'This island presents a unique opportunity to study the greatest mystery in the history of our planet: extinction.'
from The Lost World
Six years ago, John Hammond's dinosaur park experiment ended in disaster. The parts that were still standing were shut down, and the animals themselves destroyed. But something has survived …
The last thing Dr Ian Malcolm wants is a reminder of his experiences at Hammond's park; he barely escaped with his life last time. But the corpses of strange beasts are washing up on islands around Costa Rica, and rumours of a possible 'Site B' – a place where the dinosaurs have flourished, alone, away from human interference – are beginning to gain traction. Very soon Malcolm and a team of experts find themselves exploring a new, lethally dangerous landscape. There are no cages to protect them on this island, and every step takes them further away from the world they knew.
'Michael's talent outscaled even his own dinosaurs of Jurassic Park.'
Michael Crichton was a master of the techno-thriller, writing 26 books over his lifetime, with more than a dozen of these adapted for screen. His background in medicine and science underpinned his work, and his dedication to verisimilitude meant that every book was a rollercoaster of the nearly possible: reading the Jurassic Park books, it's almost possible to believe that such extraordinary animals could walk the earth again. This special edition of Crichton's second dinosaur thriller also features redrawn computer graphics within the text, an atmospheric new map and a pair of illustrated endpapers.
Michael Crichton (1942–2008) was born in Chicago and raised on Long Island before studying at Harvard, where he graduated in anthropology and medicine. While still at medical school he began to write novels that were published under pseudonyms. The first book released under his own name was The Andromeda Strain (1969), which became a New York Times bestseller. The novel established Crichton as a major figure in American genre fiction, particularly as the author of enormously popular techno-thrillers which draw on traditions of fantasy adventure fiction stretching back to Arthur Conan Doyle but update them with contemporary scientific and technological themes. Crichton was also a successful writer for film and TV, notably as the creator of ER and Westworld. Many of his books were adapted for the screen, often by the author himself, and the film of Jurassic Park (1993) – released three years after the novel – became the first movie to earn $1 billion at the box office. Its success was followed by The Lost World (1995; filmed 1997) and by several more recent films set in Crichton's Jurassic Park universe.
Vector That Fox is the creative identity of Jo Breese, who graduated with a first-class degree in Graphic Design: Illustration from Sheffield Hallam University, and is now a professional illustrator. Commercial client work began during her studies, with a diverse range of jobs, including spot illustrations for the Wall Street Journal.

Q: Grouping Dictionaries having the most common key value pair I have a list of dictionaries and I want to group this dictionaries having the most common key value pairs . For example the list of dicts is :
data_dict = [{'a':1 , 'b':2,'c':3 , 'd':4} , {'a':1,'b':2 ,'e':1} , {'a':1 ,'b':2,'c':3 ,'z':5} , {'a':1 , 'b':2 , 'j':1}]
The lenght of the data_dict can be upto 4000 .
output = [(0,2),(1,3)]
Here in the output elements represent the index of the dictionaries in data_dict .
So Dictionary at index 0 and 2 had the most common same key-value pairs . Hence they are grouped together . Similarly the dictionary at index 1 and 3 have the most common key value pair among them.

A: First, convert the dictionaries to sets of items key-value:
>>> data_dict = [{'a':1 , 'b':2,'c':3 , 'd':4} , {'a':1,'b':2 ,'e':1} , {'a':1 ,'b':2,'c':3 ,'z':5} , {'a':1 , 'b':2 , 'j':1}]
>>> L = [set(d.items()) for d in data_dict]
>>> L
[{('c', 3), ('a', 1), ('b', 2), ('d', 4)}, {('a', 1), ('e', 1), ('b', 2)}, {('c', 3), ('a', 1), ('b', 2), ('z', 5)}, {('j', 1), ('a', 1), ('b', 2)}]

Now, you want to groups sets by pairs having the most items in common. You can use a naive algorithm in O(N^3): check every set against all the others for the first pair, and do it again until all pairs are found:
N = len(L)
left = set(range(N))
while left:
    c = -1
    pair = None
    for i in left:
        for j in left & set(range(i+1, N)):
            t = len(L[i] & L[j])
            if t > c:
                pair = i, j
                c = t

    left.difference_update(ret) # remove the current pair
    print(ret)

    # (0, 2)
    # (1, 3)

But that's a bit slow (4000^3 = 64 billions).
Another idea is to create a dict item -> list of all sets containing that item. Then transform this dict into a dict item -> pairs of set containing that item (combinations of two elements of the previous list). Finally, consider all the pairs created an choose the most frequent (see https://stackoverflow.com/a/26028865/6914441 for the idea).
This might be slower in the worst case since you have to create all combinations, but could be faster in practice if the key-value pairs are shared at most by a limited number of dicts.
indices_by_item = {}
for i, items in enumerate(L):
    for item in items:
        indices_by_item.setdefault(item, []).append(i)

# {('a', 1): [0, 1, 2, 3], ('d', 4): [0], ('c', 3): [0, 2], ('b', 2): [0, 1, 2, 3], ('e', 1): [1], ('z', 5): [2], ('j', 1): [3]}

# compute the combination
import itertools
pairs_by_item = {item: list(itertools.combinations(indices, 2)) for item, indices in indices_by_item.items()}

# {('a', 1): [(0, 1), (0, 2), (0, 3), (1, 2), (1, 3), (2, 3)], ('d', 4): [], ('c', 3): [(0, 2)], ('b', 2): [(0, 1), (0, 2), (0, 3), (1, 2), (1, 3), (2, 3)], ('e', 1): [], ('z', 5): [], ('j', 1): []}

import collections
c = collections.Counter([pair for pairs in pairs_by_item.values() for pair in pairs])

# Counter({(0, 2): 3, (0, 1): 2, (0, 3): 2, (1, 2): 2, (1, 3): 2, (2, 3): 2})

while c:
    pair, _ = c.most_common(1)[0]
    print(pair)
    # remove all the pairs having one element of the best pair
    for other_pair in list(c):
        if pair[0] in other_pair or pair[1] in other_pair:
            del c[other_pair]

# (0, 2)
# (1, 3)

Q: Como os ícones de um programa não precisam estar numa pasta de recursos ou algo do tipo? Estou usando Java, mas é uma pergunta bem geral, na verdade.
Quando carrego uma imagem como ícone de um programa (ícone do programa, de salvar, carregar, qualquer ícone) e mudo a pasta onde o ícone está, naturalmente acontece um erro pelo fato de o programa procurar o ícone em um endereço desatualizado.
Como solução, criei uma pasta de recursos na mesma pasta do projeto do programa, para armazenar os ícones que estou utilizando.
Por quê programas (como Word, Adobe File Reader, Solidworks ou AutoCAD, etc.) geralmente não tem, pelo menos aparentemente, uma pasta com os ícones utilizados no programa? Como isso acontece?

A: Um executável padrão pode ter recursos dentro dele além do código binário de execução. Como já deve saber isso é chamado de resources (nome no Windows, mas pode fazer no Linux também, e no MacOS usa-se bundles).
Pode ser textos ou outros formatos de dados diversos, inclusive imagens de diversos formatos como os ícones.
Existem alguns utilitários para ver o que tem dentro dele ou manipular esses dados (Exemplo, Exemplo, Exemplo). Obviamente um linker permite fazer essa manutenção na sua forma mais básica (documentação do linker da Microsoft). Os IDEs costumam ter alguma coisa que ajuda nisso. Tem como fazer programaticamente.
Em tese poderia fazer isso em Java, mas ele já tem que juntar outras coisas, não faz tanta diferença ter algo assim. O que poderia fazer é um mecanismo próprio criando um array de bytes e jogar os bytes do ícone nele. Não tem muito segredo. Aí pega esse array e faz o que desejar como se tivesse lido de um arquivo.


Mammography is specific therapeutic imaging that uses a low-measurements x-beam framework to see inside the bosoms. A mammography exam, called a mammogram, helps in the early identification and conclusion of bosom infections in ladies.
A x-ray (radiograph) is a noninvasive medicinal test that enables doctors to analyze and treat therapeutic conditions. Imaging with x-beams includes uncovering a piece of the body to a little measurement of ionizing radiation to create photos of within the body. X-beams are the most established and most every now and again utilized type of medicinal imaging.
Three late advances in mammography incorporate computerized mammography, PC supported discovery and bosom tomosynthesis.
Advanced mammography, likewise called full-field computerized mammography (FFDM), is a mammography framework in which the x-beam film is supplanted by gadgets that change over x-beams into mammographic photos of the bosom. These frameworks are like those found in computerized cameras and their proficiency empowers better pictures with a lower radiation measurements. These pictures of the bosom are exchanged to a PC for audit by the radiologist and for long haul stockpiling. The patient's understanding amid a computerized mammogram is like having an ordinary film mammogram.
PC supported discovery (CAD) frameworks look digitized mammographic pictures for anomalous regions of thickness, mass, or calcification that may show the nearness of growth. The CAD framework features these zones on the pictures, alarming the radiologist to painstakingly survey this region.
Bosom tomosynthesis, likewise called three-dimensional (3-D) mammography and computerized bosom tomosynthesis (DBT), is a propelled type of bosom imaging where various pictures of the bosom from various points are caught and recreated ("orchestrated") into a three-dimensional picture set. Along these lines, 3-D bosom imaging is like processed tomography (CT) imaging in which a progression of thin "cuts" are gathered together to make a 3-D recreation of the body.
In spite of the fact that the radiation measurements for some bosom tomosynthesis frameworks is somewhat higher than the dose utilized as a part of standard mammography, it stays inside the FDA-affirmed safe levels for radiation from mammograms. A few frameworks have measurements fundamentally the same as customary mammography.
Extensive populace considers have demonstrated that screening with bosom tomosynthesis brings about enhanced bosom tumor recognition rates and less "call-backs," cases where ladies are gotten back to from screening for extra testing as a result of a possibly anomalous finding.

Sungmin revealed to have drank 9 bottles of soju when asking for his wife's hand in marriage
On a recent television program, Kim Sa Eun discussed the story of her husband, Super Junior member Sungmin, asking for her hand in marriage.
In fact, on the variety program, Hundred Years Guest, Kim Sa Eun revealed that as her father and Sungmin were drinking on the fateful night, Sungmin was so nervous that he had to drink nine bottles of soju before asking for her father's blessing for their marriage.
Later that night, she said that her husband and father became so drunk that they continuously shook each other's hands. The singer also added that despite drinking so much soju, Sungmin remained very nervous, saying, "My husband was so nervous that even after drinking so much he walked straight on his way home."
Kim Sa Eun's story was very humorous, but another guest on the show added, "He's still a bad son in law for going to the army right after marriage," leading to a lot more laughter from the crowd.

NEWS: Sea Power @ The Georgian Theatre
The newly rebranded indie stalwarts bring their show to Stockton
By Steve Spithray on Tuesday, September 7th, 2021
Image by Hollywood
British Sea Power are dead, long live Sea Power. The indie stalwarts have chosen to rebrand in order to avoid any misapprehension of their name and have announced the release of their new album, Everything Was Forever, ahead of a one-off show at The Georgian Theatre on Saturday 11th September.
The rural-loving cult heroes never fail to disappoint, and the venue's spacious stage should be big enough to accommodate a whole raft of onstage topiary and embellishments, such is their wont and should the urge take them. New single Two Fingers is hailed as an anthem for these troubled times, optimistic and defiant in equal measure, while the live show should feature their usual mix of brooding and bucolic indie.
Sea Power are one of the most revered UK live acts, often mentioned in the same breath as international luminaries such as Pixies and Arcade Fire. With the new album scheduled for a February release some new material should get a run out, while the band's last album, 2017's Let The Dancers Inherit The Party, was arguably their most upbeat, so expect plenty to dance to and a few surprises along the way.

Patch your software, or someone dies! – Musings of a confused technology addict.
Patch your software, or someone dies!
Sounds like an extreme statement, right? Well, not according to some people in some undisclosed US hospitals. Their machines running Windows OSs were infected with Cornficker . I can understand how they felt. Patching systems which are running critical software is always trouble. I've been in this situation so many times. A web server running an electronic claim server software, another one running an inventory management software, or a machine controlling an MRI device.. You name it. People in charge of these machines know that in case something goes wrong due to upgrade process, they are in big, big trouble. So they say: "don't fix it if it is not broken".
Of course this argument goes out of the windows when a worm takes the control of the machine. That's hell on earth. I won't go into windows bashing here, since the penetration rate of MS in operating systems makes them such a huge target, that it is hard to miss it in case you want to throw something at it. (don't read this as it is not MS's fault).
In old times, worms were not such an important threat, since an IT department which takes its job serious would be enough to disconnect the network from the rest of the world. Now all systems are either being built or re-engineered toward connectivity, and we have a problem. Sometimes I feel glad that I'm not running a production system anymore, at least not for the last two years or so.

Jacksonville City Council expands protections for the LGBT community
Audrey Carpenter
Photo by Audrey Carpenter
After a nearly five year battle, the LGBTQ community made huge gains Tuesday, Feb. 14 when the Jacksonville City Council voted to expand the Human Rights Ordinance.
The new HRO adds sexual orientation, gender identity and gender expression to the list of protected categories.
This means that gay, lesbian and transgender people can not be discriminated against in the workplace, the housing market or public accommodations (such as lockers rooms and bathrooms).
The bill passed 12-6 and was sent to the desk of mayor Lenny Curry. While Curry has not been a supporter of the bill, he neither signed nor vetoed the bill, thus making it law.
The controversial city council meeting was packed with supporters and dissenters, many who could not refrain from speaking out. Multiple times the city council president, Lori Boyer, had to ask those in the overflow room and library to respect council decorum.
UNF LGBT Resource Center Director, Kaitlin Legg, said she and several UNF students huddled together in her office and live streamed the council meeting.
Legg said UNF has protected against discrimination based on sexual orientation since 2005 and gender identity since 2010. But she believes now that Jacksonville itself is on board, the city will see more student retention after graduation.
One of the staunch fighters against the bill was councilman Bill Gulliford. He fought for small businesses and members of the religious community.
Gulliford tried to make an amendment to the bill allowing it to go to a referendum, where the public would vote yes or no, but it was struck down by the council.
Kaitlin Legg Photo by Audrey Carpenter
In regards to the opposition Legg said she was disheartened, but glad to see a majority of people still supported the bill.
"It was disheartening to see some of our council members add all these amendments to water down the bill, but it felt really good that most of those amendments weren't approved," Legg said.
One of the main worries of the opposition was that small businesses would be financially burdened by increased lawsuits against them. However, Jim Love, a sponsor of the bill, said that in cities like Tampa, where the HRO is passed, there has not been an increase in lawsuits.
Gulliford also tried to pass an amendment that would keep transgender people off the bill, which failed 13-5.
One other noteworthy aspect about the bill is the religious exemption. The bill allows for religious organizations to be exempted from the ordinance, with the Jacksonville Human Rights Commission having the final say on what is a religious organization and what is not.
Angel Kalafatis, Mentor Program Coordinator of the UNF LGBT Resource Center, said she felt a little disconnected from the decision because she wasn't actually at the council meeting, but she said when it finally sank in she felt joy and excitement.
"I was excited because it gave me a chance to talk to my kids about it, and I like looking for those excuses to have conversations like that with my kids. We all celebrated this morning when the kids got up," Kalafatis said.
Karlene van der Jagt, UNF junior, nutrition, believes that it's great that the bill passed.
"Well the LGBT community is really growing and they're more open now than in the past, I'm really happy about that. People get to know them and get to communicate better with them too," Van der Jagt said.
Another UNF student is glad that the city of Jacksonville has made such strides in fighting discrimination.
John Masterson, junior, health administration, said that he's always thought including everyone is the right thing to do.
"I think UNF has a really diverse group of students, so I think that [the decision] will be in favor of a lot of people. I think a majority of people at UNF will accept it, there's always going to be a few that won't, but I think the majority will," Masterson said.

WOMEN'S RALLY
Urging Mayor Lenny Curry to Veto the JAX HRO
"No Men in Women's Bathrooms!"
DATE: Wednesday, February 22, 2017
TIME: 12:00noon – 1:00pm
PLACE: Jacksonville City Hall & Hemming Plaza
Common sense women are coming together from across Jacksonville to stand publicly against the gross invasion of our privacy, dignity, and safety found in the Jacksonville Human Right Ordinance (HRO) passed by the City Council. The HRO is outrageous and gives biological men a new "right" to shower with women, change clothes in women's locker rooms, and use our bathrooms.
Despite what you may have heard in the local media, the city code is clear that Jacksonville's Mayor Lenny Curry has until the date of the next City Council meeting on February 28, 2017, to veto the HRO which is the most anti-liberty, anti-privacy and anti-woman law any legislative body could ever pass. Get your daughters, sisters, and friends and make plans to join us.

Q: Which relational model is better for this example? This is relational model for a OOP database, which of this is better?:
Note: -> this operand is used to define a foreign key like (field->table(reference))

*

*First
**
attribute
    (id:auto, attribute_name)
type
(id:auto, type_name)

type_attribute
(id:auto, type_code->type(id), attribute_id->attribute(id), default_value)

object
(id:auto, name, object_type->type(id))

object_property
(id:auto, object_id->object(id), attribute_id->attribute(id), my_value)

**

*

*Second

attribute (id:auto, attribute_name)
type (id:auto, type_name)
type_attribute (id:auto, type_code->type(id),
  attribute_code->attribute(id), default_value)
object (id:auto, name, object_type->type(id))
object_property (id:auto,  (object_id,
  object_type)->object(id,object_type),  (object_type,
  attribute_id)->type_attribute(id, attribute_id), my_value)

Really the difference is clearly visible at the object_property table.
In the first model you can define a property using the code and the attribute code, the problem here is that you can define elements that the type doesn't define the attribute for the type of the object. However, this model is most easy to use because for define an object_property you only need two codes like:
INSERT INTO object_property(object_code, attribute_code, my_value)
 VALUES (3,4,'myvalue')

In the second model you can define a property using more consistent data using the object_code, object_type and the attribute_code. However you need to use three codes and additional query like this:
INSERT INTO object_property(object_code, object_type, attribute_code)
VALUES (3, (select object_type from object where code = 3), 4, 'my_value')

Which better?

A: Did you mean to say "relational model"? There is only one relational model:

we've never changed the axioms for the relational model. We have made
  a number of changes over the years to the model itself—for example,
  we've added relational comparisons—but the axioms (which are basically
  those of classical predicate logic) have remained unchanged ever since
  Codd's first papers. Moreover, what changes have occurred have all
  been, in my view, evolutionary, not revolutionary, in nature. Thus, I
  really do claim there's only one relational model, even though it has
  evolved over time and will presumably continue to do so.

Finding the time to sleep let alone exercise is challenge enough for a new mother.
But on a quest to get her endorphins racing again, first-time mum Claire Miller, 38, from West Calder, has managed to combine motherhood and her love of fitness.
Keen to lose a bit of weight and focus on increasing her fitness, she was dismayed to find no gyms or leisure centres in the area which offered classes where mums could bring kids.
But she refused to give up and with the help of Synergy Group Fitness, an independent gym in Livingston, she arranged personal training sessions called FitMoms – where babies become part of the class.
"I was really into exercise and keeping fit before I fell pregnant so when my daughter Aela turned six months, I really wanted to get back into it.
And a number of mums at a local baby group were left in the same position.
Ross Paterson and Amy Murray of Synergy offered the mums a chance to visit the gym to test the water, before devising 'FitMoms'.
"As a company we try to be as bespoke as possible so if there's a request or a need or want we'll try and do anything we can to accommodate it – go the extra mile if we can," Ross explained.
He combined tailored exercises for mums not quite ready to go back to the full-class environment and even includes the babies.
Proving a success, FitMoms is still going 12 months later.
And the class helped Claire on her route back to fitness and inspired to take on a fresh challenge by signing up to the Great Edinburgh Winter Run on January 7.
She said: "I'm now feeling happy, healthy and fit, in addition to being highly competitive," she said.
"I have never been a runner before and thought that it would be something new that I could take on.


An Austrian cardinal accused of molesting young boys relinquished all his duties in the Roman Catholic Church today at the request of Pope John Paul II.
Hans Hermann Cardinal Groer, 78 and ailing, is expected to leave Austria swiftly. The dramatic moves came after the Vatican was faulted for moving too slowly on the case.
The allegations against Cardinal Groer came from former pupils and monks in his care. They surfaced in 1995, when the cardinal was Austria's most senior churchman, and again last year.
The Pope is to visit Austria in June, and church leaders were clearly eager to mend rifts in the church to avoid potentially embarrassing demonstrations.
A statement released today in the cardinal's name was his first comment on the accusations. Even so, it was issued not by him, but on his behalf by the Apostolic Nunciature, the Vatican's embassy in Austria, and contained no direct admission of guilt or apology.
Despite the ambiguity of the statement -- and the fact that he has never spoken of the allegations publicly -- news reports containing testimony by former pupils and monks were so detailed that many Catholics were convinced of his wrongdoing.

A Superior Present Is Built on the Past
By Peter H. Miller, Hon. AIA , Aug 5, 2013
The theme of the American Institute of Architects' (AIA) recent national convention in Denver was "Building Leaders: Leadership for Architecture, Leadership Beyond Architecture." I'm not sure how the name came about, but my guess is the recession gave architects an inferiority complex.
As construction finally emerges from a recessionary storm, architects want to regain their place in the sun. Architects at the convention articulated their "commitment to spark a national discussion about the value of architecture," in the AIA's own language, "and the important role architects play as visionary leaders who make the world a better place."
I caught up with several architectural luminaries at the convention and asked them what the theme meant to them. Here is what I heard.
Jonathan Spodek, AIA, associate professor of architecture at Ball State University and 2013 chairman of the AIA's Historic Resources Committee, which held sessions at the convention that included a workshop titled "Energy Retrofits for Existing Buildings: Expanding the Role of Architects Through Opportunity and Expertise," talked about the "relevance of preservation architects who have solutions for many of the built environment's problems today." Spodek stressed that ever-changing and complex energy codes will drive the market. "Preservation architects can expand their role," he said, "by convincing building owners to save precious resources with deep energy retrofits."
The eminent Carl Elefante, FAIA, of Quinn Evans Architects, who is also an AIA board member, told me that "architects touch so many of today's important issues, from sustainability to community revitalization. We need to be better recognized for the solutions we provide, especially when it comes to the adaptive reuse of historic buildings. There are many more existing buildings which need upgrades than there are new buildings being built."
Peyton Hall, FAIA, of Historic Resources Group, LLC, and an adjunct professor of architecture at the University of Southern California, thinks the next generation of architects is key. "My students get it," he explains. "They get that historic preservation and sustainability are synonymous. Preservation values are becoming more mainstream because preservation is sustainable and sustainability is standard practice now."
When I was not covering events sponsored by the Historic Resources Committee, I walked the exposition floor. It had a nice buzz. Conference managers told me the attendance in Denver was equal to last year's in Washington, D.C. If true (organizers can be notoriously upbeat about those numbers!), that's a very good sign because there are many more architects within driving distance of Washington, D.C., than Denver. The mood was upbeat, even if some exhibitors complained about spotty foot traffic. The industry wants to feel better about itself, after feeling so bad for so long.
I came upon a pleasant surprise at the Andersen Windows' exhibit. Public relations executive Stacy Einck handed me a collection of "Home Style Pattern Books" that feature popular historic house styles from Tudor to Prairie. In the introduction to one of the books, Einck writes, "Today, there is a renewed interest in pattern books as planners and developers look to build new communities based on the successes of the past. Andersen is committed to making this type of great design more attainable through our products, tools and services."
This is just another example of how historic architecture meets the profession's mainstream. When large manufacturers of building materials, along with kids in school, "get it" about historic preservation, what you and I do for a living looks more viable and even more relevant in the future.
So no more inferiority complex, please!

Changing how doctors collect and reflect on patient feedback for revalidation - Version for doctors and those who have knowledge of our revalidation requirements
We're consulting on some changes to our guidance for how doctors use patient feedback for their revalidation and we welcome your views.
It's important that patients have the opportunity to give doctors feedback on the care they receive. We know doctors value feedback from their patients and find it one of the most helpful types of supporting information to reflect on at appraisal. This consultation does not ask whether doctors should be required to reflect on patient feedback as part of their revalidation. Instead it asks how they should do this.
By changing our guidance, we want the feedback to better support doctors' learning and development and to make it easier for patients to take part.
This online consultation document is aimed at those who have an understanding of the requirements of revalidation. If you haven't already registered for our consultation website, you'll need to do so before you can complete it. Please note that this is different from your GMC Online account. We recommend you read our revised guidance before you complete it which you can access by clicking on the further information button below.
We've also developed a separate version of the consultation document aimed at patients, carers and members of the public. If you want to complete this version you can find it on our consultation website gmc-uk.org/feedbackyourway.
All licensed doctors must revalidate to maintain their licence to practise and show they are up to date and fit to practise medicine in the UK.
The requirements for revalidation are published in our Supporting information for appraisal and revalidation guidance, which details the six types of information doctors must collect and reflect on at their annual appraisal to revalidate. One of the requirements is to reflect on feedback from patients at least once every five years, collected using a structured questionnaire. You can read our revalidation guidance on our website at gmc-uk.org/revalidation.
Doctors in UK training revalidate by engaging in their training programme and so these requirements should not apply to them. However, if they undertake practice that requires a licence outside of their training programme they should discuss this with their responsible officer.
What led to this consultation?
An independent review of revalidation called Taking Revalidation Forward (by Sir Keith Pearson, 2017) found that patient feedback can be the most useful type of supporting information for doctors to reflect on at appraisal. However, he also found that mechanisms for collecting feedback are inflexible, the patient sample too small and not representative, and patients often feel unable to give honest views for fear of a negative impact on their care.
An independent evaluation of revalidation carried out by UMbRELLA in 2018 echoed many of these findings and stated that 'existing tools and processes need to be refined due to perceived inadequacy repeatedly expressed by patients and doctors.'
In response we committed to making changes to our revalidation requirements.
In 2018 we sought views of our stakeholders on our patient feedback requirements and how they would like them to change. This included meetings and workshops with a range of doctors, responsible officers, suitable persons, appraisers, patient organisations and lay people from across the UK.
We also reviewed a number of relevant research papers and feedback we'd received on our requirements since they were introduced in 2012.
The proposed changes to our guidance in this consultation were drafted in collaboration with an advisory group, made up of employers, doctors, responsible officers (NHS and independent) and lay people. The findings from our engagement with stakeholders informed the work of this group.
What we want to achieve?
By revising our guidance we're aiming to increase the value of patient feedback for doctors' learning and professional development and introduce more flexibility in how doctors can collect it. We want doctors to be able to use helpful patient feedback that they can already access, for example through their employer, to reduce duplication.
We also want to make it easier for patients to give their feedback, and reduce barriers some can face in doing this.
We will carry out an equality analysis as we develop our guidance, to identify steps we must take to comply with the aims of the public sector equality duty under the Equality Act 2010. Responses to this consultation will help us understand how any changes to our guidance could impact on doctors, patients and members of the public who share protected characteristics.
We will analyse all responses to this consultation and take them into account when finalising changes to our requirements. Subject to the outcome of this consultation, we aim to publish the revised requirements early in 2020.
There are 14 questions in this consultation. While you don't have to answer them all, your views are important, so please complete as many as you can. Below is a list of areas we're interested in hearing your views on:
The key principles that doctors need to consider when reflecting on patient feedback for revalidation (question 1)
How to apply the principles, including:
annual reflection on existing sources of patient feedback (question 2)
retaining a periodic formal feedback exercise (question 3)
guidance on questions to ask patients (question 4)
using solicited and unsolicited feedback (question 5)
support from organisations where doctors work (question 6)
the approach for doctors who don't see patients (question 7)
making patient feedback more accessible and representative (question 8)
involving patients in developing feedback tools (question 9)
any other comments on the revised guidance (question 10)
Implementation and transitional arrangements (question 11)
Equality and diversity considerations (questions 12 and 13)
Further comments on the proposed changes to the patient feedback requirements (question 14).

The 'Other' Type Of Games I Play
Ever Played This Game?
I'm a total nerd for board games. I don't know why, but there's just something about the sheer lack of electronics or batteries that go with folding out a thick cardboard playing surface and spending time setting things up – everything from the card and playing pieces to getting the snacks and drinks ready – this is a social occasion after all! There's an anticipation about the whole thing. It's also just great fun!
The other type of social game I like is playing the lottery. Not quite as nerdy (come on, I know you all play it too!), but it can be social experience too. Particularly if engage in the nerdy side of lottery systems, analysing numbers and all that stuff – you can while away the hours in many a forum geeking out on this stuff.
Or you can also play the lottery in a syndicate group. Get together with friends, family or people at work – and make it a social thing that way. Do you know just how many work based syndicates while away a Friday afternoon having THAT 'what if' discussion about not coming back to work on Monday 🙂
Not everyone can find enough people to make up a decent sized syndicate, but there online options for you folks too – check out the Lottery Syndicate Reviews site as one place that lists some options. It won't have quite the social aspect but it's still a fun way to play the lottery, and with a better chance of winning that big prize too of course.
One of my favourite games to play is the big European game played across 9 countries. People outside Europe don't know it so well, but it's called EuroMillions. The jackpot on this one can get seriously big, but the chances of winning are pretty tough. Which is why I mostly use a syndicate to play it. This game works a bit differently to a lot of lottery games (partly because of the fact it's run by 9 countries!) but also because it has 2 extra balls, plus some add-on games in different countries. If you get confused you can get answers to most EuroMillions questions here.
The only thing I don't like so much about this game is that quite often really big prizes (hundreds of millions) end up going to just one winner. That's another reason I like syndicates – if we win, then about 50 people won't be going back to work on Monday morning! That's much better don't you think?
Are you old enough (and nerdy enough) to remember this game?
I can tell you that I am.
I owned this. And we played it till we started wearing out the cardboard game pieces.
This piece of strategy superbness came from the geniuses that were Avalon Hill games.
It was all about beating the heck out of Orcs, ducking the dragon and generally capturing the map. It was a bit like Risk. But I'd not even played Risk then and thought it was the best game ever invented. I remember it being expensive, far more than other board games, but the box was heavy and felt like it was worth the money you were paying.
It seems funny now that at least a few of the titles created by Avalon Hill as board games got remade as computer games too. Ah, the good old days.
I love Spike Milligans mad style of poetry.
At the very least he makes me smile every time, but more often than not he has that ability to shoot tea out of my nose.

I have mixed feelings about this book. The fact that it won the "Prix de l'Académie Francaise" 2012 tips the scales towards disappointment. Then again if I was not intrigued by a crime book that won the said prize, I probably wouldn't have even picked it up.
It is a 660+ pages crime book; that made me quite hesitant to consider it, I just assume there would be unnecessary details and characters and boring repetitiveness. I was wrong about the first two.
The book's back cover states that it is a "reflection on America". I don't know how one understands such a phrase, nevertheless it felt to me a bit too much to qualify the book as such.
It is the story of a first-time successful young writer, Marcus Goldman, struggling to start his second work, who flies to the rescue of his mentor, the great Harry L. Quebert. Quebert is arrested and accused of the murder of the 15-year old Nola Kellergan, whose body (or the remains of it) is discovered 33 years (2008) after her disappearance (1975) from a small New Hampshire town, Aurora.
The book's front cover is a painting by Edward Hopper, one of my favorite painters, "Portrait of Orleans", and this book is certainly a portrait of Aurora. The inhabitants of Aurora seem typical of any small village; endowed with the natural virtues and vices and small-town life; they are friendly, nosy about each other's affairs, yet understanding, even respectful, of each other's privacy (if such a privacy exists in a small village), and as is the case in any small town, and especially those described in crime novels, newcomers almost always carry a deeper past with them.
Though the book is more action than description, yet the characters and the events occuring in the past are chronicled in such a way that one feels as if he was part of that fateful 1975 summer.
What felt a bit unsettling, in my opinion, was that the recalling of past events did not create in me this feeling of mystery one anxiously anticipates following the deep-digging in crime novels. I even felt that the paths that led our amateur detective-writer to snatch bits of truths about what happened from the dwellers of Aurora were too "programmed"; it was as if people awaited in their houses, or diners, or stores for the arrival of Marcus to recount him in precision what happened 33 years earlier. Over the lifespan of the book, I could count rare occasions in which characters seemed suspicious, or wary or cautious of the questions and deductions thrown-in by Marcus Goldman.
As the case is closed, every little twist of events is lucidly narrated by Goldman/Dicker so much that the imagination of the reader is left thirsty. This is because, throughout the book, Dicker retells the events from the perspective each and every actor directly or indirectly related to the crime, which generates so many overlapping narratives leaving no room for guesswork.
As the detective-writer finds himself entangled in the twists and turns of the book he is simultaneously writing, the reader is offered an entrance to the world of book publishing; there is a most revealing chapter of the book, chapter 6, that completely takes the charm out of the book publishing process. Nevertheless, it is revealed in such a way that I found it quite funny to read.
Overall, I enjoyed the book; it is an easy read of the simple lives of simple people in an average small town. I particularly appreciated that an author can still up an addictive crime novel without the bells and whistles of forensic science and technology, and rely on the simplicity of the characters to elucidate the mystery.

Abstract: Space weather can affect both ground-based and space-borne infrastructures, potentially resulting in failures or service disruptions across the globe and causing damage to equipment and systems. With society having become increasingly reliant on the services these infrastructures provide, a more thorough analysis of the risk due to extreme space weather is warranted. Most studies on the impact of space weather on infrastructures focus on the high-voltage power grid, aviation and communication. A less well-known area of potential vulnerability is the impact of space weather on the financial services sector. Elements of this sector's operations depend on accurate timing, a service which is increasingly provided by space based – and therefore space weather prone - technologies. The Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS), for example, is commonly used for deriving time stamps for financial transactions. In order to address this topic, the Joint Research Centre of the European Commission, the UK Civil Contingencies Secretariat, and the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration jointly organised the "Space weather and financial services" workshop in London on 27 June 2014. The half-day workshop was attended by 50 representatives of the financial service industry, insurance, European and US government agencies, regulators, academia and the European Commission. The objectives of the workshop were to discuss the potential impact of extreme space weather on financial services, in particular through the effect on timing systems of a loss of GNSS services, and to raise the awareness of this risk in the sector. This report presents the findings of this workshop.
