Learning by Heart
bySarah M. McConkie | Oct. 04, 2010
"When I was born, the doctors said I had half a heart," says Paul Cardall. "And essentially, that was right."
Paul, who was born with congenital heart defect (CHD), says doctors didn't know if he had long to live. His tiny heart was missing the tricuspid valve (tricuspid atresia), a vital passageway that carries blood from the right atrium to the right ventricle. Without it, the heart cannot properly oxygenate blood for the rest of the body.
Cardall pulled through: when he was 22 hours old, doctors performed an open-heart surgery that allowed him to live. But everyone knew that his life—however long it would be—would be difficult.
"I knew my heart had problems, and that was always in the back of my mind," says Cardall. "But my parents used it as a teaching tool. I'd always get priesthood blessings before treatments, and we came to see it as a blessing God gave us."
Cardall's childhood was punctuated by constant cardiologist visits and surgeries. By the time he was 15, he'd had a walnut-sized blister removed from his heart, had undergone a Fontan procedure (reconstructive heart surgery that redirects blood directly from the right atrium to the pulmonary arteries), and had a pacemaker installed.
A Song of the Heart
Yet in the midst of all this, Cardall made a discovery: music. The death of a friend left him sad and troubled, but sitting at the family piano brought him solace. The gorgeous melodies he drew from the keys—although he'd only had a few months of piano instruction before quitting several years earlier—amazed his family. It was obvious that he had a gift.
By his late teens, he was playing at Nordstrom's and at The Roof Restaurant at Temple Square. Everywhere he played, listeners requested CDs of his songs, so he recorded an album. Shortly thereafter, bestselling author Richard Paul Evans heard it and asked him to compose a musical adaptation of The Christmas Box. His career took off from there, and he now has his own recording label, Stone Angel Music. Yet Cardall's CHD was always lurking somewhere in the background, and his fight was far from over.
In 2009, when Cardall's health was at its lowest, he released Sacred Piano. Of his 13 albums, he says that one is his favorite. "I put together some of the most meaningful things I had done up to that point, hoping it would be something I could leave behind. It could have been my 'last lecture' for everyone I left here."
Sacred Piano features the song "Gracie's Theme," which he wrote in honor of Gracie Gledhill, a little girl who suffered from CHD and died shortly after receiving her own heart transplant. "I was able to play 'Gracie's Theme' at her funeral," says Cardall. "It was a way for me to honor her and all the kids she represents. I think she represents all those children who are called home early."
Because of the unique nature of his heart defect, Cardall often received treatment in a pediatric unit where he was able to meet many "cardiac kids" like Gracie. "Being in that pediatric unit with so many little babies that had CHD was a beautiful thing. Not all of them make it, whether they get hearts or not, and that's hard. But being there was truly sacred."
Cardall isn't the only one who loves Sacred Piano: earlier this year, Cardall's "Sweet Escape," a song from the album, ranked number one on ReverbNation's global Christian/Gospel music chart.
Tragedy and Triumph
Throughout his musical successes, Cardall continued fighting CHD. Just over two years ago, doctors determined that his health had deteriorated to the point that a transplant was his only hope for long-term survival. His name went on the heart donor list. From there, all the Cardalls could do was wait. His wife, Lynette, and his 4-year-old daughter, Eden, cared for him and prayed for his heart each day—both for his slowly dying heart and for the heart that he would one day receive from a donor.
"My family gathered at one point to give me a blessing, and my dad talked about how 2009 would be a hard year, and how everyone would need to be there for me and Lynette," says Cardall. "Who would have known that a year later two men in that room—my brother Brian and my grandfather—would have died, and I would still be here?"
In June 2009, the Cardall family unexpectedly lost Paul's brother, Brian. In response to a bout of abnormal behavior attributed to Brian's bipolar disorder, Brian had been Tasered by a police officer. Brian died as a result.
"The irony of it," says Cardall, "was that I had [received] notice that I might not be around much longer, but that Brian died so suddenly, and in a way that could have been prevented had there been more training in the use of a weapon. It made me think about why I'm still here, and what a responsibility that is. I wanted to live for Eden—to see her grow up and be there for her."
Then, after 385 days on the waiting list, a miracle happened: the Cardalls received word that a suitable donor heart had become available. On September 9, 2009, doctors performed a successful heart transplant. Cardall had beaten the odds again.
These days, Cardall sees his cardiologist every three weeks and undergoes a heart biopsy every six weeks to ensure that his body doesn't reject the donated heart. He'll be on anti-rejection medication for the rest of his life. But his transplanted heart has done exceptionally well. In fact, he was even able to hike Mt. Olympus earlier this summer to commemorate the one-year anniversary of his brother Brian's death.
Over the course of his illness and recovery, Cardall posted to his blog, mytricuspidatresia.blogspot.com. Many of these blog posts, as well as additional thoughts and reflections on his past, have been compiled into a book entitled Before My Heart Stops. It will be available at Deseret Book on September 9, 2010. The book's release will mark the one-year anniversary of Cardall's heart transplant.
"Some people don't need this kind of experience, I think, but I almost wish more people could have an experience like mine. It changes how you think and how you live when you know that your time on earth may be limited."

If you are the victim of medical malpractice and want to seek compensation for your losses, you are likely wondering where you should turn to improve your odds of reaching your goal. Doctors and other medical professionals play a vital role in society, catching and treating diseases.
The efforts of the medical community have played a role in increasing the life expectancy and quality of life for countless people around the world. When medical experts make mistakes or fail to provide an adequate level of care, diseases can progress and get much worse than they otherwise would have.
You will learn common diseases that doctors fail to detect, the problems that come with it and how a medical malpractice attorney can give you a hand when you need it the most. There are many doctors in the areas of Seattle, Kirkland, Bellingham, and Olympia who are great at what they do and properly diagnose problems as they identify them, but there are some who do not and need to be held accountable for the mistakes they make.
Many deadly diseases and health hazards of the past are no longer a threat because of the advances in medical technology and diagnostic equipment. Catching a disease in the early stages not only reduces the damage, but it also makes treating the disease much easier.
Many patients enjoy speedy recoveries and get back to their daily lives in no time, and they move forward without giving it a second thought. If doctors or other medical professionals fail to spot the disease right away, it can get much worse over the long run. Some people face long-term complications as a result, but others die at the hands of medical mistakes.
In addition to experiencing medical problems, victims of malpractice can face severe financial fallout. A patient with a heart condition that goes undetected will face even more medical complications in the future. Addressing the additional damage is often costlier than treating the original condition in the early stages. Some malpractice victims must pay for ongoing therapy to recover, but that is only the start. Some malpractice cases cause complications that force the victim to take time away from work, which temporarily stops their income and further harms their budget.
The law looks at possible cases of medical malpractice from the perspective of the reasonable standard. In other words, they consider how a medical professional with the same training, education and experience would have handled the situation that allowed a disease to go unnoticed. Doctors who don't live up to the reasonable standard put their patients at risk for a range of problems, and the law holds them accountable for their actions or failure to act.
For example, a doctor runs routine tests and spots an issue that should prompt further evaluation of the patient. The doctor fails to order the additional tests, and the patient does not receive prompt care for an otherwise preventable condition. The doctor in this example can face a malpractice lawsuit if the patient learns of the problem and takes action.
Some doctors also fail to notice the signs of suicide, and people who could have otherwise been saved lose their lives along the way. A few doctors will even attempt treating conditions they are not qualified to handle instead of referring the patient to a specialist. That situation also opens the possibility of a medical malpractice lawsuit, and it's essential you know your rights.
Some people spend so much time considering their options that they miss their chance to pursue legal action. The law sets time constraints on medical malpractice cases, and you lose your right to seek compensation if you let the statute of limitations expire. If you don't want to fall into that trap, speaking with a medical malpractice attorney as soon as possible is the safest bet. Your attorney can help you decide how much time you have so that you don't lose your chance to pursue justice.
In this section, you discover what you must do to prove medical malpractice in front of a judge or jury, and this knowledge lets you decide what path is best for your situation. Criminal trials require the plaintiff to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that the defendant committed the crimes in question, but medical malpractice cases have a slightly lower standard, requiring you to prove beyond a preponderance of doubt. In simple terms, you need to show that the doctor likely committed malpractice and that it caused you to suffer losses.
Contacting a malpractice attorney for a consultation is the first step you will take in the legal process. If you and your lawyer are a good match and the lawyer believes in your case, your lawyer will file a medical malpractice claim. Your lawyer then gathers evidence to support your claim and works with the other party to share the evidence they intend to use at trial.
In most cases, the defendant will offer a settlement agreement to avoid going to trial. You and your lawyer will decide if you are happy with the agreement or if you should take your fight to the courtroom. If you decide to take your case to trial, your lawyer and the other party will argue the facts in front of the judge or jury. At the end of the case, the judge or jury will take some time to deliberate and reach a verdict. The decision the court makes determines if you can collect compensation for your injuries. The judge or jury can also award you less or more compensation than the amount for which you asked.
Having a skilled medical malpractice lawyer on your side gives you the highest odds of reaching the outcome for which you have been hoping. Not only does your lawyer know your rights, but your lawyer also knows the common tricks medical experts use to avoid liability. Having a caring legal expert in your corner is the only way to move forward if you want to reach your long-term goals.
While most medical experts do a wonderful job at saving lives and increasing the quality of life for those who trust them, not all people in the medical field live up to that standard. A medical professional who overlooks key warning signs or fails to order tests appropriate for the situation puts people's lives on the line, and that is unacceptable.

'Nation of Islam' Leader Farrakhan Declares Support for Iran's Nuclear Program, Says Because U.S. Ignored His Warnings, 'The Time for the Chastisement of Allah is Here'
The following are excerpts from an interview with Louis Farrakhan, leader of the "Nation of Islam", which aired on Al-Jazeera TV on March 18, 2007.
[these excerpts have been taken from the Jewish proganda site MEMRI]
"The Time for Warnings is Up"
Louis Farrakhan: "I believe that my teacher, Elijah Muhammad, came as a warning to America, on account of the evils that it committed for 400 years, against millions of black slaves. He came as a warning to America that its policies around the world will bring upon it the fate of ancient Egypt, Sodom and Gomorrah, ancient Babylon, and ancient Rome - that this was coming to America. I am an extension of Elijah Muhammad.
"When I said my time is up, I meant that warnings can't go on forever. I have warned President Bush, I have warned his government, I have warned his people, and I have warned my own people. The time for warnings is up, and the time for the chastisement of Allah is here."
Interviewer: "Mr. Farrakhan, are you still being accused of being antisemitic, and if that's so, by whom and why?"
Farrakhan: "Are you a Semite?"
Interviewer: "Yes, I'm Arab."
Farrakhan: "Am I against you? Am I against Muslims? No. Are the Jews that came out of Europe Semitic? Who are the Sephardic Jews? Are they Semitic? Am I against them? Who has segregated them and the Ethiopian Jews? Is it not the Europeans? The real antisemites are those who came out of Europe and settled in Palestine, and now they call themselves the true Jews, when in fact, they converted to Judaism."
Saddam Was No Threat to His Neighbors
Farrakhan: "Saddam Hussein had no weapons of mass destruction. He was no threat to his neighbors. If he were a lion, he had no teeth. His paws had no claws. He never shot down one American or British plane, which flew all over Iraq for twelve years. Iraq had lost its power to protect its own sovereign airspace. So when America went to war with Iraq, and called it 'Shock and Awe,' and used all these weapons against Iraq, it was committing murder, in order to get the oil of Iraq, to establish a democracy - that's lying and murder."
No Muslim Who Studies the Koran Would Bomb a Mosque - Where is the Hand of the Mossad and CIA?
Farrakhan: "It is anti-Islamic to bomb a mosque, so what Muslim who studies the Koran would bomb a mosque, whether he is Shi'ite, or Sunni, or Sufi, or Hanafi, or Hanbali? No Muslim would destroy even a synagogue, a monastery, or a church, much less bomb another mosque. Where is the hand of the Mossad in all of this? Where is the hand of the CIA in all of this? I didn't mis-describe the administration of the United States. They are liars, and they are murderers, and they are guilty of heinous crimes, and they should be removed, for they have violated the constitution of the United States of America, and have violated the peoples of the world."
"Iran Should Not Be Denied Human Right" to "Atomic Knowledge"; If It "Believes in the Power of Allah, It Can't be Frightened by America"
Farrakhan: "Iran should not be denied the human right to knowledge. Atomic knowledge should be in the arsenal of knowledge of every nation, and if Iran wants to use atomic knowledge for peaceful purposes, she's in accord with international law. But the fear of America is Iran's attitude to Israel, and the cornerstone of America's foreign policy is the protection of Israel. So they don't want Iran to have atomic knowledge. But Iran is saying: 'I'm going to get that knowledge. I'm going to use that knowledge, so that we will no longer be dependent on oil.' Now, America, of course, is a powerful bully. I heard Vice-President Cheney say that all options are on the table. They're not frightening Iran. If Iran believes in Allah, and if Iran believes in the power of Allah, Iran can't be frightened by America. You can't frighten a true Muslim."

Frazier Rehabilitation Institute earns three-year CARF accreditation
UofL Health – Frazier Rehabilitation Institute has again earned a three-year accreditation from the Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities (CARF). This important distinction sets Frazier Rehab Institute apart from our competitors and exemplifies our ongoing focus on quality, continuous improvement and innovation in patient care.
Recognizing the impact the current COVID-19 pandemic has had on organizations, CARF offered a virtual "bridge survey" process to organizations with a longstanding history of being fully accredited. Frazier Rehab Institute was the first organization to undergo this type of CARF survey on June 18. The result was a full re-accreditation of the general Comprehensive Integrated Inpatient Rehabilitation Program, the Spinal Cord System of Care for Inpatients and Outpatients, the Stroke Specialty Program and the Brain Injury Specialty Program for Inpatients and Outpatients. This full accreditation extends through February 2023.
Cathy Spalding, chief administrative officer for Frazier Rehab Institute shared, "Preparing for accreditation is a long and challenging process – especially during an organizational transition and a global pandemic! Not only did the team demonstrate Frazier Rehab Institute's continual commitment to raising the bar in rehabilitation care, but how the organization exceeds the highest standards of care on behalf of the very vulnerable population we serve."
Congratulations to the entire Frazier Rehab Institute team, and to all who participated in the preparations for the successful CARF survey.

Home Florida Daytona Florida's 'anti-riot' bill faces an uncertain fate in Senate where is not...
Florida's 'anti-riot' bill faces an uncertain fate in Senate where is not as popular.
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) — The Florida House on Friday approved a measure that would stiffen penalties against violent protesters, but momentum for the so-called 'anti-riot' bill could slow down considerably — maybe even come to a screeching halt, as lawmakers approach the midway point of their two-month session.
With the number of weeks left before the Legislature's schedule adjournment in the final week of April, lawmakers also are beginning to tackle the state budget with more urgency. Both the Senate and the House unveiled their spending plans in recent days, and budget writers from both chambers must now reconcile their versions with the requests put forward by Gov. Ron DeSantis.
DeSantis had initially proposed a $96.6 billion budget in January, but has since proposed $4.1 billion in additional spending after the federal government approved another pandemic relief package earlier this month.
But proposals like the anti-riot bill are consuming much of the air in the Florida statehouse this session.
While its official title refers to "Combating Public Disorder," most Democrats and other critics say the measure will have a chilling effect in how people exercise their constitutional rights to free speech and peaceful assembly.
The bill would increase penalties for crimes committed during a violent protest, and it would create new felonies for organizing or taking part in demonstrations that turn violent.
The measure could spawn an interesting dynamic in the state Senate, where it has yet to get a hearing. Its first stop will be the Criminal Justice Committee, and that committee is headed by a Democrat.
Republicans are in firm control of the Legislature, and Senate President Wilton Simpson appointed Sen. Jason Pizzo, a former Miami-Dade assistant state attorney, to head the influential committee.
The House passed the measure Friday, with the Republican majority arguing that the measure was needed to preserve law and order. Democrats asserted, however, that the bill was an attempt to quell the Black Lives Matter movement, which helped mobilize demonstrators and passions during months of unrest over a string of high-profile incidents involving the killing of Black people by police.
There are other bills to watch in the coming week.
Another House committee is taking up a proposal that would abolish the state's Constitution Revision Commission. The commission meets every 20 years to consider ballot measures to put before voters. Some Republicans say the commission isn't needed because the state already has an initiative process for citizens to place items on the ballot.
The Senate has already agreed to place the matter before voters. If the House agrees to do so, the measure would require 60% voter approval.
Separately, lawmakers are considering a proposal that would raise the passage requirement for all ballot measures, from 60% to at least two-thirds of those casting ballots.

The Waylanders' Roster Introduced
by Alex Fuller · March 31, 2020
Developer Gato Salvaje Studio provided a new update on its upcoming Celtic-inspired time-traveling RPG The Waylanders. The new information introduces the game's nine party members who travel with the player character as they switch between Celtic and medieval time periods.
The first character is Amergin, Master Druid of King Ith's court. He is bright and gifted at magic, known for his charm and wit. Distantly related to the king, he has little knowledge of the world outside and is often close-minded to differing ways of life. Second is Berath, an often-blunt immortal professor. Berath is passionate about crafting and cooking, with his combat prowess being using the bow. Unlike the other members of the Mourian race, who usually enjoy drama, Berath chooses to enjoy the smaller moments of light as he battles a depression that has lasted generations. Meanwhile, Delba is the youngest daughter of the Fomorian king, a race of much larger people than the rest of the world and living under the surface. Her mother disappeared on the surface and Delba has been obsessed with exploring the world above ground since. She is generally optimistic and amiable, working hard to ensure the Fomorians can return to the surface.
Herakliosis is a Greek mercenary in his early twenties obsessed with glory. This results in him ensuring every fight is as fair as possible and often intervening in situations where he isn't wanted. He is always willing to share his encyclopedic knowledge of Greek legends and myths, though often feels undeserving of praise. Khaldun is the eldest daughter of a noble family from the kingdom of Kush. She was sent to Egypt to study and is an omniglot with great knowledge of the Nubian and Egyptian pantheons, using necromantic powers she learnt in Egypt. She was sent to Brigantia (an ancient region that covers northern England) five years ago, but maintains her old clothing styles. Mal is a rogue in her mid-thirties with a love of violence. She has made this into a career killing monsters. She has a golden eye, with the story being that her Mourian husband saved her life by pouring magic-imbued gold into her eye socket. This has given her the ability to witness how a creature died by placing its eye into that socket.
Leading the last trio, Rea is a member of a werewolf clan that has been getting more lupine with each generation. Rea herself is the first member without the ability to speak, but she is still highly intelligent and empathetic. Her lack of ability to communicate her thoughts can lead to her lashing out. Brigg, at nearly fifty years old, is the oldest non-immortal party member. A former commander in King Ith's army, she supports her successor and protegeé Tiana as an advisor. Brigg is generally quite private and doesn't engage in many deep conversations. Finally, Trasté is a goblin from the coastal city of Aunes. The goblins don't really care about time, so their age is unknown, with the species are known for their pranks and not caring for the problems of people. Trasté is different in that respect and wishes they were a human rather than a goblin.
The Waylanders is being developed for PC and is set to be released on Steam Early Access in summer 2020. The game underwent a successful Kickstarter crowdfunding campaign in late 2018.

Return of the war powers of the United States ?? from the White House to Congress blocked in the Senate
Tuesday, June 22, 2021 – 08:38 UTC
Congress is trying to remove the power to declare war from the White House. President Biden and Senate Leader Chuck Schumer support repeal.
Republican senators are delaying an Upper House committee vote on the repeal of the 2002 Authorization for the Use of Military Force (AUMF), the alleged high-profile war powers that enabled war in Iraq and other military actions.
The Democratic-controlled Senate Foreign Relations Committee had scheduled to debate and vote on the repeal of the AUMF on Wednesday, but it was postponed after five members – Senators Mitt Romney, Mike Rounds, Marco Rubio , Ron Johnson and Bill Hagerty – requested a classified public hearing and briefing
We should fully assess the conditions on the ground, the implications of the 2002 AUMF repeal for our friends, and how adversaries – including ISIS and Iran-backed militia groups – would react ,? ? they said in a letter.
A bipartisan majority in the House of Representatives last week backed legislation to repeal the 2002 AUMF (268 to 161), as part of an ongoing effort in Congress to remove the power to declare war on the White House.
President Joe Biden and Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer support repeal.
The US Constitution gives Congress the power to declare war. Was this authority transferred to the president, however, due to the "Eternal War"? The AUMF, which does not expire – including the Iraqi AUMF of 2002 – adopted since September 11, 2001, are attacking.
Supporters of the repeal say it's time to curb the outdated authorities that presidents have used for a wide range of international military actions without congressional approval. Former President Donald Trump cited the 2002 AUMF in early 2020 as a justification for attacking an Iranian military commander at a Baghdad airport.
Opponents fear that repeal without first writing a replacement dangerously limits presidential powers and sends the message that the United States is withdrawing from the Middle East.
The panel scheduled a second business meeting for Thursday, although it was not yet certain that the AUMF would intervene then.

List Rules Vote up the members of Batman's rogues gallery you're weirdly thirsty for.
DC Comics has perfected the craft of creating intriguing female villains, arguably because their outlaws are often easy on the eyes. It's much more fun to read about Ivy's atrocities and Bane's back-breaking antics when writers are flaunting their characters' good looks. Although a few of Batman's rogues are infamous for their ugly mugs - Swamp Thing certainly could use a good grooming - some Dark Knight evildoers know how to turn on the charm.
Whether depicted on television, in film, or throughout the comics, the hottest Batman villains are notoriously fun to see doing bad things. If you've ever found yourself crushing on Talia al Ghul or Mr. Freeze, you're certainly not alone; of the hottest DC supervillains Batman's enemies are at the top of the charts.
Poison Ivy is a fictional DC Comics supervillainess who is primarily an enemy of Batman. Created by Robert Kanigher and Sheldon Moldoff, she made her first appearance in Batman #181. Poison Ivy is depicted as one of the world's most prominent eco-terrorists. She is obsessed with plants, botany, and environmentalism. She uses toxins from plants and mind controlling pheromones for her criminal activities, which are usually aimed at protecting the natural environment. Fellow villain Harley Quinn became her recurring partner-in-crime and her best friend. She has proven to be one of Batman's more powerful foes, being one of the few members of the Dark Knight's Rogues Gallery to display anything ...more on Wikipedia

Q: programmatically setting Bootstrap radio button text I am trying to set up a set of radio buttons using Bootstrap in javascript
The code I am trying is:
        var viewedFilterButtons = $("
").addClass("btn-group").attr("data-toggle", "buttons");
        viewedFilterButtons.append($("").addClass("btn").addClass("btn-primary").append($("<input>").attr("id", "viewed-important").attr("type","radio").attr("name","viewed-filter").attr("value","important").attr("autocomplete","off").append($("").text("Important"))));
        viewedFilterButtons.append($("").addClass("btn").addClass("btn-primary").append($("<input>").attr("id", "viewed").attr("type","radio").attr("name","viewed-filter").attr("value","viewed").attr("autocomplete","off").text("Reviewed")));

(note that I'm trying 2 different things to get the text into the button -- in the first input I'm embedding a label and in the second I'm just trying to set the text of the input.  Neither is working right now.)
This generates the following HTML:

    <input id="viewed-important" name="viewed-filter" value="important" autocomplete="off" type="radio">
      Important
    </input>

    <input id="viewed" name="viewed-filter" value="viewed" autocomplete="off" type="radio">Reviewed

Note that the input doesn't seem to be closed in the second case.  I'm getting this HTML from the Web Console Inspector in Firefox.
What I'm getting is a set of tiny radio buttons with no text.  The toggle behavior works fine.
What am I missing here?  When I manually generate a set of labels for radio buttons like this directly in the HTML it works fine.

    <input id="viewed" name="viewed-filter" value="viewed" autocomplete="off" type="radio">Reviewed</input>

A: This is because you append the  inside the <input/>.
You're trying to do this :
<input> Important </input>
However, <input/> is a self-closing tag, not a container like a
.
You should design your structure like this :
 <input/> Important

A: input elements cannot have children w3 specification. Put the label after it.

var viewedFilterButtons = $("#mainDiv").addClass("btn-group").attr("data-toggle", "buttons");

   var inputElem = $("<input>").attr("id", "viewed-important").attr("type","radio").attr("name","viewed-filter").attr("value","important").attr("autocomplete","off");

  viewedFilterButtons.append(inputElem)
                     .append($("").addClass("btn").addClass("btn-primary").text("Important"));

Q: JQuery call not hitting server on $.post I am trying to make a simple POST request to a server using Django. I can make the post call using another api client just to test it, but when using jquery it never return anything or shows the alert from the callback function. Below are my jquery and django code. I've replaced the api call but I know that it is correct.
$(document).ready(function(){
  $("#signInSubmit").click(function(){
    alert("Posting email: "+$("#email").val()+" guests: "+$("#guests").val());
    $.post("apicall",
    {
      'email':$("#email").val(),
      'guests':$("#guests").val(),
      'event':"1"
    },
    function(data,status) {
               alert("Data: " + data + "\nStatus: " + status);
    });
  });
});

And this is the django view getting hit:
@csrf_exempt
def participant_info(request):
    if request.method == 'GET':
        participant_email = request.GET.get('email')
        participant = Participant.objects.get(email = participant_email)

        #serialized_obj = serializers.serialize('json', [ participant, ])

        response = HttpResponse()
        response.content = serialized_obj = serializers.serialize('json', [ participant, ])
        response['Content-Type'] = 'application/json'
        return response

        #return HttpResponse(response, mimetype="application/json")

    if request.method == 'POST':
        participant_email = request.POST.get('email', '')
        numguests = request.POST.get('guests', '')
        eventid = request.POST.get('event', '')

        participantkey = Participant.objects.get(email = participant_email)
        eventkey = Event.objects.get(id=eventid)
        per = Participant_Event_Record(guests = numguests, event = eventkey, participant = participantkey)
        per.save()

        response = HttpResponse()
        response.content = serialized_obj = serializers.serialize('json', [ per, ])
        response['Content-Type'] = 'application/json'
        return response

A: Could be a couple things going on I think:

*

*Specify the content type in the jQuery call, make sure it says 'appliciation/json' (http://api.jquery.com/jQuery.ajax/) since you're serializing assuming it's JSON but it defaults to 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded'.

*Your POST url expects a / at the end of its URL, and you're posting to an endpoint without a /, which makes Django issue a redirect to the / URL. You can disable that by setting the APPEND_SLASH setting (https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.4/ref/settings/#append-slash), but really it's best to always call all endpoints with '/' at the end, so I'd say instead of posting with $.post("apicall", ...), try $.post("apicall/", ...) and see if that helps.
Otherwise, can you post the error that you get when you do try? both from the Django console and the Javascript console in Chrome?

A: Turns out it was wrapped in a form within the body of the HTML that I had not noticed. After removing the form wrapper it worked perfectly.

Spuckstoff ist der Teil, welcher bei der Papierproduktion nicht verwendet wird.
Eine wesentliche Rohstoffquelle in der Papierproduktion ist das eingesammelte Altpapier.
In der Papierfabrik wird das Altpapier mit einem Pulper oder einer Sortiertrommel aufgelöst.
Die papierfremden Materialien werden dabei abgelöst und aus dem Stoffstrom ausgeschieden.
Dabei werden dem Stoffstrom, je nach Verfahren und Qualität des Altpapiers, auch große Mengen an Papierfasern entzogen.
Neben Spuckstoffen fallen auch Deinkingschlämme und Zöpfe an.
Der Hauptanteil besteht aus Deinkingschlämmen, welche meist direkt verbrannt werden.

Zum Spuckstoff gehören vorrangig folgende Reststoffe:
 Heftklammern;
 Folien, Kunststoffe aus der Laminierung und Beschichtung;
 Textilien (z. B. Fäden der Buchbindung und vom Einband);
 Füll- oder Streichpigmente aus grafischen Papieren;
 Polystyrol und andere Kunststoffe aus Verpackungsmaterialien;
 Beschichtungsmaterialien (Lacke), Verbundstoffe;
 diverse Fremdstoffe, die falsch getrennt wurden;
 Sand;
 nassfeste Stippen;
 Papierfasern.

Das Altpapier wird üblicherweise in Ballen bei dem Papierwerk angeliefert. Die Ballen werden mit einer Ballenpresse erzeugt. Die gepressten Ballen werden mit Draht in der Form gehalten. Zöpfe bestehen zu ca. 50 % aus diesen durch die Rotationsbewegung des Pulpers verdrillten Metalldrähten. Der Rest besteht aus papierfremden Fraktionen, wie Kunststoffen, Metallen etc., die durch die Drähte aufgefangen werden.

Deinkingschlamm zählt nicht zu den Spuckstoffen, da er nicht durch die üblichen Sortierverfahren extrahiert werden kann.
Deinkingschlamm und Kleberreste sind lediglich durch chemische Separation und Flotation abtrennbar.

Spuckstoff ist zu 90 % Abfall. Der größte Teil wird verbrannt. Eine Deponierung ist seit 2005 in Deutschland nicht mehr möglich.

Bei Einsatz von haushaltsgesammeltem Altpapier ist der Anfall von Spuckstoff weitaus höher als bei Druckerei- und Fabrikrückläufen.
Der zunehmende Einsatz von Lacken in der Druckveredelung und die vermehrte Verwendung synthetischer Kleber in der Buchbinderei erhöhen den Spuckstoffanteil gegenüber dem vergleichbaren Roheinsatz oder Faserrückgewinn beträchtlich.

Rates reform on the way
Ministers expected to soften business rates impact
The Guardian reports that ministers are likely to take steps to ameliorate the impact on companies hit hardest by the shake-up in business rates. Communities secretary Sajid Javid is expected to announce today that he will take action to soften its implementation. Furthermore, the chancellor is now likely to use next month's Budget to lengthen the transitional period for companies that will face an increase in rates. However, it has emerged small firms could face a further 8% rise in business rates in two years" time, as new legislation will give elected Mayors the power to apply business rate "supplements" from April 2019. Writing in the Telegraph, Sam Bowman, executive director of the Adam Smith Institute, says the government should push ahead with its revaluation – "or replace rates altogether with something politically easier to manage." Meanwhile, David Smith in the Times suggests that a tax that leads to "increases that threaten the survival of those it is imposed on, is a tax that clearly does not work."

It's hard to take a break from laughing in this book – you'll need to step away from the book and distract yourself with some mundane task to let your stomach rest. Scott Douglas lets us in on his life as a librarian. It's not pretty at times, but in the end, it is rewarding.
It all started when Scott Douglas sees the ad "Do You Like Books?" He applies for the library job and begins work as a page in a small branch library, where one of his first duties is cutting paper. Although he is baffled by the librarian who doesn't have time to read, the patrons fascinate him. His image of what a library is and what is means to be a librarian changes, but he sees himself as part of that world. He applies for a grant and starts attending library school. While working towards his MLIS degree, he works as a library technician. During this time, the roles of a librarian expand for him as he sees how important libraries are in their communities.
A day at work is always unpredictable. The new Gateway PCs bring anguish to some workers but a sense of power to others. The free popcorn days attract droves of kids, but it also brings out Fred the Rat. On any day, patrons might utter death threats or words of praise. Some want to talk, while others only want to complain. The crazy days, the boring days, and the meaningful days are all recounted to entertain the reader and give us a little insight into the day to day life of a public librarian. Although Scott has more then his share of bad encounters with patrons and staff, he continues to work in a library, graduate with his degree, and move onto other branches. He helps move a branch that is closing down, then comes back to work there when it reopens. It's while working at this newly built branch, getting to know his community all over again, that his life changes. He sees himself as a librarian, and he falls in love.
The chapters are Dewey Decimal Numbers. Chapter one is 372.6 LIB, and the last is 643.7 LIB. Amusing footnotes are found on the bottom of almost every page, and every chapter has a break in the main text called "For Shelving." Both the footnotes and the "For Shelving" writings expand upon the main stories in the book. They fill in missing details or add a little background information to something referred to previously on the page. After being asked to read to a class of students in the library, one footnote reads "Years earlier I had worked as an after school child care substitute and read a story to about 10 kids; I was never asked to do it again. And once, I babysat a six-year-old who asked me to stop reading so he wouldn't have bad dreams." The "For Shelving" topics include small paragraphs on children's literature, popcorn, the library wall Scott Bug, and Web 2.0. In many cases, just when I had stopped laughing from an earlier paragraph, these extra bits of writing would start me laughing all over again.
Scott Douglas is a librarian working at a public library in Anaheim, California. A contributor to McSweeney's, Scott Douglas is engaged to a library assistant. His library inspired wedding invitations were posted February 7, 2008, inLibrary Journal's online blog, LJ Insider.

Can healthy, happy employees translate directly into benefits for a company's bottom line? It turns out they can, and not only is the correlation clear, it's getting clearer all the time as new research sheds light on the subject.
"Well" employees can mean a host of different things: Wellness means fewer colds and flus, so fewer days of absenteeism. But it also means employees who are in better shape, have more energy, are less likely to contract illnesses in the future, and are less susceptible to the bumps and stumbles that can sideline a worker for a few days or a month.
Wellness means less of the risks that come with poor sleep (bad judgement, accidents) and poor nutrition (deficiencies, obesity, diabetes). It means fewer mood swings, more resilience in the face of stress, and lower levels of depression. It means stronger relationships with others, greater levels of trust and communication, and a general workplace atmosphere of teamwork and accountability instead of hostility and tension.
How can "wellness" do all these things? Researchers are still working on teasing out the exact links between health and happiness, but the big picture is undeniable: When you feel better, you accomplish more. Your boat rises, and the boats of those around you rise as well. So, what small steps can managers take to boost wellness in the workplace? Try these.
When workers are sick (for any reason) send them home. If they have a cold, they're less likely to spread germs when they're elsewhere. At the same time, if they need a "mental health day," then they need one. Insisting on a doctor's note won't fix whatever ails an employee, but a day off can help. Consider shifting "sick" and "vacation" days to a single category of paid time off.
Teach proper behavior in group spaces.
Hold training sessions on proper sneezing (into the arm, not the hand) and proper hand-washing technique (sing the "happy birthday" song as you lather up). Sanitizer use, the office fridge and handshaking techniques — plus more — can be covered in a simple training that may save countless lost work hours.
Respect the impact of stress.
If you think you'll get more productivity out of employees by forcing them to spend more hours in the workplace, think again. Long hours don't translate into profits. Instead, they tend to translate into burnout, absenteeism, quarreling, mistakes and turnover.
Respect the impact of mistakes.
Sick employees make mistakes. Tired employees make mistakes. Burned out, injured, cranky and poorly nourished employees make mistakes. Anything that must be redone, undone, repaired or sent back to the drawing board can be measured in lost time and money.
Employee health is a personal responsibility, but it's a company responsibility also. Divide the burden by sharing it. To learn more, contact the team at Extension.

Donguibogam listed in UNESCO's Memory of the World Register
In 1596, King Seonjo ordered his physician Heo Jun to oversee the compilation of every piece of information related to medicinal herbs with a focus on Korea because the country relied only on Chinese references which mentioned plants often unavailable in the peninsula. The 25 volumes of Donguibogam (동의보감 or Principles and Practice of Eastern Medicine) were published in 1613, five years after Seonjo's death.
Today July 31st, 2009, almost four centuries later, and one year after its submission, the book kept in The National Library of Korea and The Academy of Korean Studies has been awarded inscription to UNESCO's Memory of the World Register.
Beyond its sometimes weird bits of traditional medicine wisdom, Dongui Bogam has been praised for its modern vision (see "Donguibogam: Principles and Practice of Eastern Medicine" on UNESCO portal) : "In terms of health care system, it developed the ideals of preventive medicine and public health care by the state, which was virtually an unprecedented idea up to the 19th century". Considering today's heated debate about health care in the US, one could even push that up to the 21th century...
Initiated in 1992, the UNESCO Memory of the World Program aims for preservation, documentation, and awareness of key documents. Donguibogam is Korea's 7th entry to a list of about 190 representing more than 80 countries. That's a lot, particularly when you compared with France (5), the UK (2), or the US (1).
But these figures tell more about each country's efficiency in submissions than about the size of their respective treasures. UK's Magna Carta joined the crowd only this year (submitted last year). It also seems to be a matter of what priorities are on each submitter's minds : USA is not represented by its Constitution but by a movie. Citizen Kane ? No : The Wizard of Oz. Go figure...
Korea's special role also appears in the UNESCO/Jikji Memory of the World Prize, named after what is undoubtedly one of the World's most important documents in history : Jikji, the first metal type printed book (1377, Guthenberg's 42-line Bible came much later, in 1455). Every other year since 2005 (year of Jikji's induction to the UNESCO list), the UNESCO Jikji Prize is awarded, along with USD 30,000, to "individuals or institutions that have made significant contributions to the preservation and accessibility of documentary heritage". First laureate : the National Library of the Czech Republic.
Note that the UNESCO/Jikji prize was created one year before the 120th anniversary of French-Korean diplomatic relationships, putting a gentle pressure on France for giving the only extant part of the book back to Korea, or at least making it more accessible to the public. The Baegun hwasang chorok buljo jikji simche yojeol volume II, or second volume of "Anthology of Great Buddhist Priests' Zen Teachings", is kept in the Bibliotheque Nationale de France. La BNF also holds part of Uigwe, but the bulk of the Royal Protocols of the Joseon Dynasty remains in Korea's Royal Libraries (Kyujanggak, Jangseogak). If you've ever been to Korea, you've probably already come across visual elements of Uigwe : many museographies and all costumed revivals of royal ceremonies tap into that ultimate blueprint.
So now you know at least 4 of the 7 Korean documents listed by the UNESCO :
- Donguibogam (listed in 2009)
- Jikji (listed in 2001 - the same year as Guthemberg's bible)
- Uigwe (listed in 2007), and
- Tripitaka Koreana (listed in 2007) : we mentioned that great marvel last year in our focus on "Haeinsa Temple Janggyeong Panja".
Another essential document is Hunminjeongeum (훈민정음 - listed in 1997, now in Gansong Art Museum), the code that set the Korean alphabet in 1446. Nowadays, bits of that fundamental text are used to decorate the fence protecting, on Gwanghwamun Square, the site where King Sejong's statue and information center will be erected. Does the name ring a bell ? We recently mentioned the Hunminjeongeum Society, a private initiative trying to promote hangul overseas (see "Hangeul lands in Bau-Bau, Indonesia... to save the Cia !").
If you intend to read the other two Korean entries in the register, take a big breath and make plans for a borgesian-size library :
- Joseonwangjosillok (조선왕조실록 or Annals of the Joseon Dynasty), listed in 1997 and preserved at Jeongjoksan Archive / Jeongjoksan Sagobon in Seoul, cover 472 years (1392-1863) in 1,893 books.
- Seungjeongwon Ilgi (승정원일기, or Diaries of the Royal Secretariat), listed in 2001 and kept at Kyujanggak and Seoul National University, deliver more crispy state secrets and many volumes have been lost for good, but that's still a collection of 3,243 diaries stretching over 288 years (1623-1910). Those diaries shouldn't threaten Bridget Jones' days on top of the bestseller list.
Korea does have a knack for written arts, and a long tradition of great respect for scholars over warriors. Still today, I'm sure there's something in the air (beyond the smog, that is). A good place to live if you love books.

Football (2016-2017)
Posted by: Jo Carter 23 March 2017
The MPW football team is a strong one. Many students have played at their previous schools and MPW training is well attended, meaning that this year's team are so far continuing the MPW trend for success. The boys won the Autumn and Spring Term Leagues, both with a match in hand.
In April, MPW will enter the CIFE tournament (2nd place last year and winners the two years prior to that) so we are hopeful of continued victory this year.
Fixtures, scores and match reports can be found below and will be updated as the academic year progresses.
MPW London 6 - 2 Duff Miller
A stunning second half comeback lifted MPW to the top of the table in an absorbing match at Burlington. MPW started slowly and were diving into challenges which let the opposition run through them and it almost seemed that Duffs had an extra player for most of the first half. It was no real surprise, then, that MPW found themselves two goals down within 15 minutes as Duffs took two chances well. The setback spurred a response from MPW, though, and a good spell of passing and movement brought a goal back. From the start of the second half, the general shape and movement of the team markedly improved and MPW had scored again before long – and again. At 3-2 the game became tight and toughly contested with both teams putting in the effort that last term saw them battling out at the top of the table. For the next ten minutes it looked like the game would go to the wire but then MPW began to find a fluency that equalled anything seen this academic year, whereas Duffs struggled to find an extra gear. Three more goals in quick succession saw MPW end the match victorious.
MPW London 2 - 1 Ashbourne
A much-changed MPW came away from Westway with all three points after a battling performance against Ashbourne. With the squad depleted by injuries and illness, MPW could only field seven players but the new-look line-up began brightly and the passing and movement of the midfield pair caused the Ashbourne defence problems from the start. After starting slowly, Ashbourne did grow into the game, but MPW always looked sharper, and seemed to win any fifty-fifty ball and after 10 minutes, MPW were one goal up. As the half-time whistle blew, MPW were firmly in control. The start of the second half saw the intensity of the game drop, and as legs tired, more gaps began to appear in the middle of the park. The rain was now lashing down, and passing and ball control became more challenging for both teams. The commitment from both teams did not drop though and MPW scored for a second time. At this point Ashbourne threw everything forward, and both teams began to lose their shape. With five minutes to play, Ashbourne were thrown a lifeline when an in swinging cross beat the MPW defence and was turned home well to make the score 2-1. A frantic finale ensued but MPW held on to their lead and now sit top of the table after three games.
MPW London 2 - 2 CATS
It was honours even at Burlington as MPW showed fighting spirit to snatch a draw from the jaws of defeat against an impressive CATS side. The MPW line-up had a new shape and the team started confidently but despite the promising start, after five minutes it was CATS who took the lead. MPW responded well but were not able to equalise and at the start of the second half, it was CATS who found the net again. Going two goals down seemed to spur MPW on, and neat passing between the midfielders started carving out opportunities to score. The breakthrough finally came with five minutes to play; a fierce direct free kick made the score 2-1. The goal triggered further MPW pressure and several chances. It looked like it was not going to happen for MPW but the pressure eventually paid off, as in the last move of the match the boys equalised.
MPW swept aside an understrength Duff Miller outfit last night in convincing style. MPW started with an extra man on the field compared to Duff Miller and exploited the added space to unpick the depleted Duff Miller defence. MPW opened the scoring with a firm shot beneath the keeper after three minutes, and doubled the advantage soon after. Another MPW goal followed and then against the run of play, Duff Miller were able to pull a goal back, making it 3-1. MPW kept their discipline and successive attacks were overwhelming the stretched Duff Miller midfield to breaking point. The game was put beyond our Queen's Gate neighbours as neat build-up play once more opened up the Duffs defence. With five minutes to go, MPW scored twice more, leaving no one in doubt as to the victors of the match.
MPW 2 – 1 DLD (friendly)
An impressive MPW edged an entertaining friendly between two well-matched teams at Burlington. Experimenting with a new formation and introducing some new personnel, MPW began brightly against a well-drilled DLD outfit from south London. MPW made an immediate impact, firing home a half volley from 20 yards out. It was not all one-way traffic though. DLD themselves looked threatening, and came close to equalizing, but were thwarted by some solid defensive work from the back two, and two decent saves by MPW. In the second half, DLD continued to look impressive going forward, especially moves that involved their inventive central midfielder. They found the equalizer within five minutes of the restart. MPW responded by continuing their neat passing game, and almost immediately regained the lead, but had a goal disallowed when the referee judged that the free kick had been taken before the whistle. But the lead was restored soon after. From then on, the game began to open up, and both teams found space in the middle of the park. The result bodes well for the remaining three league fixtures of the term, and the tournament at St George's Park later in the spring, a competition which DLD also travel to.
MPW 6 - 1 Ashbourne
MPW will retain their league crown after a thumping victory over Ashbourne on a mild night at Westway. Knowing a point was enough to secure the league title, MPW began confidently and soon began dictating play against a nervy Ashbourne side. In particular the midfield set up looked strong and it felt like a matter of time before MPW would open the scoring, which happened after five minutes. The lead was doubled when, after an awkward mix-up in the Ashbourne defence, MPW pounced to steal possession and tuck the ball home. The goal also cost Ashbourne a player, as a defender limped off, leaving them with only seven players as the half ended two-nil to MPW. The reduction in players proved pivotal, and the second half opened with three MPW goals in quick succession to kill the game. At 5-0 up, MPW were cruising, but spirited Ashbourne continued to press, and were able to find a consolation goal. The five goal advantage was soon restored though, as our forward capped a fine performance and completed his four goal haul by slotting home a rebound after a shot spun onto the post. The result means MPW have won both league competitions this academic year, and remain undefeated since last April.
MPW London won the League in the Autumn Term 2016! Congratulations to our team and read on for match reports.
MPW London P - P Lansdowne
To be rearranged
It was a clear night at Burlington Danes for a high-tempo start to the term. Duff Miller struck first but the introduction of Tooni on the right changed the game, and a darting run down the wing, pulled the ball back for Giacomo to hit first time for the equalizer. Serag then put MPW ahead with a fine diagonal run and top-corner strike. The second half started in similar fashion. Tooni nipped in to steal the ball from the Duff defence, and rounded the keeper to extend the MPW lead. However, Duff Miller did not give up, and two goals from set-pieces levelled the scores and set up a frantic finale. With three minutes to play, MPW looked to have won the game after excellent link-up play between Giacomo and Serag ended with Giacomo volleying home. However, with seconds left, a concentration lapse allowed Duff back in to score and take a deserved point.
Tuesday 4 October
MPW London 4 - 1 CIC
As high winds swirled around the Burlington pitches, MPW kept control and ran out comfortable winners against a disjointed CIC side. Early in the game, the blustery conditions made passing difficult for both teams, but MPW were quick to adapt, and the MPW midfield combined well to open up early chances which soon led to a goal. Moments later, Serag doubled the lead with a trademark left foot effort after a fine through ball from Rati. Serag then turned provider, teeing up Tomasso to score his first MPW goal and open up a three goal advantage. At this stage MPW were in full control, and CIC were being restricted to half chances, but the half did with a fine CIC strike which stand-in keeper Max could do nothing about. The second half began well for MPW, and the three goal lead was restored shortly after the restart. It was one-way traffic after that, and with the wind now in their faces, CIC did not look like scoring, until a late counter attack, which Rati thwarted with the final touch of the match.
Tuesday 11 October
Although the Ashbourne side started the game sharpest, MPW adapted well and our new defensive trio thwarted early Ashbourne attempts on goal. With ten minutes played, the game burst into life as Serag darted down the left and whipped in a cross which Siavash buried beyond the Ashbourne keeper. Unfortunately the MPW lead did not last, as a loose ball in the MPW goal mouth was struck well to level the scores. The equalizer did not dampen MPW spirits though, and the advantage was soon restored. Several other MPW chances came and went, and the Ashbourne keeper was beaten again on the stroke of half time as Francesco tucked the ball in. The second half was set up for an Ashbourne onslaught, and only strong defensive work from the back three, and some fine saves from our keeper denied them. Ashbourne were dominant in possession but could not find a way through. Counter attacking, MPW even had the chance to extend the lead, but the Ashbourne keeper was in good form in the second half.
MPW London 6 - 0 CATS College
MPW put in a solid team performance to run out comfortable winners as we enter the half term break. MPW started strongly and immediately imposed themselves on the game. Serag is flourishing in his new position of left back and it did not take long for him to open the scoring. CATS could have levelled seconds later, but their dubious penalty was struck against the crossbar. MPW kept their composure, and Serag then added another almost identical goal to extend the lead. Tomasso then added his name to the scoresheet. Soon after, Serag completed his hat-trick with another marauding run and shot.The second half was played out in very similar fashion to the first. To round off a successful evening, MPW kept their first clean sheet of the season, as Darius held on well to a well-struck long-range effort from CATS in the final moment of the match.
Tuesday 1st November
MPW London 7 - 0 Lansdowne College
An outstanding display gave MPW their biggest win of the season as they overwhelmed Lansdowne under the autumn leaves of Burlington. MPW began the game at a high tempo, and within three minutes had the lead which was soon doubled by Siavash. MPW continued to threaten the Lansdowne keeper, and the first half ended with a third goal. The second half began in similar ruthless fashion, and MPW piled on the pressure from the outset; the lead was extended soon as Siavash kept his composure to complete a fine hat-trick. At this stage Lansdowne were playing very deep and offering very little going forward, but our keeper still had work to do, and pulled off a fine save from point-blank range after a rare Lansdowne counter attack. At the other end, MPW kept up the pressure, and three more players added their names to the scoresheet to finish 7 goals up.
Tuesday 8th November
MPW took all three points in a stunning comeback against Queen's Gate neighbours Duff Miller. After some nervy opening exchanges, Duff Miller found their feet first and their rhythm first. MPW responded well though, and carved out two good efforts on goal, both the result of good build-up play from Rati. The equalizer soon came, as Max found himself in the final third and hit a bouncing shot which the Duffs keeper could not deal with. On the stroke of half time Darius made a superb save to stop a Duffs free kick destined for the top-corner. In search of an equalizer, Duff Miller began the second half by pushing forward with greater urgency but they were again thwarted by our goalkeeper. With ten minutes to play Nikita scored his second and doubled the lead with a well-taken goal. Duff Miller's heads began to drop, and MPW continued to play the ball around the park with two further goals. The result saw MPW leapfrog Duff Miller at the top of the league.

CIC 0 - 10 MPW London
Ruthless MPW comprehensively defeated bottom of the table CIC on a wet night at Burlington. The game burst into life after five minutes though and MPW took the lead which was soon doubled as Nikita fired a volley beyond the outstretched CIC keeper. From then on, it was one-way traffic. With the MPW back three in good form, CIC were unable carve out any meaningful chances on goal. With the game beyond Chelsea's reach, MPW experimented with a change in formation for the second half, with a two man defence behind a midfield four. The switch paid off as five minutes in MPW made it seven-nil. CIC continued to search for a way back into the game but MPW's accuracy in passing and dynamism in midfield really showed. With ten minutes left, MPW scored three more goals and took home a very comfortable victory.

Ashbourne 0 - 2 MPW London
MPW took a big step towards regaining the league title after grinding out a hard-fought victory against a determined Ashbourne. MPW started with a new-look 2-4-1 formation. The packed midfield, coupled with Ashbourne's narrow style, meant the game began as a frantic affair, with neither side able to forge any meaningful chances on goal. The second period began in similar tight fashion but Ashbourne, desperate to prove a point after a disappointing autumn, threw everything at MPW but could not find a way through. As the half wore on, space opened up, and really allowed the MPW midfield to click into gear. Good movement between MPW players started to cause the Ashbourne defence real problems. Pressure was building, and with ten minutes to play a fine MPW strike made it one-nil. An MPW player then sprinted out of defence, ghosted passed two defenders and buried the ball in the net to settle the game. Ashbourne continued to press but could not find a way through. The game ended 2-0 as MPW edge closer to the league title.
An impressive performance saw MPW clinch the league title in an energetic contest on a cold night at Burlington. Neither team was able to find a foothold in the early stages of the match, as the crowded CATS defence did not allow MPW much time on the ball. The game burst into life after ten minutes with a goal from MPW. CATS responded by upping the tempo and after a few attempts managed to find an equalizer. At half-time MPW switched to a 3-3-1 formation, and the tactic paid off shortly after the restart. Following good build-up, MPW won a freekick resulting in a goal and very quickly a second, making it 3-1. CATS continued to press and created further chances, but poor finishing cost them, and with five minutes remaining MPW scored again and secured the winter league with one game to spare.

Even after admitting that this is not the case, Boris continued to use the £350m per week figure to mislead the public into voting Leave.
Moments after the referendum results were announced, the Pound and the markets dropped harder than Skrillex's career and we're still not done.
The referendum may never have been about racism or bigotry, but it certainly emboldened racists and bigots. See @PostRefRacism on Twitter.
There is no plan, according to one Brexit campaigner.
The referendum triggered a massive shadow cabinet reshuffle, with many senior officials leaving.
The UK may stay in the single market... provided it accepts the EU rules without having a say over them.
We want to create a comprehensive archive of how the referendum result and the potential Brexit impacts people, and how this result came into being.
We need more. We are looking for stories about how Boris Johonson or the Brexit in general affected you negatively, as well as ways in which he may have misled the public into voting to leave the European Union. Over the coming days and weeks, we will be working on a way for you to submit your own personal post-Brexit story.
