BC Coroner – Record 128 Illicit Drug OD's In November
Victoria –The BC Coroner reports that in BC, a record 128 deaths from illicit drug overdoses were recorded for November 2016. Chief Coroner Lisa LaPointe says there were 11 overdose deaths across the province over the weekend. (There have been 755 deaths to date this year.) That is a 70.4% increase over the same period last year. Fraser Health's Dr. Perry Kendall says these are the highest OD death numbers in 30 years. It shows something other than fentanyl active.
While the BC government announced that they have taken steps over the past month to stem the tide, nothing seems to be working. Fentanyl is still the biggest killer. On what December might hold, LaPointe noted "We hope it is not as bad as November but we are seeing some spikes". Kendall says we are likely seeing offshoots of fentanyl – perhaps carfentanil in those numbers.
The bottom line is that the BC government response was to re-issue its promise to open 500 beds by end of March, however, there was no mention of more paramedics being hired or ambulances being added.
Here is the Provincial media release:
Updated statistics released Monday from the BC Coroners Service show the number of illicit drug overdose deaths increased throughout B.C. in November (128). Government and its partners have taken many significant steps to address the overdose crisis this month.
Of particular note, the federal government recently announced they will take action under their new Canadian Drugs and Substances Strategy on several initiatives B.C. has advocated for. The federal strategy includes simplifying the approval process for supervised consumption services – an evidence-based approach which prevents overdose deaths, helps mitigate the spread of communicable diseases and links users with resources for addiction treatment and recovery services. In addition, to interrupt the flow of illegal drugs into Canada, the strategy includes measures like prohibiting the importation of designated devices such as pill presses – unless they are registered with the minister of health – and providing Canada Border Service agents the authority to open suspicious packages under 30 grams or less.
A provincial cold-weather strategy has been activated in the hardest-hit communities to provide more tools to prevent overdoses. The Province's Mobile Medical Unit is now stationed in the Downtown Eastside as an alternative medical-care unit for patients who overdose, relieving pressure in emergency departments such as St. Paul's Hospital, and freeing up paramedics more quickly for the next 911 call. Eighteen overdose prevention sites will have opened by the end of December in high-risk areas in Vancouver, Surrey, Victoria, Prince George, Kelowna, Kamloops, Maple Ridge, Langley and Abbotsford. The sites provide a safe place for people using drugs to be monitored in case of overdose, and are supported through a ministerial order issued Dec. 9, 2016 under the Emergency Health Services Act and Health Authorities Act.
The overdose crisis requires both an acute response and a long-term strategy on substance use issues, involving immediate harm-reduction actions combined with longer-term addiction treatment and recovery pathways. In the past three years, health authorities have opened 300 new substance-use beds as part of the commitment to open 500 new beds. With tendering processes currently underway, more than 100 additional treatment beds will open next month, with the remainder on track to open by March 31, 2017. In light of the current epidemic of overdoses, in addition to these beds the Ministry of Health is looking at bringing on extra surge capacity in treatment beds and other treatment resources, utilizing a range of different approaches, as soon as possible.
Government continues to take actions on many fronts to prevent and respond to overdoses in B.C. New items since the last provincial update on Nov. 15, 2016 include:
On Dec. 7, 2016, all licensed or registered treatment facilities in B.C. were directed to carry naloxone and ensure staff are trained to administer it.
Nurse practitioners will be able to continue Suboxone prescribing (after initiation by a physician) for their patients through an amendment to the Scope of Practice to Standards for Nurse Practitioners starting on Jan. 7, 2017.
Four education modules to support teachers in helping teach children about drugs were developed in partnership with University of Victoria's Centre for Addictions Research of BC (CARBC). [www.uvic.ca/research/centres/carbc/publications/helping-schools]
Resources on how to have conversations about drugs for parents and people who work with children and youth also have been developed in collaboration with CARBC. [www.healthlinkbc.ca/substance-use/parenting-articles]
On Nov. 24, 2016, the RCMP and Chinese Ministry of Public Safety announced efforts against illegal fentanyl trafficking into Canada. [news.gov.bc.ca/releases/2016PSSG0236-002494]
The Ministry of Children and Family Development began offering no-charge naloxone kits and training to foster parents, community partners and ministry staff in the Lower Mainland and southern Vancouver Island.
Facility overdose response boxes with naloxone are being distributed to community organizations where overdoses are more likely to occur. Guidelines have been shared with supportive housing and homeless shelters to support the development of overdose response protocols.
The BC Centre for Disease Control continues to expand the Take Home Naloxone program: 17,828 no-charge naloxone kits have been distributed to date – more than 12,000 this year alone. Naloxone kits are now being dispensed at 367 locations in B.C., including 57 emergency departments and four corrections facilities.
To date over 5,700 police members have been trained to use naloxone, with over 30 incidents where naloxone was used.
Vancouver Coastal Health and partners launched two new overdose prevention outreach teams in the Downtown Eastside. Island Health and Fraser Health also launched teams in Victoria and Surrey.
Island Health, Fraser Health and Interior Health began public engagement in preparation for supervised consumption site applications in Victoria, Surrey, Kelowna and Kamloops.
On Nov. 24, 2016, the RCMP and Chinese Ministry of Public Safety announced efforts against illegal fentanyl trafficking into Canada [news.gov.bc.ca/releases/2016PSSG0236-002494].
Focused police investigations on fentanyl dealers have resulted in:
Dec. 1, 2016: Multi-agency investigation resulted in the seizure of 1.45 kilograms of fentanyl by Victoria Police.
Nov. 29, 2016: Carfentanil linked to Vancouver man's death.
Nov. 22, 2016: Carfentanil detected in Vancouver drug seizure
Focused efforts by Canada Border Services Agency resulting in 47 seizures of fentanyl or carfentanil weighing a total of 11.7 kilos so far in 2016.
In September 2016, $5 million in new funding was provided for strategies identified by the Joint Task Force on Overdose Response, as well as $5 million more to help establish the BC Centre on Substance Use, and $5 million in additional funding to enhance BC Emergency Health Services resources. Overall more than $43 million in provincial funding is supporting measures that bolster the provincewide response to the crisis.
In July 2016, Premier Christy Clark appointed a Joint Task Force on Overdose Response to provide expert leadership and advice on additional actions to prevent and respond to overdoses in B.C. As part of the response, law enforcement is working at all levels of government to interdict the supply of toxic drugs, and health officials are working to address the immediate and longer-term health needs. To that end, B.C. is expanding access to life-saving naloxone, supervised consumption services, and opioid addiction treatment medications and services. The Province is also investing in research, education and training through the new B.C. Centre on Substance Use to ensure addiction treatment is effective and evidence-based. The Province also launched a broad awareness campaign to alert people of how to prevent, identify and respond to overdoses.

Paul Stone's next generation food to go store
Hot food-to-go, Store Profile
How do you introduce a new store to an area where your main competition is yourself? For Manchester Spar retailer Paul Stone, it's about fresh food to go and taking your offer upmarket
Clayton Park Deli
How do you introduce a new store to an area where your main competition is yourself? For Manchester Spar retailer Paul Stone, it's about fresh food to go and taking your offer upmarket. Chris Rolfe reports
Opening a Spar store within a stone's throw of two other Spars you also own is not a typical move.
But with a different layout, design and specialist sections, plus a huge new customer base on the horizon, Manchester retailer Paul Stone is convinced his eighth store has the right format to make it extremely profitable.
The new store, on Oxford Road in central Manchester, sits directly across the road from the 2,000sq ft Spar Paul opened in 1994 – a 24-hour business which serves office workers and around 18,000 students at two nearby universities.
A quarter of a mile behind the new store, Paul's Princess Street Spar attracts builders and around 16,000 students a week, with a specialist Chinese grocery range one of its big attractions, along with fresh coffee from Paul's Cheeky Coffee brand.
But in between these more traditional formats, Paul's new 1,900sq ft store – which opened on 15 March and cost upwards of £350,000 to develop – centres on foodservice, food to go, and fresh and chilled.
"We've gone for more premium ranging, with wine, food to go and ingredients for evening meals," says Paul. "Foodservice is much more important, and we expect food to go to make up 25% of our takings."
Central to the store is a pilot of Spar wholesaler James Hall & Co's Clayton Park Deli. Around 40 products, including wraps, sandwiches and salads, are being trialled, with equipment from Merry Chef – the firm used by Subway and Marks & Spencer – allowing staff to serve hot food extremely quickly.
"We can serve fruit toast in 60 seconds – everything can be cooked in under a minute," says Paul.
Other elements of the store which create its premium feel have been inspired by Marks & Spencer too. In an aisle housing a vast array of ingredients for evening meals, 60cm black refrigeration bays similar to those used in the multiple allow Paul to block-merchandise products such as ready meals and fresh produce, alongside fruit and vegetables, cooking ingredients and basic grocery items, facilitating full-basket shopping for customers in a hurry.
And near the entrance, equipment housing food to go items such as sandwiches and snacks allows Paul to set different temperatures for different shelves, thereby chilling sandwiches while also heating cookies and muffins with melting chocolate centres.
The store's unique design also creates much of this premium feel.
"As we've grown, it's given us confidence to try new things, and I love the design of this store," he says, pointing out new design elements "to make the store feel funkier" such as exposed brick and wooden boards, plus copper mesh in lighting and display stands.
"It looks and feels different. Also, we had no space for seating across the street but were able to add it here, using the copper mesh design to keep it consistent, so this store feels more relaxed," he says.
While Paul's offer has been designed to attract a customer base of students and city workers he knows well, he also has his sights set on a huge opportunity ahead.
"Strategically, this is a very important site. A new multi-storey car park and 12 towers are being built, so we will have up to 9,000 people living and working here when the building work is complete," he says.
To increase the store's appeal for existing and incoming customers, Paul is already planning improvements to his offer.
"We're about to refresh our meal deal PoS to simplify it. Customers have also told us our alcohol range is too small, so we'll expand that, and I want to add made-to-order sandwiches too," he says.
The success of his new store will boil down to one simple principle, he says.
"It's about knowing your customers, and building an offer that will attract them."

Lou Adler Net Worth
What is Lou Adler's net worth?
Born: December 13, 1933
Source of Wealth: Record Producer
Lou Adler is an American record producer, music executive, and film director.
Adler is the co-owner of the Roxy Theatre in West Hollywood. He has produced and developed many iconic musical artists, including The Grass Roots, Jan & Dean, The Mamas & the Papas and Carole King. The album 'Tapestry', produced by Adler, won the 1972 Grammy Award for Album of the Year.
As of 2022, Lou Adler's net worth is estimated to be roughly $200 million.
Lester Louis Adler was born on the 13th of December, 1933, in Chicago.
Adler grew up in a mixed Jewish-Mexican family. He made his beginnings as a songwriter for Sam Cooke. He then decided to found his own production house, Dunhill Records, in 1964.
Adler discovered the Mamas and the Papas. Using profits from their consecutive hits he co-produced the groundbreaking Monterey International Pop Festival in 1967.
During a three-day concert event, American audiences got acquainted with the likes of the Who, Otis Redding and Jimi Hendrix. In 1967, Adler sold Dunhill for $3 million to ABC Records, and the same year he founded Ode Records.
With his new label came many new successes, including the instant hit album 'Tapestry' by former songwriter Carole King, as well the cult phenomenon 'The Rocky Horror Show.'
In 1978, he directed Cheech and Chong's debut film 'Up in Smoke' 1978. He eventually withdrew from the movie industry, directing his attention on charitable organizations while serving as one of the industry's most knowledgeable sounding boards.
As of today, Adler's name is instantly recognizable to most people. He is one of the most successful and well-known music producers of all time, an entertainment legend in his own right, identified inextricably with Los Angeles' musical culture.
In 2006, Adler was awarded a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. In 2013, he was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame 2013 as the winner, alongside Quincy Jones, of the Ahmet Ertegun Award.

Favorite Quotes from Lou Adler
"When I did 'Tapestry' with Carole King, the record was spare and simple, like a demo. If someone had told me to go back and put horns on it, it would've been all wrong. If you're enthusiastic enough to sign an artist, let them do what got you enthusiastic." – Lou Adler
"I never had a particular sound. There was no Lou Adler sound like there's a Phil Spector sound. I always tried to make the records about the artists and their particular sound." – Lou Adler
"He made an enormous amount of money in the record business as a result of owning so much of what I was doing… I owned all those albums and continued to own my catalog." – Lou Adler
"In making films, you're dealing with hundreds of people and a crew, but eventually, it's you and an editor, and that part of it, I liked it a lot. The experience on 'Up in Smoke' was great. I really enjoyed it." – Lou Adler
"Surf music at the time that I did it wasn't mainstream, nor were the Cheech and Chong albums. The risk comes from having the ability to do something that hadn't been done before that I thought was either interesting as an art form or just should be done." – Lou Adler

My guest post today is by Curls from Motherhood: The Great Adventure. It has been fun for me to get to know her better the last year or so and I loved reading her thoughts about being a Latter-day Saint in Canada. You can read more about her adventures (and her super cute little girl) at her blog.
Since Canada is such a big place and I have only lived in BC, I'm just going to talk about the province of British Columbia. British Columbia is actually considered part of the bible belt which runs from the south up through the Midwest and ends in BC, so there are churches everywhere and most people are familiar with Christian beliefs, even though hardly anyone attends. I would say the dominate belief system is belief in self with Christian familiarity and a sizeable Sikh minority.
The city in which I live (Chilliwack) has the highest number of churches per population of any city in Canada, and as such it is actually much more religious than other parts or the province. However, most businesses and stores are open on Sunday, even banks now, and most churches aren't well attended except at Easter and Christmas.
I've been a member since I was eight. The first members in my family to join the Church joined on both my dad's and my mom's sides way back when the church was in New York and Ohio or in the early missions to England. They then crossed the plans by wagon and settled in various places around Utah. (Draper, and Cache Valley) Eventually they ended up spread throughout Idaho and Utah (no Canadians as far as I know, no one got that far North). They were for the most part the diligent humble saints who are never mentioned in histories but who drive the work forward through simple acts of faith. I hope to be just like them.
3. What is the LDS church attendance like in your area? How many stakes, wards, or branches are there in your area? On an average Sunday how many members attend church? Do people have to travel far to attend church? What are the demographics of your ward? Are most members young, old, married, single, are there more women then men? Or it is it a good balance?
We have two wards in my city, we recently split about a year and a half ago. According to the LDS Newsroom there are 29,273 members in BC with one Mission and one recently built temple (2010) and 78 congregations. Our stake has wards from three different cities. Most people only have to travel a few minutes by car to church, but those who live rurarally have to travel farther. We only have a 2 minute drive from our apartment to church.
In our ward we have 127 sisters on the rolls but only about fifty attend regularly. (I don't know what the full numbers are for our ward) One challenge we face is many retirees who travel for significant portions of the year, some are gone for four to five months at a time quite often.
Our ward's demographics are mainly: empty nesters/retirees, young married couples with children in kindergarten and under, many widowed older sisters, and only 4 to 5 families with older children and youth. As such our primary and youth programs are quite small, but we are constantly having new babies born in our ward.
Another interesting demographic is that many people in our ward are from different countries. We have Argentines, Chileans, New Zealanders, Scots, Americans, Brits, Samoans and French. It's a very diverse ward in terms of culture and finances. We have very poor people and very rich people with most people falling in between.
Most members in our ward are in family units, but we do have many widowed older sisters and a few single mothers as well. There is a fairly good balance between men and women.
The temple is a forty five minute drive from our house. It's in Langely, BC and was built in 2010. Unfortunately the temple itself isn't very well attended, there are times we have been to a session and there were only five other people there. It's one of the smaller temples, and relatively unknown. There are only 30,000 members to get the word out to a population of about 4 million, but the open house was well attended. I think most people don't really have much a feeling either way about it.
Most people seem surprised that a young college educated woman would attend any church. Most of them have only heard of Mormons in the context of the FLDS group living in Bountiful BC and so think that all Mormons practice polygamy. I've never had to defend my beliefs, but I do explain them from time to time. Not so much right now since I'm at home with my baby, but when I was working it happened once or twice a month. Most people I've talked with about Mormons are themselves religious, those who don't have any religious beliefs aren't interested at all in mine I've found.
I would say it's difficult for missionaries to find people to teach, although in the past few months our ward has really seen an increase in investigators. We've had three new member baptisms in the past year, most of them occurring quite recently.
Actually in Chilliwack because of the general religiosity there are many families with more than 2 children, but that is not the norm for BC in general. A family of four would seem a little large, but not overly unusual. A family of six children would seem large. One nice thing about Chilliwack is that in general it's very family friendly. They are very open to children and nursing isn't a big deal. Because Chilliwack is so far from Vancouver mostly just family oriented people live here since it provides more outdoor space and housing prices are much lower.
I visit teach two active sisters, and I only have to travel a few minutes to reach them. I love visiting teaching, it's so wonderful to get to know sisters on a more personal level and become their friend. Most the women in the ward that I would consider friends I visit taught at one point.
Because the sisters in our ward are so varied so are their challenges. We have health challenges. We have challenges with children, with finances, with being widowed or divorced. The challenges are fairly varied and unique. We are so blessed in Canada with peace and prosperity and so many other wonderful blessings I think our only communal challenge is our very blessings. Just like the Book of Mormon teaches when the Lord is blessing us the most is when we are most likely to struggle with pride.
But all in all I think I am blessed to live in such a wonderful country with such a wonderful ward.
My testimony. The knowledge that He is always there to help me, that I can find answers to any question or problem through the scriptures and personal revelation. The deep joy that my knowledge of the plan of salvation and my experiences with the atonement have given me. My family. Serving others. I couldn't imagine my life without the gospel and I am so grateful to have been given such a wonderful gift from such a loving Heavenly Father.
I've visited your blog a few times, Curls, but it's nice to see you answer these questions. My grandmother (now a widow) lives in BC near Castlegar, and my dad is Canadian (his family joined the Church when he was a teenager in Winnepeg) so it was fun to hear what the Church is like out that way these days.
My family lived in BC for five years, more specifically, Burnaby and North Vancouver. It was a real eye opener, We lived in the much more expensive part of town and and thus more libral thinking. Most of our ward was retired and our primary was tiny only 10 kids. We had to travel 45 minutes to get to church. Our ward consisted of three towns, coquitlam, Burnaby and Port Coquitlam. When we were there a family of 1 or 2 was normal. A family of 4 would be considered large. I would agree tht most people would say they are christian but don't attend church,I met a few who had never even heard of Mormons. What I loved about living there was the diversity, so many cultures. My son in Kindergarten was one of four white kids in his class so he was the minority. We had a lot of Indian,Chinese and Koren influence. I look back on our time there and have such fond memories.
Thanks! Nice to get to know Curls a little better!


How much content can our SSDs hold for the Uncompressed Binloop?
The Repro2KU cards on our AV Binloop Uncompressed play back targa files off of Solid State Drives (SSDs) that are installed in the binloop. Each Repro2KU card holds one SSD.
We offer a few different SSD size options depending upon the needs for your project. In order to assist in helping determine just how large of an SSD you need to purchase, we've created an AVUC Storage Calculator (attached below).
Regardless of the file type, resolution, or bit depth, each targa frame takes up the same amount of space on our SSDs. Thus, playback framerate is the only variable that accounts for how many minutes of content that can be stored on our SSDs.
Our standard 480GB SSD can hold about 15 minutes of content at 59.97 playback, or about 30 minutes at 29.97.
Our largest drive, 1920GB SSD can hold about 1 hour of content at 59.97 playback, or about 2 hours at 29.97!

Bouterse as military leader in 1985.
The 1980 Surinamese coup d'état, usually referred to as the Sergeants' Coup (Dutch: De Sergeantencoup), was a military coup in Suriname which occurred on 25 February 1980, when a group of 16 sergeants (Dutch: groep van zestien, lit. 'group of sixteen') of the Surinamese Armed Forces (SKM) led by Dési Bouterse overthrew the government of Prime Minister Henck Arron with a violent coup d'état.[1] This marked the beginning of the military dictatorship that dominated the country from 1980 until 1991. The dictatorship featured the presence of an evening curfew, the lack of freedom of press, a ban on political parties (from 1985), a restriction on the freedom of assembly, a high level of government corruption and the summary executions of political opponents.[2]
1 Developments
1.1 December murders and Moiwana massacre
1.2 Transition to democratic rule
1.3 National holiday
Developments[edit]
President Johan Ferrier was eventually forced out of office in August 1980, and several months after the coup d'état by Bouterse most of the political authority transferred to the military leadership. From then until 1988, the titular Presidents were essentially army-installed by Bouterse, who ruled as a de facto leader with few practical checks on his power.
December murders and Moiwana massacre[edit]
On 8 December 1982, a group of fifteen academics, journalists, lawyers, union leaders, and military officials, who opposed the military rule in Suriname were snatched from their beds and brought to Fort Zeelandia in Paramaribo where they were tortured and executed by Bouterse's soldiers. Fourteen of those executed were Surinamese; journalist Frank Wijngaarde was a Dutch national. The events are known as the December murders.
In 1986 Bouterse's soldiers killed at least 39 citizens, mostly children and women, of the Maroon village of Moiwana, as part of the Suriname Guerrilla War which was fought between the soldiers of Bouterse and the Jungle Commando led by Ronnie Brunswijk.
Transition to democratic rule[edit]
Elections were held in 1987 and a new constitution was adopted, which among other things allowed Bouterse to remain in charge of the army. Dissatisfied with the government, Bouterse overthrew them on 24 December 1990, by another coup. This event became popularly known as "the telephone coup". In 1991, elections returned to Suriname where the New Front party gained 41 of the 51 parliament seats. Ronald Venetiaan (a fierce opponent of Bouterse) became president. In 1996, Jules Wijdenbosch was elected as president of Suriname on behalf of Bouterse's party, the National Democratic Party (NDP). In 2000 and 2005 Ronald Venetiaan was elected as president of Suriname. Dési Bouterse returned to power as president in 2010.
National holiday[edit]
Monument commemorating the coup.
After becoming president of Suriname, Bouterse designated February 25, the anniversary of the day of the coup d'état, as a national holiday.[3] On the day of the coup, Bouterse's soldiers burned down the Central Police Station of Suriname. The remains of this building now form the monument of the Revolution where every year on 25 February the coup is commemorated.

Q: How to send a file to the server using XMLHttpRequest and formdata I've checked out a few articals and I cannot seem to successfully send a file to the server using XMLHttpRequest and the FormData object.
When I debug my c# .net code in the pageload of the upload.aspx file the files property of the request object always has a count of 0.
What part am I missing so that I can send files to the server asynchronously?
--HTML
<input type="file" id="upload" accept="image/*" onchange="handleFile(this.files)" name="file" />

--js
function handleFile(files) {

    var fileReader = new FileReader();
    var file = files[0];
    var imageElem = document.createElement("img");
    debugger
    fileReader.onload = (function (img) { return function (e) { img.src = e.target.result; }; })(imageElem);

    fileReader.readAsDataURL(file);

    document.getElementById("images").appendChild(imageElem);

    uploadFile(file);

On This Date in Sports December 10, 1989: Steve Largent 100
Frank The Tank12/10/2018 5:01 AM
In collaboration with the Sportsecyclopedia.com
Steve Largent of the Seattle Seahawks becomes the first player in NFL history with 100 career touchdown receptions, breaking the record of Green Bay Packers legend Don Hutson. The touchdown comes in a 24-17 win for the Seahawks against the Cincinnati Bengals at Riverfront Stadium. It would be the final touchdown of Largent's career as he had already announced his retirement at the start of the season.
The record of 99 career touchdown passes stood for more than four decades as the legendary Don Hutson of the Green Bay Packers retired in 1945 and stood far above any other receiver of his era. As the NFL opened up the passing game, it was only a matter of time before the record would fall, but the first to do it was an unlikely star who helped make football a Sunday ritual in the Pacific Northwest.
Steve Largent was born September 28, 1954, in Tulsa, Oklahoma. After becoming an All-American at the University of Tulsa, Largent was ignored by most NFL scouts. He was not chosen until the fourth round by the Houston Oilers. However, in training camp, Steve Largent was not impressing anyone and was on the verge of being cut, when the expansion Seattle Seahawks swooped in and acquired him for an eighth-round pick in the 1977 NFL Draft.
Going to an expansion team provided Steve Largent the opportunity to play, as he quickly became a fan favorite in Seattle. In his first season, he was the Seahawks leading receiver with 705 yards on 54 catches. A year later had ten touchdown receptions and became Seattle's first representative at the Pro-Bowl in 1978 when he topped 1.000 yards for the first time. Steve Largent would go to the Pro Bowl seven times and was named the NFL's All-Pro team three times, as he helped the NFL succeed in Seattle becoming the first star player and the face of the Seahawks.
Steve Largent was named NFL's Man of the Year in 1988, as he began to write his name all over the NFL record book. Already announcing plans to retire, Largent missed six games with an injury as he needed to get three touchdowns to reach 100 when the year began. He did manage to score in the season opener, before the injury but had to wait until Week 12 to equal Hutson's record of 99 career touchdown receptions.
Facing the Cincinnati Bengals, who entered the game at 7-6, the Seahawks coached by Chuck Knox were out of the playoff hunt at 5-8, but they sought to get the record before the year was over. The Bengals coached by Sam Wyche got off to a 10-0 lead as Boomer Esiason connected with Tim McGee on a 21-yard touchdown pass and Jim Breech made a 24-yard field goal in the second quarter. It was then the Seahawks answered, and Steve Largent got the record on a ten-yard pass from Dave Krieg. The ball was caught in the back of the end zone with Largent getting his toes down. Norm Johnson tied the game with a field goal in the third quarter. On the next drive, Krieg hit Brian Blades on a 60-yard touchdown pass to give Seattle the lead. The Bengals would tie the game in the fourth quarter on an Eric Thomas pick six. However, Curt Warner scored the game-winning touchdown on a one-yard pass from Krieg to give the Seahawks a 24-17 win on the road.
The touchdown in Cincinnati would be the 100th and final of Steve Largent's career. When he retired, Steve Largent held all the major pass-catching records in the NFL, as he held the record for most receptions at 819, most yards 13,089 and most touchdowns at 100. He also had the record for most consecutive games with a catch at 177 games, that ended with his final game.

Monitoring the immune system to save lives.
Click here to view more
The immune system can be both friend and foe; a potent protective force that sometimes overreacts, damaging the body's own cells and tissues in the process. We are working to develop tests that will identify people at high risk of poor outcomes caused by an immune system overreaction to COVID-19 and other infections.
The immune system is comprised of many different types of white blood cell with different functions. The most abundant cells are neutrophils, which serve as the first line of defense. When they detect bacteria, viruses, injuries, or other threats these cells produce Neutrophil Extracellular Traps (NETs)—sticky webs made of long strings of nucleosomes that stop the threat from spreading around the body.
Although NETs are an important part of the body's response to infection, the presence of too many of them in the blood can tip the immune system's delicate balance between reaction and overreaction.
Elevated levels of NETs are a complicating factor associated with poor patient outcomes in a range of infectious and non-infectious diseases.
Supporting intensive care for COVID-19 and sepsis.
Sepsis—widespread tissue and organ damage triggered by an abnormal immune response to an infection—is an area of particular focus for our research on NETs.
A recent global study estimated that there were 49 million cases and 11 million sepsis-related deaths worldwide in 2017, accounting for approximately 20% of all annual deaths.¹
In severe COVID-19 excessive production of NETs in the lungs, can lead to severe lung impairment or death.
NETs contain nucleosomes; our proprietary Nu.Q® nucleosome assays have been shown to detect NETs in minute quantities. This could enable the stratification of patients with a high level of NETs and allow physicians to rapidly triage these patients, monitor their disease progression and response to treatment.
¹https://www.thelancet.com/jour... – accessed 23 Nov 2021
Email for more information
"NETs and NETosis are much more prominent in clinical research currently, driven largely by the COVID-19 pandemic. We are working with academic researchers and leading hospital clinicians to bring Nu.Q® NETs tests to the market as quickly as possible."
Dr. Jake Micallef, Chief Scientific Officer, Volition
The focus on sepsis due to the COVID-19 pandemic has accelerated our research on NETs
Triage and Monitoring
In collaboration with other parties, we recently published evidence that the level of circulating NETs, as measured using Nu.Q® NETs assays, correlates with current disease severity and mortality in COVID-19 patients.
Further, a recent study shows that our NETs-based tests could be used to predict future disease severity and guide treatment selection in patients, on admission. We are also following COVID-19 patients' NETs levels during their illness and recovery.
Monitoring Sepsis Treatment
We have obtained proof-of-concept for Nu.Q® NETs as an effective test to monitor response to a novel treatment for sepsis. Our collaborators on this project, Santersus AG, are developing a therapy that takes the patient's blood outside of his or her body, removes excess NETs, and recirculates the blood back into the body. Our Nu.Q® NETs assays monitor the level of NETs in the blood and are a key part of the ongoing trials of this exciting potential new therapy.
COVID-19 sepsis is clinically similar to sepsis caused by other infections. We are therefore applying everything we learn from our COVID-19 research to trials of our Nu.Q® NETs tests in other forms of sepsis.
Inflammation and Vascular Damage
The levels of NETs that are detected during sepsis are dramatically elevated, but more subtle increases are also seen in non-infectious diseases characterized by inflammation or vascular damage. We are engaged in a number of research collaborations in this area, and recently published findings from a study of NETs-based biomarkers for pregnancy complications.
There is evidence that cancer cells can use NETs to evade the body's immune system as they move to new sites through the bloodstream. Nu.Q® NETs tests therefore have significant potential in clinical oncology, for example to monitor for metastatic disease in high-risk individuals, or to provide an early assessment of whether a treatment is working. We are currently investigating multiple potential avenues for clinical test development in this field.


Welcome to our first ever newsletter.
Llandudno Smiles is one year old this month and we wanted to update you with all our news.
We have had some great comments about the decor and feel of the practice and are really glad that you like it. We are particularly pleased with our "rogue's gallery" on the way to surgery 2. Our friend Jody Kite did the team photos and we had a lot of fun practicing our funny faces.
We are about to launch a scheme to enable us to offer 0% finance for large treatment plans. This will allow you to spread the cost of your treatment and should be available from mid April.
We have been offering Practice Plan as a membership scheme for the past year and as a practice, we think that this works very well. However, there are some of you who used to be with Denplan prior to your move to Llandudno Smiles. We have been surprised at how loyal Denplan patients are to the brand, and want to be able to offer our patients options for their dental care. To that end, we are now happy to offer Denplan as an alternative to Practice Plan. There would be an initial administration cost for the set up but if you would like to change to Denplan then please contact our team for further information.
So far, we have not been able to secure an NHS contract to treat children at the practice and so for the first year we have offered free dental treatment for children up to the age of 12 and a Kids Plan for those over that age.
However, we are not seeing as many children as we would like, and so, moving forwards, we have decided to offer free conservative dental treatment to all children up to the age of 18 providing their parents are registered with us on either Practice Plan or Denplan. This offer would not include any preventative care such as hygienist visits, or cosmetic treatments. Appointments would be limited to weekdays rather than Saturdays. If you have children on a plan and would now like to cancel it, then please contact us.
Congratulations to our nurse Jo, who became engaged to Tim at Christmas. We wish her much happiness.
Congratulations also to Lynsey who became a grandma recently, and to Shirley who is soon to become a grandma. Neither look old enough, but we wish them lots of joy in their new role.
Our therapist, Rosie, has just bought her first house, our hygienist Claira has recently moved to a new house, and Ken and Alison are hoping to move to Glan Conwy as soon as they have sold their Conwy home. Best wishes to all.
Last summer, Ken and Alison travelled to Uganda with the charity Dentaid. A group of 4 British dentists, supported by volunteer hygienists and nurses, worked with a team of Ugandan dentists treating up to 100 patients each day, in make- shift clinics set up in schools and community buildings. They worked hard and loved the experience of working alongside the young Ugandan dentists. They had the opportunity to sit and chat to them about life as a dentist in their country and the different challenges faced. They felt very humbled as they were taught patience and the Ugandans were far better than the British at removing difficult teeth. The Ugandans have no one to refer to, so they just do their best. They work without suction and no electricity. In turn, the Western team taught theUgandans the importance of patient care and showed them how a little friendliness will help the patient enormously.
A few years ago, Ken and Alison set up a dental clinic in rural South Sudan. Sadly, there is war in that country once more and the people and friends there have had to either flee their homes and hide in the forests or attempt to cross the border into Uganda. Amazingly however, medical and dental supplies have been getting through and the dental clinic is functioning but only when safe to do so. We hope for a peaceful end to their conflict soon. People are now starving as they are forced away from their farms and food supplies.
We would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your support during our first year. Many of you have followed us from our old practice in Rhos on Sea and we thank you for the extra effort that you have made in making that change... no mean feat, as we were not allowed to tell our patients where we were going. We were very impressed with your detective skills in finding us!
For those new to us, we hope that you have had a good experience. We thank you for trusting us with your treatment.
We know for some of you your treatment has involved lots of visits and long appointments. We really hope that you have been pleased with the results, some of which have been literally life changing.
We would like to welcome more people like yourselves to our practice. We know that a personal recommendation is worth far more than an advert or brochure, and so we were wondering if you would mind passing on our details to anyone you know who you think would benefit from our high level of dental care and friendly customer service.
As part of our 1-year anniversary, we are offering new patient consultations free of charge, until the end of April. We have enclosed a few vouchers for you to give to your friends and relatives. If you need any more, just let us know. As a thank you, we will put the names of all referees into a prize draw, with the lucky winner receiving a meal for two at the new Dylan's restaurant in Llandudno.
It has been a pleasure welcoming you to our new practice and we hope to continue to serve you for many years to come.

Chris Paul, DeAndre Jordan lead Clippers past Bulls 96-86

CHICAGO (AP) DeAndre Jordan's rebounding was too much for the short-handed Chicago Bulls.
Jordan continued his recent tear with 26 rebounds and Chris Paul had 28 points 12 assists and the Clippers earned a 96-86 victory over the Chicago Bulls on Sunday.
Jordan had 17 rebounds in the first two periods, the most by an NBA player in one half this season.
In his 300th straight game, the longest active streak in the league, the league's top rebounder also blocked two shots and altered several more.
''You look at the stat sheet, you don't see how many times (an opponent) didn't drive because D.J. was there, how many guys went up but didn't shoot because he was there,'' Paul said. ''He should be considered for MVP, but that's how the league works. It's an offensive league.''
''What he's doing defensively, if he was doing that offensively, he would be recognized as the MVP or one of them,'' coach Doc Rivers said. ''But because it's defensively, no one notices.''
Well, almost no one.
''Particularly with Blake Griffin being out for them, (Jordan) is playing at an unbelievably high level,'' Bulls coach Tom Thibodeau said. ''When you look at their team and scoring margin, it tells you how good they are.''
Jordan had at least 15 rebounds in his eighth straight game.
''I agree because I'm a big guy, but others don't. Our league is about points, obviously,'' he said.
Los Angeles was behind 76-75 when Jamal Crawford made a 3-pointer with 8:02 left. It never trailed the rest of the way.
After a scoreless first half, Crawford had 16 points in the final two quarters.
The Clippers extended their winning streak to five in a row in Chicago, the longest in franchise history. They haven't lost there since Dec. 17, 2008.
Rookie reserve Nikola Mirotic scored a career-high 29 points for a short-handed Bulls team that was without Derrick Rose (right knee surgery) and Taj Gibson (sprained left ankle).
And with Jimmy Butler (sprained left elbow) sidelined for most of the second half and Pau Gasol less than 100 percent, Mirotic accounted for all but one of his team's 17 points in the fourth quarter.
Aaron Brooks finished with 14 points, and Joakim Noah had 13 points and 11 rebounds for Chicago.
''Without Derrick, Pau and Jimmy, somebody needed to shoot the ball,'' Mirotic said. ''My teammates were trying to find me. I took some tough shots.''
Los Angeles jumped to a 26-18 lead in the first quarter in which Paul scored eight points and Jordan grabbed nine rebounds. But with Paul on the bench at the start of the second period, Chicago went on a 12-2 run to go up 30-28. Mirotic scored eight of his 11 points in the quarter.
The Bulls shot only 39 percent in the field but managed to stay in the game because of a 22-13 advantage in free throws and a 17-13 edge in offensive rebounds.
''We've just got to find a way to win,'' Thibodeau said. ''It doesn't matter who's out. That was a winnable game down the stretch and we didn't get it done.''
The Clippers improved to 2-1 on their four-game road trip. The Bulls lost for the third time in their past 10 games.
TIP-INS:
Clippers: Matt Barnes was expected to sit out at least one game because of a strained right hamstring. He suffered the injury on a failed steal attempt in the second quarter and played with a limp the rest of the way. ... Griffin (right elbow surgery) sat out a ninth consecutive game. The Clippers have a 6-3 record with Spencer Hawes as his replacement in the starting lineup. ... Rivers remembered former New York Knicks forward Anthony Mason as a ''great teammate.'' Mason died of heart problems at 48 on Saturday. ''He was so tough and so loyal,'' Rivers said. ''We had a pretty crazy group when you think about Anthony Mason and John Starks and Greg Anthony and Patrick Ewing and Charles Oakley and Anthony Bonner all on one team. I was the saint on that team.''
Bulls: Butler's status was unknown pending the results of an MRI on Monday. He ran into a Jordan pick three minutes into the second half and did not return. .. A moment of silence was observed for former White Sox star Minnie Minoso, who died earlier in the day. ... The home team wore its red Los Bulls uniforms as part of the league's annual Latin nights program.
Clippers: Visit Minnesota on Monday night.
Bulls: Host Washington on Tuesday night.

Political Figure / Prime Minister of the United Kingdom
Best Known As:
British prime minister, 1997-2007
Name at birth: Anthony Charles Lynton Blair
Tony Blair became the youngest British prime minister of the 20th century when he took office in 1997. He led Britain for a decade until stepping down in 2007. Tony Blair was born in Scotland but spent much of his childhood in Durham, England. He studied law at Oxford and then practiced law until 1983, when he was elected as member of Parliament from Sedgefield. Blair was a member of the Labour Party, which at the time was dominated politically by the Conservative Party of Margaret Thatcher. Blair was soon a rising star of what became known as the "new Labour" movement, with positions more centrist on fiscal affairs and social issues like crime. He became leader of the Labour Party in 1994, and three years later was named prime minister, replacing John Major, when Labour won a Parliamentary majority. Tony Blair was 44, making him the youngest British prime minister since Lord Liverpool in 1812. (Blair was often compared with the sitting U.S. president, Bill Clinton, who was 46 when he took office in 1993.) Tony Blair was re-elected in Parliamentary elections in 2001 and 2005, although his latter years in office were marked by controversy over his partnership with American President George W. Bush and support for the war in Iraq. He stepped down as the prime minister on 27 June 2007 and was succeeded by the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Gordon Brown.
Tony Blair's wife Cherie is also a lawyer. She is the daughter of the actor Anthony Booth and a distant relation to John Wilkes Booth, assassin of Abraham Lincoln… Tony and Cherie Blair have four children: Euan (b. 1984), Nicky (b. 1986), Kathryn (b. 1988) and Leo (b. 2000). According to Tony Blair's official biography, Leo "was the first child born to a serving Prime Minister in over 150 years"… As a college student, Blair played in a rock band called Ugly Rumors.


Traditionally there are two forms of reasoning which have been found useful.
1. Induction, which looks at the particular and tries to arrive at viable generalisations from direct observations. Induction is the search of pattern in the chaos that is presented to the senses.
2. Then there is deduction, which starts from the general, from assumptions, and then uses these to build a castle of inferences. In other words it starts with the general and works itself to particular instances.
The calculation of the target of a missile would involve induction insofar as it needs experience to find the various different elements that would affect the path of a projectile. It would involve deduction in applying the resulting laws of dynamics to calculating the exact path of a particular missile in a particular set of circumstances. The induction in this case was initiated by Galileo, who founded the science of dynamics and deduction is done by the ballistic expert intending to push the button.
The natural sciences like to think of themselves as inductive, while mathematics is almost purely deductive. Technology lies in between. Charles Sanders Peirce, a philospher in America from the beginning of the century decided to add the word abduction to this pair. Abduction is the creative roaming around in hyperspace whereby we look for possibilities and hypotheses in a creative way.
Furthermore he made what I have always thought of as a wonderfully useful distinction.
"Oneness, Twoness, and threeness" You might well laugh at this stage. But actually these categories stand for an interesting way of looking at things. For Peirce Oneness stands for the thing itself. Twoness stands for the relationship between the thing itself and the world around it, i.e. its place within the web of connections. Threeness, stands for the language, or the logic, with which both are represented.
There is a cat, there is the cat as an animal, and there is the word cat.
That is a simple illustration of what he means. From it the discipline of linguistics derived the three main categories of language: semantics, which is concerned with the meaning of the words, syntactics, which is concerned with the word and its role and place within the sentence and pragmatics, which is concerned with the way texts are interpreted and used by the reader.
By dividing things in this way you learn to focus on the way object in your experience are placed. Each category has a different way of looking at the object. It is related to Ferdinand de Sausure's interesting division between the sign and the signifier and the fact that the all words exist on the basis of the difference between them. Rember the idea that the dictionary is circular, well Jacques Derrida's philsophy rests on the assumption that meaning in a text is not related to a fixed reality, but to other texts. This makes meaning ambiguous and unstable.

Many long lasting projects have delivered the desired objective and minimized dependence on GHCL with an ownership of relevant stakeholders including the beneficiary community. Themes chosen for our CSR projects are derived out a formal need assessment process and are undertaken in areas where we want to build capacity of the community to be self-reliant and independent.


India's top-archers were forced to return from international-airport in Delhi on Saturday morning after their trip to Medellin-World-Cup in Colombia had to be cancelled due to closure of Pakistan's-airspace. "The KLM airlines staff told us that all their flights were getting delayed by two-hours due to closure of Pakistan's-airspace, and that we wouldn't be able to catch our connecting flight from Bogota," Deepika told.
As voting for the second phase of polling started on Thursday morning, Congress president Rahul Gandhi urged voters to "vote for Nyay" (justice). Gandhi also appealed to voters to vote for justice to the unemployed youth, struggling farmers, small businessmen and those who were persecuted due to their religion or caste. He used the hashtag "VoteNyayVoteCongress" with his appeal.


The chillier months of the year are known for an abundance of apples, and for apple cider. Apple cider has been made right on the farm as far back as Roman-era Britain. The famous trees that Johnny Appleseed planted across the Midwest were intended to be harvested to make cider.
Today, when fall is in the air, you can find cider for sale. Many of the places featured are farm stores, and while some are open year round, others are only open seasonally. Be sure to check on specific hours and dates, before you go.
Their "farm stand" is an indoor-outdoor market offering apples, other fruits, jams and fruit butters, flowers, and more. You can head up the hill to the large apple orchard in season and pick apples, in September and October. The market is open year-round. While you are there, be sure to also sample Wrights Farm's famous apple cider donuts, which they have been making fresh daily since 1904.
The Inn On Lake Superior is neither a farm stand nor country store, but rather an Inn where you can stay and enjoy a beloved tradition. It is their complimentary hot apple cider. From the first day of fall until the first day of spring, you will be greeted by the aroma of delicious hot apple cider. They brew their famous recipe fresh daily—make the most of the season by enjoying a mug on your next stay!

Episode 40 – Dr. Rick Strassman
This entry was posted on July 5, 2015

RICK STRASSMAN M.D. holds degrees from Stanford University and Albert Einstein College of Medicine of Yeshiva University. He took his internship and general psychiatry residency at the University of California, Davis, Medical Center in Sacramento and he spent ten years as a tenured professor at the University of Mexico he performed the first new human studies with psychedelic drugs in the US in over 20 years. His research involved the powerful naturally-occurring compound, DMT – N,N-dimethyltryptamine. Led to this substance through his earlier study of the pineal gland as a potential biological locus for spiritual experiences, he administered several hundred doses of DMT to approximately 60 volunteers between 1990 and 1995. He wrote about this research in the popular book, DMT: The Spirit Molecule, which has sold over 100,000 copies, has been translated into 12 languages, and is now available as an audio-book. It also inspired an independent documentary by the same name, picked up by Warner Bros distributing in Fall, 2011. With three distinguished collaborators, he co-authored Inner Paths to Outer Space, which looks more carefully at the common "other worlds" experience that volunteers frequently reported during his research.
Rick Strassman was born in Los Angeles, California in 1952. He attended public schools in southern California's San Fernando Valley, and graduated from Ulysses S. Grant High School in Van Nuys in 1969. As an undergraduate, he majored in zoology at Pomona College in Claremont California for two years before transferring to Stanford University, where he graduated with departmental honors in biological sciences in 1973. During summers in college he worked for RedKen Laboratories, developing cosmetics and a line of hair dyes, and also performed laboratory research at Stanford, on the development of the chicken embryo's nervous system. He attended the Albert Einstein College of Medicine of Yeshiva University in the Bronx, New York, where he obtained his medical degree with honors in 1977.
Dr. Strassman took his internship and general psychiatry residency at the University of California, Davis, Medical Center in Sacramento, and received the Sandoz Award for outstanding graduating resident in 1981. After graduating, he worked for a year in Fairbanks, Alaska in community mental health and private psychiatric practice. From 1982-1983, he obtained fellowship training in clinical psychopharmacology research at the University of California, San Diego's Veteran's Administration Medical Center. He then served on the clinical faculty in the department of psychiatry at UC Davis Medical Center, before taking a full-time academic position in the department of psychiatry at the University of New Mexico School of Medicine in Albuquerque in 1984.
At UNM, Dr. Strassman performed clinical research investigating the function of the pineal hormone melatonin in which his research group documented the first known role of melatonin in humans. He also began the first new US government approved and funded clinical research with psychedelic drugs in over twenty years. Before leaving the University in 1995, he attained the rank of tenured Associate Professor of Psychiatry, and received the UNM General Clinical Research Center's Research Scientist Award.
In 1984, he received lay ordination in a Western Buddhist order, and co-founded, and for several years administered, a lay Buddhist meditation group associated with the same order. Dr. Strassman underwent a four-year personal psychoanalysis in New Mexico between 1986 and 1990.
He has published nearly thirty peer-reviewed scientific papers, and has served as a reviewer for several psychiatric research journals. He has been a consultant to the US Food and Drug Administration, National Institute on Drug Abuse, Veteran's Administration Hospitals, Social Security Administration, and other state and local agencies. In 2007 he founded, with Steve Barker and Andrew Stone, the Cottonwood Research Foundation (www.cottonwoodresearch.org).
From 1996 to 2000, while living in the Pacific Northwest of the United States, Dr. Strassman worked in community mental health centers for Washington State in Bellingham and Port Townsend. For the next four years, he had a solo private practice in Taos, New Mexico. After two years working on the edge of the Navajo Reservation in Gallup NM, he returned to northern New Mexico in 2006, where he served at a mental health center in Espanola. Since mid-2008, he has been writing full-time.
He currently is Clinical Associate Professor of Psychiatry at the University of New Mexico School of Medicine.
Since 1996, Dr. Strassman has been exploring models for the DMT effect focusing primarily on the Old Testament concept of prophecy. Prophecy is a spiritual experience which takes into account the apparently external, free-standing nature of the DMT "worlds," in which one's sense of self is highly preserved and interactive. The Old Testament concept of prophecy provides an alternative to other models that borrow more heavily from Eastern religious systems, and those of Latin American shamanism. The notion of prophecy also deals directly with ethical and moral concerns, adding a crucial element to our ability to understand and integrate the content of the psychedelic experience.
Dr. Strassman is currently Clinical Associate Professor of Psychiatry at the University of New Mexico School of Medicine. He is also President and co-founder of the Cottonwood Research Foundation, which is dedicated to consciousness research.
In this episode we talk to Dr. Strassman about his new book DMT and The Soul of Prophecy. We discuss the implications of his research – some of the struggle it took him to get the research done and we cover what it may mean for DMT to serve as the biological basis for spiritual experience.

From Dr. Strassman's Website: In this book, I tackle the major unresolved issue with which I was left after finishing my DMT project nearly 20 years ago. This was to find a model that fit the data from our volunteers' reports of the drug state. This ultimately led me to the Old Testament (Hebrew Bible) where the notion of a "prophetic state of consciousness" began taking shape. At the same time, in order to make sense of the Hebrew Bible, I turned to the classic medieval Jewish philosophers like Maimonides, who proposed rather sophisticated metaphysical/spiritual mechanisms for the prophetic experience. Thus, to the extent that the prophetic and DMT states resembled each other, I could propose metaphysical and spiritual mechanisms in common in addition to shared biological mechanisms.
"DMT: The Spirit Molecule," is now available onNetflix, Amazon and iTunes. Nearly 5 years in the making, the film condenses over 80 hours of interview footage with cutting-edge computer-generated imagery to capture critical elements of the DMT experience.

 Public Speaking Nerves: What's Not To Love?
Public Speaking Nerves: What's Not To Love?
I used to be so nervous when I had to give a talk.
I remember one occasion years ago. I'm involved in a charity and we decide to hold an event at my house.
There's a guest speaker and all I have to do is introduce him. The living room's packed and it feels hot, intimate, intense. People are stuffed like sardines on the sofa; armchairs and kitchen chairs are all occupied and everyone feels too close. Maybe this adds to my nerves, I'm not sure.
When I step forward, my knees tremble and my palms sweat. My heart beats faster and faster and as I speak I become breathless and rush my words. My voice gets strangled in my throat till eventually I run out of voice altogether. A hot blush steadily rises in my cheeks and as I struggle on, I catch the eye of a friend. His gaze is so sympathetic it almost feels worse like I'm in particular need of help or rescue or something equally humiliating.
I get through and I sit down in a daze and the relaxed, competent guest speaker smoothly takes over and I recover somehow. Sound familiar?
Like me, perhaps you actually like public speaking, in fact you think you're quite good at it. You may even like being the centre of attention but for some infuriating reason you get so nervous that your body literally lets you down and makes sure you do a rubbish job. You think if only you could control your nerves, getting up to speak in public would be a pleasure. You'd be relaxed, speak persuasively, intimately. You'd have a nice, chatty style. You'd be yourself, only more so. It would be just like speaking to a few friends at the pub or round your kitchen table. You'd slow down and be able to connect brain to vocal chords. You might even tell the odd joke. You'd be in control and it would all be so easy.
If only that pesky body of yours would behave. Yes, life would be so much easier if your body would only do what it was told.
I know that's what I used to think – that my body was the enemy. And not just when I spoke in public. But at other times too – in meetings or negotiations. Especially in the workplace. Wherever I wanted to look competent and in control. Then my body betrayed my anxiety and my fear. And I worried that others would notice and then they'd know I was nervous or frightened.
So it's ok to feel nervous or frightened – is it just not ok to show it?
It's another occasion much more recent and I'm taking part in a Ginger training day and I'm enjoying it and I'm fine – except as I sit there on my chair waiting to go on, my heart's doing that old familiar thing which is beating much too hard and fast. I get up to speak and yes, my knees are shaking.
I stand in front of my group and there's a moment of realisation and I simply say, 'My knees are shaking and I feel nervous'.
I pause and study the expression on their faces. They don't look shocked or hostile and they don't look sympathetic either. What they look is interested. And I realise that unbelievably my knees have stopped shaking and my heartbeat has slowed right down. I give my talk and I don't feel nervous. I just give my talk. And that's how I combated my nerves. By naming what I feel, by acknowledging the tumult in my body. By instead of trying to cover up what was going on for me, simply accepting and acknowledging my natural human responses without judgement or shame.
It's logical and normal to feel scared when you're in the spotlight and all eyes are on you. It's a primitive response harking back to ancient times when finding yourself stranded in alien territory surrounded by enemies meant your body's early warning system alerted you to danger and told you to run, freeze or fight.
None of those responses are helpful when we speak in public. But the physical manifestation of public speaking nerves is a powerful, wonderful reminder that we're stepping out of our comfort zone and doing something big. We can thank our bodies for reminding us of that amazing fact. We can channel those nerves in to boldness and bravery. We can take pride in stepping forward and being seen even though it feels scary. And we do this not only for ourselves but for all those others who long to stand up and be seen yet who feel shame that in so doing others may see their fear.

Hospital cost-cutting measure was factor in pensioner's death
Coroner's court heard that an attempt to clean up urine using haztab granules led to a release of chlorine gas which was a contributing factor in a patient's death
Chris Caulfield
Chlorine gas released during a spillage clean-up at Ashford and St Peter's Hospitals was a significant contributing factor in the death of a patient, according to a coroner.
William Kent, 90, of Chestnut Grove, Staines, was admitted to hospital following a fall in 2012 and was being nursed back to health at the time.
The inquest at Woking Coroner's Court last Thursday (January 23) was told that an attempt to clear up spilled urine played a part in Mr Kent's death.
One of the nurses on the ward noticed the spillage and went to clean it.
It had become practice on the ward not to use towels to clean up spillages, on the grounds of cost, so instead she went to a store room and collected 'haztab' granules designed to clear away blood and stains.
But these tablets should not be mixed with urine as they react and produce chlorine gas.
The nurse told the court: "I put granules on the floor. I left them for 10 minutes.
"I came back to clean up the granules and noticed that my eyes were quite watery.
"It was like going to a swimming pool."
The tablets, she said, had been used before to clear up spills and she thought it was fine to do so in this instance.
Dr Karen Henderson, the assistant coroner for Surrey, found that Mr Kent was generally faint of health and his heart condition was also considered to be a contributing factor in his death.
However, she said it was clear that the chlorine gas was a significant contributing factor.
Ashford and St Peter's chief nurse Suzanne Rankin responded to the conclusion by saying: "Firstly, I would to say that our thoughts are with Mr Kent's family.
"We are sorry for their loss and for the distress caused at what is already a very difficult time.
"We have only just received the coroner's findings and are awaiting a more detailed notice from them, which will guide our next steps.
"In the meantime, we would like to reassure Mr Kent's family that we have taken this incident very seriously and as soon as the problem with the cleaning granules was discovered, we removed them from use in our hospitals.
"We also reviewed our infection control and cleaning policies to ensure that all housekeeping and ward-based staff know what to do in the event of a spillage.
"Going forward, we will be looking at our infection control training, specifically ensuring that staff know which cleaning products should be used in different situations.
"We have already been in touch with Mr Kent's family and would be very willing to arrange further contact if they would find it helpful.
"We would like to assure them that we have already made several changes as a result of this incident and will be quickly implementing any further learning across our hospitals."
