Stephen Cuthbert Vivian Dodgson (17 March 192413 April 2013) was a British composer and broadcaster. Dodgson's prolific musical output covered most genres, ranging from opera and large-scale orchestral music to chamber and instrumental music, as well as choral works and song. Three instruments to which he dedicated particular attention were the guitar, harpsichord and recorder. He wrote in a mainly tonal, although sometimes unconventional, idiom. Some of his works use unusual combinations of instruments.

Biography
Stephen Dodgson was born in Chelsea, London in 1924, the third child of John Arthur Dodgson, who was a symbolist painter and nephew of Campbell Dodgson, and his wife, who was born Margaret Valentine Pease and also an artist. He was distant cousin of Lewis Carroll. He was educated at Berkhamsted School in Hertfordshire and at Stowe School in Buckinghamshire. In 1942, he was conscripted into the Royal Navy and took part in anti-submarine warfare escorting convoys in the Battle of the Atlantic.

On returning to London, he studied composition privately for a year with Bernard Stevens before enrolling at the Royal College of Music in 1946, officially to study the horn (under Frank Probyn), but in practice he was able to focus on composition under the guidance of R. O. Morris, Patrick Hadley and Antony Hopkins. While Morris instilled an interest in counterpoint and music from past centuries, such as that of the madrigalist Thomas Morley, Hadley and Hopkins provided more practical tuition.

Dodgson's early compositions won several prizes, including the Cobbett Memorial Prize for a Fantasy String Quartet (1948) and two Royal Philharmonic Society prizes: for his Variations for Orchestra (1949) and the Symphony in E Flat (1953). In 1949, he also won an Octavia travelling scholarship, which sent him to Rome. After returning to London in the spring of 1950, his music increasingly attracted performances and broadcasts by prominent players (including flautist Geoffrey Gilbert, oboist Evelyn Barbirolli, harpist Maria Korchinska, violinist Neville Marriner, violist Watson Forbes, the Philip Jones Brass Ensemble), and conductors such as Leslie Woodgate, Paul Steinitz and the composer Gerald Finzi. After initially making a living with teaching work in schools and colleges, in 1956 Dodgson was able to return to the Royal College of Music in a teaching capacity (where he also conducted the junior orchestra). In 1965 he was appointed professor of composition and music theory, a post he held until his retirement in 1982.

Two of the instruments which held special places in Dodgson's were the guitar and the harpsichord. His introduction to harpsichord writing came through one of the instrument's first twentieth-century exponents, the Czech player and musicologist, Stanislav Heller. In 1959, four years after writing his first pieces for the instrument he married Jane Clark, herself a harpsichordist and an authority on François Couperin. His wife fostered an increasing fascination with early and Baroque music.

He first came to write for the guitar—an instrument with which Dodgson is perhaps especially associated—in the early 1950s when Alexis Chesnakov, a Russian actor exiled in Britain, requested some folksong settings. Although Dodgson lacked any practical knowledge of the instrument, by the time of his Guitar Concerto No 1, completed in 1956, he had come to write for it idiomatically. This concerto was written for Julian Bream, but in his absence it was premiered by a 17-year-old John Williams (with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra conducted by Walter Goehr), for whom he later wrote the Guitar Concerto No 2 (1972).

From 1957 onwards, he broadcast regularly on BBC Radio and wrote the music for many radio plays, often (from 1961 onwards) in friendly collaboration with the producer Raymond Raikes. In 1986 he became chairman of the National Youth Wind Orchestra of Great Britain, for which he wrote several pieces.

Recorder player John Turner remembers him as "Enthusiastic, ebullient and quick-witted... extremely voluble, with a strong, distinctive voice, an ever-present smile, much old-world courtesy, and an idiosyncratic gait."

Stephen Dodgson died on 13 April 2013, aged 89. He is said to have remained remarkably active until the last few months of his life.

Music
Dodgson's musical output covers most genres, ranging from opera, large-scale orchestral music and wind-band works to chamber and instrumental music, along with choral works and song. He deployed an unusually wide variety of solo instruments. One of the few recent composers to write idiomatically for the harpsichord, clavichord and harp, he may be the first since the eighteenth century to have written for baryton trio. He wrote concertos for instruments ranging from the viola da gamba to the bass trombone. Three instruments to which he dedicated particular attention were the guitar, harpsichord and recorder, and one of his works, High Barbaree (1999), is actually scored for all three.

Guitarists who had works dedicated to them by Dodgson include Julian Bream, Gabriel Estarellas, Angelo Gilardino, Nicola Hall, John Williams, the Eden-Stell Duo and the Fragnito-Matarazzo Duo. In addition to a large number of solo works, among which are six virtuoso piano sonatas, this includes ensemble pieces and two concertos. Dodgson also composed duet concertos for two guitars and strings, and for violin, guitar and strings. His works for the guitar call on many different instrumental combinations, ranging from two, three and four guitars to use of massed guitars with and without accompaniments. His contribution to the core solo guitar repertoire includes four well-known Partitas and a popular set of Fantasy-Divisions.

Dodgson's first work for harpsichord, a set of Six Inventions, was written in 1955. Influenced by his wife Jane's scholarly and practical interest in the history of the instrument, he produced a further four sets of Inventions for harpsichord, dating from 1961, 1970, 1985 and 1993, a series of 30 pieces that charts a musical course from the early twentieth-century metal-framed instruments to replicas of antique instruments, with the introduction of stylistic features derived from historically informed performance practice.

Dodgson's many contributions to the recorder repertoire include "Shine and Shade", a jazzy virtuoso piece from 1975, written for one of his students, the composer Richard Harvey. Material from Dodgson's incidental music for a 1970 BBC radio production of a John Ford play, Perkin Warbeck, in which David Munrow had played the recorder enthusiastically, re-emerged in 1972 in a follow-up work called Warbeck Dances for recorder and harpsichord. His later works for the instrument include the Concerto Chacony (2000) with string orchestra, and a Capriccio Concertante No. 2 (2005) for the unusual combination of recorder, harpsichord and string orchestra.

Dodgson loved the theatre and wrote both for the stage and for many BBC drama productions (see Incidental music). His one full-scale opera, Margaret Catchpole – Two Worlds Apart, is in four acts and features a heroine who has been dubbed a "female Dick Turpin". His two chamber operas, the farcical Cadilly and Nancy the Waterman, were first performed with puppets (at the Purcell Room in 1969) and have also been fully staged (in St Albans in 2002 and 2007).

His music for wind band includes a four-movement Wind Symphony (1974). His orchestral output features a set of nine Essays for orchestra (five of which were recorded on a Dutton CD by the Royal Scottish National Orchestra under David Lloyd Jones), each lasting around a quarter of an hour, in which Dodgson says he aimed "to treat the orchestra boldly, as an integrated body and with ideas concentrated and unified more than contrasted", in keeping with Francis Bacon's conception of the essay as "dispersed meditations". Other commercial recordings of cycles of Dodgson's works include the seven piano sonatas played by Bernard Roberts and the eight string quartets performed by the Tippett String Quartet.

Style
In The Oxford Companion to Music, Paul Griffiths notes that Dodgson "proved adept at producing likable, well-crafted music to order, often for unusual chamber ensembles." The critic Guy Rickards has summarized his style as follows: "Dodgson's music is written mostly in an agreeable if occasionally challenging modern tonal idiom, cosmopolitan rather than overtly British in style, influenced by early and Baroque music and Janáček as much as English pastoralism... His mature style was one of refinement, sitting somewhere between post-Romanticism and neo-classicism, but individual works often had quirky, even spectral sides to them."

The Clinical Applications of Functional Profiling CSRA: Lung Cancer
Lung cancer, with 215,000 new diagnoses and 162,000 deaths in the United States each year, represents the leading cause in cancer death in the US. Average response rates of 30 percent and median survivals of 12 months remain static over decades. The five-year survival of 15 percent for this disease has not changed in 50 years.
While better surgical techniques and the introduction of new drugs have improved the one-year survival from 35 percent to 41 percent in the last 20 years, this has not had a major impact on overall survival.
Few diseases offer the opportunity to meaningfully improve cancer survival like lung cancer. A 25 percent improvement in survival in lung cancer would be the numerical equivalent of curing breast cancers outright. Recognizing this opportunity, we have made lung cancer a principal focus of the functional profiling platform. Our current IRB approved clinical protocol in non-small cell lung cancer applies our functional profiling platform to select from among the commercially available FDA approved compendium listed drugs, in metastatic non-small cell lung cancer. The results of our study have been submitted to national meetings. To date, our approach has more than doubled the objective response rate to 69 percent, improved the time to progression, provided over one-third of our stage IV patients the capacity to undergo definitive radiation or surgery, and extended the lives of some stage IV patients to five or more years. By exploring the first line use of the newer targeted agents, many patients are achieving durable responses without ever being exposed to classic chemotherapeutic drugs. It is our intent to make these laboratory analyses available to all newly diagnosed and relapsed lung cancer patients.

About Dr. Robert A. Nagourney
Dr. Nagourney received his undergraduate degree in chemistry from Boston University and his doctor of medicine at McGill University in Montreal, where he was a University Scholar. After a residency in internal medicine at the University of California, Irvine, he went on to complete fellowship training in medical oncology at Georgetown University, as well as in hematology at the Scripps Institute in La Jolla. During his fellowship at Georgetown University, Dr. Nagourney confronted aggressive malignancies for which the standard therapies remained mostly ineffective. No matter what he did, all of his patients died. While he found this "standard of care" to be unacceptable, it inspired him to return to the laboratory where he eventually developed "personalized cancer therapy." In 1986, Dr. Nagourney, along with colleague Larry Weisenthal, MD, PhD, received a Phase I grant from a federally funded program and launched Oncotech, Inc. They began conducting experiments to prove that human tumors resistant to chemotherapeutics could be re-sensitized by pre-incubation with calcium channel blockers, glutathione depletors and protein kinase C inhibitors. The original research was a success. Oncotech grew with financial backing from investors who ultimately changed the direction of the company's research. The changes proved untenable to Dr. Nagourney and in 1991, he left the company he co-founded. He then returned to the laboratory, and developed the Ex-vivo Analysis - Programmed Cell Death ® (EVA-PCD) test to identify the treatments that would induce programmed cell death, or "apoptosis." He soon took a position as Director of Experimental Therapeutics at the Cancer Institute of Long Beach Memorial Medical Center. His primary research project during this time was chronic lymphocytic leukemia. He remained in this position until the basic research program funding was cut, at which time he founded Rational Therapeutics in 1995. It is here where the EVA-PCD test is used to identity the drug, combinations of drugs or targeted therapies that will kill a patient's tumor - thus providing patients with truly personalized cancer treatment plans. With the desire to change how cancer care is delivered, he became Medical Director of the Todd Cancer Institute at Long Beach Memorial in 2003. In 2008, he returned to Rational Therapeutics full time to rededicate his time and expertise to expand the research opportunities available through the laboratory. He is a frequently invited lecturer for numerous professional organizations and universities, and has served as a reviewer and on the editorial boards of several journals including Clinical Cancer Research, British Journal of Cancer, Gynecologic Oncology, Cancer Research and the Journal of Medicinal Food.

Are You Ready for Monsanto's $1 Billion Herbicide Factory?
A controversial launch of seeds containing a new genetic trait is unlikely to slow the momentum building for dicamba demand. Monsanto is uniquely positioned to benefit from both genetic traits and herbicide sales.
Hugh Grant, the CEO of Monsanto (NYSE:MON), recently updated investors on ongoing potential merger and acquisition discussions with industry peers by simply saying, "It's clear that Monsanto remains the partner of choice in this industry." I don't think the company should sell itself for just that reason. Compared to industry peers, Monsanto has the pipeline with the most potential and growth projects. To top it all off, MON has the most near-term benefits for shareholders.
One of these near-term growth drivers that investors should have on their radar is a manufacturing facility in Luling, Louisiana, where Monsanto is investing $975 million to become a leading producer of the herbicide dicamba. While the entire industry currently produces enough dicamba every year to cover about 40 million acres of farmland, the manufacturing facility in Luling will boast an annual production capacity covering between 80 million and 100 million acres of farmland. Some of the production will be sold to DuPont (NYSE:DD) for its proprietary herbicide formulations, while the remaining capacity will be sold under Monsanto herbicide brands.
In other words, the planned herbicide factory is kind of a big deal.
Dicamba is not a new herbicide by any means. In fact, it has been used to control broadleaf weeds in the United States since 1967. But the herbicide is on the cusp of a renaissance as agrochemical companies aim to deliver new weed control solutions into the hands of farmers dealing with increased tolerance to the most widely used herbicide, glyphosate. While weeds were developing tolerance to herbicides long before the introduction of genetically modified seeds, the near-ubiquitous use of agricultural biotechnology in major crops has increased selective pressures for such traits to develop. The industry's answer: more agricultural biotechnology.
Note: Herbicide performance reported under agricultural productivity segment. Data source: SEC filings.
Given the rise in glyphosate-tolerant weeds, Monsanto has also been quietly developing genetic traits that allow major crops to tolerate applications of dicamba (and new herbicide formulations that go hand-in-hand with the new traits). Investors already know how this will play out: direct seed sales under brands marketed by the company and traits licensed to industry peers.
But there's a slight twist to how the genetic trait for dicamba tolerance, called Xtend, is being deployed. Rather than being rolled out as a separate technology platform, Monsanto is viewing it as an upgrade to its existing Roundup Ready technology platform. That means, simply, the company is selling seeds that tolerate both glyphosate and dicamba herbicide applications -- marking the first commercially available stacked trait (two or more traits in the same seed) for herbicides.
Soybeans are the first crop to include the Xtend trait, which Monsanto is selling as a stacked trait under the Roundup Ready 2 Xtend brand. There are currently roughly 1 million acres of the crop deployed in the United States today, although the company expects market penetration to grow to 15 million acres in 2017 and 55 million acres in 2019, with a total estimated market opportunity of 80 million acres.
Similar to the Roundup technology platform, Monsanto will sell both proprietary seeds and herbicides to offer a complete set of solutions for farmers. The company's Roundup Xtend VaporGrip and Xtendimax VaporGrip herbicides are formulations of both glyphosate and dicamba, which will be sourced from external dicamba supplies until the new manufacturing facility begins operations. At that point management expects the Roundup Ready Xtend crop system to deliver at least 30% returns. The dicamba factory will supply up to 35% of total industry demand. While the new herbicides are designed to not travel by wind -- so as not to affect neighboring farms -- they are also awaiting EPA approval.
Monsanto has also been active in licensing the Xtend trait to industry peers. A much-heated legal dispute with DuPont ended in 2013 with the company agreeing to pay Monsanto at least $1.75 billion through 2017 to license certain technologies including Xtend. DuPont will then pay royalties on sales of seeds containing the Xtend trait beginning in 2018. And, as mentioned in the introduction, DuPont has also agreed to purchase some of the output from Monsanto's future dicamba manufacturing facility for its own proprietary herbicide mixture branded DuPont FeXapan herbicide plus VaporGrip Technology.
While the Roundup crop system catapulted Monsanto to the forefront of the industry, the Roundup Ready 2 Xtend crop system can allow it maintain both its leadership position and growth. That is even more likely after a competing dicamba trait and herbicide system developed by Dow Chemical was nearly universally shunned by industry peers in favor of Monsanto's platform. It later ran into regulatory issues that will further delay its commercialization and use -- giving Monsanto even more time to capture market share for dicamba crop systems and marking the equivalent of a knockout punch for Dow.
A combination of farmer needs to respond to glyphosate tolerant weeds and advances in agricultural biotechnology support the need for Roundup Ready 2 Xtend crops. Monsanto's R&D labs and its new dicamba manufacturing facility have made it possible. Despite the controversy surrounding the launch of new seeds, the platform should create tremendous value for farmers and the company.

licensure by the state in which they operate.
State licensure standards, generally, have followed Federal certification standards, and state personnel perform the vast majority of surveys - simultaneously assessing compliance with both licensure and certification requirements. The Federal government also provides training for state surveyors and periodically conducts inspections with federal surveyors as a check on the performance of state surveyors. These are called FOSS surveys (Federal Oversight and Support Surveys). Compliance with the survey process and requirements established by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) and published in the State Operations Manual (SOM) is the primary regulatory focus for nursing facilities and consultant pharmacists.
The information contained in this section applies to both the skilled nursing facility (SNF) and the nursing facility (NF) categories of facilities. (See Glossary located in Appendix A of SOM for definitions of these categories.) Not only will these standards be reviewed during the facility's annual survey, but they may also be reviewed during any inspection resulting from a complaint against the facility. Furthermore, any deficiency cited against the facility will result in regulatory and/or monetary penalties to the facility, will become a part of the public record about the facility, and may reflect poorly on the providers and facility.
The SOM has multiple components and sections. Appendices P, PP, and R of the SOM are the three appendices related to the nursing home setting.
For some of the recently revised Tags, CMS includes additional guidance to surveyors related to deficiencies for that particular Tag, namely deficiency categorization and severity guidance.
For example, SOM Appendix PP contains CFR Section 483.60 dealing with the standards for providing pharmacy services to a long-term care nursing facility. This section of the regulations is divided into three F-Tags: F-425, F-428, and F-431. The "F" preceding the term "Tag" indicates that the section pertains to long-term care facilities and can be found in Appendix PP. Each SOM Appendix has its own Tag designation (e.g., W-Tags for ICFs, G-Tags for Home Health Agencies, etc.). When a survey identifies a deficient practice and non-compliance with the regulations and guidelines, the surveyor must name the specific Tag under which the deficient practice falls. This is how the citation is officially classified and documented.
It is important for the consultant pharmacist to understand all regulations and interpretive guidelines applied to these facilities, especially those that relate specifically to pharmacy.
It is a car tag used in Australia to easily and quickly pay for driving on toll roads. Thanks for-ing!

attended 1 writing retreat – Big Sur!!!
I love deadlines. I need deadlines. It truly pains me to miss deadlines. I need 12X12 to push me to write monthly drafts, even if I never intend to revisit those drafts again. I need a critique group to keep me on task and productive each month, even if I have no new work to share. And I need self-imposed goals like writing daily, even if it is for a mere 5 minutes.
I am more creative when I write daily. In 2017 I attempted to write each and every day – daily reflections, a poem, character interviews, 60-second prompts, anything. Though I did not fully achieve this goal, I did feel a boost in creativity, which led to stronger revisions.
I am an AM writer and reflector. I need time to myself each morning to write, reflect, and prepare for the day. Carving out time for myself in the morning allows me to be present with my family the rest of the day. Now that my son is *mostly* sleeping through the night and I am catching up on long lost sleep, it is time to set that early morning alarm again … or is it?
I need to rethink optimal writing conditions. I envision myself waking early, writing at the breakfast nook, drawing inspiration from the birds chirping and the dawn painted sky, while I feverishly write. But the reality is, I don't have a breakfast nook table and I can't control my children's sleep. Early morning productivity is not an option at this time. I need to fit writing into the schedule the children's sleep dictates, which may be a 2-3 hour window after they go to bed. I am finding this to be easier said, than done. More on this soon.
I need to adjust my writing expectations. There is no balance between writing and family. At this point in my life with my kids so young, the scale is tipped toward family. I am shifting my writing expectations and daily priorities so I can appreciate the writing time I do get AND not stress about the writing time I do not get.
I love bullet journaling and have no idea how I survived without it for so long! It is an amazing tool to stay organized and focused, and I plan to continue using my low maintenance, not-at-all-pretty version of this practice. Check out Kate Messner's post on bullet journaling for writers.
I struggled with goals this year. I want them. I need them. But, I also want to give myself the flexibility to adjust my goals throughout the year based on what I need. I don't want to specify a number of picture books to read, webinars to attend, queries to submit, or reviews to write. My priority is establishing new writing routines so I can get back to the writing, specifically, new drafts that excite me, rewrites to breakthrough revision slumps, and exercises and prompts to spark creativity.
Write daily & establish new writing routines to make writing a priority.
Read picture books and chapter books.
Write an Amazon review most Tuesdays #ReviewsDay.
Participate in 12X12 and write 12 drafts.
Publish 1 blog post monthly – explore author study interviews and writing exercises.
Join another critique group for accountability or build new critique partner connections.
Participate in at least 1 conference (Rutgers) and various local events.
Outline a chapter book series idea.
It's Time for Susanna Leonard Hill's 8th Annual Halloweensie Contest!
This contest has special significance for me. After posting last year's entry about a new sibling surprise, I went into labor and delivered my son! I look forward to actually reading other entries this year. Thank you Susanna for a wonderful tradition!
2018 Prompt: Write a 100-word Halloween story appropriate for children 12 and under using the words shiver, cauldron, and howl.
When we moved on Halloween, nobody warned us about the house on the hill with blue shutters and a white picket fence.
Purple lights blinked and pumpkin grins glowed. The doorbell howled like a wolf. A witch with a cauldron opened the door.
We reached into the cauldron for a treat, but got a trick instead. We shrieked and shivered at the horror in our hands as we sprinted home.
"Did you get any candy?" Mom asked.
We shook our heads and opened our hands. Instead of sweets, the house on the hill gave out…carrots.
As much as my daughter loves snuggly reading marathons, she also loves to act the books out, repeat favorite lines, draw and "write" about them, and use toys to extend the story. Building on my LEGO theme this month, here are two of our picture book-inspired LEGO creations.
After seeing a cover reveal blog post for Tanya Valentine's adorable book Little Taco Truck, we created our own food truck serving up pizza and ice cream outside the community library and park.
Writing With The Stars founder Tara Luebbe's book I Am Famous inspired an amphitheater and stage with a revolving platform (thanks Les Misérables).
For more book-inspired LEGO creations, check out the art of Marcie Colleen's husband Jonathan Lopes. His literature-inspired work includes Dan Santat's Beekle, Peter Brown's Mr. Tiger, Marcie's Love, Triangle cast, and more. And while you are at it, check out Marcie's Study Hall program – an amazing mentor-led critique group for picture book writers.
In addition to LEGO bricks, we have used blocks to act out Cori Doerrfeld's The Rabbit Listened with my daughter's favorite line, "It's going to be amazing!" We have constructed train tracks and pushed Two Little Trains west after reading Margaret Wise Brown's classic. And we have emptied the contents of the play fridge to create our own food world like the one Josh Funk and Brendan Kearney created in The Stinky Stench.
As a former teacher, I love enhancing our reading with learning and play activities that create real-world connections and build my daughter's big imagination. Plus, if I cannot carve out writing time while the kiddos are awake, building literature-inspired worlds is a worthy alternative.


In a results oriented world of measurement, analytics, and accountability there is little room for functions that are unable to prove that they add value to the bottom line. Evaluating the link between organizational performance and OD/HR practices is complex and there is no one right way to do it.
A report commissioned by the UK's Institute of Personnel and Development in 1997 (Patterson, M. G., West, M.A., Lawthorn, R. and Nickell, S. Impact of People Management Practices on Business Performance) sought to establish a link between Human Resource Management (HRM) practices and the financial performance of organizations: one in a series of efforts to prove that HRM contributes positively to the 'bottom line'. The findings from this research did reveal the possibilities of demonstrating a measurable impact of HRM on organisation performance and productivity.
• Ability is the assumption that people want to apply for jobs, have their attributes recognised and are willing to learn new skills.
• Motivation assumes that people can be motivated to use their ability in a productive manner.
• Opportunity assumes people will perform well, engage in high-quality work and participate in wider activities such as team initiatives or problem-solving if they are given the opportunity to do so.
A wide variety of human capital elements that are statistically associated with key organisational outcomes, but that the exact list of items that are most closely related to key outcomes in any given organisation bears little relation to the list of most important items in other organisations, even (in the case of the two manufacturing firms) within the same industry. It points to the complexity of measuring and managing human capital within organisations: there is no handy list of a small number of items that can be targeted in a quick effort to address an organisation's human capital deficiencies. Rather, a wide range of items, across multiple categories of human capital, must first be examined in order to identify those that are most closely related to the outcomes that the organisation is seeking. Only then can an organisation know where its human capital improvement efforts might most usefully be targeted.
We approached our research aware that there are many practitioners in the field of OD who believe that its systemic nature makes it hard to measure; some hold a world view that says it's inappropriate even to try.
…. In the prevailing economic climate we would argue that it is critically important. And as we emerge into a post recession world, we believe that being able and willing to demonstrate the impact of OD on the effectiveness of organizations will be imperative if the discipline is to maintain and increase its credibility.
Thinking about evaluation I'm wondering how important it is for HR and OD to show by rigorous analytics that they add value to business performance and productivity? Does it make business sense to do so, or is it too complex and time-consuming a task to get to reliable and tailored metrics that drive business strategy and performance? Does the ability to evaluate effectively have a bearing on the relationship and organisational positioning between OD and HR?


There is a massive, and very understandable, trend towards growing vegetables in the garden. Buy produce in the Supermarket and who knows what chemicals have been applied to them, or what other treatments that they have been subjected to just to keep them fresh and sale-able for longer? Many products have even travelled thousands of miles before appearing on the shelves.
Even the smallest Garden or Greenhouse can supply some of your families fruit and vegetables and with a little planning, and by eating produce in season - you can have a very positive impact on the health of your family simply by Growing Your Own.
Our Grow-your-Own accessories are designed to give a "hands on" approach to growing vegetables in the garden. The experience of producing, cooking and then eating at home is one that can introduce children to the links between the natural world and the world that we live in.
Growing Your Own fruit and vegetables can be huge fun, it can be as involving as you want it to be and, after all, "GYO" always tastes the best!

José Manuel de la Torre Menchaca (Guadalajara el 13 de noviembre de 1965) más conocido como Chepo, es un director técnico y exfutbolista mexicano, actualmente sin equipo

Como futbolista jugó para las Chivas, Real Oviedo de España, Puebla, Cruz Azul, Tigres y Necaxa. Es hermano de Néstor de la Torre Menchaca (quien fuese presidente del Club Deportivo Guadalajara) y de igual forma, hermano de Eduardo de la Torre, exfutbolista y director deportivo del Cruz Azul. Espera dirigir al Club León de México.

Futbolista

Como jugador, debutó en el año de 1982 con el Club Deportivo Guadalajara con el cual llegó a ser campeón en la temporada 1986-1987, también se consagró con el Puebla en la temporada 1989-1990 y con el Necaxa en el Torneo Invierno 1998.

En el año de 1988 emigró a la Primera División de España con el Real Oviedo donde permaneció una temporada.

Selección nacional
Jugó algunos partidos con la Selección Mexicana, en la que debutó el martes 6 de octubre de 1987, pero nunca logró disputar una Copa Mundial. En un partido eliminatorio contra Costa Rica en el actual estadio Azul, jugó unos minutos como portero por la expulsión de Jorge Campos cuando ya no había cambios disponibles.

 Participaciones en Copa Oro

Entrenador
Tras su retiro como futbolista el "Chepo" inició siendo Auxiliar Técnico de varios entrenadores como Mario Carrillo, Raúl Arias, Leo Beenhakker, Manuel Lapuente, entre otros, en su preparación como director técnico en el Club América. Incluso llegó a dirigir a las Águilas en un clásico en Estados Unidos mientras Beenhakker atendía asuntos en México.

Club Deportivo Guadalajara

En la fecha 11 del Torneo Clausura 2006 tras el cese de Hans Westerhof como entrenador del Guadalajara José Manuel de la Torre por fin recibió la oportunidad de poder dirigir a un club, el cual fue el club que lo vio nacer futbolísticamente, se estrenó el sábado 18 de marzo y su debut no pudo ser mejor, al vencer con marcador de 1-0 al Cruz Azul, en ese torneo llevó al equipo hasta la liguilla, siendo eliminados en semifinales por el Pachuca equipo que a la postre sería el campeón de dicho certamen.

Para el Torneo Apertura 2006 José Manuel volvió a meter a su equipo a la liguilla, enfrentándose en la final del torneo al Deportivo Toluca dirigido en ese entonces por el argentino Américo Gallego, en esa final suscitada la vuelta en el Estadio Nemesio Díez las Chivas lograron su undécimo campeonato de liga y el "Chepo" obtuvo su primer título como entrenador.

José Manuel de la Torre siguió en Chivas hasta el Torneo Apertura 2007 cuando fue destituido de su cargo el 27 de septiembre.

Deportivo Toluca

El día lunes 2 de junio de 2008 comenzó una nueva etapa en su vida profesional ya que de cara al Torneo Apertura 2008 se hizo oficial su incorporación al Deportivo Toluca el cual es su segundo equipo como técnico en el fútbol mexicano, supliendo en el cargo al entrenador argentino José Néstor Pekerman.

En su primer torneo al mando del equipo logró su segundo título como entrenador al vencer el domingo 14 de diciembre de 2008 en la final a través de la serie de penales al Cruz Azul, dándole así al Deportivo Toluca su noveno título de liga en la historia.

Para el Torneo Bicentenario 2010 volvió a obtener el título, venciendo al Santos Laguna en penales, y así coronar al Deportivo Toluca como el Tercer mejor equipo en la historia del Torneo Mexicano de Fútbol, solo después de las Chivas del Guadalajara, que ostentan 12, títulos nacionales y el América con 13 títulos.

Selección Mexicana

Después del Mundial de Sudáfrica 2010, se le consideró uno de los principales candidatos para suplir a Javier Aguirre al mando de la Selección Mexicana de Fútbol, tras la renuncia de este último. Finalmente, el 18 de octubre de 2010 fue nombrado el nuevo entrenador de la Selección Mexicana de Fútbol.

El 9 de febrero del 2011 tuvo su primer partido al frente de la selección, enfrentando a , partido que ganó con un marcador de 2-0.

Su desempeño al frente de la Selección nacional se ha visto empañado tras los malos resultados en el 2013 que hacen peligrar la clasificación al Mundial de Brasil 2014. Asimismo, el mediocre desempeño de la Selección Mexicana en la Copa Confederaciones 2013 (eliminación en primera ronda), así como las dos derrotas ante  tanto en primera vuelta como en semifinales de la Copa de Oro 2013 desencadenaron una serie de críticas de la prensa y de la afición. Fue despedido el 7 de septiembre de 2013 tras la derrota ante  en el Azteca en la 7.ª jornada del hexagonal final rumbo a Brasil 2014 siendo sustituido por su asistente, Luis Fernando Tena.

Club Deportivo Guadalajara (2a Etapa)

El 7 de octubre de 2014, después de más de 1 año sin dirigir, regresó al Club Deportivo Guadalajara para el Torneo Apertura 2014 con el objetivo de salvar al club del descenso, luego de que el técnico Carlos Bustos presentara su renuncia por los malos resultados obtenidos en el torneo. El equipo mostró una gran mejoría en el Torneo Clausura 2015 donde no sólo evadió fácilmente el descenso sino que llevó al equipo al superliderato en una parte del torneo para calificar a liguilla. En cuartos de final pasó por encima del Atlas con global de 4-1 y llegó a semifinal, donde cayó con el Santos, que a la postre sería el campeón, con global de 3-0. Finalmente tras solo tener 7 puntos en 8 partidos del Apertura 2015, Chepo de la Torre fue despedido por los malos resultados.

Club Santos Laguna
De la Torre llega a Santos con el objetivo de sacarlo de los últimos lugares y convertirlo en un equipo protagonista que pelee el título. El 15 de agosto de 2016 el Santos Laguna anunció a de la Torre como nuevo entrenador santista.

Durante su primer torneo terminó en la decimoquinta posición con 16 puntos. El equipo mostró mejoría en el Clausura 2017 donde a pesar de que empató en la mayoría de los juegos en la fase regular fueron suficientes para calificar a liguilla en la sexta posición. Ahí se enfrentó su ex-equipo el Toluca en cuartos de final en donde perdió por 4-3 global. Finalmente el 18 de septiembre sería despedido después de perder 3-1 ante el Cruz Azul y dejando el equipo en posición 15.

Deportivo Toluca (2a Etapa)
El 18 de noviembre de 2019, después de casi 2 años sin dirigir, Toluca mediante un comunicado oficial, oficializa el regreso del Chepo a la dirección técnica a partir del Clausura 2020, con el objetivo de calificar al Toluca tras 2 torneos consecutivos sin poder clasificar a la liguilla.

En su primer torneo con los diablos no le fue nada bien, con solo 2 victorias y terminando 15 en la tabla general en un torneo que se canceló por la pandemia. Al siguiente torneo donde en las primeras 6 jornadas el equipo se colocó segundo de la tabla general con 4 victorias (tres de ellas fueron consecutivas), luego después vino una racha negativa de 6 partidos consecutivos sin poder ganar en donde sólo sumó 2 puntos de 18 posibles con 4 derrotas y 2 empates. Finalmente sería destituido el 28 de septiembre dejando al equipo en la Posición 10.

Govt adopted multi-pronged strategy to control swine flu: Azad
Dispelling concerns about the surge in swine flu cases in the country,Union Health Minister Ghulam Nabi Azad said his ministry has adopted a "multi-pronged strategy" to control the spread of the virus.
Written by Agencies | Baderwah,j&k | Published: June 22, 2009 6:43:49 pm
Dispelling concerns about the surge in swine flu cases in the country,Union Health Minister Ghulam Nabi Azad on Monday said his ministry has adopted a "multi-pronged strategy" to control the spread of the virus and there was no reason to panic. "It is because of multi-pronged strategy adopted by health ministry that the cases of swine flu remained almost negligible in India as compared to 275 other countries," Azad said.
According to Health Ministry officials in Delhi,a total of 59 people have tested positive for swine flu across the country,out of which 32 patients have been discharged. Azad said that there was "no need to worry about the influenza as it is fully curable" and enough medicines are available in the country. "Keeping in view the size and population of the country,the cases reported so far are almost negligible," he said,adding that the ministry continues to monitor the flu cases,which came from foreign countries.
Talking about health care facilities in Jammu and Kashmir,the minister said he would review it on June 24 in a meeting with Chief Minister Omar Abdullah and State Health Minister Sham Lal Sharma. The meeting,to be held in Srinagar,will also be attended by senior state and central officials.
Azad said the Health Ministry was ready to provide funds to Jammu and Kashmir for the appointment of doctors and paramedics on ad hoc basis to fill up vacancies in rural areas. At present,Health ministry is funding the setting up of about three dozen hospitals in the state,Azad said while expressing hope the state government would "gear up its machinery to complete these projects".

enacting legislation which requires parents to register their intention to home educate and inform the local authority if they move home.
enacting legislation which requires and enables local authority officers to undertake an annual home visit to monitor the child's progress. This visit should involve a discussion with the child in private as well as their parents and include a focus on any support needed.
Define what constitutes a 'suitable' education in the context of the 1996 Education Act.
In other words, it is a rehash of Clause 26 of the Children's, Schools, and Families (CSF) bill, generated from the Badman report, that was thrown out in the House of Lords on the 7th of April 2010.
Other complaints about the report is that it continues to mix up education and welfare / safeguarding of children just like the review into home education by the DCSF back in January 2009 did, and that little is mentioned about improving local authority support for home educated children other than the Department of Education should "consider" finance being available for home-educated children to take GCSE examinations.
The publication of this report has attracted much criticism. Graham Stuart MP condemned the report as "an unpleasant hangover of the last government: a manifesto for more state power at the expense of dedicated home educators and their children". Another critique of the report on a home education website made a reference to the legislation introduced by Hitler as part of the 'Nazification' of children!
Did Ofsted have government clearance to publish this report?
According to an article in CYP Now, "The new Department for Education has called a moratorium on the work of all government quangos and arm's length bodies in the children and young people's sector."
In an email seen exclusively by CYP Now, David Bell, the top civil servant at the department, instructs agencies including Cafcass, the Youth Justice Board and Ofsted not to make any announcements, sign contracts or publish policy or corporate documents until the new government ministers have settled on their "priorities".
In the light of this information, it is clearly evident that Ofsted has acted in defiance of the government.

The trainers were mindful about the different learning styles but at times there was a lack of hands on practice due to the amount of material to cover.
The trainers are knowledgeable, I did not always find the course material easy to understand. There is a lot of information to learn and comprehend and limited time. Asking for 1:1 time was very helpful for me, it meant things could be at my pace and reiterated as I needed.
The high level of knowledge of the trainers and that the course was so thorough.
The trainers have different teaching styles and made effort to accommodate varying student needs.

HomeNewsDanny's interview on CNN about the Bite
Danny's interview on CNN about the Bite
Former "Partridge Family" star Danny Bonaduce was at an event on September 28 when a fan asked to kiss him. Instead of a sweet peck on the cheek the fan decided to bite him! Is this the craziest thing that has happened to Bonaduce? He tells Showbiz Tonight's A.J. Hammer exactly what happened!
(CNN) — Former child star and radio personality Danny Bonaduce is nursing a nasty bite mark after a fan latched onto his face at a Washington state casino Friday night.
Bonaduce, who hosts a morning show on KZOK in Seattle, was making an appearance at the casino when a woman asked for a kiss.
"The first lady in line … says 'I love your radio show. I loved you on the "Partridge Family." Can you kiss me?' And I said, 'Sure,'" Bonaduce told CNN affiliate KIRO-TV.
That's when, according to Bonaduce, the woman wrapped both arms around his head and sunk her teeth into his check, near his left ear.
"They were tiny little Chucky teeth. Man, they just gnawed like piranhas," Bonaduce said. "People are trying to pull her off me … I'm screaming like a baby."
Chucky is a reference to the villain in the "Child's Play" horror film series about a murderous, possessed doll with a bad attitude and a mouth full of sharp chompers.
"It was so painful," said Bonaduce, who was also at the casino to serve as master of ceremonies for a concert by Hells Belles, an all-female AC/DC tribute band. "It was … as if someone wadded up 10 lit cigarettes and stuck them on your face, but they didn't go out, they just stayed that hot."
Bonaduce said his first thought after the attack was "bath salts."
Bath salts are a class of designer drugs that contain amphetamine-like chemicals and were initially blamed in a May attack in Miami in which a naked man chewed off part of another man's face. Tests later showed the man had smoked pot.
Bonaduce said he won't file charges in the attack, saying he's certain the woman had lost her grasp on reality.
"I think she was truly, truly delusional. I don't think she had any idea what she did."

Luis Rodríguez Arroyo (* 19. November 1915 in Madrid; † 4. November 1956 ebenda) war ein spanischer Schauspieler und Regisseur.

Arroyo fand schon früh Gefallen am klassischen spanischen Theater; so gehörte er (wie seine Schwester Ana Mariscal) zu Schulzeiten einer Amateurtruppe an. Nach dem Spanischen Bürgerkrieg erhielt er aufgrund seines guten Aussehens rasch Angebote der Filmindustrie.

1940 drehte er seinen ersten Film, El último husar, dem etliche folgten, die die jüngsten politischen Ereignisse als Hintergrund verwendeten, u. a. Raza nach einem Drehbuch des Generalissimo Franco. Meist jedoch spielte er in leichten Komödien und Romanzen, was Arroyo nicht zufriedenstellte, so dass er 1946 mit Dulcinea seinen ersten eigenen Film produzierte. Nach finanziellen Rückschlägen (auch ein zweiter Film war kein Erfolg) kehrte er als Darsteller zum Film zurück. Nur in seinem Todesjahr, 1956, drehte er nochmals einen Kurzfilm in eigener Regie.

Some people have a static view about their business. They have great ideas and then get lost in the 'do-do' of doing the work. This is known as working IN YOUR BUSINESS.
Your business only evolves and grows if you evolve and grow.
People who work IN THEIR BUSINESS tend to focus on WHAT needs to be done. When they become overwhelmed they try to change WHAT they're doing, but they are limited because the nature of the work IS the work!
The uncertainty of "not knowing" causes fear and doubt because they want assurance that it's all going to turn out okay. They have no control over their workloads and are frightened that clients will either all flood in all at once or there will be a drought.
You're an order taker. You're just focusing on doing the work. You've forgotten your passion. You may have left the corporate world and set up your business doing what you were doing for an organisation – now you're doing it for yourself. Here lies a paradox: Some entrepreneurs run their businesses with an employee mindset rather than evolving the mindset of a business owner.
No strategy – just delivery. You have no real clarity or vision for your business. It all centres on your products or services and getting the job done. No strategy or thought goes into it. You work reactively to what seems to be urgent at the time and have no systems, structures or support mechanisms in place to help you.
Not enough hours in the day. You're already so thinly spread there is hardly enough time in the day to get everything done. You have no one to delegate to, so how could you possibly have any time to step back and grow? You're too busy doing it all! You have created a limited ceiling and can't go any further. Your only option is to work harder and you feel that you are reaching your limit.
You don't invest in your growth. You're trying to do it all on your own without any support. You've not developed your leadership skills to run a business. You take advice from your friends or family who have never been in business!
You focus on the HOW. If something isn't working you look at HOW you do things. You don't fundamentally change the nature of WHAT you're doing. You focus on HOW you're currently doing things and create new systems to help the flow. You have processes and practices that streamline your activities and save you time.
You know your high value work. You have clarity, vision and purpose: You know WHY you are in business. You're moving towards more of what you want rather than moving away from what you don't want. You're clear on your High Value Work and focus your time and energy on these activities. Low Value Work is automated, delegated or deleted. You are selective.
You work to a schedule. You know what you're doing BEFORE you sit down to do it. You have a weekly schedule and work to it. You have standards and boundaries in place so that time doesn't hemorrhage away. You schedule time for marketing, personal growth and for being creative (your genius work!).
You're in the business of marketing.You understand the value of marketing and have created CONSISTENT stay-in-touch strategies with your stakeholders, clients/prospective clients. You're building relationships and networking online and offline. Marketing is EVERYTHING if you want a successful business leader. It's part of your weekly plan.
You surround yourself with like-minded people. You invest in your own personal growth. Your learning and growth is a CONSISTENT strategy. You network and mastermind with like-minded business people. You have a coach to help you understand and develop your marketing, leverage, mindset and skills as a leader.
Successful leaders are always growing and changing. Working ON your business gives you a whole new approach to productivity, business and lifestyle. You create a balanced approach to your whole life.
Are you working IN or ON your business?

As I walked to John's office, I had no idea what had happened, but it sounded VERY serious.
I found him slumped in his chair, head in his hands, sweating and looking very uncomfortable. Normally he was an assertive (occasionally aggressive!) and passionate leader. He had just come off the phone with his CEO who had asked him to present his business strategy to the global board of directors in two weeks time.
John was recently promoted to a senior position in the company. He had delivered presentations to his team and peers many times.
As he was presenting the other executives glared at him in disbelief. He could hear them whispering 'how did this guy get to this level without knowing how to present?!' 'He's talking rubbish!' He felt stupid, vulnerable and exposed.
John was visualizing his failure. The voices in his head were working overtime. He'd sub-consciously set his goal to lose his job in two weeks time!
One of the most under used powerful tools that we have is our ability to visualize things in our mind. We're often very good at visualizing the negative stuff and then creating our self fulfilling prophecy of doom.
You also have the ability to visualize success because it actives the creative powers of your sub-conscious mind. Seeing your goal already successfully completed.
Have you ever seen a car that you really liked and then found that you keep seeing that model everywhere?
Our mind doesn't think linearly, it thinks in pictures.
Creating mental pictures of what you want really focuses your attention on your intention. It becomes real in our minds.
In the car example, what was happening was that the 'want' of this car activated your subconscious mind. Your mind filter or RAS (Reticular Activating System) opens up to notice the car that was previously unnoticed. Energy goes where attention flows – so the car is everywhere!
Visualization is a powerful tool because it enables you to see your intention (destination). It strengthens your focus and clarity on your end result. It attracts you towards the people and resources that you need to achieve your success.
1. Get clear on your vision – what do you want?
2. Set aside some time EVERY DAY to visualize your goal already complete. 10 – 15 minutes a day is all you need. Create a ritual first thing in the morning or last thing at night before you turn off the light. Keep your vision of success on your radar.
3. Intensify your visualization of success by adding sensations. Use the senses to bring it to life. What does it look like? What does it sound like? What does it feel like? What does it smell like? What does it taste like?
4. Create a Vision Board – A Vision Board is a great visual tool to collect pictures of the things that you want to be, do or have. For example, a new car, a trip to the beach, a new home, a pet or a relationship, be healthy, lose weight etc… You glue each picture to a poster board and put them up somewhere you can see them daily. Through these pictures you get to enjoy your desires and bring them closer to you. It's amazing how powerful this exercise can be.
