First time since the 2010 street agitation, the hardened position of New Delhi on Kashmir on Wednesday spurred a loose alliance among separatists in the Valley, first such effort after the separatist conglomerate Hurriyat split in 2003.
Front (JKLF) --- are planning a joint march on July 13 from Jamia Masjid to Martyrs Graveyard in the old city where civilians killed in 1931 are buried.
The state government also observes it as Martyrs Day and all mainstream parties pay floral tributes at the graves housed on the premises of the Naqsbandh Sahib shrine.
The fresh coordination between separatists, otherwise poles apart, comes in the wake of a spree of killings, including four separatist supporters, in Sopore by unidentified gunmen in May and June this year.
These killings forced moderate Hurriyat chairman Mirwaiz Umar Farooq to organise a meeting of other separatist groups in Jamia Masjid last month.
Hardline Hurriyat's Muhammad Altaf Shah and JKLF's Noor Muhammad Kalwal met the Mirwaiz to form coordination between factions of separatists "to tackle bigger issues jointly."
"We may have differences between us and differ in our approach but have decided to lend issue-based support to each other," hardline Hurriyat spokesman Ayaz Akbar told the Hindustan Times.
Moderate Hurriyat spokesman Shahid-ul-Islam said the coordination will be a permanent feature between separatists now in the wake of changing political dynamics between Delhi and Srinagar.
"We fear incidents like Sopore may occur again. We want a joint response to such attempts. A need is felt by all separatist groups to join hands in issuing joint protest calls," said Islam.
In a first, the joint protest programme for July 13 has decided not to call for a shutdown, which was a permanent feature in the past, in view of ongoing Ramzan.
"It has been decided that the Martyr's Day would be observed jointly as Youm-e-Tajdeed (the day of resolve). There will be joint prayers at Jamia Masjid and thereafter the leaders would lead a big procession towards Naqashbandh Sahib," said the Mirwaiz, who on Tuesday shot off letters to JKLF chief Yasin Malik and hardline Hurriyat chairman Syed Ali Geelani for joint programme.
"We would reiterate our firm resolve to take the freedom struggle forward to its logical conclusion," said the Mirwaiz.
With the hopes of dialogue with the BJP-led government in the Centre dashing, the separatists seem to have decided to harden their position.
"The BJP has buried the legacy of former prime minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee. Except for India, both Pakistan and leadership in Kashmir support dialogue process on the Kashmir dispute," said the Mirwaiz, adding, "It's unfortunate development."


Combine the orange juice, lime juice, olive oil, onion, garlic, serrano peppers, parsley, cilantro, cumin, black pepper and salt in a medium bowl.
Coat the chicken inside and out with the marinade, cover and refrigerate overnight.
If using a slow-cooker, coat the inside with olive oil.
Cut some aluminum foil into small squares and coat with a little olive oil. Prick the baby potatoes with a fork and season with salt.
Wrap the potatoes tightly with the foil.
Place the potatoes in the slow-cooker.
Place the chicken, breast side down, on top of the potatoes. This will allow the juices to flow to the bottom of the slow-cooker while the chicken is roasting.
The chicken will be so tender that it will fall apart easily, so carefully transfer it to a plate. Allow to cool a little before removing the skin. Remove the potatoes from the slow-cooker and let them cool before removing the foil.
Meanwhile, prepare the mojo de ajo garnish by melting the butter in a small saucepan. Sauté the garlic, parsley, and cilantro until softened. Season with salt to taste.
Serve the garlic chicken with the baby potatoes and warm corn tortillas.

It is a pleasant spring evening and we sip a rye Manhattan while the sun sets behind Hawthorn Bridge into the broad Willamette River. We are on the patio of Portland's Veritable Quandary, a favorite of ours for years, awaiting a table for our final meal here. After 45 years, this iconic downtown restaurant will close in July to make room for a new county courthouse.
The V.Q. (as it is affectionately called) is one of those places you feel familiar with from the moment you enter. We pass through a cozy bar filled with the lively banter of locals on our way to one of the intimate dining spaces. A quiet mummer comes from the tiny open kitchen we pass, a reassurance that meals are being carefully created. The competent, even service adds to our sense of belonging.
The V. Q.'s style is to treat the best local provisions with solid techniques. This is not wacky Pacific Northwest cuisine (a tincture of coastal Douglass fir squirted on your potatoes, sea grape and fennel frond juice darkening your salmon) but richly flavored, well-conceived dishes. To start with, the bread is remarkable and we are told it is from Ken, a legendary artisanal baker. A warm spinach salad is smothered in earthy mushrooms. Wahoo is balanced with red curry sauce and Thai accents. There is a meaty sea trout filet with crunchy toasted almonds on creamy, buttery grits.
We speak with staff members who tell us the Chef is trying to open another restaurant and hopeful that many of the staff will make the move with her. We hope to make that move also.
Cut a variety of fancy mushrooms into large pieces. Heat a fry pan over medium and add 1 tablespoon each olive oil and butter. Add mushrooms in one layer and let cook several minutes, stirring only once, until lightly browned. Season well with salt and pepper. Remove to a small bowl and keep warm.
Replace pan to heat and add 1 tablespoon olive oil, 2 ounces large diced pancetta and cook until browned, about 3 minutes. Add 1 large minced shallot, sauté just until wilted, about two minutes. Remove pancetta to a small plate, leaving oil in the pan. Deglaze pan with 11/2 tablespoons white balsamic or other light vinegar. Season with salt and pepper. Remove from heat. Add to the pan two handfuls baby spinach, 2 oz. crumbled blue cheese and the pancetta, stirring just until coated, 20 seconds. Remove to serving plate. Top with the mushrooms.

Q: Fastest way to find different rows in two mysql tables I have two almost identical tables. Second one is a "slave" of first one. First table has autoincrement int ID column and second also has ID2 which is indexed unique int, but not autoincremented. ID2 is an analog of ID.
I need to find fastest way to detect new rows in second table (those ID2 which not exist in first table) and vise versa, new rows in first table (those ID which not exist in second table). A fastest way I found is
select SQL_NO_CACHE
    tab1.ID
from `tab1`
left join `tab2`
    on tab1.ID = tab2.ID2
where
    isnull(tab2.ID2)

Takes out 2.5 seconds on ~200k records. What you may propose to get faster result?

A: SELECT * FROM Tab2 WHERE
    NOT EXISTS (SELECT 'x' FROM Tab1 where
        Tab1.ID= Tab2.ID)

I think this query would give you a little faster result.

A: Use is null:
select SQL_NO_CACHE tab1.ID
from `tab1` left join
     `tab2`
      on tab1.ID = tab2.ID2
where tab2.id2 is null;

This performance should be equivalent to:
select tab1.id
from tab1
where not exists (select 1 from tab2 where tab2.id2 = tab.id);

But it is worth trying both approaches.
Note that these versions do the inverse of what you ask -- find rows in tab1 that are not in tab2.  It should be obvious how to switch the logic, depending on what you really want.

Czech environmental firm joins with Israeli tech
Cooperation extends from environmental cleanup to protection against terrorist threats
By ALAN ROSENBAUM
(photo credit: VKV HORÁK S.R.O.)
Dekonta, the Czech-based international environmental services and technologies supplier, cooperated with Negev Ecology-Agricultural Cooperative Society Ltd, one of the leading companies in the field of recycling and waste treatment, in the design of a biotreatment platform for site remediation (bioremediation of contaminated soil) at the Beersheva Railway Station.
In addition, Dekonta is working in the area of population protection against terrorist threats, in cooperation with two Israeli companies –Supergum Industries Ltd. and IsraTeam Ltd, with bilateral funding from the Technology Agency of the Czech Republic, and ISERD, Israel's official government interface with the European Commission for R&D related matters.
Prof. Pavel Častulík, leading the research project at Dekonta, says that the companies are developing a new generation of autonomous "Air Purifying and Ventilation Cooling Unit" (APVECU) for first responders that improves its active cooling properties, in combination with a personal protective ensemble (PPE) that eliminates the risk of heat stress under occupational environmental temperatures above + 25° C. The operational system of the APVECU will also monitor the current physiological status of responders wearing the protective gear.
The units will apply the latest findings to relieve excess heat, increase protection against hazardous materials, and provide maximum comfort for the users even in adverse environmental conditions.

How Long Does it Take to Make a Pair of Leggings?
Is 14 days too long to wait for your handmade clothing order? Do you think that anything longer that a few days wait is unacceptable? The rise of Amazon Prime and next day delivery means that I am getting more and more requests for orders to be made faster. I am often asked if I can make something and have it delivered in less than a week.
As Tutti Frutti Clothing has grown, I have increased my turnaround times to 14 days. In every website and Etsy listing I say that everything is handmade to order and it will be up to 14 days for your order to be made and dispatched. But what does this really mean and why does it take 14 days for your order to be made and sent out?
This blog post aims to unpack some of the reasons why I have a 2 week turnaround time and why I often can't accommodate short notice requests.
The answer to that is fairly simple. No, it doesn't take me 2 weeks to make a pair of leggings. However, there is so much more to Tutti Frutti Clothing than just sewing and I hope that this post explains why I ask customers to wait for their orders.
I guess first and foremost the reasons things take 14 days is that I don't just have one order at a time to deal with. In the early days when orders were few and far between, you could order one day and I'd cut and sew it up and post it out a day or two later.
Over the last 18 months Tutti Frutti Clothing has grown more than I could ever imagine – and continues to grow. How exciting is that? I get orders every day and love it that so many people want Tutti Frutti Clothing goodies.
The quantity of orders I get means I have to manage my workload pretty carefully and the 14 day turnaround time allows for this.
I pride myself on making sure every Tutti Frutti Clothing garment is perfect. Handmade doesn't mean poor quality but it does mean that mistake can, and do, happen. I check and double check everything before it is posted out. If I find it is less than perfect then I will remake it.
If it not up to my expected standard then that 14 day turnaround time gives me time to remake your order if I am not happy with it.
Flexible working - and making sure I look after my children!
I started Tutti Frutti Clothing when my third child was 21 months. In my head, starting a business with a young family was going to be amazing. I could work around my children and out of my home. It was going to be fun, flexible and something I just loved doing. The reality is all those things – with an added dose of super hard work! Not unexpected hard work but some aspects have taken me by surprise!
Until my youngest goes to nursery she is at home with me full time. Whilst she is pretty content cutting up scraps of fabric on my sewing room floor whilst I work, she can't really do that all the time. Working from home gives me the flexibility to spend some of my day at the local farm with her, or grocery shopping, or cooking dinner.
I also try not to work between 3- 7pm when my elder children are home from school. It is important to me that my business works with my family and so I have to build time with them to make this happen.
However, I do sew once the kids are in bed and into the night. My eldest child often says that the sound of my overlocker soothes him to sleep….
Tutti Frutti Clothing is based around my love of bright and bold fabrics and unique prints. I source fabrics that are either GOTS organic or Oeko-Tex certified. Part of my working week is spent looking for new fabric to add to the Tutti Frutti Clothing range. Recently I discovered some gorgeous GOTS certified organic unicorn fabric for leggings and this awesome GOTS certified organic garden design fabric for t-shirts.
Time spent looking for new fabric – either online or at trade shows – is time away from my machine and added into the turnaround time.
Income, expenditure, revenue and sales – all pretty integral parts of Tutti Frutti Clothing. Much as I would love to spend more time behind my sewing machine, I am sure you will agree that it is important I keep the accounts up to date. With my accounts in order I can buy fabrics, threads and make sure that Tutti Frutti Clothing is on the right path to success!
Yet once again time spent entering data into spreadsheet is time away from making orders. I long for the day I can outsource this part by the way…!
I love meeting people face to face and talking to them, showing them what I have to offer and helping them choose gifts for their grandchildren or new babies. I do several craft markets and fairs a year and work hard to maintain a decent stock level to take to shows. Every time I make an order I make something to add to the rails for the next market.
I am currently working towards making sure I have a great display of bright clothing at Waresley Grand Fete on 26 August. I will then be working hard to ensure there is awesome stock at The Gransden Show on 30 September. If you are local to either of these it would be brilliant if you could come along!
I hope that this has explained why your Tutti Frutti Clothing order isn't sent to you in an instant and why, much as I would love to, I really can't accomodate last minute requests.
Why don't you tell me what you think? Is 14 days too long or are you happy to wait? I'd love to know what your thoughts - you can comment below and let me know.
Don't forget you can join the Tutti Frutti Clothing mailing list to get special offers and the latest new direct to your inbox. Sign up today for FREE POSTAGE on your first order!

When is the best time to rightsize?
Published: Nov 27, 2018 at 9:51 a.m.
Updated: Nov 27, 2018 at 9:52 a.m.
One of the most common questions faced by retirees is this: "When should I downsize and move to a new place?" It's never easy to decide when to leave the family home you have lived in for decades. It can be a very emotional decision to make. I have had clients move from homes that have been in the family for more than 60 years. If you're thinking about making a move, here are five points to consider.
Your four-bedroom, two-storey house with a large backyard was perfect to raise a family in, but the kids moved out years ago. Many clients I work with are currently only using three rooms (living room, kitchen and bedroom). Typically, they are only using between 25 and 50 per cent of the house for day-to-day living. They are, however, paying to heat, insure and maintain the entire house.
Yes, your home may sell for a few thousand dollars more next spring, depending on the market. But if you are going to spend the entire winter stuck in the house because of snow and ice and paying someone to plow the snow, it might be easier to sell sooner rather than later. Homes sell year-round, so pick the time that is most convenient for you.
Staying in your home as long as you can usually means waiting until something unfortunate happens that forces a sudden move. In many cases, it will be the death of a spouse or a health problem. Downsizing in these situations are, at best, chaotic and stressful.
4. Does your house need maintenance or upgrades?
Homes do require upgrades as things wear out and sometimes multiple things need to be replaced at the same time. Spending $10,000, $20,000 or more to enable you to stay another one to two years is very expensive and likely to bring limited return on resale.
5. Are you finding it financially difficult to continue living in the home?
If it takes all of your income each month to live or, worse, you are dipping into savings each month to cover housing costs, a rightsizing move may make sense. Eliminating expensive housing costs while simultaneously freeing up equity to invest and produce income can change your financial situation.
Obviously, your situation will be different than that of other readers, but hopefully these points will give you some things to consider when thinking about the right time to rightsize.

Jurgen Gorg
Fire- signed limited edition etching by German figurative artist Jurgen Gorg
Annaherung
Begegnung II
Dammerung
Born in Dermbach in West Germany in 1951 his formative years were spent in Koblenz before moving to Mainz to study at the Johannes Guttenberg University for four years. Gorg has happy memories of his student days and in particular of his teacher Saalfield who motivated him to draw with academic precision a skill which in no small way contributes to the quality of his work today. Gorg began his professional career in 1977 as a painter and printmaker and in 1980 he was awarded a special prize by the district of Rheinland Pfalz. His first sculpture was completed in 1990. There is a strong tradition in Germany for figurative art with erotic overtones and J's work forms part of a new generation of artists in this area with fresh interpretations of the theme. In the forward of J's latest book he describes his subject matter as: ".the human body; it is the body of the young slim beautiful person. The face remains vague the gestures are those of free motion. Everything concentrates on the body language and the erotic radiation of the figures". His artistic universe consists of lovers dancers musicians and masked personages. Tender lithe slim and young these idealised loosely rendered figures suggest the timeless and eternal. An elusive quality is cultivated by Gorg who feels that something should always be left open. With his paintings J often uses a monochromatic palate. Soft colour is applied with graphite in combination with translucent layers of oil paint. Shading is subtle white highlights focus attention as does the sparing use of bright colour. G's impact on the European art scene has been little short of sensational. Still only in his early 40's he has emerged as a true and original talent utilising both traditional methods of printmaking as well as painting drawing and sculpture. His work is now much sought after. His technical accomplishment and his ability to reproduce the moving figure so sensitively make his work irresistible to his many collectors.

Every company, no matter how big or small, needs to have business insurance. Business insurance will really come in handy if your business ever sustains damage or if someone is ever hurt inside of your business. Business insurance will be an added expense, though, which means you need to shop around for the best rates possible. Check out some of the factors that'll determine how much you'll pay for business insurance below.
The first thing insurance companies will often look at when deciding how much insurance will cost you is what kind of business you run. If you work in, say, the firearms industry, there is obviously more risk for an insurer than if you work in the dry-cleaning industry. The type of business you own can play a big part in what you'll pay for business insurance.
Another thing insurance companies will consider when figuring out how much to charge you for business insurance is how long your company has been around. If you're just getting your business off the ground, an insurance company might not feel as confident extending you a low rate as they would to a company that's been in business for years now.
The more employees you have working for your business, the more you're going to be asked to pay for business insurance. Reason being, many insurance companies will see the high number of employees that you have as a risk on their end. You should keep this in mind as your company grows in the future.
How much money does your business bring in every year?
If your business isn't generating a huge profit every year, you won't have much to lose if you're ever hit with a lawsuit. At the same time, if your business is bringing in tens of millions of dollars in profit every year, you could be in big trouble if you're ever sued. Insurance companies will consider your annual revenue when deciding how much you'll pay for business insurance.
Even though you run a business in the firearms industry, it doesn't mean you have to pay a fortune for business insurance. Associated Services in Insurance can help you find the best possible business insurance packages. Call us at 816-229-4450 today to take a look at some available rates.

The Leveson inquiry is likely to divide political opinion. But what can opinion polls tell us about the public's likely reaction? We take a look at how the framing of these polls impacts on the public's response.
We must constantly check and challenge ourselves to ensure that we are not unduly influencing people due to what we ask, how we ask it, or where we ask it.
Today's Leveson inquiry into the culture, practice and ethics of the press is likely to divide political opinion. But what about the wider public? Surely the widespread anger and disgust demonstrated after the phone-hacking revelations will see a united call for greater independent regulation of the press?
Perhaps, perhaps not; it all depends on how the argument is framed. In a recent Daily Mail article headlined "Doubts over manipulated poll", Michael Seamark reported on questions over the accuracy and validity of recent surveys to find out people's views on regulation of the press. Two surveys, both conducted by polling firm YouGov, turned up contradictory results just weeks apart. What's going on?
As the article makes clear, the difference in results can be explained by the difference in the wording of the questions. In one poll, for the Media Standards Trust, people were asked if they thought there should be "an independent body established by law", or if "newspapers should establish their own body". The use of the word "independent" in the first option but not the second clearly swayed people towards the first choice, with independence seen as limiting bias or conflict of interests.
In the second poll, for The Sun, people were asked if they would like to see a regulatory body set up "through law by Parliament, with rules agreed by MPs" or "through legally binding contracts by the media industry, with rules agreed by newspaper owners". In this case, the emphasis that rules would be agreed by politicians in the first option is likely to have swayed people towards self-regulation.
Surveys and opinion polls are a valuable way of discovering, demonstrating and quantifying opinion. They help politicians understand the views of their constituents, brands develop useful products and services, and employers react to the needs of their employees. They are also a crucial part of public relations and media communications activity.
However, surveys and polls are only as accurate as their methodology, and are often developed without being thought through carefully enough by somebody with an understanding of research. That's why it's pleasing to see the press questioning survey findings and looking closely at what exactly was asked to get the results.
As communications professionals, we frequently develop and commission surveys on behalf of our clients. But we must constantly check and challenge ourselves to ensure that we are not unduly influencing people due to what we ask, how we ask it, or where we ask it. For example, online surveys are a simple and cost-effective survey method, but they will often be weighted towards a certain demographic – those who have access to and regularly use the internet – so alternative research techniques such as focus groups must also be considered.
As the Government considers interventions to save the local rag we look at whether it be enough to stop the onward march of online journalism.

Bleak Old Shop of Stuff
In a remarkable and audacious experiment, The Bleak Old Shop of Stuff is the first television programme in over one hundred and seventeen years to be made using traditional Victorian television making techniques. Honestly. Here on the Red Button we'll show you how the sometimes relatively fearless cast and crew coped with steam cameras, on-set urchins and the occasional cholera outbreak behind the scenes.

A Treasury minister has claimed that being able to pay online an indirect levy on the self-employed which the government was only last month going to axe is proof it is supporting people who work for themselves.
Mel Stride, financial secretary to the Treasury, made the claim in response to Tory MP Adam Afriyie, who asked in parliament what steps chancellor Philip Hammond has taken to simplify National Insurance for the self-employed.
Responding on behalf of Mr Hammond, whose department consulted with that very aim of simplification back in 2016, Mr Stride decided to speak not about NICs -- as he was asked, but about personal taxation for all individuals.
In his answer to the parliamentary question, the minister pointed out that "everyone including the self-employed" have seen their tax-free personal allowance increase to £12,500.
Mr Stride then claimed that the government has "reduced the administration burden on the self-employed" by £19million a year by ensuring Class 2 NICs can be paid online via self-assessment.
Supporters of the self-employed took to social media to demand the minister evidence the £19million figure, but they also pointed out that "confusing" Class 2 NICs were originally due to no longer exist by now.
In fact, in light of "unintended consequences" to carrying out previous chancellor George Osborne's pledge of a £143 tax cut for freelancers, the government said in November 2017 that the April 2018 abandonment of Class 2 NICs would need postponing until 2019.
This month however, the government turned that postponement into an outright cancellation, saying following through with it would harm the low-income self-employed, and introduce greater complexity into the tax system.
Freelance trade groups have condemned the U-turn, saying it shows the government has 'turned its back on the self-employed,' and charities agree, saying the added complications would have been outweighed by the advantages.
"The government is committed to simplifying the tax system and supporting the self-employed," Mr Stride said in answer to the parliamentary question.
To a tax dispute advisory, WTT Consulting, there are ulterior motives at play. "[Mr Stride's] party's policy is that HMRC is right because the country needs the money," said the advisory's Graham Webber.

Alexander Freiherr von Humboldt (1769-1859) was a renowned German scientist and explorer. He spent five years (1799-1804) on an expedition to South America. While there he discovered the Casiquiare River, which links the Amazon and Orinoco rivers.
Humboldt also considered the likelihood of ancient links between Europe and the Americas, pointing out remarkable similarities between the Nahuatl and Greek languages. An example of which is the Aztecan Nahuatl language's teo-cali (god's house) and the Greek theoukalia (shrine or god's house).
Furthermore, Humboldt also claimed that the Mayan and ancient Chinese calendars had a common source, an idea adopted by David H. Kelley*in a paper written decades ago, but only recently published in the journal Pre-Columbiana. A review of his work by Tara MacIsaac in Epoch Times(b) should also be read.*Jason Colavito has offered a sceptical view of that claim(a).
However, Galanopoulos and Bacon assert[263.96] that Humboldt favoured a Mediterranean inspiration for the Atlantis drama.


Description: The Stephen E. Straus Distinguished Lecture in the Science of Complementary Health Therapies series was established to honor Dr. Straus, the founding director of the National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine.
Dr. Straus built a comprehensive research enterprise, championing the efforts to establish the efficacy and safety of CAM practices while upholding the rigorous standards of science for which the NIH is known. Under his leadership, CAM research at NIH grew threefold, facilitating his vision of an evidence-based integrative approach to health care for the benefit of the public. An internationally recognized scientist, Dr. Straus also held the position of senior investigator in the Laboratory of Clinical Investigation at the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID).
When patients and families ask about health care decisions, there is often tremendous uncertainty about the best option. While biological science is unraveling the basis for health and disease and yielding a large number of therapeutic targets, ultimately, the assessment of which options are best for an individual or populations depends on empirical information derived from attempts to learn from observational studies or randomized trials. Until recently, the fragmented nature of the system for doing human research led to a large number of research, projects, the vast majority of which did not advance decision making or science.
The advent of "big data" allows us to unite patients, families, providers, administrators and researchers into networks that can deliver precisely selected cohorts for rare diseases and large populations for pragmatic clinical trials. The data fabric for these networks consists of clinical data from electronic health records and disease registries, financial and utilization data from enterprise data warehouses and individual data from patient reported outcome instruments, social media and biosensors. These data can now be combined with environmental data and social data using geospatial referencing.
Considerations about this system related to management of chronic pain will be discussed.
NLM Title: A new fabric for clinical research : application to the pain problem / Robert Califf.
Abstract: (CIT): When patients and families ask about health care decisions, there is often tremendous uncertainty about the best option. While biological science is unraveling the basis for health and disease and yielding a large number of therapeutic targets, ultimately, the assessment of which options are best for an individual or populations depends on empirical information derived from attempts to learn from observational studies or randomized trials. Until recently, the fragmented nature of the system for doing human research led to a large number of research, projects, the vast majority of which did not advance decision making or science. The advent of "big data" allows us to unite patients, families, providers, administrators and researchers into networks that can deliver precisely selected cohorts for rare diseases and large populations for pragmatic clinical trials. The data fabric for these networks consists of clinical data from electronic health records and disease registries, financial and utilization data from enterprise data warehouses and individual data from patient reported outcome instruments, social media and biosensors. These data can now be combined with environmental data and social data using geospatial referencing. Considerations about this system related to management of chronic pain will be discussed.


When Martin Seligman and his colleagues at the University of Pennsylvania were finalizing a research experiment on gratitute and the depressed, they got a surprise. The experiment was simple, almost ridiculously so. During a period of a few weeks, they asked the participants to fill out daily a so-called gratitude journal. A gratitude journal is nothing more than a diary or notepad in which you regularly note down things that you are grateful for. This could be great and important things such as the love one feels towards family members or friends, or small things such as the sun shining that day, or that you saw a movie that you liked. As part of the research experiment, Seligman asked the participants to record how deep their depression was.
And here's the surprise: it was those with the deepest depression that reported the greatest effect! This is an almost provocative scientific discovery. After decades of the development of the various forms of therapy and anti-depressant drugs it has now been confirmed that writing down something that you are grateful for can have just as much of an impact.
Here is an attempt to explain why this simple technique works. The depressed live in a bubble, where all influences from the outside world are translated before they reach the person in the bubble. This is in itself a universal phenomenon, we are all in such bubbles; the difference is whether the bubble has a negative, neutral or positive effect on how it impacts us. In my book, Rise from Darkness, I have called this phenomenon reality filters. It's irrelevant to talk about reality as it objectively exists; the only thing that matters is how the world appears to the individual. A banal example of how reality changes with these filters is how a few glasses of wine can change how you look at the world, or the difference in what is reality between a Communist and a business executive, or even an adult and a youth, and so on.
These filters are formed by many different things, and most of them come as we grow up, and from things we've experienced. If you have experienced violence or abuse then you will likely see men (or women, not all violence is carried out by men) in a completely different light than others. If you grew up in a religious sect, chances are that you will see the world differently than someone who grew up among atheists. If you are a professional in the military you will look differently on international politics than if you were a pacifist.
Back to those who are depressed. Many (most?) depressed people will look at themselves and the environment through a very grim reality filter. Many will constantly go around and break themselves down, often through internal dialogue. "You idiot," they might say, "I never succeed at anything." Or, "I am ugly, and no one will ever like me." If you state this last fact to yourself a hundred times every day, what do you think it will do to your chances of finding a partner? Your reality filter becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy. One finds that one is looking for. Because of this, reality filters self-reinforce reality.
If you tell yourself that you can not handle social situations because of social anxiety, then it will be less easy to deal with social situations. The social anxiety will increase, thus giving you one more reason to tell yourself that you can not handle social situations. And so on. If your depression is associated with seeing yourself as unattractive, then you will be less attractive and thus more depressed.
To break this self-reinforcing mechanism you must learn to think in a different way. The good news is that the positive spirals are also self-reinforcing. Imagine a river that flows down a slope. The river digs deeper and wider with each passing day. However, if one day an excavator were to dig a small alternative passage, some of river water will flow down that route. If each day the excavator were to dig the alternative course of the river a bit deeper or wider, more and more water will flow that way. Eventually, it will no longer be necessary to excavate further; instead the alternative course of the river will itself increase its depth and width taking the flow of more of the water that way.
Gratitude may be the excavator. If most of your thoughts revolve around everything that is wrong with the world (war, poverty, environmental destruction, etc.) and everything that is wrong with yourself (bad relationships, wrong job, the wrong appearance, etc.), then it's no wonder you may become depressed. But if you can manage to gradually think more about what you can actually be thankful for in life, and less on what you are missing, then you have begun to think in a different way. By making a habit of it, the positive aspects of your life will become increasingly important. The glass can now be seen as half full rather than half empty.
Gratitude alone will usually not be enough to eliminate depression. But it can be a major contributor. And everything helps to make a difference. If you do not act because you are waiting for a cure for depression that is 100% effective, you will never act. There are no such cures, but there are many different techniques which together can make a huge difference.
Therefore, I would recommend to anyone who is struggling with depression to try using a gratitude diary for a few weeks. And once you've done that, you can just continue, because it may just become an advantageous habit for life. Perhaps this small action will prompt and motivate you to take other positive measures; it may inspire you to take your fitness more seriously or to change the way you think about your cognitive therapy, and to become more socially active, etc.
More gratitude can be like a snowball rolling down a snowy hill. Who knows where it will take you?

Dear Candidate,
The University of Edinburgh is an exciting place to work. We are a global institution that attracts staff and students from around the world, delivering top quality graduates and excellent research in a highly competitive environment. The University was established in 1583 and has played an important role locally, nationally and internationally ever since. The expectation is that in the current financial year our turnover will exceed £1bn for the first time, as we continue to grow our various income streams and collaborations. This work is made possible by more than 13,000 talented staff members and our strong industry partnerships both locally and globally.
To ensure that the University continues to maintain its prominent position in Scotland and the World we need to ensure that we deploy our resources effectively, sustainably and with impact. Our Finance Business Partnering team was established a few years ago to help us develop business cases, which support the strategic ambitions of the University. Our team will engage with our academics and professional service colleagues to build and present propositions for investment that will help the University realise its goals and stated objectives. Critically evaluating assumptions, challenging beliefs and modelling the financial impacts over the long-term form the basis of this role, but the real skills required are the ability to listen and form effective relationships.
Technical skills are important too; understanding the financial impact of proposals and being able to articulate these with clarity to colleagues with varying backgrounds is crucial. Using modelling software along with well-developed templates, our aim is to provide our principal decision makers with the best information available to support the decisions they make. We will also review and analyse projects completed to ensure that we are realising the benefits we expected and that we learn lessons for future projects with similar aspects.
There is real breadth in what the Finance Business Partners do, including supporting the development of new buildings (research facilities, teaching spaces, student accommodation for example), the commercialisation of Intellectual Property, proposed collaborations with other organisations (such as overseas universities or Industry), review of internal processes and systems that support new initiatives and financial impacts of policy decisions or objectives. The post-holder will experience a wide range of activities across this large comprehensive university.
The Finance Business Partner team sits within the Finance Department. Our vision in Finance is to be world-class in everything we do, recognised as a trusted strategic partner in the successful delivery of the University's academic mission. We work with integrity, demonstrating our values as one combined transparent, innovative, customer-focused team of experts.
The University of Edinburgh is a great place to work, and is hugely proactive in its approach to continual improvement and investment. The Finance Business Partner role is central to helping the University achieve its goals and is viewed as an extremely helpful critical friend who is able to bring rigour and consistency to proposals which will promote good decisions.
I look forward to welcoming our newest member to the team so that we can continue to provide this valuable high-profile service to our colleagues and other stakeholders.
