As of November 8th, 2016, marijuana became legal for recreational use by adults in Nevada. Recreational sales began on July 1st, 2017. Adults who are 21 years of age or older are allowed to consume, purchase, and cultivate up to one ounce of marijuana and can grow up to six marijuana plants at a time or no more than 12 plants per household.
At the Law Office of David R. Fischer, our Las Vegas criminal defense attorney has been contacted with many questions regarding recreational marijuana. The following are some answers to the most common questions we hear from our clients.
Question: Where can I purchase marijuana in Las Vegas?
Answer: In Clark County, up to 80 recreational licenses for dispensaries, as well as cultivation and production facilities, will be allowed to sell marijuana for 18 months once permits are distributed by the state. Most dispensaries can be found in highly public areas such as Las Vegas and Reno.
Question: What do I need to purchase marijuana?
Answer: As long as you have a valid identification card (Nevada or out-of-state) and you are at least 21 years old, you can purchase cannabis.
Question: Where can I smoke cannabis?
Answer: You can only consume or smoke marijuana at a private residence. All public places—such as casinos, hotels, bars, parks, campgrounds, etc.—will be off-limits. The penalty for consuming or smoking marijuana in public is a fine of up to $600.
Question: Can I operate a vehicle after using marijuana?
Answer: Similar to alcohol, police can pull you over if they suspect you're impaired. A marijuana DUI is punishable by jail time, fines, and license suspension. In addition, passengers are also not allowed to consume or smoke marijuana in a vehicle.
Question: Can I bring marijuana purchased in Nevada out of state?
Answer: Cannabis remains illegal under federal law. If you happen to bring marijuana on a plane, TSA will alert local authorities.

11 Threatened Species That Need Protection Under the Endangered Species Act
The legacy of former President Donald Trump is environmental deregulation. Part of that legacy includes delaying protection for 11 species identified as needing endangered status. The Trump administration instead put them on a candidate list.
In early January, the Center for Biological Diversity filed a formal notice of its intent to use then-Interior Secretary David Bernhardt for delaying protection for the 11 species. The Trump administration had the lowest rate for listing species since the Endangered Species Act passed. The Obama and Clinton administrations listed an average of 45 to 65 species a year, respectively.
A backlog of endangered species
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service developed a plan to address the backlog of more than 500 species waiting for listing. Every year since, the FWS failed to make dozens of findings from the plan, according to the Center for Biological Diversity's intent to sue notice. That notice includes 30 species in 2017, 78 in 2018, 46 in 2019, and 58 in 2020. There are perhaps thousands of species in the U.S. that need protection under the ESA to avoid becoming extinct. That includes more than 500 petitioned species waiting for 12-month findings from the FWS. As the formal notice put it, "There is no explanation for the very small number of species that received protection in the last two years."
"The Trump administration's undermining of the Endangered Species Act puts the monarch butterfly, eastern gopher tortoise, and hundreds more plants and animals at risk of extinction," said Noah Greenwald, endangered species director at the Center for Biological Diversity. "For newly nominated Interior Secretary Deb Haaland to successfully save these species from extinction, it will require more money for endangered species, new leadership at the Fish and Wildlife Service, and a renewed commitment to science and following the law."
The 11 species need to be the first ones the Biden administration lists
The 11 species cited by the Center for Biological Diversity's formal notice are the monarch butterfly, eastern gopher tortoise, Peñasco least chipmunk, longfin smelt, Colorado Delta clam, three Texas mussels, magnificent ramshorn snail, bracted twistflower, and northern spotted owl. These 11 threatened species need to be among the first the Biden administration lists as endangered. A closer look at each species reveals why they are in desperate need of listing as endangered.
The monarch butterfly travels 1,200 to 2,800 miles or more from the U.S. and Canada to Mexico. They have the most evolved migration pattern of any butterfly or moth and maybe any insect. Climate change is a threat to the monarch butterfly's migration pattern because weather conditions in its wintering grounds and summer breeding grounds could be affected.
Eastern Gopher Tortoise
The eastern gopher tortoise is native to the Southeast in the U.S. Gopher tortoises in Louisiana, Mississippi, and Alabama (west of the Mobile and Tombigbee rivers) are protected as threatened under the ESA. However, those in eastern Alabama, Florida, Georgia, and South Carolina lack protection.
Peñasco least chipmunk
The Peñasco least chipmunk occurs in two populations in the White and Sacramento mountains in southern New Mexico within the Lincoln National Forest and the Mescalero Apache Indian Reservation. They prefer ponderosa pine forests, and logging, livestock grazing, and fire suppression have altered their preferred habitats.
Longfin Smelt
The longfin smelt is a small fish along the Pacific coast of the U.S. from Alaska to California. Listed as threatened under the California Endangered Species Act in 2009. The FWS found the San Francisco Bay-Delta Distinct Population Segment needed protection under the federal ESA, but never listed the fish.
Colorado Delta Clam
Once teeming in the Colorado River estuary in the Gulf of California in Mexico, the Colorado Delta clam has drastically declined due to reduced Colorado River flows from the U.S. The clam has been waiting for protection since 2019.
Texas Mussels
Three Texas mussels (Texas fatmucket, Texas pimpleback, and Texas fawnsfoot mussels) need protection. Zebra mussels, a non-native species first identified in Texas in 2009, threaten the native Texas mussels.
Ramshell Snail
Found in freshwater ponds along the North Carolina coast, the magnificent ramshorn snail has existed only in captivity since 1993.
Bracted Twistflower
The bracted twistflower is the wildflower of Austin, Texas. All but three of the populations of this wildflower are on private land that is either being developed or is likely to be developed. Houses now sit where the wildflower used to live.
The northern spotted owl is one of three spotted owl subspecies. The loss and degradation of its habitat and competition with the barred owl threaten it.

ReadWrite Predicts: 14 Stone Cold Locks For 2013
fredric paul / 14 Dec 2012 / Work
Predicting the future is a sucker's game. No matter how smart you think you are, events have a way of overtaking logic and making predictions not just wrong but completely beside the point. That's why we have smartphones instead of jetpacks.
That said, the ReadWrite team couldn't resist the year-end opportunity to gaze into 2013 and come up with 14 things we just know are stone-cold locks to come true in the next 12 months, split evenly between consumer and business technology. In fact, this is just the first set of end-of-the-year predictions and wrap-ups we're putting together on a wide variety of important technologies. Look for them as 2012 winds down.
In the meantime, we absolutely guarantee that every one of these predictions will come true in 2013 … unless, of course, things change. Then all bets are off.
Consumer Predictions
Free-to-Play (F2P) Gaming Goes Mainstream: No longer relegated to tiny little casual and mobile games, the free-to-play concept will expand with at least one big-budget, high-profile, AAA franchise game competing with the best the industry has to offer. Instead of demanding big-bucks up front, though, this game will try to recover its investment via advertisements and in-game purchases. If it succeeds, it will change the way games are sold forever. – Cormac Foster
Louder Social Din Opens Opportunity For Aggregators: The social media din will get even louder and harder to understand. Aggregators that help curate these competing streams and tie together disparate services will become the new social media power brokers. –Taylor Hatmaker
Social Media Erases the Line Between Citizens and Journalists: Real-time social platforms will continue to amplify the voices of citizen journalists around the world, all but dissolving the line between the news as we knew it and the relevance and urgency of crowdsourced reporting.– Taylor Hatmaker
Facebook Buys Something Big: Expect some big moves – and at least one really big acquisition – from Facebook as the company tries to make up for lost time on monetization and mobile. It could be Microsoft's Atlas or some other ad platform. – Taylor Hatmaker
Twitter Gets Competition: Services like App.net, Branch and Medium will gain traction, stretching our collective attention spans beyond the mental claustrophobia of 140-character micro-thoughts. Google+ may be a joke now, but the so-called social ghost town will chug steadily into 2013 as Google patiently plays the long game, bringing its Web of products even deeper into the fold. – Taylor Hatmaker
Mobile Security Meltdown: Security experts have been warning about mobile security vulnerabilities for years, but no one has really been listening. That will change in 2013 when a massive security issue plagues one or mobile platforms, stealing personal information, bricking phones and changing the way people use their devices. – Fredric Paul
Apple Will Release a Television Set: In the spring of 2013 we will see a genuine Apple television, not just the little streaming box that is currently known as Apple TV. The opportunity to make a big splash in the time between big tech conferences like the Consumer Electronics Show, Mobile World Congress and South by Southwest means we should look for the announcement in March. – Dan Rowinski
Enterprise Predictions
The Enterprise Strikes Back: 2013 will see a continuing slump in startups that target consumer categories like social media and mobile and renewed strength in startups aimed at the enterprise. As venture capitalists come down from the bubbly days of Facebook, Zynga and Groupon, they'll return to their senses and invest in companies that emphasize solid fundamentals, like paying customers and profits. – Tim Devaney and Tom Stein
The Enterprise Inflates a Bubble: The shift to enterprise is good news and bad news. The good news is the Valley will get back to solving real problems. The bad news is we're going to see a huge bubble in B2B startups just like the one that just popped in B2C. By this time next year we'll all be wringing our hands again, wondering what happened. – Dan Lyons
Governments Tighten Their Grip on the Internet: This year set the table for the government trying to regulate the Internet, with the SOPA and PIPA piracy controversies in the US, and ACTA in Europe. In 2013, a new mutation of the Stop Online Piracy Act will be duked out in Congress. Internationally, fallout from the United Nations-sanctioned International Telecommunication Union's World Conference On International Telecommunications will likely cede more regulatory power to governments around the world, threatening to disrupt the Web's very infrastructure. – Adam Popescu
Apple Cracks the Enterprise: In 2013, driven to the brink by the seismic changes in Windows 8, the difficulty of supporting Windows RT, and lackluster Windows 8 tablets, enterprises will adopt Apple devices with orders in the tens of thousands of units. This won't be the end of Microsoft, but it will put the company back on the defensive after a year of innovation. – Jon Mitchell
Cloud Rules: The early adoption phase of cloud computing is just about over. Up until now, many cloud deployments have been the purview of small capital-poor startups and department-level teams who need resources faster than corporate procurement can move. In 2013 we will see much broader adoption of the cloud across the entire enterprise, as the cost-benefits of elastic computing become too attractive to ignore. Expect some major deployment announcements as OpenStack-based products become more prolific and Amazon Web Services and CloudStack rise to meet the challenge. – Brian Proffitt
Big Data Consolidates: Big Data – defined as companies trying to glean useful insights from vast amounts of data – will be driven by massive investments by large corporations. With all that cash sloshing around, we'll see a big uptick in merger and acquisition activity as traditional tech vendors put big-data startups on their shoping lists. – Antone Gonsalves
Google Will Become an ISP: After a successful trial run with Google Fiber in Kansas City, Google will reveal pricing and options for Google Fiber Internet service in select U.S. cities by the end of 2013. The offering won't have a mobile data component, just home and business Internet, VOIP, and TV. It will seem like a very good deal compared to existing ISPs. – Jon Mitchell
There you have it, 14 can't-miss technology predictions for 2013. Stay tuned for deeper dives into the technologies and trends that will shape our future in the coming year.

This statistic shows the attempts to quit smoking in the United States from 2011 to 2018. The data has been calculated by Statista based on the U.S. Census data and Simmons National Consumer Survey (NHCS). According to this statistic, 14.54 million Americans attempted to quit smoking in 2018.
After seeing a tobacco warning message, would you consider quitting smoking?

Q: ¿Hay alguna forma de alinear esto perfectamente usando CSS u otra cosa? Actualmente estoy produciendo un texto HTML que intento alinear, lo estoy haciendo a la bruto, usando  .
Este es un ejemplo (no hagan caso de los <font color ... eso lo pienso mejorar por CSS):

≡ SALMO    Sal 110, 1-2. 3-4. 5-6

  El Señor recuerda siempre su alianza

  ℣.     Doy gracias al Señor de todo corazón,
      en compañía de los rectos, en la asamblea.
      Grandes son las obras del Señor,
      dignas
  de estudio para los que las aman.
   ℟.

  ℣.     Esplendor y belleza son su obra,
      su justicia dura por siempre.
      Ha hecho maravillas memorables,
      el
  Señor es piadoso y clemente.
   ℟.

  ℣.     Él da alimento a sus fieles,
      recordando siempre su alianza.
      Mostró a su pueblo la fuerza de su obrar,
      dándoles
  la heredad de los gentiles.
   ℟.

El tipo de alineación que yo necesito es este (que la primera línea de cada estrofa quede alineada con las líneas que siguen):

No se resuelve añadiendo uno o dos o tres  , nunca queda perfectamente alineando, y si cambio de tamaño de letra para presentarlo en un HTML se vuelve un desastre. Además, quiero renunciar a   para esto.
¿Existe en CSS alguna técnica para hacer este tipo de alineaciones?

A: 1) Borremos todo lo innecesario y dejemoslo simple, es decir envolvemos cada párrafo en un contenedor y quita todos los espacios innecesarios.

Doy gracias al Señor de todo corazón,

    en compañía de los rectos, en la asamblea.

    Grandes son las obras del Señor,

    dignas de estudio para los que las aman.

2) Te recomiendo llamar los 2 símbolos con los pseudoelementos ::before y ::after en cada uno de los párrafos. Así:
.salmo .parrafo::before{
  content: '℣.';
}

.salmo .parrafo::after{
  content: '℟.';
}

.salmo .parrafo::before,
.salmo .parrafo::after{
  color: #ed462f; /*Con esto pintas ambos del color rojo*/
}

3) A todos los párrafos a excepción de los dos primeros, les vamos a asignar una posición relativa y un espaciado externo con margin a la izquierda. Para el color podemos usar border o en mi ejemplo una sombra:
.salmo .parrafo{
  margin-left: 40px; /*O el espacio que consideres*/
  position: relative;
  box-shadow: -7px 0 0 #49a99d;
}

4) Al primer símbolo lo vamos a sacar del flujo regular del html con una posición absoluta y lo ubicamos a la izquierda a la misma distancia negativa que asignamos de margen en el párrafo:
.salmo .parrafo::before{
  content: '℣.'; /*<-- Esta línea ya la habíamos puesto arriba*/
  position: absolute;
  left: -40px;
}

Y listo! Al paso que llevamos tendrás algo como esto:

.salmo .parrafo::before{
  content: '℣.'; /*<-- Esta línea ya la habíamos puesto arriba*/
  position: absolute;
  left: -40px;
}

.salmo .parrafo::after{
  content: '℟.';
}

.salmo .parrafo::before,
.salmo .parrafo::after{
  color: #ed462f; /*Con esto pintas ambos del color rojo*/
}

.salmo .parrafo{
  margin-left: 40px; /*O el espacio que consideres*/
  position: relative;
  box-shadow: -7px 0 0 #49a99d;
}

≡ SALMO Sal 110, 1-2. 3-4. 5-6

El Señor recuerda siempre su alianza

Doy gracias al Señor de todo corazón,

    en compañía de los rectos, en la asamblea.

    Grandes son las obras del Señor,

    dignas de estudio para los que las aman.

    Esplendor y belleza son su obra,

    su justicia dura por siempre.

    Ha hecho maravillas memorables,

    el Señor es piadoso y clemente.

    Él da alimento a sus fieles,

    recordando siempre su alianza.

    Mostró a su pueblo la fuerza de su obrar,

    dándoles la heredad de los gentiles.

Lo demás se tratará de acomodar los estilos de acuerdo a lo que quieres lograr, por ejemplo:

.salmo p{
  font-family: sans-serif;
}

.salmo .title,
.salmo .intro
{
  color: #ed462f;
}

.salmo .intro{
  display: inline-block;
  padding-right: 10px;
}

.salmo p:not(.intro):not(.title){
  margin: 0;
  margin-left: 40px;
  padding: 10px 5px;
  padding-left: 10px;
  position: relative;
  box-shadow: -7px 0 0 #49a99d;
  line-height: 1.2em;
}

.salmo p:not(.salmo):not(.title)::before,
.salmo p:not(.salmo):not(.title)::after{
  color: #ed462f;
}

.salmo p:not(.salmo):not(.title)::before{
  content: '℣.';
  position: absolute;
  left: -40px;
}

.salmo p:not(.salmo):not(.title)::after{
  content: '℟.';
}

 ≡ SALMO Sal 110, 1-2. 3-4. 5-6

    El Señor recuerda siempre su alianza

Doy gracias al Señor de todo corazón,

    en compañía de los rectos, en la asamblea.

En el remoto caso, de que no puedas (o no quieras) agregar clases a cada párrafo dentro de cada salmo, siempre puedes agregar una clase únicamente a los dos primeros párrafos y usar un selector para los otros párrafos que excluya a estos. Ejemplo:
.salmo p:not(.salmo):not(.title){ /*Este sería el selector*/ }

O incluso puedes volverte un hipster y hacer uso solo de los selectores específicos de CSS sin asignar clases a ningún elemento dentro del salmo, algo así:

.salmo p{
  font-family: sans-serif;
}

.salmo p:first-child,
.salmo p:nth-child(2)
{
  color: #ed462f;
}

.salmo p:first-child b{
  display: inline-block;
  padding-right: 10px;
}

.salmo p:not(:first-child):not(:nth-child(2)){
  margin: 0;
  margin-left: 40px;
  padding: 10px 5px;
  padding-left: 10px;
  position: relative;
  box-shadow: -7px 0 0 #49a99d;
  line-height: 1.2em;
}

.salmo p:not(:first-child):not(:nth-child(2))::before,
.salmo p:not(:first-child):not(:nth-child(2))::after{
  color: #ed462f;
}

.salmo p:not(:first-child):not(:nth-child(2))::before{
  content: '℣.';
  position: absolute;
  left: -40px;
}

.salmo p:not(:first-child):not(:nth-child(2))::after{
  content: '℟.';
}

La etiqueta br solo debe utilizarse dentro de la etiqueta p como salto de linea. Para separar elementos se debe utilizar la propiedad margin. Además construyo una capa base que será el cuerpo del salmo, la misma está representada en el css con la clase ".salmo".
Cada "li" que coloques sería un nuevo "parrafo" no se como se llama cada parte del salmo.

I went to see Mike on a recommendation because I was looking for help with general financial planning.
Mike sat down with my wife and I and worked out what we had, what we wanted it to do, and what levels of risk wanted to take.
We're both semi-retired and wanted to move back to Yorkshire once our kids left home, but we needed to work out if it could happen financially. Mike helped to assess our incomings and outgoings and predicted our cashflow over the next 10 years or so. He put a plan together so we could see everything in black and white. It gave us real peace of mind seeing what our future looks like.
Since then those plans and the market have changed slightly, and Mike's been proactive in making other recommendations that fit with those changes. This means we can count on him through the ups and downs.
Mike helped me consolidate lots of different plans and made it all a lot simpler. He also gave me a clearer view of the potential growth. I can now check my portfolio daily to see if it's grown – it's useful to be able to get that instant update.
There are other things Mike's done that have been beyond the call of duty – my daughter got a very competitive mortgage thanks to his recommendation.
He also recommended someone who helped with a pension fund I'd cashed in early, which was quite a complex transaction, but the result was fantastic and I received more money than I thought was available.
That's not the case with Mike. He's become almost like a family friend – he understands where we are in our lives, and what's going on, and you feel as if he genuinely cares.
And he's extremely responsive – if you have any concerns at all, you just give him a ring. Or he'll come over and see you - going the extra mile - literally! Likewise, the fees and costs are very transparent, so we had no problem understanding any of that.
But I think the most important thing is we trust Mike. If you don't have that fundamental trust, no matter how good the advice, it's always going to be a difficult arrangement, because there are such large sums of money involved. But we trust Mike to give us the right options. Our portfolio doesn't always increase – sometimes it goes down – but we trust Mike to give us the best available advice at the time because like all good planners he takes a long-term view.
I like the fact that he explains things in such a way that you can understand if you're not a financial guru yourself. He's down to earth, and doesn't need to use long words to impress. And if you want chapter and verse and the detail to back it all up, you've got that in abundance.
Thanks to Mike's help, we're moving back up to Yorkshire soon, but I can't see us leaving Mike to be honest. We'll keep using him – from a distance!


I wanted to share my family's recipe for making German Herring Salad, known to our family as Herring Salat. This recipe is from my children's Grandmother, Gertrude Zemp. Their Grandmother recalls that her mother used to make this salat appetizer every Christmas in Germany.
The main ingredient of this appetizer is marinated pickled herring fish. The pickled herring is mixed together with tart apples, dill pickes and vinegar. If you allow the salat to sit covered in the refrigerator overnight the flavors will meld together. This is why I recommend waiting to serve the next day. This recipe is easy to prepare, and as the herring is already "pickled," it holds up well in the refrigerator. I know there are many variations of Herring Salad around the world, but this is our family's version – so good!
Now with my children, we keep the tradition going and make this dish for Christmas Eve every year. If you didn't grow up eating pickled herring, you make not take to it on your first try. Do not be afraid as the taste will grow on you with the tart vinegar flavor and slight sweetness from the apples. It is easy to become addicted to this traditional German recipe.
Herring is also a good luck tradition in Germany, Poland and Scandinavia for New Year's Eve. Eating herring at midnight will ensure a bountiful year. The slivery coloring of the herring represents silver coins and we all want a bounty of those.
* Feel free to add or delete the amount of marinated herring used, according to your family's taste. Pickled herring can be found in most large grocery stores during the Christmas season.
Drain the marinated juice from the jar of marinated herring pieces and place in a small bowl; set aside. The juice will be used to make the dressing.
Remove herring from jar and place in the bowl of a food processor. Lightly process for a few seconds until the herring is just coarsely chopped. Remove herring from food processor and place in a large bowl.
Add chopped apples and pickles to the now empty food processor bowl; process until just coarsely chopped. Add apple/pickle mixture into the chopped herring; stirring to combine.
To make the dressing, add the olive oil, red wine vinegar, salt, and pepper to the set aside juice; whisk to combine.
Add the prepared dressing to the herring mixture and stir to combine.
Cover and store in the refrigerator until ready to serve. Serve with rye bread.
This recipe seems pretty easy to make, I will give it a go and see how it comes out.

National Geographic has unveiled its latest cover and it's a powerful one.
The June 2018 issue features an image which on first glance appears to be an iceberg – until you look closely and realise it's an upturned plastic carrier bag.
The simple yet stunning image has been doing the rounds on the internet for a while, and is by Mexican artist Jorge Gamboa.
The picture illustrates the catastrophic damage we're doing to the planet with our plastic consumption, and that our pollution problems are just the tip of the iceberg.
The new issue – guest edited by retired sailor, Ellen MacArthur – celebrates the launch of National Geographic's 'Planet or Plastic' campaign, a multi-year initiative aimed at raising awareness of the global plastic crisis and reducing the amount of single-use plastic that is polluting our world's oceans.
The artwork is called Iceberg Plástico and it won first place in the political and social posters category in Bolivia's Biennial of Poster 2017.
It's not the only image getting people talking – the issue also features other pics that should make us feel ashamed about the destruction we're causing.
Unlike some media outlets, who have huge environmental drives while not actually doing anything to help the cause in their own backyard, National Geographic has ditched its plastic wrapping when posting out the mag to subscribers in the US, UK and India.
Starting from the June 2018 issue, the mag will now arrive wrapped in paper, instead of plastic.
This change will save more than 2.5 million single-use plastic bags every month.

Mark Julian Byford (born 13 June 1958) was Deputy Director-General of the BBC and head of BBC journalism from 2004 to 2011. He chaired the BBC Journalism Board and was a member of the BBC Executive Board for thirteen years.

His responsibilities also included BBC Sport, the nations and regions (BBC Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland and English regions) and editorial policy. He led the BBC-wide coverage of the general elections in 2005 and 2010; the Beijing Olympic Games in 2008; and the BBC coverage of the Queen Mother's Funeral in 2002 and the Royal Wedding in 2011.

Byford established and chaired the BBC's Editorial Standards Board, which was responsible for promoting the BBC's standards in ethics and programme-making across the corporation. He also established and chaired the Complaints Management Board, which oversaw the handling of complaints across the BBC. In addition, he was the chair of the BBC Academy Board co-ordinating all its training and development. He was in overall charge of the BBC's planning for the London 2012 Olympic Games as chair of the London 2012 Steering Group.

On 12 October 2010 it was announced that Byford had accepted voluntary redundancy. He stood down from the Executive Board in March 2011 and left the corporation in June 2011.

After leaving the BBC, Byford became a writer as well as focusing on voluntary and charitable work. His first book, A Name on a Wall, about an American soldier killed in the Vietnam War, was published by Mainstream Publishing in November 2013. His second book, The Annunciation: A Pilgrim's Quest, a personal search to understand the meaning of Luke's Gospel story, was published in April 2018.

He is currently a lay canon and member of the chapter at Winchester Cathedral. He is also a governor at the University of Winchester; a trustee of the Winchester Hospice fundraising charity; and a trustee of Play to the Crowd, the charity that runs Winchester Theatre Royal and the Hat Fair. He was made a vice president of the RNLI in 2019 in recognition of his outstanding contribution to the charity whilst a trustee from 2012 to 2019, where he was chair of the audit and risk committee, and previously chair of the fundraising and communications committee.

Early life
Byford was born in Castleford, Yorkshire. He spent his early years living around the West Riding of Yorkshire, where his father, Sir Lawrence Byford, served as a policeman. Sir Lawrence went on to Chief Constable of Lincolnshire, and later, Her Majesty's Chief Inspector of Constabulary. Mark was educated at Lincoln School which later became Lincoln Christ's Hospital Comprehensive School.

He returned to West Yorkshire in 1976, studying law at the University of Leeds, where he was president of Devonshire Hall. Immediately on graduating he joined the BBC in 1979, aged 20, as a "temporary holiday relief assistant" working as a researcher over the summer holiday in his local (Look North) television newsroom in Leeds. After three months' vacation work, he joined the BBC full-time.

Career with the BBC
In 1981, aged just 22, he produced the Royal Television Society's Regional News Programme of the Year – a BBC Look North special on unemployment in the North of England.

The following year, in 1982, he produced the award-winning edition again – this time with South Today in Southampton. In 1987 he became head of news at BBC Bristol before becoming home editor BBC News and current affairs, responsible for all television network newsgathering coverage across the UK. There he led the BBC's coverage of the Clapham rail crash, the Kegworth M1 air crash, the Lockerbie bombing, the Hillsborough football tragedy, and the Marchioness riverboat disaster. In 1990 he returned to Leeds as head of centre. In 1991 he became controller of regional broadcasting.

He joined the BBC's board of management in 1996 as Director, Regional Broadcasting, responsible for the BBC's activities in the UK outside London. In 1997–98, he drew up the BBC's response to devolution and helped to devise and implement the policy to increase the level of network programming production outside London. In 1998 he became director of the BBC World Service and then head of the BBC's multi-media global news division in 2002.

In January 2004 he became Deputy Director-General of the BBC but within three weeks of his appointment, Greg Dyke resigned as Director-General, following the publication of the Hutton Report. Byford was appointed by the Board of Governors as Acting Director-General, a role that he undertook for five months. During this period, Byford had a lead role in producing Building Public Value, the BBC's Charter renewal manifesto.

When Mark Thompson was appointed Director-General of the BBC in June 2004, Byford's role was enlarged to take responsibility for all the BBC's journalism at UK, international and local levels – the first time such a post had been established. In July 2006 he also became responsible for BBC Sport.

In June 2008 the BBC's governing body, the BBC Trust, in a direct criticism of BBC News, instructed Byford and his editors to "improve the range, clarity and precision of its network coverage of the different UK nations and regions". The Trust said the BBC was "falling short of its own high standards" and, in part, failing to meet its core purpose of helping inform democracy. Three years later, Professor Anthony King, the author of the original report for the Trust, said there "had been enormous change in how the BBC reported the devolved nations. They make many fewer mistakes than they used to."

As chair of the BBC's Editorial Standards Board, Byford led the executive response to the faked competitions scandals that engulfed the BBC in 2007, including designing the special training programme Safeguarding Trust which more than 17,000 members of staff had to attend. In November 2008, he led the investigation into the Brand/Ross affair and produced the special report that was published subsequently by the BBC Trust.

He is a fellow of The Radio Academy. He was a first board member of the joint industry radio research body, RAJAR, in the early 1990s and was also a board member of BARB, the television audience research body. He was a trustee of the Children in Need charity from 1992 to 1996. In 1999, he established the BBC World Service Trust, the BBC's international development charity, which used media and communications to reduce poverty and promote education and human rights around the world.

In July 2010, it was revealed that Byford had flown on business to the World Cup in South Africa, business class at a cost of £4,878. This came against a background of further cuts in BBC News, for which Byford was responsible. On 12 October 2010 it was announced Byford was leaving the corporation after thirty-two years and the Deputy Director-General post closed as part of the BBC's cutbacks in senior management costs. Byford left the Executive Board of the BBC at the end of March 2011, and his BBC employment ended in the early summer after he led the Royal Wedding coverage, reportedly with a redundancy/notice package of between £800,000 and £900,000.

On his retirement The Guardian commented: "If he has a public profile at all it is because Byford came to symbolise the apparent excesses of top executive pay at the corporation. There he was, grey man with a job for life, half a million pounds in salary and, because he had been at the BBC so long without ever leaving, an uncapped two-thirds final salary pension entitlement and no obvious market rate comparator to justify such riches. It was very easy to put the question, as even many lower ranking BBC staff did – who else would pay Mark Byford £500,000 and for what? – knowing there was no very good answer." However, the remainder of that article, written by media commentator Steve Hewlett, suggested that his presence might be missed greatly at the BBC. "He made things happen and by common consent brought a firm moral sense to everything he did, rising above his own particular interests." It went on to highlight how he was a stabilising influence on Director-General Mark Thompson. That opinion appeared highly prophetic in the light of the two major Newsnight scandals – concerning Jimmy Savile and Lord McAlpine respectively – which engulfed the BBC within 18 months of Byford's departure. Both of those incidents led to widespread adverse criticism of high level management of journalism within the BBC and were surrounded by suggestions that the Director-General of the day was not sufficiently informed about issues highly significant for the BBC's reputation.

The subsequent Pollard Review highlighted that several witnesses had said "they believe the Savile affair and, in particular, the BBC's poor handling of it after the investigation was halted, would not have happened if the role of Deputy Director-General occupied by Mark Byford had still been in existence."
Media commentators agreed with that view. Professor Stewart Purvis said: "He watched the DG's back and he watched the BBC's back. Margaret Thatcher once declared: "Every Prime Minister needs a Willie (Whitelaw). Now the chorus is growing that every DG needs a Mark B." Peter Preston described him as: "a news aware Deputy, a safety net, a mopper up of perilous trifles."

After leaving the BBC, Byford pursued a fresh path as a writer of non-fiction. His first book, A Name On A Wall: Two Men, Two Wars, Two Destinies was published by Mainstream in 2013. It tells the contrasting stories of an American soldier, Larry Byford, killed in the Vietnam War in 1967 and his own father, Lawry Byford, who served alongside the Americans in the Second World War. Jan C. Scruggs, the President and Founder of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial, described it as "an amazing journey that unfolded as a mission. An extraordinary experience like nothing ever done before in America. It's important. It matters." Julian Pettifer, the BAFTA award-winning Vietnam War reporter, wrote "This tale should be compulsory reading for MPs and military leaders and anyone else who might lead us into armed conflict. An absorbing and meticulously researched work."

His second book, The Annunciation: A Pilgrim's Quest, was published by Winchester University Press in April 2018. Inspired by a chance viewing of an Annunciation painting by François Lemoyne in the National Gallery, on loan from Winchester College, he searches for the spiritual meaning of Luke's biblical story through intimate conversations with more than a hundred senior clerics, theologians and art historians, as well as viewing more than a hundred acclaimed Annunciation images, during a three-year 30,000 mile journey.

Personal life
He is married to Hilary Bleiker, whom he met whilst at Leeds University where she studied English, and they have five adult children, two sons and three daughters. He was awarded an honorary Doctor of Law degree by the University of Leeds in 2008. He and his family live in Winchester. In 2006 he was awarded an honorary doctorate by the University of Winchester, and in 2010 an honorary doctorate by the University of Lincoln, the city where he spent his teenage years.

He has been a lay canon and member of chapter at Winchester Cathedral since 2017. He has been a governor of the University of Winchester since 2014; a trustee of the Winchester Hospice Fundraising Charity since 2018; and a trustee of Play to the Crowd, the charity that runs Winchester Theatre Royal and the Hat Fair, since 2018. He was made a vice president of the RNLI in 2019 in recognition of his outstanding contribution as a trustee from 2012 to 2019.

Video game information needs and game organization: Differences by sex and age
Jin Ha Lee, Rachel Clarke, Yea Seul Kim
Introduction. Video games are increasingly recognized as important consumer products, literacy and learning tools, and objects of scholarly research. This study aims to explore video game information needs and game organization behaviour of users, especially focusing on understanding differences by sex and age. This is important for designing useful video game information retrieval and recommendation systems. Method. A large-scale survey of game players and other stakeholders interested in video games was conducted by the research team. The survey asked about their gaming experience, information seeking, and game collecting and organization behaviour. Analysis. Responses were tabulated and descriptive statistics are reported. Chi-squaredgoodness-of-fit tests were also performed in order to determine whether the discrepancies between sexes and age groups were statistically significant. Results. The survey results are presented, focusing on how users organize their game collections, what kinds of game information they value and from which information sources they seek such information. The differences based on sex and age group are also discussed. Conclusions. The findings suggest that users do exhibit different information needs and seek different game information resources to meet those needs based on their sex and age, implying the importance of developing game information systems flexible enough to serve a wide variety of game users.

Before Maharishi Mahesh Yogi arrived on America's shores in 1959, there was no "meditation," "mantra," or "yoga." Within ten years this guru singlehandedly made these into household words. His brush with celebrities put him into the spotlight. But his true legacy is his gift of Transcendental Meditation (TM).
Fifty years ago, in 1968, when Mia Farrow, the Beatles, Donovan, and Mike Love visited Maharishi's ashram, the shock waves hitting Rishikesh, India reverberated around the world. The result was the iconic album The Beatles, a.k.a. the "White Album," written in India, and Maharishi's meteoric rise to fame. (A 50th anniversary White Album remix will be released in 2018.)
Though Maharishi died 10 years ago in 2008, in recent years TM has enjoyed a stellar comeback. TM has become a cool club again due to efforts of film producer David Lynch and his David Lynch Foundation endorsed by dozens of superstars. As a former TM insider, I list over 230 celebrities who learned TM in my new memoir Maharishi & Me: Seeking Enlightenment with the Beatles' Guru.
We who followed the most renowned guru of the twentieth century were yoga pioneers, and my story is the story of an entire generation that changed the world. The "Summer of Love" in 1967 in Haight-Ashbury was the start of the spiritual path for many baby boomers. Even if they didn't participate directly, they were swept up in a spiritual revolution.
But only a handful of the six million people who learned TM know what occurred in Maharishi's direct presence. For 22 years I lived in India, the Swiss Alps, Fairfield Iowa, and elsewhere studying with Maharishi, whom reporters dubbed "the giggling guru." Six of those years I served on his personal staff. I am a rare TM Insider, and in Maharishi and Me, I reveal fascinating unknown facts and dismantle some myths about Maharishi and the celebrities who followed this iconic guru.

by Susan Shumsky
"Disciples cannot take knowledge from a master until they raise their level of consciousness so knowledge will flow to them."
Spinning in the eye of his hurricane was at once glorious, stirring, and electrifying, and wholly devastating, maddening, and mortifying. Riding an emotional roller coaster, I ricocheted from heavenly delight to hellish desolation and back.
This extraordinary man, who moved me so intensely, came from India—a land of mysteries. Until mid-20th century, its vast spiritual treasures remained largely hidden from the West. A significant change occurred when he left for America's shores and made "meditation" a household word. His brush with celebrities placed him in the spotlight. But his true legacy was Transcendental Meditation.
As a former disciple, I lived in his ashrams for twenty-two years and served on his personal staff for six years. For extended periods, I enjoyed close proximity to the most renowned guru of the twentieth century—Maharishi Mahesh Yogi.
Submission to a guru is an abhorrent idea in the West, where worldly achievements, individual assertion, and winning define us. Eastern wisdom is considered inferior to science. However, the venerable Indian tradition seeks loftier treasures. There the goal is to trade up ego-identification for realization of the higher self (atman).
India is where disciples seek gurus to guide them towards spiritual enlightenment. But the alchemical process rendering this transformation has largely been concealed. Disciples seldom write about their "spiritual makeover," as frankly, it's incredibly embarrassing. Gurus don't reveal their closely guarded methods. Otherwise the spell they cast on disciples would be broken.
Loyal devotees impart only highest reverence toward their gurus and paint romantic pictures. They extol their guru's God-like qualities or quote their bespoken pearls of wisdom. Rarely do they divulge anything other than how great the master was, what miracles transpired, and what marvelous experiences were had.
Practically no one discloses the fact that, for the disciple to achieve moksha (freedom from the karmic wheel), the ego must die. The raw truth is this: realizing who we really are (infinite being) rather than who we thought we were (limited self), means giving up ego. That's why higher consciousness is termed egoless. Ego-death isn't romantic. It can be devastating and shattering.
Irina Tweedie, author of Daughter of Fire, said that to realize their higher self, disciples must undergo "self-annihilation"— "turned inside out, burned with the fire of love so that nothing shall remain but ashes and from the ashes will resurrect the new being, very unlike the previous one."[i]
Many authors willing to let us peek through ashram windows are disenchanted dropouts who label ashrams "cults" and gurus "cult leaders." Such exposés portray insulting, exacting bearded men severely rebuking and correcting disciples.
To our Western mind, gurus might appear angry or abusive. But at what point do tough-love tactics cross into "abuse"? How do gurus differ from coaches, athletic trainers, or drill instructors? Why is it okay for tough trainers to coach protégés, yet not okay for tough gurus to train disciples?
Just as coaches bring out the best in their charges, true spiritual masters elevate their students. In a unique relationship of unconditional love, disciples surrender to gurus, and gurus lift disciples to God-realization. This time-honored Eastern tradition, which transforms students into masters, has survived for millennia—because it works.
I wouldn't dare liken myself to revered saints who've achieved enlightenment at their gurus' hands. However, Maharishi's relationship with his students, which I witnessed over two decades, was similar to that of other disciples with their great masters.
Why do Westerners find gurus and cultish ashrams repugnant, considering our dominant religion began with a spiritual master and twelve devoted disciples? That master treated disciples with tough-love in a way that might resemble Maharishi. The disciples responded as we did under Maharishi's guidance—with actions deemed timid, immature, clueless, and sometimes faithless.
Only a handful of six million who learned Transcendental Meditation (The TM Technique) spent any time whatsoever in Maharishi's presence. Out of those who witnessed his antics, few understood his motives. Many who got scorched by his fire still remain baffled. A good number consider themselves victims.
This memoir will raise the veil to uncover how Maharishi captivated me, transformed me, and then released me to find self-empowerment in my own spiritual pathway. As I morphed from a painfully shy teenage rebel to a disturbingly self-doubting but determined young seeker, then into a spiritually aware teacher, I found what I was seeking, but not as expected.
Ultimately, I discovered the divine presence within me. Even though I no longer have a guru in physical form, I enjoy an intimate relationship with the inner guru. Anyone can experience this divine source directly, without accepting dogma, and without middlemen, such as priests, pastors, psychics, astrologers, rabbis, or gurus. Once we let go of ego-attachment, we become our own guru and miracle-maker. The kingdom of heaven is within us.
I feel Spirit has guided me always. A higher plan has been at work, threading my life with divine intervention. Some might say I live a "charmed life." Though my days have been peppered with challenges, multitudes of blessings continually fall into my lap. Even during crisis, the solution always appears—usually instantly. Generally I don't let anything, including myself, stand in my way. If I want to accomplish something, I just do it.
Luckily, I found a simple way to experience divine love directly, at will—anytime I ask. This has given me great solace. Once I made this connection, never was I alone again. The anguish of separation was gone. This mystical connection of love, light, grace, and wisdom is the pearl of great price, more precious than rubies or gold.
This book is a way of sharing a few glimpses into my spiritual journey, and hopefully will help you make your own spiritual connection. My life has been (and continues to be) lived in devotion, led by Spirit daily—even when I was younger and didn't know it. For my journey started under unlikely circumstances—a family of self-professed atheists and agnostics. But that's for another book.
The story that follows reveals how I found myself by losing myself in the most highly celebrated guru to ever visit the USA and mentor to The Beatles, Deepak Chopra, The Rolling Stones, Beach Boys, Clint Eastwood, David Lynch, George Lucas, and countless other celebrities.
So we begin at the beginning, with my first baby steps towards the divine. Often such steps don't seem divine—but we'll get there eventually. For the yellow brick road is curvy and rocky, with many pitfalls. And sometimes the Wizard of Oz isn't a wizard at all. Sometimes the wizard is our self, and the guru is simply the mirror.

PRAISE FOR MAHARISHI & ME
From Grateful Readers
Finally! Someone has written a book that reads and more importantly feels like how it felt to be around MMY in those days and on his courses. Huge congratulations to Susan!
By JazzSaraswati
I just finished (literally just now) Susan's new book. I read it in two long sessions …. she's written a highly compelling and highly entertaining tale of her time with Maharishi. I couldn't put it down!
I spent most of the years between 1972 and 1978 around MMY, with just a few breaks to come back and work at 1015 Gayley and then at the center in Pacific Palisades.
Most of the current writings about MMY are either boring sycophantic adorations that are naked attempts to curry favor with the current TMO or they are openly hostile screeds by those who feel let down. (I do have to hand it to Judith Bourque for reporting what happened to her but without apparent anger in her heart.)
I'm not quite sure what compelled me to order the book, since so many of these turn out to be just disguised TM promo pieces. But in the little sneak previews that Amazon provides, Susan gives up her mantra early on. As soon as I read that I realized that this was not going to be just another silly TM book.
Like Susan, I've been through so many conflicting emotions about the years I devoted to the TMO when I was in my 20s. I knew many of the skin boys and knew about all the tales of women, even back in the day. While I was never on staff, I was on course after course after course in those years, with very few breaks. I was on the 1st 6 month course, then after a 3 month break to teach, I went back for another 6 month course …. then another …. then the whole Siddha thing was announced and I stayed on for that. Went home for a few months and then back again this time for almost a year. Was I addicted? You bet!!
Susan manages to capture the incredible highs and the glory …. as well as the lows, the insanity, the being woken up at 2am for a "meeting" with MMY ….. the absolute crushing of ego when MMY went off on you. Susan captures this brilliantly. But what is most moving is the way Susan writes about how the passage of time, and her own personal spiritual experiences informed her own opinion about Maharishi.
Like so many others, I felt that he was an incredible hypocrite. He told me personally to be celibate and I was married! And then to know with certainty from his assistants that he was having sex with women at the same time. It was maddening.) However, Susan is absolutely correct that he never told us that he was a celibate monk and to be like him. He didn't deny it when others said that, but to my knowledge, he never claimed it at the time. And I've come to think …. does it really matter? We got what we got from him. To this day I still meditate, every day in the am. And I continue to love it.
Susan's book is a hugely entertaining look back and an insightful look forward as well. Highly recommended!
By Orion Hawthorne
Fabulous book! Very well written.... just started reading it for the second time. :-)
Powerful and Eye-Opening
By Amy's Bookshelf Reviews
I wasn't familiar with Maharishi except that he was a popular and iconic guru. The author shares her experiences and even her enlightenment by her time spent with him. It was a grand, heartfelt book that I enjoyed, finding it also inspirational. It was a fascinating story of her experiences and perspective. I knew very little about Transcendental Meditation (TM) before reading this, and I've learned a lot. I am very glad to have read this book.
Courage & Vulnerability
By Carolyn Johnson
I couldn't put this book down at first. I found it highly entertaining,thought provoking and as always with Susan's books contains a great deal of knowledge. I found myself at the end not wanting to finish it because I enjoyed reading about the TM Movement as well as the courage of one woman's journey to find god within herself. The pictures and information about the celebrities involved were icing on the cake. This book was inspiring and just s great read. Thank you to the author for sharing so much of herself and being totally vulnerable.
Revealing the Self, Peeling the Onion
By Sandy Penny
A captivating story of a guru, a devotee, and a time of consciousness expansion. This is a very honest portrayal of what it's like to be a devotee of a guru. It's an interesting read that is both enlightening and disturbing. It shows how our spirit seeks its own path and comes through it with higher understanding and wisdom. It encompasses the magic of life while our ego casts us on the jagged rocks of earthly experiences. The process of intermittent reinforcement leaves one wondering if the devotee was abused or forced to grow - or both. The guru tests the devotee's commitment, challenges the ego's judgments, and wears down beliefs so that the connection with the godness, the oneness, is at last realized. This book is haunting and will continue to challenge you every time you think of it. There is no one right way to seek your god, the universe, or self-realization. Only through the process does one find his/her own way. Definitely worth the read and further consideration. A feast for thought and contemplation. Fantastic photos from Maharishi's time on earth and a time of opening to self-realization for the world.
Beautifully written, deeply felt, and life-changing
By Elizabeth Abbott
What is most extraordinary about this brilliantly written, compelling, heartfelt book is that it challenges our deepest beliefs and allows us to come to our own conclusions. It raises so many difficult questions and asks readers to answer those questions for themselves. Some of those questions are "What is enlightenment?" "How can we spot an enlightened master?" "How do gurus transform their disciples?"
I laughed and cried as I ricocheted through all the extreme, intense emotions beautifully described by the author as she moved through the challenges of the spiritual path. I loved reading this fascinating book. It changed me in profoundly deep ways.
Plus, it was wonderful to read the most coherent, organized, well-researched story I've found about the Beatles' time in India with their guru Maharishi.
Entertaining and insightful
By Casey Coleman
This is an entertaining and insightful book. From sex we ascend spiritually, then we are floating on a cloud of celebrity, then peering into a pond of seeming insanity — or all three? And then we end with Divine Love! What a ride!
A Tour de Force
By Mark Landau
A wonderufl masterful, eloquent evocatioin of what it was like around him, his joy, wisdom, focus, emanations, ego-smashing, world reach and influence, and the things that went on, very thoroughly researched above and beyond her own great wealth of experience, beautifully articulated and filled with love, divine transport, and a plethora of the juiciest tidbits. But beware, through most of it she seems still besotted, only revealing a more ballanced, critical awareness towards the end, though still remaining more firmly on the side of generosity than I feel might be justified. I'm honored to be quoted twice therein.
From a devoted Maharishi TM disciple to experiencing personal immersion with SPIRIT through Divine Revelation
By Purple Rose
This book, "Maharishi & Me", is a memoir of author Susan Shumsky, from during her time when she was a devoted disciple/student of Maharishi Mahesh Yogi (The founder of TM - Transcendental Meditation). She writes about it in a captivating style, holding your attention until the last page. This is a great read, for ex-hippies or normal people alike. While reading this book, you can experience, in your mind, everything she writes about. This book will keep you want to continue reading it until the end and it is quite enlightening.
Over a period of 22 years, starting from being a Hippie turned disciple of the Maharishi. She recounts her experiences as her life evolved as a Practioner of Transcendental Meditation under the guidance of the Maharishi in India.
The Maharishi brought the Eastern Meditation TM to the Western culture when he visited the USA. He became the "Guru" of the famous and not so famous Celebrities which put him and his Transcendental Meditation in the spotlight immediately throughout the world.
Ms Shumsky speaks of the many celebrities coming to visit the Maharishi to learn TM to find enlightenment. She also describes her own life experiences in India and other countries while being a member of the Maharishi's group.
She also recounts of her feeling the effects of the controlling ways of the TM Movement by not really allowing their members to do or participate in any non-TM related activities.
She finally experienced personally that the Divine Presence she has yearned to find all of her life, is within us all through what she calls "Divine Revelation". It can be contacted when called upon. because of this she is now living a fulfilled life, despite challenges. She has learned to tune into her "Higher Self" and to rely on her Inner Guidance at all times.
This book can truly change your life!
By Annette Gore
Susan Shumsky's deeply emotional, touching, heartfelt memoir gives you a peek into the ancient tradition of the master/disciple relationship from India. She spent 22 years studying with Maharishi Mahesh Yogi and spent 6 years on his personal staff. In her memoir she courageously and honestly reveals the extreme emotions that she went through in that process. This is a book for anyone who wants to understand what it means to be a disciple of a spiritual master, and what it takes to transform spiritually by undergoing both the elation and humiliation of the ancient ego-annihilation process tradition of the Far East. Think "Autobiography of a Yogi" meets "Milarepa" and "Chasm of Fire." That's what this book is like. It's a life-changing process just to read it, because as you're reading it, you question everything you thought you knew about enlightenment and about enlightened masters. This book can truly change your life!
Loved it! Susan Shumsky tells her story honestly and ...
By Connie
Loved it! Susan Shumsky tells her story honestly and frankly, and she tells the story of the Transcendental Meditation movement.
Having a guru is hugely challenging. Shumsky conveys the intrigue and complexity of this world, as well as the simplicity and depth of her guru's message. Her insider view of celebrity disciples is enhanced by follow up research. Great fun to read about the Beatles!
Twenty-two years with her teacher, six of which were on staff, has given her a story well worth telling, and very worth reading. It's a rocky road.
An inspiring journey
By Amazon Customer
This is about Susan's spiritual journey from TM to Divine Revelation, her travel & experiences with Maharishi & fellow disciples.
Her honest, detailed & spellbinding narration will appeal to a broad range of readers.
A wonderful slice of the time!
By Allura Janet Adelson
I loved the slice of the time, from the viewpoint and activities of a hippie who became a disciple of the Guru to the Beatles. Susan Shumsky writes honestly about her perception of what really happened, Her words flowed on the page, making it easy to read, and enjoyable. A few points were a little too revealing for me, but I found it a fascinating read
Love the Book
By NancyT
This is a well written book. I love the story she tells about the TM movement and all the famous celebrities who brought attention to meditation. It's actually pretty moving in parts and I got a little emotional reading it… Overall it's a great message and a very entertaining read. I highly recommend!
An insightful adventure into a special time in history. A remarkable and enjoyable read!

Oh how beautiful is spring in the mountains.
The air is so clear and beautiful and I LOVE the mountain wildflowers!
Spring is beautiful in your part of our world. I love the wildflowers, but that snow-capped mountain is pretty incredible as well.
You've shown the breathtaking vistas of the West, Janie. We both live in Paradise! Daisy looks VERY happy.
This is so much nicer to look at than all that white stuff.
A lovely contrast between the snow covered mountain peaks and the colorful spring flowers.
The lake looks so inviting - clear and clean and sparkling and probably icy cold. Ideal for a Labrador.
Beautiful, everything looks so fresh and cool.
Everything is just gorgeous, mountain, flowers and of course the lovely Daisy!
Janie, your ride into the mts. is grogeous, once again. so enjoy your beautiful horses & dog ... love the touch of spring flowers. The vistas are breathtaking.
Your mountains are so different from ours. And both are gorgeous. I must admit the snow-covered high mountains give you a bit of an edge. Just lovely.
Oh my gorgeousness! So much beauty...so glad you are able to get out and soak it up.
The photo of Daisy on 'alert' is so cute!
The snow-capped mountain is gorgeous!
that was a perfectly lovely day.
Woh, this is nice place, everything is marvelous.
Do you have аnу viԁeo of thаt?
Lovely! our mountain snow is almost gone already! and the wildflowers still puny. We had a decent rain (!) 2 nights ago... I'm still holding out hope for a wave of wildflowers!


Internationally acclaimed French designers Ronan and Erwan Bouroullec have worked together in their Paris based design studio since 1999. Their work ranges from functional objects to large-scale architectural projects and can be found in the permanent collections of major international institutions.
For the Miami Design District, UAP worked collaboratively with the Bouroullec team to design develop, engineer and document a series of permanent sculptural canopies, utilising a modular cloud form seen in their earlier work. Fabricated in laser cut and hand-formed stainless steel with 60 individual modules, UAP worked with the client to develop a system that maintains the integrity of the simple modular design, while meeting the structural requirements of the material, scale and exterior site conditions.
The resulting work titled Nuage, promenade, offers shade, shelter and a revitalized urban experience to the Paseo Ponti in the Miami Design District. The canopy engages with the built environment, casting shadow and light through blue and green coloured glass cells. Native plants that will grow and envelope the work over time create a natural connection with surrounding architecture, offering a new and revitalising encounter with the urban environment.

Poland among last countries in Europe still recommending universal BCG vaccination
Poland among last countries...
BCG vaccines are the most used vaccines with more than 4 billion children vaccinated each year. The BCG vaccines are effective in protecting against the disseminated forms of tuberculosis, including meningitis, related with high case-fatality among children.
BCG vaccination is mandatory in Poland and is given to newborns within 24 h after birth or later, before discharge from the hospital. In babies which were not vaccinated at birth, vaccination should be administered as soon as possible, but no later than before 15 years of age. BCG vaccinations are mandatory to all children residing in Poland longer than 3 months. Vaccination coverage reaches the level of 93-95%. Although the number of notified tuberculosis cases is decreasing, WHO epidemiological criteria for tuberculosis control are still not met. Therefore, Poland cannot resign from universal BCG immunization of newborns. Additionally, Poland borders with high-risk countries such as Bielorussia, Ukraine and Russian Federation, and receives an increasing number of visitors from developing countries that were not vaccinated.
Bacillus Calmette-Geurin (BCG) vaccine was developed in 1921 in Pasteur Institute through Mycobacterium bovis bacterial strains passaging (growing new microbiological cultures made by transferring some or all cells from a previous culture to fresh growth medium, until obtaining a strain with desired properties). Then it was given to many vaccines manufacturers in the world. In Poland, BCG vaccine has been used for universal immunization since 1951. Since 1955 BCG vaccine is produced nationally with M. bovis BCG Moreau as an active substance (Biomed, Lublin). Until now, the locally-produced vaccine is the only one used for immunizing children.
The typical adverse events following BCG vaccination (AEFI) are changes in the injection site, peripheral lymph nodes, generalized dissemination, osteitis, keloid, lupus, nodular erythema. The locally-produced vaccine including the Brazilian substrain M. bovis BCG Moreau is less reactogenic than vaccines including other BCG strains. The frequency of AEFI after BCG was estimated as 2/10,000 doses during 1994-2000 and 6/10,000 doses during 2001-2010. Half of them were local reactions at the injection site and the other half – changes in peripheral lymph nodes.
