Your guide to Prince Philip's funeral service that he tailor made for himself
Borne by a Land Rover and in the presence of his family and representatives of the military establishment that was so close to his heart, Philip's body will be taken to the steps of St George's Chapel, Windsor.
Based on details released by Buckingham Palace yesterday, this is how his funeral service will then take place next Saturday afternoon.

The Service begins with the coffin carried to the catafalque in the Quire.
Albert Memorial Chapel
Philip's body is believed to have been moved here.
The chapel was created by Queen Victoria in honour of her husband, Albert, in 1875.
Portraits of the couple's nine children were included among decorations of gilding, marble, mosaics, precious stones and coloured glass.
King George VI Memorial Chapel
It is widely believed the Queen wishes to be buried alongside Philip here.
The bodies of her parents, George VI and the Queen Mother, as well as the ashes of her sister, Princess Margaret, are interred here.

Prince Philip's Standard knits together his rich lineage and personal history. The flag is quartered into Denmark, Greece, Mountbatten and Edinburgh
His personal standard
Prince Philip's Standard knits together his rich lineage and personal history. The flag is quartered into Denmark, Greece, Mountbatten and Edinburgh – representing the two royal families he descends from, as well as his surname and title.
Born into the Greek and Danish royal families, he renounced his right to either throne when he became a British subject before his marriage to Princess Elizabeth at Westminster Abbey in 1947.
Denmark is represented on the standard by three blue lions passant and nine red hearts on a yellow field, while Greece consists of a white cross on a blue field.
Before his wedding, he adopted his mother's surname of Mountbatten, represented by five vertical stripes. After his marriage, he was designated a Royal highness and became the Duke of Edinburgh. The city is represented by a three-towered castle.
Buried in his Naval finery
Philip is expected to be buried in his ceremonial naval uniform.
Traditionally, this includes a ceremonial day coat with aiguillettes – long strands of weaved gilt thread – worn on the right shoulder, the Royal Cypher and Sleeve Lace Distinction Marks of Rank consisting of rows of gold lace with a circle (or 'curl'); gold-laced trousers; white, long-sleeved shirt; black socks; black shoes; white gloves.
His coffin will be draped with his personal standard, and decorated with a wreath of flowers and his naval cap and sword.

'Just stick me in the back of a Land Rover and drive me to Windsor': Prince Philip is granted wish to be taken to funeral in 'specially modified' vehicle as nations prepares for a Royal goodbye like no other
By Ian Gallagher for the Mail on Sunday
In typically insouciant fashion, Prince Philip often remarked to the Queen when discussing his funeral: 'Just stick me in the back of a Land Rover and drive me to Windsor.' Now it transpires that his wish will come true.
Buckingham Palace yesterday announced that a 'specially modified' Land Rover, which the Duke himself helped design, will carry his coffin on its final journey on Saturday.
In a Royal funeral like no other, the eight-minute procession will begin at the state entrance of Windsor Castle, ending at nearby St George's Chapel.
Once there – at 3pm – there will be a national minute's silence heralding the start of a no-frills service attended by just 30 members of the Royal Family.
The Duke had always insisted that he wanted minimal fuss but he was, nevertheless, a traditionalist and some may find his choice of hearse surprising.
Aides are confident, however, that his playful final act will find favour with a nation that has long celebrated his occasional irreverence.

In 1948, King George VI, the Queen's father, was presented with the 100th vehicle off the first Land Rover production line and the Royal Family has had a love affair with them ever since.
Such has been the Duke's close association that Jeremy Clarkson once dubbed the Land Rover 'an automotive Prince Philip'.
Two years ago, the Prince had a remarkable escape after his Land Rover collided with another car near Sandringham House.
Buckingham Palace confirmed yesterday that Philip will have a Royal ceremonial funeral similar to that of the Queen Mother in 2002. A period of national mourning, which began on Friday, will continue until Saturday.
The funeral plans were approved by the Queen who, along with the rest of her family will wear a face mask at the service. The congregation will observe social-distancing rules for the service, which will be televised live.

Former MI5 chief in charge of 'Operation Forth Bridge'
Lord Parker of Minsmere, who became Lord Chamberlain of the Household after previously serving as Director-General of MI5, is just ten days into his new job, but will play a key role in Operation Forth Bridge
A former spymaster will be responsible for overseeing the Duke of Edinburgh's funeral planning.
Lord Parker of Minsmere, who became Lord Chamberlain of the Household after previously serving as Director-General of MI5, is just ten days into his new job, but will play a key role in Operation Forth Bridge – the codename for the Duke's funeral plan.
Once described as 'the safest pair of hands in Britain', he guided MI5 through a series of Islamist attacks in 2017 and the Salisbury poisonings in 2018. He hosted the Queen's first visit to MI5's headquarters in London last February.
While the Lord Chamberlain will remain in overall control, it is the Lord Chamberlain's Office – headed by its Comptroller, Lieutenant Colonel Michael Vernon – which will deal with the practicalities. A former Extra Equerry to the Queen, Col Vernon previously served in the Coldstream Guards.
The Office draws up funeral plans years in advance and is expected to be working round the clock over the next week.
Vice Admiral Sir Tony Johnstone-Burt, the Master of the Queen's Household and one of 22 loyal staff who formed 'HMS Bubble' around the Queen and the Duke during the pandemic, will also play a key role as will Sir Edward Young, the Queen's private secretary, who will be the bridge between the Monarch and the Government.
The Land Rover bearing the Duke's coffin – draped in his personal standard, a wreath of flowers and his naval cap and sword – will be followed by the Prince of Wales and other senior Royals on foot.
The Queen has decided that the Royal Family will enter two weeks of mourning and mourning bands will be worn by its members. The entire funeral will take place within the grounds of Windsor Castle.
Public elements of Operation Forth Bridge – the codename for the Duke's funeral plans – were abandoned for fear of drawing crowds, including long-held arrangements for military processions through London and Windsor.
A Palace spokesman said: 'This event will be much reduced in scale with no public access. In line with Government guidelines and public health measures, there will be no public processions and the Duke's funeral will take place entirely within the grounds of Windsor Castle.
'The plans have been given final approval by the Queen and reflect appropriately Government advice. Despite these necessary changes, they still very much reflect the personal wishes of the Duke.
'Although the ceremonial arrangements are reduced, the occasion will still celebrate and recognise the Duke's life and his more than 70 years of service to the Queen, the UK and the Commonwealth.'
On Saturday, the Duke's coffin, accompanied by the Dean of Windsor and the Lord Chamberlain, will be moved from the Queen's private chapel of worship to the State Entrance of Windsor Castle by a Bearer Party of The Queen's Company, 1st Battalion Grenadier Guards.
On the grass in the Castle's Quadrangle will be representative detachments drawn from Philip's military special relationships, including the Household Cavalry and The Foot Guards.
The Band of the Grenadier Guards, of which Philip was Colonel for 42 years, will lead the procession to St George's Chapel, followed by the Major General's Party, and then the Service Chiefs, reflecting His Royal Highness's close relationship with the military.
Minute guns will be fired by the King's Troop Royal Horse Artillery from the East Lawn of Windsor Castle for the duration of the procession, and the Curfew Tower Bell will toll.
The Duke, who died peacefully last Friday, is believed to have requested his favourite seafarers' hymn, For Those In Peril On The Sea. At the end of the service a Psalm and the 'ashes to ashes' text will be read as a piper plays a lament. The coffin will lie in the Royal Vault until the Queen dies.
She wishes to be buried beside him, her parents – King George VI and Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother – and sister, Princess Margaret, in the tiny adjacent George VI Memorial Chapel. On her death, Philip's coffin will be interred alongside her there.
St George's Chapel is the resting place of ten monarchs. Steeped in history, the 15th Century gothic church, set in the Lower Ward of the Queen's favourite residence, has seen many Royal funerals and weddings.
They include the marriage of the Duke of Sussex and Meghan Markle, now the Duchess of Sussex, in May 2018 and the wedding of Princess Eugenie to Jack Brooksbank in October 2018.
As well as the scene of Royal celebrations, it has also been a place of sadness for the Windsors.
The funeral of Princess Margaret took place there in 2002, as did the private committal service for the Queen Mother the same year.
It was meant to be so much grander: How pandemic means Prince Philip's send-off will be even more low-key with the expected guest list of 800 people reduced to 30
By Caroline Graham for the Mail on Sunday
Prince Philip had requested a 'no-fuss' funeral with an aide once reportedly saying he 'did not see himself as important enough' to lie in state.
According to protocol, as the Queen's consort, the Duke will still be honoured with a ceremonial Royal funeral, as the Queen Mother was given in 2002 and Princess Diana in 1997.
But the pandemic means the send-off will be even more low-key with the expected guest list of 800 people reduced to 30 close family and friends.
The original plans were drawn up years ago under the code name Operation Forth Bridge.
His coffin should have been transported from St George's Chapel in Windsor to the Chapel Royal at St James's Palace in London. There, the Royal Family and Household would have been able to pay their respects.
A book of condolence would also have been opened at Buckingham Palace and other Royal locations.
The day before the funeral, his coffin – surmounted by his Naval sword, cap, personal standard and a wreath of flowers – would have been moved from the Chapel Royal to the Queen's Chapel within St James's Palace. The Prince of Wales and members of the Duke of Edinburgh's household would have been present.
At 12.15pm on the day of the funeral, eight days after the death, Prince Philip would have begun his final journey out of London. The coffin would have been moved to Wellington Arch on a gun carriage and transferred to a Royal Navy Land Rover.
At 12.45pm, the procession would have departed the capital for Windsor by road, where it was scheduled to have driven through the Berkshire town before arrival at the castle.
The procession would have been accompanied by the Royal Naval Pipers and the Duke of Edinburgh Rifles. Plans to have a mixed age choir of 12 men and up to 23 boys have also had to be abandoned.
The occupancy inside St George's Chapel is 1,000 and the guest list was due to include representatives from foreign royal families, Great offices of State, Parliament, the Diplomatic Corp, the Civil and Diplomatic Service, charities the Duke was involved with and his Household staff.
The plans took years to arrange and the Duke was understood to have been wryly amused that many of those involved ended up dying before him.

The Pro Billet Grip is now available as a standalone accessory to upgrade any AR-patterned weapon. This is the same grip featured on our TEAM model rifles – the rifles used and endorsed by 4 of the world's best 3-Gun Nation competitors.
Cobalt Kinetics consulted with an orthopedist in the development of the Pro Billet Grip's angle and contour – no other manufacturer of AR grips has made that claim. Our billet grip provides for better trigger control and improved wrist and arm positioning. The extra mass in the grip serves to shift the rifle's balance point closer to the shooter. The result is better handling and inherent accuracy from your rifle. We confidently and authoritatively submit that our grip is the best grip available for the AR-15; and a necessary improvement for any shooter seeking tactical superiority.

Thanks, Cheri, for a perfect theme for this first photo challenge in the new year. As we end 2015 and begin 2016, this is a great time to reflect on the past year and look ahead to the next.
Like many of us, I used to think that time was a straight line, a linear progression from point A to point B. My concept of the human lifespan was linear too–beginning at birth, racing through middle age, and slowing down in old age. But the longer I live here on this earth, the more I realize that our lives are guided by the circle. I recognize the wisdom of ancient matriarchal societies, where the circle was honored in architecture and religion, and used as a tool for self discovery. So with no further delay, here's my collection of images which feature the circle in art, nature, religion, and architecture.
Circles in Art: Shot in the Modern Wing, the Art Institute of Chicago. This image reminds me that all living creatures are on the "endless round"–a circular path from birth to death repeated throughout the ages. It also reminds me that no age is better than another. Youth and beauty have their place, but there is joy and wisdom in mid-life and beyond.

Circles in Nature: Tropical Berries. Cocoa Beach, Florida. The circle is present throughout the natural world. It's not surprising that it is a symbol of perfection, like the wild berries in the photo below and in the rainbow.
Berries with Fresco Filter, Florida. Shot with a Canon 70D.
Circles in Religion: A Madonna in Volturara Irpina, Italy. This beautiful mural of the Madonna and Child is in the local church in Volturara Irpina, where my grandfather grew up. You can see the circle motif in the halos, crowns, jewelry, and other religious iconography.

Circles in Architecture: Circle Motif on the Street in Chicago. The circle is a powerful architectural motif, which is pleasing to the eye, perhaps because it signifies wholeness and completeness.
As 2016 begins, I am reminded of the wisdom of the matriarchal religions. They remind us that life isn't a contest to reach the finish line with our good looks still intact and as much money as we can accumulate. Instead, it is a challenge to discover who we are, to open our hearts to include others who are different from us, and to figure out how we can best contribute to the world to make it a tiny bit better and kinder. This is in fact my ongoing personal challenge for this year.
Have a wonderful 2016, everyone! I hope we all can bring a little bit more light and compassion into the world this year.
Lovely,take on the the,e Patti, I like your take on life's non-linear nature. Happy new year to you!
Hi Happyface! Many thanks for your kind words. And all the best to you too in 2016.
Hi Jackie. Thanks so much! Yes, Schweitzer said this in a similar quote. I wish we could go back to Paris and walk the labyrinth again in Chartres Cathedral. It always reminds me of the circular path in life. Have you ever walked it? I'm always on the hunt for other circular paths like that.
I think your selection is great! I also shot those berries when I was in FL. The Circle Design is also very nice.
I love the first two photographs, Patti. The second one is especially good and a beautiful shade of purple.
Hi Jean. Thanks so much! The purple is real–no Photoshop! I was struck with the color too when I saw the berries on the trail.
Gorgeous photos, Patti, and calming meditations on the beauty and mystery of circles. I love the painting and the exquisite colour in those berries.

There are some numerical values (e.g. years) that would only be correlated to the target variables if they are changed as well.
My code runs smoothly but once I encode one of the numerical features the following way:

StudioCanal is developing a World War II movie about U.S. and German soldiers teaming up for a rescue of French prisoners near the end of the war in the Austrian Alps.
The French company has acquired movie rights to Stephen Harding's "The Last Battle: When U.S. and German Soldiers Joined Forces In The Waning Hours Of World War II In Europe." The Picture Company's Andrew Rona and Alex Heineman will produce with Bryce Zabel, who adapted the book.
Harding's book, published in 2013 by Da Capo Press, describes a mixed force of U.S. Army, German Wehrmacht and Austrian resistance fighters acting together to prevent the recapture of 14 French prisoners being held at Itter Castle. An SS assault party had been ordered to retake the prison shortly after Adolf Hitler's suicide in April, 1945.
The prisoners included two former French Prime Ministers, two former commanders of the French military, the son of former prime minister Georges Clemenceau and Marie-Agnès de Gaulle, sister of General Charles de Gaulle.
The news about "The Last Battle" was first reported by Deadline Hollywood.

[1005b]  Natural philosophy is a kind of Wisdom, but not the primary kind.As for the attempts of some of those who discuss how the truth should be received, they are due to lack of training in logic; for they should understand these things before they approach their task, and not investigate while they are still learning.Clearly then it is the function of the philosopher, i.e. the student of the whole of reality in its essential nature, to investigate also the principles of syllogistic reasoning. And it is proper for him who best understands each class of subject to be able to state the most certain principles of that subject; so that he who understands the modes of Being qua Being should be able to state the most certain principles of all things.Now this person is the philosopher, and the most certain principle of all is that about which one cannot be mistaken; for such a principle must be both the most familiar (for it is about the unfamiliar that errors are always made), and not based on hypothesis.For the principle which the student of any form of Being must grasp is no hypothesis; and that which a man must know if he knows anything he must bring with him to his task.
Clearly, then, it is a principle of this kind that is the most certain of all principles. Let us next state what this principle is."It is impossible for the same attribute at once to belong and not to belong  to the same thing and in the same relation"; and we must add any further qualifications that may be necessary to meet logical objections. This is the most certain of all principles, since it possesses the required definition;for it is impossible for anyone to suppose that the same thing is and is not, as some imagine that Heraclitus says1—for what a man says does not necessarily represent what he believes.And if it is impossible for contrary attributes to belong at the same time to the same subject (the usual qualifications must be added to this premiss also), and an opinion which contradicts another is contrary to it, then clearly it is impossible for the same man to suppose at the same time that the same thing is and is not; for the man who made this error would entertain two contrary opinions at the same time.Hence all men who are demonstrating anything refer back to this as an ultimate belief; for it is by nature the starting-point of all the other axioms as well.
1 For examples of Heraclitus's paradoxes cf. Heraclitus Fr. 36, 57, 59 (Bywater); and for their meaning see Burnet, E.G.P. 80.


Chairman Degnan, Director Foye. Commissioners. I appreciate the opportunity to speak.
A bicycle is a resilient, sustainable and cost effective means of transport — one that deserves equal consideration with mass transit and the automobile.
Earlier this month I'm coming home from a very long ride when I pull up to next to an Escalade Hybrid. The driver and I exchange pleasantries and check out each others' ride. Later I looked up the specs.
The Escalade weighed 6000 pounds, had a pair of 60 kilowatt electric motors in addition to a 332 horsepower V8 and gets 20-something miles per gallon on the highway.
My bike and I weigh 185. I can generate 0.2 horsepower while burning 34 calories per mile or 912 miles to the gallon.

Perhaps he'd waited on gas lines after Superstorm Sandy and wanted a "Plan B".
Maybe his kids shared homework on global warming and secured a promised that daddy's next car would "help save the planet". Consider the analogy as you prepare to re-up your lease on the George Washington Bridge.
Gas lines in Woodbridge, NJ. Image AP.
In the aftermath of Sandy, which crippled primary means of transport, bike traffic across East River Bridges spiked from 13,000 trips per day to 30,000. Fortunately, the routes had been developed over the preceding decade; the commuters had become accustomed to cycling; and the bridges themselves had capacity to absorb the surge.
Knowing that severe weather will disrupt future travel, and that the GWB is the only the bike-able connection between North Jersey and NYC, shouldn't the Authority provision for its use as part of a regional "Plan B"?
Williamsburg, Manhattan and and Brooklyn Bridges. Image Streetsblog.
The "hybrid" option would also help Port Authority "save the planet" — or at least help meet its 2050 greenhouse gas reduction goals.
An enhanced GWB would add enough cycling capacity to reduce annual gas consumption by 100,000 gallons and greenhouse gas emissions by 900 metric tons. That's more than 15% of what NYDOT claims for its Clean Pass program for low emission vehicles (LEV) for the entire 40 miles of the Long Island Expressway.
And considering that it takes takes two trips by a low emissions vehicle to offset a regular vehicle vs.one by bicycle, expand cycling capacity certainly would be far more cost effective than the $2.25-7.75 per trip subsidy that PA currently affords LEVs under Green Pass.
– Estimated annual capacity of Cyclists' Proposal is 5,000,000 trips per year, or ten times current use of 500K bike trips per year.
– By 2024, when the GWB paths are due to fully re-open, EPA will require cars and light trucks to average 54.5 miles per gallon.
– In 2006, NYS DOT estimated that the Clean Pass Program for low emission vehicles for the entire 40 miles of the Long Island Expressway would result in savings in excess of 500,000 gallons of gasoline and the reduction of 6,000 tons of greenhouse gas emissions.
– Clean Pass Vehicles eligible are those whose estimated US EPA highway rating of least 45 miles per gallon and meet the California Super Ultra Low Emissions Standard (SULEV).
– Effectively, by 2024 when cars will be significantly more fuel efficient, Cyclists' Proposal would create capacity to offset 20% of the annual fuel savings and 15% of the reductions to GHG emissions accorded to the Clean Pass Program for the entire 40 mile length of the Long Island Expressway.

I watched a show worth watching the other night. On FX, called 30 Days. This episode saw the show's creator, a West Virginia native, travel home to live and work as an apprentice coal miner for 30 days. It was a reality show that actually seemed real — no one was voted off, no one dissed anyone else or slept around, no one was competing for anything, except maybe the chance to stay alive to go home and do it all again the next day.
The show actually presented a balanced view, showing both sides of the enviornmental issue (mine operators and environmentalists) as well as interviewing miners themselves. Most came from generations of coal miners. All were in it for the money ($60,000 a year, about the only industry in WV with that kind of paycheck). Most said they really loved their jobs (can you imagine?). Yet, all said they didn't want their kids to end up in the mines, and said their fathers had said the same thing. All the wives worried every day about their husbands', fathers', brothers' safety and health. Ultimately, the miner the producer stayed with, a supervisor at the mine, was found to have the early stages of black lung (after steadfastly boasting that his last test, 7 or 8 years ago after 25 years in the mines, was perfectly clean). His older brother was already disabled from the disease. (This is the same guy who writes his wife a note EVERY DAY before he leaves for the mine at 2:00 a.m. to tell her how much he loves her. In case he doesn't make it back, that's the last thing she'll hear from him.) Would he quit working now? (no) Would he wear a respirator now? (no) It was all just business as usual. And a dirty business it is, but an honorable one. These are the people who make it possible for me to power up my PC every day and earn MY living. It makes you think.
It's always interesting to see how the other half lives, but especially when the half isn't some "celebrity" famous only for being rich or good-looking or having a pimped-out crib. Real people doing real jobs that impact every one of us. Refreshing. Sobering. Worthwhile. And on TV no less. Imagine that.
and a hundred virtues which the idle never know.
Yes, I often think that with all the brainpower and technology we have in this country, we can solve this energy crisis either by making coal cleaner or improving electric cars or improving mileage with regular gas — something!

Q: How can i target properties in an array of objects I'm building a simple card game in vanilla JS.
I have an array of card objects:
let cards = [
    {value: "4", suit: "Hearts", weight: 4, cardFace: "🂴"},
    {value: "K", suit: "Clubs", weight: 10, cardFace: "🃟"}
]

How can I target all cardFace properties at any index in cards so that I can display them in my HTML document?
I hope I'm making sense.

A:
You can use Array.from method

let cards = [
    {value: "4", suit: "Hearts", weight: 4, cardFace: "🂴"},
    {value: "K", suit: "Clubs", weight: 10, cardFace: "🃟"}
];

let result = Array.from(cards, card => card.cardFace);
console.log(result);

A: You can simply access them directly:

let cards = [
    {value: "4", suit: "Hearts", weight: 4, cardFace: "🂴"},
    {value: "K", suit: "Clubs", weight: 10, cardFace: "🃟"}
]

console.log(cards[0].cardFace);
console.log(cards[1].cardFace);

You can also do this in an index-based for loop:

let cards = [
  {value: "4", suit: "Hearts", weight: 4, cardFace: "🂴"},
  {value: "K", suit: "Clubs", weight: 10, cardFace: "🃟"}
];

for (let i = 0; i < cards.length; i++) {
  console.log(cards[i].cardFace);
}

Another option is a for ... of loop, which is more readable imo. This one also uses ES6' Object destructuring:

let cards = [
  {value: "4", suit: "Hearts", weight: 4, cardFace: "🂴"},
  {value: "K", suit: "Clubs", weight: 10, cardFace: "🃟"}
];

for (const { cardFace } of cards) {
  console.log(cardFace);
}

You can also create a new array from cards which has only the color values:

let cards = [
    {value: "4", suit: "Hearts", weight: 4, cardFace: "🂴"},
    {value: "K", suit: "Clubs", weight: 10, cardFace: "🃟"}
]

const colors = cards.map(card => card.cardFace);

console.log(colors); // ["🂴", "🃟"]

A: You can access to object field with .  like this:
object.field
In your case you can use:

let cards = [
    {value: "4", suit: "Hearts", weight: 4, cardFace: "🂴"},
    {value: "K", suit: "Clubs", weight: 10, cardFace: "🃟"}
]

cards.forEach(card => {
  console.log(card.cardFace);
})

Q: Is my response correct? My recruiter started his email with phrase : I hope you're doing well.
Is it correct to reply : Thanks, I am doing well and I hope you're doing well too.

A: The grammar of your response is correct. However, pragmatically the question by your recruiter is quite possibly  a polite formula, as Mike has hinted. The recruiter probably has little actual  interest in your wellness, except as it might directly affect your ability to do your job. Therefore, you can  consider the sentence as one that needs no response. Instead, you should get right to the matter that you want to tell the recruiter.

Making Sense of Evidence
Medical research in the news media
Medical research in the news media is a controversial topic. We know from nationally representative survey research that most people find out about new scientific research through mainstream news reports (either in print, on the web, on TV or on the radio). The same research tells us, however, that a majority of people do not feel very well informed about science despite reading the news.
Journalists and editors come in for quite a lot of criticism from many for doing a poor job of conveying information to the public about medical science. The news is criticised for being too sensationalist, for publishing false information about health studies, for simplifying and exaggerating research findings, and generally for dealing with the complexity and built-in uncertainties of scientific knowledge very badly indeed.
Researchers in journalism, who try to understand the reasons why health news is like it is, have identified a number of science "news values" –the things which journalists find valuable when choosing what to write about – which help explain why some of these problems exist.
These values, which can also be seen as common trends in health reporting, include the following:
Reporting uncertainty badly
Science does not generate knowledge about which we can be 100% certain. It deals in probabilities, rather than certainties. The news media, which involves producing lots of quick copy under intense deadline pressures, often exaggerates the certainty of science to make a story seem more interesting (so a medical research paper about a marginal risk of cancer in mice from drinking wine under lab conditions, may get written up in the news as proof that wine causes cancer in humans);
A focus on health risks
Even though much medical research finds no evidence of risks to people, the news tends to report studies which claim to find evidence of potential harm. This can give people the wrong idea when evaluating risk, making them think the world is a far more dangerous place than it actually is;
A lot of health news (necessarily) translates complicated ideas for popular consumption in order to make it more meaningful. But problems can arise when medical science is simplified so much that the news distorts what scientists actually found;
Attention to conflict and controversy in science
Serious disagreement between scientists, or between scientists and others (such as religious groups or campaigners) are rare, but they tend to get covered a lot which can make science seem more uncertain and controversial than it is most of the time;
The use of "human interest" angles to tell health stories
Personalising complex science can be a really good way to translate medical knowledge into everyday language, but it can also interfere with accurate science communication. This is especially the case when the stories of individual patients are used to suggest medical science has got something wrong (e.g. telling the story of just one person who thinks they got health problems after being immunised, when the scientific evidence, often based on studying effects on many people under strict conditions, tells us a vaccine is safe).
Many of these problems can be partly explained by the fact that most news outlets are money-making operations which need to make a profit. Commercial news outlets make money in two main ways: they sell news to the public; and the sell the public's attention to those who buy advertising space from them. Either way, capturing and keeping a reader or viewer's attention is often directly linked to financial rewards for the news company. Many journalists, then, tend to produce news in this way because these "news values" make it more attractive to readers.
They are probably right. Unfortunately all of these issues often conflict with the important job of communicating complicated science accurately and clearly to the public.

How do successful people spend money? I've interviewed a few young men who are influential in the online community about how they handle money: Pat Flynn of Smart Passive Income, Dustin Hartzler from YourWebsiteEngineer.com, and now John Lee Dumas.
John Lee Dumas is the Host of the top ranked podcast EntrepreneurOnFire where he interviews today's most inspiring and successful Entrepreneurs 7-days a week.
He founded Podcasters' Paradise; a community where Podcasters can create, grow, and monetize their podcast. EntrepreneurOnFire generates over 550,000 unique downloads a month with past guests such as Seth Godin, Tim Ferriss, Barbara Corcoran, Gary Vaynerchuk, and Guy Kawasaki.
By the way, I'm an active member of Podcasters' Paradise and have contributed to the course with a video about PrettyLink, a WordPress plugin that is used in every episode of the MoneyPlan SOS podcast.
John and Kate, his business partner and girlfriend, pull down more than $100,000 a month in net profit ($102,000 in May alone). While income doesn't classify someone as wealthy, he certainly has made enough to qualify himself to tell us how wealthy people handle money.
But what about the leased car?
I was most surprised that John Lee Dumas leases a car. Why? He makes plenty of money to be able to purchase a new car every year without damaging his net worth.
Then I did the math: His monthly lease payment is $190 a month. That is .001% of his monthly income.
.001% of an American household bringing home $60,000 a year is $5 a month.
What this means is the ratio on John Lee Dumas's car lease IS LITERALLY LIKE A STARBUCKS COFFEE each month.
It is rare but occasionally a debit card program is cancelled. We experienced this last year with PerkStreet, the only debit card program with Perks.
The good news is the money is still yours. The only question is how to get access to it.
PerkStreet: The parent company of PerkStreet, Bancorp, transferred the account to be under their brand. They even offered 1% on all balances for the first few months after PerkStreet closed their doors last September (2013).
BTW: GREAT NEWS! PerkStreet customers who accrued more than $15.00 in unredeemed Perks were issued a check in June 2014. Read more about it here.
Suze Orman's Preferred Card: According to the New York Times, Suze Orman's Preferred Card will be discontinued on July 1, 2014. The Preferred card was a pre-paid debit card with a few benefits like free credit reports and credit monitoring. You can do this yourself as shown in this 4-minute video.
Customers of Suze Orman's Preferred Card are asked to spend the balance to zero. Those who don't will receive checks in the mail for the remainder.

As information is continually captured and stored, primary storage solutions quickly reach capacity, meaning more investment is needed. This unanticipated investment in additional hardware is typically capital expenditure and can cause significant budgetary pressures.
The situation can be exacerbated if a business subsequently needs to scale back for any reason. Add to this, the ever-growing need for increased data security and 24/7/365 data access, and it's clear that archiving data to physical media, transporting that media offsite and storing it for long periods in a dusty vault, is no longer fit for purpose.
Cut management costs and liberate your IT team.
Redstor delivers simple-to-manage, highly scalable, long-term cloud archiving-as-a-service.
What is your biggest archiving challenge?
Is your archived data available instantly?
The time has come to ditch legacy technologies such as magnetic tape and expensive, clunky archiving solutions and swap them for simple, scalable, and instantly accessible cloud archiving.
When you archive files of any size (including databases) with Redstor, a tiny stub file is left behind on primary storage. This stub represents the original data but consumes almost zero disk space. When one of these stubs is opened by a user or application, InstantData™ rehydrates the portion of the file that is accessed, serving the file or database up immediately, on demand, and effortlessly to the user or application.
secure Redstor data centres, guaranteeing data security. So now, instead of submitting IT tickets or sending a member of staff to access data stored on magnetic tapes (yes, all of them!) users simply click the file they want and continue working seamlessly 24/7/365.
No more archive headaches, or stretched IT staff – just simple, efficient, and immediate archive access for your workforce and the systems they rely on.
We can help you radically reduce the threat posed by malware and minimise the potential for data breaches, whilst making downtime a thing of the past. With Redstor, you can quickly and easily restore data to its original location or a new location of your choice. And, you can complete ad-hoc file recoveries or full system restores at any time and as often as required, at no additional charge. We ensure your data is always available, instantly.
The days of high storage costs, siloed data and difficult data access are over. Every day we help more than 40,000 customers around the world simplify the task of backing up critical business data and systems. Our pioneering data management solution offers rapid data restoration and enables organisations to easily meet Recovery Point Objectives and Recovery Time Objectives to ensure their business is 'always-on'.
Hosted in Redstor's secure data centres, your archived data can be streamed instantly and on demand from the cloud using our InstantData™ technology.
Redstor archiving technology overcomes the challenge posed by ROT (redundant, obsolete or trivial) data by fully automating the archiving process, whilst ensuring that the user experience remains unchanged.
that meets specified criteria – giving you complete control of what's archived and when, and liberating your IT team to focus on more strategic priorities.
Is your archived data difficult to search or gain insight from? Is redundant obsolete and trivial data clogging up your primary storage?
Well, it's time for Redstor. Our search and insight technology allows you to discover, search and action all your unstructured data on any device. The outcome is total control and centralised visibility across your entire data estate. It couldn't be easier to gain complete visibility of your data, identify your risks and create opportunities to cut costs.
Using our InstantData™ technology, you can access and manage all your data immediately – with a simple, monitorable, and auditable trail continually produced.
We often have document management requests to retrieve data from our archive, and only the other week I restored data from 3 years ago. With Redstor it was as simple as drag and drop. With tape, that data would have been unrecoverable.
Marc Toovey, Technical Manager at Boyes Turner.
Which of the following could you benefit from the most?
We are disrupting the world of data management with our pioneering technology, which provides visibility and streamed, on-demand access to all your data, wherever it is stored, through a single control centre.

★My Beautiful Birds
by Suzanne Del Rizzo
With the arrival of Syrian refugee families in many Canadian communities, parents and children alike are charged with trying to understand the harsh experiences these new classmates and neighbours have undergone. The compassionate and beautiful new picture book from Oakville, Ontario, illustrator Suzanne Del Rizzo – the first for which she has created both pictures and text – imagines a Syrian child and his family driven by war into a refugee camp.
While the others settle into the new realities of life in the camp, sensitive Sami is unable to recover, expressing his trauma through grief for the pet pigeons he had to leave behind. He tries to paint a picture of his pigeons, but covers their coloured feathers with smears of black, then tears the painting to pieces. When four wild birds fly into the camp and respond to Sami's attention, they break through the little boy's isolation and misery. By the end of the book, Sami has reconnected with life, and is even able to reach out to help a new child arriving at the camp.
Del Rizzo bases her story on an account from the Zaatari refugee camp in Jordan of a child finding solace in some wild birds there. She wisely focuses on what Sami sees and feels without trying to explain too much of the context, relying instead on her visuals to provide this information. The first images of the sky over his former home, glowing with flames and explosions, give way to the beauty of the desert skyscapes in which Sami sees the colourful plumage of his beloved birds. These skilful and imaginative illustrations – created with Plasticine, polymer clay, and other media – give a sense of dimension, which is enhanced by striking and unusual perspectives. My Beautiful Birds is a lovely, timely book

OTHER NEWS & EVENTS
Clive Pinder: Insights on Digital Health – A US Perspective
Clive sits on the Commercial Advisory Board of Ieso Digital Health and is a passionate advocate for the competitive advantage that can be realised by using digital technology to transform the delivery of healthcare. Over recent years he has both advised and invested in a number of businesses, including Imperative Health (sold to AXA), NW London NHS Trust, College of Contemporary Health, Bupa, AmericanWell, Healthwise and Healthbox. He is also involved in social enterprise projects in East Africa, which gives him a unique perspective on private and public healthcare eco-systems around the world. Clive was previously Managing Director of vielife, which he developed and sold to Cigna, Managing Partner at KPMG's 'Digital Business' practice and Client Partner at Viant, which was recognized by Fortune Magazine as one of the 'Best Managed Hi-Tech Companies' in 1999. His work has also been recognised internationally by Time Magazine and the American Broadcasting Company and he has contributed to two best-selling books on the digital economy.
This month Clive gave Coulter:Pulse his analysis of the Digital Health market in the USA:
US Healthcare
The key differences in healthcare in the USA are both the huge scale and complexity of the system and its nature typically as a free market. Significant opportunities and significant barriers present themselves as a consequence. By contrast in the UK socialised medicine represents the biggest buyer of healthcare and it is to a large degree a managed market. Nevertheless it is wrong to assume this means there is only one buyer. With the NHS divided into hundreds of CCGs and hospitals that buy individually, it's not simply a case of selling a solution just once to one customer. Ultimately the end user is a living breathing human, whose physiology is the same whether American or English, and solutions should effectively be the same to this customer. But the way in which we reach that patient, the way healthcare is monetized and the business model that is adopted is what makes the difference. Key to any service is who is going to pay for it.
Another obvious difference that contributes to the complexity is legislation. Clinical compliance in the US is controlled by federal agencies in much the same way as in the UK we have NICE, but in the US medical boards vary state by state and the US is not a single market for the delivery of healthcare. A digital health platform like Ieso's for instance, can be used by a clinician in a US state, but not in another state unless licenced there by that state's medical board. Medical devices need to have FDA approval and HIPAA compliance sets the standard for protecting sensitive patient data. Regulatory bodies are aggressive in penalizing companies who do not comply.
Digital Health Innovation and Investment
The open nature of the US market drives more innovation than would be found in a system like the NHS which is not competing for customers. For payers or providers in the US competition for customers is typically fierce. And scale is an additional factor, with some 18% of GDP spent on healthcare in the US in contrast to 9% in the UK. Funding is much more sophisticated and readily available and the inherent advantage of market size attracts investors. The US is an excellent proof-of-concept or pressure test market. If you can make it in America you should be able to make it anywhere and bigger risks are taken for bigger rewards.
Investors in the US understand risk and are often seen as more entrepreneurial than counterparts in the UK who have built success traditionally in industry or manufacturing. A great deal of new money has been made in high risk new technology environments. The biggest funds these days are mainly found in the northeast corridor between New York and Boston, in the Silicon Valley and in big centres like Chicago, Atlanta, Nashville and Tennessee. More mature than the Life Science clusters that are growing in the UK, US regions have developed centres of medical excellence and healthcare ecosystems that have grown up around them. An example is around Minnesota, where the Mayo Clinic is based. My sense is that on the west coast VCs are more interested in massive consumer driven solutions and are more B2C oriented, whereas on the east coast investors are predominantly interested in clinical B2B (and then C) style businesses and the whole healthcare ecosystem.
Drivers in Digital Health
Personalisation:
Digital technology allows us to tailor messaging and treatment to individuals rather than mass populations. Now that we can analyse DNA for instance, we know that people's responses to drugs can vary depending on their DNA. There is evidence for example that statins don't work for people with certain DNA structures . Within 20 years doctors will be able to check before prescribing any medication to patients and optimise it for their DNA.
While medicine is generally applied to cohorts and uses randomised control studies, the idea of tailoring care to an individual rather than to a cohort requires a fundamental shift in approach, both in how we treat and how we communicate with patients.
Because of social media and because we understand so much about an individual's behaviour we can now reach people with a particular medical condition much more easily than we could 15 years ago. Even for obscure diseases there are likely to be user groups and the more data we can collect, the more we know about these communities and the more easily we can leverage what is sometimes termed "the long tail" to start segmenting people into communities and target them more easily . People may then also seek support from communities or individuals facing the same conditions in order to "self-care".
Diagnosis is based on pattern learning and recognition, an area where machines excel. Machine learning and artificial intelligence provide the way forward to improve productivity and outcomes, but educating medical professionals on the benefits is a major challenge and a significant barrier to innovation. While technology is developing in quantum leaps, doctors' education is going through slow cycles of innovation. Of course there will be cases where the old "poke and prescribe" model is still required, where a doctor can't diagnose without seeing the patient. But in many geographies with booming populations poorly served by low numbers of healthcare professionals such a model is just not practical in this day and age. Digital health solutions like Ieso's are paving the way for significant advances in treatment – people with mild to moderate anxiety or depression may be treated by therabots , overseen by real-time clinical supervision, within the next five years.
Progressive GPs do not see such developments as a threat. Many recognise that 60% of those who come into their surgery don't need to be seen by them. They could either self-diagnose, be seen by a practice nurse or indeed by a pharmacist. The concept of allowing technology to triage people to increase productivity is now gradually finding favour.
Technology can enable system integration too and avoid the duplicated form filling that has traditionally prevailed at every point of care. American Well, a large US telehealth provider now connects people instantly with doctors over secure video and provides immediate urgent care web visits for patients in 46 states. Integrated systems enable patients to be swiftly referred to a relevant specialist on the spot by the primary care physician . Allowing 'on demand' collaborative care and bringing specialists together in real time obviates the need for patients to schedule a follow-on visit or travel to another health centre and would deliver significant potential improvements in productivity and customer satisfaction.
Remote Care:
We are now moving towards remote care and "on demand" care, all enabling patient empowerment. Patients live in an on-demand world and expect to access healthcare in the middle of the night just as they can book a holiday or transfer funds in the middle of the night. Diabetics these days are able to self-manage and self-medicate, supported by real-time monitoring. I can see a time when everyone will be self-monitoring via a subcutaneous device or taking a daily pill that helps them closely monitor their own health.
Talent and Digital Health skills
In the US doctors have always also been business people and it's the norm to find clinicians who are commercially more competent than in the UK. The new CEO of Ieso, Dan Clark, is a clinician by background but also a businessman. Ultimately if you're in the healthcare business clinical quality is everything and it is critical to be able to tick the box of clinical efficacy. Clinicians with business skills are therefore in great demand. Healthcare is perhaps one of the biggest challenges facing humanity today and while we've used technology to dramatically improve every other major aspect of our lives (transport, banking, shopping) there is still a sometimes Luddite approach in healthcare. The best way to drive economic efficiencies and improve clinical outcomes is to optimise demand and control supply, and technology is a proven means to this end.
My advice to IESO has been that to scale and grow rapidly they need to be in the US market. And with globalisation, technology is now revolutionising healthcare in many of the developing areas of the world, in India, Africa and China. Just as banking in East Africa has been transformed by mobile fund transfer applications such as M-PESA, healthcare too is seeing significant advances. Primary healthcare providers are looking to technology in these parts of the world; Babylon Health's project in Rwanda for instance enables users to have virtual consultations with doctors and health care professionals via text and video messaging through its mobile application. The service will ultimately allow users to receive drug prescriptions, referrals to health specialists, and book health exams with nearby facilities. We are seeing technology slowly taking over much of the mundane work that doctors used to do, despite resistance from some who see it as a threat and a disruptor of their traditional modus operandi. In the US they refer to this as 'enabling clinicians to manage to the top of their licence'. Finally I believe that Consumer empowerment will be key for the future of healthcare worldwide. Technology can enable consumers to take greater control of their own healthcare in a safe and more economically efficient model, and clinicians to provide more personalized and automated care.

'Nothing like a real hug.' Minnesota mom, son reunited after months apart in quarantine
A Minnesota radio host has resigned after verbally attacking another DJ on the air.
Aaron Imholte, who has been with WHMH-FM in Sauk Rapids since 2014, had dedicated much of his Nov. 20 broadcast to ridiculing Heather Lee, co-host of "Fish & Heather," a new morning program on Lazer 103.3 FM in Des Moines.
Imholte lit into Lee, claiming that he had applied for the Iowa gig and that Lee was unqualified for the job.
"I'm upset that a girl was allowed on a morning show," he said on his "Steel Toe Morning Show" on WHMH, aka Rockin' 101.
Lee, who was previously broadcasting at a Hubbard Radio-owned station in Seattle, said she could tolerate the digs about her on-air performance. But she balked at the personal insults, which included vicious comments on her weight and age.
"We will bury her in the ground. This chick is toast," Imholte had said on the air. "We're bullying today."
Steel Toe Morning Show/Rockin' 101
Aaron Imholte
At one point, Imholte urged his listeners to start a rumor that Lee uses the "N word" in her personal life.
"Those were the types of things I found predatory," Lee said in a phone interview Monday. "Comments inciting your fans to defame me on top of demoralization? That's crossing the line."
Last week, Lee posted excerpts of the "Steel Toe" show on the SoundCloud service, triggering an online campaign to get Imholte ousted. A video from TikTok contributor @ohitstori_d in support of Lee has been viewed more than 279,000 times.
Imholte posted his resignation on Facebook on Nov. 25.
"I do not want my actions reflecting poorly on the wonderful team at a family-owned company that is under siege because of my actions," he said in his message, according to Radio Insight. "I apologize to Heather at Lazer 103.3 and the entire team. I wish them and their families all the best. This is the best move I can make for me, my family, and so I can have peace.
"If the people who were offended want to consider this a cancellation, or a victory, I understand, I would do the same. I ask a truce. I made A LOT OF PEOPLE upset and that is not why I do radio."
A few hours later, Imholte deleted the posting.
During an e-mail exchange Monday, Imholte adopted a different tone. He now says he was the victim of a "hatchet job" with Lee purposely taking his jokes out of context.
"They know they pulled a dirty move," he wrote in the e-mail. "We are a comedy show built on sarcasm and satire. We did a segment two days previous lecturing guys that women have a terrible time in bars and how crappy it must be to go out and have to watch your drinks and hang out in groups because of the creepy things guys do.
"The herd mentality doesn't decipher those things. They know only blood lust. They got me off the radio, but they pushed me out of a nest I needed to leave."
Imholte has now moved his program to the Twitch streaming platform, where he says the response has been "amazing."
"The way I was treated was very gross," he wrote. "What I said would be horribly offensive if I meant a word of it. My audience knows that was in jest and in performance. No wonder radio didn't get it."
Officials at Tri-Country Broadcasting, which owns WHMH, did not respond to an interview request.
Lee said that she's confident she did the right thing, especially after hearing from many people from the St. Cloud area.
"It became clear that this man created a bully culture in this town where his followers seem to be brainwashed," she said. "They don't seem to understand what is a joke and what isn't allowed."

Teleportation and time travel have ignited our imagination for over a century and yet, in so far as I know, neither technology currently exists. While we wait for science reality to catch up with science fiction, there is one way we can and do experience these phenomena, and that is over the holiday period.
Star Trek is the prime example of teleportation used as an effective mode of transport with more favourable outcomes than those depicted in, say, The Fly. My childhood of long car rides and my adult life of even longer plane rides have been plagued with teleportation fantasies.
H.G. Wells created a Time Machine for his intrepid protagonist to travel into the future. The younger version of me was never impressed by this. What is the point of having a time machine if you don't go into the past to see dinosaurs? A waste. Like buying an expensive sports car just for driving around town.
Of course the car as a time machine in Back to the Future made perfect sense for traveling to places with both fuel and roads. The DeLorean may not cope in dinosaur times but I would be willing to give it a go.
Traveling through both time and space is a tantalizing prospect made famous in Doctor Who with the TARDIS. The possibilities of combining the two concepts in one clunky police box are seemingly endless and surely warrant further research.
Recently, teleportation research has yielded impressive results. Although so far this involves teleporting the state of a particle up to a few meters and not, for instance, me with my luggage to somewhere over the other side of the world. Useful for super-fast internet, not so much for avoiding airport lounges.
As for time travel, there is still much conjecture about whether or not it is even possible. But it is. Because every year at this time many people experience what could only be described as being teleported through time and space. They enter a time warp around December 24th and the next thing they know, it's early January.
What happened during that between-time is never clear. Only fuzzy memories remain of being very, very full but still finding room for pudding, of being surrounded by lots of people who look vaguely familiar, and, at one point, there being a lot of pretty bright lights and a feeling of heartfelt love for whoever was standing next to them at that moment.
This is the first year for many years that I haven't worked through the between-time and it's been amazing. I need to document this time for future reference because certainly by next week it will feel as though I never left work. Which is kind of like traveling through time and space.
I think I'd prefer a TARDIS.

The 23rd session of the Conference of the Parties (COP23) to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) took place in Bonn in 2017, where transport was prominently featured through a series of events hosted by the Marrakech Partnership for Global Climate Action (MPGCA). The vision of the Paris Agreement will continue to guide the development of the next two conferences till 2020 and there is now a greater sense of urgency to complete the work programme under the Paris Agreement.
For the first time since the creation of the ITF MRTs on transport and climate change, key outcomes from the Roundtable discussion this year could serve as an input to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) dialogue in preparation for COP24. This Roundtable serves as a platform for transport Ministers to present and discuss existing mitigation measures, actions and progress on reducing transport carbon emissions with leaders in the private sector and international organisations.
The transport sector plays a major role in reducing global carbon emissions and transport Ministries play an important role in ensuring successful implementations of climate action. What mitigation measures has your country already implemented? Has your country faced barriers to implement them? Are these measures triggering behavioural and technological change? What actions are taken by the transport sector? How can we stimulate the transport sector? How can we foster the exchange of best practices and knowledge transfer to decarbonise the transport sector?
The transformation of urban passenger transport is one priority action in the short term to decarbonise transport. In what ways can the transport sector, public transport in particular, scale up ambition and speed up climate action? What kind of best practice could be shared across cities and countries?
Decarbonising transport requires the identification of the right kind of investment and financing. What areas of investment are proving the most effective in carbon mitigation? What kind of assessment and evaluation tools do countries need to make sound infrastructure investment decisions, especially in an era of technological change?
