Review: Lee Chandler (Casey Affleck) is a janitor in this Boston housing complex, but he is none too popular with the residents thanks to his surly, uncommunicative personality that often rubs them up the wrong way. His boss tries to persuade him to apologise to the latest resident he has offended, even though he snapped at her because she was giving him an earful, but he refuses, and continues much as he had before. That is until he receives a telephone call with bad news from Manchester by the Sea, which is his hometown that he left behind some years before: his brother Joe (Kyle Chandler) has had a heart attack - he was a sufferer of a condition that meant it could happen at any time - and now Lee must reluctantly return to arrange his business...
Manchester by the Sea was significant in that it demonstrated how the streaming video services were making inroads not only with the movie distribution, but their production as well. Amazon had been investing in television series, but had branched out into feature films too, ones that were given cinema releases to drum up interest before their availability on their website to subscribers, one major motive for the customers to sign up to using them since you could get exclusive content that these companies were making essential to the home viewing experience. Amazon, unlike Netflix, could afford to give their product disc releases as well, and when this was nominated for Oscars, it felt as though there was a real shift in the movie landscape.
Maybe if this had gone straight onto Amazon's site and bypassed the cinemas it would not have garnered its acclaim at awards season (Affleck secured the Best Actor Oscar for his endeavours), so it could be that its fans were recognising a good film is a good film, no matter what its provenance, and the tastemakers were following suit. However, was this as good as it was cracked up to be? It came from Kenneth Lonergan, a director who was well-known for his troubles on his unwieldy previous effort Margaret after such a promising debut with family drama You Can Count on Me, so in some quarters the welcome Manchester was offered was as much compensation for his lost years as it was for the quality of the work itself.
Certainly, once the dust had settled, not everyone was on board with loving this production, as it was regarded by the naysayers as over two punishing hours of misery barely leavened by a sprinkling of humour, and the fact Affleck had won that Academy Award for doing more or less the same performance as he always gave, with few variations, was somewhat baffling. Not that he was a poor actor, he simply had a very narrow range, and Lee was such a closed off character - he barely gets any dialogue to tell us how he is feeling, and Affleck was giving little away - that time spent in his company became a trial well before the halfway mark. The reasons for this change are evident in the many flashbacks littered throughout that fill in his backstory: he used to have a happy family with wife Michelle Williams (second billed for around ten minutes of screen time), but it all went horribly wrong.
Wrong in a way that the locals of Manchester blamed him for, though it was a minor slip that had major consequences that could have happened to any one of them. This was why he moved away to Boston, and why he is so reluctant to return, though when he arrives he is told Joe has in fact died and now, as per the wishes in his will, Lee must see to looking after Joe's teenage son Patrick (Lucas Hedges), though the extent of that care is not something Lee was prepared for. It seems his brother decided for him that this would bring him back to the world once again after shunning humanity since the tragedy, though it is difficult to perceive any great benefits from the sparse amount of interaction we do see, as Lee is still shunned by most of the locals even at the end, and though there is a measure of contentment achieved by the conclusion, the impression was that he would never get over his mistake. All of this was delivered in a muted, downbeat style in every scene, and monotony set in early on, never lifting as the recognition of what a slog life can be weighed heavily. Despite its good points, a chore to sit through, sadly. Music by Lesley Barber.

Q: How can I update MessageStatus of my account in Facebook I have create a web application that only contains a textbox in which I can type a text in and  press the button to send this text to my status.
I used the follwing link
Facebook Connect and ASP.NET
I have created an application on my facebook profile and I set the API Key & secret key
but I found that SessionKey=Null & UserID=0 and I cannot solve this problem.
All ideas are welcome.
Thank you

A: I'm not sure if you're still trying to use the Facebook Toolkit that is mentioned in that SO post you referenced or not, but I would highly recommend using the Facebook C# SDK. I had multiple connection problems with other libraries and this was the only one that worked for me. This uses the new Facebook Graph API which is much simpler and is the way Facebook is moving.

When you place an account, you usually authorize the agency, with approval, to forward the claim to an attorney in the area where the debtor is located. Of course, the final decision is yours. You must determine whether there is a likelihood of recovery on your claim, and if the probable amount of that recovery will justify the time and expense of litigation.
Litigation can be a very slow process. Although the filing of a suit may prompt the debtor to move forward and settle a case, crowded dockets and stall tactics by the debtor can often delay a judgment for months or even years. And then you still have to collect it.
If you authorize suit, you will be advised of general court costs and the suit fee requested by the attorney. These fees are in addition to the contingent collection fees.
These fees are for work performed in preparing and filing papers, including appearances. Suit fees may be contingent or more commonly non-contingent, or a combination of both.
Process service, filing fees, and other fees vary widely across states and jurisdictions. Court costs can be refunded if collected.
In an uncontested default judgment, witnesses are generally unnecessary. In some cases, however, the court may require a witness. If claims are contested, usually one or more witnesses are necessary who know the issues.

Writing with Sources
The process through which the writer passes to produce an effective piece of writing varies with the writer and the writing task, but this summary describes the process through which most effective writers pass most of the time.
Prewriting
Collect. Effective writing requires an abundant inventory of specific, accurate information. Information is collected through reading, interviewing, observing, and remembering.
Connect. Meaning emerges as pieces of information connect and evolve into patterns. The writer plays with the relationships between pieces of information to discover as many patterns of meaning as possible.
Rehearse. Mentally and on paper, the writer uses writing to explore and move toward meaning. The writer rehearses titles, leads, partial drafts, sections of a potential piece, or sketches of a piece of writing to discover the voice and the form that will lead to meaning and effective communication.
Draft. The writer completes a discovery draft, usually written as fast as possible, often without notes, to find out what he/she knows and does not know, what works and does not work. The writer is particularly interested in what works, since most effective writing is built from extending and reinforcing the positive elements in what has been written.
Develop. The writer explores the subject by developing each point through definition, description, and documentation which show as well as tell the writer, and then the reader, what the piece of writing means. The writer usually needs to add information to understand the potential meaning of what has been written and often must restructure the successive drafts.
Clarify. The writer anticipates and answers the readers' questions. At this stage the writer cuts what is unnecessary and adds those spontaneous touches we call "style." These changes produce the illusion of easy writing that makes for easy reading.
Edit. The writer goes over the piece line by line, often reading aloud, to make sure that each word, each mark of punctuation, contributes to the effectiveness of the piece of writing.

Research on Yale's historical ties to slavery prompts calls for reform
At the annual Gilder Lehrman Center for the Study of Slavery, Resistance and Abolition conference, students and faculty presented research on Yale's historical association with white supremacy and slavery.

The Yale community is facing questions over how to reckon with the University's ties to slavery and racism following new research presented at the annual Gilder Lehrman Center for the Study of Slavery, Resistance and Abolition conference.
On Oct. 29 and 30, students, faculty and New Haven community members presented research examining Yale's historical ties to slavery and racism. The conference comes in the wake of University President Peter Salovey's Oct. 28 formal recognition of Yale's historical ties to slavery. Salovey also announced that Yale would increase its annual voluntary payment to New Haven, erect a memorial recognizing enslaved people and initiate partnerships with historically Black and Indigenous universities. Salovey made the announcement in the keynote address that opened the conference on Thursday.
"I think most of this committee would say that we're only scratching the surface, and that no one should understand the conference as concluding the important work," said Willie Jennings, a committee member of the Yale and Slavery Working Group and theology professor at the Yale Divinity School. "If anything, it is just beginning to dig deeply into that history."
The conference featured research from the working group, which Salovey commissioned in October 2020. Yale was the last Ivy League school to officially examine its history in regards to slavery.
In a session on the study of slavery and race at Yale, Bhasha Chakrabarti ART '22, Patrick Hayes '24 and Donasia Gray '23 discussed their experience learning about this history in a classroom setting though the new undergraduate class "Slavery, Race, and Yale" and investigating through their own archival research.
Chakrabarti emphasized that the research conducted in the class helped inform her understanding of racism at Yale as it continues in the present.
"It was something that tied into my experience of being a student here and trying to feel less alone, or not feel like I'm going crazy," Chakrabarti said. "How can I concretely build a narrative to explain the lived experience that that I'm having?"
Throughout the conference, speakers highlighted how the University has benefited from and actively participated in slavery and racism. Now, some students argue, it is time for the University to take action.
In her presentation, Chakrabarti said that Yale must make reparations to Black students in the University and the Black community in New Haven. Gray, who grew up in New Haven, emphasized the need for Yale to pay taxes and for Yale to reach out and open its doors to New Haven. Hayes discussed the importance for Yale to restructure the Yale Corporation to give people of color and New Haveners representation.
"[The University] will listen to students when we make a racket," Hayes said. "So we should make a racket."
On Oct. 27 the Yale Center for British Art redisplayed a painting of Elihu Yale and a shackled enslaved child, a controversial symbol of Yale's past which was put under an extensive year-long investigation in the summer of 2020.
The conference held a break-out session discussion on Friday in which research leaders displayed their findings on the portrait. Courtney Martin, director of the Yale Center for British Art, spoke at the beginning of the event, and Senior Curatorial Assistant Abigail Lamphier, Coordinator of Cataloguing David K. Thompson and Head of Collections Information and Access Edward Town presented the committee's research.
"As an art historian the painting held little significance for me, but as a person, I understood that the presence of that child in this painting was not benign," Martin, who formed the research team, said at the opening of the session.
Although a driving purpose of the study was to discover the identity of the enslaved child, the committee explained that the child's identity is still unknown. It has been determined that the boy appears to be 10 years old, and that he most likely served as a child attendant after being enslaved and brought to Britain. The majority of the presentation, however, focused not on the child, but on the three other men who surrounded Elihu Yale, assumed to be his two sons-in-laws and heir.
On Saturday, students and professors discussed Yale's connection to the eugenics movement and medical practices tied to beliefs of racial inferiority. Nithya Krishnamurthy '22 highlighted Yale's links to the American Eugenics Society, which was founded in 1926 by Yale economics professor Irving Fisher.
AES was headquartered at the heart of Yale's campus and run largely by Yale faculty. The society focused on "eugenic birth control," and aimed to improve mankind by regulating the reproduction of those "deemed racially degenerate or feeble-minded."
"The truth is that the people that make up Yale's past have left in their wake an institution built upon their principles; students today take classes in the same rooms where professors have espoused principles of eugenics, in buildings named after men who profited from slave trade and labor," Sami Elrazky '22 said.
Mariko Rooks MPH '22 also spoke about how the legacy of this history, and the refusal to acknowledge it, continues today.
Rooks said she does not see most professors "taking accountability" to present this history in class as an integral part to understanding the foundations of medical practices, especially with epidemiology and statistics. She argued that the conversation cannot consist merely of mentioning a certain scientific figure was a slave owner, but rather the foundational ways of measuring and quantifying people.
"We never sit with or reckon with any of this," Rooks said.
According to Rooks, many of the core professors at the Yale School of Public Health are white, and student activists fighting for this history to be taught, especially in introductory courses, have faced major pushback.
Professor of ethnicity, race and migration Daniel HoSang compared IQ testing, a central focus of the eugenics movement, to the current emphasis on standardized testing in institutions of higher education.
"That's not to say that [standardized tests] are inherently eugenic or bad, but it is to say that they come from this tradition, and we should understand their complicated legacies and figure out what role they play in our lives now," HoSang said. "I think the best outcome of this conference is to raise a set of complex questions that aren't easy to answer rather than thinking we're just going to settle the historic record once and for all. This conference is not about adjudicating something. It's about asking better questions."
All of the recorded sessions, and a full list of events, are available online.

The Gay Alexes and the Hivemind Party, originally named Psyphonophoria: a short story
"So how do you know the gay Alexes?" Francis asks, not the best at conversation, a fact someone else exacerbates.
"You can't call them that." Robin? objects. She doesn't look pleased, watching from between black coils of hair the way a big cat does from reeds. Francis makes sure to keep track of Robin?'s nails just in case.
"I don't have a problem with it. It's just, I mean they are. And this is, well, this is their engagement thing, isn't it? It's hardly irreverent."
"Who even are you?" Asks Robin? hypocritically.
"I'm Kalade's friend."
"Oh, is she here?" The first-time Robin? doesn't sound annoyed for no apparent reason.
"She will be here soon; we were supposed to meet but she's been delayed."
"So do you know anyone here, other than Alex and Alex?"
"No, just them. So are they engaged?"
"Hell no, god no, bureaucracy is to romance as hydrogen fluoride is to, well anything but Teflon basically." Message is received. "Plus, they'd never do that to each other's identity."
"So what's being celebrated?"
"They're starting a hivemind, so I've heard."
Francis takes a minute to think of the perfect excuse not to talk to Robin? anymore, then doesn't, walking away without a word and half hearing her mutter rude from behind. A quick tsunami-subtle look at his phone shows no new messages from Kalade. She'd said she'd be here soon, significantly longer than soon-ago.
"Hey! How is guy?" Someone either enjoying the party and/or intoxicated tries to force eye contact. "Don't think I've seen you before. The name's Vaudaline." She's still talking, not stopping despite Francis' growing unease. "Aw, don't be afraid, it's only me. You need someone to hang out with." Yes! Not her, though. "It's cool, baby. I'll stick around."
Francis finally finds the words, "That sounds nice." The wrong words, that is, followed by platitudes, "So how do you know the Alexes?"
"Oh me, I just sort of know people. Everyone really."
"Do you know Robin?"
"No Robins actually. Why? Who's that?"
"Oh, nobody. I don't know any either, really. I know Kalade, though."
"Oh, then that makes you… Francis, right? No need to tell me, she describes you verbosely and vividly, maybe too vividly. No offence meant, but you know how she is." Francis does, but doubts Vaudaline knows what she's talking so excessively about. "You okay without her here?"
"I heard something about a hivemind." He interrupts, not liking Vaudaline's assumption that he needed help.
"Isn't it the most romantic? I mean, why just be with someone when you can actually be them?"
"Like literally?"
"Well, what would be the point of doing it figurative?" As confidently as she says it, Francis isn't fooled into thinking that's a thing.
"So how's this work?"
"Well you know, one mind shared over multiple bodies, duh."
"That's not what I mean. How do they actually…?" He'd have to be obscene to mean anything, so stops. "I'm going for a drink. Be back soon." Soon in the sense Kalade meant it.
The drinks are, thankfully, on a table in a room too small for dancing and with walls to block the blaring beat. Unfortunately, there's still one person there, asymptoting up to the cheese pieces.
"Hello." It takes Francis quite the time to pick that to say.
"Oh hello. Who's you?"
"Kalade's friend. And you?"
"Lerronix. Francis, right? Pleasure." Francis has no idea why he's holding out a hand. "Well quite. What's Kalade up to then? I heard she was on to live ones now?"
"Not much of a conversationalist, are you?"
"Not much of an eater of dairy, are you?"
"Not If I want to make it through the evening uninverted. Then again," he leans in closer to Francis. "If you want to know a secret, I tend to keep one or two on me. In case I need to suddenly leave somewhere. Doesn't help that these things are as delicious as they are dangerous."
Francis takes a step back. Not sure what to make of Lerronix, other than an exit.
Out in the hall, to save committing to one room or another, he stumbles upon Robin? again. It's cramped but less crowded than anywhere else, so he'll have to put up with her. She's not noticed him anyway. Instead, she's paying attention to a painting, framed on the wall in a golden waterfall. It's of a woman laying down in the desert, back against an hourglass of ivory sand with her reflection below. She's draped in a dress that just keeps going overflowing. But it's her face that has Robin? so wrapped, the way her eyes are closed as she knows something she's not telling Robin? a reason she's so relaxed perhaps.
"Between yellow and blue, equally endless." Robin? says to no one in particular.
"Is it from something?" Francis feels compelled to ask, more from curiosity than caring.
"Oh, it's you again. Kalade's… person she knows." Robin?'s entirely true reply.
"That's me. What was it you were saying?"
"Oh, just admiring the art. Wondering what she's thinking."
"I do that a lot, too. When they're more real, though. But that bit about yellow and blue?"
"Oh, the painting just reminded me of it. It's from a story I read when I was younger, but it's nothing really."
It's a while before one of them starts. "About earlier." And the other replies "Don't worry. It's okay."
"So the Alexes?" Francis asks.
"Are they already… together?"
"I think the correct term is 'one;' but no, not yet. I mean, they should be soon. But I imagine they'll make a show out of it. You know them, but can you blame them? It's a pretty big moment."
"Sure sounds like it."
"Not as a rule, no."
"Oh, I meant… never mind."
"Why aren't you with everyone else?"
"There's an ex marking the spot where I'd have to dig up something better-left-buried in the main room."
"Didn't go well?"
"No it didn't. He'll still be dying to show me the second most phallic part of his anatomy, after his personality." Francis does something charitably-intended as a laugh before Robin? continues. "I guess it is funny when it's not you. I don't think he knows it's over, either. He called me up, last month– the first thing he'd said to me all year."
"Which words?"
"'Happy Birthday.' I was partying the night away at the time, and out of nowhere he just dropped all this past on me. Ruined my mood."
"Everyone come in!" There's a call from the sitting room, followed by persons being secreted from the various rooms they'd ended up invading. Soon enough too many people have converged together. The Alexes are standing centre stage, high on the amphetamine of attention.
"Hello! So you should all now know what we're here for. Am I right?" There's a cheer Francis didn't feel comfortable committing to. Alex continues. "That's right, this is a big moment for me and Alex. Or should that be for me and me? But let's not get ahead of ourselves. And it sure is ourselves, because we wanted to share this with everyone. But first, Alex, my love." The two Alexes stand in the centre of the room, eyes locked. Very publicly having a private moment.
"This is what you want?"
"What could I want more than you?"
"Only to be one."
Then they embrace. Francis feels compelled to ask someone, so settles for Robin?.
"So how does it happen?" This time at least remembering to whisper.
"I don't know exactly." Robin? replies. But before they can go further, the Alexes come apart for an announcement.
"Thank you everyone. I hope you enjoy this evening. There are snacks in the kitchen, and the music is– well, as long as you like it loud." Most people leave the room, rather confused, having expected more of a show. They return to partying sans the pomp and circumstance. Likewise, Francis expected something to see but doesn't do any dispersing just yet.
"Excuse me, Alex." There's only him and Robin? and the two Alexes left for now. The two Alexes turn simultaneously then one greets.
"What just happened?" Francis feels offended no one else thought it worth asking, taking this nonsense as read.
"Oh, we started a hivemind. Didn't you read the invitations?" Alex replied matter-of-factly.
"Well, okay then. Except not at all, because that's not okay." Robin? puts her arm on Francis's, to which he recoils. "Get off me. I'm trying to get things straight."
"It's okay, it's natural to have questions, just as what happened just now is completely natural." Alex begins. Francis was not at all fond of how which mouth each word came out of is seemingly random.
"But it doesn't make sense," is Francis's rather weak reply.
"Love doesn't make sense, but it happens," Alex replies in the same irritatingly selves-assured tone they keep using.
"Pheromones, I think." Robin? adds, being decidedly unhelpful. Alex elaborates.
"You see, it's more a case of– wait, sorry. I need a moment. I'll be back." One of the Alexes leaves while the other continues. "Don't worry I'm just going to the bathroom. Now, where was I? Yes, so, it's just about having a connection with someone, being so close that eventually you just… bond, until you can't tell what parts of you as a person are you and which parts are them."
"Wait back a bit." Robin? stops them. "Are you talking to us from the bathroom? That's just… gross." She has a point.
"No, I'm talking to you from here. It's just that I'm also elsewhere, fulfilling an entirely natural need."
"No, I'm not having it. It's just too…" Robin? looks for the right word before Francis finds it for her.
"Intimate. It's just wrong."
"Well, apologies if I've not yet coordinated all of my assholes, assholes." There's a pause, and a flash of regret across his face like distant, embarrassed thunder. "No, sorry, that was uncalled for. I shouldn't have called you that. You're welcome to join me if you like."
"Isn't it a bit loud or crowded with both of you in there?" Robin? asks.
"No, it's only me. But I can see how someone without personal experience would be confused."
"So what's it like then? Suddenly being two people at once." Robin?'s curiosity has overcome her embarrassment
"One person."
"One person, sorry. I mean what's it like being one person, at once?"
"Well, you know when you remember something you didn't know you'd forgotten? It's like that, but with a life as opposed to where you left your lunch."
"But what about when you have memories on top of each other; isn't that all cognitive dissonance?"
"Well you know how you remember Tuesday and Wednesday differently? It's like that, but they're both Tuesday."
"So how does it feel?"
"Honestly? Wonderful! Better than I could have hoped. It's funny to think part of me doubted doing this. But I'm glad I talked myself into it now. It's doing wonders for my self-confidence. I get to see myself through the eyes of someone who genuinely loves me, see all the things they think are cute." The other Alex returns. "Like here, see this body? I mean, I don't think from the inside looking out I ever got a good angle on it– but now? Damn, am I right?" Francis really wishes Alex wouldn't high-five like that. "Now, go have fun, you two. I have guests to greet. Who knows, maybe there are others who might take a dip within me?" Alex leaves.
"Weird, right?"
"So weird." Francis is glad to have Robin? here as a confidant who wasn't at all taken in by whatever is going on.
"Like, I'd never–"
"No, me either."
"But we should totally follow them and see what the hell happens with them and the other people right?"
"Totally, but I should try and call Kalade first, see where she is." No answer.
Alex has stumbled onto Lerronix, so stands on either side of him.
"Hey, guy. Why are you eyeing up my snacks so funny like?"
"Oh hi, Alex, and Alex."
"Just the once is fine, friend."
"Well, I'm trying to decide how much of a bad reaction is worth the taste."
"Oh, same! I mean, I never got to eat it when I was younger," Alex spoke out of one mouth while the other stuffed itself. "But of course now I can have all the cheese I want, and damn does it taste as good as I remember."
"Are you trying to talk me into a meltdown?" (meltdown is maybe the wrong word here. Do you mean into gastric distress? Meltdown isn't as meaningful a word to NTs)
"Could be, big guy. Or, you're always welcome to join me. What do you say?"
"Intriguing, but how exactly?"
"All you need do is talk, get to know me, and I get to know you. Start with what it's like not being able to eat what you want."
What follows is quite an extensive conversation neither Robin? nor Francis follow. It's surprising how dull other people's problems can be when you've no sense of it happening to you. Snapping back into focus when Lerronix walks away past, Robin? feels the need to ask him.
"Lerry, what happened exactly?"
"Oh not much, just talking to myself. You should eat something. It's good food."
"Francis, a word?" Robin? does her best to stress the importance of the situation.
"Which?" That having failed, pulling him into the nearest closet proved much more effective.
"You and me should leave. This is just… just wrong, isn't it? Please, tell me that I'm not the only one who sees it."
"Well, I can't say I'd be any judge. But, I mean, I assume this doesn't happen so often, at least not around people I know. But I need to wait. I'm only here because Kalade is coming, and I couldn't let her walk in here alone."
"Can't you call and warn her?"
"And say what?"
"Try the truth."
After listening to the voicemail message for a third time– "Hi, this is Dr. Kalade Thethry speaking. Sorry, but I'm busy, which means someone's probably dying, but hopefully only a little. Leave a message and I'll get back to you soon."— Francis shoots Robin? a worried wobbling sort of stare.
"Why don't you leave a message?"
"Her voicemail has messages from the last person she dated. Anyway, if she's on her way over, she'll be out in the open and won't want to listen in public."
"Ok Francis, I get it. You want to be loyal to her; that, at any other time, I'd applaud. Maybe we could go back along the route she'll take to get here. Would that help?"
"No, no, we might miss her. She could go the way she's gone every time since I've known her, or she could decide to go some other way, or there could be a change to the tube schedule, or there could be roadworks, or…"
"The point's been made, and it's okay. If you're staying, I'll stay too. But we're not leaving each other's sight. Is that okay, Francis?"
There's a knock on the closet door and an all-too-familiar voice.
"I can tell you it's not exactly comfortable in there. Now come out, enjoy yourselves, mingle. You might meet someone. Quick, before I get my hands on them." Alex manages not to make that sound like a threat at all. Silently Robin? nods.
"Okay, we'll come out. Mind giving us some space?"
"Not at all." Alex obliges. Robin? and Francis get out of the closet while people obviously pretend not to pay attention.
"Do you think anyone noticed?" Francis asks.
"One or two, sure. then again how many of them are the same person by now?"
"You assume I work faster than I do." One of the crowd speaks. "Oops, sorry. Wrong mouth." The Alex that asked them to leave the wardrobe takes over talking. "You know, I'm not forcing this on anyone, right?" Specifically addressing Robin? this time. "This could be what helps get our relationship get back on track. Remember…"
The sentence is interrupted by a punch that sounds almost as satisfying as the sound of it causing several different people in different rooms to simultaneously blurt OW or equivalent expletives. Francis makes a mental note to be more careful what he says around Robin?. Alex reels back before being caught by several of the spectators. "Now that…" But Alex thinks better of continuing before giving Robin? her say.
"For the last time, we broke up, or don't you see that now? Isn't it obvious why? Why would you ever let him be inside you? Why would I?"
"Now I do, thinking about it from the outside. I see what you mean. Damn, I can be an ass, can't I?" Robin? doesn't say yes. "But really, I'm not trying to fight you. This thing, this hivemind, it's just a chance to be a better person, like, I'm more self-aware, more experienced. My previous lack of understanding of both sets of genitals is not as devastating now. Just imagine. Why be yourself when you can be the best of so many people? Anyway, at least three of me could take you in a fight. But that's beside the point. I'm not going to fight you. You can go, both of you. I'll tell Kalade you went home if that's what you want." Robin?, about to leave, stops when hearing Francis start to speak.
Robin Sighs. "You hear that? No! We're staying. To keep an eye on things… I guess."
"Thanks." Francis says with an all-wrong inflection.
"Sure, if you'd rather. Now if you'll excuse me, I'll go get some ice for this eye of mine. The fact I have so many now doesn't make me any less keen on keeping these peepers. You get me?" Several other people laugh. "Hive mind humour. I guess you wouldn't get it." Someone brings Alex ice as Robin and Francis find somewhere else to be.
Francis breaks the silence once they find their way out into the garden. "Can I get you a drink? Punch maybe?" Further down on the grass some people are playing blindfolded beer pong suspiciously well.
Robin waits to respond. "While I'll give you points for the pun, I maybe don't want to be any drunker than I already feel sober. I can be a little, effervescent, with my fists. I'm sorry about that. It wasn't cool of me."
"I thought it was kinda cool, actually."
"Thanks, I appreciate it. But no, I'd still rather not drink."
"Me either. I could tell you some good juices to try but they spend so much on alcohol, no one ever buys them. Can I ask something?"
"Has a no ever stopped you? But, yes."
"What's keeping you out of it? I mean I know why it makes me uncomfortable. It's just so personal. It's like being so close to someone you're in the same place, like you can't cut them off if you just need some time to yourself. But I get that that's not normal, at least as far as I can tell from tonight since it's only us making a fuss."
"No, just because everyone else has gone crazy doesn't mean you're wrong, and just because everyone else has gone comfortable, that doesn't mean you're wrong either. I'm sure Kalade will agree with you. But if you want to know why I'm not up for it– well, let's just say I don't think someone as-" She looks for the right word, before settling for. "-as much myself, should have multiple bodies to throw at a problem, let alone each other– a fact I think I just reminded Alex of, so I can't imagine them repeating the offer."
"And if they do?"
"First instinct is to keep reminding them. But maybe we should at least try and talk again. After all, if we wait too long, it'll just be us left to talk to and we don't want that."
"Oh, don't we?"
"Not what I meant, but I'd like to at least get to know some people first. You can follow me if you like. I'll stop thinking of it as stalking."
"Thanks. I'd like that."
"But feel free to bail when your girlfriend gets here."
"I like you, if you couldn't tell. You're preferable to anyone currently here."
"You know, I bet Vaudaline is still herself. She'd not buy into this."
Sure enough, Vaudaline is rather blatantly Vaudaline. Sprawled on a sofa like a she's on a gurney for the over-partied. Either halfway undressed or halfway dressing, showing a lack of taste as characteristic as a fingerprint.
"Oh hi, guys. Just a moment." She sits up, smiling about something. "You know it's pretty funny, you'd think a hive mind would be better at multitasking, but no… apparently if you get one too hot under the collar the heat conducts all the way through to the others. You should see their faces, all of them. Heard one or two's extacy echoing clear across the property." She gave a wry look to the nearest nobody, presumably an Alex.
"I guess this one here's just better at keeping things under wraps. Still, shame to stop half way through." Neither Francis nor Robin have anything to say in response. "If Kalade were here, she'd laugh. Now, what can I do for you if I can't do for myself at the moment?"
"Well, me and Francis just felt like checking in on you. Making sure." Robin is the first to speak.
"I'm right here as well," An Alex interjected.
"Making sure you stay yourself. Keeping an eye on all these Alexes."
"All one of me?"
"Yes. All one of you."
"Nah, don't worry, I don't buy into it." Vaudaline reassures, "I'd already know anyone intimately anyway, and I've promised to keep so many secrets from people that I can't let my brain become public record."
"Alternatively," Adds Alex, "You've promised to keep secrets for me, not from me, and I'd be able to absolve you of any obligation you might otherwise feel. But, you'll at least hear my pitch?"
"Oh, I'll hear you, dear. I'll even be nice and listen."
"I'm sure this'll be good." Robin? rolls her eyes.
"Why the change of mind?" Not that Francis noticed.
"Talk then." Robin? prompts Alex.
"So you see– well, I was thinking, since you know so many people, and more specifically know how to please so many people…"
"True, I do. Continue," Vaudaline flattered, relaxing back and stretching to smuggle a yawn through before admiring how claw like her nails had come out for the evening.
"Well, maybe you could help settle a few disputes. There have been a few entirely minor disagreements. Growing pains. I haven't always been aware who I'd be sharing with, and maybe I'm feeling a little like I was tricked, despite knowing that this won't always be an issue. I'd like to hear it from someone else. I thought if I were more diplomatic, more empathetic, I could more easily figure out how I was feeling."
"Oh. I see." Vaudaline considers. As usual, figuring out what she's thinking isn't easy for anyone. "Well, I can see how that'd be tricky, but you aren't exactly selling me on the whole deal. What do you make of this?" She asked Robin? and Francis.
"Don't listen. Alex isn't the most trustworthy. You know they tried to get back together with me before coming to you?"
"Well, not strictly before." Alex isn't helping. "Vaudaline, just imagine what you could be. How many times have you expanded my horizons? But haven't you always been held back by other people's restraint? Imagine how much potential there'd be if you had more bodies at your disposal. You could sample yourself from the other side of the skin. I can tell you from experience, I'd no comprehension of how it would feel being someone else."
"I'm listening." Vaudaline lilted apathetically, still playing hard to get.
"No! You aren't! You can't be! Did you forget the whole deep internal division problem?" Robin? urged, keen to keep that in Vaudaline's mind.
"Well, we've all been there, and I'm capable of making my own choices. Sure, higher planes of existence will have a few kinks to work out. I'll even add a couple of my own, I think."
"No, I don't have to watch this. I'm going before I feel like fighting someone again." Robin? leaves. Francis follows.
Soon enough, they're in the hall by the door, Robin? searching for her coat. "I'm sorry Francis, but this place, it's just getting crazier. I get if you don't want to leave. I'm happy waiting outside with you for Kalade to come if you need."
There's a knock.
"Hello? Can I come in?" Francis opens the door.
"Kalade! You came?"
"'Course I came. I wouldn't miss this for the world. Sorry you were alone for awhile."
"Oh no, it's fine. I had someone to hang out with."
"Hi, funny seeing you again. I must say, my replacement is a pretty decent guy." Robin? waves to Kalade.
"Now come on, he's not your replacement. He's himself, aren't you, Francis?"
"See? Autonomy and everything."
"You didn't tell me you used to date Kalade." It's not exactly an accusation, but more a statement of curiosity than a question.
"No, I didn't. I mean, I did. I'm not denying doing it, or denying not telling you. But you'll forgive me for having other things on my mind. Like, for the sake of example, this whole hivemind thing." Robin? asserts, having a polygon's worth of points– so at least three.
"Oh good, glad to hear that's gotten going." Kalade hangs up her coat. "I am terribly sorry I'm late, but I guess it gave you more time to get along with people. And for that, I'm glad. I think you're finally coming out of your chrysalis, honey. How do you feel about joining me?"
"Wait! I was going to warn you about this. I don't think we should be here. It's just not right"
"Look, sweetie, I know that socialising isn't exactly the easiest for you, but we've been making progress, we can get a little extra vert into you. Look in nature, there are these weird animals, but they're actually like a pile of animals. The thing is you can't tell because of how interdependent they are. If you separate them, they'd die, but together these things just thrive. Together. Think what they could do for you? Do for us as a couple. We'd actually be able to communicate."
"Shut up, Kalade!" Robin? leers, even to Francis, clearly holding back salt or slaps. "You don't get to do this. Francis, just because you're awkward, and yeah you are– but that doesn't mean you need to fix anything. You are, legitimately, not just in a because-he's-trying or an in-spite of-his-condition sort of way– you are cool. You know, sometimes the most comforting thing is someone who's also clearly uncomfortable, and that meant a lot to me tonight. Look, if you do whatever it is they're doing, they'll be cooler for it, but you'll lose out. I should go, I waited for Kalade like I promised, but I can't be here any longer. Look me up later, maybe." Robin? leaves, not letting anyone else say anything.
As soon as she's gone, "And that, that is why we broke up. She thinks it's ok to glorify people's problems, like it's somehow poetic or beautiful to be ostracised, but that just stops people from getting the help they need. The help I want to give you. I want to be the part of you that helps you get through this Francis. Please. Me and Alex have been talking about it for a while." Speaking of, Alex is quick to come down the stairs, this time someone significantly more attractive.
Alex greets her, "Kalade, glad you could make it finally! I hope the delays weren't too bad?"
"Not at all. How many are you?"
"Just one, but I know what you mean. At my latest count, 20 or 32 or so. Everyone else is either asleep or they left, I think. You know, that's the weirdest feeling– when part of you is in a dream, but other parts are wide awake. I tell you it does things to your sense of time. But now, do you think you're ready?"
"I think so. Are you okay, Francis?"
"I'm not, no. I can't, I… I don't."
"Breathe Francis, it's okay, it'll be okay. I'll go in, and you can see how it's fine. And then, it'll be me. We've done more mind-altering things before, after all. Remember our first time, how we just sort of stumbled through it, but we got so much better? Think about how far we've already come, and that was an uphill battle. I know it's hard, but I promise I'll make it as easy as I can for you. I can be that part of you that understands people. You can be better."
"Okay, I'll follow you anywhere. You know that, and I want that. I want to change for us."
"Wonderful! Oh, you two will just love it." Alex celebrates. "I'll have myself bring in some snacks for when you're done. And trust me, if you thought the first time was good… well, just you wait until you try the first time without having half of the experience happen to someone else. Kalade, when you're ready."
"I'm ready."
There's a pause.
"Is it my turn? Can I join you?" Francis ventures.
"Francis. I'm so sorry." Kalade takes a breath, flailing for the right words. "I didn't think, didn't have all the information together. I meant it when I said you could come join me even knowing what you were like, but I didn't understand how things worked. I understood how things worked, but I wasn't honest with myself about you, didn't think… but you can't… I can't. Someone like you, in here, you couldn't be part of this. You'd risk the whole structure. What I am, what I've accomplished– it would fall apart within here. I'm sorry, I don't even know how we could really connect, thinking about it. You're just not someone I can bring myself to be."
"But Kalade, you promised."
"I promised myself. We've both been lied to."
"But only one of us has lied. Fine! Alex, do whatever you want; but Kalade, please come back."
"There is no coming back. Even so soon, it'd be like trying to cut the milk out of tea. And who knows what damage it could do? What if we ended up with any parts of a mind and body that didn't match? I couldn't risk doing that dysphoria to any of myself."
"But you…"
"I never said there was any undoing this. That wasn't something I lied about. I'm still, I'm still your girlfriend. I still wanted you to be here, to be with me."
"Still? Even though I'm damaged goods, and fixing me would be beyond your empathy? No, I'm gone. You kept me waiting, kept me here all night. I need to find Robin."
"Please, I deserve for you to be angry at me, but at least at me. Please stay."
"Why? Aren't there enough people here already?"
"I don't want to be by myself right now. I feel like I'd be bad company."
"That's observant of you. I could learn something… if I cared to stay."
"Please. Francis, I'm lonely."
But Francis is already running. He doesn't know where to, but he's covering ground fast. He figures maybe if he's lucky, he'll catch up with that silhouette that's agonizingly approaching escape velocity from him. He regrets not getting fitter. She effortlessly steps out of and over the of depth each of his desperate breaths with a confident stride and carries on oblivious.
Painful as calling out is, he has to squeeze his chest tight enough to spit up the words far as he can manage. "Hey, Robin!" But she doesn't stop.
"ROBIN!" She stops, as if caught mid-thought before stepping forward.
Last try. "ROBIN!" Nothing.
Or not. Robin? turns on her heels pointing at herself as if to ask if he's talking to her. "Hey, Francis?"
"It's still me! I'm still me."
"I know. I figure anyone else would have known my name."

REMUS SharkCam: The hunter and the hunted from Woods Hole Oceanographic Inst.
In 2013, a team from the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution took a specially equipped REMUS "SharkCam" underwater vehicle to Guadalupe Island in Mexico to film great white sharks in the wild. They captured more than they bargained for.
The Florida Museum of Natural History has a neat tool available on their website: an interactive map of every single (reported) shark attack, worldwide, since 1580.
You can zoom in on specific regions (Florida is pictured above), and the map allows you to sort by species when the species was known.
Information is broken down by "Attacks", "Fatal Attacks", and "Year of Last Fatality".
A wealth of information, if shark-attack-related information was somehow equivalent to wealth.
The interface is a bit clunky, and the design is definitely pre-web-2.0, but the information is great.
Most reported attacks occur in the 20th and 21st centuries, presumably because of better recordkeeping.
But with that in mind, the number of reported unprovoked fatal shark attacks since 1580 is . . . only a measly 492.
To put that in context, more orcs died in Peter Jackson's Return of the King than humans have died in reported shark attacks since John Smith (Pocahontas) was born.
The map is here. And for a fun take on the data, check out David Shiffman's awesome article (and my source for the map): "24 species of shark that have killed fewer people than Jack Bauer on 24".


I'm here at Atlassian Summit 2019, which is bigger and better than ever. The Mandalay Bay Convention Center in Las Vegas is a great venue—much more spacious than where the event has been held in San Jose in the past—and the mood is upbeat.
One of yesterday's biggest announcements was that Atlassian will be rolling out a new cloud offering designed more for the enterprise. Cloud Premium will come with a 99.9% uptime service level agreement, unlimited data storage and Premier Support. While the goal is that Cloud Premium will eventually also include unlimited users, Atlassian implied that the initial offering will include approximately 10,000 users.
Cloud Premium is also expected to include some unique features. A "Super Admin" mode will give administrators more power than they have now. Advanced road maps will make it easier for product managers to design their release schedules. And built-in analytics on page and space usage will enable administrators to easily see which content is being used and which is not.
As anyone who has migrated an Atlassian application from on-prem to the cloud knows, the current migration process is quite complex. Atlassian has evidently heard the grumbling, as they're working on a new migration tool that will simplify things.
Enhancements for cloud services – New automation for deployment of Data Center on AWS and Azure, plus simpler templates that will make more use of native cloud features.
High availability support for AWS Aurora – This is good news for those who want to make use of this highly-available database instead of RDS, which is the database that Atlassian currently supports for AWS.
Content Delivery Network (CDN) support – This will speed things up for the end user by allowing you to cache all of the content that does not change, such as images and parts of the interface. This way when users access content the only thing the application will have to produce is the content itself. Notably, Atlassian is claiming that 80% of Jira's page content can most likely be cached. In testing they're seeing 30% faster page loads with Jira, and 25% faster page loads with Confluence.
Rate limiting APIs – This one is a pretty big deal, as it will provide protection against abuse or denial of service attacks in the REST API. Once this rolls out you'll be able to put a limit on how many connections a user can make per minute (or something along those lines) in Jira, Jira Service Desk and Bitbucket.
Automatic HTTP/2 support – This is another performance enhancement. Atlassian is seeing up to 20% performance improvement with this on browsers that support HTTP/2.
Single location for permissions & licenses in Crowd – This feature will allow you to log in to Crowd Data Center and see all of your Jira, Jira Service Desk, Bitbucket and Confluence permissions and licenses in one place. No more logging into each individual Atlassian product to access this data.
Last month Atlassian acquired AgileCraft, which provides an executive-level reporting view on what your Agile and software development teams are doing. Yesterday Atlassian announced that this product is being rebranded as Jira Align. Same cloud product, new name.
Finally, I would be remiss if I didn't mention Coyote Creek's booth. Our Atlassian Magicians have been wowing the crowd with mind-bending tricks, the professional magician has been a lot of fun, and everyone loves the cool swag. If you're here at Summit and have not yet seen our booth, please stop by booth #315 and check it out.
The live magician at our booth was a big hit!

Rationale: L-T3 dosing effects
Each modality of thyroid hormone therapy, including standard L-T4 therapy, has the power to artificially shift the TSH-T4-T3 relationship. For example, one cannot simply increase L-T4 dose and assume it will convert into more T3, especially if T4 is already fairly high in range. Deiodinase 2 activity is reduced by higher levels of T4 in patients, as we discuss in the section on Reverse T3 and Deiodinase Type 3.
The T3 hormone, whether taken as synthetic L-T3 or natural desiccated thyroid (DTE) also has its unique effects on hormone levels in blood.
In a study of the properties of a fast-acting L-T3 therapy, Jonklaas et al (2015) confirmed what has been known since the 1950s: upon oral ingestion, there is a sharp rise and fall in T3 levels that occurs in the first 5-7 hours. After the peak serum T3 level, which occurs on average 2.5 hours post-dose for women and 3 hours post-dose for men, T3 levels may sharply drop off, especially if the dose is mostly "supraphysiological," as it was in Jonklaas's study, which tested the effects of T3 by significantly overdosing euthyroid subjects on 50mcg of T3 hormone. The sharp drop in T3 level occurs far sooner than expected and may be due to a physiological safety mechanism not yet understood, such increased binding of free hormone or the conversion of excess T3 into T2.
Normally, TSH takes weeks to adjust to T4 hormone dose changes. In contrast, as shown in a 2015 pharmacokinetic study by Jonklaas et al, oral ingestion of T3 hormone has an exaggerated suppressive effect on TSH within the first hour, even before T3 reaches its peak level in bloodstream at 2.5-3 hours. This has also been known since the 1950s, when a low TSH was not feared as barrier to its use. [23]
This TSH-suppressive effect is partly because the short-acting hormone is absorbed in pulses via the GI tract, rather than gradually through thyroidal secretion and T4 hormone conversion. [174]
It may also partly be due to the ratio of free versus bound molecules of T3 that are released into the bloodstream from this synthetic formulation.
Most of all, it is likely due to the ability of T3 hormone in particular to suppress Thyrotropin Releasing Hormone (TRH), which is the hormone from the hypothalamus that triggers the pituitary gland to secrete TSH. As researchers have stated, "Regulation of TRH transcription by thyroid hormone is relatively rapid because the exogenous administration of thyroid hormone can suppress transcription of the TRH gene in the PVN [the hypothalamic paraventricular nucleus] within 5 hours." [175]
As shown in Jonklaas et al's study, after approximately 7 hours post-dose, T3 levels in serum gradually decrease closer to baseline (pre-dose) levels. TSH levels then remain suppressed for up to 3 days after a single 50mcg dose, which means that TSH levels do not reflect the average level of T3 in serum any longer. Research on Thyrotropin Releasing Hormone (TRH) has similarly shown this delayed restoration of TSH: "restoration of circulating levels of T3 to normal levels in hypothyroid rats without the administration of T4 does not normalize TRH gene expression in the PVN [the hypothalamic paraventricular nucleus]." [175]
Given the peaks shown in Jonklaas et al's study, contemporary doctors are concerned that T3 levels will spike far above the reference range and harm the patient. However, the degree to which T3 levels rise above "normal" reference range depends on at least two factors: the patient's pre-dose level of Free T3, and the size of the dose. To even out the peaks and troughs, patients often multi-dose throughout the day, splitting their total daily dose into smaller doses every 5-12 hours.
Although some researchers have lamented that L-T3 dosing is not feasible for patients because it is inconvenient to dose too often, this is a factor that depends on patient education and their desire to manage their hypothyroidism. Diabetes patients are educated and entrusted to manage their own monitoring and medication. A patient who actively seeks L-T3 therapy is more likely to give it their best effort.
Some doctors, out of their fear of T3 peaks, advise patients to take a dose of L-T3 a few hours before a lab test in order to measure the peak dose. [31] However, this approach emphasizes the short-term peak more than the long-term troughs, and the fear of overdose is exaggerated by our unfounded fear of Low TSH (see our section on TSH suppression). Despite decades of use, we have no evidence that shows these transient peaks are harmful in the long term. The patient, who if rational, does not wish to be overdosed, can be trusted to keep records of their metabolic signs and symptoms at the dose and at the peak time in order to discover whether adverse heart rate or body temperature responses occur at the peak.
Even in Jonklaas's study, there was a significant tall T3 peak because "euthyroid" test subjects were given a significant dose of 50mcg of extra T3 that they certainly did not need. Yet the study was did not reveal a significantly raised metabolic rate to confirm true cardiovascular hyperthyroidism. This is possibly due to biological compensatory mechanisms like hormone binding. [174]
There is a fear of cardiovascular problems with the use of T3 hormone in therapy because of its power to affect heart rate. Yet research even on fragile cardiovascular patients had not discovered any safety concerns as of 2016:
"T3 treatment does not produce untoward effects when administered in either physiological or short-term pharmacologic doses to patients with concomitant cardiac disease. There have been no reported episodes of supraventricular arrhythmias, increases in heart rate, or worsening of cardiac ischemia in any of the reported series to date." [164 (p. 87)]
A 2018 study of combination therapy over the long term also revealed no adverse cardiovascular symptoms—even when the thyroid hormones verged into their lab-defined hyperthyroid ranges for 95% of the population. [26]

The Life of William, Lord Russell: With Some Account of the Times in which ...
от Earl John Russell Russell
afterwards resumed the impeachment of Lord Danby. Upon the rumour of a pardon having been granted him, they appointed a committee to ascertain the fact from the Lord Chancellor. By their report it appeared that a pardon had passed the great seal with the utmost privacy, and had not been entered in any oflice. This excited the rage of the country party, and produced a message to the Lords to demand justice against Thomas Earl of Danby, and that he be immediately sequestered from Parliament, and committed to safe custody. An address was also sent to the throne, representing the irregularity, illegality, and dangerous consequence of the pardon. And as Lord Danby had withdrawn, a bill was brought in to attaint him. The Lords converted this bill also into a bill of banishment; but the more moderate of the country party in vain endeavoured to promote the milder expedient in the Commons. Winnington, who had lately lost his place of solicitor, spoke violently against it as an attempt to favour the escape of a bad minister, and an encouragement to future misrule. Littleton tried, in private, to moderate his warmth, by representing, that if Lord Danby's life was spared, the court might be inclined to come to terms. * But his arguments
the manner, than in the substance of the impeachment.
So fell Lord Danby. His talents, as a speaker in the House of Commons, had raised him to the high oflice of Lord Treasurer. His conduct in that great post was as little creditable
'to his wisdom and skill as to his honesty and
patriotism. He gave way to the King, as far as was necessary to preserve his place, but not sufliciently to acquire the royal favour. He concurred in measures which endangered both our religion and government, and yet lost the friendship of the Duke of York. He extended the system of corrupting members of Parliament, increasing the sum allowed for that service, from 12,0001. to 20,0001. *5 and yet"he was impeached by the same House of Commons he had endeavoured to buy; and he sent for the letters and acquittances, the day. after he had declared in his defence before the Lords, that there had not been one farthing granted by the Commons, which had not been strictly applied by him as the' acts had directed. This assertion rested upon the miserable quibble, that the money which he had used to corrupt the Parliament was unappropriated.
The proceedings relating to Lord Danby have contributed to settle three points concerning parliamentary impeachments. First, that impeachments laid by the Commons in one session, or one Parliament, continue in force ._ to the next; secondly, that a peer impeached by the Commons is ordered to withdraw; thirdly, that the King's pardon cannot he pleaded in bar of an impeachment. Every one of these questions, but especially the last, is of high importance to the constitution.
It was at this time that Sir William Temple, thinking that the ministry," and finally the succession, would fall into the power of Monmouth, proposed a new privy council. It was to consist of 80 members. Some of the most violent Whigs, Russell, Cavendish, Capel, and Powle, were admitted. According to the present theory of our constitution, there is no part of it more perfect than that which regards the appointment of the ministers of the crown. As the power of refusing supplies 'has brought all public business within the sphere of the House of Commons, it follows, as a necessary consequence, even . :5 though the House should offer no advice on the subject, that ministers niust be capable of bearing their scrutiny, and acquiring their con
fidence. Hence the choice of men distinguished ,

A care provider has been fined £190,000 following the death of a disabled resident who broke his neck at a nursing home in West Yorkshire.
Watchdog the Care Quality Commission prosecuted Leeds-based St Anne's Community Services after 62-year-old Kevin McNally died at the home in Smithies Moor Lane, Birstall, in April last year.
Bradford Magistrates' Court was told that Mr McNally, who had Down's syndrome, epilepsy, dementia and a severe learning disability, had lived in the nursing home since 2012.
In April 2015 two care workers had gone to Mr McNally's bedroom to help him take a shower using a shower commode chair. The shower chair fell forwards while he was loosely strapped in. Staff attempted to resuscitate him, but he was pronounced dead in hospital.
Jenny Ashworth, prosecuting, told the court that the provider had failed to adequately control the risk of serious injury and the accident was avoidable.
This accident was entirely avoidable. The risk of people sustaining serious injuries because safety or posture belts are not used properly has been well known for some time. Yet St Anne's Community Services failed in its duty to ensure that care and treatment was provided in a safe way, and as a result Kevin McNally died. It is a tragedy which need not have happened.
"When serious incidents occur, we now have additional powers to hold providers to account in the courts. In future if we find that a care provider has put people in its care at risk of harm, we will always consider using those powers to the full to prosecute those who are responsible."

Six Dance Lessons in Six Weeks, starring Loretta Swit and David Engel
Erie County , Greater Niagara | Arts & Culture , Entertainment
This touching comedy by playwright, screenplay writer, novelist, producer, and actor Richard Alfieri tells the story of Lily Harrison (Swit), a formidable retired woman, who hires a dance instructor, Michael Minetti (Engel), to give her private dance lessons -one per week for six weeks- in her gulf-front condo in St. Petersburg Beach, Florida.
What begins as an antagonistic relationship blossoms into an intimate friendship as these two people from very different backgrounds reveal their secrets, fears, and joys while dancing the Swing, Tango, Waltz, Foxtrot, Cha-Cha, and Contemporary Dance. Michael and Lily learn to overcome their outward differences and discover an unlikely but profound connection. By the final lesson, Lily shares with Michael her most closely guarded secret and he shares with her his greatest gifts, his loyalty and compassion. A comedy with music and dance, the play also addresses the serious issues of ageism and intolerance.
