Head (Tête)
(Spanish, 1881-1973)
© Estate of Pablo Picasso / Artists Rights Society (ARS), New York
This head is filled with multiple profiles and perspectives, most notably seen in the opposing profiles formed by the red and tan forms in the center, each with its own eye. A third eye appears on the left side of the face. The continuous line that flows through the painting reflects the semiautomatic drawing technique Picasso developed around 1924, a creative method that influenced the Surrealists. The combination of distinctly different profiles and displaced eyes may also reflect the influence of tribal art of the Pacific Islands greatly admired by Picasso and the Surrealists. While the woman's features resemble those of Picasso's mistress, Marie Thérèse Walter, she may not have been the model since they reportedly did not meet until January 1927.
Pablo Ruiz Picasso (1881-1973), the most prolific and influential artist of the 20th century, shifted the emphasis of art from its traditional concern with beauty toward radical innovation. The son of an art teacher, Picasso demonstrated remarkable talents as a child and entered the royal art academy in Madrid at age sixteen. Less than a year later, he abandoned his studies and soon joined several avant-garde artist and anarchist groups in Barcelona and Paris. After passing through a succession of stylistic periods, most notably the Blue (1901-1904) and Rose (1904-1906) Periods, he collaborated with Georges Braque (1882-1963) in 1908 to invent Cubism, a revolutionary method of restructuring pictorial space. Picasso remained active until his death in 1973. Although his art still appears radical, many of his works are over one hundred years old. Cubism, perhaps the most important development in 20th-century art, was invented around 1908 by Pablo Picasso (1881-1973) and Georges Braque (1882-1963). The most revolutionary aspect of the style was not its obvious emphasis on geometric form; rather, it was the introduction of a radically new approach to configuring pictorial space. Since the Renaissance, artists had used various methods to create the illusion of distant space receding behind the canvas surface. The Cubists rejected that idea and collapsed space by compressing foreground, middle ground, and background into a continuous web of overlapping, intersecting planes. During the 1910s, other painters and sculptors embraced or adapted Cubism to their own ends. This revolutionary approach inspired a host of related movements and continues to influence the visual language of artists, architects, and designers throughout the world.

In a wireless communication network, it is possible to locate a user and track its trajectory based on its transmission, during communication with access points. This type of tracking leads to the breach of a user's location privacy. Prior solutions to this problem enhances user's location privacy at the expense of communication Quality of Service(QoS) degradation. In this paper, we propose silent cascade to enhance a user' location privacy by trading users' delay in silent cascade for anonymity. As a result, it avoids the problem of QoS degradation in prior solutions. Furthermore, we abstract silent cascade as a mix-network based formal model, and use this model to evaluate the performance of silent cascade. Study results prove the effectiveness of silent cascade under different types of QoS requirements. Besides, we also derive the optimal configuration of silent cascade to achieves target anonymity within minimum duration of time. and the theoretical upper bound of a silent cascade's anonymity.


Connie, a Bidayuh mother of three from Kg. Suba Bandar, Kuching started beading in early 2014 when her husband got sick and could not work. A friend of hers posted pictures of her beadworks on Facebook which got the attention of one of DAP's candidates; Mordi Bimol.
Mordi decided to pay her a visit and found out that Connie's handiwork was good but limited in design because she could not afford to purchase the materials needed to increase the variety. He taught her how to promote her product via social media and expand her circle of network to sell the beadworks. He then encouraged her to buy more beads and produce some samples.
With the encouragement, Connie has gone on to rope in more women to teach them how to bead. Around 150 participants have attended these workshops; single mothers, full-time housewives, poor families from different villages.
The proceed from the sale of this product will help supplement their income for their families.

Growth. This is actually all we are meant to do. To live, and to grow. To grow and to learn. To learn and to live. The cycle continues further and further as we age. We keep building, and making mistakes, and then learning, and then rebuilding some more.
It is incredible to think of where we have started from and where we already are. Take a moment to actually connect to how far you have come. Think about all the obstacles and times you have felt stress in such a state and worked your way through it. If you are still in it, trust the process that you will get out of it just like you did before.
Growth is a fundamental part of our being. Even the worst times in our lives somehow become this ionic time of self-development. Yet people resist growth in such a way all the time. Do you think you allowing yourself space to grow? Or are you resisting?
We need to be clear on one thing: growth requires change. Change is the only constant in our life. Yet people resist it to the best of their abilities. Possibly the most powerful thing you can do for yourself, is accept that change is part of your life. It's part of my life too.
Hey, I didn't move to Australia to be where I am. I came here to what I thought would eventually be a family. That idea turned really fast and I had a choice. Either pick up and move home, or believe that there was another reason to be here other than love. Months later, it has become more than I ever thought. But I had to trust the change and welcome a new idea into my head.
We all have this option. Change is challenging for us because more often then not, change occurs under stress. Yet change requires stress for us to thrive in it. If we don't feel stressed we won't make action. The best thing we can do for ourselves, is become a little more accepting and comfortable with the idea of stress. It can work for us so long as we keep it at bay.
How can you become more comfortable with stress? Start with the small things. Take driving for example. How annoying can some people be on the road? Try to chill your road rage. Try to find and rage within yourself that you can relax on. Where does your OCD lie and can you relax? This practice helps to cultivate observation over reaction. You can begin to observe your feeling of stress over that driver, and then you see that instead of reacting you have a choice. A choice to change your behavior.
This is just a small example that you can practice throughout your life. Who do you wish to become? How will you react in a stressful situation? Why is this important? Because in order to accept change, we must be able to push through the stress. Only then will we truly grow.

Family and friends in special tattoo tribute to 'legend' Raymondo after his shock death
They have had 'Raymondo' inked on their bodies in memory of Stone tattoo artist
Jonathan Bamber
Relatives and friends of a popular tattoo artist who died suddenly have had his signature inked on their bodies.
Burslem-born Ray Jones - who ran Raymondo's Tattoo Parlour and Art Studio, in Stone - died on April 12 after being struck down with illness.
The 71-year-old former Grenadier Guard was working just a day before his shock death.
Now family and friends have had his nickname, 'Raymondo', tattooed on their bodies by Stone tattoo artist, Craig Blakeman, at his Entity Tattoo Studio, in Church Street.
Family and friends of Stone tattoo artist Ray Jones have had 'Raymondo' inked on their bodies after his sudden death on April 12.
Daughter-in-law Tina O'Connor said: "His death was quite sudden and he was working the day before he died.

"We used to have a good joke between us. I used to only drink half a cup of tea but he once made me drink it all after he had dropped his teeth in the bottom of the cup!
"I have had his signature above his work on my right arm. He was the nicest grumpiest person you would ever want to meet. We are grateful to Craig for giving his time for free. He and Ray became good friends over the years."
Tina's daughter Jamie O'Connor, aged 20, of Stone, said: "I have had his signature at the bottom of the piece of work he did down my left side. He was a really good tattooist. He was known as grumpy grandad. He is going to be missed by us all.

Grieving relatives lead tributes to popular tattoo artist Raymondo after shock death
Granddaughter Amy Morris, aged 23, of Stone, said: "All my tattoos were done by him - except this one."
Her husband Chris Morris, aged 24, said: "Ray did a lot of my tattoos. I was always happy with his work."
Former Grenadier Guard Ray Jones
Stepson Shaun O'Connor, aged 46, plans to have Ray's signature inked on him later this week. He said: "We are all going to miss him. Ray's brother, and a few other people, are on about having his signature done.
Apprentice tattoo artist's 'unsafe and unclean' working conditions put customers at risk
"He was well known for his daily trips to Morrisons and once his Staffordshire Bull Terrier, Fran, escaped from the car and ran into the store looking for him. He used to regularly buy half a chicken from the deli counter and sit in the car and eat it with the dog."
Ray's funeral will be held at St Michael's Church, Church Street, Stone, at 10.30am on May 9.
Tattoo artist Ray Jones
Shaun's best friend, Chris Plant, aged 46, of Stone, has had Ray's signature at the bottom of his left leg. He said: "I knew Ray for 33 years and he was a good friend. I would call in his studio for a coffee. I am going to miss him."
Former kitchen showroom transformed into tattoo parlour
Anthony Mander, aged 48, of Stone, said: "I have had his signature at the top of my right arm. Ray first tattooed me more than 20 years ago."
Ray's friend, Kim Binns, aged 34, of Barlaston, added: "I had a tattoo sleeve from Ray. I am proud to have his signature."
Tattooist Craig, aged 36, of Stone, opened his own studio in 2009 - and had his first tattoo off Ray at the age of 18.
He said: "There was nobody like Ray, he was just so quirky. It was an honour to have known him. He is just a legend, a tattoo legend. Everybody you spoke to knew Raymondo."

Broadcast Canvas - Samsung LED at BBC Wales
A brand new location for BBC Wales has created an innovative and futureproof environment for the broadcaster.
The design and construction of a new facility in Cardiff for BBC Wales was created with the aim of providing a 21st century broadcasting environment. The construction of the new 155,000 square foot, £120 million (€139m) broadcasting facility at Central Square in the Welsh capital has been designed with flexibility in mind. The AV chosen for the project also ensures the broadcaster is futureproofed for emerging technologies such as xR.
The AV consultant working on the project was Jago Design, and the systems integrator tasked with the installation was White Light. As part of the set-up, Central Square was to include a dedicated studio for daily news programmes; supporting broadcasts from both BBC Wales Today (which is transmitted in English) and S4C Newyddion (which is transmitted in Welsh). To ensure that the studio could cater for both shows, part of the design brief was to enable the switching between the two programmes whilst maintaining the idiosyncratic look and feel of each one. Whereas this may have typically involved using 6 or 7 flat panel displays as traditional backdrops, for flexibility and ease of use it was decided that a single large 70 sq m LED screen would wrap around 3 sides of the studio. To do so would require close collaboration and input from all parties to deliver this ambitious and technical project.
Once White Light had received the brief from BBC Wales, it invited the client along to its London warehouse for a visual demonstration of various LED panel sizes from a variety of manufacturers. It was vital that numerous tests were undertaken to ensure that the correct product and resolution was selected, with consideration given to the wide variety of shot choices that the production team would require in order to get maximum flexibility out of the studio. It soon became clear that the design required a very close pitch, high quality LED screen. The ultimate test was looking at LED screens on camera and White Light invited both the engineering and production teams to undertake these tests at their Studio 15 facility in Wimbledon.
During these tests, which saw White Light use broadcast quality cameras and monitors in a controlled studio environment, it soon became clear that one solution stood out, so White Light requested Samsung to supply a small 3-metre sq section for further tests in Wales. This was to be installed in an integration workshop with set construction company Estdale Scenex and broadcast systems integrator dB Broadcast also present to offer guidance and expertise. Once the technology was agreed upon, the installation consisted of almost 70 sqm of 1.5mm Samsung IF-E series LED display. The LED is 25x2.7m of Samsung IFH-E 1.5mm pixel pitch LED, covering three sides of the studio (16,640 x 1,800 pixels), making it one of the largest 1.5mm pixel pitch screens in the UK. The display provides a huge digital canvas that can be used to show content from any of the sources within the gallery. The narrow pixel pitch means that the display can be used as a backdrop, but also as a news wall that can be presented from. The entire display is driven by 6 UHD processors which receive content via the BBC IP infrastructure from six Viz heads in the gallery.
The entire screen was delivered to Wales in parts, assembled by a team from White Light and aligned directly by engineers from Samsung, over a two-week period. It also had to be completed prior to the immovable deadline of the building's official opening.
Because the LED tiles supplied by Samsung are 1.5mm pixel pitch it enables content to be presented on the wall at a high enough resolution that the presenter and, more importantly, the camera can take in all the information on the screen; even from close proximity. This technology also allows the presenter to have a much more engaging experience when interacting with the content. Traditionally, the moiré effect and pixelation is often visible on screen when filming LED. In order to overcome this issue, it was decided to use fine pixel pitch LED, with the camera being unable to differentiate between the individual pixels when both stationary and whilst moving, thus producing an uninterrupted hi-res image.
Conventional LED displays can struggle to present red, green and blue colour hues accurately and without distortion in low grayscale settings. Through grayscale management, Samsung's IF Series displays meets these challenges with algorithms that maintain consistent R/G/B hues without distortion for improved colour accuracy when operating at low brightness (the BBC screen is working at 10% brightness). This means the client can be confident that the clear content they film on-set translates accurately to viewers watching in their homes.
The ability to offer flexibility was a huge part of the overall AV design, and the installation has provided the BBC with exactly what was required, a huge digital canvas that can be completely reskinned to offer an entirely different look in a matter of seconds. A traditional changeover of studios would require the movement of sets and take up several person-hours, but the flexibility built-in to this AV system means it can be changed with the touch of a button.
Reliability is also a huge factor in any live broadcast environment. As the system integrator, White Light can oversee the remote management of the Samsung LED screen, which allows for real time reporting on the health status of all of its components. This can be anything from the overall health of the entire display right down to identifying any modules that may have open circuit errors on individual diodes. This, in turn, gives the ability to troubleshoot over the network, making response time much quicker and simpler as no engineer needs to be on site.
Similarly, if a module or cabinet happens to go down, the calibration data is stored directly on the LED module, allowing a faster Mean Time to Recovery (MTTR) when replacing a module. Also, the colour/brightness matching of individual modules can be carried out quickly and effectively using the Colour Expert LED Software which can be downloaded onto any Samsung mobile phone.
The collaborative work between White Light and Samsung means the broadcast centre is one of the first facilities in the world to be built around IP technology for both its production and broadcast operations. The client is understandably delighted with the end result; "Central Square has the most advanced broadcast facilities anywhere in the UK and is the first BBC centre in the UK to use IP technology across both its production and broadcast operations, future-proofing the facilities for years to come," said Duncan Wheelhouse, BBC major projects, infrastructure. "We recognised the need for a specialist AV supplier with significant experience of designing, supplying and installing large LED screens and White Light have helped us to achieve our ambitions and ensure we have a screen that will deliver a fantastic experience for audiences in Wales watching BBC News
in both English and Welsh languages."

The styles from the #zirazira2017 was anything but basic, it was as if the guest got a memo that told them just how to appear to the ceremony.
You can only imagine the types of designs that flooded the hall of the wedding ceremony; colorful mixtures of the aso ebi fabric, girly addition of tulle, embroidery, frills, fringe. ruffles, mesh and lace-up details etc the mixtures are nameless to say the least. It was a wedding and a fashion event all at once.
There were tons of variations in the styles of cause, from sassy to classy, elegant to boisterous etc but one thing they all had in common was the fact that they were not ordinary.
These aso ebi looks are fabulous, and filled with creative genuis, which one stands out for you? Tell us in the comment section below.


As the name "Earth and planetary physics" implies, the range of phenomena covered by this field is vast—from the structure of the Earth's interior and its oceans and atmosphere, to distant planets. Our research includes topics such as the evolution of the solar system and its planets and the physics of plasma in outer space. In recent years our research has become even more diversified, broadening to encompass topics such as weather prediction, deep-sea exploration, study of the deep solid Earth, and the search for life on other worlds. The common theme of our research is that we use the power of physics to explore various problems related to the Earth, planets, and space.
Making observations is an important part of our work. We have established large-scale observational facilities in Antarctica, and are participating in the design and development of planetary probes. We use supercomputers to analyze the data we collect. Progress in most fields of physics is mainly based on theory and experiments, but in our field we also emphasize large-scale computational simulations and analyses of data. It is impossible to bring the Earth into the lab to perform experiments, so studying Earth and planetary physics is often like a mystery novel—we must use all available clues, i.e., all available observational data—to infer the answers we are seeking.
Our third-year undergraduate students take classes in which they travel to various locations in Japan to perform observations; some students even board ships to make offshore observations. Our fourth-year students are tutored individually by instructors for their senior research projects. We place strong emphasis on methods of numerical calculation, so our third-year students learn the fundamentals of computational science in a curriculum that develops the skills required for research involving supercomputers.
Each student in the department is assigned two advisors who are available to discuss everything from choosing a course of study to opportunities for study abroad.
Recent amazing advances in computing have made possible previously undreamed-of capabilities for big data analysis and large-scale simulations, leading to the resolution of many previous mysteries. We invite you to join us at the frontiers of research in Earth and Planetary Physics.
Most of our graduates go on to pursue graduate studies. About 10% of our graduates take positions with firms in a variety of industries, particularly in natural resource development. After graduate studies, our students go on to positions at a wide variety of research institutes, government agencies, and private firms.

Lupe Fiasco Rates Own "DROGAS Light" Album
Published on: Feb 10, 2017, 1:44 PM
After cheekily reviewing Ab-Soul's latest offering, Do What Thou Wilt, last month, Lupe Fiasco flipped the script and critiqued his own album, DROGAS Light, which officially dropped Friday (February 10). Calling it the "only review of #DROGASLight that matters," the seasoned Chicago MC rated his album a "7/10." However, despite the lower rating, he does refer to himself as a "brilliant rapper."
"[Fiasco's] latest effort 'DROGAS Light' is somewhat of a mixed bag," he writes. "It hosts a wide range of musical themes. From trap to disco to gospel with light touches of lyrical and technical skill from the MC. But while some may think the album is supposed to express his value as a rapper Lupe had something more 'Live' in mind.'"
The only review of #DROGASLight that matters…

He also adds that it's more of a "refinement of 'Lasers.' Period," a reference to his 2011 project. Throughout the rather lengthy review, he alludes that a lot of the material on DROGAS Light isn't exactly recent. He said it's full of songs "from the vaults" and that there are just "a few new pieces." Toward the end, he reiterates DROGAS is coming in the next few months. Until then, bump the prequel here.


Description It was on an auspicious day--the day of Kiran's arrival from Delhi, and the wedding day of Delilah's eldest brother--that the two girls first meet as children; and though they couldn't be more different, they become fast friends. Delilah (Shrruiti Menon) blossoms into a fiery irreverent beauty with the unconditional love of her grandmother, and despite the controlling eye of her hard-working widowed mother. Kiran (Suhasini V. Nair), as the only child of an intellectual father and aristocratic mother, matures into an introspective young woman. Theirs is an idyllic life of family and community, and most of all an enduring friendship. But when Kiran comes to terms with the fact that her physical attraction to Delilah is something she can no longer suppress, her once idyllic and familiar world is shattered. Mortified by her desire for Delilah, and acknowledging that she herself can never realize the object of her affection, Kiran agrees to help a mutual friend, Rajan, pursue Delilah. However, through a bizarre circumstance, Delilah is shocked to discover that Kiran is the suitor behind Rajan's poetic efforts. Delilah responds, to everyone's astonishment, to Kiran. Though their first stab at intimacy leaves Delilah shaken, the two embark on a romance that proves an evolution for both young women. In particular, Kiran's characteristic restraint evaporates, as her confidence blooms. But when their romance is discovered, the scandal is explosive, and a both tragic and triumphant culmination is triggered. Kiran and Delilah will come to learn that it is their life's journey, both enchanting and heartrending, that will forge the women they ultimately become; most importantly, it is through the journey that they will come to know who they are. As the film concludes, a new journey begins.

So..she dont kill herself? Ok..I want to watch it. Can I find this movie in YT?
Me too I hate it. I'm so happy that this didnt end that way.
I wouldn't be sad. The movie ended on a more positive note then what it was suppose to. If you listen to the commentary you will hear the director compromises. At the end their was suppose to be a suicide. I'm glad in this movie there was not.
This movie used to be on YouTube. Anyone know what happened to it?
As probably the only male gay white christian-hindu in America, this movie moved me more than words can say.

ORANGE, Calif. – Junior Becka Wachtel scored five goals to lead the Chapman University women's lacrosse team to a 17-10 win over Occidental in the SCIAC semifinal. Wachtel scored three of a five-goal run that put Chapman firmly in command.
For the second year in a row and third time in five years, the Panthers earned a spot in the championship match of the SCIAC Tournament. Chapman will head to Claremont-Mudd-Scripps next Saturday for the championship match.
Occidental and Chapman traded goals early on. After the Tigers tied the match at 4-4 with 18:26 left in the first half, the Panthers embarked on a 5-0 run that put them comfortably in front the rest of the night. Freshman Danelle Lucero sparked the run with a man-up goal. Wachtel took over after Lucero's goal with back-to-back-to-back goals the put the Panthers up 8-4. Sophomore Danielle Zahn finished off the run with a goal with 12:22 to go in the first.
Oxy's Allesandra Pellicia scored consecutive goals for the Tigers in the next four minutes but the Panthers answered back with goals from junior Stacey Zuppa and Lucero to end the half with an 11-6 lead.
Senior Tara Sonnemaker made eight of her 12 saves in the second half, including several one-on-one saves that took away golden scoring opportunities for the Tigers. While Sonnemaker kept Occidental off the board, Chapman scored the first five goals of the second half to go up 16-6 with 21:26 to go and cruised the rest of the way.
Zuppa scored four goals on the night to go along with four assists, six ground balls, five draw controls and three caused turnovers. Senior Kelsey Mackin scored twice and had eight ground balls.
Chapman will play CMS for the title on May 6 with a match time yet to be announced.

In key industry publication DM Magazine, an article has been published by our head of Healthcare Practice Gary Britnell on the best response by the UK health IT community to Secretary of Health Jeremy Hunt's recent apparent dismissal of the importance of NHS paperless targets.
For Gary, NHS IT leaders should instead look at the great progress to paperless made so far. He discusses how getting to a paperless NHS is not going to be easy, but practical techniques like the integrated digital care record (IDCR) are emerging as a great way to get there.
This entry was tagged DM Magazine, IDCR, NHS by Carina Birt.
In this key public sector publication, Head of the Healthcare Practice at SynApps Gary Britnell discusses the interoperability challenge the NHS faces as it tries to become fully digital.
He's right: hospitals want to share patient data internally, as the paper chase chokes productivity, as our everyday experience with our NHS Trust customers shows. They also know that they'll want to share that data with other providers as we move to break down the barriers between health and social care.
Many practitioners believe the best way of doing that is the Integrated Digital Care Record, the IDCR. The challenge: there's no central, top-down route to get an IDCR; Trusts are going to have to build their own.
Getting to the digital NHS we need is not going to be easy. The good news is that once we have this in place, we will be able to do great things in the NHS, such as route information without any need for re-keying or asking the patient the same questions, allow collation of data for better analysis of the bigger trends, programmatic search, and so on. SynApps is actively engaged on building just such a practical way of doing so.
This entry was tagged IDCR, NHS by Carina Birt.
For SynApps, 2016 has been very much about the NHS. But that doesn't mean other markets haven't been of huge interest to us. Our work in the Police market actually shares many of the same urgent business drivers as the health one, so there's some useful commonality there.
However, the drive to interoperability in the NHS has dominated our work this year, as we've talked about [see here and here]. That's to say that we very much agree and support the call from the very top of NHS England and NHS Digital, for a better way to use NHS IT to share information better.
That sharing has to be internally and externally, of course – which is why the CCGs, who are delivering not just a more interoperable NHS but also a more integrated and unified NHS and health and social care system, have been looking for ways to work toward the Integrated Digital Care Record, the IDCR, fast emerging as the most solid foundation for the next-generation NHS.
Think of it this way: you're a CCG running a big city that's got a chunk of countryside latched on. You could be talking about eight or nine Acute Trusts, maybe 80 or 85 GP surgeries. Throw in a couple of ambulance trusts, some mental health entities and local Social Services. It's a complex network of people who want to partner better but don't know how, and an awful lot of patients (many very vulnerable) who need to be looked after.
You will need technology to knit all this together, and patient information is the main 'unit of currency' that will make it work. This is so important and critical a problem for the NHS that we have spent the majority of 2016, led by my colleague Jason Scholes and his healthcare team, working on a framework for delivering the IDCR in a practicable way.
We know from all our experience with VNAs and data formats in hospitals that there are incredible disparities of technical knowledge and resource across the NHS. NHS England has been finding this out in its groundbreaking Digital Maturity Assessment work this year. We know there are different EPRs and different PACS systems and different IT systems in the NHS – even in the same hospital. So an IDCR is incredibly important, but also hard to deliver from scratch – which is what we have been putting our engineering and design resource into, in a bid to help the CCGs do this (our proposed IDCR blueprint work is here).
In 2017, this work will take a big step forward. Rest assured real proof of concept IDCR work is going on already at NHS customers, convinced by our vision and capability around clinical content and its safe management. IDCR will take a long time, but we will get there, and standards – always something we have lived or died by at SynApps – will be a key enabler, such as CDA, MESH and XDS.
We're ready to make 2017 a really successful year!
Not all NHS organisations will get to any kind of IDCR finish line, of course. We anticipate that many won't, and will want to instead benefit from the success of others, who may lease out IDCR capability through partners like us as cloud-delivered services.
This is something we see in our other big public sector ICT market, criminal justice. Individual Police Forces, the CPS and other stakeholders are also wondering if there might not be a more efficient, seamless way of sharing suspect information. Again, standards are being pushed and probed to see if they can help, and we are also working on demonstrators and PoCs to show what can be done.
The takeaway from all this is, I hope, clear: SynApps is working with its public sector and technology partners, doing important and interesting work – and 2017 looks set to be the year that these seeds bear fruit.
2016 – and 2017 and beyond – are about consolidating and building on the strong foundations that we think previous architectural work we did has laid down.
Can I now wish you all a great Christmas, hope you have a wonderful break, and see you in 2017 – when I hope you'll join us and our partners and NHS IT customers in building more IDCR frameworks that will help patients, budget holders and the country as a whole.

"Back in December, back before masks, and social distancing, and back before we all reeked of hand sanitizer and uncertainty, the Washington Post published a giant exclusive in which, through official government documents, the newspaper laid bare the lies and malfeasance behind America's war in Afghanistan. At the time, it seemed as though this would be one of the biggest stories of the past five years. Instead, it disappeared from the national conversation even before the pandemic ate every news cycle. Meanwhile, the war ground on as American involvement gradually dissipated. So, while I hope that The New York Times's massive "Red Dawn" reporting over this past weekend manages to have a shelf life beyond Monday's Five O'Clock Follies, I'm not making book on that either way.
To recap, in what appears to be a general alarm within Camp Runamuck, the Times was gifted with a trove of e-mails that detailed extended e-conversations between infectious disease experts in and out of government that came to be called "Red Dawn" by the participants. Let us simply say that El Caudillo del Mar-a-Lago and his administration* do not come out of these conversations at all well."
The Last Western Novel
John Presco
On April 15, 2020, I awoke with a very powerful and more direct message from my Angel. She allowed me to hear the Voice of God more directly. I was told to stop all people from taking my healing energy, gather all that energy, and apply it to the World Healing you have been doing most of your life.
In 1991 I began my novel about John the Baptist being the husband of Mary Magdalene, who inherited his teaching that is hidden from us. Jesus was a disciple of John who was turned into an inaccessible sky-god by Saul-Paul who hated Mary and the church she founded. Paul hunted down Mary and her church. In 'The Lion of God' Paul peruses John and Mary to the island of Cypress. We have no birth and death day for Mary who is replaced by Jesus's mother in a fictional and usurping way. Did Mary give birth to John's child, or, children? This question is born to my door when my sixteen year old daughter was revealed to me in 2000. I was not completely aware I had a child. Her mother is one of the thieves of God's Healing that His female angel gave to me when I came back to life on a beach in California.
Five years ago I had a dream. I was in Rena Easton's home in Montana. there were men in her living room talking about me. I assumed they read my blog and were real angry. Rena met me in her backyard, said goodbye, and gave me a kiss. When I awoke, I wondered if they were members of a militia that had ties to the church Rena went to. This dream led me to author 'The Royal Janitor'. Rena's boss became her bodyguard, Miriam Starfish Christling, who locked my Muse in the Tower of Clean in the Siberian wasteland that is Montana. I found a photo of the "House of Clean".
I suspect our President is taking a clue, or, is working with his Gun Men Miltitias to depict the Democrats as Socialist saboteurs, who are hell-bent to keep American shutdown so they will win the White House. Here is the High Noon showdown I saw……in my dreams!

Did Rena's Big Boss Poison Her Mind?
Posted on February 11, 2014 by Royal Rosamond Press
I suspect Rena brought my letter to work to show her boss after telling her about it. She asked to read it. Did she fear she would lose her employee/slave for fifteen years, and thus pointed out things in my letter that might suggest I am a sexual deviant – after Rena's body? If so, it is her boss that is after Rena's body, mind, and soul.
Here is the story of Cinderella and Sleeping Beauty in Siberia. I was prepared to change the dreary life of a sixty year old woman that became afraid of men. Her boss knew this. She was jealous, because no knight in shining armor is coming her way. It had to be too good to be true.
'The House of Mean & Clean' is where once left-leaning women go to be brainwashed. Disguised as a battered women's shelter, the inmates are given a mop and a pamphlet on the right-leaning Dead End Jesus, then put to work. Any attempt to contact liberal people on the outside, will be punished. Your mail will be examined. Any encoded mail will be scoured by the Thought Police. I have been accused of Crimethink.
So, there is Clean& Mean Rena, working away and reciting poetry. She thought she had someone who cared, who would love to hear her poems, but, her boss convinced her I was a another monster, like her father, like her last husband. Rena has been taken hostage, and is the model prisoner. This is how 'Capturing Beauty'….ends!
"I have a million poems memorized. I can always gauge my highs and lows by my focus, and my desire and ability to recite them whilst vacuuming at work. My mind can roam free there, but I do get ever so tired, and bored, lonely as well.
I love my boss – Raelene. She is very professional, very tough, but ever so kind. I enjoy manual labor."

In Idaho, Far-Right Republicans Defy Coronavirus Health Restrictions
April 13, 202012:47 PM ET
Libertarian activist Ammon Bundy (second from right) prays during an Easter Sunday church service he organized despite concerns over the coronavirus outbreak in Emmett, Idaho.
Jim Urquhart/Reuters
Ammon Bundy, who led an armed occupation of a federal wildlife refuge in Oregon in 2016, hadn't been drawing much attention from news cameras or social media lately, until COVID-19.
In defiance of Idaho's stay-at-home order, which he claims is an affront to personal liberties, the militia leader — who was acquitted by an Oregon jury in 2016 — has been regularly holding in-person meetings in the Idaho farming town of Emmett where he now lives.
Bundy, in a cowboy hat and jeans, usually addresses a couple dozen people while glancing at notes on his MacBook.
"If it gets bad enough and our rights are infringed upon enough, we'll physically stand in defense in whatever way we need to," he said recently.
Bundy often strikes a similar tone as his father Cliven Bundy did in the days leading up to an earlier standoff near the family's Nevada ranch in 2014. The meetings are usually streamed on Facebook and garner several hundred followers and scores of passionate comments.
A Resort Town Becomes A COVID-19 Hot Spot, And Says: Stay Away
Ammon Bundy had pledged to hold a nondenominational Easter service in a venue holding up to 1,000 people. In reality on Sunday, a much smaller crowd would turn out at a warehouse he owns in a dusty lot near the Emmett railroad tracks.
"They'll speak all matter of evil against you, they'll say that you are just trying to bring attention to yourself, they'll say that you are trying to destroy other people's freedoms because if you go outside and you breathe somebody might die," said Diego Rodriguez, a minister who spoke at the event.
The event appeared to draw about 60 people, about half of whom when asked by Rodriguez said they'd traveled from out of state. Some seemed to know each other and hugged and shook hands. No one wore masks or any other protective gear. Outside, American flags were mounted on pickup trucks with bumper stickers promoting the Three Percenters militia, as a man at the entrance blew on a shofar, an adopted symbol of the rebellious anti-federal Patriot Movement.
Even in one of the nation's most conservative regions, all of this might have been dismissed as bluster were it not for the fact that several elected officials in the rural Northwest are making similar calls for defiance as Ammon Bundy.
"Quite frankly, I don't know why Idaho is falling in line with some of the most liberal governors across the nation," said Rep. Heather Scott, a state lawmaker from Blanchard, in northern Idaho.
On her YouTube channel and in her regular newsletter to constituents, Scott called COVID-19 the virus that threatened to kill the Constitution. She also routinely casts doubt on the severity of the pandemic.
"The lying, Trump-hating media who continues to push global and socialist agendas has told us that there is an emergency," Scott said in her YouTube video.
In A Rural Idaho Coronavirus Hot Spot, A Militia Says It Wants To Provide Relief
Fellow local Republican and Bonner County Sheriff Daryl Wheeler also sent a letter to Gov. Brad Little (R-Idaho) asking him to call an emergency session of the legislature to rescind the stay-at-home order. It's been in place since March 25 and is set to expire this week.
The governor and the state's attorney general have maintained the order is constitutional and will be defended in court if a challenge comes.
So far their strategy also appears to be one of non-engagement. Both declined interview requests and have spoken very little about their party's defiant group. There have been no reports of police responding to any of the recent militia gatherings. This region — from conservative eastern Oregon and Washington state to the remote forests of the Idaho panhandle — has had a long history of far-right extremism, both homegrown and imported.
Randy Blazak, chair of the Oregon Coalition Against Hate Crime, says the COVID-19 pandemic is fertile ground for these groups' recruitment efforts. It's a time of high anxiety when civil liberties are taking the back seat to public health restrictions.
"They're really focusing on how this might be an opportunity to advance their very extremist views," Blazak says.
While there have been hundreds of cases in Blaine County, Idaho, and on reservations in the West, as a whole Blazak says there haven't been many reported infections yet in rural areas.
"The people in rural America don't quite see the real body count," he says. "So it's very real for them to deny the severity of the virus."
Health officials say it's dangerous to cast doubt on stay-at-home orders, one of the only real tools to stop the spread of COVID-19 until a vaccine is available.
In Bonner County, where the sheriff has said businesses should reopen and people should be free to move about, Dr. Morgan Morton, the chief medical officer at Bonner General Hospital, calls it a small, vocal minority in her community that's trying to drown out the urgent guidelines crafted by the experts, in this case the medical community and health care workers like her on the front lines.
"There are a lot of levelheaded people up here," Morton says. "I just hope they're listening to us and not them."
Morton, who's also an OB-GYN in the lakeside town of Sandpoint, worries that the county's 25-bed hospital will be quickly overwhelmed if COVID-19 keeps spreading. They only have four ventilators and six emergency room doctors.
Doctors there have said recently that their community shouldn't be taking medical advice from its sheriff.
"The most frustrating part is these are people who have clout with the community and are giving these recommendations when really it's not their area of expertise," Morton told NPR.
As of Monday, Idaho was reporting more than 1,400 coronavirus cases and more than two dozen deaths.

Miriam's Menstrual Doomsdays
Posted on July 8, 2018 by Royal Rosamond Press
The Royal Janitor
Whenever Miriam – was that way – her receptionist made a sign on her desk to warn everyone. It was a little Japanese flag that she stuck in her pen and pencil holder she bought at Staples.
"Watch out! Bonsai!"
To take her mind off the severity of her menstrual cramps, Miriam would put on one Tribulation video after another, and criticize the very faulty math and scripture. These episodes left her in an acute state of heightened awareness. Wearing that look, she told you she was your divine superior, and, if she chose to, she could squash you like a bug. She would tilt her head back and let you see into her nostrils that would flare when you really pissed her off. Everyone in the office tried t avoid making eye contact with her. But, that filled her with more endless rage. Victoria would send her off to the firing rage, or, the marshal arts practice, but, she was soon back, standing on the other side of her desk.
"You think you are better than me. Don't you?"
Victoria heard Miriam had mastered French kickboxing after hearing she was very good at it. she knew if they got started, they would not stop until the other was a bloody pulp. Looking up into the eyes of the Tiger, and seeing her nostrils flaring like the gills of a Great White. Victoria had enough!
"You're on the rag, aren't you?"
"What are you talking about (bitch?)"
Victoria whips out a calendar.
"We….I mean I have been keeping a record. Here are the moon days you go berserk,"
"No! Stop it! You're hurting me!"
"I'm sending you to the doctor. Something is wrong………….."
Miriam came around the desk and kicked away the chair that Victoria just vacated so she would have room to deliver a knock-out kick to her bodyguard's jaw!
"Shut the fuck up you dirty evil bitch, or I will tear you heart out! I know what's wrong me. It's none of your fucking business why I wear that platinum wig!"
All of a sudden, Victoria had an epiphany. All the pieces of the puzzle – flew into place! All her talk about the men who got an erection at the Adamite Nudist Colony, how she had to be covered up. She felt like an outcast. She felt she was being punished. When she had her first menstrual cycles, she was made to stay home with an old hag that mentally tortured her. She knew all the dreadful Russian witch story aimed at terrorizing young pubescent maidens. She was told if she told her parents of their lessons they would born a Succubus, and monstrous child that would eat everyone in the middle of the night.
Victoria realized that Miriam was sexually screwed up, and in need of a psychiatrist. But, there was something else.
"Oh my God, Miriam! You're a…….."
"Virgin." Miriam whispered. And her hard stare softened, replaced with tears.
"Menstrual cramps can range from mild to quite severe. Mild menstrual cramps may be barely noticeable and of short duration. They are sometimes felt as just a sense of heaviness in the abdomen. Severe menstrual cramps can be so painful that they interfere with a woman's normal activities for several days.
Range Wars and Nazi Sympathisers
Posted on November 27, 2018 by Royal Rosamond Press
Being an American Nazi sympathizer and racist is THE TOPIC these days! I have longed suspected Christian Nazis in Bozeman Montana turned Rena against me. I had a dream, that is now linked with the dreams of Siener van Rensburg.
Trump 'The Nightmare' is down South waving around a rope and a lynching hoping to save a Republican seat. Get out! Get out of the Republican party founded by my kindred as an Abolitionist party and movement.

High Noon Covfefe
You do realize CEO Jeff Laszloffy needs sinners and the transgender folks to make his life work – and his Holy Foundation?
"Laszloffy is no good until he has his covfefe!"
What is COVFEFE? It is a wicked coffee bean being brought West on a train by Antonin Artaud, Gertrude Stein, Van Gough, and Hemingway. The Satanic Four have a wicked desire to convert Montana into a Pink FeFe State by having the Montanians drink The Devil's Seed of Conversion. This BAD NEWS will perk Lazloffy up. No doubt he will pass out more yellow scarves to protect the delicate necks of his Dull Believers, who are not who they used to be. They were very dull to begin with. Then, they got bored out on that vast Bozeman plain that is turning out to be The Devil's Stage'. Look out when White People get bored – in the name of The End Time Jesus!
The two horseman under the two clocks accent my High Noon masterpiece I have been working on for three years. Jeff and Greg gather the Chozen Ones in the Montana State Capitol of The Holy Last Chance, and await the Christian Passover. Those wearing a yellow scarf will be spared. Those without the scarf, will be turned into French Speakers – for starters! Artaud is coming!
Cathy Griffith and Tyler Shields were going to get on board, but, they forgot to run their ghoulish act past the Art Augur, who would have applied his Art Seal making it a real work of art along the lines of Hermann Nitsch.
"I caption this 'there was blood coming out of his eyes, blood coming out of his … wherever,'" she wrote Tuesday.
Before we delve further into this Art Gone Wrong, let us work on our pronunciation of covfefe. Let us go to the source. In this video we hear Artaud under the influence. In these photographs we see Antonin before he had his first cup of covfefe. He knows he must look calm and collected, or, his waiter will not serve him. Seconds after he has ingested covfefe, Antonin is in state of puffing enjoyment. Nicotine goes well with covfefe. Now that our President has abolished the International Bad Air Act – light em up – anywhere!
In the third photo, Artaud is already in need of a second cup. His eyes are rolling to the back of his skull, a dead give-away he is about to lose control. When he is refused service, Artaud grabs his waiter by the neck – and body-slams him to the floor!
Need I repeat the WARNING? Covfefe will severely wrinkle your skin and eventually turn you into a Cowering Covfefe Coward who must have some more Precious, as this brew is called. Talking to ones self, or Jesus, is a side effect. Need I point out the rumor, that our President has overdosed on covfefe, and is up all night tweaking and tweeting, he well on his way to becoming a Covfefe Creature of the Night. While most of us are asleep………he glowers over us all. Big Brother is twittering you!
http://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/trump-targets-%E2%80%98negative-press-covfefe%E2%80%99-in-garbled-midnight-tweet-that-becomes-worldwide-joke/ar-BBBIpTa?li=BBmkt5R&ocid=spartandhp
At 12:06 a.m. Wednesday, President Trump tweeted a strange sentence fragment.
"Despite the constant negative press covfefe," the tweet read. That was it. It ended abruptly, as if someone stopped him, or he stopped himself, or perhaps he never meant to send it.
Homestead Act and Bundy Claims
Posted on January 25, 2016 by Royal Rosamond Press
My kindred, Senator Thomas Hart Benton was the sole proprietor of the Oregon Territory, and helped the Homestead Act become the law of the land. Freed Slaves were encouraged to take part in this Government Giveaway Program. John Fremont and Jessie Benton were Abolitionists. John emancipated the slaves of Missouri, hoping they would come into the Oregon Territory and lay claim to the wilderness the British had lay claim to. The British retreated and gave up their rights to Oregon, thanks to my kindred.
Cliven Bundy, the father of Ammon Bundy, used the word "Negro" in making his bullshit claim that white rugged cowboy types should take what they want. This echoes 'Manifest Destiny' that Senator Benton promoted which had its drawbacks. The important aspect is, the Bundyites are basing their takeover of Oregon land upon real historic legislation my kindred made. Therefore, I have more right to said lands then the Bundy family according to their flawed logic. I am ordering the Bundyites off my land.
Get out! Now! You are trespassers, squatters, and parasites of my Family Legacy!
I will be making a replica of Fremont's flag to take with me to Burns. I am the anointed Government Giver of the West. The Bundys speak with forked-tongue because they want the Federal Government to give them more land. Well, Cliven tore up his Homestead contract, and is a dirty racist pig – who suggested black people were better off as slaves!
Vacate my ancestral land – varmints!
a.k.a Uncle Samaclaus
President: Royal Rosamond Press
The leader of militants at the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge gave two demands to FBI officials Friday for negotiations toward a resolution to continue. The exchange happened outside an FBI staging area near Burns, Oregon.
In a brief meeting with FBI officials, Ammon Bundy made it clear he will not talk about or negotiate a resolution to the three-week occupation of the refuge until his demands are met.
First, he required someone from the FBI meet him face-to-face for the discussions. A brief negotiation took place over the phone Thursday between Bundy and an FBI negotiator.
When the anti-government rancher Cliven Bundy stepped before the cameras to "tell you one more thing I know about the Negro," he also stepped into far-reaching and noxious American historical myths about self-sufficiency, race, and rugged individualism. Bundy's actual words – delivered in a Western drawl by a man in cowboy hat and boots, against a backdrop of sagebrush and desert scenery – were mostly the same old "government makes people dependent" arguments that saturate the right-wing blogosphere and FOX News.
But there was something else embedded in Bundy's observations about "the Negro" that bears mentioning.
Students of the history of the American West have long known that the strong, rugged individualists that populate our movies, TV shows, and myths always depended on government – to give them ownership of their farms and ranches, to subsidize private corporations like railroads for access to markets, for federal troops for protection from Indians, and federally funded dams and canals for irrigating their fields and sustaining their livestock and towns.
The idea that Bundy's pioneer ancestors somehow made their fortunes ("built that") without any help, before the invention of government assistance, the Bureau of Land Management or federal regulations, is preposterous.
Bundy's claims also echoed Mitt Romney's "47 percent" remarks to wealthy contributors during the 2012 campaign, when the Republican nominee intimated that nearly half of Americans believe they are victims and entitled to a range of government support to which they have become dependent. But Romney's division of Americans into "makers" and "takers" gets a lot more complicated if you examine
our country's complex history of clearing, settling and subduing the West.

Muses Gone Hog Wild
Rena and Kirstjen
I am one of the few people in the world who now own The Right Stuff to wage cyber warfare on the Cyber Bully, President Trump. Trough the risen spirit of Dame Elizabeth Rosemond Taylor, as Cleopatra Rosemond Bond, I can destroy the Trump-Putin machine. I summon the Daughter of Ra to dispatch the enemies of the Constitution!
I am offering to do painting from Rena Easton's photographs when she was young. I am looking for a new Dutch Model to play Cleo.

President Trump began berating Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen in the Oval Office earlier this spring, according to administration officials, griping about her performance and blaming her for a surge in illegal border crossings.
Chief of Staff John F. Kelly, who installed her in the job, jumped in to defend her.
The two men then sparred over Nielsen as she silently watched. At one point, Trump noted the border numbers were lower under Kelly and wondered aloud why Nielsen could not perform as well, according to these officials, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to describe the private meeting.

(1919–89) social psychologist; born in New York City. Educated at the State University of Iowa, he taught at Rochester University, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and the Universities of Michigan and Minnesota. At Stanford University (1955–68), and the New School for Social Research (1968) he was increasingly recognized for his theory of cognitive dissonance, whereby people are unable to tolerate conflicting thoughts and beliefs over time and must resolve such conflicts by rejecting or devaluing one or more of the cognitions. His major work was A Theory of Cognitive Dissonance (1957).


Moses threw it on the ground and it became a snake, and he ran from it. Then the Lord said to him, "Reach out your hand and take it by the tail." So Moses reached out and took hold of the snake and it turned back into a staff in his hand.
Then the Lord said, "Put your hand inside your cloak." So Moses put his hand into his cloak, and when he took it out, the skin was leprous-it had become as white as snow.
You have probably heard it said that the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over expecting different results.
When God came to Moses and said, "I want you to go help the Israelites," Moses may have felt like obedience would be crazy. After all, his one attempt to help in the past had not turned out well for him. It almost cost him his life.
Moses must have been deeply discouraged. He had lost everything and was likely feeling as lost as ever.
Growing up as an Israelite in a family of Egyptian royalty, this feeling was probably not completely new to him. He also must have been feeling unworthy after failing so badly and becoming a murderer.
At this point he had fallen so far that he may have questioned whether or not he could still be useful to God.
In fact, he felt so discouraged that he gave God four objections before simply begging God to send someone else to do the work.
How might God be asking you to step out in faith in your life right now?
What are your next steps in order to be obedient to that call?

Alex Wilks has set a new International Underwater Spearfishing Association world record in Bermuda after spearing an African Pompano that weighed in at 18.1 kg [39.8 lbs] to capture the record in the 'Men Sling / Polespear' category.
"He turned and started swimming back up towards me so I took a breath and dove down, meeting him at about 40 feet.
"This time the shot was a success, right behind his gill–but not a kill shot. I held onto the rubber from my spear and fought for the surface, gaining ground but was worried the fish would take off and break the rubber from the spear as it was very active.
"I then grabbed the spear itself but was having trouble getting to and staying at the surface because he was strong and tiring me out.
You wicked , wicked man ! Imagine getting speared ?
Good for you Mr. Wilks – you look so proud…lets hope one day you are not the hunted.
I take it you ^^^ are vegans right?
Talented! Congrats on your record!
Hey mate, if you decide to part with it, im looking to buy some fillet.
Well Done Mate that is an excellent achievement. The publicity will help the island. Kudos!
I hope the people who made negative comments are vegans who don't wear leather, or silk or wool!
You should not have speared that beautiful creature. Hope it wasn't a female. Shame.
Spare us. Hundreds of fish are caught off Bermuda daily. And then there's the lobsters. Yum!
To all the people complaining about this fish being caught… This is ONE fish caught using a small scale technique by a local fisherman. If you want to complain about something, complain about international fishing vessels that come into our waters and catch thousands of fish a time with nets and techniques that destroy the ocean's floor/ ecosystem. You're all complaining about the wrong thing.
Pah.. veggies vegans animal rights folk. This is about the most natural way to catch something pick on the right story. I saw a good joke the other day… I was trying to work out how to make eating green stuff more exciting…… feed it to a cow so you can have a nice juicy steak.
Great catch, an easy fish to spear but not to keep on the spear.
A fish of that size has Ciguatera written all over it though.
Vegetarian or not, this man with a spear,mask and snorkel dove down into the sea and got this catch only with skill. This is cave man s#!t! Amazing! Fair game when you don't use anything but a spear. Fish are crazy fast and to spear one is pure skill! I applaude you, you truly are amazing!
