Promoting successful transition to adulthood for urban youths: Are risk behaviors associated with career readiness?
Sarah Lindstrom Johnson, Vanya Jones, Tina Cheng
This article extends what is known about the relationship between adolescent involvement in risk behavior and successful transition to adulthood by examining its influence on career readiness. Having goals and plans for the future has been linked to positive health and educational outcomes. However, there has been less research to understand the key determinants of career readiness. This study explores the association between youth involvement in multiple risk behaviors and career readiness. One hundred twenty-five primarily urban African American youths were asked about their involvement with risk behaviors, including violence, drug, and alcohol use, and their career readiness. Structural equation models were estimated in Mplus 6.0. Controlling for academic achievement, the latent variable for violence involvement was significantly negatively related to career readiness (-.73, p < .05). In contrast, the latent variable for involvement with drugs and alcohol was not significantly related to adolescents' career readiness. This finding supports literature demonstrating that adolescents involved in violence may hold more fatalistic views about their life chances. It supports the importance of interventions for youths involved in violence that help them prepare for their future, perhaps by exposing them to positive role models, opportunities, and careers.

Hinkley Point C spending in the South West reaches £1bn with 6,500 jobs created so far
New figures released today show the growing positive impact of Hinkley Point C on jobs, skills and people in the South-West and beyond. The numbers are published in the latest annual report into the socio-economic benefits of the nuclear power station which is under construction in Somerset.
Hinkley Point C's Realising the Socio-economic Benefits report measures Hinkley Point C's performance against ambitions set out before construction began. It shows that:
Spending with South West businesses reached £980m by the end of January and has now topped £1bn. A further £500m is ready to be spent in new contracts which have already been signed.
6,500 people have worked on the construction site so far
1,700 of the current workforce live in Somerset, of which 300 are under 35 years old
8,500 people have been trained and assessed at the specially built Construction Skills and Innovation Centre near the site
380 apprentices have already been taken on by the project
As well as tackling climate change by providing decades of reliable, low carbon electricity, Hinkley Point C aims to provide lasting social and industrial benefits. These range from increasing local employment, to the development of a sustainable regional supply chain and the advancement of new training facilities and qualifications.
The report highlights the big efforts to build a pipeline of skills from schools to the site. Last year, the project worked with 14,500 pupils in over 100 schools and colleges. Efforts to increase the poor level of diversity in construction have shown women succeed in areas traditionally dominated by men – like operating the 50 cranes where half of the first crane apprentices are women. Work to improve accessibility in 2018 also saw the first intake of from a new supported traineeship for those with special educational needs.
As well as the jobs on site, around 800 people are working in Bristol on the project and thousands more are supplying Hinkley Point C from over 1,100 companies in every part of the UK. For example, around 1,000 workers come from Wales and more than 60 Welsh companies supply the project, including over 200,000 tonnes of steel that will be used on site. Positive benefit is also being felt by businesses close by in Somerset itself, with the report highlighting a number of examples including Portishead based Osprey and Taunton based Viridor. The full report and case studies are available online here.
Stuart Crooks, Managing Director, Hinkley Point C, said; "Our teams are making great progress on-site, but this report shows we are also delivering on our ambition to make a lasting difference to people, skills and the regional economy. We are providing opportunities for people to develop their talents and build lasting careers"
Sam Evans, Head of Hinkley Supply Chain Engagement at the Somerset Chamber of Commerce, said: "The work on site is accelerating, creating more and more opportunities for South West businesses to bid for and win valuable contracts as the supply chain grows. What's especially pleasing is that, far from the list of companies registered all being construction and engineering companies, we are seeing a broad range of sectors represented, including design agencies, catering companies, professional services firms and office fit-out businesses."

The Hinkley Supply Chain Programme
The Hinkley Supply Chain Programme is a funded support programme developed to help South West and South Wales based SME's (small/medium enterprises) who wish to target upcoming Hinkley Point C (HPC) opportunities.
The Heart of the South West and West of England Local Enterprise Partnerships (LEPs) and the Welsh Government have allocated substantial funds to deliver the Hinkley Supply Chain Programme over a three-year period. The aim is to support local companies by preparing them for upcoming HPC project opportunities, to increase their chances of winning future contracts.
As HPC moves forward, many contracts will be awarded throughout the remaining 8-year construction period, and also during the following 60+ years of operation and de-commissioning. The Hinkley Supply Chain Programme is delivered by our experienced team, consisting of a partnership between Somerset Chamber of Commerce, SWMAS and Business West and offers eligible companies targeted business support to maximise their chances of joining the HPC Supply Chain.
Is your company eligible, follow our simple flow chart to find out? For more information call the team on 01823 443425
The South West Hinkley Supply Chain Team
EDF Energy continue to fund the Hinkley Supply Chain Team managed by Somerset Chamber of Commerce which is identified as the single point of contact for both the regional supply chain seeking contract opportunities and main contractors seeking capable suppliers. Some 4000+ suppliers are registered on the portal with their capability now mapped against likely project requirements and this supply chain is now able to receive both project information and invitations to work package events and opportunities. Over 120 tier 1 and 2 contractors have been using this resource to source suppliers for bids and delivery with a range of work package and meet the buyer events supporting the objective. This central hub of data and information continues to provide a supplier engagement service to main contractors and provide information to suppliers registered.
In addition, with focussed funding from BIS (Department of Business Innovation and Skills) and Local Enterprise Partnerships the Hinkley Supply Chain Team (August 2015) has identified and assessed 30 work packages which resulted in over 700 supplier engagements sourcing 209 unique suppliers and resulting in 14 supplier clusters being identified and developed with a core group of 81 suppliers. 7 collaborative entities are now advanced in the process of being awarded interim agreements or preferred bidder status for contract values likely to be over £350 million during the project construction.
Business support for supply chain development has been strengthened following a collaboration between the Somerset Chamber of Commerce, SWMAS Ltd (delivering the Manufacturing Advisory Service) and Business West Ltd (delivering Business Support). This collaboration will increase the supply chain footprint across the South West and enable the Hinkley Supply Chain Team to draw upon a bigger pool of available resource.

Home / West embarrassed as Nursultan Nazarbayev secures third term through rigged elections
West embarrassed as Nursultan Nazarbayev secures third term through rigged elections
Shaikh Ahmed M
Dhu al-Hijjah 01, 14262006-01-01
President Nursultan Nazarbayev secured a third seven-year term of office after receiving 91 percent of the votes in a probably rigged poll on December 4, while his main challenger, Zarmakhan Tuyakbai, came second with only 6.6 percent. Most pre-election predictions were that the corrupt, authoritarian ruler of oil-rich Kazakhstan would win, but with a much smaller majority. It is true that his current share is smaller than the 99 percent he is supposed to have received in his first contest, but it exceeds the 80 percent he won seven years ago and this has caused widespread suspicion that the poll must have been rigged. The Organisation for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE) certainly found it flawed although, somewhat surprisingly, a high-level British team of observers (comprised of politicians and academics) called it fair and free. This led to angry responses from Kazakh opposition leaders and to accusations of the British team's having links with corporate investors in the country's oil industry, and of seeking to discredit the OSCE mission.
The OSCE, which sent 460 observers, said that the election failed to meet international democratic standards. Among the main flaws listed were restrictions on campaigning, interference at polling stations, multiple voting, pressure on students to vote, media bias and restrictions on freedom of expression. "There was harassment, intimidation and detentions of campaign staff and supporters of opposition candidates, including cases of beatings of campaign staff," said the OSCE report.
Interestingly, the OSCE mission was led by Bruce George, a British Labour MP. But the seven-strong British team, led by Lord Parkinson, which called itself a "British parliamentary group", directly contradicted the OSCE's report. "The presidential election on December 4 represents a very significant advance," said its report, adding that it was "genuinely competitive and voters were given a real choice between candidates." The report was even more brazen in its final remarks: "We found no reason to doubt the integrity of the election process", for instance. The politicians in the team were not all members of the Labour Party; also present among them was Peter Lilley, a former Tory Party trade secretary. Since Russia was the only country noisily and widely supporting the election results, it came as no surprise that the Russian media presented the team's conclusions as those of a mission set up by the British parliament. Fortunately the team's dubious origins and its apparent connections with business groups interested in Kazakhstan's energy industry were exposed – even by British MPs who were highly critical of it.
Kazakh opposition leaders led the attack on the team as representatives of corporate investors in the country's growing energy business, and accused them of corruption. To take only one example, Oraz Zhandosov, a former finance minister and co-leader of the Naghyz Ak Zhol party, told a British daily on December 6 that the team was "lying", and that it "must have been funded by a large energy company or a front for the Kazakh government." John Mann, the Labour head of Britain's all-party parliamentary group on Kazakhstan, was equally critical and appeared to agree with him on the issue of corruption. Arguing that the team's mission was to discredit the OSCE report, he said: "This is like the old Soviet Union, where people go a couple of days before the vote and then say everything was brilliant immediately afterwards. One has to question their motives and ask what their agenda is and who is paying."
Indeed. But none of those who bothered to ask these questions could give a convincing answer. Peter Lilley, for instance, said that he did not know who had paid for his trip and that, therefore, he could not be accused of "moulding my opinions to fit someone else's agenda." He defended his team's decision to contradict the OSCE's report and defend the poll as a fair and free exercise. But it must be said that even the questions raised in the debate on the election did not go far enough. Why, for instance, were the British government and parliament so interested in Kazakh affairs, to the extent of sending an all-party mission to the former Soviet republic; and why was London, like other Western capitals, so silent on the rigging of the election? The answer is, of course, simple, linked as it is to the deep involvement of Western governments and businesses with the development of the highly lucrative energy industry.
Kazakhstan (like Azerbaijan and Turkmenistan, both also Muslim and once members of the former Soviet Union) has large gas and oil deposits that are guaranteed to last for at least forty or fifty years. Moreover, it charges very small tax-rates on oil profits (also like Azerbaijan and Turkmenistan), unlike Russia, which charges 50 percent. This naturally attracts western businesses, which make enormous profits as a result, and western governments, which receive lucrative tax revenues. The fact that the Kazakh president is so corrupt that he, members of his family and many of their friends are deeply involved in the energy business makes it easier to deal with and control them. Nazarbayev has even been praised in the Western media as an economic reformer. Describing him as a "genuinely popular" leader despite his obvious faults, the Economist commented on December 10 as follows: "Although there is dissatisfaction with the authoritarian leader and his family, who are believed to have amassed significant wealth over the years and who hold key positions in politics and business, he has a proven record of economic reforms that have helped create a middle class."
It is, of course, true that Nazarbayev embarrassed his western backers by the margin of his victory. In fact, they would have been happy with a result nearer 70 percent, as the Financial Times said in an editorial on the poll on December 6. "Nazarbaev ignored the pressure from the West to give the opposition a chance," it said. "A 70-30 result would have given Mr Nazarbaev's friends in the West the opportunity to argue that there was political progress [in Kazakhstan]." In the event, the result was 91-6.6, but even this was not enough to move his Western friends to criticise him or take action to have the results of the election annulled.
There is, naturally, another reason why the West is not challenging Nazarbayev, despite its governments' claims that they wish to introduce democracy into the republics of the former Soviet Union. Kazakhstan is a strong and valued supporter of the so-called war on terrorism. Nazarbaev, who is anxious to protect his power and his family's wealth, is determined to establish a dynastic power-base, and democratic rule has no place in his future plans. This is indicated, for instance, by his daughter's statement after the announcement of the results of the election. Dariga said that she is "not ruling out running for the top job in 2012."
By common agreement the biggest threat to Nazarbayev's plans and to the West's control of Kazakhstan's energy wealth would be a popular Islamic movement; hence the cooperation to try to ensure that no such movement can threaten the status quo.

"I was introduced to the work of artist Elizabeth D'Angelo some time ago by a now-mutual friend who used a piece of Elizabeth's art as the background for the design of her Facebook profile picture. I was intrigued by it, and it led me to Elizabeth's profile on Redbubble, (http://www.redbubble.com/people/bethdangelo), where I found an amazing collection of representations of people, animals, and even mythical beings of Ms. D'Angelo's own creation. Our mutual friend's birthday was coming up, so the idea came to create a series of paintings as a surprise gift for her.
As our friend is a strikingly beautiful woman, many photos of her were available online, and we assembled and curated them to make the final selection to be used as the basis of four 8-by-8-inch paintings. I have never met Elizabeth in person – I live on the opposite coast — but our online collaboration on this project over a three-month period was a happy one, and the work arrived at our friend''s home in plenty of time for her birthday.
Elizabeth likes to know as much as she can about her subjects. She did research to determine our friend''s favorite things, so the result was far more than a simple collection of portraits. Our friend''s image was surrounded with the colors, animals, birds, plants and other features that she loves in a unique design that made each panel quintessentially "her." The gift, when she opened it, was a huge success. Nothing quite like this had ever been done for her before.
Elizabeth's work didn''t just add to our friend's beauty in the paintings, but, in my opinion at least, actually multiplied it, taking it to a whole new level. That's what Elizabeth does. It is almost impossible for a sensitive viewer to look at a D'Angelo painting or design and not be greatly uplifted or deeply moved by it."

DeKalb Township operates the two oldest cemeteries located in the city of DeKalb. Evergreen Cemetery at South 7th and East Taylor Streets dates from 1855.. Oakwood (originally Oakland) was established in 1865 on the west side of North 1st Street, behind where the First congregational Church building of 1954 was constructed. Prior to the 1990′s, both cemeteries had long been administered by the Union Cemetery Association.
Russell Huntley is the recognized founder of DeKalb, arriving here in 1837. The coming of the Galena & Chicago Union Railroad – later the Chicago & Northwestern Railroad, now the Union Pacific Railroad – 1n 1853 led to the formal platting of the village which became DeKalb.
History records the fact that deaths were known to have occurred here as early as 1837. As no cemeteries then existed in this area, it was customary to bury the dead on their own property or at places where it was safe to do so. Most such burials would later be moved to the early cemeteries, although it is possible that the last resting places of some of these pioneers may have been built over by other settlers as the years went by. Burials are even said to have been made at locations in what is today downtown DeKalb.
Evergreen Cemetery occupies a slightly raised site just south of Roosevelt Street, the southern boundary of DeKalb. While the original grounds were donated, it soon became impossible to acquire land for future expansion. Among the noteworthy early settlers who lie at rest here are farmers Benjamin Gurler and Elisha Foster, blacksmith Phineas Vaughan and co-founder of DeKalb, Lewis Huntley. Vaughan is in a family plot, where his blacksmith's anvil has marked his grave site since 1897.
Oakwood Cemetery is set back a generous distance from North 1st Street, accessed via a long lane which also serves the parking lot of the Congregational Church. Oakwood stood northwest of the city when it was established, later being surrounded by barbed wire entrepreneur Isaac Ellwoods' local land holdings. (Ellwood attempted unsuccessfully in the 1880′s to relocate Oakwood.) In spite of how the church is in front of the cemetery, they are totally separate entities.
Oakwood's natural setting, beneath a mantle of mature trees, makes for an attractive scene. Among the historic figures at rest here are George Gurler (115 year veteran of the Civil War), Dry Goods dealer H.H. Wagner, Judge Harry McEwen and early Justice of the Peace Eli B. Gilbert (moved here in 1952 from the old Pleasant Street Cemetery).
A number of persons originally buried in Oakwood were subserviently moved from here to Fairview Cemetery after it began operations in 1902. Some of those persons included Mrs. Joseph (Lucinda) Glidden, Hiram Ellwood and Isaac Ellwood's 7 year old son Oakley who died in 1872.
The old Union Cemetery Association turned over all of its assets to DeKalb Township in 1997, as their financial situation continued to deteriorate. The Township and Springfield then worked to bring about the actual legal transfer in ownership.
For an historic last resting place, consider Evergreen or Oakwood Cemetery.
Written by prominent area historian, Steve Bigolin


Here is another treat for summer, our lager in cans (finally)!
We have been brewing our lager, here at the brewery, since July 2015. It has been a beer that has been slowly growing momentum since we introduced it. After a conversation and some prodding from Adam at Tommi's Burger Joint, during Meatopia last year, who urged us to put it in cans. We made the call to go ahead!
So, after 4 months of planning and getting everything ready; can designed, boxes made and space in the schedule, we decided to release it, ready to be enjoyed in the sun! Pete Fowler has again produced some stunning designs to help it fit into our range!
From the 14th - 18th of May, we are launching it exclusively at Tommi's on Berwick Street in Soho, who have planned a special accompaniment to go with the release. It will then join Kapow! and Push Eject in our range of permanent canned beers!
It is a top fermented Köln style Lager, with Czech Saaz and a touch of U.S. Columbus hops to add a touch of depth. We hope you find it as refreshing as we do, with a side helping of the sun!
P.s. If you enjoy great Lager and fun, we highly recommend you follow @CAMELager.
P.p.s. Keep an eye on Honest Brew, it should be available along with Kapow!, Push Eject and our current specials from the 19th of May! Here.

Sandpiper Clothiers celebrates 40 years
By Coastal Breeze News Staff | on February 21, 2013
Local shop to commemorate its ruby anniversary with 'Dress for Success' clothing drive
By Noelle H. Lowery
When you walk into Sandpiper Clothiers, you know you are in for a unique shopping experience. Color pops everywhere from the Vera Bradley display of florals and paisleys in the back to the reds, blues, pinks and oranges of the Bella Bags adorning the walls around the shop.
Some customers wade through racks of resort-style designs from Lilly Pulitzer, Lisette L Pants and Foxcroft for women and Kahala, Berle and Hook & Tackle for men, while others mill about an array of swimwear, shoes, jewelry and adorable toys. Located at 1069 N. Collier Blvd. in the Marco Town Center, the door to Sandpiper Clothiers never stays closed for very long.
It is no small wonder this Marco Island staple is bustling with activity. The shop's owner, Freddie Reynolds, knows her stuff. In fact, with three stores currently open and a strong online retail presence, Sandpiper Clothiers is celebrating 40 years of business this year. The first location has called the private community of Ocean Reef Club in Key Largo its home since 1963.
"I was bored," says Reynolds of her idea
Bella Bags are a hot commodity at Sandpiper Clothier
to open a clothing store. "We owned a dry storage marina, and I was the only female among 60 employees. I thought (opening the store) was something that might be fun."
It is a sentiment that not only helped Reynolds create a booming enterprise but that also has carried throughout her family. Over the last four decades, Reynolds has been joined in the business by her two daughters — Sandra Hawkins and Barb Perdue — and Hawkins' three daughters — Shauna Lee, Dawn Elizabeth and five-year-old Allysa, who appears in the print advertising for Sandpiper.
"All of the girls grew up in the business," notes Hawkins. "The stores have always felt like home."
Reynolds brought the fun, family and business to Marco Island in 1985, and then to Naples three years later. Today, Reynolds and Hawkins run the Marco Island and Naples stores with Dawn Elizabeth, while Perdue and Shauna Lee manage the Key Largo shop.
According to Reynolds, her family's success rests squarely on the shoulders of her customers. "The customers we developed at the beginning we still have today. Our customers have been kind and loyal. We have been very lucky in that respect," she
Vera Bradley is just one designer amongmany featured in Sandpiper Clothiers'resort-style clothing shops.
says.
A little help from Kathie Lee Gifford didn't hurt either. About three years ago on her segment on "Today Show," Gifford gushed about finding the Lisette L Pant-alon at Sandpiper's Key Largo location. NBC expanded on that by linking its website with Sandpiper's site, and the rest is retail history.
"The phone was ringing off the hook, and the web site exploded," remembers Dawn Elizabeth. "We have sold at least one pair of those pants online everyday ever since."
In celebration of their success and customers, the women of Sandpiper Clothiers are opening their doors to give back to their communities. Beginning March 1st, and extending for 40 days, Sandpiper Clothiers will be a drop location for donations for "Dress for Success," an international not-for-profit organization that helps promote economic independence for women in need by providing them with professional attire, career development and other support services.
For Reynolds and her family, connecting their 40th anniversary to "Dress for Success" was a no-brainer. "'Dress for Success' is about women and fashion, and helping women feel good about themselves. We do the same thing in our stores everyday," Dawn Elizabeth explains.
"We are giving back the way we know best — through fashion."

Feast for a Good Cause: Teaching Children to Eat (and Grow) Their Vegetables
By Rob Patronite and Robin Raisfeld

Today's schoolchildren are no dummies. It's no use trying to trick them into thinking that chocolate milk comes from brown cows and ketchup is a vegetable. Nor can you convince the little brainiacs, as our doting parents once did, that the reason the school cafeteria always serves tater tots, corn dogs, nachos, and SpaghettiOs is because these are the four major food groups. For this, you can thank benefits like the following three, which raise funds to teach children where good food comes from, and how to grow it themselves.
Edible Schoolyard Benefit at Franny's
What: A sumptuous Tuscan-inspired family-style feast (olives and salumi, pappa al pomodoro, roasted pork loin arista, braised black kale, brick-oven roasted potatoes, heirloom shell beans, and panna cotta, plus wine), to benefit the Edible Schoolyard at P.S. 216 in Gravesend, which will be the first New York affiliate of Alice Waters's pioneering program.
When: October 3, from noon to 3 p.m.
Where: Franny's
Tickets: $250 per person, online
Taste of Greenmarket
What: Celebrate local food and farms by stuffing yourself silly with dishes by April Bloomfield, Michael Anthony, Marco Canora, Peter Hoffman, Tom Colicchio, and twenty more Greenmarket-crazed chefs. Proceeds benefit Greenmarket's Youth Education Project.
When: October 6, 6 p.m. to 10 p.m.
Where: the Altman Building, 135 W. 18th St., nr. Sixth Ave.
Tickets: VIP: $300; general admission: $175, online
Harvest Fest
What: Live music, hayrides, "Farm Olympics," farmer's market, raffle prizes, and a seasonal pie smackdown. Proceeds support scholarships for farm camp, school programs, and young farmer training.
When: October 2, 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.
Where: Stone Barns Center for Food & Agriculture
Tickets: $30 for adults; $20, ages six to fourteen; $10, ages two to five, online

Warren Pash and Theresa Kereakes don't remember meeting in 1978 in L.A., when the city was a riot of "scary bell-bottom music, people in big tall boots singing songs about the California sun, and people on Hollywood Boulevard with safety pins in their face who looked like they'd kill you," says Pash—but they're sure they did. Maybe they met at that party that Theresa, a photographer who had befriended Debbie Harry, Belinda Carlisle, Billy Idol and other soon-to-be stars, hosted at her apartment behind the Whisky a Go Go—the one that Kevin Costner came to. Or maybe it was through Kereakes' neighbor Joan Jett or at an Elton John or Electric Light Orchestra concert they were both at.
Pash and Kereakes, now both East Nashvillians, have found a way to revisit their 1978 halcyon days—this time together— through an audio-visual record and oral history they've created called "(19)78 RPM: Memoirs from an Analog Life." It debuted on a recent November night at The Family Wash, when the Music City super-group Sons of Zevon took to that tiny, festooned stage and plowed balls–tothe- walls through a trove of cover songs, all from the year 1978. Pash, who joins the band for its infrequent gigs, had suggested to Family Wash owner Jamie Rubin (also in Sons of Zevon) that they combine their 1978 efforts. Prior to the show, some of the black-and-white photos Kereakes took of her musician pals in the '70s were hung on the Family Wash walls, and mid-show she and Pash answered questions about their respective experiences photographing, playing music and getting chummy with some of the biggest names in music.
Fresh from Canada, Pash was hanging out at a lot of Hollywood hotspots in 1978, sidling up to the likes of Mick Jagger at bars, while getting a foothold as an actor and a musician. He'd go on a few years later to write Hall & Oates' "Private Eyes," among other career feats, but in 1978 Pash and Kereakes were barely out of their teens. The two would "officially" meet in Nashville 30 years later, at which point they delighted in discovering that they'd once attended a staggering number of the same concerts and parties and had many of the same boldfaced acquaintances. More importantly, they bonded over their retrospective elation to have witnessed the grimy, glitzy phenomenon that was the backstage environs of Hollywood Boulevard and the Sunset Strip in 1978.
The magic may be long gone, but Pash still looks for remnants of its existence.
Forthcoming "(19)78 RPM" presentations won't include the Sons of Zevon, but that evening at Family Wash wasn't too far from future iterations of what Pash and Kereakes envision as a years-long multimedia tour of universities, bars, and record stores that will include a "VH1 Storytellers"-style Q&A (Kereakes was an original producer of that show; this is but one of many remarkable points on her résumé), photos, and live music. Pash will cover the likes of Lou Reed, Tom Petty, Blondie—deep cuts, not the obvious hits—the stuff Kereakes and Pash heard live in 1978.

What's your TV tip for the week?Wife Swap (Mondays, 9pm, Channel 4) It's a guilty pleasures and I can't believe I'm admitting to it but it give me permission to have a total superiority complex.
So who keeps control of the remote in your house? My boyfriend, I keep hold of it but he tells me what to switch to.
And what do you both switch to? Any Channel 4 cookery show and anything with David Mitchell in it – The Mitchell and Webb Look (BBC2) obviously, but if he's on anything else we'll absolutely watch it. And we're watching repeats of My Name Is Earl (C4).
And what about when your boyfriend's out and you get some TV me-time? It's generally the guilty pleasure stuff again. Supernanny (C4), Location, Location, Location (C4). I probably watch far more of that than programmes I don't feel guilty about.
What did you like to watch as a kid? Jackanory.
They're bringing it back, you know. Will you watch it? Are they really? I probably would. We've got a TV in the office so I'll be interested to see who they have on and what kind of books they're using.
If you could be in charge of what shows were brought back, what would they be? Threads – because it terrified me as a teenager, I'd like to see if it's still as scary though it probably isn't. And there was a programme called Raffles on Saturday evenings about a Victorian gentleman thief. My mum lusted after the star (Anthony Valentine). I was allowed to stay up late to watch it, so I have fond memories if that.
What about the ads, got any favourites at the moment? I love the Nokia sponsorship bumpers for the X Factor (ITV1), they're excellent, especially the Mr Loverman one. They're funny, sum up the product, and definitely go along with what people are watching.
Are there any recent shows you wish you hadn't missed? One of the things I'm really regretting missing is Death of a President (More4). I've seen bits of it since and it looked really good.
What shows mirror your life most accurately, not Wife Swap presumably? God no. Probably Lost (Channel 4) because I lost my mobile last week, and left a bag of birthday presents and a cardi at a theatre on Friday. I'm going through a losing phase at the moment.
If you could get a part in any TV show which would it be? I would like to have been one of Dr Who's helpers in the Tom Baker years (though David Tennant is the sexiest). Not as Bonnie Langford though. Or a walk-on part in Coronation Street (ITV1) because I'm northern.
David Tennant and Raffles aside, who's your top TV crush? Julian Rhind-Tutt, the gorgeous blonde curly-haired guy from Green Wing and the new Barclays ads. I've always had a thing for blondes. I used to fancy Chris Packham when I was at school.
• All Star Family Fortunes, Saturday 4:55pm, ITV1.
• George Michael I'm Your Man – A South bank Show Special, Tuesday 10pm and 22pm, ITV1.

You'll barely recognise Deepika in her first cover shoot for ELLE
This is what the photographer had to say after her debut cover shoot
By Hasina Khatib November 30th, 2016
The year is 2005, model-on-the-rise Deepika Padukone steps in front of the camera in the frothiest of chiffons and the daintiest of florals. Then all of 19, immediately finds a fan in ace photographer Tarun Khiwal. "[Deepika is] very unspoilt and not even a hint of a tantrum. She is the new face of Indian modelling and absolutely lovely," raved Khiwal after the shoot.
Two years later, the world would come to know and love her as Shanti in her big-ticket debut Om Shanti Om, starring opposite Shah Rukh Khan. Deepika's career has gone from strength to strength ever since: after winning over the country's critics with back-to-back stellar performances, the lady has set her sights on the global box office with a feisty role in xXx: Return of Xander Cage opposite Vin Diesel.
As she preps for her big Hollywood release, we dusted out our time machine and went for a quick trip down memory lane to Deepika's very first shoot with ELLE. Here are the souvenirs that we brought back with us.

The World Bread Awards were more popular than ever this year. More entries, more categories and a much higher standard of competition. The Global HQ of Virtuous Bread is thrilled to announce that Bread Angels picked up an impressive collection of 18 awards and were runners up in two categories.
Bread Angels are all professional bakers. They run microbakeries from their homes, baking and selling bread in their local communities to neighbours, from local businesses, and at local markets. They know most of their customers personally and act as a cherished resource providing excellent bread and nurturing relationships that are one of the keys to holding their communities together.
Their achievements are fantastic not least because they do not have the fancy equipment most bakeries have, such as steam injected ovens or proofing chambers. Their achievements are particularly marvellous to me because every Bread Angel started his or her career by taking the Bread Angel micro bakery course, something I started and we have all developed over the past eight years. Many Bread Angels had never baked a loaf of bread before doing the course but there was something - just something - that drew them to the idea of making bread their business. Many of the award winners teach baking, and if you click here, you can book a course with one of them. All of them sell bread, so you can buy bread from them too - depending on where you live.
Click here if you have a nagging interest in learning how to bake bread and set up a microbakery of your own. We will love to welcome you. Keep reading to marvel at the list of awards the Bread Angels have won! If you would like more information on our story or the stories of any of the award winning bakers listed here, please contact us.
Seeded rye from Liz Wilson. So lovely!

We look forward to welcoming you and we congratulate all of the award winning Bread Angel bakers.


For the complete Bragging Rights rules and to vote for other matchups, click here. In this matchup we've got some Wildcat-on-Wildcat action as Arizona takes on Kentucky.
Team synopsis: Leave Agent Zero on the bench? Am I crazy? Maybe. But this competition wants the players currently playing the best, not who has the best resume. Arenas just isn't playing at the same level anymore, and both Budinger and Frye are having better seasons. This is a dangerous Arizona team, with a lot of players who can fill up the stat sheet in a number of ways.
Team synopsis: A pretty young Kentucky squad, which of course is the trend for John Calipari's one-and-done factory in Lexington these days. It's hard to find a more dynamic backcourt than Rondo and Wall, while both Cousins and Patterson can get on the boards with the best. Prince gives them some veteran leadership, and maybe playing in a competition like this would help him forget a dismal season in Detroit. Some might have Hayes over Patterson in the lineup, but Patterson's offense gives him the edge.
All Ball's take: A battle of youth vs. experience. Kentucky has the better collection of athletes, but Arizona's all-around game will be hard to stop.
Results: The first upset of the Bragging Rights tourney, as the 3-seed Wildcats beat the 2-seed Wildcats. Confused? Let me clarify – Kentucky moves on, 61%-39%.
I like Arizona in this one. Kentucky doesn't have enough shooters to matchup. 3/5 of Kentucky's players couldn't even win an NCAA title last year. Up until recently, Patterson barely even played too.
Welll really if you asked me they dont need shooters to matchup. There back court is to quick they wouldnt be able to stop the penetration.
Come on KENTUCKY Wildcats!! ONE-MORE-TIME!!!
Kentucky would nail this one for sure, though Arizona in my opinion has more experience and is more well rounded, and should be the one going through.. Why? Cause fan favorites John Wall and Rajon Rondo are in Kentucky….and this IS nothing more than a popularity vote..
i pick arizona in this one, there are more athletic and shooters on the team which spacing will be so much effective..
I'm surprised more people aren't going with Arizona I this one, I definitely would like them in this matchup.
This is one of the closer and would be fun to watch this one. Arizona has a good group of guys but Ima have to go with UK. Kentucky Baby!!!
Andre Igudala vs. Pattrick Patterson… Do I even need to say, AI9… duh.
Toughest matchup of all the schools, but Arizona comes out on top because of experience, toughness, and shooting.
Kentucky lineup is a defense oriented team Cousins and Patterson can both give you 20-10 while rondo leading the league in steals with john wall right behind him.Prince got to the NBA because of his scoring and his ability to shut down the other teams (Kobe).This is probably one of the best teams I have seen.


With spring just around the corner, it's time to tend to those trees and flowers. But you're not the only one racing to those fruits and flowers — birds might get to your garden before you do. One way to deal with those angry birds is by making your own scarecrow. You don't have to buy one; you can make a craft out of it!
A scarecrow doesn't need to say "Halloween." The intention is to scare the birds away, not your neighbours. You can use anything from your own home and clothes collection. Think of it as a decorative element in your back or front yard.
First and foremost, you need an old broomstick to use as a body. It is preferable to leave the bristles attached for a hat to rest on and to use for a face. Use the other broomstick to create arms and give your scarecrow structure, by glueing and tying it to the main broomstick in a cross shape. For the clothing, use any old rags that you have lying around: an old T-shirt, dress shirt or dress will do. Try to stick to cotton or other non-slippery materials. Pretend that the bristles are the head and place the shirt on. Tighten it at the back and glue it down the broomstick with a glue gun so it doesn't fly away on windy days.
Now that the scarecrow is dressed, start to make it look more human. Use black or brown yarn and glue it to the ends of the bristles, taking the shape of shoulder-length hair. It doesn't need to look neat or trendy; it is meant to look like crazy, messy hair. Use any hat that you no longer need and glue it at the top. (Again, it is important to glue it in so it does not fly away.) You can draw in eyes with a marker or sew or glue on buttons. You can use old gloves and staple them to the sleeves — just get creative!
After you're done, it's time to secure your scarecrow in the ground. Dig into a soft area (water the ground first, if necessary) of your garden and "plant" the scarecrow. Make sure to sink the broomstick at least halfway into the ground and secure it well with earth, to prevent it toppling over.

Chris Antemann's Forbidden Fruit at The Museum of Arts and Design
If the idea of bearing witness to dozens of tiny, semi-clad porcelain figurines that appear to be on the cusp of indulging in a bacchanalian orgy floats your boat, have I a got an art exhibit for you. Chris Antemann's Forbidden Fruit — up now at the Museum of Arts and Design — celebrates the collaboration between the Oregon-based artist and Meissen, the renowned manufacturer of fine Porcelain.
Detail from Above Photo
In 2011, Antemann was invited to participate in Meissen's Art Studio Program, where she worked closely with Meissen's master artisans to create unique pieces and a series of limited editions that strike a perfect balance between her distinctive style and Meissen's identity. These pieces are arranged in Forbidden Fruit as a grand installation that reinvents and invigorates the great figurative tradition.
Inspired by eighteenth-century porcelain figurines and decorative art, Antemann's delicate and intricately detailed sculptures are lavishly presented on a central banquet table alongside a selection of stand alone sculptures and a nine-light porcelain chandelier. Her centerpiece, Love Temple (2013), is inspired by Meissen's great historical model of Johann Joachim Kändler's monumental Love Temple (1750). Stripping the original design back to its basic forms, added her own figures, ornamentation, and flowers to her five-foot work, as well as a special finial with three musicians to herald the arrival of guests to the banquet of "forbidden fruit" below.
Using the Garden of Eden as her metaphor, Antemann has created a contemporary interpretation of the eighteenth-century banqueting craze by inserting her scantily clad male and female figures.
Posed in intimate and playful vignettes of seduction, Antemann's figures convey narratives of domesticity, social etiquette, and taboos while making formal references to classic Baroque Meissen figurines. The ceramist invents a new narrative on contemporary morality in a setting that evokes the decadence of François Boucher and Jean-Antoine Watteau.
Chris Antemann's Forbidden Fruit will be on Exhibit Through February 5, 2017 at the Museum of Arts and Design, Located at 2 Columbus circle (58th Street) in NYC.

The Jackson County War (1869-1870) by Dr. Marvin Dunn
1.18.1879 Cartoon issue of Harper's Weekly-Mr. Solid South writing on wall
Anti-black violence in Florida was rampant even before the cannons cooled at Appomattox. Beyond all other reasons for racially motivated violence in Florida in the two decades following the Civil War, in terms of the sheer number of blacks murdered, it was the effort by whites to suppress or outright eliminate the black vote that exceeded all other pretexts for killing blacks. And of all the places in Florida in which such violence occurred, nowhere did it exceed that which was dealt to the black citizens of Jackson County and the whites who supported them.
Jackson County was created by the Florida Territorial Council in 1822 out of a part of Escambia County, making it the third county to be established in Florida. Named for Andrew Jackson, the county originally extended from the Choctawhatchee River on the west to the Suwannee River on the east, but its boundaries were reduced to make additional counties by 1840. Marianna was established as the Jackson County seat in September of 1827.
Located just south of the Georgia border, Jackson County became a part of the rich north Florida agricultural belt that required thousands of slaves. After the defeat of the South in the Civil War, there were many angry whites in Jackson County, some of whom were reported to be inclined to use violence to quell black political aspirations. Whippings and murders of blacks had occurred before the war, but southern white opposition to Reconstruction policies became an actual "rebellion against the constitutional authority of the State."i
This account of events in the conflict is based upon Joe M. Richardson's study of the Jackson County War as reported in his book, The Negro in the Reconstruction of Florida. According to Richardson, an expert on this period in Florida, disorder was widespread throughout the state, but was most virulent in Jackson County. A former Regulator (white vigilante) estimated the number of murders in Jackson County during Reconstruction at 175. Other conservative estimates placed it at about 150. Although some of the victims were not politically active, the whites of the county managed to "exterminate" sixty Republican leaders, black and white, in two years.
The white aggressors claimed the war in Jackson County was caused by two Republicans, William J. Purman and Charles M. Hamilton, who were accused of inciting the freedmen. The charges were true if the definition of inciting was encouraging the blacks to assume the rights and obligations of citizens. Full citizenship for the blacks was exactly what white residents of Jackson County did not want. Evidence points to the real motives for violence in the county as politically inspired "and the fact the blacks were acting too much like free men."ii There was also evidence that Republicans were using their carpetbagger powers to take land away from whites.
The Jackson County War started with an insult. In early 1869 Colonel James Coker, a conservative white man and a leading figure in Marianna, went to the office of John Q. Dickinson, a white Republican, and spit in his face, knocked off his hat, and called him a "god damned nigger-loving son of a bitch." iii The difficulty escalated a few weeks later when one of the two white men in Jackson County that conservatives hated most, Republican Dr. John L. Finlayson, the circuit county clerk, was murdered and the other white Republican, William J. Purman, was wounded. The culprits were probably Regulators. Purman was the primary objective because he was a leader of the freedmen. Finlayson was a local man but was unpopular because he favored Republican Reconstruction. The political assassination of Finlayson and the attack on Purman raised political tensions in the county.iv
By the late 1880s, as a result of Reconstruction politics, Calvin Rogers, a black man, was the Constable of Marianna. He was born around 1832 in Florida, although the exact location is unknown. He was disliked by many whites, not simply because he symbolized the new political order, but because he merely carried out his duties. His ascent to office had taken place during a period of anarchy and murder unmatched in the history of the state.v Trouble escalated on September 28, 1869, when Constable Rogers and a group of blacks were ambushed as they were traveling to a picnic at Robinson's Spring. "Unseen gunmen opened fire on the party from a dense thicket along the roadside. A freedman named Wyatt Scurlock and a small boy were killed. A posse of thirty armed blacks set out to find the killers but were unable to find any trace of them. The next day, two other blacks were shot and wounded just outside Marianna by 'unknown parties.'"vi
The third violent incident in as many days took place on October 1. Apparently, the other side struck back. James F. McClellan was a powerful white man and a leader of the local Regulators. It was common knowledge that he did not like Rogers. On that day, McClellan was sitting on the porch of a boarding house talking to James Coker, the Regulators mentioned earlier who had spat on Dickinson, the white Republican, months earlier. McClellan's daughter, Maggie, was sitting between the two men.
Suddenly, shots rang out. Maggie was killed instantly, and her father was seriously wounded by gunshots that came out of the darkness. "The whites believed that Calvin Rogers was responsible for the shooting and feared the beginning of a race war. Marianna was thrown 'into a frenzy' and several men were dispatched to warn those outside of town that whites were not safe in the 'countryside.' Several young Regulators, apparently drunk, went in search of Calvin Rogers whom they blamed for the murder. The elder and 'better' white men 'kept mostly out of sight.'"vii
Dickinson, the white Republican who had been spit upon, attempted to keep a record of the outrages which, according to his reports, now occurred almost every day. The report noted, "On October 2, Calvin Rogers was chased and wounded, and an attack made on the home of another Negro, wounding one person. The next day was Sunday, and apparently it was decided not to kill anyone on the Sabbath. On October 4, a Negro family was fired upon and escaped, but another Negro was less fortunate. A freedman was wounded October 5. Richard Pooser was forced to leave town and fired at on the sixth. On October 7, William Coker, E.S. Alderman, and Jack Myrick took a Negro, Matt Nickles, his wife and child from their home, killed them and threw the bodies in a lime sink [sinkhole]. In a letter dated October 11, Dickinson listed the casualties as seven freedmen killed and two wounded, but added a postscript. Another man, Samuel Fleishman, had just been found dead. Fleishman was murdered because he had reputedly sold arms to blacks and because he was believed to have favored Reconstruction. By February 1871, Dickinson knew of about seventy-five people who had been killed in Jackson County. Nine-tenths were blacks. Several others were driven from the county, and Dickinson himself was later killed."viii
Sheriff John W. King, a white man, attempting to maintain order, arrested William Coker and six other young white men for assault and battery with intent to kill. But when a mob decided to kill Sheriff King, he prudently left town. "Meanwhile Constable Rogers, 'with considerably more courage than judgment,' appeared in Marianna two days after Maggie McClellan's death and tried to hold an inquest into her death. However, 'marauding young Regulators' refused to allow the inquest to be held. Rogers, likely protected by a band of armed blacks, left town a few days later, leaving Marianna and Jackson County with no law enforcement officer who was not 'in hiding.'"ix After being informed of the situation, Governor Harrison Reed refused to send in help because there were too few federal soldiers available to him and he had no state forces except the militia which consisted of blacks. He thought sending them into Marianna would likely have resulted in outright race war. The state did nothing.
"On Jan. 26, 1870, Constable Rogers was murdered, probably by Regulators, though the details of the murder are unknown. One account said that he was 'arrested' by a (white) posse and was killed when he attempted to break arrest." x The Regulator named Jack Myrick left the county shortly after Roger's murder and settled in Texas. The Jackson County Minutes of the court for 1870 indicate that a "John L. Myrick" was charged with assault with intent to kill on March 8, 1870, and with resisting arrest on June 6, 1870. The charges were continued several times until August 12, 1871, when the Minute Book indicated "further capias—continued."xi It is believed that Constable Calvin Rogers was the first black law enforcement officer killed in the history of the state. In 1997 at the request of Jackson County Sheriff John P. McDaniel, Rogers's name was added to the National Law Enforcement Memorial in Washington, D.C.xii
The whites of Jackson County eventually prevailed. Some of the freedmen avoided death by giving up their rights. One former slave, Larry White, testified in 1871 that he was not being harassed because he had promised to quit voting. He said the whites seemed to excuse him after his promise saying, "Old Larry is a good nigger, they should all do like him." He reported that he had seen so many outrages against freedmen he decided to take the easy way and stop voting. Emanuel Fortune, a black politician who left Jackson County after his life had been threatened, believed the main purpose of the Klan was to weed out Republican leaders.xiii "By 1871, after Republican leaders had been either killed or driven away, and the freedmen were 'properly' subservient, violence declined in Jackson County, but not before at least 150 people had been murdered. Since the Jackson County War, a white woman wrote years later, 'we have had no serious trouble' with the Negroes."xiv
Although it declined after 1871, politically-inspired violence against blacks and Republicans continued until the Democrats regained control of the state. Even so, two blacks were lynched in 1882 as a direct attempt to intimidate post-Reconstruction era blacks, and in August of that year two African Americans who were active in the Republican Party, Charles Savage and Howard James Madison, were lynched. Joe Richardson concluded, "Violence declined in large part because in many counties white Republicans were either killed or driven away, and the Negroes were sufficiently cowed to offer little resistance to the Democrats. The period 1868 to 1871 witnessed a reign of lawlessness which the State government could not put down. All the outrages were not committed by the Klan, but such an extralegal organization, one supported by respectable white people, provided a cover for the brutal, the sadistic, and those who murdered and whipped without provocation. The period of lawlessness, night riders, ghostly figures, brutal murders, lynchings, whippings, terrorism, and execution of men, women, and children was the most disgraceful phase of Reconstruction."xv

Khrushchev's Thaw and National Identity in Soviet Azerbaijan, 1954–1959
Jamil Hasanli
On February 25, 1956, Soviet leader Nikita S. Khrushchev delivered the so-called "secret speech" in the Twentieth Party Congress of the CPSU in which he denounced Stalin's transgressions and the cult of personality around the deceased dictator. Replete with sharp criticism of the Terror of the late 1930s, the unpreparedness of the USSR for the Nazi invasion, numerous wartime blunders, and the deportation of various nationalities, the speech reverberated throughout the subordinate Soviet republics. For republics such as Azerbaijan, the speech was an unmistakable signal to readjust the entire political orientation and figure out ways to redefine governance in post-Stalin era. Previously frozen under the mortal threat of Stalinist persecution, various forms of national self-expression began to experience rapid revival under the Khrushchev thaw. Encouraged by the winds of change at the Center, the Azeris cautiously began to reclaim possession of their administrative domain. Among other local initiatives, the declaration of the Azerbaijani language as the official language was one step that stood out in its audacity, for it was not pre-arranged with the Kremlin and defied the modus operandi of the Soviet leadership. Somewhat reformist in his intentions yet ignorant of the non-Slavic peripheries, Mr. Khrushchev had not foreseen the scenarios that would unfold as a result of its new tone and the developments that would come to be interpreted as the rise of nationalism in the republics. Jamil Hasanli's research on 1950s' Azerbaijan sheds light on this watershed period in Soviet history while also furnishing the reader with a greater understanding of the root causes of the dissolution of the USSR.

Chapter Eight: Summer 1959: Moscow's Interference and Change of Leadership in Azerbaijan
As its title suggests, Jamil Hasanli's latest work will most likely appeal to two broad constituencies: those interested in the Khrushchev era of Soviet history and those with a focus on Azerbaijan or the wider Caucasus region. This book surely has more to offer to the latter of these two groups, though there should also be plenty to interest the former, too. This is clearly a book based upon meticulous research in the largely-untapped archives of Azerbaijan, and one which duly offers a number of interesting contributions to the emerging picture of the period in question…. With such a dearth of high quality scholarly literature on the history of Soviet Azerbaijan available in the English language—and most of that which does exist has been written by Hasanli—this is a particularly welcome addition to the field.
— Europe-Asia Studies
Jamil Hasanli is, by a clear distance, Azerbaijan's most distinguished historian. Yet again, his archival work and command of sources have delivered a fascinating and original text, this time a book covering a blank spot in the historiography of Azerbaijan: the period of the Khrushchev thaw. This book will be essential reading for anyone interested in the twentieth-century history of the Caucasus.
— Thomas de Waal, Carnegie Endowment for International Peace
In Khrushchev's Thaw and National Identity in Soviet Azerbaijan, 1954-1959, Azerbaijan's leading historian Jamil Hasanli provides a fascinating account of history unfolding at a time and in a place where history was thought to be frozen. Hasanli's path-breaking work uncovers the undercurrents of politics after Stalin in a Soviet borderland, and will be of immense interest to students of Soviet history, the Caucasus, and socialism and nationalism more broadly.
— Michael A. Reynolds, Princeton University
Jamil Hasanli's new book sheds light on a little-researched but pivotal period of Azerbaijani history, the 1950s, when political life and national consciousness were reawakened after the death of Stalin. Dr. Hasanli illustrates this reawakening by examining internal communist party debates over appointments and policies concerning Stalin's purge victims and survivors in literature and other arts. The book tells a fascinating story of national resilience, individual stories of personal integrity, survival, betrayal, and loss, and the struggle over policies. Hasanli places Azerbaijan in Soviet policy context and provides a powerful counter-example to the popular "nation building" thesis among scholars of Soviet nationalities policies.

There is no such thing as a perfect transition from resident to registrar. It is one of the scariest big jumps on the escalator (or treadmill) of medical career progression; a sudden leap in responsibility in which some thrive, and some flounder. Here are my 6 top tips to make it easier.
Be honest and humble. Whilst amazing that you have been deemed competent enough to step up, just remember your limits. You alone know your capabilities, and whilst stepping out of comfort zones is excellent for your growth as a doctor, it can put patients and careers at risk, so make sure you are well supported. Your boss should know what your comfort level is, be willing to support you with telephone or face to face advice, and help you debrief any issues in the morning after a night shift. Trust your 'spidey sense', feel free to say 'I don't know', and seek help early.
Delegate. If you have been a diligent junior, this comes as a shock. It is not possible to do it all yourself. Relinquish some control and let little, non-dangerous mistakes be made. An intern getting a cannula in after a few attempts is much better for their confidence and future than you jumping in when they fail once. Giving an empathic second year doctor you trust the opportunity to break bad news to a patient with whom they have rapport, is far more valuable to them and may be better for the patient than you taking over. Fully clerking a simple right lower lobe pneumonia – badly – because you are short on time and the department is ramping, may take away the teaching opportunity for a resident who has never appreciated those clinical signs before. So delegate, let others learn, and take on a more supportive role.
Support your team. Suddenly you have residents, interns and students to supervise. Don't let them have a bad moment and go to hide in the tea room all shift (it has happened to the best of us). Review their patients when able in order to build up trust (particularly whilst still learning to supervise), try to protect them from difficult referrals early on and don't ask them to do a job you wouldn't do yourself.
Look after your nursing and allied health colleagues. If you are liked, your life will be easier. If you listen to the nurses and address their concerns, the patients will be safer. Bring in snacks for the night shift, be a shoulder to cry on, or even give simple safe medical support to shift workers who are on nights and can't get in to their GP. (More often than not that advice is: go and see your GP.) Catch up regularly with your nursing team leader on shift as they are your saving grace, and will let you know if one of your team is struggling before you notice it yourself.
Be ready for handover. Time keeping and prioritisation is a skill in emergency medicine. To a certain extent, we do get judged on how tidy the department is in the morning, no matter how much people deny it. Quite simply, stable patients waiting to be seen afresh come 8am, is preferable to many patients half baked, requiring repetition of work by the morning team. Give yourself enough time before handover to run through the list, make sure jobs are completed (using your delegation skills), and ensure you have thought about disposition plans for every patient. The huge benefit of doing this is that you will leave on time – essential for a career with high burn out.
Finally, look after yourself. Sleep, eat, exercise and enjoy life outside of work. Have a mentor and talk through challenges with them. It is an exciting transition with exponential learning and increased job satisfaction. In the trickier times, just remember why you chose emergency medicine in the first place; that adrenaline rush in resus, the team camaraderie, and the warm glow of genuinely helping those who need it most.

Q: ¿ Como dar buena apariencia al formulario de mi web? Estoy tratando de crear un formulario de contacto el cual comparta la pantalla con mis datos personales: nombre, dirección, etc.
Osea mis datos a la izquierda y el formulario a la derecha, dejando margen entre ellos y a izquierda y derecha de ambos.
Una vez me mostraron ( Alvaro Montoro) como hacerlo con columnas, class="column col-md-8".
Pero no encuentro ni se la forma de hacerlo con este formulario que saque de una plantilla.
En mi código se ve que mis datos quedan abajo a la izquierda, no se si debo crearlos en forma de lista (
*
*
* ).
Dejo mi codigo por si pueden ayudarme.
@Flowen también me ayudo con la barra de redes sociales.
Gracias.
