Ernst Geuder (* 4. September 1884 in Berlin; † 31. August 1970 in Recklinghausen) war ein deutscher Rennfahrer, Sportjournalist und Mitbegründer des ADAC. Er gehörte zu den Pionieren des Motorradfahrens.

Leben
Ernst Geuder wurde am 4. September 1884 in Berlin geboren und wuchs in der naheliegenden Kleinstadt Werneuchen auf. Schon von klein auf begeisterten ihn alle technischen Maschinen und Berichte über maschinenbetriebene Fortbewegungsmittel. Auch faszinierten Geuder die Hochräder der damaligen Zeit, die sein Vater jedoch, wie viele andere auch, als "Seelenverkäufer"  empfand und ihm daher das Fahren solch eines Hochrades verbot. Erst als sich die "Rover" mit Luftbereifung durchsetzten, konnte Geuder seinen Vater davon überzeugen ein Fahrrad anzuschaffen. Trotz Kleinrad blieb die Sehnsucht nach schnelleren Fahrzeugen, die nach der Jahrhundertwende im Jahre 1901 endlich erfüllt wurde, als Geuder das erste Mal auf einem Motorrad saß.

Noch im hohen Alter von über 75 Jahren wart es für Ernst Geuder in den 1960ern unvorstellbar, auf ein motorisiertes Zweirad zu verzichten. So nahm er 1960 noch mit seiner Vespa an der "Internationalen Rallye Radiostadt Hilversum" teil. Auch zog Geuder zu dieser Zeit durch die BRD und West-Berlin und hielt Vorträge über sein Leben als Motorradrennfahrer und präsentierte selbstgemachte Fotos der Motorräder des beginnenden 20. Jahrhunderts. Außerdem blickt Ernst Geuder in vielen selbstverfassten Texten auf sein Leben als Motorradfahrer zurück, wie zum Beispiel in diesem Zitat:

"Ein langes, dem Motorrad gewidmetes Menschenalter liegt nun hinter mir. Ich habe es erleben dürfen, wie aus dem 'hässlichen Entlein' der Pionierjahre das chromblitzende, elegante Motorrad mit allem erdenklichen Komfort wurde, und noch heute ist es mir immer wieder ein großes Erlebnis, wenn ich auf mein Motorrad steige und mich auf große Fahrt begebe. Das Fahren darauf erlebe ich immer wieder wie eine Offenbarung, und es ist wie vor 60 Jahren für mich ein erhebendes Gefühl, wenn ich meine Maschine elegant in die Kurve lege und sie mir auf jeden Fingerdruck gehorcht. Dann tausche ich mit keinem Wagenfahrer, der von diesen Schönheiten des Motorradsportes meistens nichts ahnt!"

Am 31. August 1970 starb Ernst Geuder mit 85 Jahren in Recklinghausen, wo am 3. September 1970 die Trauerfeier in der Friedhofskapelle auf dem Nordfriedhof stattfand. Anschließend wurden seine sterblichen Überreste zur Einäscherung nach Bochum gebracht.

Der Nachlass von Ernst Geuder gelangte 1989 als Geschenk der Erben an das Landesarchiv NRW Abteilung Westfalen.

Motorrad
Am 1. April 1901 saß Ernst Geuder im belgischen Lüttich-Herstal das erste Mal in seinem Leben auf einem Motorrad. Es war eine Versuchsmaschine der dortigen FN-Werke mit einem ¾-PS-Viertaktmotor über dem Vorderrad. Trotz aller anfänglicher Schwierigkeiten und Kinderkrankheiten der Motorräder der damaligen Zeit war ein Leben ohne Motorrad für Geuder von diesem Tag an nicht mehr vorstellbar. So kam es, dass er am 8. August 1903 in seiner Heimatstadt Werneuchen sein erstes Motorradrennen absolvierte. Die Rennstrecke führte in das 4,5 km entfernte Wegendorf und wieder zurück. Sein einziger Gegner und Sieger des Rennens war Hermann Mittenzwey. Diesem ersten Rennen sollten noch viele weitere und durchaus erfolgreichere Rennen folgen, zum Beispiel der Große Preis von Berlin am 5. Mai 1907 auf der Treptower Zementbahn, den Geuder gewann oder das Rennen der schweren Maschinen in Hannover am 31. Mai 1908, welches Geuder als Sieger und somit deutscher Meister beendete.

Am 20. März 1906 gründete Ernst Geuder zusammen mit dem Fahrradhändler Erich Hindenberg, dem Tierarzt Köppe, dem Zigarrenfabrikanten Paul Kühn und den Gebrüdern Nebel den Motorradclub Werneuchen 1906 e.V., welcher noch heute existiert.

Im Ersten Weltkrieg gehörte Geuder zunächst dem Militärischen Verstärkungskommando der kaiserlichen Automobil-Abteilung als Kraftfahrer an und wurde so in der Départementshauptstadt Charleville in Nordfrankreich stationiert. Ab 1917 zog man ihn, als einen der wenigen Offiziere, der Erfahrung mit Motorrädern hatte, zusammen mit Leutnant Hans Poppe aus Ahaus zum Aufbau der Armeekraftradabteilung 14 heran. Im lothringischen Mörchingen leitete Poppe damals die Reparaturwerkstatt und Geuder kümmerte sich um den Außendienst und die Ausbildung der neuen Kraftradfahrer. Ende Dezember 1917 wurde die Armeekraftradabteilung 14 nach Schlettstadt ins Elsass verlegt, wo Geuder mit einer kurzen Unterbrechung bis Kriegsende blieb. Unterbrochen wurde die Zeit in Schlettstadt durch eine Reise zum Zementbahnrennen im Juni 1918 in Chauny, welches zur Hebung der allgemeinen Stimmung der Soldaten an der Front veranstaltet wurde. Geuder wurde hier als Ehrengast angekündigt und gewann das Stundenrennen auf der extra für das Rennen geflickten Zementbahn.

Nach dem Krieg nahm Geuder wieder an Motorradrennen teil. Darunter auch das Stundenrennen auf der Zementbahn in Nürnberg-Reichelsdorferkeller im Juni 1920, bei dem es um die bayrische Meisterschaft ging. Bei diesem Rennen verunfallte Geuder durch eine Kollision mit dem Rennfahrer Thumshirn, der später an den Folgen des Unfalls verstarb. Auch Geuder wurde nach diesem Unfall fälschlicherweise für tot erklärt, was er auf dem Weg in sein Hotelzimmer erfuhr, da Extrablätter mit dieser Nachricht in Nürnberg verteilt wurden.

Weiteres Aufsehen verursachte Ernst Geuder mit seiner Non-Stop Fahrt von Werneuchen über Berlin nach Lüttich innerhalb eines Tages im Jahr 1928. Er startete mit seinem Freund, dem Kfz-Meister Reinhold Schmalle, am 19. Juli 1928 um 0:00 Uhr in Werneuchen und sie erreichten um 22:48 Uhr desselben Tages nach 964 km Fahrt das Hotel de l'Europe in Lüttich, in dem sie übernachteten. Mit dem Erfolg dieser Mission hatte niemand gerechnet:

"Der Gedanke, die für damalige Verhältnisse riesenhaft anmutende Strecke von Berlin nach Lüttich mit einem Motorrad in einer pausenlosen Fahrt an einem einzigen Tag zu bewältigen, hatte mich jahrelang beschäftigt. Er wurde jedoch sogar von den FN-Leuten ins Reich der Utopie verwiesen. Die Motorräder um die Mitte der 1920er-Jahre waren zwar maschinell bereits sehr leistungsfähig, aber sie waren noch durchweg mit Hochdruckreifen ausgerüstet, und meine Freunde hielten mir immer vor, dass kein Fahrer imstande wäre, die harten Stöße auf den damaligen, noch recht primitiven deutschen Landstraßen einen ganzen Tag lang auszuhalten, ganz abgesehen von den enormen körperlichen und geistigen Anstrengungen einer derartigen Fahrt."

Fliegerei
Im Jahr 1906 unternahm Ernst Geuder seinen ersten Flugversuch. Der damals 22-jährige Geuder wurde wegen seiner bekannten Leidenschaft für motorbetriebene Fortbewegungsmittel und der damit verbundenen Risikobereitschaft angefragt, ob er eine der beiden Maschinen des Flugtechnischen Vereins Berlin testen wolle. Der Versuch Geuders endete mit einer Bruchlandung, wurde jedoch von allen Anwesenden sehr bejubelt, da er unbewusst einen Looping geflogen war.

Als Geuder schon bestimmt 60 Flugkilometer absolviert hatte, bat ihn sein Schweizer Freund und Motorradkollege Edmond Audemars im Jahr 1911 mit ihm von Paris nach Berlin zu fliegen. Anreiz hierfür waren 50.000 Golfranken, die die Firma Michelin für den ersten Fernflug von Paris nach Berlin innerhalb eines Tages ausgesetzt hatten. Geuder stimmte zu und flog mit Audemars, nachdem dieser den ersten Teil der Strecke mit seinem Copiloten Colombo im Eindecker absolviert hatte, die letzten 475 km vom Flugplatz Herten bis zum Flugplatz Berlin-Johannisthal, wo sie von einer begeisterten Menge empfangen wurden.

Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison (D) on Friday warned about the possibility of President Donald Trump winning the North Star State.
"The president is putting a lot of money into your state. He's greatly increased his ad buy, $1.2 million in TV advertising in the final week of the campaign, more than was spent in the preceding three weeks combined. Do you think the president has a real shot in Minnesota?" CNN's Chris Cuomo asked.
The attorney general said he could see the possibility of Trump pulling out a win in Minnesota.
"Honestly, yeah, I do. I will tell you that I believe in our campaign workers and organizers. They're working extremely hard. I can tell you that Minnesotans know what a problem Trump is," Ellison explained. "They know he doesn't care about their health care. They know all the bad things about him. But, you know, there are some folks who still are supporting him. And so what I tell people is, one, he does have a shot, don't play it cheap, work hard for every single vote. And don't stop until 8 o'clock on November 3."
"We did not shut down their rally," says Minnesota AG Keith Ellison about Trump's criticism of Dems limiting the capacity at his rally. "All we're trying to do is protect people from a deadly virus that has taken the lives of about 2,400 Minnesotans and about 230,000 Americans." pic.twitter.com/1qkejbAFpD

President Trump has a shot at winning Minnesota, particularly after the riots in Minneapolis following the death of George Floyd. People in the Rust Belt realize that this president is about law and order and backing the men and women in blue. They also know that the USMCA singlehandedly saved manufacturing jobs, especially in their part of the country.

I'm sure that your account will continue to resonate and affect people for a very long time.
Professor Damien Ridge
The way you open up and share your journey while being brave enough to be honest and vulnerable is a refreshing and inspiring way to talk about your experience. Especially among men.
Awesome, courageous, inspiring. The candid sharing of experiences with others provides a wonderful opportunity to de-stigmatise mental health and give hope to others. It possessed a true realness-not a glossy picture but included the reality of mental illness and the belief that is a way back and a way forward.

Private investigator August Riordan returns to San Francisco to avenge the death of his friend and one-time partner, Chris Duckworth. Duckworth has taken over Riordan's old business, his old office and even his old apartment, and Riordan suspects Duckworth's death is linked to the missing person case he was working when he died.
An alluring young woman named Angelina hired Duckworth to look for her half-sister, but what Riordan finds instead is a murderous polyamorous family intent on claiming a previously unknown manuscript from dead Beat writer Jack Kerouac.
Following clues from Duckworth and a trail of mutilated bodies left by the family, Riordan soon realizes that avenging his partner will first involve recovering the manuscript—and then saving Angelina and himself from kidnap, torture and death. As the bodies pile up, Riordan must work with old allies and enemies to untangle Duckworth's last case before time runs out.

Debra B, Reviewer
This book was entertaining with a creative plot and quickly moving story line. I was thinking that I wish I had read all the other books in this series before the current one. However, even though I know how things end up for one person, I can still enjoy the journeys that brought the characters to this point in their lives, or deaths by starting at beginning. Thank you NetGalley and Mark Coggins for the early read!
Gordon J, Media
A good read, written in the Raymond Chandler style of American gumshoes but so much better than that. Rapid action set in SAN Francisco modern day with all the good and bad bits of modern life. Really enjoyed it and now need to look for others in the series, book leaves you wanting more.GREAT READ
Sharon C, Reviewer
Fun! That's how I would describe The Dead Beat Scroll. This is my first introduction to private investigator August Riordan, who has just returned to San Francisco to discover the truth about the murder of his former partner and friend, Chris. Chris had taken over August's PI agency and was mostly working on cyber cases, so why had he been found in a sleazy massage parlor? Not exactly the kind of place a gay man like Chris would be hanging out. In his search for the truth, August meets Chris's last client, Angelina, who was searching for her half-sister. The trail leads to a bizarre cast of characters, including a polyamorous family, a Chinese ganglord, a massage worker/manicurist, to name a few. It also leads to a manuscript written in a scroll by Beat writer Jack Kerouac. What more could a reader want? Like I said, fun!! It's a fast-paced book and a wild ride. My thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for providing me an advance digital copy in return for an honest review.
Grace K, Reviewer
PI August Riordan returns to San Francisco when his best friend Chris Duckworth has gone missing. Duckworth has taken over Riordan's PI business, office and even his Post Street apartment. When Ducksworth is found shot dead at a massage parlor, Riordan thinks the motive for his murder lies in one of his recent cases. Duckworth's last client, Angelina Evangelista had hired him to find her half-sister Corinne White. Riordan follows a trail of mutilated bodies left by a murderous polyamorous family obsessed with finding an unknown manuscript from dead Beat writer Jack Kerouac. But when Angelina is kidnapped, Riordan must come up with a plan to find the missing dead beat scroll to set a trap to save her and avenge his friend. This was another fun romp through San Francisco with the stubborn old-fashioned PI and his band of friends. The black and white photographs in each chapter are also taken by the author and adds a nice cinematic touch to the story. I received an eARC from Netgalley and Down and Out Books with no requirements for a review. I voluntarily read this book and provided this review.

Madelaine Petsch Almost Played Betty on "Riverdale"
It's hard to imagine.
Lili Reinhart has become synonymous with her Riverdale character Betty Cooper, but a different actress was almost cast in the role. Madelaine Petsch recently said in a Q&A that she was strongly considered for the part of Betty.
"I initially auditioned for Legends of Tomorrow, and I then got called in the same day for a producer session for that guest [role]," she said. "From there, I came in three days later, for producers for Betty."
She didn't get that part — but the producers did have a (correct) hunch she'd be good for a different role. "I'm pretty sure they always knew they wanted me for Cheryl," she said. "Then, four months later, I came in for Cheryl!"
The casting of Madelaine as a mean girl may have been ironic, since she was the one bullied in school, she recently told Stylecaster. But nevertheless, she was perfect for the role, and now Cheryl's become just as synonymous with her as Betty is with Lili.

Beauty, simplicity, functionality, and durability are all blended in one revolutionary piece of fire protection equipment: our designer 12-year wireless battery smoke alarm. Manufactured by Pyrexx, the alarm is powered by a lithium battery whose life span is 12 years! As far as aesthetic considerations are concerned, two features set this alarm apart: first, the alarm's face can be painted to match the colour scheme of the room; secondly, this alarm does not include the little red flashing light that is commonly found on smoke alarms.
These two features ensure that your need for fire protection does not interrupt the interior design of your building. To avoid false alarms, our 12-year designer wireless battery smoke alarm has sensors sensitive to both heat and smoke. This alarm can be wirelessly connected to up to 15 other alarms. This is so that, if one alarm goes off, all the other alarms are also set off so that occupants of other parts of your property can receive the warning in good time. The alarm is so easy to use. To test it, for instance, you only need to push its test and hush button to set it off and, to silence it, just push the button again. Duly approved in accordance with DIN EN 14604 / CE, the alarm needs no more than magnetic-gel-pad or screw mounting to fix. Both of these are provided.

Grindon Hall founders resign

Report from Schoolsweek 2nd October 2016
Founders of Christian faith school resign after secular takeover
The founders of a Christian-ethos free school have resigned as trustees, citing anger at the government's "lack of protection" for the institution's religious character.
Elizabeth Gray and John Burn have stepped away from the Grindon Hall Christian school in Sunderland as a lengthy takeover by the Bright Tribe academy trust nears its conclusion.
The pair say they had no choice but to resign because Grindon Hall, which Gray founded as an independent school nearly 30 years ago, before it converted into a free school in 2012, will lose its Christian ethos.
Burn, a former headteacher and member of the National Curriculum Council, told Schools Week: "Bright Tribe is not a Christian body, it's a secular body, and it's ridiculous to expect a secular body to manage a Christian school."
He said the school did not have the same government protection given to those that formally belonged to the Church of England or Catholic church.
"The Anglican schools are protected," Burn said. "We're a non-denominational Christian school, and we think we should be in the same position as the Anglican and Roman Catholic schools."

To make this red chile oil, I used 2 cups of peanut oil. I waited for the hot to be hot enough before I put in approximately 1/4 cup of the chili flakes.
We used these Sichuan red chile flakes. They are in bigger flakes and do smell different from standard chile flakes.
After five minutes, I turned off the heat. I was actually too lazy to strain the oil immediately and waited for the next day to pour the oil through a strainer or a cheesecloth.
After straining out the flakes, the result is a beautiful red oil that you can now use for your spicy Sichuan dishes.
I think TS has another fantastic application for this oil. Stay tuned!
I know I've gone on record on this blog saying that I don't like store-bought chicken stock. For most applications, 99 times out of 100, I prefer to use homemade chicken stock and will even substitute the chicken stock in a recipe with water if need be.
There is that odd one dish out of the hundred, however, when what I want to achieve is that industrial-commercial taste that only store-bought chicken stock can bring. You know, that taste.
Think the taste of a Chicken McNugget, what Michael Pollan has brilliantly called, in his Omnivore's Dilemma, as that "allusion to chicken," not the taste of real chicken, mind you, but maybe something even more powerful than that, what maybe is the collective nostalgia for that "lost" taste of chicken.
That powerful invocation of "lost" tastes and flavours -- well, that is precisely what I want to have with my shredded beef sandwiches.
Because it does make these shredded beef sandwiches taste so good.
Please don't ask me to find the exact quote and the page number from the book and enough with the pseudo-analysis.
This is a very straightforward recipe.
I sweated some garlic and onions in olive oil and butter. For this application, I didn't want them to get caramelized.
When the onions were sweated enough to release their fragrance, I plopped the beef into the pot and sweated that too.
You can, of course, brown the beef first if so inclined. I just didn't think that browning the beef was going to be necessary, given that I already had a lot of help in the "commercial flavour" department. I added garlic powder and black pepper.
Enter store-bought chicken stock. Enter soy sauce. This tandem makes commercial flavour.
The beef was left in the pot to simmer until tender, which took approximately two hours. You can leave it longer, I suppose, given that the beef was going to be shredded anyways, that is, there really was no way to overcook the beef.
When the beef was done, I used a couple of forks to shred the meat, after which I put the meat back into the pot with the juices. You can also separate the meat from its juices at this point.
The juice is of course going to the dip of beef dip. For somebody more patient, you can leave the liquid to cool overnight. This would make it easier to skim the fat off. I wanted to have my shredded beef sandwiches that day so I made do with spooning the fat out of the "jus" as best I can.
For the side, to complete the experience, I wanted to serve my shredded beef sandwiches with some french fries. I cut up some potatoes into sticks, with the best of intention of frying them up, but when I saw that there were quite a lot of them, I decided to bake them off in the oven. I might have over-baked them a tad in fact.
I bought some "artisan" baguettes from Safeway. Still in keeping with the theme, after all.
The verdict: very commercial, very good.
Nothing like having beef juices drip down one's arm after a very big bite.
adapted from The Pioneer Woman's "Drip Beef, Two Ways"
Melt butter in pot with olive oil. Sweat onions until fragrant. Add beef roast to pot. Add soy sauce, chicken stock, and pepper. Bring to a boil and simmer until beef is tender, approximately 2 hours. Shred.
You can put the shredded beef back into the pot with the sauce or serve the shredded beef dry.
To use the sauce as dip, try to skim as much fat as possible with a skimmer. Alternatively, let sauce cool overnight in the fridge and skim fat the next day. Heat the sauce and serve with shredded beef sandwiches.
I chanced upon this recipe for "Deep Fried Fish, Suzhou Style" while browsing through Pei Mei's cookbooks.
Hm, didn't I read something about Suzhou being a sub-branch of Jiangsu cuisine?
Oh, why yes, Suzhou is indeed one of the three sub-branches, along with Wuxi and Nanjing, of Jiangsu cuisine.
This is the final (at least, final for now!) recipe from our Jiangsu series, to coincide with the second installment of Chowtimes' Eight Great Traditions of Chinese Cuisine (8GTCC) dinners. The second dinner is done and I can't wait for the next one.
I knew I wanted to get a fish dish in as one of our recipes and perhaps the most well-known fish dish in Jiangsu cuisine is 松鼠鱖魚, usually translated as Squirrel Fish.
Don't worry, no actual squirrels are harmed in making this dish. This is a fish that is deboned, the flesh cut in a cross-hatch pattern to look like a squirrel in flight, then fried, and served with a sweet and sour sauce.
Like a lot of Chinese dishes, there is a story behind the dish "Squirrel Fish."
Apparently, a long time ago, an Emperor wanted to eat carp, but for some reason -- I'm not too clear about the reason -- carp was verboten. Of course, being the Emperor, he wanted to get his way. His chef then had to devise a way to make the carp un-carplike, using his kitchen techniques to make the fish look like a flying squirrel instead.
We were served a version of this at our Jiangsu dinner at Shanghai Village, although Chef Ming's fish looks more like a dragon than a flying squirrel. In his more grandiose interpretation of the dish, he even included foam (from egg whites, I assume) to masquerade as clouds.
As you can see from the intricate knife work involved, Squirrel Fish is a tad ambitious. Plus, TS is not too crazy about fish in sweet and sour sauce, to the point of dislike. I'm not too crazy about fish in sweet and sour sauce either, but I'm only to the point of indifference.
So onwards to "Deep Fried Fish, Suzhou Style" as something that is more manageable within our limitations and inclinations.
Suzhou Smoked Fish is not smoked!
Just a note about the name of this dish. It is actually called 蘇州燻魚, which means "Suzhou Smoked Fish". JS originally did not want to call our dish such, as we did not smoke the fish for our version.
But then, I wanted to confirm that she provided the correct Chinese name for this dish, since she originally wrote down 蘇式油炸魚, meaning "Deep-fried Fish in the style of Suzhou". After intense googling, made more challenging by a language barrier, I have discovered that Suzhou Smoked Fish is not smoked at all!
First, a Squirrel Fish, now a non-smoked Smoked Fish! Those wily Chinese!
Perhaps JS and I are late to the party, because apparently, this fact is "known", as attested by mmm-yoso's posts describing this "smoked" dish (here and here).
A little research yielded the story behind Squirrel Fish. I don't know what the story is behind the non-smoked smoked fish though. Perhaps somebody can chime in?
Anyhow, here's how to make this non-smoked Suzhou Smoked Fish. It's so simple that you'll wonder at the length of our introduction.
I chose grass carp for this dish. I had originally wanted to do halibut, but decided against it because halibut flesh might be too firm for this application. I wanted a meaty fish but with some give. I took home about 2 pounds of grass carp steaks.
Since the fish was already in steaks, I cut up each into four sections instead of slicing the fish thinly. I didn't bother taking out the bones as I was afraid that the fish might fall apart without them.
The first step is to marinate the fish with some soy sauce, Shaoxing wine, green onions and ginger for 30 minutes. Wine, green onions, and ginger are often used with fish as it is believed to combat the "fishiness" of fish. In some Western recipes, soaking fish first in milk is supposed to achieve the same result.
In the meantime, I made the Suzhou-style sweet-and-salty sauce.
This is a very simple sauce consisting of soy sauce, sugar, water, a pinch of five-spice powder, and a few droplets of sesame oil. The flavour should be a balance of salty and sweet, tipping a couple of points towards the sweet side if you have to err. It was brought to a boil and simmered on low.
After the fish had marinated for some time, it was a simple fry job. The fish pieces were fried until they're done and a deep brown colour.
When they're good and fried, we soaked them in the Suzhou-style sweet-and-salty sauce. We soaked ours for about 5 to 8 minutes a piece and took them out after to prevent them from getting too soaked and soggy. This is a longer soaking time (longer than 1 to 3 minutes) because our fish pieces were thick.
When it came to serving the fish, we drizzled the sauce over the fish. The sauce is delicious after being infused with the fried fish. Or is it the other way around? Is it the fish is delicious after being soaked in the sauce?
Anyhoo, which is infusing which doesn't really matter. This dish is fantastic.
Again, as with the other Jiangsu dishes, this is an instant hit with the family. We served it more as a "viand" (or ulam, to be eaten with rice), with the sauce included, rather than an appetizer, which is usually sans sauce.
This sauce is the same type of sauce that was served with the Spot Prawns dish we had at the 8GTCC Shanghai Village dinner. Definitely a keeper sauce with seafood.
Actually, it also works fantastically with crispy fried chicken. The method is the same: marinate the chicken pieces in the marinade (4 to 6 hours or overnight if possible), fry your chicken pieces, then soak in the sauce when done. Serve chicken pieces with sauce and eat with rice.
By the way, thanks again to fmed for letting us use his photos from the Shanghai Village dinner. Thanks, fmed!
Marinate carp pieces with marinade ingredients for 30 to 45 minutes.
In the meantime, in a separate pot, mix together ingredients for the soaking sauce. Bring to a gentle boil and put on simmer.
Fry fish pieces in oil until deep brown. Put fried fish pieces in the soaking sauce. You can take the fish out after five to eight minutes to prevent them from getting too soggy.
To serve, arrange fish pieces on a plate and drizzle with sauce, if desired. Garnish with green onions. Enjoy.


Teachers are often pushed for ideas. Although they have past experience to go by, what is amazing is that given the right incentive and opportunity, students also have ideas which are refreshingly possible. The teacher needs to learn to bring out these ideas, and there are very simple ways to develop ideas within the classroom which can be used within the community to benefit the people of that community. Whether in a rich or poor area, there are always things which those living within the community can see as needing change. Student ideas can be very valuable indeed though to trigger these, the teacher needs to approach the idea in a subtle way that makes the student feel they are contributing to the community in which they live.
These are all viable topics. In a poor community, perhaps there are no playground facilities for young people. Perhaps parks and gardens have been neglected and are in need of a community project to put them back into order. Gleaning information is important and although a teacher may hint at the kind of ideas, it's important that the children come up with their own ideas, as this gives them much more incentive to carry out those ideas and take the recognition for having come up with them.
The children can make a map of the particular community and put down all the things that they know to be available. Then, the class can discuss from this basic map, which can be blackboard based, what elements would be good to include. These may be small projects, but from seeds, trees grow and it is these basic ideas that help children to come up with ideas.
This is another important aspect to look at. Ask the students how the area affects their family members. Perhaps the elderly don't go out much because of physical difficulties. Perhaps they find it hard to climb steps or don't feel safe. If there is an element where elderly people are deprived of liberty because of their community backdrop, perhaps the teacher can suggest that the community project may be based on elderly need and could be as simple as providing a service to the elderly that they don't already have. Things that spring to mind are taking pets out for walks where elderly people are unable to do this, or simply visiting those people who are alone, though this should be a joint visit where teachers and children are involved and where no safety issues are involved.
Here, the children could come up with ideas about how these could be improved. It may be that a wildlife garden area could be worthwhile exploring, or a place within the park where people could feed the birds. In inner city environments, perhaps students may feel that people are deprived of the possibility of seeing birds or experiencing natural elements and these could be involved in a project. The best way to find out is to talk to the students and make vague suggestions, letting them come up with the actual ideas. In parks and gardens, litter may be a particular problem and the community project could involve litter awareness and the cleaning up of the park area.
Perhaps there is a particular problem with pets fouling within the park areas that exist. An awareness campaign could be a good project idea, though the student should come up with ideas about how to put this in practice. It is good for the student and the dialog which ensues after an initial idea is suggested is very useful for the student's logical thinking and evaluation process, helping them to see all sides of the problem at hand, rather than seeing the project in black and white.
There are thousands of different possibilities, though the teacher should explain to the students what the community is, and what the responsibility of community members comprises. Then go on to relate how that works in the community in which the student lives, and how students could come up with ideas to make that environment a better place for people to live which would make viable projects. Rather than squashing ideas which are not viable, the teacher should encourage the students to make them viable. For example, if a child suggested something which involved unsafe or potentially dangerous activity where someone could get hurt, they should be asked to expand upon those ideas bearing in mind all safety aspects. Gradually, they learn to see the bigger picture and to come up with a unique perspective, but this can only be based on common sense when the teacher sets out the common sense parameters for such a project.

Taking cardiac rehab a step further: How one Canadian health system addresses medical and social concerns through its 'hybrid' rehab model
By Rebecca&nbspSoistmannPaul&nbspTrigonoplos
When Covid-19 struck, health systems rapidly shifted certain in-person care models to virtual, home-based offerings to limit the spread of the coronavirus and maintain care continuity. One integrated health and social services network in Québec—Centre Intégré Universitaire de Santé et de Services Sociaux du Centre-Ouest-de-I'île-de-Montréal (CIUSSS West-Central Montréal)—was just seven months into operating its new regional cardiac rehabilitation program when health officials detected Covid-19 in Canada.
This program improves cardiac health and decreases chances of future heart problems after patients experience heart attack, heart failure, angioplasty, or heart surgery through exercise and education in addition to routine medical visits. CIUSSS West-Central Montréal's cardiac rehab has enrolled 254 patients overall since its inception.
Webinar: How to optimize your cardiac rehab program
Despite the program's infancy when Covid-19 was initially detected, CIUSSS West-Central Montréal's clinical coordinators were forced to rapidly restructure it to deliver those "holistic" elements virtually as well as in-person, preserving access in the process.
This new version is considered a "hybrid" model—patients have the option to meet with their clinicians through a mix of phone and video appointments, or to continue their weekly in-person appointments.
The model's 3 'hybrid' elements address medical, social concerns that affect cardiac health
What sets this model apart from other hybrid cardiac rehab programs is its dedication to addressing both medical and social factors that lead to poor cardiac health through hybrid delivery.
1. Motivational interviewing: Clinicians in this program use motivational interviewing to reflect patients' medical and social concerns back to them and establish an individualized care plan to address them. This form of interviewing empowers people to make changes in their lives by drawing out their own meaning, importance, and agency for change. Just as they would in person, clinicians maintained this form of dialogue with patients over virtual platforms to help address new fears and concerns brought on by Covid-19.
2. Live exercise sessions: In-person program participants still exercise in the program's clinic, but the kinesiologists on the care team organized home-based, live virtual exercise sessions as well. These sessions help to maintain a group environment, encourage camaraderie, and help patients maintain daily workout schedules. While participants typically finish cardiac rehab in 12-16 weeks, they can still access these live sessions after they complete the program. In this way, patients can stay in contact with each other, maintain their workout routines designed to meet their clinical needs, and can continue to hardwire these habits into the future.
How virtual cardiac rehab can fill the Covid-19 treatment gap
3. Access to a multidisciplinary care team: The program's care team is composed of a wide variety of clinicians—kinesiologists, cardiologists, a nurse, a dietician, a psychologist, a social worker, a physiotherapist, and an occupational therapist—to provide guidance for all areas of a patient's life that could contribute to cardiac issues. For example, stress is a massive contributor to cardiac problems so having a psychologist and a social worker on the team to help patients address these issues brings long-term clinical benefit. Patients can now schedule virtual appointments with each clinician depending on their needs and specific care plans.
How we know the hybrid model is working—and what's in store for its future
While it's too early to quantitatively assess the shift to the hybrid program, two signs point to initial success:
1. Higher patient satisfaction: Even though the hybrid model's patients had to navigate the same telehealth-related hiccups that patients everywhere had at the onset of the pandemic, the participants report high levels of satisfaction with the program. Clinical coordinators shared that the virtual components of the program allowed patients to remain connected during the pandemic, thereby decreasing social isolation and potential stress that could contribute negatively to their cardiac health. Since most cardiac rehab participants are elderly, keeping them home, safe, and healthy during Covid-19 was pertinent.
2. Better participant adherence: 10 months into the hybrid program's existence, the clinical coordinators report that very few patients have withdrawn from the program prior to completion. They attribute this increased adherence to both having flexibility in care delivery and to the program's insistence on addressing patients' range of medical and social concerns.
The clinical coordinators developed an electronic referral system within the system's EMR which prompts the cardiologist at discharge to refer or not refer patients to cardiac rehab after specific diagnoses and care plans. This ensures that cardiologists consider cardiac rehab for all patients with similar diagnoses.
This new referral method went live on June 14th. As the program's main clinical coordinator told us, "Research supports home-based rehab models. This is something we're going to continue. This is the model of the future, to be able to reach out to as many people as possible."
Join our Market Trends webinar series
We plan to share more about this program and other ways Covid-19 impacted cardiovascular care in our 2021 Cardiovascular Market Trends executive presentations on July 13th (Atlantic session) and July 14th (Pacific session). We hope to see you there!

P035: Improving emergency department outcomes for Alberta seniors
G. Sandhar, M. Kruhlak, L. Krebs, L. Gaudet, S. Couperthwaite, B. Rowe
Journal: Canadian Journal of Emergency Medicine / Volume 22 / Issue S1 / May 2020
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 13 May 2020, p. S77
Introduction: In 2010, Alberta Health Services (AHS) introduced Transition Coordinators (TC), a unique nursing role focused on assessment of elderly patients to support safe discharge home. The objective of this study is to describe patient characteristics to predict safe discharge for seniors (≥65 years of age) and identify barriers that can be used to improve ED outcomes for these patients. Methods: Two trained research assistants conducted a chart review of the TC referral form and the ED Information System (EDIS) for patients seen by TCs between April and June 2017. Information on patient characteristics, existing home care and community services, the index ED visit and subsequent revisits were extracted. Data were entered into a purpose-built database in REDCap. A descriptive analysis was conducted; results are reported as mean ± standard deviation (SD), median (interquartile range [IQR]), or proportions, as appropriate. Results: A total of 1411 patients with TC referral forms were included (779 [55%] female). The majority of these patients were ≥65 (1350 [96%]) with a mean age of 82 ± 9.6. The majority of patients were triaged as a CTAS of 3 (835 [59%]) with the most common reasons for presentation including: shortness of breath (128 [9%]), abdominal pain (94 [6.7%]), and general weakness (81 [5.7%]). Nearly one third of patients (391 [30%]) were already receiving home care services; (96 [7%]) received a new home care referral as a result of their ED visit. Of all the patients, 1111 (79%) had comorbidities (median: 3 [IQR: 1 to 5]). Overall, 38% (n = 536) patients had visited the ED in the 12 months prior to the index with a median of 2 [IQR: 1 to 4) visits. On average, patient's length of stay for their index visits was 12 ± 0.35 hours. Admissions occurred for 599 [42%] patients with delays being common; the mean time between the decision to admit and the patient leaving the ED was 6 hrs ± 0.23. Conclusion: Seniors in the ED are complex patients who experience long lengths of stay and frequent delays in decision-making. Upon discharge, few patients receive referrals to community supports, potentially increasing the likelihood of revisits and readmissions. Future studies should assess whether the presence of TCs is associated with better outcomes in the community.
MP30: Implementing buprenorphine/naloxone in emergency departments for opioid agonist treatment: a quality improvement initiative
P. McLane, K. Scott, Z. Suleman, J. Deol, J. Fanaeian, A. Olmstead, M. Ross, H. Hair, B. Holroyd, E. Lang, C. Biggs, M. Ghosh, R. Tanguay, A. Fisher, S. Fielding
Background: Buprenorphine/naloxone (bup/nal) is a partial opioid agonist/antagonist and recommended first line treatment for opioid use disorder (OUD). Emergency departments (EDs) are a key point of contact with the healthcare system for patients living with OUD. Aim Statement: We implemented a multi-disciplinary quality improvement project to screen patients for OUD, initiate bup/nal for eligible individuals, and provide rapid next business day walk-in referrals to addiction clinics in the community. Measures & Design: From May to September 2018, our team worked with three ED sites and three addiction clinics to pilot the program. Implementation involved alignment with regulatory requirements, physician education, coordination with pharmacy to ensure in-ED medication access, and nurse education. The project is supported by a full-time project manager, data analyst, operations leaders, physician champions, provincial pharmacy, and the Emergency Strategic Clinical Network leadership team. For our pilot, our evaluation objective was to determine the degree to which our initiation and referral pathway was being utilized. We used administrative data to track the number of patients given bup/nal in ED, their demographics and whether they continued to fill bup/nal prescriptions 30 days after their ED visit. Addiction clinics reported both the number of patients referred to them and the number of patients attending their referral. Evaluation/Results: Administrative data shows 568 opioid-related visits to ED pilot sites during the pilot phase. Bup/nal was given to 60 unique patients in the ED during 66 unique visits. There were 32 (53%) male patients and 28 (47%) female patients. Median patient age was 34 (range: 21 to 79). ED visits where bup/nal was given had a median length of stay of 6 hours 57 minutes (IQR: 6 hours 20 minutes) and Canadian Triage Acuity Scores as follows: Level 1 – 1 (2%), Level 2 – 21 (32%), Level 3 – 32 (48%), Level 4 – 11 (17%), Level 5 – 1 (2%). 51 (77%) of these visits led to discharge. 24 (47%) discharged patients given bup/nal in ED continued to fill bup/nal prescriptions 30 days after their index ED visit. EDs also referred 37 patients with OUD to the 3 community clinics, and 16 of those individuals (43%) attended their first follow-up appointment. Discussion/Impact: Our pilot project demonstrates that with dedicated resources and broad institutional support, ED patients with OUD can be appropriately initiated on bup/nal and referred to community care.

P154: Exploring health care connections and transitions in care for patients presenting to emergency departments with acute wheezing illnesses
B. H. Rowe, C. Villa-Roel, M. Bhutani, S. Couperthwaite, N. Runham
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 11 May 2018, p. S112
Introduction: Asthma and/or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) exacerbations often result in emergency department (ED) visits. This study examined the health-related personnel providing regular care to patients with asthma and/or COPD, as well as, explored the coordination of care between the ED and outpatient settings. Methods: Descriptive cross-sectional examination of patients presenting with asthma and/or COPD exacerbations to two EDs in Edmonton between August and December 2017. Using patient interview methods information on demographics, established health care connections and health system use was collected; information on consultations, disposition and referrals was collected through chart review methods. Results: A total of 50 patients were recruited (14 patients with asthma and 36 patients with COPD). Most of the patients with asthma were female (64%) and their median age was 36 years (interquartile range [IQR]: 29, 46); sex was evenly distributed among the patients with COPD and their median age was 68 years (IQR: 61, 78). The majority reported having a family doctor (86% of the patients with asthma and 94% of the patients with COPD). On the day of admission to the ED, 29% of the patients with asthma visited their family doctor while 42% of the patients with COPD visited their Respirologist; these doctors referred >70% of the patients to the ED. While in the ED, consultations were requested in 21% of the patients with asthma (all to Pulmonary) and in 78% of the patients with COPD (evenly divided between Medicine and Pulmonary). Transition coordinators and social workers were involved in the ED care of <15% of the patients with COPD. Most patients with asthma were discharged home (86%) and 64% of the patients with COPD were hospitalized. After discharge, 14% of the patients with asthma and 50% of the patients with COPD were referred to specialized care. Conclusion: While the study patients with asthma and COPD had different health professionals providing regular care to their respiratory conditions, they both sought care before presenting to the ED. More health professionals were involved in the ED care of patients with COPD than of those with asthma. This study provided important information to support further research projects exploring ways to effectively and efficiently improve the delivery, comprehensiveness and utilization of health care services.
P053: Characteristics and outcomes of patients seen by transition coordinators in the emergency department
L.A. Gaudet, L.D. Krebs, S. Couperthwaite, M. Kruhlak, N. Loewen, E. Zilkalns, K. Clarkson, B.H. Rowe
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 11 May 2018, pp. S75-S76
Introduction: Emergency Department (ED) Transition Coordinators (TC) have been introduced to many EDs. In Alberta, the EDTC role was designed to evaluate the home needs of senior patients (75 years of age) to enable safe return home after an ED visit, thereby mitigating admissions and return ED visits. The effectiveness of this role at achieving its objectives has received limited evaluation. Methods: TCs assess all ED patients 75 years old, and physicians request TC assessment for patients <75 years. The TC assessment includes completing a Transitional Assessment Referral (TAR) form that collects information on comorbidities, living arrangements, connections to community and homecare services, independence in activities of daily living (ADLs), and referrals, and disposition. Trained research staff extracted data from consecutive TARs for patients presenting during April 2017 into a REDCap database. The proportions of patients seen by TCs who were admitted, had an unplanned return to the ED within the study period, or received a new homecare referral were assessed. Categorical variables are reported as proportions; continuous variables are reported as mean and standard deviation (SD) or median and interquartile range (IQR), as appropriate. Results: In April 2017, there were 9849 visits to the ED; of these, TCs assessed 478 patients during 500 visits. The mean age was 82 (SD=11.2) and 41% were male; 22 patients presented twice during April 2017. Patients had a median of 2 (IQR: 1, 5) co-morbidities and 40 (8%) patients reported falls in the past 90 days (median=1; IQR: 1, 2). Overall, 144 (29%) patients lived in a care facility, while 204 (41%) lived at home; residence was unclear or not documented for 152 (30%). Patients reported being independent in a median of 9/14 (IQR: 3, 13) ADLs. An existing homecare connection or receipt of homecare services was documented for 185 patients (37%). Finally, 59 (12%) visits included a new or updated homecare referral, while 200 (33%) ED visits ended in admission. Conclusion: Elderly patients seen in the ED assessed by EDTCs are complex, and despite being well connected, they frequently need hospitalization. In a small proportion of cases, additional or new home care resources are required prior to ED discharge; however, few patients returned to the same ED during the one month study period. Given the high proportion of patients assessed, further evaluation of outcomes is warranted.
P052: Utility of data captured by transition referral forms for program evaluation and research
Introduction: Increase in functional decline of older adults after discharge from the emergency department (ED) has been reported; however, evaluations of interventions to mitigate this problem are infrequent. Data collected in the ED on older adults may document functional status, yet their utility for research is unknown. This study aimed to assess the usability of data collected by ED Transition Coordinators (EDTC) during routine assessments for functional decline research. Methods: EDTCs assess all patients 75 years old presenting to the ED and complete a standardized Transitional Assessment Referral (TAR) form that documents patients independence and daily functioning. To measure the utility of these forms for research purposes, trained research staff evaluated the TARs completed in April 2017 by TCs in the University of Alberta Hospital ED by extracting data from the TARs into a purpose-built REDCap database. Researchers selected and assessed for completeness and clarity the following variables unique to the TARs: facility vs. non-facility living, goals of care and personal directive, fall history, falls in the past 90 days, independence in 14 activities of daily living (ADLs)/instrumental activities of daily living (IADLS), community services in place, and homecare referrals for discharged patients. The proportion of TARs with data for each variable and the proportion of forms with unambiguous responses in each section are reported. Results: Overall, 500 forms were analysed; patients were 41% male with a mean age of 82 (SD=11.2). Homecare referrals, facility vs. non-facility living, and independence with 14 ADLs/IADLs were the most frequently documented variables (81%, 78%, and 79%, respectively); however for ADLs/IADLs, 59% of the 79% had one or more missing components. While fall history was reported in 301 forms (60%), only 107/301 (36%) reported the number of falls in the last 90 days. The referral to homecare variable was complete in 217/268 (81%) forms; however, 99% of files were missing data about goals of care, personal directives, and receipt of community services. Conclusion: Although some information on elderly patients is consistently reported, many of the social service/human factors associated with functional decline are not recorded. While data on the TARs may be useful for studying functional decline in the ED, exploring the barriers to form completion may improve adherence thereby increasing their research utility.
P054: Interventions aimed at improvement in emergency department related transitions in care for adult patients with atrial fibrillation and flutter: a systematic review
J. Gilbertson, R. Moghrabi, S.W. Kirkland, K. Tate, W. Sevcik, N. Lam, B.H. Rowe, C. Villa-Roel
Introduction: Introduction: Transitions in care (TiC) interventions have been proposed to improve the management and outcomes of patients in emergency departments (ED). The objective of this review was to examine the effectiveness of ED-based TiC interventions to improve outcomes for adult patients presenting to an ED with acute atrial fibrillation or flutter (AFF). Methods: Methods: A comprehensive search of eight electronic databases and various grey literature sources was conducted. Comparative studies assessing the effectiveness of interventions to improve TiC for patients presenting to the ED with acute AFF were eligible. Two independent reviewers completed study selection, quality assessment, and data extraction. When applicable, relative risks (RR) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated using a random effects model and heterogeneity was reported among studies using I-square (I2) statistics. Results: Results: From 744 citations, seven studies were included, consisting of three randomized controlled trials (RCT), three before-after (B/A) studies, and one cohort study. Study quality ranged from unclear to low for the RCTs according to the risk of bias tool, moderate in the BA trials according to the BA quality assessment tool, and high quality of the cohort study according to the Newcastle Ottawa scale. The majority of interventions were set within-ED (n=5), including three clinical pathways/management guidelines and two within-ED observation units. Post-ED interventions (n=2) included patient education and general practitioner referral. Four studies reported a decreased overall hospital length of stay (LoS) for AFF patients undergoing TiC interventions compared to control, ranging from 26.4 to 53 hours; however, incomplete and non-standardized outcome reporting precluded meta-analysis. An increase in conversion to normal sinus rhythm among TiC intervention patients was noted, which may be related to increased utilization of electrical cardioversion among the RCTs (RR=2.16; 95% CI: 1.42, 3.30; I2=%), B/A studies (RR=2.69, 95% CI: 2.17, 3.33), and cohort study (RR=1.39; 95% CI: 1.24, 1.56). Conclusion: Conclusions: Within-ED TiC interventions may reduce hospital LoS and increase use of electrical cardioversion. However, no clear recommendations to implement such interventions in EDs can be generated from this systematic review and more efforts are required to improve TiC for patients with AFF.

As BlackBerry Ltd. reaffirms its focus on its software business despite declining revenue in its third-quarter results Wednesday, the company's chief executive is starting to cast a closer look at acquisitions in the coming year to help further bolster its growth.
BlackBerry Chief Executive John Chen said in an interview that some of the company's $2.5 billion in cash reserves would be used toward M&A to help drive organic growth. He added the company is looking to spend at least $500 million to buy companies that would "move the needle" and help continue to meet its growth trajectory which has seen its software business advance at a pace of 10% to 15% a year.
On Wednesday. the Canadian company BB, +0.00% said it had achieved record software and services revenue and gross margins, as the transformation from a phone maker into a software seller continues. Read more about BlackBerry's fiscal third-quarter results.
Software management that leverages BlackBerry's cybersecurity expertise currently provides much of the company's revenue. Revenue in the company's enterprise software and services unit rose 11% to $97 million. The company's gross margin rose to 74.3% from 66.8%.

Do We Have Only a Finite Number of Breaths or Heartbeats?
The rate of living theory of aging states that people (and other living organisms) have a finite number of breaths, heartbeats, or other measures, and that they will die once they've used those up.
But don't try to live longer by slowing your metabolism just yet: while the theory is helpful to explain some aspects of aging, it doesn't really hold up under modern scientific scrutiny.
The rate of living theory of aging may be one of the oldest theories that attempts to describe why organisms (including humans) actually age.
In ancient times, people believed that just as a machine will begin to deteriorate after a certain number of uses, the human body deteriorates in direct proportion to its use. The modern version of this theory recognizes that the number of heartbeats does not predict lifespan. Instead, researchers have focused on the speed at which an organism processes oxygen.
There is some evidence, when comparing species, that creatures with faster oxygen metabolisms die younger. For example, tiny mammals with rapid heartbeats metabolize oxygen quickly and have short lifespans, while tortoises, on the other hand, metabolize oxygen very slowly and have long lifespans.
For example, in one study, researchers looked at genetically engineered mice that had a defect in the hypothalamus. The defect caused the mice to overexert, which in theory would "use up" their lifespans faster.
Because the hypothalamus in mice is near the temperature control center, the brains in these mice thought their bodies were overheating, and so they lowered the mice's core temperatures. The results did show that a drop of .6 degrees Celsius extended the life of the mice by 12 to 20 percent, so the mice did live longer with lower body temperatures.
The problem is, we don't know why they lived longer. The lower temperature may have slowed the rate of oxygen metabolism, but it may also have changed a number of other systems and processes in the body.
So we don't know why the mice lived longer, only that they did, and that's not proof of the rate of living theory of aging.
In fact, there is little evidence that oxygen metabolism, heartbeat, or the number of breaths determine an individual's lifespan.
The theory seems to hold up when smaller species with faster metabolisms (i.e., mice) are compared with larger species with slower metabolisms (i.e., tortoises). However, the theory can only partially explain the differences in life span between species, and it cannot explain the most important factor: what determines lifespan within species.
For example, if a person lives 100 years, they will have taken far more breaths, metabolized more oxygen and experienced more heartbeats than someone who only lives until 80. What we want to know, from a longevity perspective, is what determines which individuals within a species live the longest.
So don't go into hibernation just yet. There really isn't data that slowing the metabolism extends human life. In fact, a slower metabolism would put someone at risk for obesity and other nutritional-related illnesses, so your best bet is still a healthy lifestyle with plenty of exercise, a diet with lots of plants, and a positive, relaxed attitude.

JLF 2023: Tibet is critical component for any settlement of India-China border issue
Kavita Pant
General JJ Singh, Shyam Saran and Tansen Sen during JLF.
It is no longer the old India, stressed General JJ Singh, former Chief of the Army Staff
The ever-volatile India-China relations were the topic of discussion during the early morning session on Day 3 of the Jaipur Literature Festival on Saturday. General JJ Singh, former Chief of the Army Staff, Shyam Saran, former Foreign Secretary of India and Tansen Sen, Professor of history were in conversation with William Dalrymple founder and co-director of the Jaipur Literature Festival.
The session titled, 'The elephant and the dragon: A connected history' threw light on the relations between the two neighbours who have, for centuries been the two greatest economic powers of the world.
Saran began his argument by saying, "In the 21st century, the joint superpower status of the two neighbours is likely to return. However, their histories and civilisations have traditionally been closely intertwined. Today, they are almost strangers to each other, and their relations are bejewelled by misunderstandings and military tensions at the border."
If we are looking at any future settlement of the Border issue with China, Tibet will be a critical component of any such understanding between the two countries, Saran argued.
He opined, "India got Independence in 1947 and China got liberation in 1949, but for China, it was very difficult to understand how India was Independent despite not throwing out the British legacy. It was beyond their understanding as to how the colonial mentality lingered on in India and the British continued to be in the Indian army and civil services even after Independence."
Saran said, there were two strands of thinking among the Chinese, first, they thought that China should not become like India.
"The second thought was that both countries were facing the same colonial dominance. There was a certain empathy between both countries. The prevailing sentiment among Chinese revolutionary leaders was a negative one," he stated.
He also spoke about the love song about River Ganges which was popular in China. He said China felt threatened by what was happening in Tibet. They knew the US will not interfere with the issue.
On this issue, General Singh said the government was naive back then. "To understand the neighbours one must know the geography and history of the area. Tibet was always our neighbour while China was never our neighbour," General Singh argued.
He further talked about the Indian Army and said it is dominant and very powerful when it comes to defending our borders today. It is not 1962 anymore, General Singh stressed, adding, "China knows that India is stronger than ever before and it is not 1962 and Indian troops are capable to give the Chinese a bloody nose. It is no longer the old India and the Indian man today is holding a gun and pointing at them. Our soldiers are tougher."
General Singh also talked about Galwan and how China is no match for India in terms of military prowess.
At the session, Tansen Sen talked about Indo-China relations for centuries and how they have turned out today.

The BCIT Marketing and Communications Department began in 1974 in conjunction with BCIT's first year as an autonomous entity under a Board of Governors rather than under the direct control of the British Columbia Department of Education. BCIT Principal Gordon A. Thom created three new Executive Directorships in this year: Technology and Education; Administration; and Personnel, Information Services and Student Services. The Marketing and Communications Department started as an area of service provided under the Executive Director, Personnel, Student Services and Information Services. It was known as Information Services although the term "communications" was used to describe its duties and responsibilities. The first Director of Information Services was recruited in 1975 and was responsible for information dissemination among BCIT staff, students, faculty and the public. Ensuring relevant parties were aware of decisions and developments at BCIT and providing a mechanism for feedback. In 1975 the Director of Information Services began work on an information policy for BCIT and revived the newsletter "Developments" which enhanced internal BCIT communications.
In 1977 Information Services was moved under the Human Resources Division. During this time Information Services continued its broad-based program of internal and external communications. The department served as liaison between federal and provincial governments on the residence project, participated in presentations on Bill 82, and began work on revitalizing the Alumni Association.
In 1979 Information Services, still under Vice President Human Resources, underwent a name change and was known as the Public Relations department.
After the merger with the Pacific Vocational Institute in 1985 the department was again moved and given a name change. Now known as Community Relations, the Director of Community Relations/Development reported to the Vice President of Student Services and Educational Support.

Dudley is one of fourteen vanguard sites nationally developing the Multispecialty Community Provider (MCP) care model. The MCP involves the implementation of new organisational relationships that are intended to result in new system dynamics, incentivising the actions that can improve population health over the long term. The patient is at the centre of the MCP model of care. The MCP will bring together the services of GP practices, nurses, community health and mental health services, community-based services such as physiotherapy, relevant hospital specialists and others to provide joined up care in the community, improving outcomes and reducing demand.
All this takes place in an uncertain context: the challenges facing NHS systems are headline news; NHS structures are frequently the subject of organisational change and new policy directives; funding allocations are determined on a relatively short term basis; and the impacts of the wider environment on the NHS and local health and care systems cannot be accurately predicted (e.g. how patterns of trade, competition and migration may change; what technological advances will be made and how the public will respond to them; how the supply and culture of the workforce will evolve).
The Strategy Unit has been a strategic partner providing specialist support to the development and evaluation of the MCP, and the MCP Programme Board asked us to assist local stakeholders in exploring a range of plausible futures that could evolve over the intended fifteen year duration of the MCP contract. The aim of this work was not to predict the future but, through exploring a diverse set of plausible futures, to generate practical responses that would increase the effectiveness, resilience and agility of local plans, as well as providing additional assurance to regulators.
Thank you so much to the team for this highly developed piece of innovative work.
The scenario my group worked on was very different to how I anticipate the future, so the challenge was very helpful.
The fact that there were very different perspectives in the group really helped challenge my thinking.
Well written narratives with surprising but plausible futures.
A fantastic piece of work that has taken us truly to a different place!
