Sometimes the very best thing we can do is to be there: fully there, with all that we have seen and heard, listening with attention, witnessing with intention.

Johnny Clegg performed in London on Saturday night, with South African musicians, including Arno Carstens and Trenton and Free Radical. MEGHAN WHITTAKER was there, amidst "a seemingly large amount of Leopard print!"
If ever there was a South African event in London – this would have been it! Celebrating 30 years of music, "The White Zulu" Johnny Clegg teamed up with guest star Arno Carstens and gave other SA bands a real run for their money as he rocked and shook the HMV Forum in Kentish Town on Saturday.
Hundreds of Saffas turned up to see the legend – flaunting S.A flags, vuvuzelas and a seemingly large amount of leopard print!
The night was a truly South African celebration and expats were delighted to gather together under one roof so far from home.
For pics of the night, including our leopard print fan clan, visit our photo gallery.

Two weeks ago I was in New Orleans for the PPE conference. I gave a talk at a panel on self-ownership, and moderated two panels I'd organised, one on anarchist legal theory (with [a subset of] the Molinari/C4SS gang), and one on race and social construction. We discovered a great 24-hour Middle Eastern restaurant, Cleo's (the new one on Decatur, not the old one-inside-a-grocery on Canal).
Last week, back in Auburn, I attended our department's 11th annual philosophy conference, this one on explanation and idealisation in science. During Q&A I rode my precisive/non-precisive hobbyhorse as usual.
Heads up: on March 30th, DC Universe, the DC Comics* streaming service, will be free for one day. It features newer DC shows like Titans, Doom Patrol, and the new season of Young Justice, plus a bunch of older movies and tv shows, both live-action and animated, including favourites like Batman: The Animated Series and not-so-favourites like the 1970s Shazam! live-action tv show. There are lots of popular DC offerings it doesn't have (yet), but if you like comic-book shows at all, you'll find something to binge on (and March 30th is, happily, on a weekend).
I won't be bingeing DC on March 30th, because I'll be hanging out in one of my favourite cities with some of my favourite people. But if you're not equivalently fortunate, catching up on some DC shows might be an acceptable alternative.
* "DC Comics" stands for "Detective Comics Comics." Or possibly for rhis rhis koilē.
So Ben Lockwood (Agent Liberty) on Supergirl, Jace Turner on The Gifted, and Orlin Dwyer (Cicada) on The Flash are all different versions of the same character arc, right?
In all three cases, someone starts out a decent-seeming guy who initially has no problem with superhumans (be they aliens, mutants, or metahumans, depending on the show); but after his family suffers as a result of a conflict between two different groups of superhumans, he devotes himself to a campaign against them, drawing no distinction between the good and the bad, thereby becoming a partly sympathetic albeit mostly infuriating antagonist.
There are some differences, of course. For example: Lockwood becomes the leader of the anti-superhuman campaign; Turner is just one member among many; and Dwyer works (mostly) solo. Also: Lockwood's story is a clear – indeed heavy-handed – metaphor for anti-immigrant hysteria and alt-right media manipulation in the Age of Trump; Turner is a vaguer symbol for various kinds of bigotry and police overreach; and Dwyer's character doesn't seem to be intended to make any particular political point.
In related news: on tonight's Supergirl, Lex Luthor refers to a quotation from Epicurus as being 230 years old. Off by a factor of ten, dude! If you're that sloppy with measurement, no wonder your superhero-killing devices keep failing.
"What is our name?" they asked.
He said nothing, did not look at me, and went on working.
I left him there with his cutting knife and basket and walked away between the long-armed, contorted vines. Their large leaves were rust-colored in the dusty light. The wind blew dry and hard.
Heh. In tonight's episode of Discovery, if memory serves (no, that's not the episode title; that's last week's episode title), there was one point at which Pike was sharing the bridge with seven women, one of them his superior officer (Cornwell, Burnham, Tilly, Nhan, Airiam, Owo, and Detmer). He seemed unfazed. He's evidently made a bit of progress in what's supposed to be just three years.
Or we can take Pike's earlier attitude as something that never really happened, which is clearly how we're supposed to take the no-female-captains rule in "Turnabout Intruder." Sometimes retconning is the simplest solution.

The Role of Diagnostic Tests in Antibiotic Resistance
Health System Savings
Millions of Americans Develop Drug-Resistant Infections Each Year
Antibiotic resistance means that an antibiotic is no longer effective against the bacteria it is intended to treat. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), more than two million people in the U.S. develop drug-resistant infections annually and at least 23,000 people die as a result.5
There are numerous reasons why bacteria become resistant to antibiotics. However, this phenomenon is largely due to widespread overuse and incorrect prescribing practices. In fact, up to 50% of all the antibiotics prescribed are either not needed – for example, antibiotics prescribed to treat a viral infection – or are not effective as prescribed.6
Today, antibiotic resistance is a leading global health problem with a substantial impact on patients, health care systems and economies worldwide.
Drug-Resistant Infections Can Negatively Affect Quality of Life
Antibiotic resistance poses a threat to both public health and patients –particularly immunocompromised individuals including chemotherapy and transplant patients, the elderly, preterm infants, people with HIV/AIDS and others. Many patients and their families have already suffered the debilitating effects of antibiotic-resistant infections.
Today, infections that were once easily treated can become fatal, and if not addressed, common medical interventions – including surgery, chemotherapy, organ transplantation and care for premature infants – may become impossible in the future.7
Drug-Resistant Infections Drive Up Health Care Costs
Estimates of the total economic cost of antibiotic resistance to the U.S. economy range as high as $20 billion in direct health care costs, with additional costs to society for lost productivity as high as $35 billion a year.8
In many cases, antibiotic-resistant infections lead to:
Prolonged and/or costlier treatments;
Extended hospital stays;
Additional doctor visits; and
Greater disability and death compared with infections that are easily treatable with antibiotics.9
Recent advances in diagnostic tests have enabled health care practitioners to quickly distinguish between infections that require treatment and those that do not by testing patients at the point of care and determining the appropriate treatment strategy at an earlier stage. They also help physicians distinguish between viral and bacterial infections, only the latter of which requires treatment with antibiotics.
Reducing Health Care Costs
These innovative diagnostic tests can help prevent resistance and improve the judicious use of antibiotics, especially in outpatient or point-of-care settings where they are often overused. Proper utilization of diagnostic tests enables the appropriate administration of antibiotics, thereby reducing potential misuse and decreasing overall health care costs.
In one cost analysis, 140 patients treated for septicemia, an infection of the blood, with a broad spectrum antibiotic cost the health care system $66 per day. An adjusted therapy based on diagnostic susceptibility testing – an aid for selecting the most appropriate antibiotic therapy for an individual patient – cost $3 per day and resulted in one less hospital stay per patient, saving the health care system a total of $386,820.10
Additionally, a recent clinical study found that use of a diagnostic test for the early detection of MRSA enabled doctors to prescribe optimum antibiotics 1.7 days sooner, reducing the length of hospital stay by 6.2 days and lowering hospital costs by approximately $21,000.11

Focused Life-Force Energy (FLFE or "fluffy") is a "quantum resonance" service that provides you support for creating a nurturing environment and living a healthy life. You can enroll your address, a personal object (such as your mobile phone), or both to activate a high consciousness field and to come into resonance with it.
Why would you want to do this? So that you are happier, healthier and more prosperous! If you live in a high consciousness environment and you also carry it with you, people and situations that are not a match will either change and begin to rise to your level or fall away. Your pets will benefit from it too.
Boost your body's natural healing ability.
Increase your focus, concentration and creativity.
Anyone of these features is fabulous. Combined, they can help your life to unfold more seamlessly and with better results.
I've had the FLFE high consciousness service in place for about two months. Overall, I'm getting more done in less time. I feel very productive and I've noticed that more and more ideas and solutions are popping into my head every day. Projects are getting done faster, I'm reading multiple books each month, I've easily been fitting in unexpected changes to my schedule and when I think about something the answer often shows up within hours or days. We made some very nice adjustments to our home with three new pieces of furniture that came to us so easily. Also, my business is growing, and I've expanded to accommodate more clients. My French proficiency is also accelerating! I'd love to be fluent and more of it is sticking each day.
Healthwise, I'm sleeping and meditating more deeply and I'm remembering more dreams. I also had a very easy recovery from cataract surgery last month. It turned out even better than I anticipated as I no longer need eyeglasses. This was a fun surprise!
Is the FLFE high consciousness field associated with this? I think so.
An exciting new EMF-Mitigation feature is being added during December. I tested this program during November and I like it. My house has a lot of devices that emit EMFs (electro-magnetic frequencies) such as two automated electric meters, a router, several wireless Dots, smart TVs, iPads and iPhones and more. Personally, I would love to live with fewer wireless devices. My husband, on the other hand, can't get enough of them. We meet in the middle: he adds devices and I add measures to mitigate the unhealthy fields they produce.
Over the years I've taken many steps to mitigate the EMF energies throughout my home. I use a computer with an ethernet cable (with the wireless feature shut off) and I wear a biogeometry pendant to keep my energy high. My house has a feng shui power disc, smart meter guards, router guards, sacred geometry symbols to balance wireless and a variety of crystals to help keep frequencies at a high level.
Within days of the EMF feature being turned on I realized that headaches I had been noticing had gone away. I also began sleeping more deeply. There's a very good webinar about FLFE and EMF Mitigation on the website under the Learning Center tab. Check it out by clicking on the banner below.
What might you discover with FLFE? It could help you to increase your ability to live the life you want. You might also discover that negative people and events drop out of your life. They exist, and you notice them, but you realize that you're no longer bothered by them.
A very nice feature with each subscription is "Pay It Forward." This enables you to put in an address to receive a very comfortable high frequency field. It's a field that is well above average and lower than that for paid subscriptions. Since I have two subscriptions, I paid it forward to my sister's nursing home and to The White House. You can send the frequency anywhere in the world.
Click the link below to learn more. Check out the Free 15-day trial. You can do one for your home and one for your phone at separate times. I highly recommend it!

Q: Is it possible to make wrapper object for numbers, e.g. float, to make it mutable? In Python 3 everything is supposed to be an object, even numbers, but they're immutable.
Is it possible to create wrapper object for numbers, e.g. float, such that it would behave exactly as ordinary numbers except it must be mutable?
I've wondered whether it would be feasible using built-in type function by creating anonymous wrapper object deriving from float, but changing it behaviour to be mutable.
>>> f = lambda x : type('', (float,), dict())(x)
>>> a = f(9)
>>> a
9.0

What parameters must I change f to make number a be mutable?
How I verify if a number is mutable:
I must be able to create such function f that would create from integer value a float value and after shallow copy it would behave in the following manner:
>>> list_1 = [f(i) for i in [1, 2, 3, 4]]
>>> list_1
[1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0]
>>> list_2 = copy.copy(list_1)
>>> list_1[0] *= 100
>>> list_1
[100.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0]
>>> list_2
[100.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0]

Modification of the first list, have changed both of them.
Maybe I must add some fields to dict() or add additional base class that would enforce mutability?

A: Values are immutable. They're platonic forms. An expression like 5 := 3 is nonsensical. What are mutable are locations, usually referred to as addresses or pointers. Python doesn't have those, but we can fake it by using a container type like a list, which is really a location that references other locations.
Here's a partial implementation of a mutable numerical type by using a list to store a location where we will keep the value of the number and change the value in that location when it should change, and because all copies of a mutable number will share that location, all copies will see the change
import copy

# Convenience to work with both normal and mutable numbers
def _get_value(obj):
    try:
        return obj.value[0]
    except:
        return obj

class mutable_number(object):
    def __init__(self, value):
        # Mutable storage because `list` defines a location
        self.value = [value]

    # Define the comparison interface
    def __eq__(self, other):
        return _get_value(self) == _get_value(other)

    def __ne__(self, other):
        return _get_value(self) != _get_value(other)

    # Define the numerical operator interface, returning new instances
    # of mutable_number
    def __add__(self, other):
        return mutable_number(self.value[0] + _get_value(other))

    def __mul__(self, other):
        return mutable_number(self.value[0] * _get_value(other))

    # In-place operations alter the shared location
    def __iadd__(self, other):
        self.value[0] += _get_value(other)
        return self

    def __imul__(self, other):
        self.value[0] *= _get_value(other)
        return self

    # Define the copy interface
    def __copy__(self):
        new = mutable_number(0)
        new.value = self.value
        return new

    def __repr__(self):
        return repr(self.value[0])

x = mutable_number(1)
y = copy.copy(x)
y *= 5
print x

list_1 = [mutable_number(i) for i in [1, 2, 3, 4]]
list_2 = copy.copy(list_1)
list_1[0] *= 100
print list_1
print list_2

Please let me know if anything is unclear, and I can add more documentation

A: Maybe a wrapper like the following would be what you need.
# To solve scope issues. See
# <https://stackoverflow.com/questions/3431676/creating-functions-in-a-loop>
# for details.
def make_new_method(self, method_name):
    def new_method(self, *a, **aa):
        method = getattr(self._type, method_name)
        return method(self._heart, *a, **aa)
    return new_method

class Mutable():
    def __init__(self, obj):
        self._heart = obj
        self._type = type(obj)

        # Remap each of the heart object's attributes to be used on the
        # wrapper object.
        for attr_name in dir(self._type):
            # Do not overwrite existing Mutable methods, only set new ones
            # from its heart.
            if attr_name not in dir(Mutable):
                # Methods need to be treated differently.
                if callable(getattr(self._type, attr_name)):
                    new_attr = make_new_method(self, attr_name)
                    setattr(Mutable, attr_name, new_attr)
                else:
                    attr_value = getattr(self._heart, attr_name)
                    setattr(self, attr_name, attr_value)

    def set(self, new_value):
        if self._type is type(new_value):
            self._heart = new_value
        else:
            self.__init__(new_value)

    def __repr__(self):
        return f'Mutable({repr(self._heart)})'

When you write mutable3 = Mutable(3) it stores the value you want to be mutable (3, in this case) in the atribute _heart of an instance of the Mutable class and remaps its methods to be used directly with the instance itself. It allows, for example, doing
In [1]: a = list(map(Mutable, range(3)))

In [2]: a
Out[2]: [Mutable(0), Mutable(1), Mutable(2)]

In [3]: b = a[1]

In [4]: b.set('hello')

In [5]: a
Out[5]: [Mutable(0), Mutable('hello'), Mutable(2)]

It sounds to me like creating "symlinks" between variables, a behaviour we would achieve using pointers in a lower level language like C.

SukasaReads is thrilled and honoured to host Mary Novik's guest blog about her new book Muse. Read the author's insight into the Secrets of Avignon Popes below. Plus, if you'd like a bit of background about Muse, read the SukasaReads Review. If you'd like to win a copy of Muse, enter Random House Canada's contest at the end of this blog post.
Muse is set in medieval Avignon during the period when the popes resided there, rather than in Rome. Writers such as Francesco Petrarch flocked to the city to seek patronage from the Pope and cardinals. The city was bursting with craftsmen, merchants, goldsmiths, and money lenders as well as the architects, master masons, and artists who worked on the Pope's immense palace. Under Clement VI, who appears in Muse, the palais des papes became the most celebrated court in Europe, a salon for the artists, musicians, and intellectuals who were the avant-garde of the Renaissance.
At the beginning of the 14th century, Avignon was a city of 5,000 people. It grew by a thousand a year as men came to the papal city to seek their fortune and curry favour with the Pope, who was centralizing religious power in himself. The Pope behaved more like a monarch than a spiritual leader. The main symbol of his opulence was the palace itself. He needed a fortress to ward off his enemies (which included fringe groups like the Cathars, the Knights Templar, and the poor Franciscans), to protect the vast revenues he collected, and to house about 500 officers, guards, and servants.
Most of the palace construction was done under two popes, Benedict XII and Clement VI. Before he became Pope, Benedict XII was one of the inquisitors who eradicated the Cathars. His successor, Clement VI, was more genial. He expanded the palace to the grand fortress that now greets visitors to Avignon. A nobleman who moved his extended family into the palace, he promptly set about promoting his male relatives to marshals, archbishops, and cardinals. This was nepotism of the highest order and ensured that the men closest to him remained loyal.
Many scenes in Muse are set in the Pope's palace. Not all the rooms are open to visitors today. Some of the most interesting rooms, like the Pope's study, the chambre du cerf, are closed to prevent damage to the original décor. To see them, I took the secret palace tour, led by a French scholar, of the three adjoining towers that house the Pope's private rooms. We began in the Pope's garden and wine cellar, then explored his étuves (steam room with a lead bathtub), then the lower and higher garde-robes, and the treasury (with hidey-holes under the pavingstones). The best part was the Pope's study, with its luxurious painted tiles, and his adjoining bedchamber, with its surprisingly pagan frescoes. Women were known to attend the lavish banquets in the Grand Tinel. How many made it as far as the Pope's bedchamber?
The history of the Avignon popes is richly documented in the archives, but some of the best tales are the rumours that persist, even after 700 years, telling us that the popes were not puritans. Rumours are meat and drink to a novelist, and Muse is a novel in which myth and secrecy play major roles.
Petrarch was not the only person with a quarrel with the Avignon papacy, but he was the most important scholar of his time, and that may be why his words are still inflammatory. Much of what he wrote is too frank to quote. The church has tried to snuff it out because it reflects badly on the popes. Should we believe what Petrarch says? I think so. After all, many of the letters' recipients were themselves priests, bishops, and cardinals. As a novelist, I had the freedom to believe Petrarch and create my version of these secrets in Muse.

Cannes Lions: Thandie Newton Says HBO Was "Pressured" Into Pay Parity by Time's Up
5:26 PM PDT 6/19/2018 by Rhonda Richford
John Lamparski/WireImage
"It is not wicked thing to do, it's part of change and growth. It's another word for encouragement," said the 'Westworld' star.
When HBO stepped up to offer pay parity to male and female leads earlier this year, Westworld star Thandie Newton's first reaction was resentment, she told a crowd Tuesday at Cannes Lions.
"When I first discovered how much they were offering, it made me realize, 'Oh, my god, men have been paid so much more," said the actress. "Every year I go into a new production or a new season of Westworld, and I didn't even think to ask for more because I just feel so grateful to be working. But we need to expect more for ourselves."
Though Newton has at times been critical of the Time's Up initiative for overlooking women of color, she credited it with the change. "HBO, to a degree, they were pressured into it. But we need pressure, we need to disrupt. It is not wicked thing to do, it's part of change and growth. It's another word for encouragement. So that pressure has worked," she said.
The Golden Globe nominee said she will also be directing for the first time later this year, but did not disclose the project.
Newton, who gave a TED talk on diversity that has been viewed 2.5 million times, discussed the topic onstage at Cannes Lions with British Vogue editor-in-chief Edward Enninful, Omnicom Group diversity chief Tiffany R. Warren and HP marketing chief Antonio Lucio, and pointed to a program on the production of the latest Star Wars franchise installation Solo. She said the program brought in production assistants and interns of color as an alternative to the "conveyor belt" of people who get their break in the industry due to family connections. "For Lucasfilm to do it — that's the thing, it's so easy for businesses to change," she said.
Newton is the first woman of color to be featured in the HBO series' world, she noted.
The actress pointed to the box-office success of Black Panther as an example of how diversity pays off, saying that Hollywood will change as a result. "It's about demand, it really is," said Newton. "Let's face it. The customer is always right, and they are obviously reacting to that."

Q: Can I be in character as the Silver Shroud and still complete the optional objective? I am on the quest "The Silver Shroud".
There is an optional objective

 Save Kent

If I progress in character as The Silver Shroud, make all of the choices as the Silver Shroud would, I am unable to complete the optional objective.
Is it possible to complete the optional objective as the Silver Shroud (in character)?

A: The problem that I faced in this quest was:

 Sinjin had a gun to Kent's head and my approach to the scene was from the front. I tried everything I could think of to take down Sinjin with quick strikes with melee weapon, a really powerful sniper rifle but nothing was working. My dialog had already caused Sinjin's henchmen to flee. So all I had to do was take down one guy.

So I needed time to get more shots with a very high damage. And for me Jet did the trick. The 10 second slowdown of time helped there. Secondly I needed to boost my damage, because none of my rifles or pistols were working. Psycho provides a 25% boost to damage.
So with that in mind this is how I finally completed the optional objective.

*

*Have a really good high damage, low firing rate like pistol or rifle.

*Have some Jet, Psycho or any time slowing/damage modifying chem.

*After the third intimidation prompt as the Silver Shroud jump into your inventory and pop the Jet + Psycho. I popped one Jet and 3 Psychos. Got really close and went into VATS and lined up shots to the head.

Make sure you get close to the platform, so that you get a high VATS rate for the head. VATS modifying/AP boosting/critical hit gear is a bonus for this.

A: Use the Syringer Rifle you find somewhere in the hospital and use the Stun Ammo on him.
Just Hipfire after your third Silver Shroud Intimidation. He'll lie on the floor and is fair game.

A: You can also just use the other speech option and tell Sinjin to kill you in front of Kent. Then proceed to kill all of them instead.


The process of thinking about moving without actually moving.
Imagined movements can actually be hard work if you are in pain. This is most likely because 25 percent of the neurones in your brain are 'mirror neurones' and start firing when you think of moving or even watch someone else move (this is why you can feel exhausted after watching an action movie).
By imagining movements, you use similar brain areas as you would when you actually move. This is why sports people imagine an activity before they do it. It's exercising the brain before the rest of the body which is what you will be trying to do with the explicit motor imagery part of the GMI process.
There are many ways to go through this process but the most common way used in GMI is to imagine yourself moving rather than watching or imagining other people moving.
When you get in a car to drive to a destination you imagine the course you will take.
Girls in particular might imagine their make-up or hairstyle they will wear when they go out.
Before a golfer putts, he or she will imagine the action and the ball going into the hole.
Mountain climbers imagine themselves at the top of a mountain.
Surgeons who imagine a surgical procedure first will have better mastery over their surgical performance.
Where do I practice explicit motor imagery? At home, work, school, on the bus, in the bath?
Do I keep my eyes open or closed during motor imagery?
What position do I adopt during imagery? Sitting, standing, lying?
Should I start with the focus directly on my painful left arm, or is it best to start away from my left arm and on my right arm – gradually moving my focus to the painful area?
Do I think of myself moving (first person) or someone else moving (third person)?
How long should I perform imagery for and how many times a day?
What is the task complexity and intensity and how does it tie in with grading my exposure?
What words should the therapist use to describe or talk through the process?
What cues can be used to heighten the process? Sounds, memories, smells?
Should there be prior demonstration of the movement by another person (therapist, family member)?
Do I use relaxation or meditation in conjunction?
How much do I know about the changes in the brain that I can achieve with imagery?
For more information see The Graded Motor Imagery Handbook, Moseley, Butler, Beames, Giles, Noigroup Publications, 2012.
Heighten your motor imagery experience with elements such as warmth, breezes, textures, smells, sounds, the weight of your limb, the space around you, the touch of your clothes, your environment (clinic, beach, park, home, school, work). Remember it is entirely what you imagine it to be!
This process can be quite potent and sometimes evoke fear and pain. Be wary of the power of the brain and take your time here.
It can also be useful to maintain your left/right discrimination exercises during this time.
Test your left/right discrimination using our specially designed neuroplasticity tool.
Thoughtfully designed for mirror therapy, the NOI Mirror Box is light, portable, hygienic and safe. Sturdy Perspex mirror 300mm x 300mm. Comes with explanations and instructions.

SEBASTIAN SHAKESPEARE: BBC's Andrew Marr blasts his 'middle-class, druggy ...
fashion dailymail Thursday 20th June 2019 11:05 PM
He memorably described Primrose Hill as 'the friendliest place I have ever lived by far', after moving there following the stroke which almost cost him his life. But is Andrew Marr reconsidering his assessment?
In a forthright attack on his 'white, middle-class' neighbours in the North London enclave, the BBC broadcaster decries recreational drug-taking, which he says is rife behind closed doors in its privileged streets.
The locale has, of course, been synonymous with hedonism since the heyday of its most famous residents, Sadie Frost and her ex-husband Jude Law.
BBC journalist Andrew Marr has linked residents of Primrose Hill taking drugs with the slaughter on the streets. He said the drugs trade is 'incredibly violent' and said 'we should be much more judgmental about middle-class drug taking'
Marr had previously described Primrose Hill, pictured, as the nicest place he has ever lived
'In Primrose Hill we have some of the richest people living in their nice houses and going to their lovely cafes, and in the other direction there are young kids in gangs who are killing each other,' Marr observes of the area, where locals include Led Zeppelin legend Robert Plant and Channel 4 newsman Jon Snow.
Spelling out the link between the killings and those taking narcotics at home, Marr adds: 'The drugs trade is incredibly violent, lethal and destroying lives in big numbers, and the people doing it are the middle-class, wealthy people taking drugs in the privacy of their own homes. We should be much more judgmental about middle-class drug taking.'
But Marr, who reportedly limits his own pleasures to 'the odd pint of Camden IPA', admits that it is possible to go through life cocooned from reality.
'If you are white and middle class, you don't see what is going on,' he says, adding that it was the local vicar, Marjorie Brown, who opened his eyes to the crisis.
'Otherwise I would be blundering around Primrose Hill like everyone else.'
Blue debut for the royal newlyweds and the pick of the parties...
Newlyweds Lady Gabriella Windsor and Thomas Kingston made their first party appearance since their wedding, at the V&A summer bash.
Other guests included Jenna Coleman and Erin O'Connor, both sporting Dior
Lady Amelia Windsor dazzled in a Sixties-inspired mini-dress
Dame Joan Collins, 86, impressed with her stamina, having spent the day at Royal Ascot
Jemima Goldsmith and her half-sister Charlotte Colbert arrived in similar green-coloured dresses. 'Oh God! It's just a coincidence,' said Charlotte. 'We didn't know we were both wearing green.'
V&A chairman Nicholas Coleridge says he faces stiff competition in September when his diaries, The Glossy Years, are published. 'My book comes out at the same time as David Cameron's and David Beckham's. I'm not sure which one will sell better, but I imagine Beckham's will because he's better looking.'

Our product is an app, called HealthHack, that is integrated onto a smartwatch, for example a Fitbit or Apple Watch, that monitors health parameters including heart rate, blood pressure and respiratory rates. The user's medical profile is created in the app as well as being synchronized with their current medical profile (if available) from myGov and Medicare.
The smartwatch app interface is shown in figure 2 below. This interface shows the countdown in red rotating around the circle towards the ambulance icon. Once the red bar reaches the ambulance icon, a message will be sent to emergency services along with the user's medical profile requesting assistance. In the middle of this circle is a large cancel button, which allows the user to cancel the call if they deem themselves safe. In addition, the user can simply tap the ambulance icon in order to summon an ambulance immediately instead of waiting for the red bar to reach the icon.
There is also a parent app for mobile phones, shown in figure 1, which allows the user to edit their profile, setup a medication schedule & list current medications, a health program, health tips and tricks, and a current health section which will show their health parameter readings, as well as steps taken, calories burned, and similar statistics.
Response time is a vital aspect of the ambulance service because in all life threatening situations a matter of minutes can be the difference between life and death.
The QLD government measures response times from the moment the call is answered to the arrival of the 1st ambulance on the scene.
In 2013 the average state wide response time was 16.4 minutes.
In 2015 the average state wide response time jumped to 17.1 minutes.
In 2013 the average response time in capital city was 14.75 minutes.
In 2015 the average response time in the capital city jumped to 16 minutes.

Wembley, England
Architect Harry Colt
AddressBridgewater Rd, Greenford, Wembley HA0 1AL, UK
Sir Sydney Skinner, chairman of John Barker & Co. Ltd, the department store retailers, is the person credited with putting Sudbury Golf Club on the map. Originally formed as Acton Golf Club in 1896, the club was forced to move from its former location shortly after World War I due to a housing development that was planned for the property.
Sir Sydney acquired the freehold of Horsenden Farm at a cost of £18,000 then a further £6,250 was paid to Major E.C. Murray, the land owner, for the surrender of the lease. The reputable design firm of Colt, Alison and Mackenzie was hired to lay out an 18-hole course, with Sir Sydney hitting the ceremonial first drive on 2nd April 1920.
Today, the course extends to 6,307 yards from the back markers, playing to a par of 70, where several holes run adjacent to the Grand Union Canal. Over time, the holes have been re-sequenced (the old 1st is now the 6th, for instance) which in large part explains why a round here now concludes with a par three hole. Not much else has changed down the years but the infrastructure is constantly kept under review, as evidenced by a major upgrade of the irrigation system in 2017.
Guy Stacey, formerly General Manager at Sudbury, kindly commented as follows:
"The 11th hole is generally regarded as the most difficult hole on the course, a sweeping 420-yard right dogleg that rises up the hill towards the clubhouse. A perfectly placed bunker on the left of the fairway places an emphasis on the tee shot and then you are left with a medium to long iron shot, depending on the wind direction, to a well-protected green that slopes from back to front. A par on this stroke index 2 hole is always a good score.
The 2nd hole is considered to be the signature hole at Sudbury. It measures 421 yards and the tee shot is played downhill to a generous fairway. The second shot is a little more difficult as it plays to a green that sits atop a raised mound which is protected by an original moat dating back to medieval times – the green complex cannot be changed or altered as it's looked after by the National Trust as an area of local interest."
The medieval moat at the 2nd hole is a mere whippersnapper compared to the large sarsen stone that's set upon a plinth on the clubhouse terrace. This stone was reputedly used as a boundary marker during the survey of 74-76 AD by the Roman civil engineer, Julius Frontinus.
Harry Colt
Harry Colt studied law at Clare College, Cambridge. Twelve months after his 1887 enrolment, he joined the committee of the Cambridge University Golf Club and in 1889 became the club's first captain.

She's 31, Has Stage 4 Kidney Cancer — And Talked Openly About It in a Job Interview
by News Feed Editor | Jun 6, 2022 | Health
Katie Coleman stood face-to-face with a choice no job seeker should ever have to make. She could tell her prospective employer she had stage 4 kidney cancer, the most life-threatening stage of all.
Or she could stay mum.
She knew she risked losing any shot at the job by being honest about her diagnosis — or risked losing her self-respect by keeping quiet about it.
This may sound like the plot of an episode of "Grey's Anatomy." It's not. It's the decision that confronted the 31-year-old resident of Austin, Texas, who has been battling the deadly disease for nearly three years.
"The number of ppl advising me to not disclose my [diagnosis] is astounding," she tweeted in mid-April. The concern was that employers might worry about the costs and absenteeism that can result from such a condition — even though federal law prohibits employers from taking health issues into account when hiring.
Yet, while interviewing for the high-pressure software engineering job she desperately wanted, Coleman shared her diagnosis with the CEO of MDisrupt, an Austin-based company that connects clinicians and scientists with digital health companies.
Ruby Gadelrab, CEO and founder of MDisrupt, was unfazed. Moments after interviewing Coleman for a job, she tweeted: "Today I met a candidate who applied for one of our jobs, and she might just be the most inspiring person I have ever met."
Coleman's personal story is both hair-raising and hop …

'Van Gogh and Britain', Tate Britain, 27 March–11 August 2019
Since his death in 1890 each generation has reinvented Vincent van Gogh in their own image, from the bold colourist who prefigured Modernism to the existential outsider of the second half of the twentieth century. So far not so bad at Tate Britain where curator Carol Jacobi follows this particular thread through a large, though perhaps over-inflated, exhibition: 'Van Gogh and Britain'.
Jacobi's narrative begins with the arresting portrait of L'Arlésienne from 1890 with two of Van Gogh's favourite English books on Marie Ginoux's table, Dickens's Christmas Stories and Harriet Beecher Stowe's Uncle Tom's Cabin (1852), followed by work by the English painters Van Gogh came to admire during his two years in London from 1873. We end – of course – with Francis Bacon's reworking of The Painter on the Road to Tarascon (1888), destroyed during the Second World War.
However, we really begin with a story about how and where Van Gogh found his style and subject matter and end with a clutch of British artists who very loosely may be said to have admired and to have learnt from him. Effectively this is two exhibitions in one and however hard the catalogue and the captions on the walls of each room attempt to paper over the crack, that judgement persists. It is not even banished by seeding so many crowd pleasers through show – L'Arlésienne and Sunflowers (1888) and Starry Night (1889), not to be looked at but snapped on mobile phones by a jostling throng hungry for their own 'Vincent'.
This is perhaps where this exhibition's journey could have begun: what makes Van Gogh so popular and why are his paintings so reproducible? Look at a reproduction of a Constable or a Turner, a Vermeer or even Hobbema's The Avenue at Middelharnis (1689) – much admired by Van Gogh when he saw it at the National Gallery and borrowed for this show – and you know that however fine the colour printing may be it's a copy. But pace Walter Benjamin and his celebrated 1935 essay Art in the Age of Mechanical Reproduction, Van Gogh's Empty Chair or Sun Flowers framed and hung on a wall are somehow closer to the original. Art historian Griselda Pollock once baited a seminar at the National Gallery in London with the thought that Van Gogh's popularity could be attributed to the perfecting of offset lithography printing at the time he was painting at this best. The bold black outlines, the brilliant and bold yellows of the sunflowers, the glaze on the pot were perfectly in tune with what this new printing technology could deliver.
Van Gogh was fascinated by the idea of mass reproduction, hence his collecting of prints by artists such as Luke Fildes and Frank Holl who made images for the new illustrated magazines of the late nineteenth century, the Graphic and the London Illustrated News. If artists such as Fildes, Herkomer, and Holl pictured London's poor and dispossessed working class, then Gustave Doré, equally admired by Van Gogh, published a hell on earth in London: A Pilgrimage (1872). What all of them offered Van Gogh was a vision of what art could be: an art with a social conscience that could reach the widest audience.
As, early in this exhibition, you look at Holl's print Flower Girl with its two men-about-town standing between the working girl with her blooming baskets and a pair of middle-class bonneted misses, or at Charles Reinhardt's illustration for Dickens's Hard Times (1854) with a seated Thomas Gradgrind, head in hands, you question whether their stylistic – as opposed to their thematic – influence on Van Gogh's mature work was as strong and direct as this exhibition suggests. Yes, Van Gogh's Worn Out (1881) borrows from the head-in-hands trope and the celebrated empty chair that stands for Gauguin follows a line that begins with Fildes's celebrated print of Dickens's empty chair, published after the writer's death. But is the luminous Starry Night that rightly dominates one wall really the Thames transposed to Avignon, and is the influence here Whistler?
It is perhaps social ends more than artistic means that Van Gogh learnt from these English artists. His mature style is as much influenced by Japanese wood-block prints as British 'black and whites'. After all it is Hokusai's great wave that seems to have suggested the other starry night painted from his asylum room at Saint-Rémy-de-Provence. Yet the Japanese influence is a footnote at this Tate show.
For all the Japonaiserie there's surely another thread to be teased out of Van Gogh's English years. The catalogue that accompanies the exhibition reminds us that Van Gogh came to work in a London that was 'the world capital of the graphic arts, fed by a thriving literary scene, industrial production methods and mass, international markets'. The gallery that Van Gogh worked for, Goupil & Co, specialised in art reproduction, and if that fed a young man's imagination he also must have learnt here and later in Paris how the gallery system was transforming the production and consumption of art. In his letters to his brother Theo it is clear that Vincent understands how the art world worked. How does this impact upon his work?
What then of Van Gogh's influence on English painting, the second exhibition, so to speak? Here the Tate excels itself, hanging works by Matthew Smith and the incomparable Samuel John Peploe from the early years of the twentieth century and then Christopher Wood and even David Bomberg in the same spaces as Van Gogh's canvasses, particularly Sunflowers. Look at Peploe's Tulips in a Pottery Vase (c. 1912) with the thick yellow impasto of the wall behind, the bold sun-like radiating brushstrokes, the burnished fruit on the tazza and the geometric zigzags of the table covering like a landscape. This is a Northern European yearning for 'das Land, wo die Zitronen blühn'. There is something richly satisfying about seeing the work of artists who took their cue from Van Gogh, who understood that he changed the way in which we look at the natural world and at ordinary people. To put it bluntly, this is the better of the two-shows-in-one, but would it have brought the smartphone photographers in? Perish such a cynical thought.
