Miss Philippines' Catriona Gray's National Costume for Miss Universe 2018 – #BuongPilipinas
I've been MIA during the start of the Miss Universe proper in Bangkok because I'm attending some personal issues but now that I've found some time to actually post some updates here, let me start with yesterday's National Costume show.
Miss Universe Philippines Catriona Gray's national costume was one of the most anticipated costumes of any Philippine delegate to ever compete in the pageant as well as any delegates in this year's edition. The costume apresented to the public last night in Pattaya garnered polarizing reception from the different spectrum of social media.
Her elaborate costume with a touch of the #BuongPilipinas or the whole Philippines is something that has never been seen from a Philippine delegate in the past editions or any international beauty pageants that usually settles for a single-themed outfits.
This intricately designed ensemble is called "LuzViMinda" in a collaboration of different designers with Catriona's inputs too! Jojo Bragais designed and provided the thigh-high boots and the beautiful headress representating Mindanao, Eric Quiwa for the Parol representing Luzon and Jearson Demavivas who spearheaded the creation of this costume and was also responsible for Catriona's winning national costume during the Binibining Pilipinas earlier this year worked on the Pintados body representing the Visayas region.
The costume may have not garnered universal acclaim but for a delegate to represent the country with such pride in our culture and heritage is achievement enough and is already a winner in my book!
In the midst of sociopolitical divisiveness in the Philippines, Catriona Gray and her team made me realized that outside of this spectrum, there's a lot to be proud of our country, our people and our history.
Maraming Salamat!

It's All or Nothing for Catriona Gray Come Miss Universe 2018!
Catriona Gray under the lens of Raymond Saldaña
The Miss Universe competition proper is looming around and it's going to be an all or nothing journey for Philippines' bet Catriona Gray as she aims to win the fourth Miss Universe crown for the country, merely three years after Pia Wurtzbach controversial crowning in Las Vegas.
In her recent guesting in The Bottom Line with Boy Abunda, Gray stated that she never considered failure in terms of actually winning the crown.
I never consider failure. Why? Because I feel that if you have that in your vision, it will distract you, it will withdraw your energy from you. And I need 100%, 120% of my energy to go towards winning.
In a stunning showcase of her gift of gab, Catriona answered questions relevant to the country and issues its facing today and she answered them oh-so-eloquently, whilst getting tips from the Talk Show king Abunda himself.
Here are some of the questions asked by the panel.
What's her take on the recent passage of the Mental Health Act:
I think it's a great step forward because I believe that there's more awareness now than there ever was before. And it's something usually that wasn't talked about because we thought it was a weak will or weak sense of character. Maybe they're just going through something bad or we made up all these excuses to color over what was the truth behind it. But now that we have something that can be put in place, the proper education can finds its way to the hands of people that need it. And the stigma can start to break apart.
Why is she mum about her political views:
I like to take it as if it's the time and place. I am not going to be a public figure that just spouses an opinion without being considerate of both sides and validating both sides because at the end of the day, I wear a Philippines sash and the Philippines is made up of millions of Filipinos with different points of view and different political standpoints. So I never want to polarize that.
The truth why she decided to apply as an independent candidate during the Binibining Pilipinas when she was initially under Aces & Queens back when she competed for Miss World Philippines and subsequently won: (Would you rather be the one who hides the truth, or tells a lie)
I would rather be the one who hides the truth because I believe no matter what, the truth will always come out. And I always believe that staying true to myself which is what I did in being an independent candidate, I just wanted to create my own team. Instead of focusing on multiple girls, I got undecided focus from a team of people that I chose myself. So I was allowed to be creative in that space and surround myself with a core team and it's one of the best decisions I made
And the question that made Boy Abunda jump off his seat! It was really funny, tbh.
How would you convince a feminist that beauty pageant are still relevant?
I believe the aim of feminism isn't to bring women down for what they choose to express themselves as or what they choose to pursue. I think and I believe that the whole aim of feminism is to support women in whatever they choose to do as long as it's considerate and respectful to someone else.
With the caliber of how she answered these hard-hitting questions, it is very hard to lower our expectations for Catriona who is heading to Thailand next month as one of the pageant's frontrunners.
Will the world, the universe rather finally align for Catriona?

My Miss Universe October 2018 Hot Picks!
I know this post is a bit overdue but I had this note on my phone with my Top 9 only until the last month ended. I've tried checking out more girls and their trainings, their outfits and a lot more that has to do with their exposure but only came up with the same girls who are getting the hype since the start of the pageant season. So without further ado, let me present to you my Top 9 Hot Picks for the month of October!
In ninth place is Canada's Marta Stepien. See, I loved Canada's type of beauty just like the earlier comparison to superstar Taylor Swift, Marta has the type of beauty that would do well in Thailand like her compatriot Natalie Glebova when she snatched the crown from the Latinas in 2005. She's went down on my list because I haven't that much change in her – good or bad. I still think that she's one of the frontrunners but her chances for me is dwindling.
At number eight is Sthefany Gutiérrez of Venezuela. I loved the fact that she's experimenting with her looks now and that she's listening to her supporters. I thought she looks a bit mature with her 'pocahontas' hair and too heavy make up so I'm very much happy with her different looks now. Seriously, she's hella pretty with a no make-up makeup look.
Number seven for me is host delegate Sophida Kanchanarin. This Thai beauty is one of my favorite Asian beauties this year. I just loved her oriental bone structure and her classy aura. I still don't see her winning the whole thing but she's inching towards the Top 5 for me.
At sixth place is H'Hen Niê of Vietnam. I'm still on a fence with her recent styling with longer hair. I mean, she's got a beautiful face but it felt too forced. Her face is meant to be shown with her current short do. She's definitely one of the strongest Asian delegates this year!
On fifth place for me is Puerto Rico's Kiara Ortega. Puerto has never reached the Top 3 in this decade but it looks like Kiki is about to avenge her compatriots most especially Bodine Koehler who got snubbed in 2013. Kiki is young, personable but lacks in height. Some people are touting her to be one of the 'girls to beat' but I am pretty sure that at this point – the girl to beat remains the same from my last Hot Picks – bias aside.
Coming in at fourth place for me is none other than South Africa's Tamaryn Green. She also went down for me last month. She's looking too mascular for me so she needs to exudes a little bit of softness come pageant proper in order to stand out the way Demi started her game plan to win the crown in Vegas last year.
My third placer is Miss USA, Sarah Rose Summers. I loved Sarah Rose' looks and again, I keep on saying that her winning personality will make her shine in Thailand. I'm not sure if she's really that focused in winning the crown or she's content to just be Miss USA since her prizes as the reigning queen is the same with her Miss Universe counterpart. I still she's one of the strongest delegates this year and she's just so pretty to begin with so I have her as my third best' for October.
My number two is Valeria Morales of Colombia. I'm very much enamored by her Juliana Franco's aura and she's a very good speaker too. I wished that she could speak English fluently to cater to her international fans but I think she's the biggest rival of the 'girl to beat' at this point.
And my numbero uno pick is still our very own Miss Universe Philippines Catriona Gray. It's always been Catriona Gray, you say but she's really THAT girl who could bring Miss Universe into a whole new level. She's beautiful, current, has a fun personality and most importantly – the gift of gab. I'm still in awe everytime I watch her speak about ANY given topics. I'm telling you, she's coming for your favorites.
Who for you is leading the pack this year???
See you in Thailand next month!

Bangkok is Ready for the Miss Universe 2018!
After almost three months of radio silence from the Miss Universe Organization (MUO), Bangkok is now 'officially' re-confirmed as the host of this year's Miss Universe pageant. The MUO team spearheaded by its President Paula Shugart confirmed the event happening on December 17, 2018 (Local Time) after the initial announcement in July.
Yesterday, a Press Conference was held in Bangkok where the Miss Universe Organization presented the new financier of the pageant – the TNP Group – after its initial investor TW Investment pulled out from the project due to misbehavior of its shareholders putting the third hosting of the Kingdom in peril.
And there's also a rumored new crown for the winner of this edition? So that means, no more Mikimoto crown? We'll see in the coming days or during the finals night at the Impact Arena.

It can now be said that Bangkok is all set and ready to provide the most beautiful show in the Universe!

Home > Take Me Fishing Blog > March 2016 > When do fish spawn and when do they eat?
When I was a 14 years old, my football coach took me fishing. When we got to the river, he pulled out a thermometer and held it in the water. "Today is going to be a great day," he said. "We are going to catch 'em up."
I thought he was nuts. Why wouldn't he at least make a few casts to see if we were going to catch a fish? The fact that Coach was also my science teacher made me think of two things: I didn't want to run post-practice wind sprints for asking a dumb question, and I didn't want to fail his class. I kept my mouth shut, but he fortunately continued.
"When the water temperature is at a specific temperature, fish burn off a lot of food and they need to eat. So when the water is between 55 and 65 degrees, the trout we're trying to catch will burn up one stomach full of food per day. When it's colder or warmer, those same trout will burn up one stomach-full of food every four days, and that means they don't need to eat. Today, they need to eat.
"But we also need to know when they spawn, because if they are focused on spawning they won't want to eat. It's just like you and your teammates get distracted when the cheerleaders run on the field."
Since then, a thermometer has been as important a tool as a rod, reel, and line itself. There are some regional variations for both spawning and feeding temperatures, but here is a chart to help you put the ball in the endzone.

Monday-Tuesday-Wednesday
Killer algae, incestuous beetles, and rodents of unusual size
Monday, June 3: "How they get here: Aquatic invasive species being moved around the world"
Sabrina Drill, UC Cooperative Extension (presenting) and Edwin Grosholz, Dept. of Environmental Science and Policy, UC Davis
Most of us don't hear about an invasive species until it is here causing problems. But preventing new invasive species from getting here in the first place requires understanding the "pathways" of introduction. From tsunamis to aquariums, container ships to canoes, Dr. Drill will discuss ways that freshwater and marine organisms travel to California.
Tuesday, June 4: "What's killing California's trees? Shot hole borers, palm weevils and the rest"
Beatriz Nobua-Behrmann, Urban Forestry and Natural Resources Advisor, UC Cooperative Extension
Tree pests come to Golden State from around the world and threaten street trees, agriculture, and natural areas. Last year the legislature in Sacramento allocated $5 million to begin addressing the latest threat – shot hole borers that kill a wide variety of trees in southern California. Dr. Nobua-Behrmann will describe how these insects damage trees and what we can do about it.
Wednesday, June 5: "Rodents of unusual size: Nutria in the Delta"
Valerie Cook-Fletcher, Nutria Eradication Incident Commander, Cal. Dept. of Fish & Wildlife
Nutria, a South American rodent, have caused extensive damage in Louisiana wetlands for decades. Now nutria have been found in the Sacramento-San Joaquin River Delta and its tributaries and state agencies are working to find them before they can breed and spread. Cook-Fletcher will provide an update on efforts to locate this elusive swimmer in the maze of sloughs and backwaters of California's San Joaquin Valley.
Thursday-Friday
Weed-A-Palooza!
Thursday, June 6: "Citizen stewardship: Tackling giant reed (Arundo donax) in Central Contra Costa County"
Mike Anciaux and Bob Simmons, Walnut Creek Watershed Council
Giant reed (Arundo donax) is one of the most damaging wildland weeds in California. More than $20 million was spent to remove it from the Santa Ana River watershed in southern California to protect the endangered Least Bell's Vireo, a songbird that nests in native streamside vegetation. On the eastern side of San Francisco Bay, citizens are uniting to find and remove hundreds of populations along Contra Costa County's creeks.
Friday, June 7: "Organizing to stop one of the world's worst weeds: MKAT (Marin Knotweed Action Team)"
Bobbi Simpson, California Exotic Plant Management Team, National Park Service
Invasive knotweed species are some of the worst weeds in the world. They have become notorious for destroying property values in Europe. Knotweed is extremely difficult to get rid of because its underground rhizomes store energy and resist herbicides. Ms. Simpson will describe the partnership that has formed to eradicate recently-found invasive knotweed in the San Geronimo Valley and Lagunitas Creek watersheds in Marin County before it can spread.

The suburb of Newton Park is ideally placed, close to many amenities, with Greenacres, Fernglen, Perridgevale and Adcockvale all nearby.
The Third Avenue dip, where Newton Park crosses through the Baakens River Valley along Third Avenue, is a well-known feature of Newton Park.
Before the William Moffett Expressway was built, the Third Avenue dip was the main route between Walmer and Newton Park. It's still a popular shortcut for residents travelling from Newton Park to Mangold Park, Lorraine and Walmer.
Emily van Heerden, who has lived in Newton Park for 20 years, says she was drawn to the area because it's very family-oriented.
"Schools and shops are close by and it's a very big family neighbourhood. You often see people walking their animals or taking evening walks or runs," she says.
She says the suburb is very peaceful.
"It's a great neighbourhood to raise young children as there are two main primary schools in the area (Herbert Hurd Primary School and Laerskool Newton Park), as well as several crèches and daycare centres.
Emily says there's a strong sense of community in Newton Park.
She says her house is comfortable and has an open design and a big back garden.
Newton Park also has the convenience of shopping centres or hubs in all directions, namely Spar in Third Avenue, Pick n Pay in Fourth Avenue, Checkers in Sixth Avenue and the Continental Butchery and Delicatessen building in Glen Hurd Drive.
The median asking price for a typical property such as a three-bedroomed house in Newton Park is R1,48million.
You can expect to look at a price of around R670,000 for a property in a complex, and around R399,000 for an apartment.
Two out of three properties in Newton Park are houses, with a quarter of the properties in a complex and a further 9% – almost one in 10 – in a flat.
Visit Greenacres and The Bridge shopping centres.
Play a round of golf at nearby "The Hill", Port Elizabeth Golf Club.
Walk the 7,5km Lower Guinea Fowl Hiking Trail, accessed from the Third Avenue dip in Newton Park, leading down to Settlers Park and Brickmakers Kloof.
"The dip", as locals call it, is also a good starting point for mountain biking.
The Newton Park section of the Baakens River Valley offers good bird-watching.
Raak Koffie Winkel is a contemporary and popular cafe known for its generous breakfasts, delicious coffees and Banting-friendly offerings.
Eataly in Worraker Street offers diners informal Italian food and hosts regular karaoke evenings, ladies' nights and happy hours.
The Silver Cloud Spur in Cape Road is a Newton Park institution and has seen generations of families marking milestones and celebrations.
Norma Jean's Coffee Shop in Newton Street is a sweet little Marilyn Monroe-themed coffee shop.


Are Family Farmers Being Turned into Tenant Farmers?
I have often blogged in the past about a specialized chapter under the Bankruptcy Code for farmers and fishermen, Chapter 12 for Family Farmers and Fishermen. Farmers are near and dear to my heart because they have been the backbone of this country since its inception. However, that status is now becoming endangered by the same folks who brought us the Great Recession of 2008, ie Wall Street. That's right. The same folks who thought it would be a good idea to securitize home mortgages and sell as investment vehicles are now doing the same thing with our family farms in America. A recent article in Salon illustrates that slick Wall Street hedge funds and investors are scooping up farmland throughout America and creating Real Estate Investment Trusts (REIT).
The REITs allow Wall Street to create a trust entity into which ownership of farmland is placed. Some might say this is just a corporate farm entity and the only thing different between this and a family farmer is that a corporation owns the farmland instead of an individual. But look closer and you will discover the motivation for the creation of the REITs is the ability to claim "enormous tax breaks to subsidize their scheme." These are the same tax breaks created to assist a family farmer in maintaining farm production through the good and the lean years. Yet as Wall Street subsidizes its farm operations with tax breaks originally intended for the family farmer, it is raking in tons of money from investors eager to buy into the REITs.
So if Wall Street is buying up farms, how is it producing off of these farm lands? The real possibility is by taking those who can no longer afford to operate as a family farmer and turning them into a tenant farmer. Remember those folks? The good, decent, salt of the earth workers who for decades in this country could not afford to purchase their own land and so toiled for large landowners who hired them to produce the crops which then created more wealth for the large landowners? That's correct. Wall Street is creating another generation of tenant farmers. I guess it was not enough to put people out of their homes. Every day politicians on one side tell us there is too much regulation while the other side complains there is not enough. And while we yo-yo between these two positions year after year, Wall Street slyly takes over another core of the American dream.
If such a future is anathema to you and you wish to support the family farmers of America, please visit the website for the National Young Farmers Coalition. If you are currently a family farmer who is experiencing financial difficulties, please contact one of our locations nearest you for a free, confidential consultation with one of our experienced, licensed attorneys.

Mayors Manor was developed in response to the need for such housing as determined by the McLean County members of the Central Continuum of Care, which seeks to prevent and address the issues of homelessness. Mayors Manor takes its name from the residents of the original home at 504 W. Washington Street. It was built in 1893 for Mayor and Mrs. James Costello and their family. In 1941 the house became the home of Bloomington's Mayor Walt Bittner and his wife Irene, where they raised their four children. In 1998, the Bittners' asked the City, which is a member of the Continuum of Care, to help them find a way to have their former home used to serve a community purpose. Mid Central Community Action, Inc., another Continuum member, was contacted and began the development process.

Government must ensure the UK does not cede its 5G leadership
Written by Mark Kleinman and Mischa Dohler on 13 July 2018 in Opinion
Mark Kleinman and Mischa Dohler of King's College London have four recommendations to ensure the UK's strong position in 5G is not thrown away
The history of computing and technology is littered with cases where British ingenuity and innovation led the field in its early stages, but where we failed to capitalise on our early successes.
The work of Alan Turing, Tommy Flowers and others on programmable, electronic computers during the Second World War, or Donald Davies's 1960s research on 'packet switching' (a term he coined) – the technology that is the bedrock of the internet – are just some examples. We must not let this happen with 5G, the technology which will mean vastly quicker and more reliable mobile networks.
The UK is establishing itself as a global leader in developing, trialling, and implementing 5G solutions. This lead can provide tremendous support for the government's goals to raise productivity and growth, and to develop and implement its Industrial Strategy. But unless we take action to maintain and build on this leadership, our current advantage will be quickly eroded by a series of infrastructure and policy barriers.
In our new policy briefing, we set out four vital strategic actions for the government to take now.
Government seeks major city to lead large-scale urban 5G test project
Government review to assess how policy could guide telecoms market into ultrafast future
Government invests £16m in three sites for 'world's first' 5G trial project
First, government should recognise the value of public street furniture as a key strategic infrastructure asset. There are over five million street lamps in the UK, and thousands of other structures that are suitable for the siting of 5G network equipment. Street furniture, therefore, offers a unique opportunity to roll out such a network at scale, if a coordinated approach to leveraging these assets nationally is developed.
Currently, 5G development and implementation are occurring in silos. These projects are led by a range of organisations – but with few wider partnerships, and a limited focus on scaling up pilot projects or identifying opportunities for larger-scale network deployments. Street furniture is a foundation that can tie them all together.
Second, there should be a focus on ensuring efficient usage of all digital infrastructure. For instance, across the UK, a strong fibre network is already in existence. But it is owned by a complex range of organisations working in isolation from each other. Fibre sharing should be prioritised, and regulated if necessary, in order to deliver a functioning pan-UK network. The same goes for other digital infrastructure. The transformational potential of 5G can only be realised by considering the bigger picture – moving beyond simple asset ownership and immediate costs, and focusing on the value of the broader network and its social, economic, and wider multipliers.
Spectrum and skills
Third, government should pursue a more nuanced approach to spectrum policy. The lease and sub-lease of the operators' spectrum to non-operators is important and requires clearer and more permissible regulation. This would allow a wide range of organisations to explore use-cases – building expertise, delivering innovation, and de-risking network investments for operators.
There needs to be a legal and policy framework in place to allow enterprises such as manufacturing sites, shopping malls, cultural institutions, and wider private-sector organisations to build their own networks for their own clients – in conjunction with traditional operators. Such network innovation has been demonstrated by our own work on 5G at King's College London.
King's has a range of spectrum test licences and, because of these, has been able to develop, test, and deploy the first attempts at 5G in the UK. This has attracted significant interest and attention from operators, who – with a few exceptions – are unable to commit considerable resource to exploring an unknown technology proposition.
There needs to be a national approach to building 5G skills. The skills to leverage its potential benefits are currently in short supply
Finally, there needs to be a national approach to building 5G skills. 5G represents an unprecedented shift in technology development, deployment, and usage. However, the skills to leverage its potential benefits are currently in short supply. In addition, 5G technology is likely to be commoditised ahead of skills. This issue has been recently highlighted by other technological developments – such as artificial intelligence, big data, and the internet of things – where significant effort has been expended to ensure that skills catch up with the demands of these sectors. Building a strong and sustainable foundation of suitable 5G skills is central to supporting, growing and driving innovation across the 5G ecosystem.
The UK has a unique opportunity. Through government leadership and investment in initiatives such as the 5G Testbeds and Trials Programme, the initial foundations of 5G are being built across the UK. However, delivering 5G – and its transformational benefits – to all areas of the UK demands a holistic approach to the technology, from skills to infrastructure provision.
This work must be done now. These are radical recommendations, but they are not made lightly. Each recommendation is directly linked to the experience of King's in developing and implementing 5G in a real-world setting. We consider them to be crucial steps to take in order for the UK to maintain its leadership in 5G, and to deliver the benefits of 5G to citizens in all parts of the UK.

Sally Payne, 43 from Exeter, has been on an unwanted roller coaster ride since 2013. Whilst working in London as a nanny, Sally discovered she had breast cancer. At the time she was only 38.
Despite surgeries, chemo and radiotherapy, Sally now has secondary cancer. Local charity Hospiscare is supporting her in managing her illness whilst she continues to do the job she loves.
"I felt fine. Not unwell at all. I was working in London as a nanny, loving life.
"I was getting out of the bath one day when I noticed a dent in one of my breasts. I had a bit of a poke and a prod but couldn't really feel anything so left it, but it played on my mind. Then about a week later I did the usual Google search to find out more and read that breasts should sort of match each other and any difference should be checked by your doctor.
"So I made an appointment because one of my breasts did feel thicker than the other. When I visited my GP they couldn't feel anything either but referred me to a breast clinic, just to get thoroughly checked. They started to run tests and at this point the only person I mentioned it to was my boss. I had the test on a Monday and was booked in to receive the results on Friday of the same week. It was only on Wednesday that it dawned on me it could be cancer. That's when I called my mum, but not because I felt I needed anyone with me at the results appointment. It was more to do with the fact I didn't want to be the one to tell mum if it was cancer. I would rather she heard that from someone else. So mum came with me to get the results and I'm glad she did, because it wasn't good news.
"I love cross stitch and sewing but lost the sensation in my fingers after chemo which still hasn't returned. You can't expect to get back the same life you had before cancer. You are changed by it and continue to be changed as you go through different phases. You have to adapt to the new you, the one who is now living with cancer.
"Despite having cancer I kept working in London full-time for a few years, but when I got the news I had secondary cancer I knew I needed support. I came back to Devon in January 2016 to live with my parents, although I still had to commute to London for a while for treatments.
"The thing is, having got secondary cancer at my age you still have to live, you still have to work. I am not in a position to retire. I wanted to keep working in London but it was soul destroying because when I went for interviews and was upfront and mentioned the 'C' word, no one would hire me. I started to point out that actually anyone can get cancer at any time and at least I am up front that I have it and just need a bit of flexibility around clinical appointments.
"Being confident and positive about it changed people's perspectives and after that I got five job offers, which was great. A couple of the jobs were in London but I knew it would be less tiring if I accepted a job in Exeter, so I did, and the family I now work for have been amazing. Initially I worked five days a week but realised I couldn't keep it up. So I dropped to a four day week and that was still a bit too much, so now I'm on a three day week. That's much more enjoyable as it gives me a better work/life balance and I can do hospital appointments on the other two days and have some energy left for myself.
"People are shocked when I tell them Hospiscare are supporting me. They'll say things like, 'Oh my God, I didn't think it was that bad?' as if the grim reaper is standing over me because people assume hospices are for end of life only. I think it's an important message to get out there, that Hospiscare support can start much sooner than that.
"In my case, I was massively struggling with pain. I had been in pain for so long it was keeping me awake at night and totally impacting on my quality of life. The oncologists told me they could keep me going for years but when you're in pain you don't actually want to carry on for years.
"One of the clinicians I was seeing cautiously broached the idea of Hospiscare and I was at the point where I would try anything! I am 43 years old and was walking around like a 90 year old, but after a month of seeing Harriet, a Hospiscare Clinical Nurse Specialist (CNS) who worked out a programme of pain relief, I could walk like a 60 year old, which was huge progress! She took 30 years off me and I can't tell you how good that felt.
"The Hospiscare CNS teams work together and feed off each other's knowledge. It is such an art to balance drugs, side effects and effective pain relief. I can't have side effects like drowsiness, that's just not compatible with working as a nanny. It's a complex balancing act and so unique for each individual. If a medication gives me side effects I just call up the nurses and they tweak it for me straight away. It's amazing. If you need them they are there and their focus is to give quality of life.
"But it's not only the pain relief that Hospiscare have helped with. I know that, ultimately, the illness I have isn't curable. It's only going to go one way. But it can be really tricky to broach those sorts of conversations with your family. Because I can talk to my Hospiscare CNS about anything it really helped me with this aspect. Harriet and I had a 'coming to terms' conversation with my mum. Yes, there were tears, but with Harriet's help it was done so gently. Again, it's that skilfulness Hospiscare can provide when you need it most. The support has made a huge difference to both me and my family.

Financial globalisation — the phenomenon of rising cross-border financial flows — is often blamed for the string of damaging economic crises that rocked a number of emerging markets in the late 1980s in Latin America, and in the 1990s in Mexico and a handful of Asian countries. The market turmoil and resulting bankruptcies prompted a rash of finger-pointing by those who suggested that developing countries had dismantled capital controls too hastily — leaving themselves vulnerable to the harsh dictates of rapid capital movements and market herd effects. Some were openly critical of international institutions that they saw as promoting capital account liberalisation without stressing the necessity of building up the strong institutions needed to steer markets through bad times.
In contrast to the growing consensus among academic economists that trade liberalisation is by and large beneficial for both industrial and developing economies, debate rages among academics and practitioners about the costs and benefits of financial globalisation. Some economists (for example, Dani Rodrik, Jagdish Bhagwati, and Joseph Stiglitz) view unfettered capital flows as disruptive to global financial stability, leading to calls for capital controls and other curbs on international asset trade. Others (including Stanley Fischer and Lawrence Summers) argue that increased openness to capital flows has, in general, proved essential for countries seeking to rise from lower- to middle-income status and that it has strengthened stability among industrial countries. This debate clearly has considerable relevance for economic policy, especially given that major economies like China and India have recently taken steps to open up their capital accounts.
To get beyond the polemics, we put together a framework for analysing the vast and growing body of studies about the costs and benefits of financial globalisation.1 Our framework offers a fresh perspective on the macroeconomic effects of these ramped-up flows, in terms of both growth and volatility. We systematically sift through various pieces of evidence on whether developing countries can benefit from financial globalisation and whether financial globalisation, in itself, leads to economic crises. Our findings suggest that financial globalisation appears to be neither a magic bullet to spur growth, as some proponents would claim, nor an unmanageable risk, as others have sought to portray it.
A basic building block of our framework is the notion that successful financial globalisation does not simply enhance access to financing for domestic investment, but that its benefits are catalytic and indirect. Far more important than the direct growth effects of access to more capital is how capital flows generate what we label financial integration's potential collateral benefits (so-called because they may not be countries' primary motivations for undertaking financial integration). A growing number of studies are showing that financial openness can promote development of the domestic financial sector, impose discipline on macroeconomic policies, generate efficiency gains among domestic firms by exposing them to competition from foreign entrants, and unleash forces that result in better government and corporate governance. These collateral benefits could enhance efficiency and, by extension, total factor productivity growth.
The notion that financial globalisation influences growth mainly through indirect channels has powerful implications for an empirical analysis of its benefits. Building institutions, enhancing market discipline, and deepening the financial sector take time, as does the realisation of growth benefits from such channels. This may explain why, over relatively short periods, it seems much easier to detect the costs but not the benefits of financial globalisation. More fundamentally, even at long horizons, it may be difficult to detect the productivity-enhancing benefits of financial globalisation in empirical work if one includes structural, institutional, and macroeconomic policy variables in cross-country regressions that attempt to explain growth. After all, it is through these very channels that financial integration generates growth benefits.
One should not, of course, overstate the case that financial integration generates collateral benefits. It is equally plausible that, all else being equal, more foreign capital flows to countries with better-developed financial markets and institutions. We do not dismiss the importance of traditional channels—that financial integration can increase investment by relaxing the constraints imposed by low levels of domestic saving and by reducing the cost of capital. But our view is that these traditional channels may have been overemphasized in previous research.
The potential indirect benefits of financial globalisation are likely to be important in three key areas: financial sector development, institutional quality, and macroeconomic policies. Is there empirical merit to our conceptual framework?
A good deal of research suggests that international financial flows serve as an important catalyst for domestic financial market development, as reflected both in straightforward measures of the size of the banking sector and equity markets and in broader concepts of financial market development, including supervision and regulation.
Research based on a variety of techniques, including country case-studies, supports the notion that the larger the presence of foreign banks in a country, the better the quality of its financial services and the greater the efficiency of financial intermediation. As for equity markets, the overwhelming theoretical presumption is that foreign entry increases efficiency, and the evidence seems to support this channel. Stock markets do, in fact, tend to become larger and more liquid after equity market liberalisations.
The empirical evidence suggests that financial globalisation has induced a number of countries to adjust their corporate governance structures in response to foreign competition and demands from international investors. Moreover, financial sector FDI from well-regulated and well-supervised source countries tends to support institutional development and governance in emerging market economies.
Capital account liberalisation, by increasing the potential costs associated with weak policies and enhancing the benefits associated with good ones, should also impose discipline on macroeconomic policies. Precisely because capital account liberalisation makes a country more vulnerable to sudden shifts in global investor sentiment, it can signal the country's commitment to better macroeconomic policies to mitigate the likelihood of such shifts and their adverse effects. Although the empirical evidence on this point is suggestive, however, it is sparse. Countries with higher levels of financial openness appear more likely to generate better monetary policy outcomes in terms of lower inflation, but there is no evidence of a systematic relationship between financial openness and better fiscal policies.
The evidence is hardly decisive, but it does consistently point to international financial integration as a catalyst for a variety of productivity-enhancing benefits. Given the difficulties that we have identified in interpreting the cross-country growth evidence, it is encouraging to see that financial market integration seems to be operating through some of the indirect channels.
Some studies have tackled the question of initial conditions needed for financial openness to generate good growth benefits while lowering the risks of a crisis. What are these initial conditions? Financial sector development, Institutional quality, quality of domestic macroeconomic policies, and Trade integration are found in empirical studies to be some basic supporting conditions, or thresholds that determine where on the continuum of potential costs and benefits a country ends up. It is the interaction between financial globalisation and this set of initial conditions that determines growth and volatility outcomes.
Readers would recognise a fundamental tension between the costs and benefits of financial globalisation. Most of the threshold conditions are similar to the collateral benefits. In other words, financial globalisation is a catalyst for a number of important collateral benefits but can greatly elevate the risk-to-benefit ratio if the initial conditions in these dimensions are inadequate.
Our synthesis of the literature on financial globalisation, while guardedly positive about the overall benefits of financial globalisation, suggests that as countries make the transition from less integrated to more integrated, they are likely to encounter major complications. For developing countries, financial globalisation appears to have the potential to generate an array of collateral benefits that may help boost long-run growth and welfare. At the same time, if a country opens its capital account without having some basic supporting conditions in place, the benefits can be delayed and the country can be more vulnerable to sudden stops of capital flows. This tension between the costs and benefits of financial globalisation may be difficult to avoid.
Does this imply that a country that wants the collateral benefits of financial globalisation has no alternative but to expose itself to substantial risks of crises? Or, alternatively, would developing countries do best to shield themselves from external influences while trying to improve the quality of their domestic policies and institutions to some acceptable level? Our view is that, although the risks can never be totally avoided, there are ways to improve the benefit-risk calculus of financial globalisation. There is, however, unlikely to be a uniform approach to opening the capital account that will work well for all countries.
The collateral benefits perspective may provide a way for moving forward on capital account liberalisation that takes into account individual country circumstances (initial conditions) as well as the relative priorities of different collateral benefits for that country. If one can identify which reform priorities are the key ones for a particular country, then one can, in principle, design an approach to capital account liberalisation that could generate specific benefits while minimising the associated risks. Further research is clearly needed in a number of areas before one can derive strong policy conclusions about the specifics of such an approach. Meanwhile, we should recognise that some of the more extreme polemic claims made about the effects of financial globalisation on developing countries, both pro and con, are far less easy to substantiate than either side generally cares to admit.

Rams-Giants: Winners & Losers from Week 6
How Cooper Kupp, Taylor Rapp, and Donte Deayon helped LA become easy winners against Daniel Jones

The Los Angeles Rams traveled cross-country and beat down the New York Giants 38-11. LA got off to a bit of a slow start, but once things started clicking they never really stopped. The Giants are dealing with a barrage of injuries, especially on offense, but the Rams get credit for taking care of business in such a convincing fashion.
LA now returns home with a 5-1 record. The Matthew Stafford era is off to a red-hot start, but there were a number of individual contributors that also played an important role in Sunday's domination of New York.
The Rams' signal caller did not have the most effective start to the game, which flashed shades of his prior two outings against the Arizona Cardinals and Seattle Seahawks (first half); however, the running game started clicking and the offense was off to the races.
Stafford finished 22 of 28 passes (78.5%) for 251 yards, 4 touchdowns, and an interception (thrown as the clock ran out on the first half). The Rams were able to push the ball down the field and rip off chunk plays almost at will.
A nit picker would note that Stafford did come close to throwing multiple interceptions that instead were dropped, but this level of performance will get the job done far more often than not.

Edge Rushers
LA has now played three games without starting OLB Justin Hollins (pectoral injury). This is the first week in this stretch where the Rams were able to apply pressure on the edge opposite of Leonard Floyd.
Second-year player Terrell Lewis recorded a sack for the third game in a row. Obo Okoronkwo had a strip sack on Daniel Jones that gave the Rams the ball deep in Giants territory.

— Justin (@hobokenjustin) October 17, 2021
Veteran Leonard Floyd recorded a strip sack on the first play of the game and then recorded another 0.5 sacks on the day. Jones is an effective running quarterback, and there were a number of occasions where Floyd was able to leverage his own athleticism to keep contain on Jones and prevent an off-schedule play. This is a positive development considering the quarterbacks the Rams face in NFC West divisional matchups: Kyler Murray, Russell Wilson, and Trey Lance.
It is also notable that Jamir Jones, Jr., who the Rams recently claimed off waivers from Pittsburgh, was given reps on defense before the game was out of hand. It seems that Los Angeles has more confidence in Jones than rookie Chris Garrett, who was inactive for this game.
Taylor Rapp, DB
Taylor Rapp has struggled in coverage at times this season, but the third-year safety was around the ball all day on Sunday - he recorded 2 interceptions on Jones but had opportunities for more. The LA secondary will be tested over the next two games with corner Darious Williams out with an ankle injury, which makes Rapp's surprise performance a welcome development.
Darrell Henderson, RB
Darrell Henderson has grown into an every-down back during his third year in the NFL - and he had another strong outing in New York. Henderson recorded 78 yards on 21 rushes for 1 touchdown. He also added 2 catches for 29 yards and 1 touchdown, with his most impressive play being a 25-yard touchdown reception on a slant-and-go route from Stafford.
The Los Angeles offensive line struggled at times with pass protection, particularly on 3rd down, but Henderson had room to run on the ground.
Second touchdown of the afternoon for @DarrellH8! #RamsHouse

Donte' Deayon, CB
Donte' Deayon had a strong performance against his former team after spending the last couple of years off and on the back-end of LA's roster and practice squad. While the veteran has shown promise during training camp and preseason in recent seasons, the Rams have seemed reluctant to give him a chance - which is likely a result of Deayon's slight frame.
It is noteworthy that Deayon was in the game early while David Long, Jr. was not, especially considering that the coaching staff cited Robert Rochell's size and length when addressing the benching of Long in favor of the rookie.
David Long, Jr., CB
Long did not make it onto the field for the defense in a meaningful way until the fourth quarter when the game was out of reach and LA begun pulling starters. This is quite a fall from grace for a player that was tagged by the team early in the offseason as a starter and up-and-coming player.
There is still plenty of time for Long to turn his career with the Rams around; however, his opportunities to do so may be limited if Rochell and Deayon continue to play in front of him.
Decision to not take starters out earlier
Stafford was still throwing passes in the fourth quarter when the outcome of the game was all but decided. Star Aaron Donald also recorded what could be considered a garbage time sack.
Sean McVay could have pulled the starters a lot earlier than he did, but this is something we've seen from him in the past. This approach has not yet been detrimental to the Rams in a significant way, but the potential risk is too great to take these kind of chances with key players.
One legit criticism of McVay since taking over?
He can be very hesitant to pull his starters. Will be interesting to see how he manages the end of this.
If I had to predict, Stafford and Donald gonna play well into the 4th and people here are going to be quite vocal...
— Bukayo Saka Liker (@3k_) October 17, 2021
The Rams did not seem to intent on upgrading at backup quarterback this past offseason, but based on John Wolford's performance filling in for Jared Goff a year ago and the team's salary cap situation, it makes some sense.
Wolford attempted 2 passes against New York, with his only completion going to the other team (interception). Has LA's backup shown enough to warrant confidence should he be needed in a meaningful scenario?
Injuries - Jake Funk, Johnny Mundt
With Los Angeles pulling starters and giving playing time to young players in the fourth quarter, it would have been interesting to see rookie Jake Funk and Johnny Mundt in expanded roles. Unfortunately, both suffered injuries and were ruled out mid-game.
Funk seems to be dealing with a lingering hamstring issue, so it's unlikely his injury keeps him out for too long.
On the other hand, the Rams seem concerned that Mundt suffered a serious knee injury. This could be an opportunity for second-year tight-end Brycen Hopkins to step up.
Sean McVay says it doesn't look good for tight end Johnny Mundt's knee injury. Mundt has been No. 2 TE behind Tyler Higbee.

Knin Fortress
Local nameKninska tvrđava
LocationKnin, Croatia
Knin Fortress is located near the tallest mountain in Croatia and near the source of the river Krka. It is the second largest fortress in Croatia and most significant defensive stronghold, and a historical town in the Šibenik-Knin County in the Dalmatian hinterland. The construction of the fortress started as early as 9th century, while the current state was brought up in 17th and 18th centuries. It reached its peak during the reign of Demetrius Zvonimir, King of Croatia from 1076, as it served as a political center of the Croatian Kingdom under him.

I've read a lot of books about neuroscience over the last five years. For some reason, they always find a way into my shopping cart at Audible when books go into the $4.95 discount bin. And I feel like I could write one now-- marsmallow test, check. Synesthesia? Check. Phineas Gage? Check.Runaway train experiment? Check. Parkinson's patients with gambling addictions? Check. While Incognito was an enjoyable listen and I think it might be a good place for someone to start reading who hasn't read a lot of the popular neuroscience in the last half decade, it ultimately felt like a rehashing of lots of things I already knew.

Glossary Home Definition
Intertextuality is a feature of a text that references another text. It reflects upon the latter and uses it as a reference for the new written work.
Intertextuality draws on style, rhetoric, and ideologies employed in the original. For instance, the writer might choose to retell an old story in a new way or take ideas from someone's work and utilize them while acknowledging their source. It can be used in stories, songs, novels, philosophical and academic works, as well as the visual arts.

Definition of Intertextuality
Intertextuality is a commonly studied feature of literature. It refers to the fact that one text emerges from the next. This might be due to literary movements' progression or a writer's conscious choice to refer to another writer's creation. The term encompasses the broad array of ways that texts are inspired by one another. Sometimes it occurs purposefully, while other times, the writer creates an example of intertextuality accidentally.
Depending on how a writer uses it, it may be more or less effective for a particular reader. Some, when the connections are clearly established and conveyed, can be quite compelling. While at other times, readers might miss a purposeful connection between two literary works or the work and a broader movement.
The term was first coined and used by Julia Kristeva in the 1960s. It comes from the Latin "intertexto," meaning "to intermingle while weaving." This makes a great deal of sense considering how literary themes, ideas, styles, and rhetorical devices are passed down throughout the ages and genres of literature. It should also be noted that intertextuality applies to everything from advertising to visual arts and songs.
Examples of Intertextuality in Literature
The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe by C.S. Lewis
This famous children's novel was inspired by the story of Christ's crucifixion as well as broader narratives from the Bible. Despite this, readers often enjoy the entire series of books without realizing the intense connections Lewis included in his novel. Lewis uses the story of Christ's crucifixion and uses it to define Aslan and other characters. Here is a famous quote from the novel:
"It isn't Narnia, you know," sobbed Lucy. "It's you. We shan't meet you there. And how can we live, never meeting you?"
"But you shall meet me, dear one," said Aslan.
"Are -are you there too, Sir?" said Edmund.
"I am," said Aslan. "But there I have another name. You must learn to know me by that name. This was the very reason why you were brought to Narnia, that by knowing me here for a little, you may know me better there."
The role Aslan plays in the children's lives is quite clearly demonstrated in these lines.

East of Eden by John Steinbeck
John Steinbeck's East of Eden is an American classic. It was published in 1952 and was considered by Steinbeck to be his masterpiece. When speaking about his novel, he said that it contains "everything in it I have been able o learn about my craft or profession in all these years." It focuses on two families, the Trasks and the Hamiltons, and was inspired by the Biblical story of Cain and Abel. Here are a few lines from the novel that make this example of intertextuality:
Even God can have a preference, can he? Let's suppose God liked lamb better than vegetables. I think I do myself. Cain brought him a bunch of carrots maybe. And God said, 'I don't like this. Try again. Bring me something I like and I'll set you up alongside your brother.' But Cain got mad. His feelings were hurt. And when a man's feelings are hurt he wants to strike at something, and Abel was in the way of his anger.
Steinbeck does not try to hide his allusions to the Bible in this passage. But, due to the widespread knowledge in regard to that story, it's likely that any reader would've understood Steinbeck's references even if the connections weren't as clear. While mentioning the story directly, Steinbeck also uses two characters, Cal and Aron, as contemporary versions of Cain and Abel.
Lord of the Flies by William Golding
Golding's best-known novel, The Lord of the Flies, contains a good example of intertextuality through its references to Treasure Island by Robert Louis Stevenson. But, rather than tell a lighthearted story about a group's love of nature and the island, he transforms it into something else entirely. Here is a famous quote from the novel:
Ralph wept for the end of innocence, the darkness of man's heart, and the fall through the air of the true, wise friend called Piggy.
It focuses on the violence at the heart of human existence and the cruelty one person can inflict on another, even when they're children.
Why Do Writers Use Intertextuality?
Intertextuality is an important part of every story, novel, poem, play, and other literary work ever written. It refers to the elements of the text that were inspired by previous texts. Writers use intertextuality on purpose and on accident. One can't help but be inspired by everything they've ever read in life and channel that into whatever they're writing. This might be a specific style of narrative, a type of character development, the use of rhetorical devices, and more.
When used on purpose, writers are seeking to connect their work to others they admire or were inspired by in another way. Readers will gain the best, all-around picture of what intertextuality is by reading as much as possible from as many different genres as they can find.
