For the history of the Fantastic Four, check out the post here.
Although they were Marvel Comics' first family, they came relatively late to the party.

Marvel had entered the world of animation in 1966 with The Marvel Super Heroes by Grantray-Lawrence Animation, which featured adaptations of several of their characters in scenes and stories lifted right from the comics. The Fantastic Four just missed the boat by being replaced by the original X-Men (called the Allies for Peace) in an episode of the Sub-Mariner segment since Grantray-Lawrence didn't own their rights. The following year, the Fantastic Four finally gained their own animated series by Hanna-Barbera Productions.

Television agent Sy Fischer had spotted his son, Stuart, reading a Fantastic Four comic in the fall of 1966. Seeing potential in the idea for a show, Fischer brought the property to the attention of Joseph Barbera. Barbera agreed with Fischer's estimation and the pair contacted Stan Lee about acquiring the rights. Once granted, Hanna-Barbera put together a pitch for ABC, who bought the show for the fall 1967 schedule.

Featuring designs by Alex Toth, the series adapted stories straight from the comics, with a small credit towards the specific issue appearing on the title cards, and a few original ones thrown in. Co-creators Lee and Jack Kirby served as consultants. Characters from throughout the comics at the time made appearances, including the subterranean menace, the Mole Man (who was able to be acquired from Grantray-Lawrence after he appeared in an Iron Man segment, voiced by Jack Flounders); the diabolical genius Dr. Doom (Joseph Sirola); the master of sound, Klaw (Hal Smith); Soviet scientist Red Ghost (Vic Perrin) and his primate henchmen; master alchemist Diablo (Regis Cordic); the matter-manipulating Molecule Man; other-dimensional foe Blastaar (Frank Gerstle); and the mutli-powered Super-Skrull (Marvin Miller). Also making an appearance was Uatu, the Watcher (Frees); a cosmic being tasked with observing all events of a universe without interfering (also able to be acquired from Grantray-Lawrence, his having appeared in the Hulk segment).
Galactus faces down the FF and The Watcher.
Some changes were made, however, both due to the constraints of time and legal issues. To keep it a fast-paced action show, a lot of the character moments were stripped down or outright removed. Unlike the comics, Reed (Gerald Mohr) and Sue (Jo An Pflug) began the series as a married couple outside of flashbacks (they were dating when the series began). Ben Grimm's (Paul Frees) trouble regarding his appearance had less pathos and was played more for laughs. Instead of their typical Fantasticar, the primary mode of transport for the team was the U-Car that was seen in Fantastic Four Annual #1 (1963), as well as several other rockets and jets.
The coming of Klaw!
Because Grantray-Lawrence Animation had the rights to the Sub-Mariner, the episodes "Demon in the Deep" and "Danger in the Depths" used replacements in new characters called Gamma (Perrin) and Prince Triton (Mike Road), as well as renaming Atlantis as Pacifica. Likewise, for similar reasons, the character of Ant-Man doesn't appear in the story "The Micro World of Dr. Doom." Because the character of Alicia Masters, the blind sculptress that would become Thing's girlfriend, wasn't introduced, Sue became the Silver Surfer's (Perrin) connection to humanity that allowed him to turn against his master Galactus (who was colored green and blue instead of purple and blue, and played by Ted Cassidy) and save Earth (a change later duplicated decades later in the movie Rise of the Silver Surfer). Other coloring differences included tan skin, black hair, and a colorful outfit for Blastaar instead of his gray hair and skin and blue suit; Diablo wearing red, black and purple instead of green and black; and Red Ghost in a green jumpsuit instead of a red one (likely to downplay the Soviet connection of the character, which was never brought up on the show).

Fantastic Four debuted on ABC on September 9, 1967 and ran for 19 episodes, with one episode composed of two short segments and the final two episodes airing the following September. The introduction featured an opening narration, describing the events and characters to viewers; however, some reruns featured the opening without the narration, using just the images to convey the story. The series was written by Phil Hahn and Jack Hanrahan, and the music was composed by Ted Nichols. Marvel published a package comic, America's Best TV Comics, to promote the network's Saturday morning line-up which featured a truncated reprint of Fantastic Four #19 (1963).

The series was abruptly cancelled by the network during the 1960s upheaval over violence on television. It was later rerun as part of Hanna-Barbera's World of Super Adventure package program and again in the revamped Super Adventures package. Because Time Warner purchased the Hanna-Barbera library, this is one of the few Marvel animated series not currently owned by Marvel's parent company, Disney.

DWTS Season 31: Charli D'Amelio to Go Up Against Family Member
Fans are going to see if talent really runs in the D'Amelio family when season 31 of Dancing With the Stars premieres this fall.
A source tells E! News Charli D'Amelio is set to compete on the reality series this season—alongside her mom, Heidi D'Amelio.
The TikTok star and her mom are just two of the many contestants who will appear in Dancing With the Stars' debut season on Disney+. In April, ABC announced the competition series will move to the streaming platform, a first in the TV world.
While fans are hesitant about the show leaving network TV for streaming, longtime judge Carrie Ann Inaba told E! News in June that she's excited to see how it all works out. "I think it's going to be a really good change," she said. "After 30 seasons, some shows don't make it that far. The fact that we're still evolving and trying new things, it says a lot about our brand."

Vegetarian Athletes
A Vegan Health Article from All-Creatures.org
These vegan health articles are presented to assist you in taking a pro-active part in your own health.
See All-Creatures.org Health Position and Disclaimer
From Michael Greger, M.D.
http://www.veganMD.org
The July/August issue of the journal Nutrition had a review on the "Nutritional Considerations for Vegetarian Athletes." The last comprehensive review of athletic performance and vegetarianism was over 5 years ago.[1] Not much has changed.
There still hasn't been a single well-controlled long-term study on the effects of vegetarian or vegan diets on athletes, but the best science we have so far suggests that there are no consistent differences in strength, fitness, or performance between vegetarian and nonvegetarian athletes. Vegetarian athletes seem to perform just as well as their flesh-eating counterparts.[2]
The review addressed the role of creatine. Creatine is a compound found in your muscles that your body produces to facilitate quick bursts of energy. People who eat the muscles of others--meat-eaters--tend to build up higher levels of creatine than vegetarians. While this has not been shown to offer a competitive advantage, there is some evidence that massive creatine supplementation may offer additional benefit for vegetarian athletes who may have lower baseline levels.[3,4] The level of creatine supplementation typically used, however, is the equivalent of eating about 10 pounds of meat a day,[5] the safety of which has not been established.[6]
The review concludes that "the most prudent conclusion is that more data on the long-term safety profile are needed before creatine supplementation can be endorsed for athletes, vegetarians, or others."[7]

All the Money in the World (***) R
Posted by FOCUS Newspaper | December, 28, 2017 | Film Reviews
Director Ridley Scott's second film in the calendar year of 2017—that in itself being quite an accomplishment for a film director who is now in his eighties—was being groomed as an early Oscar contender in early fall. The film is a dramatization of the kidnapping of legendary billionaire J. Paul Getty's grandson in 1973 and the early praise was being directed at actor Kevin Spacey's performance in the role of the elder tycoon. Shortly thereafter came the allegations of the actor's sexual misconduct, which sent things spinning in an entirely new direction for the film's director. The curiosity swirled as to what would become of the film. Scott hastily recast the role with actor Christopher Plummer in the part and shot all of the scenes in a nine-day marathon session, announcing that the film would still make its release date.
And now the question remains as to what effect Plummer's participation has had on the film. The short answer is that he's one of the best things to be found in the film and, had he not won an Oscar just a few years back for his role in the film Beginners, he would most assuredly be a front runner this time around. In fact, he's so good it leaves one wondering why he wasn't cast in the role in the first place instead of Spacey. The unrealistic old age makeup applied to Spacey, seen in the early trailers for the film, certainly made me scratch my head in bewilderment. Plummer, in my estimation was certainly the wiser choice.
Now that I've gotten that business out of the way it's time to move on to the film itself. It works well enough and tells a fairly compelling story as it relates the attempts of the elder Getty's daughter in law, Gayle's (Michelle Williams, also turning in some good work) attempts to scrape together the funds to pay off the ransom note. The old man will have none of it, reasoning that if he pays off one kidnapper then more are surely to come out of the woodwork. Instead he opts to let his adviser, Fletcher Chase (Mark Wahlberg, woefully miscast here and one of the film's weak links) play the role of negotiator and do the dirty work before time runs out. Of course, it's a foregone conclusion that Gayle and Fletcher will eventually join forces and come up with a plan to rescue Gayle's son.
The biggest quibble to be found with the film is in its playing loose with the facts. There are multiple scenes that, when readily researched, appear to be nothing more than the concoction of the screenwriter's imagination. Even worse are annoying anachronisms such as the inclusion of the 1969 pop hit Time of the Season, which pops up in a scene set in 1964. If Scott and his team hadn't been so sloppy with factual errors then All the Money in the World would be a slam-dunk. It's a compelling film as long as you remember it's just a film bearing just a passing resemblance to the actual story.
This movie is playing in Hickory and around the area.

Q: MySQL query: display only graded student essays So far I can list all the students essays but I want to be able to display only graded student essays and was wondering how would I be able to do this? What else do I have to add to my MySQL code?
Here is what I got so far with my MySQL code.
SELECT students.*, students_essays.*
FROM students
INNER JOIN students_essays ON students.student_id = students_essays.student_id
ORDER BY students_essays.id DESC

Here is my MySQL tables.
CREATE TABLE students_essays (
id INT UNSIGNED NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
student_id INT UNSIGNED NOT NULL,
content TEXT NOT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (id)
);

CREATE TABLE students (
student_id INT UNSIGNED NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
student_first_name VARCHAR(255) DEFAULT NULL,
student_last_name VARCHAR(255) DEFAULT NULL,
pass CHAR(40) NOT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (student_id)
);

CREATE TABLE essays_grades (
id INT UNSIGNED NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
grade_id INT UNSIGNED NOT NULL,
students_essays_id INT UNSIGNED NOT NULL,
student_id INT UNSIGNED NOT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (id)
);

CREATE TABLE grades (
id INT UNSIGNED NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
letter_grade VARCHAR(2) DEFAULT NULL,
grade_points FLOAT UNSIGNED NOT NULL DEFAULT 0,
PRIMARY KEY (id)
);

A: Just inner join to the essays_grades table (and the grades table if you want the grade).
SELECT students.*, students_essays.*
FROM students
INNER JOIN students_essays ON students.student_id = students_essays.student_id
INNER JOIN essays_grades ON students_essays.id = essays_grades.students_essays_id
ORDER BY students_essays.id DESC

Here's a few tips... You can alias table names (by providing the alias after the table name in the FROM clause) and stop referring to them by their full names, and you can just say JOIN and it is implied to be an inner join.
SELECT st.*, es.*
FROM students st
JOIN students_essays es ON st.student_id = es.student_id
JOIN essays_grades gr ON es.id = gr.students_essays_id
ORDER BY es.id DESC

A: Just join the grades table on the essays table and check for an existing record.
SELECT students.*, students_essays.*
FROM students
INNER JOIN students_essays ON students.student_id = students_essays.student_id
INNER JOIN essays_grades ON students_essays.id = essays_grades.students_essays_id
ORDER BY students_essays.id DESC

Courtney Lions Garcia was the speaker last Wednesday, and the topic was Big Bend National Park. Courtney is the executive director of the Big Bend Conservancy, whose mission is to promote, protect and raise funds for Big Bend National Park and the Rio Grande Wild and Scenic River. Big Bend was the first national park in Texas, and was purchased and established in 1945, making this year the 75th anniversary of the park.
With 450 species of birds, 55 reptile species, 11 amphibian and 40 fish species, Big Bend has plenty to offer visitors. Three distinct ecosystems define the park, including the mountainous Chisos Basin, the Chihuahuan Desert, and the Rio Grande River.
The Big Bend Conservancy partners with the Park to help improve visitor experiences, and has raised over 3.7 million dollars through license plates, grants and membership gifts. Projects include rehabilitating aging exhibits at Rio Grande Village, restoration of the Homer Wilson Ranch, and a fossil discovery exhibit.

How Much Money Does The Weeknd Make? Latest Income Salary
Abel Makkonen Tesfaye (born 16 February 1990), known by his stage name The Weeknd (pronounced "the weekend"), is a Canadian singer, songwriter, and record producer.
Tesfaye anonymously uploaded several songs to YouTube under the name "The Weeknd" in 2010
and released the critically acclaimed mixtapes House of Balloons, Thursday, and Echoes of Silence in 2011. The mixtapes were later remastered and rereleased on the compilation album Trilogy (2012), after he signed with Republic Records and created his own record label XO.
Tesfaye describes his teenage years as the film "Kids without the AIDS". Tesfaye states he began smoking marijuana at age 11, and later moved on to harder drugs. Tesfaye claims he often shoplifted to supplement his use of ecstasy, oxycodone, Xanax, cocaine, psilocybin, and ketamine.
Tesfaye has credited his stage name as being inspired by his high school drop-out status, claiming "after [he] left one weekend and never came home", though producer Jeremy Rose claims the name was his idea. The spelling was modified in order to avoid trademark problems with the Canadian band the Weekend
In his leisure time, he enjoys watching television and is an avid video game fan. Despite having worked in the Trump International Hotel and Tower (renamed by 2017) in Toronto, Tesfaye cancelled an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live! in May 2016 due to Donald Trump being present.

14 Best Handheld Consoles to Make You Feel Nostalgic
GAMING Old Consoles
Premium Pick
Nintendo Game & Watch: Super Mario Bros
by Pia | Published: 29 June 2021
If you've ever played Tekken on a PSP, or the original Animal Crossing on a Nintendo 3DS, then your childhood vacations were probably filled with portable gaming. Before mobile gaming entered the scene, there were many handheld consoles you could choose from that focused solely on video games. But who says those days are over?
If you're feeling nostalgic, or just curious as to what today's handheld consoles look like, look no further. We've compiled the best new and old handheld consoles you can get today.
Latest Handheld Consoles to Check Out
See More Reviews Arrow
The Nintendo Switch might be the most popular handheld console of today. With new Nintendo Switch games and accessories always on the horizon, there are a lot of reasons this handheld is worth the investment. For starters, this device will let you play anywhere — whether indoors or outdoors. Thanks to the detachable JoyCon, you can enjoy your games up close or on a bigger screen.
Along with its release came the latest Animal Crossing game, Animal Crossing: New Horizons. The best part? You can even get the Animal Crossing version of the Nintendo Switch, which comes with blue and green JoyCons.
The Nintendo Switch Lite is a more handheld-focused console compared to its predecessor. At first glance, it may look like a modern PSP. This handheld console comes in a variety of colors, with much more options to choose from than the original Switch.
Unlike the Switch, you can only play this device as a handheld. There are also significant differences in game options and battery life, among other things. But although it doesn't come with the full capabilities of the Switch, it's a more economic option that doesn't compromise quality.
The Nintendo DS was one of the most innovative consoles of its time. It paved the way for dual-screen gaming, spawning the likes of beloved game series as Professor Layton or Ace Attorney. Even with the new Switch, Nintendo's 2DS XL is incomparable.
In this latest release, the 2DS XL proves to be a better upgrade from its predecessor, the 3DS XL. Although it lacks 3D graphics, the 2DS XL comes with a faster processor, smaller bezels, and better battery life. Designed with portability in mind, the 2DS XL is also much lighter, making it easier to carry around.
Retroid Pocket 2
This interesting device is less of its own console and more of an emulator. Powered by Android, this lets you play your old favorite games easily. This clunky handheld console comes in a vintage casing that will make you feel nostalgic.
This console can run games from old handhelds like NES/Super NES, Gameboy/Gameboy Advance, and more. Plus, its Android system (RetroidOS) lets you run each emulator much more smoothly than other emulator consoles in the market. You may have to configure certain things so that you can run games from Sega Dreamcast or the PSP, but otherwise, it's a great alternative.
NVIDIA Shield Tablet K1
The NVIDIA Shield K1 is more of a tablet than a console, but it's another great alternative you should watch out for. As it is made by one of the most renowned gaming companies in the industry, it is optimized for gaming. Its outer design is built with grips on the side for a better gaming experience.
You can connect this device to GeForce Now and get your favorite PC games directly on the tablet. Running on Android 5.0 Lollipop, you get at least 11 GB of storage that you can use. It runs smoothly, with a decent enough frame rate (fps) for your daily gaming. As a plus, it even has a camera that you can use just like a normal tablet would.
As if things couldn't get any more vintage, this retro crossover surprisingly works. The Nintendo Game & Watch is one of Nintendo's newest consoles — but it looks like something straight out of the '80s. With a design similar to Gameboy Micro, Nintendo ports a classic video game into a rebooted device.
The Game & Watch is small, lightweight, and can run about three games. It fits snug into the palm of your hand and will give you a taste of nostalgia everywhere you go. The console can play Super Mario Bros 1 and 2, as well as the Gameboy Micro classic, Ball. Nintendo also recently announced a Legend of Zelda version coming out on the game's 35th anniversary.
Evercade Console
If you miss collecting and snapping cartridges onto consoles, then you should check out the Evercade console. The device itself is made to look vintage, from the colors to the finishes.
You can play all kinds of retro games with this handheld device. There might be a slight learning curve at the beginning due to the awkward positioning of the buttons. But once you get the hang of it, you'll spend hours lost in this handheld console.
Tamagotchi On
The colorful and new Tamagotchi On has introduced tons of new gameplay material for fans to uncover. It gives you all the nostalgia of the original Tamagotchi, but with more modern graphics. The concept is still the same — you hatch a pet from an egg and take care of it as it grows.
This edition comes in full color, and with several new upgrades. Its minigames can take you to various different locations, plus you can take care of generations of pets! Although this feels more like a toy than a console, this handheld game will surely keep you entertained for days to come.
Old Handheld Consoles You Can Still Find on Amazon
Sony's PlayStation Vita (PS Vita) was another unique handheld console of its time. It feels like a PSP but with a touch-screen (front and back!). The graphics in this device was one of the best among the popular consoles at the time. It had a touchpad on the back, front and rear cameras, and more. It was an innovative piece of tech that made us hopeful for future technology.
This console was home to many games that we know and love, such as Uncharted and The House in Fata Morgana.
When you think of retro handheld consoles, the Gameboy Advance is probably the first thing that comes to mind. This compact, lightweight device is the quintessential handheld console. If you had this, then you probably have a plethora of game cartridges lying around somewhere.
One of Nintendo's classic consoles, this 32-bit device came out as a portable SNES. Although its screen may seem small in comparison to today's consoles, it still ran a considerably good set of graphics. Plus, its battery life was perfect for long hours of gaming. If you want to relive your childhood, then you should check this out on Amazon.
The PlayStation Portable (PSP) was one of Sony's attempts at handheld gaming after the release of the PS2. Its design is not far from today's Nintendo Switch Lite. With a sleek design and multiple colors you can choose from, this was the star of the early 2000s.
Memorable games include Tekken, the Patapon series, Mario and Pokemon Pearl. The graphics almost felt like PS2 graphics — quite a feat in those days. Although the load times weren't great, it is still a great option that you can still find in stores today.
Hyperkin SupaBoy
The Hyperkin SupaBoy is one of the relatively newer consoles on this list, but still a classic. Released in the 2010s, this handheld device looks just like the Super Nintendo controller. That being said, this device is a great way to play old SNES games seamlessly.
Its only drawback is that some games run smoother than others. Still, it's a great alternative to Nintendo devices that you can check out on Amazon.
The Nintendo DSi is another great handheld console that you probably remember from the early days. If you close your eyes, you can probably already hear the boot-up sound from this console.
The DSi was a game-changer for handheld consoles with its SD card support and camera. It also allowed for internet connection thanks to its Opera browser tie-in. This also paved the way for the reduction of cartridge consumption worldwide. If you want to remember the good old days, then getting this on Amazon is the best way to start.
A device and a game all in one, this cute, compact game was once a pinnacle of handheld consoles. You have one task: keep your pet alive. This egg-shaped device fits right into your pocket and will vibrate or make a sound whenever your pet needs looking after.
Although the new and improved Tamagotchi On is more fit for the modern gamer, nothing beats the classic. If you're looking for that vintage, black-and-white, 8-bit gaming experience, you can check out the original Tamagotchi on Amazon today.
Retro Video Games to Play

Long before Pokemon Go had us hammering to go outside, the first-generation Pokemon games kept us company on boring days inside. Everyone knows these beloved creatures by now, but something about playing the original game just hits different.
Collect Pokemon, and fill your Pokedex with new types. You can live out your dreams of becoming a Pokemon trainer and evolve your favorites. This beloved series is a childhood classic and is only fitting that you play it on a handheld console.

Putting it into the perspective of today's Breath of the Wild, the Legend of Zelda franchise has come a long way since its first release. Link's adventures have spawned so many games that it is near-impossible to place a linear timeline of its story.
Since it was made in the '80s, the game is available on nearly all of the major Nintendo consoles. Even today, you can check out Hyrule Warriors for the Nintendo Switch.
Photo from Tekken Wiki
This fighting game is a lot of fun to play on the PSP. Although the Tekken series centers mainly around the Mishima family, each playable character comes with their own unique storyline in the game. You can see this in the cinematic cutscenes you can access in the game.
Although it seems like you're just mashing buttons, there is a method to the madness that is Tekken. It's a great game to play on the go with your console, perfect for passing the time outside.
Games like Animal Crossing are hard to come by. It's a fun game to just relax and spend time on. You create and maintain a town of your own making, and invite villagers to live in. Part of Animal Crossing's appeal is its heavy customizability. You can create your own clothes from scratch and decorate your house. The cute characters and beautiful graphics will draw you in. With a handheld console, you can enjoy this game even while lying down and relaxing.
This pair of beloved brothers have been a big part of our childhood. Mario is one of the classic games that you'll find in the market. You will also find any Mario game in a number of consoles — handheld or otherwise — in various forms. Aside from the classic Super Mario game, there is also Mario Kart, Mario Party, Luigi's Mansion, and more.
The Mario series is a staple, especially with Nintendo consoles. And it has survived the test of time for a good reason — there are tons of potential for replayability.
Photo from Professor Layton Wiki
If you want something to challenge your brain, then the puzzles in Professor Layton may just be the thing you need.

Final Thoughts: What Is the Best Handheld Console?

Handheld consoles might be making a comeback. And that just means that we get more of the kind of gaming we experienced when we were younger. With new technology on the rise, there's no doubt that handheld console gaming will improve greatly as time goes by.
If you want the authentic, retro gaming feel, then the best handheld console for you may be Sony's PS Vita. It still holds up as a great device for gaming and will certainly make you feel nostalgic. On the other hand, if you want the premium handheld console gaming experience, then the Nintendo Switch is the best option you can get. It supports a ton of new games coming out, as well as has the crisp, modern-day graphics that older consoles just don't have. Either way, any device you choose will definitely boost your handheld gaming experience.

The review of children's heart surgery in England and Wales was motivated by a desire to improve congenital cardiac services across the country. The Bristol baby tragedies of the late 80s and early 90s, where a cardiac unit had covered up poor surgical results and deaths ensued, was another major influence. This brought about the Kennedy Report of 2001 which suggested a reduction in the number of NHS hospitals performing complex children's heart surgery.
One of the main arguments of the NHS review is that concentrating specialist medical units, such as heart patients, into fewer centres would have a favourable impact on the ability to treat the maximum number of patients with a greater pool of expert surgeons to hand. The Royal Brompton Hospital is one of three London specialist centres along with Great Ormond Street and the Evelina Children's Hospital in Guy's and St. Thomas. The Safe and Sustainable Review team suggested that London only needs two units and that Brompton's current services should be merged with these two larger centres to condense paediatric services for the capital. The Royal Brompton argues that a three centre London network should be favoured.
The Royal Brompton insists that there is no medical reason or clinical evidence which supports the closure or cutting down of its services. It does not argue that change is unnecessary, but is at a loss to understand why such a unit is under threat, especially as it is respected and relied upon by organisations and clinicians around the world, and possesses some of the country's lowest mortality rates. Indeed, the hospital rates joint fourth (alongside Great Ormond Street) in the overall ratings as gathered by Sir Ian Kennedy's latest report on all eleven paediatric heart centres in England. The Royal Brompton actually meets all of the original consultation criteria in terms of surgeons and cases but was bizarrely left out of the original options. The reconfiguration of heart services would also have a negative impact on adult heart services at Brompton and the treatment of respiratory patients who would have to seek care elsewhere. The Brompton carries out ground-breaking research on cystic fibrosis in particular.
The Royal Brompton Trust was so incensed by the proposals that they asked for a judicial review, arguing that the criteria used in the consultation was fundamentally flawed. They won the initial case in November 2011, but lost the appeal in April 2012. However, even the judges praised the centre for its excellence, going so far as to say: "A member of the public might well find it difficult to understand why a centre of the standard of the Royal Brompton should cease to be a centre for paediatric cardiac surgical services under the configuration exercise."
The Brompton Trust insisted that in the initial consultation only surgeons from Evelina and Great Ormond Street were approached for their views and that political motives were contributing towards a London unit - namely, the Brompton - having to shut down.
The Safe and Sustainable team insisted that they were keeping "an open mind" and that a three centre London option was still possible up until their final decision which was made on July 4. However, even though the Review team set up the controversial Pollitt Report and a last minute respiratory exercise on the knock-on effects of the heart reconfiguration, it appears that the decision had already been made. It is difficult to understand how shutting down the Royal Brompton children's heart unit can ostensibly improve national outcomes when the hospital is already an example of what the review aspires to.

I can't believe my daughter is already 18 months old and we just made it to Maplewood Farm for the first time last week! Some of my friends swear by it for a great outing with their child(ren) and then I have other parent-friends that don't even know it exists– right in our own backyard! I have known about it for years, but have never been there myself, until last week, and I am so glad we finally went!
My daughter reads and re-reads her farm books, and she sings the E -I -E -I -O from "Old MacDonald's Farm" numerous times a day. Animals become a large part of many baby's lives because of their prevalence in books, songs, shows and movies. To be able to see these animals up close and personal (and to even be able to TOUCH some of them) brings a whole new level of happiness out in kids. Maplewood Farm is such a terrific opportunity for children to interact with farm animals amidst a busy city life.
We spent a good hour and a half feeding ducks, petting rabbits, chasing goats and gawking at the enormity of the cows and horses. I am anxious to get back there again one day soon and see the excitement on Portia's face all over again.
1) Bring some snacks and even a whole picnic lunch! There are picnic benches for you and your family so you can recharge before exploring the farm some more.
2) Apparently the rabbits love fresh mint. If you have some in your home garden, bring some along and your child will love to feed the giant bunnies.
3) Buy some bird feed when you are paying for your entrance to the farm. There are many opportunities (and it is a lot of fun) to feed the ducks, chickens, swans etc.
4) Consider buying an annual pass if you think you will make it to the farm a few times during the year. Especially if you are a family of 4+. You will save some money!
5) Wear boots/shoes that you are not afraid of getting dirty and wet. Rain boots are a good choice for the little ones!
6) Bring your stroller (for the younger kidlets). The kids will spend most of their time on foot, but after an hour or so of walking/running and all of the excitement, Portia was thankful for a little ride around in her stroller to admire the ducks in the pond and give her baby legs a break.
7) Here is the link to Maplewood Farm with hours of operation, entrance fees, contact information and more!
Gymboree…Where both you and your kids can play!

AVAILABLE IN BLACK, TAN, GREEN POLYMERE FRAMES. THEY ARE ALSO AVAILABLE WITH A THREADED BARREL.
These are made in the Tanfoglio Factory, Italy.
The Strike One semiautomatic pistol comes to the world scene in 2012 as a completely new and revolutionary gun. The Strike One semiautomatic pistol comes as the fastest, most controllable, most accurate and hard hitting service pistol available today on the world market. A full 5 inches cold-hammered barrel, along with a 75 Hrc surface Nitrite treatment for barrel, locking block, slide and operating pin industrial production standard, warrant safe and flawless use of the pistol in excess of 50.000 rounds. The frame of the Strike One was also engineered with exacting and unprecedented standards: the operating frame block, again made of the best 42CrMo4 steel, features long rails for total axial and torque control of all the moving parts, pins and springs. The frame itself, with it's unique and true 3D hand grip (and not just "millings" on a flat surface) comes today as the only service pistol with a full fledged IPSC standard magazine insert "miniskirt", allowing Special Operation and SWAT teams to work as if they were using a competition pistol. The trigger system of the Strike One, again like no other before, operates mainly on the horizontal plain, without raisers with variable and long, rubbery trigger pull, but with a crisp and short firing pin release: this is the secret, along with a lighting fast locking mechanism, behind the unbelievable semiautomatic firing speed of our pistol. Finally, thanks to the in-line barrel operation, the Strike One allows the development of a number of extremely innovative accessories, which base the designing and operative criteria on the "carrying in-line barrel", such as for instance the LRC (Long Range Conversion).
with front and rear cocking panels, rebated ceiling. Milled, 10% lighter slide on the Speed model.

"After a nationwide search, we are pleased to have identified someone who is so knowledgeable about this region. His outstanding record of performance fits well with the principles we value at Houston Endowment," said Anderson.
"Houston Endowment has a superb record of support and service to the Houston area and beyond. It is a privilege to be invited into its work. I look forward very much to moving to Houston and engaging in its challenges and opportunities," Faulkner said.

The foundation was created in 1937 by Jesse H. and Mary Gibbs Jones.
While president of UT Austin, Faulkner led a capital campaign that raised more than $1.6 billion. Other significant achievements included the acquisition of the world-renowned Suida-Manning Collection of European paintings and drawings and the Woodward-Bernstein Watergate Archive, the re-opening of the observation deck of the UT Tower, and the creation of innovative scholarship programs that have helped to restore UT's minority student enrollment.
Prior to his selection as president in 1998, he served as provost, dean of the College of Arts and Sciences, and head of the department of chemistry at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, where he served on the faculty for 25 years.

This Tennessee doctor caught coronavirus at a meeting about coronavirus. He nearly died.
Brett Kelman
NASHVILLE, Tenn. – It was mid-March when Dr. Daniel Lewis, the chief medical officer at a Tennessee hospital, attended a small meeting about how to keep the coronavirus from spreading within the medical center.
One of his colleagues had a mild cough. They assumed it was allergies. It was not.
That night, the man spiked a fever. A few days later, Lewis developed a fever of his own, then he got tested. Even before his results came back positive, he knew.
Over the next month, the coronavirus dragged Lewis to the brink of death. He was hospitalized in isolation and spent 10 days unconscious while hooked to a breathing machine. When he finally awoke, he was plagued by hallucinations, blood clots and muscle atrophy that left him unable to walk, eat or go home.
Lewis doesn't revel in the story of his brush with death, but he feels compelled to share it with an emphatic message: Everyone should wear a mask and avoid crowds to protect themselves from a virus that is dangerous to all.
"Coronavirus does not respect your person. You don't have to be elderly," Lewis said. "It's an apolitical virus that can strike anyone. While there are certain risk factors that may predispose some people to being more ill than others, it can strike people like myself that otherwise were healthy."
As the coronavirus escalates across the nation, some have attempted to downplay the pandemic by insisting the virus is less deadly than anticipated. This claim is prevalent in Tennessee, where the fatality rate has lagged behind most other states for reasons that are not entirely understood.
Lewis' infection kept him from his family for more than five weeks. Today, two months after he finally was healthy enough to return home, he is still working reduced hours while recovering and likely suffers from long-lasting damage to his lungs. Lewis' hospital treatment also cost hundreds of thousands of dollars, and while his care is covered by worker's compensation, another person with the same infection could be buried in medical debt.
"I absolutely did not die from the virus, and I praise God for that daily," Lewis said. "But I've now spent three months of life recovering from the virus with more to go … I will continue to seek care for this in follow up visits probably for the rest of my life."
One of the first infections in Greene County, Tenn.
Lewis, 42, who does not have any serious prior health conditions, got his positive test results for coronavirus on March 30 while the Tennessee outbreak was still young.
The state had recorded only 1,800 infections at that point, and Lewis was one of the first dozen cases in Greene County, a blue-collar Appalachian community in northeast Tennessee. He has been a doctor in Greene County since 2008.
At the time Lewis tested positive, he was already isolating from his family, as do many medical professionals who know they face a high likelihood of infection. Lewis moved into the basement to keep a distance from his wife and five children. He chatted with his wife by standing in the driveway and shouting to her through a window. When his kids went to bed, he sent them "air hugs" from the bottom of the basement steps.
Isolation was difficult, Lewis said, but it would prove more justified than he ever expected.
Two days after he got his positive test results, Lewis' virus symptoms dramatically worsened. He recorded audio messages for his children "in case things didn't turn out well," then checked himself into Greeneville Community Hospital.
Lewis found himself as a COVID-19 patient at his own hospital, subjected to the same isolation processes he helped create as an administrator. Staff wearing protective gear met him at a side entrance and took him directly to negative pressure room that was prepped just for this purpose. Visitors were forbidden.
"It was surreal," Lewis said. "Once I was in the hospital, I knew that every time I called for a nurse or a staff member I was potentially exposing them to a deadly virus. It was scary, and it was daunting, but it was also reassuring because I knew we had put processes in place to protect us."
Ten days on a ventilator, then delirium
Lewis was quickly transferred to a larger hospital with a dedicated COVID-19 unit, where he would spend the next few weeks isolated to a single room. After about four days, his infection progressed and oxygen levels in his blood dropped until he required 6 liters of oxygen to be piped into his nose every minute.
Medical training told Lewis what would happen next.
"Because of my unique situation, the medical staff did consult with me," Lewis said. "And I was the one that brought up the ventilator first."
Lewis was sedated and attached to a ventilator on April 6. These life support machines, which breathe for a patient whose lungs are too weak or damaged to do so on their own, are one of the last hopes for severely ill coronavirus patients.
Many patients never return from this point. Early reports from China and Europe suggested that as many as 90% of coronavirus patients who need a ventilator will not survive. More recent studies from the University of Michigan and Emory University have placed the fatality rate at closer to 30%.
Lewis was dependent on a ventilator for 10 days. He was detached from the machine on April 17, then struggled for a week from ICU delirium, a form of intensive confusion caused by the powerful drugs used for medical sedation.
'COVID hallucinations saved my life':Coronavirus-induced vision told a woman near death to call 911
Lewis said he remembers being visited by his wife in the hospital, although he learned this was a hallucination. His first real memory is attempting to diagnosis his own delirium during a check-up with a neurologist.
"My medical background was a blessing and a curse," Lewis said. "It was a blessing to know and understand what was going on to an extent, but I also knew all the things that could go wrong."
It took a week for Lewis' mind to recover from his time on a ventilator, and his body lagged behind. The muscles in his legs and throat atrophied during weeks in a hospital bed, so was no longer able to walk or swallow safety.
Lewis left the larger hospital to go a rehabilitation facility on May 2. He was wheeled out of the hospital on a stretcher while his family watched from a distance. It was the first time they had seen each other in a month.
Thirty-eight days after Lewis was first admitted to a hospital, he finally got to go home. His wife picked him up from the rehab center and they drove past the Greeneville hospital he worked at, where a crowd of friends held up signs to welcome him back.
Back at his house, he was greeted by the members of his Sunday school class and his five children he had not hugged in two months.
"It felt like the weight of the world had been lifted off my shoulders," Lewis said. "It was exhilarating."

Swansea University has welcomed the news that its Engineering disciplines continue to be ranked among the world's elite by higher education data specialists QS in this year's World University Rankings by Subject 2016.
Civil and Structural Engineering retains its rank of 151-200 from last year, and this year Mechanical, Aeronautical and Manufacturing Engineering has also joined the top 200 moving up from a position within the top 250 last year. Mathematics also features within the rankings occupying a top 350 position.
Professor Hilary Lappin-Scott, Senior Pro-Vice-Chancellor (Research and External Recognition), said: "We are delighted to see Swansea is again in the company of the world's elite institutions with our Engineering disciplines ranked in the top 200 and Mathematics also doing exceptionally well in this year's QS World University Rankings by Subject. There are tens of thousands of institutions across the globe and so to be ranked as high as these subjects is a tremendous success. This clearly sends the message that Swansea is providing its students with a world-class education.
The opening of the University's new £450m science and innovation Bay Campus in September 2015, which is home to the College of Engineering and designed to capitalise on its research expertise and collaboration with major companies including Rolls-Royce and Tata Steel, has further extended the institution's international reach. The development is regarded as one of the largest knowledge economy projects in the UK and within the top five in Europe.
"The Bay Campus is allowing us to expand our growing international strategic partnerships, bringing together top academic minds to exchange ideas and facilitate world-leading joint research, while also providing enviable student mobility opportunities to work or study abroad supported by over 100 university partnerships world-wide. The results of which as we can now see are starting to filter into more world league table success," added Professor Lappin-Scott.
