Cannabis 50
Q&A with Cassandra Farrington: Co-Founder of MJBizDaily
The Cannabis 50 highlights the pioneers and innovators helping push the cannabis, hemp and CBD industries forward. In addition to the 2019 Cannabis 50 Impact Review, we are also sharing interviews with our honorees to help spread their message of positivity and growth. When Cassandra Farrington co-founded MJBizDaily, the longest-running business publication focused on the cannabis industry, she couldn't imagine the incredible progress the industry would make less than ten years later. MGO talked with Farrington to discuss the past, present and future of cannabis and the foundational role MJBizDaily has played in helping to shape a responsible, sustainable industry. MGO: What about the cannabis industry drew you to it initially? Cassandra Farrington: Initially, my business partner and I had a criteria for launching a new trade magazine: we sought B2B audiences with hard-to-find analysis on their industries, at least 1,000 companies currently in the space, in an industry growing at a positive rate. At the time the medical cannabis industry in Colorado was growing quickly and momentum was headed toward recreational legalization. What really drew us in is that the cannabis industry was created by people that don't necessarily have traditional business acumen. Nearly all founders come from a different background than business, whether its cultivation, research, etcetera. My partner and I know business and we'd helped industries figure that out in the past. If you had asked us in 2010, if cannabis would have gotten this far in 2019, no one would have predicted it. But we did know that good information and data can empower an industry and help it grow. MGO: How important is the role of an unbiased press for an emerging industry like cannabis? Farrington: What is the role of the press in any community or society? There is no question that an unbiased platform, that everyone can trust to be neutral to all players, is essential in an emerging industry. It helps create a level playing field, where everyone has access to the same market and industry information. We try to educate the industry without playing favorites. When you have someone playing that role while involved with specific business interests, it creates a conflict of interest. You cannot serve both masters. Our master was supporting the industry, not hyping certain companies or advocating for specific legislation. We give professionals the information, and let them make their own decisions. MGO: What are the advantages a dedicated industry media outlet brings, as opposed to coverage from mainstream business and investing outlets? Farrington: I cannot tell you how many times we've seen things in the mainstream press that are flat out wrong. Too often companies are highlighted for things they are not the first or best at. It is only when you have boots on the ground that you really gain perspective. Our editorial team covers their beats in the industry and they know when they hear something that's right. That's the benefit of being immersed. We provide not just a neutral view but an accurate view. MGO: In a year like 2019, with major ups and downs, what was your editorial direction? How do you navigate support for the industry versus diving in and exposing things going wrong? Farrington: In every scenario, up or down, there is opportunity. Maybe to mitigate loss, maybe to hedge, there are still opportunities. We saw the corrections of 2019 because the cannabis industry got ahead of itself. It pushed beyond its fundamentals. It is okay to be all in on the industry, you just have to be able to see past the "green rush" and understand the fundamentals. It is not all doom and gloom; the industry is not going to go away. The industry is already a juggernaut in spite of the non-normalized business environment. I can't imagine what it will be like once we have a normalized business environment. People who try to get rich sometimes get burned, so don't be that guy. MJBizDaily's role is in helping people understand how to do their job better. MGO: Having been on the frontlines since the start. What is your sense of where the industry stands today? Is it moving in the direction you've imagined or are we off-course? Farrington: I think every step toward a normalized business environment is a step for the better. There will always be debates about the path we take at micro levels, but we just need to continue moving forward. The whole social justice question hanging over the legalization in states like New York, Illinois and Connecticut is something that will have to be addressed to get legalization over the line. What is the right way to proceed? I am proud of how so many people in cannabis have made social diversity and justice a major element of what they see as the path forward. At MJBizDaily, we won't say "this is the right or wrong way to do social justice." The reality is people of diverse backgrounds have been hurt by the War on Drugs. As the industry advances, it is important from a moral, ethical, and business perspective, to give back to those communities so they can participate as the industry grows. We will report on what is working and what isn't and who is involved and represent their perspectives. We are the mirror for the industry, helping it decide which way to go. MGO: At what point did you realize the trade show part of the business would be so influential? Farrington: We really realized we had a tiger by the tail after our second show, when we grew from 400 to 700 attendees and sold out 2-3 months before the event. After the Cole Memo was announced we moved the conference to Las Vegas and into a conventional trade show and conference setting. That move was incredible, as going from a racetrack to a conference hotel is a 10X magnitude change, but we felt good because we felt that energy and excitement. When we made the move to the Rio, the people that joined us understood that the industry was at another level. The conference, attendees, and the industry have grown up together. Attendees come their first year and get a crash course in cannabis. The next year they return with a business plan, meet, organize, and find funding. The following year they have a 10X10 booth and are on the way to being industry leaders. We've seen it over and over. It's a symbiotic, virtuous cycle where what happens at MJBizCon drives the industry for the next year. MGO: In what ways do you work to engender and support responsible business practices, through event programming or reporting? Farrington: Everyone has different opinion on responsible business practices. We have always taken the perspective that this industry must look and behave professionally to go anywhere. We have taken a hard line against sexualized imagery and "booth babes" on the floor. If someone wouldn't behave that way in an office environment, then it shouldn't be on the trade show floor. We aim to create a space where anyone would feel comfortable coming in and making a deal. Simply from the reporting perspective, we report on what you do in an unbiased, verified way. We are an Associated Press news organization, so we hold to those standards. We provide the news and let the industry decide what is or isn't "responsible." MGO: As a female founder and business leader, how have you seen opportunities for women in cannabis evolve over the years? Farrington: There is a sense, and it varies at times, that there are a ton of opportunities since the industry is in need of talent at all levels. There have also been phases where even I felt that a group of guys that did their thing in tech have come in and are off to the races. Much like with social justice, the conversations around gender opportunities in cannabis are healthy. There is a consistent undertone and drumbeat that our organizations must reflect our consumer base, and you are putting yourself at risk if you aren't embracing those perspectives. MGO: What should the cannabis industry focus on to move forward in 2020? Farrington: I think that social justice element of legalization, and regulation at state and federal levels, must get fixed and figured out before more legalization happens. Even though they passed the SAFE Act, there has been push back because the legislation doesn't include those elements. We need to figure out what to do about those elements to make legalization palatable to a wider audience. The fastest way to lose a Republican's interest is to tell them we are clearing criminal records. But that's the foundation for a Democrat. How can we find a middle ground?

Hi! I'm doing a paper project for a history class about queen Elizabeth's ladies (maids of honour too) and I would like to know who were her closest friends among them (in the 1570's especially).
I am making a mid-16th-century historically accurate replica of a French noble gown for the SCA.
I would like clarification of how the gowns of the French court were constructed. There is no shortage of information regarding the layers and construction of English Tudor gowns though very little about the French fashions in the same time period.
I read everywhere that the English were heavily influenced by the French fashions and that the French were influenced by Italian fashions... so what was common in the French courts?
I see in portraits of the French upper class that they seem to favour the detached and slashed sleeves of Italian influence though I am most confused about the method of closure on the French gowns... I know that the English Tudor gowns were closed in the front and had a placard/stomacher pinned or tied on to cover the closure though I am unsure if this was an English invention or if the French did it too? Did the French upper class have gowns tied closed on the sides/back/front like Italian gowns? Do they pin/tie on placards/stomachers? I read somewhere that they could have hidden hook and eye closures in the front but I don't know the source.
Hello! Here is my question: My ancestor, Thomas Haws Howard, stated on his Civil War records that our family was related to Queen Howard Medici. Obviously this has posed a problem because I know of Queen Catherine Howard and Queen Catherine Medici, so I can't figure out which queen he meant. Does anyone know of a connection between these two queens or have any ideas on what this statement could have meant?

National Art Gallery (NAGB)
Bahamas Junkanoo Carnival
Arts & Culture : National Art Gallery (NAGB) Last Updated: Feb 13, 2017 - 1:45:37 AM
Participating artists announced for National Exhibition 8 (NE8)
By NAGB
Nov 10, 2016 - 1:41:16 PM
The National Art Gallery of the Bahamas (NAGB) will open the Eighth National Exhibition (NE8) on December 15, 2016, at 6:30 pm. For the past 13 years, the NAGB has committed itself to the nurturing and fostering of a healthy creative ecosystem and it continues to push the frontiers and foundations of cultural value and consciousness across the nation and its diasporas.
With contributions from more than 60 artists, writers and scholars, this eighth iteration of the National Exhibition, under current Chief Curator Holly Bynoe, will present a rich, four-month long artistic program, interweaving ON and OFFsite exhibitions, performances, screenings, symposiums, readings and education workshops.
Looking at the institution's mandate and acknowledging our surrounding environment and creative ecology, it was imperative to move outside the walls and develop collaborative partnerships. This expansion of the National Exhibition will secure another safe and neutral space, Hillside House, allowing for more diverse works and programming to be produced thereby increasing the visibility and viability of ongoing practices.
The biannual National Exhibition stands apart as a laboratory — a site where artists, researchers, writers and educators can question, interrogate and develop ideas about their current concerns, while witnessing and paying testament to complex global dynamics. For the National Exhibition 8, we want to explore the institution's catalytic role in navigating societal configurations that take into consideration cultural and social paradigm shifts, the impact of globalisation, along with the changing status of nationhood in The Bahamas and its wider citizenry.
Treating the NE as an environ, an organic entity with its various forms, syncopations and traces, it engages with multiple narrative devices in relation to artistic production and practices of thought with a handle on current realities, specifically addressing gender equality, postcolonial concerns, feminism, blackness, the myth of independence and the crisis of nationhood.
National Exhibition Researcher In Residence
We are also thrilled to be introducing the inaugural National Exhibition Researcher in Residence Hilary Booker. The US-based scholar will present 'The Moonflower Room' which combines the intellectual and creative lineage from which Booker developed her theoretical framework with research findings about interview participants' hopes and dreams for the future. This will include an edible cartography composed of plant-based foods that she will prepare from primarily locally-produced ingredients and a radical library of books and bushes. By placing books, bushes and plant-based foods together, Booker hopes to demonstrate that plants, land, oceans and foods are their own sets of knowledge critical to development whose essences are best experienced and expressed viscerally.
The National Exhibition 8 will be on view at the NAGB (West and West Hill Streets) through April 16th, 2017 and at its OFFsite Hillside House (Cumberland Street) will open on Saturday, December 17, at 6 pm and will run through the end of February 2017.

These are exciting times in the tax credit world! In addition to tax cuts, the 2017 Tax Reform brought about other significant changes, including "Opportunity Zones", which are a new concept that can potentially link tax credit projects and capital gain deferrals in a single deal.
The Federal Historic Preservation Tax Incentive Program, which was established in 1976, promotes historic preservation by encouraging private entities to rehabilitate historic buildings, turning underutilized or even abandoned buildings to vibrant offices, rental units or retail stores. The tax incentive provides private investors with a tax credit in the amount of 20 percent of qualified expenses incurred rehabilitating historic structures, or 10 percent of expenses rehabilitating structures that are not deemed "historic," but were built before 1936. According to the National Park Service, which administers the program in partnership with the Internal Revenue Service, tens of thousands of structures have been rehabilitated, representing billions of dollars of private investment.

He said: "Congratulations to everyone involved and after a year of hard fundraising by some amazing and dedicated volunteers this vehicle has become a reality.
"The vehicle will transport eight clients a day from the centre in Ballinasloe to University Hospital, Galway for their radiotherapy appointments.
"It is hoped that this service will ease the burden placed on people undergoing radiotherapy and it is hoped that it will make their journey a little more comfortable. The service will be in operation five days a week and is free of charge".


Although it's just December, is there anything can stop me from imaging a spring or summer even fall wedding in the coming 2016? Today I'll share some wonderful ideas with you, all about sunflowers. Sunflowers are quite favorite among brides with sunny and cheerful yellow pastels. Mostly used in a rustic wedding, sunflowers suitably match with other flowers and greenery which makes them good natural wedding decorations. If you like me, adore sunflowers very much and plan to hold a wedding in summer or autumn, I highly recommend you add some sunflower elements into your big day.

The Man Without a Shadow by Joyce Carol Oates Review
By Steve Nathans-Kelly | January 19, 2016 | 12:30pm
Books Reviews Joyce Carol Oates
Early in a literary career that has now spanned half a century, nearly 50 novels, and hundreds of short stories, Joyce Carol Oates identified herself as a "psychological realist." Pegging the "human psyche… as the center of all experience of reality," Oates declared that a plausibly rendered fictional world that derives its power from "a skillful evocation of time and place" can reveal deeper truths about our own world than strictly factual reportage.
Much as Oates' work delves into the human psyche, it also reveals the author's fascination with the theory and practice of psychology itself. At roughly the same time she was coining the phrase "psychological realism," Oates engaged in a striking correspondence with clinical psychoanalyst and author Dale Boesky that was published in 1975 in the International Review of Psychoanalysis. In response to a question regarding parallels between the methodology of psychoanalysts and novelists, Oates wrote, "I do feel, instinctively, that psychiatrists and psychoanalysts and, to a lesser extent, medical doctors themselves, work in areas extremely dangerous to their own well-being; as a novelist I sometimes suffer along with my own characters, in my attempt to honor their emotional miseries, but I do know, always, that they are characters in a work of art… however representative of real life their agonies are. Yet the 'healer' knows very well that his patients are real, quite real."
Oates' new book, The Man Without a Shadow, draws heavily on the thoroughly intertwined lives of a doctor and patient who were themselves quite real: MIT neuroscientist Suzanne Corkin and amnesiac Henry Molaison. Corkin spent 40-plus years studying Molaison's extraordinary condition, in which he lived in a permanent present of 30-second cycles, around which he was unable to make new memories. Corkin's experiments with Molaison—who proved an ever-willing and cooperative subject—yielded some of the most remarkable discoveries in modern neuroscience; she published extensively on her findings, identifying Molaison only as "H.M." until his death in 2008. Corkin's 2013 memoir, Permanent Present Tense, largely forms the basis of The Man Without a Shadow.
Some of the ethical questions that swirled around Permanent Present Tense and the widely known efforts of the "H.M." research team throughout its decades of operation included speculation about the intimacy of the researchers' relationship with "H.M." and the potential for exploitation in the unrelenting study of a subject without any prospect of getting better. Corkin touches on these more personal issues in the moving epilogue of Permanent Present Tense; Oates places them at the heart of The Man Without a Shadow. Oates also plumbs the depths of what impels a scientist to devote not just her career but the better part of her life to a subject who forgets her identity on a minute-to-minute basis, and what that life makes of the person who chooses it. Oates also explores the unfathomable depths of a permanently damaged and predominantly silenced mind that can be fruitfully dissected but never really understood.
Oates introduces neuroscientist Margot Sharpe in 1965 as an ambitious and feverishly dedicated graduate student and new addition to the memory laboratory of world-renowned neuropsychologist Milton Ferris. There she encounters Elihu Hoopes, stockbroker, visual artist, civil rights activist, scion of an eminent Philadelphia family, and permanent amnesiac following a bout with encephalitis. As the increasingly famous test case "E.H.," Hoopes' genteel manner and generous disposition make him a wonderfully compliant subject, even though he shows little understanding of the project at hand—and any understanding he gains dissipates almost immediately due to his inability to form new memories and his minute-to-minute mental reset.
The Man Without a Shadow reads a bit like a sequential collection of clinical case notes, though it's presented as a straightforward narrative. Oates has given herself two daunting challenges: to build a narrative arc around a 30-year relationship involving one person whose interior life has no arc; and to create interesting reading from a life that is mind-numbingly repetitive and the progress of a mind that makes only infinitesimal progress, and is numbed at precisely set intervals.
The book gains both intrigue and psychological depth from Margot's inner struggles. Early on, she grapples with the gender politics of the lab and hers (and other graduate students') exploitation at the hands of the fame-hoarding senior researcher Milton Ferris. But her biggest problem is her doomed relationship with Elihu Hoopes, where—objectivity, ethics, good sense and self-preservation be damned—lifelong dedication to the research becomes all-consuming dedication to the man. Oates defines Margot's dilemma succinctly in the opening lines of the book: "Notes on Amnesia: Project "E.H." (1965-1996). She meets him, she falls in love. He forgets her. She meets him, she falls in love. He forgets her. She meets him, she falls in love. He forgets her."
Oates's narrative inhabits Margot's interior life for most of the book, and particularly in the book's protracted focus on the day-to-day work in the lab and its near-case notes nature, the story drags a bit in its first half through repetitiveness that's probably a bit too authentic to methodical science to make for scintillating reading.
Surprisingly, The Man Without a Shadow really picks up steam when Oates goes inside the damaged mind of Elihu Hoopes, which in her rendering is a fascinating place. Like the real-life Henry Molaison, Eli retains much of the intellectual vitality and acute perceptiveness of what was clearly an exceptionally fine mind before the connections that make new memories were severed.
In these chapters we see beyond Eli's polite, jovial and gently ironic veneer into a world of repressed frustration, distrust and paranoia, lust and deeply disturbing, fractured memories of an episode from his childhood. In these forays into a seemingly unknowable mind, Oates provides the best examples of her trademark "psychological realism": exploring questions that history and science can ask, but only fiction can answer.
Steve Nathans-Kelly is a writer and editor based in Ithaca, New York.

(a) The enrolling entity determines that the student has engaged in conduct on school grounds, in a school vehicle, or at a school activity or sanctioned event that:
(I) Involves the possession of a dangerous weapon without the authorization of the public school or enrolling entity, if different;
(II) Involves the use, possession, or sale of a drug or controlled substance, as defined in section 18-18-102 (5); or
(III) Endangers the health or safety of others;
(b) The enrolling entity determines that failure to remove the student from the school building would create a safety threat that cannot otherwise be addressed; and
(c) The enrolling entity, on a case-by-case basis, considers each of the factors set forth in section 22-33-106 (1.2) before suspending or expelling the student. The enrolling entity shall document any alternative behavioral and disciplinary interventions that it employs before suspending or expelling the student.
(3) If an enrolling entity imposes an out-of-school suspension on a student who meets the criteria specified in subsection (2) of this section, the out-of-school suspension shall not exceed three school days unless the executive officer or chief administrative officer of the enrolling entity, or designee of either, determines that a longer period of suspension is necessary to resolve the safety threat or recommends that the student be expelled in accordance with section 22-33-105 (2)(c).
Colorado Revised Statutes 22-33-201. Legislative declaration
The general assembly hereby finds that except when a student's behavior would cause imminent harm to others in the school or when an incident requires automatic expulsion as defined by state law or a school's conduct and discipline code, expulsion should be the last step taken after several attempts to deal with a student who has discipline problems. The general assembly further finds that school districts should work with the student's parent or guardian and with state agencies and community-based nonprofit organizations to develop alternatives to help students who are at risk of expulsion before expulsion becomes a necessary step and to support students who are unable to avoid expulsion.

Is it fall yet? So asks my closet brimming with all sorts of plaid. I'm a lucky girl because my good friend Zane from JHZane sent me quite a few beautiful pieces (all plaid) which have been worn a little ad nauseum lately. And how cute is this little Moroccan basket? It's coming soon to THPSHOP. For those of you who may have missed the memo, I decided to put a pause on the store for a few months until I could find more sustainable, uplifting projects to pursue – because after all, what's the point? Without giving away too much, there are a lot of exciting things coming – jewelry, these baskets (of course!) and collaborations with female artists. Stay tuned!!!
Darling "glad to be plaid " , some of the most classic and staple pieces are plaid pattern. The use of classic patterns in unique and contrary designs are a personal favorite, love ❤ this skirt . Great shots !
Beautiful Pictures & awesome look!
Love this look, the basket bag completes it perfectly!
Love those Moroccan baskets! Got mine personalised in Essaouira!
Gorgeous look! I love the skirt and the accessories a lot!
Your style is always so impeccable Vanessa! That plaid skirt is so good, love the tie up detail and the Moroccan basket bag is the absolute cutest, totally in love!

Defence Manufacturing:C-295 transport aircraft manufacturing facility in Vadodara
By Saqib Malik November 4, 2022 Updated: November 5, 2022 Defence No Comments4 Mins Read
With the help of Airbus Defence and Space and Tata Advanced Systems Limited, Prime Minister Narendra Modi laid the cornerstone for a new C-295 transport aircraft factory on October 30 in Vadodara, Gujarat (TASL).
There has been a steady increase in the number of Indian enterprises, both public and private, delivering various components, systems, and sub-systems to the worldwide supply chains of major defence and aerospace manufacturers.
In addition to being a consumer market, India also has a significant manufacturing presence in the civil aviation industry. When it comes to their civil programmes, Airbus and Boeing both heavily source from India.

C-295 transport aircraft: Defence Manufacturing
One of the most important functions of the Airbus C-295, a medium tactical transport aircraft, is in emergency medical and other evacuation situations. Patrol Boats in the Ocean Get Together The Intelligence of Electronic Signals There has been interest from the Indian Navy and Coast Guard.
Sixteen of the 56 planes ordered will arrive in flyable condition from Spain between September 2023 and August 2025. The remaining 40 planes' production and shipment will take place in India between September 2026 and September 2031, with an annual delivery rate of eight planes. The AN-32 aircraft, which will remain in service until 2032, could be replaced by the C-295.

The Pros of Defence Manufacturing Production in India & C-295 transport aircraft
Boost the Micro, Small, and Medium-Sized Enterprise (MSME) Sector Promote knowledge sharing and technology transfer Increase manufacturing capacity for aircraft and its components Boeing now spends $1 billion annually buying from India, of which over 60% is in manufacturing
Aero-structures for Boeing's AH-64 Apache helicopter and its components are produced by Tata in a joint venture (JV) with Boeing. Tata also produces Crown and Tail-cones for Boeing's CH-47 Chinook helicopters. In Hyderabad, Lockheed Martin has joint ventures with TASL, which has produced more than 180 empennages for the C-130J Super Hercules transport aircraft and delivered 157 cabins for the S-92 helicopter. To put it simply, the empennage is the rear section of an aeroplane.
Source: Honeywell Aerospace
It can be located toward the tail of the aircraft. The nose of the plane is located at the front of the fuselage. The empennage is the section of an aeroplane that extends from the back of the fuselage. The stability and directional control of the aircraft is provided by the empennage, which consists of the entire tail unit at the very rear of the fuselage.
The aerospace industry will generate 5,000 new direct and indirect jobs for skilled workers, and Indian companies will increase their presence in the global supply chains of key defence and aerospace manufacturers by delivering a wider variety of components, systems, and sub-systems.
• Close cooperation with the United States and Europe on the Indo-Pacific Strategy has facilitated the sharing of technological know-how in the defence industry.
Both Airbus and Boeing source heavily from India for their respective civil programmes, spending over $650 million annually with more than 45 Indian vendors on manufactured parts and technical services. • India has room to develop its Maintenance, Repair, and Overhaul (MRO) industry, since importing repair parts is prohibitively expensive due to a web of regulations.
Source: PAT Research
What are the Prospects for India's Civil Aviation Industry?
India is not only a sizable consumer market, but also a prominent player in the aerospace industry. Several major U.S. aerospace manufacturers, including Airbus and Boeing, source components from India for use in their civil programmes.
Approximately 60% of Boeing's yearly sourcing from India is in manufacturing, totaling USD 1 billion.Over the course of a year, India spends USD 650 million on purchases from more than 45 Indian vendors. With the motto "Make in India" and "Make for the World,"
India is expanding its capabilities and becoming a significant builder of transport planes. More than 650 engineers in India have worked on both fixed-wing and rotary-wing Airbus aircraft programmes at Airbus's entirely Indian-owned design centre in Bangalore since 2007.
It is predicted that India would require over 2,000 additional passenger and freight aircraft in the next 10 to 15 years.India also has the potential to become the regional centre for MRO, another rapidly expanding industrAny procedure that prolongs an item's useful life or returns it to full functionality is considered MRO.

We are pleased to report that Sitekit's event, Digital in Action – Enabling Sustainable Transformation, held at Microsoft's Paddington Offices on 24 May 2016, was a great success. For those of you that could not make it, we thought you may appreciate a post event summary.
We heard from some excellent speakers at the vanguard of digital transformation on their progress within recent months, and also from organisations on current policy in the sector and the status of funding sources to take projects forward. The underlying theme for the day was the future of personal health records (#FuturePHR), raising the level of discussion around citizen identity, patient activation and self-care.
The first of our speakers delivered a presentation on The Citizen Perspective for Digital Health. Julia Manning, Chief Executive, 2020Health, highlighted the lack of medical history for diagnosis and treatment and the associated impact on patient safety from compounding problems. Julia also presented a history of political promises and current trends in digital health, outlining the case for electronic PHRs for children and young people.
An update on The Digital Child Health Strategy was presented by Alison Golightly, Child Health Information Consultant, NHS England. The strategy sets out the case for transformation, making health information interoperable is the only way to achieve the key objectives of 1. Knowing where a child is and how healthy they are and 2. Appropriate access to information for all involved in the care of children. The challenge was described as "we track cars & cattle better than children under 5s". We already have PHR for children in the form of the red book which needs to be modernised.
Enabling the Standards delivered by Lorraine Foley, CEO, Professional Records Standards Body (PRSB), explained the benefits of record standards, enabling interoperability and improving care across the UK. Good care depends on good care records – the health and social care system cannot work without an integrated care record system based on common standards.
Janet Lewis, Operations Director at London's largest stand-alone community health trust - Central London Community Health NHS Trust - shared how their trust is using technology to support parents and children aged 0 – 19 years via eRedbook & Health Matters, the digital child health record which is being integrated with a local information guidance service.
The question "Is a Standard 'NHS Online Account' Feasible?" was posed by John Webb, Digital Care Team, Liverpool CCG, with Phil Stradling, Citizen Identity Lead, NHS England. This session concentrated on the question of citizen identity, using the Healthy Liverpool Programme as a case study. John reiterated the case for a standard NHS online account, given that gov.uk now has 500k verified IDs so far. Currently, these IDs are operational within the tax system, pensions and driving licenses, with many more in the pipeline.
Paul Thomas, Enterprise Architect and Leila Martine, Director Devices, Microsoft UK described how the Microsoft Connected Health Platform can help us to innovate together in health including cardio benefits and sleep patterns using the Microsoft Band, and the possibilities for Personal Health Records (PHR) using the HealthVault platform, a privacy and security-enhanced online service which gives citizens control of their health information..
In his presentation on the importance of information to STPs and Clinical Outcomes, Dr Mark Davies, MedeAnalytics discussed how the focus and language of health management were changing in response to Sustainability and Transformation Plans with emphasis on population, prediction and primary uses. Mark also explained how a collaborative joined-up view of inputs and processes will contribute to improved outputs and outcomes.
Finally, Kathy Mason, Vice-chair, techUK Health & Social Care Council outlined the status of possible funding for digital projects in Show me the Money! - Funding Technology-enabled Sustainability and Transformation, Kathy encouraged local initiatives using the Local Digital Roadmap (LDR) for CCGs and NHS Trusts.
The video report of the day is available here, filmed by Journalista (who we highly recommend).

Designed around imposing dunes, the Glashedy Links at the world-famous Ballyliffin Golf Club has earned notoriety for its devilish bunkers and its testing opening three par fours, but a tricky start is hardly anything to complain about, especially when you consider the expansive views afforded by the course of the countryside, coastline and ocean.
The club is known for its location on a truly breathtaking stretch of coastline and for the warm welcome its staff and its members always afford visitors, but on top of that this is a course with true championship pedigree.
Over 7,000 yards in length from the championship tees, the Glashedy Links provides all its visitors with an unforgettably challenging yet thrilling golfing experience. The course opens with 3 mighty par 4's surrounded by deep dunes and glorious greens, but the struggle is well worth it at the end. The rewarding last shot must be threaded along a corridor of dunes and between two revetted bunkers.
The Glashedy Links has hosted the Irish Inter-provincial Championships in 2006, the European Tour's North West of Ireland Open in 2002 and the Ladies Irish Open in 1998. Glashedy Links is not a course you will forget any time soon.


CHICAGO (CBS) — With temperatures expected to soar in the middle 90s this weekend, it's important to take precautions for your pets.
Do not leave a pet in a car: Even with windows rolled down, temperatures inside a car can still be 15 degrees higher than outside, experts say. It is against the law to leave a pet in a car when the temp is above 78 degrees, according to the Cook County animal control department.
Keep pets cool outside: Provide water and shade. Animals with short coats or with white or tan fur are susceptible to sunburn, especially on their noses.
Get a haircut: For dogs with thick hair, cut those coats to one inch to keep your dog more comfortable while avoiding sunburn.
Take care of your dog's paws: Asphalt and sidewalks are hotter than grass, and dogs' paw pads are highly sensitive to heat. Walk your dog on grass, dirt or gravel.


N. Y., Sept. 2, 1795. He early engaged in mercantile pursuits, and continued therein in his native town until 1847, when he removed to East Nassau, continuing as a merchant and farmer successfully until near the close of life. He died in 1866, having pursued a long, useful, and honorable business career.
Mr. Davis was married in June, 1843, to Miss Cynthia M. Root, and they had one son, Jared L. R. Davis, born in April, 1844, now a prosperous merchant in the city of Albany, N. Y.
Nearly fourscore years of age, Mrs. Davis is in good physical strength and an health, pleasant and sprightly as people at sixty, her mental faculties unimpaired, possessed of an excellent memory of events and people, well educated and intelligent. She is a most interesting lady. She came from Puritan and Revolutionary ancestry of the best New England blood. Prior to her marriage Mrs. Davis had been for several years a school teacher.
Jared Root, father of Mrs. Davis, was born at Sheffield, Berkshire Co., Mass., March 23, 1772. He came to Nassau, when fourteen years of age, as a clerk for his brother. On reaching his majority he became a merchant, and prospered. He was postmaster at East Nassau for seventeen years, having received his appointment under General Jackson's administration.
His wife, Betsey (Lester) Root, was born at Chatham, Columbia Co., N. Y., Nov. 1, 1776. They were married March 5, 1797, and had one son and four daughters, Mrs. Davis being the only one living. Jared Root died Sept. 22, 1849.
Col. Azariah Root, grandfather of Mrs. Davis, was born at Westfield, Mass., Aug. 23, 1728. He married May 2, 1751, Elizabeth Shepard, sister of Gen. William Shepard, of Westfield. Soon after marriage they located at Sheffield, Mass., where he was a farmer and leather dealer. Azariah Root served as a colonel in the Massachusetts line in the Revolutionary war, and died July 3, 1777, of smallpox, introduced by the British. His wife died Feb. 16, 1 786. They had eleven children, of whom Jared, mentioned above, and father of Mrs. Davis, was the tenth.

Australian Open quarantine plan faces legal challenge
MELBOURNE: Apartment owners on the premises of a luxury Melbourne hotel are seeking to quash plans by Australian Open organisers to use the hotel to quarantine players ahead of the Grand Slam. The apartment owners at the Westin Melbourne are concerned for their health and never agreed to international players quarantining at the hotel, their lawyer Graeme Efron said on Monday. "My instructions are to get an injunction. So at this stage, that's where we're going," Efron said. Hundreds of players are expected to arrive in Melbourne in mid-January and undergo a mandatory 14-day quarantine as part of Covid-19 protocols before the Feb. 8-21 Australian Open. Efron said the Westin had informed the owners on Christmas Eve about the quarantine plans and presented it as a "done deal." "No-one has told us that this has been mandated by a government authority to turn a partly residential city hotel into a quarantine hotel," he said. Owners, who include some of the country's top business people, said they felt "ambushed" by the quarantine plan. "At 84, I'm in the vulnerable group and it's shocking the way they tried to ram this through without any attempt to consult with us," owner Digby Lewis told Fairfax media. Westin management said their "Covid safe" plan had been shared with the owners corporation, adding that residents would use a separate entrance and lifts and have no contact with players and quarantine staff. Melbourne, capital of Victoria state, was the epicentre of Australia's largest second wave outbreak of COVID-19, which started at two quarantine hotels for international arrivals. More than 18,000 infections were recorded in Victoria during the outbreak and nearly 800 deaths. Victoria recorded three new cases on Monday, as authorities scrambled to trace close contacts from an outbreak that began in mid-December in Sydney's Northern Beaches area.

After the shooting of young Michael Brown in a small Missouri municipality, I thought the 150 or so assembled police looked more like a scene from protests in the Middle East than what we like to think of as America. As I was pondered writing my column, I noticed a flood of other commentators thought much the same thing.
A fifty-year-old article lamented the emerging police use of the word 'civilians' instead of 'citizens'. This phrasing, said the writer, not merely positions the police apart from the public, but it sets them above the people like shepherds and sheep. The article predicted the concept of serving the citizens would become lost in this new order.
Adding to this perception is the long-standing "1033 Program" by the Department of Defense, which offers military gear to police in even the smallest communities for pennies on the dollar. Tiny police departments can purchase military helicopters, armored personnel carriers, combat assault gear, mine-resistant vehicles and even tanks. This program has become a concern of both liberal and conservative thinkers. (As usual, I distinguish between liberal and conservative, and left and right, which are not synonymous.)
Ferguson, Missouri
Much has been made of this small city's lack of professionalism. Ferguson's population as of the last census is 21,000 and diminishing. But in its decline, political and police presence has grown. While it's true its very white police department arrests twice as many minorities as it does whites, that's in line with the town's racial mix. A community sore spot is that only 5% of the police community is black and none are in positions of any real authority.
And police there have stepped over the line before. After a suspect in a savage take-down some time back turned out to be innocent, police retaliated. They charged the man with destruction of property for splattering blood from his injuries on their uniforms. Officers in Ferguson don't appear to be the brightest loci on the thin blue line.
Large cities have at least two advantages small towns and cities don't. For one thing, sizable cities can provide professional training. They may have their own academies and for officers, they may have the option to send candidates to degree-offering police institutes. Secondly, major metropolitan areas try to weed out bad apples, gung-ho head cases unsuitable for a profession that requires not only strength, but restraint. Small towns have less of a labor pool– and gene pool– to work with.
Side of the Angels
Here at SleuthSayers, we like to think cops are on the side of the Truth, Justice, and the American way of life. Of those who aren't, we aren't shy about speaking up once we know the facts. The facts in Ferguson aren't particularly auspicious.
It looks like plenty of blame can be passed around. There's no excuse for vandalizing and looting one's neighbors, especially small business owners trying to eke out a living in a crumbling downtown. Even if they manage to afford insurance, it won't fully cover damage and the months they'll be out of business, possibly begging to become stockers in Walmart. And for what?
Looters aren't big on reading Consumer Reports. A month from now they'll be begging some undercover cop to buy a bagful of pink Chinese-made THC Pomposity IV cell phones that earned a meager 1½ stars in Gizmodo.
But terrible political decisions and poor policing make things worse. Here at SleuthSayers corporate headquarters, we're begging Chief David Dean and Agent Lawton to come out of retirement and kick butt.
What we think we know
A week ago on the 9th of August, a police officer shoots and kills an unarmed 18-year-old boy with his hands raised. The young man has never been in trouble before and is enrolled in technical school to advance his education. Likewise, the officer has never previously been brought up on disciplinary charges.
After shooting, the officer, according to witnesses, does not take the pulse of the victim nor does he inform his superiors of a fatal shooting. Instead, he removes himself and his car from the scene, potentially breaking the chain of any potential evidence on the officer or the vehicle, which in this case may prove important.
Other officers present do not attend to the boy and, according to witnesses, do not allow medical personnel to offer assistance or approach the body. Instead, officers confiscate camera phones from bystanders. Evidence further deteriorates as crime scene investigators fail to to be called in for four hours.
Commanding officers learn about the shooting not from officers at the scene but, like the public, from television news.
The community initially responds with peaceful protests, but as the police department refuses to answer questions, both sides overreact. Vandals loot and damage property and 150 riot police in military gear shock the nation and the world with a military invasion reminiscent of dictatorial crackdowns.
Within days, Governor Jay Nixon calls a state of emergency, which locals refer to as 'martial law.' Adding to the atmosphere of authoritarian abuse in support of Ferguson cops who refuse to wear name tags, Missouri lawmakers rush a bill to the floor of the legislature that would shield the names of officers involved in any shooting from public knowledge. If that passes, a rogue cop could be involved in a dozen shootings and the public would never know.
The Police Department, and particularly its police chief, appear to be utterly tone deaf. When the President offers condolences to the family of the victim, town officials ask where are the condolences for them. Eventually Anonymous gets involved, bless their anarchistic little souls.
After out-of-control cops are caught on camera screaming "Bring it on! Bring it you ƒ-ing animals," the Chief of Police announces he is not interested in talking with community leaders and praises his men for their "incredible restraint," prompting a commentator to ask, "What does lack of restraint look like?"
Authorities are not finished. In a local McDonald's, police seize camera equipment, then assault and arrest news reporters. They arrest a local alderman who comes to assess the scene for 'failure to listen.' They teargas and beanbag a state senator at a peaceful sit-in rally who dares challenge the police chief..
When is a Cigar not a Cigar?
Up to this point, my attention shifted from the increased militarization of police departments to question how poorly the situation was being managed. Hardline authoritarianism is rarely the best solution.
Governor Jay Nixon finally relieves local police of authority and orders the Missouri State Patrol to take over.
When the state police arrive, the atmosphere immediately changes. The community welcomes them, some even hug the troopers. The mayor of Ferguson reportedly says he feels safer with their presence.
In defiance of Department of Justice requests not to further inflame the community, after relieved of command, this embattled Chief of Police– without informing the state police who've just replaced him– holds a press conference to announce that young Michael Brown has now surfaced as an after-the-fact suspect in a theft of… (I can't believe I'm writing this) … a package of cigars.
Highway Patrol Captain Ron Johnson sharply criticizes Ferguson's Police Chief Thomas Jackson's unilateral press conference about the stolen cigars. This breath of fresh air only enhances the community's respect for Captain Johnson's professionalism contrasted with the self-serving broadsides by the local police chief.
The cigar evidence is somewhat tenuous but, whether or not true, the chief's proclamation smacks of a specious and insensitive smears. The police chief himself acknowledges the two incidents are unrelated, that the officer involved in the shooting was unaware of the cigar store theft.
State police vow not to let that accusation cloud the greater issues at hand. These two men epitomize the right and the wrong way to handle community policing. Ferguson's "civilians" may have found their Virgil Tibbs in the person of Captain Ron Johnson.

Leigh, as I think you might have guessed, I'm not a person who likes to comment on national news items, believing it's tough to get to the true facts of the matter.
Instead, I'd like to comment on why I believe that video might have been released. I rather suspected the reason they released the video was not so much because the guy had stolen a box of cigars, bur rather more because it showed him shoving a person (the store owner I think), or roughing him up a little, about ten minutes (I think that's the time frame given.) before his encounter with the police officer. I think the idea behind the release might have been to let everyone see that the guy was in a belligerent frame of mind shortly before being stopped by the cop. Of course, God (and anyone who regularly reads this blog) knows I can certainly be wrong in my suppositions.
Good point, Dixon. You may well be right, although Chief Jackson's release of the information angered the Missouri State Patrol. Apparently the Ferguson police did not make the Highway Patrol aware they had the video tape, which blindsided the authorities put in charge. I expect a lively discussion ensued.
It's important to note two things:
(1) Brown looks like he's a very sizable guy and I imagine he could be intimidating in a confrontation.
(2) Officer Wilson did not know Brown had been involved in the theft of cigars. He'd stopped him for walking in the middle of the street (which makes me wonder if Brown was in an altered state).
Chief Jackson said Brown shoved Officer Wilson into his police cruiser, striking his face. Jackson further alleges that Brown went for the officer's service piece.
Witnesses say that Wilson ordered Brown to "get on the sidewalk" and that Brown turned his back on the officer and put up his hands, whereupon Wilson fired multiple shots.
It's possible parts of both accounts are true, that Brown may have shoved the officer into the car, injuring his face, and then turned and walked away with his hands up. It's not clear why the officer left the scene and failed to report the fatal shooting to his superiors unless his facial injuries were so severe he needed immediate medical attention.
The place for a tape like that to be released is a court of law. That's where people make a decision about what happened -- to the best of their ability to figure out. What's going on here is everyone is trying Mr. Brown's case in the court of immediate public opinion. The reason the people of Ferguson are so angry is, in large part, because they are saying that's how they are tried and judged, and too often condemned, EVERY SINGLE DAY -- just because of their skin color. So the police chief's release of the tape supports their assertion, because his "point" is: "See, he stole a box of cigars and intimidated another guy, so we have proven he's a bad guy and that he probably bullied (there's a concept!) our cop, so *he deserved what he got*." His point was that if you steal something and "behave badly" in Ferguson, and you are black, it's a capital offense. And "clearly" he was "guilty" -- no trial needed. Never mind that the cop was armed and supposedly trained to handle dangerous situations without killing people. Never mind that he didn't even KNOW the guy might have just robbed a store. He shot the young man because he was leaving the area against orders. That is ALSO not a capital offense. It doesn't matter if Brown had even beaten someone to death just beforehand and the cop didn't know it (just as he didn't know he'd stolen cigars) -- you can't shoot someone in the back just for leaving against police orders to stay. That's NOT how it works in this country. Yeah, bad guys get away sometimes because of that. But that's the price we all pay for a country in which you are innocent until you are proven guilty by a court of law. Period.

Reeling from the mid-east casualty videos and depressed over Robin William's choice to leave this earth just when we need more of his humor, I had refused to watch the goings-on in Missouri.
In fact, I thought the small blips I heard while surfing past the news mentioned Mississippi. Reflecting on the sixties, I thought it a logical place for this kind of police nonsense not Missouri.
Finally, I forced myself to watch some news just in time to see the store video of Brown. He was not a nice guy as his parents want everyone to believe.
I have to agree with Dixon on this one. The surfacing of this video was to make everyone aware of the real character of the deceased.
Also, the size of Brown helped me realize that the police officer who shot him dead was probably scared witless. That doesn't make him right.
The officer could/should have called for back up and stayed in his car. Let's face it, there is no way Brown could blend in with the crowd. Finding him for an arrest could have been easy.
Also, once the store video surfaced, jail would have been Brown's next destination, not college, as his parents think and want the world to believe.
Still, it is a shame that police officers are not drilled in RESTRAINT no matter what the circumstances.
I feel for the parents who must deal with the death of an only son as well as deal with a rude awakening to a video of him portraying a side I bet they didn't know existed.
The reaction of the town and police force is shameful but in my opinion, merely reflects the pervasive state of anger and despair in the world.
What is the source for the anger and out-of-control actions throughout this world? Tell me when you figure it out because I'm back to lighting candles for Robin, who fought the bleakness, and watching gentle movies of hope, deleting every news channel from my TV.
Anon, your analysis strikes me as particularly insightful about what the community feels.
To me, the local chief is guilty of bad management and it may have trickled down down to the cops on patrol. There were numerous reports of protesters trying to protest stores from looters, but the local police didn't distinguish good from bad. The chief's authority was challenged and he was going to kick ass to put down the rebellion.
None of this relates to whether Michael Brown stole a box of cigars, which it looks increasingly likely he did. Cigars isn't what this is about. It's about a police chief and his underlings who failed to with the respect of the community he's supposed to serve. That didn't happen this week; from the history it looks like the disdain on both sides has been building upwards of two decades.
From the welcome given Captain Johnson, it's apparent the community craves someone to fill that void. I suspect the captain is every bit as tough as the police chief, but he's willing to give the community his ear and his support. It's been a harsh lesson, but someone like him might make all the difference.
Claire, you're right on all points and I'm glad you took the time check us out, distressing as it may be. Thank you.
As Dixon pointed out, the risk of writing about current events is that ongoing news is fluid. Events changes day to day, sometimes hour to hour. At one point even Captain Johnson appeared not to know what was going on when he was blindsided by Chief Jackson's news conference.
The best hope is the chance of a learning experience. I get the impression Chief Jackson is locked in an intractable mindset, although I hope I'm wrong. We don't know anything about Officer Wilson, but on the chance he wasn't struck in the face, he may be scarred with the knowledge of a death on his hands.
The looters? Vandals? It's hard to imagine any lessons might stick there, but community protesters made it known looting and property damage was not acceptable.
Thanks for tuning in. I'm a news junkie but I appreciate that some days crappy news can be too much.
Nobody's coming out of this looking too good, except Captain Johnson so far.
My county recently had what feels like a close call - I almost said dodged a bullet.
A 25-year-old African-American (they make up 1% of the county's population), a financial analyst and semi-pro quarterback, was "called out of his home at rifle-point, handcuffed, questioned, and detained for hours in the back of a patrol car."
There had been a home invasion robbery next door and the babysitter said the culprits were two Black men, one of whom looked like the neighbor.
Turns out the robbers had been friends of hers, both white.
Fortunately everybody stayed cool and all the unfortunate man experienced was a few bad hours in a patrol car. That's terrible but it didn't end any lives or police careers.
I like to think that our cops here are better trained than the cops in Ferguson and our residents have less reason to fear/resent them. But that's just my guess and hope.
More about my local story: http://www.bellinghamherald.com/2014/08/15/3803947/babysitter-accomplices-in-bogus.html
A good analytical synopsis, Leigh, of the event which helps give perspective to what is known an unknown, aside from speculations, and good points made by all. Thank you.
I am reminded of the suspense novelist, Dorothy Salisbury Davis, who passed recently, of whom it was written "Some of Mrs. Davis's books start with a murder, then probe her characters' behavior and motivations." It also brings to mind the tagline for the Shadow radio series "Who knows what evil lurks in the hearts of men?"
Most facts we can gain hold of, though we are usually bereft of every single detail in any crime. But the hardest 'facts' to acquire would be the behaviors and motivations that lie within any of the characters involved. These we can only surmise, even with testimonies.
Rob, that's a sharp little 4-year-old! Peach skin and grumpy voice indeed.
I can't help but wonder if there isn't a better way than handcuffing a guy and storing him in the back of a squad car. I spent 10 minutes in the back seat of an Atlanta state police cruiser and there was zero leg room and zero air conditioning. (Okay, okay, not what you're thinking– I'd shredded a tire on the interstate and the trooper drove me to a repair station.)
Rob, I noticed on the opposite side of the great state of Washington a security guard apparently maced a bystander for being black. The victim was walking past a Palestinian demonstration where a shirtless white guy was harassing and shouting obscenities at them. A security guard rushed up and– despite the crowd telling him he got the wrong man– pepper-sprayed the face of and handcuffed the hapless black guy because he 'approached him'– to ask for help.
Bradley, you bring out good points. In addressing Anonymous' comment above, I started thinking of the events in terms of story-telling, but in real-life situations, people die and their families don't want their tragedy made into entertainment.
To much demonization has occurred. In the heat of extraordinary events, people can do rash things. Sometimes their programming, good and bad, takes over; sometimes they just screw up.
My mental picture of Chief Jackson isn't flattering. I don't think he's a horrible person, but the wrong man in the wrong job at the wrong time, an official more interested in applying force than any other option.
From time to time, David Dean kept coming to mind who strikes his fans as being thoughtful and likely to use a reasoned approach before resorting to force. It's only speculation like fantasy football, but I can't help but wonder how he might have handled the situation.
Leigh, I am flattered by your perception of me, however untrue it may be. As for how I would handle such a situation, I would not even hazard a guess at this point. No one knows how they'll react to certain situations until they are in the midst of them. The investigation into the Brown shooting is far from over, and the facts are not yet in. Everything up to this point is speculation and, to some degree, fantasy fulfillment depending on how one secretly wishes the narrative to read. The rioting was not helpful, and has only muddied the waters and delayed the process. I'm sorry for nearly everyone involved in this mess.
And a mess it is. Thank you, David!

So sad, so wrong, so frightening on so many levels. Not an easy read but thank you for explanations (too early for clarity)on various points from you and SS readers.
Leigh, a few months ago the Daily Show gave advice on Open Carry in restaurants. The cheerful white correspondent more or less quoted NRA guidelines while the black correspondent got more and more pessimistic and finally advised: "Stay home! Make it a Digiorno night!" Grimly funny.
Fascinating article by Senator Rand Paul.
Good link, Leigh.
Sundown laws have been struck down (Nigger, be outta town by sundown), but I have been hearing a number of Missouri towns with growing black populations require residency permits, a little like condo association but at the municipal level. These accomplish multiple purposes, one of them of course to control who lives there. If you've bought a house and allow your boyfriend to move in, he must obtain his own residency permit, else he's considered living there illegally. The permits, which must be renewed, have become a major source of revenue for towns.
But there's another insidious effect. A newly elected black mayor was denied access to the town hall, the seat of operations for the town. The city attorney contended 27 of her votes were fraudulent even though those 27 people were registered to vote in that county. Why? Because those voters didn't have residency permits, the city attorney claims their votes were cast illegally.
In a more widely publicized case where a black woman was elected major of her Missouri town, the majority of police, the city attorney, and some number of city services supervisors all resigned, refusing to work for the new mayor.

Thousands rally in London for Kashmir's freedom
Thousands of protesters gathered in London's Parliament Square to demand the end of the Indian occupation of Kashmir.
The protesters, a large number of whom were of Kashmiri or Pakistani origins seemed infuriated at the curfew and the media and communications blackout imposed on the valley.
The rally started from Parliament Square and headed towards the Indian High Commission where slogans such as "End to Occupation" and "Kashmiris demand justice" could be heard all over; as protesters complained that international organizations and human rights groups were not doing enough to ensure the rights of the Kashmiri people.
The march was organised by a Kashmir support group based in the United Kingdom.
A few days before the Indian High Commissioner in London had expressed reservations over the remarks of Labor Party leader, Tom Watson who had termed the situation in Kashmir as a "humanitarian crisis".
Deputy leader of the Labor Party, Watson had noted that people in occupied Kashmir "do not get medical supplies" and how "there's no food or water or basic provisions".
He had said: "I've never seen more worry on your faces than I've seen in the last 25 days. You're worried about your loved ones that you can't communicate with."
Watson also urged the international community to take note of the "Conditions of the Kashmiri people."
"That is a responsibility for all of us in the international community," he said.

Hey Classmates. I don't know about you... but I personally had a great time at the 45th reunion. The parade was a blast, as usual!! Twenty classmates turned up - most of us got wet, (and a few of us got drenched!!) but we all had a great time. Lunch up the canyon at Rotary park was delicious, and it was so good to see everyone who showed up. It seemed to me that everyone had a great time. Before the memory fades, please feel free to leave your comments, suggestions, etc. - good or bad - on the Message Forum. There's already talk about the next reunion.
A big "Thanks" to everyone who helped make the day a success. Lisa Clegg Smith, you did a great job organizing the catering service. Marlene Boyer Reed, thanks for arranging for the park and the truck and trailers used in the parade. Thanks to Cay Howes Roberts' husband, Kirk, for volunteering to drive the float.
We always used to spend the holidays with Grandma and Grandpa. They used to live in a big brick house, but Grandpa got retarded and they moved to Arizona. Now they live in a tin box and have rocks painted green to look like grass. They ride around on their bicycles, and wear name tags, because they don't know who they are anymore. They go to a building called a wreck center, but they must have got it fixed because it is all okay now, they do exercises there, but they don't do them very well. There is a swimming pool too, but they all jump up and down in it with hats on. At their gate, there is a doll house with a little old man sitting in it. He watches all day so nobody can escape. Sometimes they sneak out, and go cruising in their golf carts. Nobody there cooks, they just eat out. And, they eat the same thing every night - early birds. Some of the people can't get out past the man in the doll house. The ones who do get out, bring food back to the wrecked center for pot luck. My Grandma says that Grandpa worked all his life to earn his retardment and, says I should work hard so I can be retarded someday too. When I earn my retardment, I want to be the man in the doll house. Then I will let people out, so they can visit their grandchildren.
I can't afford one. So, I'm wearing my garage door opener.
