convention presumes that Your baggage has been delivered undamaged unless you will give full written details to the carrier (1) in the case of apparent damage before You disembark from the ship or the baggage is redelivered to You; or (11) in the case of damage which is not apparent or of loss, within 15 days of disembarkation or from the time when the luggage should have been redelivered to You. The Athens Convention, and the carrier's conditions may limit or exclude liability for death or personal injury, or loss of or damage to luggage, and make special provision for valuables.
There are no financial limits to the liability for passenger injury or death. For damages up to 113,100 SDRs, the air carrier cannot contest claims for compensation. Above that amount, the air carrier can defend itself against a claim by proving that it was not negligent or otherwise at fault.
Advance payments: If a passenger is killed or injured, the air carrier must make an advance payment, to cover immediate economic needs, within 15 days from the identification of the person entitled to the compensation. In the event of death, this advance payment shall not be less than 16,000 SDRs.
Passenger delays: In the case of passenger delay, the air carrier is liable for damage unless it took all reasonable measures to avoid the damage or it was impossible to take such measures. The liability for passenger delay is limited to 4,694 SDRs.
Baggage delays: In the case of baggage delay, the air carrier is liable for damage unless it took all reasonable measures to avoid the damage or it was impossible to take such measures. The liability for baggage delay is 1,131 SDRs.
Destruction, loss or damage to baggage: The air carrier is liable for destruction, loss or damage to baggage up to 1,131 SDRs. In the case of checked baggage, it is liable even if not at fault, unless the baggage was defective. In the case of checked baggage, the carrier is liable only if at fault.
Complaints on baggage: If the baggage is damaged, delayed, lost or destroyed, the passenger must write and complain to the air carrier as soon as possible, in the case of damage to checked baggage, the passenger must write and complain within 7 days and in the case of delay within 21 days, in both cases from the date on which the baggage was placed at the passenger's disposal.
Basis for the information: The basis for the rules described above is the Montreal Convention of 28 May 1999, which is implemented in the Community by Regulation (EC) No. 2027/97 (as amended by Regulation (EC) No. 889/2002 and national legislation of the Member States). A copy of any conditions of carriage applicable to the holiday and the Conventions referred to above, can be supplied on request.
a) If the Consumer wishes to make a complaint in relation to a holiday, he must immediately inform the Organiser's representative or agent at the location where the complaint arises (the contact details for the Organiser's representative or agent are on the Consumer's holiday voucher) and shall if the Organiser requires, complete a form setting out the detail of the Consumer's complaint. If the Consumer fails to comply with such requirement, the Organiser shall be entitled to recover the cost from the Consumer of any additional expense incurred by it in carrying out subsequent investigation of a complaint, which is found to be unjustified.
b) The Consumer shall be obliged to notify the Organiser in writing of any complaint not later than 28 days after his return to the airport or port of departure or termination of the holiday whichever is the earlier and no complaint received thereafter shall be entertained.
SimplySun Ltd., trading as Holidays with Aer Lingus will provide each Consumer with the information required to make a complaint or seek compensation from a carrier that acted negligently in their duty. However the Organiser will not enter into correspondence on behalf of the consumer or seek compensation for delayed / lost / damaged or stolen baggage.
The terms of the contract (as provided for in Clause 1(a) in these booking conditions) are to be interpreted under and are subject to the laws of the Republic of Ireland and the parties hereby irrevocably submit to the jurisdiction of the Courts of the Republic of Ireland.
Our booking deposit is €1 per person (£1 GBP) plus relevant checked-in baggage and infant fees for European Sun Holidays & City Breaks with Aer Lingus flights booked more than 10 weeks in advance. The 2nd deposit of €150 is payable 4 weeks later and will be automatically charged to the credit/debit card used at the time of booking.
You are liable for and must pay in full all non-refundable elements as outlined in the booking process and confirmation invoice.
Loss of all non-refundable elements* plus €50 administration fee applies.
100% of the cost of the holiday is forfeited.
Accommodation costs in some cases are also non-refundable. These will be indicated during the booking process and thereafter highlighted on the confirmation invoice.
Please note that some countries and / or resorts abroad impose a tourist tax which is only payable locally in that resort. Many individual hotels impose a charge which is required by local authorities and this must be paid personally by every visitor. This is usually a daily charge representing a minor cost (and the amount may vary depending on the hotel category or booking season) and is borne by the visitor. This matter is beyond our control as it is a local Government charge.
a) Deposit payments paid by the Consumer to the Organiser are non transferable to other departures and non transferable to other Consumers.

The rich brown, velvet coat worn by Tom Baker during the first four Key to Time stories was deemed inappropriate for location filming in the wet and muddy environment of Suffolk's Iken Marshes. So he was reunited with his grey, wool coat from previous seasons that was much easier to wash.

The Doctor to Thawn, episode 1
Tom and Mary Tamm as Romana in the marshes of Delta Magna. Picture © BBC
K-9 is left in the TARDIS as Romana and the Doctor wade through the marshes of Delta-Magna's third moon in search of segment five. An experimental methane refinery is operating on this world, though the green-skinned natives, nicknamed Swampies, oppose its existence. The Swamp People were promised this moon as a kind of reservation and they want the refinery technicians from Delta-Magna gone.
Romana is captured by the Swampies, and the Doctor by the technicians. Each of their captors is suspicious of the newcomers, and before long Romana is being offered in sacrifice to Kroll, god of the Swamp People – a giant squid creature that supposedly dwells beneath the marshes.
Similarly, Thawn (Neil McCarthy), the refinery's director, wants a pretext to wipe out the Swampies, something he might get if they attack his plant using weapons smuggled in by opportunist gunrunners such as he believes the Doctor to be.
Conflict seems inevitable until Kroll turns out not to be a myth after all. Roused by the drilling operation, a savage monster, nearly two miles across and hundreds of feet high emerges from the swamp, and attacks the plant. Casualties mount on both sides until the Doctor realises Kroll's size is so vast that it cannot be an entirely natural creature. Deploying the locator device just as the refinery is in danger of being crushed, the monster vanishes, replaced by the fifth segment of the Key.
Thawn is dead, and his more conscientious deputy, Fenner (Philip Madoc) believes a fairer way to co-exist with the Swamp People can be found.

If you do not live near the equator, the problem of lack of sunlight during winter time peculiarly can be actual for you, even if it is not visible at first glance. Day of the person in modern world often takes place in the office or just in the enclosed space. No time for walk, no wish to stroll or bad weather does not permit… The light of the sun is increasingly replaced by the artificial lighting. As a result, the lack of sunlight leads to health problems, even very serious,for example, in a change of hormone production.
It should be noted that the lack of sunlight during winter affects on the production of one of the most important vitamins in the body – vitamin D. And also hits all the systems in the human body: cardiovascular, endocrine, reproductive, immune, nervous, mood and biorhythms, skin rejuvenation, hair and nails.
What is vitamin D and why it is so important? Above all, this vitamin is synthesized by our body exposed to direct sunlight (ultraviolet light) and the lack of it can make serious consequences for human health. People begin to have lack of sunlight condition.
The most dangerous is a factor which increase the risk of cancer. Research in this area has shown the importance of a sufficient level of vitamin D in the body to reduce the risk of a cancer and to combat various types of cancer. Since the published data by C.F. Garland in esse "Vitamin D for cancer prevention: Global Perspective" are impressive. People who spend enough time in the sun or take calcium and vitamin D inside (1,100 IU of vitamin D and 1,450 mg / day of calcium), for 50% or more reduce the risk of breast cancer, cancer of prostate or bowel.
Vitamin D also has a considerable influence on the immune system, because it stimulates the growth of blood vessels, activates the T-cells which are looking for any invading bacteria and viruses, has anti-inflammatory action etc. Considering the fact that vitamin D has mainly immunosuppressive influence, its deficiency can predispose to autoimmune diseases. In particular, increases the risk of rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus, type 1 diabetes mellitus.
Also vitamin D is needed to produce the hormone leptin, which is responsible for the feeling of satiety. Accordingly, if this hormone is small, it becomes difficult to satisfy hunger, a person begins to overeat and gain weight.
How to prevent lack of sunlight condition?
So what to do that this problem would not arise and the level of vitamin D at any time of year has always been the norm? It is necessary to follow a few advices from the lack of sunlight during winter for our body.
– First of all, eat more foods that are rich in vitamin D or use special supplements and eat foods that increase the production of serotonin (chocolate, apples, bananas, turkey).
– Walk as much as possible. Even in cloudy weather on the street a much more sunlight than indoors, which has a positive effect for your health.
– Do sports. Sport exercises increase the level of serotonin, which has a positive effect on the body, even in the winter season.
So, of course, the lack of sunlight leads to health problems if do nothing but you have possibility to exclude lack of sunlight condition from your life!

Brexit's new chapter: the 'impossible' trade deal
Published Sunday, February 02, 2020
Britain has left the European Union after 47 years of membership and on Monday chief negotiator Michel Barnier will lay out the EU's strategy for the next phase: negotiations to hammer out a new future with the UK.
Prime Minister Boris Johnson is expected to also swiftly reveal Britain's game plan for talks where both sides will "have to rebuild everything", in the words of Barnier.
Here are the main battle lines for the coming weeks:
- No extension -Throughout his campaign, Johnson said he would seal a trade deal by December 31, the deadline set by the EU-UK divorce agreement.
London could request an extension of one or two more years, but it would have to do so by July 1. Johnson insists he will not.
That leaves only eight months, from late February to October, to reach an agreement and allow time for ratification, which could require the approval of roughly 30 national and regional parliaments, depending on the final scope of the deal.
"It's an impossible task," warned one European diplomat.
"By the end of the year, we could get the skeleton of a trade agreement plus something on internal and foreign security, but there is no guarantee," the diplomat added.
Negotiations cannot officially begin before EU ministers approve Barnier's mandate on February 25.
- 'Negotiation tables' -Months of intense discussions, to alternate between London and Brussels, will be coordinated by Barnier and his UK counterpart, probably David Frost.
The tight deadline allows "about 40 days of pure negotiation" in eight to ten-week sessions, an official warned.
This is a far cry from the years devoted to trade deals with Canada, Japan or South Korea.
Barnier said negotiators would open about ten "negotiating tables" in parallel.
"We will give each subject two or three weeks and see what is possible. If the divisions are too great, we drop it and move on," a diplomat said.
An EU-UK summit is planned for June to gauge where talks stand.
- New 'no deal' -Johnson has scrapped his predecessor's goal of close ties with Europe that would minimise disruption to the cross-Channel economy.
Pushed by big business, Theresa May's government had proposed a "dynamic alignment", where London would find a way to match EU rules on the environment, state aid and other standards to guarantee UK companies easy access to Europe.
Instead, Johnson wants to pursue a far more minimal trade deal, sometimes called a hard Brexit, that will seek zero tariffs and quotas on goods, but make no binding commitment on maintaining standards.
"The prime minister has been clear that he wants a Canada-style free trade agreement with no alignment," a UK official told AFP.
This refers to the EU's trade deal with Canada that Europeans consider too narrow for an important neighbour like Britain.
Given London's stance, Barnier said that some items will be a priority "otherwise we will create a fracture".
He wants handshakes on fisheries, internal and external security and above all trade in goods.
If there is no deal by December 31, when the unextended transition closes, ties would devolve at a stroke into the most rudimentary relationship, with high tariffs, grave disruptions and major aftershocks to Britain's and Europe's economy.
- Threat to unity -Many in Brussels fear that Johnson's low-bar strategy could split the Europeans.
"It will be difficult to maintain European unity," said an EU diplomat with eastern European countries attaching greater importance to auto construction and others pushing financial services.
In any case, a trade deal on goods only means no alignment on EU standards, which means custom checks, paperwork and all sorts of new limits to commerce and that will most affect Britain's closest neighbours such as France, Belgium and the Netherlands.
Those countries are also under pressure to keep access to British waters for local fishermen; Britain and the EU have pledged to agree that touchy issue by July 1.
- 'Zero-dumping' -Referred to as keeping a level playing field, the EU wants to ensure that British companies gain no unfair advantage after Brexit.
When British goods and services come knocking on Europe's door, Brussels will insist that UK goods are subject to checks like those from any other non-EU country.
"It won't be the same as the relationship we have had for several decades. You cannot be both in and out," warned French President Emmanuel Macron on Friday.
Diplomats warn there are no airtight ways to enforce fair exchange in a simple trade deal.
The EU 27 have begun to draw up an elaborate arbitration process that could mean fines or the suspension of the eventual EU-UK accord if either side fell out of line.
- Big deal? - One question nagging Europeans, notably France, is the future structure of the EU's relationship with Britain.
Will it be something formal, with clearly set joint institutions, or a looser arrangement structured by separate deals on trade, security and other topics as necessary?
Many European capitals abhor the latter, spooked by the EU's confused ties with Switzerland, which are governed by over 100 deals that cause never-ending squabbles.

William Newnham (1790–1865) was a British physician.

He was born in Farnham, Surrey. He was qualified in apothecary. In 1836, he became one of the first members of the Provincial Medical and Surgical Association (later called the British Medical Association). He was also a member of the Royal Society of Literature.

He was the author of Essay on Superstition (1830) which argued that apparitional experiences, dreams and spiritual visions had a physiological rather than a supernatural basis. It was republished in 2010 by Cambridge University Press.

Oklahoma Woman And Two Adult Sons Found Dead Inside Home, Police Investigating Possible Murder-Suicide
Jared Keever
An Oklahoma woman and her two adult sons are dead after an incident on Jan. 3 that detectives from the Muskogee County Sheriff's Office are investigating as a murder-suicide.
Sheriff Charles Pearson told KJRH News that investigators believe Rebecca Brown shot her sons, Levi and Garrett Brown, while they slept, then turned the gun on herself.
Levi Brown was 25 and his brother was 24. Rebecca Brown was 48 years old. Many in the area knew her as Beckie Smith. Brown was her last name from a previous marriage.
Tulsa World reports Smith placed a phone call to her brother Saturday morning saying she was going to kill herself. Her brother called 911, asking for deputies to be sent to her house near the town of Webbers Falls.
Richard Slader, the chief investigator from the sheriff's office working the case, said the responding deputy saw "something through the window and made entry" into the home and discovered the three bodies.
Deputy Ashley Mullen said investigators are still looking into what might have led Smith to take her own life after killing her sons, including whether she was suffering from mental illness.
"I know she had a lot of medications she was taking," Mullen said.
Slader told the Muskogee Phoenix that the scene will be investigated as a triple homicide, although most believe the theory that Smith killed her two sons before turning the gun on herself.
"We will rule out things as we go," Slader said. "We treated it as suspicious from the start."
He added that investigators still had a few other people they wanted to talk to.
A .22-caliber rifle was found at the scene. Police said Smith left a suicide note.
The father of Smith's sons, Leroy Brown, was at the home Saturday morning, hoping to learn more from investigators about what happened to his sons.
"It's not the call you want to get at 10 o'clock in the morning," Leroy said. "They were a couple of good boys."
He said Levi had joined the Army and gone overseas but returned to Oklahoma after his time was up in the military. Garrett was the father of two daughters, ages 3 and 1.
The county medical examiner is expected to perform autopsies on the three bodies.
