Family of Immokalee man killed by deputies calls for transparent investigation
by Kyra Shportun
11:30 AM EDT, Thu October 29, 2020
COLLIER COUNTY, Fla. – The family of an Immokalee man who was shot and killed by deputies is calling for transparency from the Collier County Sheriff's Office in their investigation.
Nicolas Morales-Bessannia, 37, was shot and killed on Thursday, Sept. 17, after deputies claimed he was threatening them with a shovel and landscaping shears.
During the incident, the sheriff's office said Morales-Bessannia charged toward deputies, causing one of them to shoot Morales-Bessannia.
Now, Morales-Bessannia's family is holding a press conference to demand the sheriff's office release his autopsy report, any dashboard camera footage of the incident, and transcript of any communications among the three deputies involved.
The press conference will be held at Unitarian Universalist Congregation of Greater Naples at 11 a.m. The family will be joined by faith leaders and Collier-County based organizations to call for a full and fair investigation into Morales-Bessannia's death.

Q: javax.mail: "Connection refused" to smtp.gmail.com I have a webapp that logs fatal errors (due to bugs in the code, basically) and also reports them via email to a gmail account using smtp.gmail.com:465. This has worked fine for years, and the system is stable so it's a while since I last had a fatal error (Oct 2017). However, the other day I did something stupid while testing a bugfix and it caused a fatal error report. The email wasn't sent and I got this:
javax.mail.MessagingException: Could not connect to SMTP host: smtp.gmail.com, port: 465;
  nested exception is:
    java.net.ConnectException: Connection refused: connect

I can connect via telnet:
$ telnet smtp.gmail.com 465
Trying 74.125.133.109...
Connected to gmail-smtp-msa.l.google.com.
Escape character is '^]'.

I'm assuming it's something to do with Gmail's security which means that you have to do some sort of special configuration if you want to use Thunderbird or something instead of Gmail's dreadful web interface. Can anyone tell me what I should do to get this working?

A: It turns out it was Gmail being cute. The underlying error was an "authentication refused", but it was being wrapped in a "connection refused" exception elsewhere. I finally figured out how to tell Gmail to allow access from an insecure app, and that solved it.

Great, informative course! Excellent faculty, meaningful assignments, flexible timing.
What a wonderful experience ... took a lot of time to coordinate the teams from project lens but overall i find it SO GREAT HIGHLY recommend!
I really learned a lot through this course, working with different people also allowed me to learn more and more. One thing that I wish and thought I would do is the "designing" but it really did not but this still remains worth my time.
Overall it's an excellent specialisation, it has good materials and videos.
I enjoyed all courses, although some of the videos felt a bit slow and in my opinion could be improved by being more dynamic, using more examples and images. The way assignments are reviewed could also be improved, maybe having a more thorough process, but in general it's a good system.
The capstone gives students the opportunity to work on a team-based project collaborating via Slack.
Completing this specialisation (together with the Graphic Design and Interaction Design Specialisations) helped me to land my first job as a UX Designer!
Great course and great professors!
Awful, unorganized, and unattended. No accountability from the teaching assistants - questions never answered. Team members left the group and we weren't notified. Communication challenges between team members are not addressed - meaning we are teamed up with people who don't have access to Google or other products. That's never considered. If I had known any of this going in, I would have not taken this capstone. I'm taking the Interaction specialization and will just do their capstone to include in my portfolio. Awful.
good project, excellent methodology. recommended for everyone that want to expand his UI UX knowledge.
Extremely useful and fun! Great experience.
One of the best course of UI and UX!


Parents and families in Sheffield are benefitting from discounted MOTs and servicing thanks to the latest Yes initiative. Our team developed a family-friendly promotion designed to raise awareness of Halfords Autocentre and drive new business from mums and dads who are looking for great service and value for money from a local garage.
In targeting parents, we worked with local pre-school childcare providers to encourage them to distribute promotional leaflets directly to parents. And as we believe in practising what we preach, we've been on the ground ourselves sporting our Halfords Autocentre polo shirts and joining the distribution teams handing out leaflets to families at shopping centres local to each of the Autocentres.
The good news is that this community based approach is already driving new customers into Halfords Autocentres and keeping Sheffield's families on the road. And with circa 260 Halfords Autocentres nationwide, we're sure that our parent promotion will be coming to a location close to you soon…which probably means that we'll be there too!

2020: EU solidarity tested in face of Covid-19 pandemic
'This is a permanent battle,' warned Charles Michel, president of the European Council - adding the pandemic has revealed the need to increase the role of the EU in healthcare (Photo: European Union)
By Elena Sánchez Nicolás
Brussels, 4. Jan 2021, 07:03
Since Covid-19 was first recorded late in 2019 in China, the virus has quickly spread around the world - upending everyday life and testing the world's response in a global crisis.
The pandemic rapidly revealed that the EU and its member states were not prepared for a medical and humanitarian crisis of such dimensions.
When decisive and coordinated action from EU institutions and member states was most needed to respond to the first outbreaks, particularly the one in Italy, the bloc struggled to create a common and timely response to the pandemic.
This is partly explained by the fact that, under its treaties, the EU still has no direct or shared competencies in the area of health.
As a result, some member states introduced unilateral measures, such as export bans on some medical supplies or the closure of borders - revealing a glaring lack of European solidarity during the first months of the pandemic.
"EU leaders took some decisions that were not really in line with the European perspective," the president of the European Council, Charles Michel, told EUobserver, referring to the export bans of certain medical gear seen in Germany, France, and the Czech Republic back in March.
"At the beginning, some countries thought that it was possible to win the battle against the virus at the national level. But in only a few days, they all understood that this was not the right approach and more cooperation was needed," Michel added.
In a quick U-turn after these dark early days, EU countries started sharing medical equipment and doctors with other member states, jointly repatriating EU citizens from third countries and assisting neighbouring countries financially.
Without (yet) a safe and efficient Covid-19 vaccine, member states have been following two main strategies to fight the virus: imposing very restrictive measures (with massive socio-economic effects), such as lockdowns, and trying to keep the virus under control by testing, tracing and isolating.
"This is a permanent battle," Michel said, adding that the pandemic has revealed a need to increase the responsibilities of the EU in the healthcare sector.
"Now, there is more political will to work towards the European level [in the healthcare sector] - but aiming to have one European model for health systems is not realistic," he added.
While the global understanding about this new respiratory disease has steadily increased since the first outbreaks, how effectively Europe is responding to the current much-feared second wave of Covid-19 remains unclear - especially amid fears over 'vaccine nationalism', or the seizing of the first batches of doses by richer states that can pay the most or the quickest.
Meanwhile, the burden on healthcare systems all across the bloc, as a result of the surge in coronavirus infections, has triggered new nationwide lockdowns and restrictive measures in nearly all EU member states.
However, the second wave has also brought fresh hopes for an effective vaccine.
"Next year, we will probably have a vaccine, or several vaccines, for Covid-19, but it is quite certain that vaccination will take time, so now the priority is to make more progress in testing, tracing, and isolation while improving cross-border cooperation," said Michel.
The European Commission, on behalf of member states, has signed deals with companies such as Pfizer-BioNTech, AstraZeneca, Sanofi-GSK and Johnson & Johnson for their potential Covid-19 vaccines, while also negotiating with other pharmaceutical firms.
But EU leaders still have to agree on common criteria for the deployment of the vaccines (when a safe and effective shot is available), to ensure a fair distribution of vaccines both within the EU and beyond.
"This is an issue of concern. We need to work on this strategy in order to avoid a political battle in the next months that will make Europe look ridiculous," Michel warned.
There is an opportunity to make Europe stronger, "if we find the way to tackle the question of vaccines together," the Belgian politician added.
"Nevertheless, it is clear that even if we solve the problem of Covid-19 in some countries in the world, it will never be solved until we make sure that all over the world we can keep the virus under control," he made clear.
The pandemic, meanwhile, has also increased ongoing tensions between China and the US, resulting in a new geopolitical environment in which the role of the EU is still to be finally determined.
However, for the European Council president, the EU now has the opportunity to develop a so-called "strategic autonomy," transforming the bloc's economic and social model to make Europe "less dependent [on third countries] and more influential" in the global context.
"We want an open economy with international exchanges, but we need to rebalance the international relationships taking into consideration more fairness, and [a] level playing field," he added.
In its history, the EU has survived many crises and, undoubtedly, it will also survive the negative socio-economic consequences of Covid-19.
However, a key question remains: will the EU be able to establish timely 'solidarity' responses to future crises, in the face of such large-scale disruptions to life and economies?

Experts are now warning of the "very serious" surge in Covid-19 cases in Europe - where new weekly cases exceede those reported in March. The worst-hit countries are Spain and France - while Italy is resisting the much-feared second wave.
EU countries agree on the need to better coordinate their Covid-19 measures, but the issue remains highly sensitive as health competencies belong to member states.
13. Oct 2020, 07:12
EU countries are set to adopt a 'traffic-light' colour-coding system for coronavirus-affected areas. But member states will have the possibility to set their own strategies, on negative Covid-19 tests or different quarantine periods, for orange and red zones.
EU regions were unevenly hit by the coronavirus pandemic, according to a new report. The most economically hard-hit regions were those under strict lockdown measures for the longest - not necessarily those with the highest death-rates or most cases detected.
The EU has demanded China cooperate with the international community to understand better the pandemic, after Chinese officials blocked the arrival of a group of World Health Organization (WHO) researchers investigating the origins of Covid-19 in Wuhan.
The European Medicines Agency has authorised the use of the Covid-19 vaccine developed by US company Moderna - while the EU is involved in a blame-game over a sluggish vaccine rollout across member states.

AP Breakthrough Entertainer: Daryl McCormack's grand year
by: HILARY FOX, Associated Press
LONDON (AP) — Daryl McCormack is the zen master.
It's not a new acting role or a level of spiritual enlightenment, it's a nickname he got on set for being extremely laidback.
The Irish actor is having a busy and rewarding year with ensemble appearances on TV in brutal period drama "Peaky Blinders" and dark comedy thriller "Bad Sisters," plus a star-making performance as the title character in the film "Good Luck to You, Leo Grande."
McCormack portrays a sex worker hired by Emma Thompson's frustrated widow character and the movie got them a best joint lead performance nomination at the British Independent Film Awards. This led to his first ceremony experience. He took his mom.
"I've never had awards season, so I'm just taking it as it comes, you know. This film was so small, and it's received so much love. So for us to make it this far, to had such recognition and for there still to be a lot of love for the film is really, really lovely."
"As far as personally, I'm just kind of taking it all in my stride and and enjoying the moment," he said, smiling.
Among the honors McCormack has received during a standout career year is being named one of The Associated Press' Breakthrough Entertainers of 2022, alongside stars including Iman Vellani, Tobe Nwigwe and Simone Ashley.
McCormack is on a short break from shooting BBC-Showtime series "The Woman in the Wall," a gothic thriller that involves the Magdalene Laundries — church run institutions in Ireland for unmarried women and their children, which has been investigated for allegations of physical and sexual abuse.
Ruth Wilson's character Lorna Brady had been placed in a laundry and wakes years later to find a dead body in her house. McCormack portrays Detective Colman Akande, the policeman on her trail.
McCormack calls it an "important" story that has been "intense, good and rewarding" to film.
Not that he minds hard work.
"I always like to pick projects that I believe in the message behind. In a way, if the work is tiring, it feels rewarding because you know that you're doing something you care about. So you're willing to go through any sense of tiredness or exhaustion because you're wanting to do the story proud."
And to relax, he has his weekend off to see friends and family.
This is McCormack's support network, the people he turns to on the rare occasion that roles don't go his way. That's something that was more common when he was first out of drama school, though he's worked pretty consistently since 2018.
"I've had rejection for sure" admits McCormack. "I wish I came out unscathed, but no."
"There's not many people in my family that are in the arts. So when I first was kind of going through things and jobs not coming my way or not getting past an audition, I had to kind of explain to them that this is just part of the journey really, it is part of the process. But once they understood that, then they were like, 'OK, he's fine.'"
He's also started to get recognized more, which he reckons is "grand."
"They all want selfies or, you know, they say, oh, you know, 'My girlfriend loves the show. She won't believe me if we don't.' So you just take a photo and it's nice. It's really fun."
McCormack also gets Googled with people looking up his eye color (green), his background (bi-racial) or who he played in "Peaky Blinders" (Isaiah Jesus).
It's something else he shrugs away.
"It's kind of a natural part of the job. They're curious to know who you are and where you're from and all that stuff."
Next he'd like to play an American character and could be filming in the U.S. next year — he's confident his accent skills are up to the task.
And McCormack would also like the pressure that comes with playing a historical figure.
"There's a certain level of responsibility and you know, usually with those projects, if they've passed, some of their loved ones might be still around. And there's just an element where that to me is like an amazing opportunity to storytell. And I would love to kind of welcome that pressure and have an honor to actually tell someone's true story."
As ever, he remains zen about whatever is to come.
"There's no other option. You know, I'm very content and feel very grateful and yeah, I'm very, very happy to see where it all continues to go."

El Savoy-Plaza Hotel era un hotel de 33 pisos con vista a Central Park en la Quinta Avenida y la calle 59 Este en Midtown Manhattan, Nueva York (Estados Unidos). Se inauguró en 1927 y fue demolido en 1965.

Historia

Hotel Savoy Original
El Savoy Hotel original en la Quinta Avenida y la calle 59 abrió sus puertas en junio de 1892, más o menos en respuesta al vecino Plaza Hotel abierto en 1890. El Savoy original de 12 pisos fue diseñado por el arquitecto Ralph S. Townsend, para propietarios como el juez de la Corte Suprema de Nueva York P. Henry Dugro. El antiguo Savoy siguió compitiendo con el Plaza en un entorno lujoso y ampliaciones hasta la década de 1920. Su mobiliario fue liquidado en 1925.

Hotel Savoy-Plaza
Harry S. Black, propietario del Plaza, compró el Hotel Savoy, consolidó el bloque y lo demolió para encargar a los arquitectos del Plaza un nuevo compañero del antiguo establecimiento. El edificio de 33 pisos y  rascacielos Savoy-Plaza Hotel fue diseñado por McKim, Mead & White, construido a un costo de 30 millones de dólares, e inaugurado el 1 de octubre de 1927.

Hilton Hotels adquirió el hotel en enero de 1957 a través de un intercambio de acciones con Savoy-Plaza, Inc. Hilton abrió un Trader Vic's dentro del hotel el 14 de abril de 1958, en un espacio que antes ocupaba el Red Coach Inn. El 31 de diciembre de 1958, se hizo efectiva la fusión total de Savoy-Plaza, Inc. y Hilton Hotels Corporation, y el hotel pasó a llamarse Savoy Hilton. Hilton vendió el hotel a Webb & Knapp, Inc. en mayo de 1962 por 25 millones de dólares.  Ese noviembre, Webb & Knapp revendió una participación de dos tercios a British Commercial Property Investments y una participación de un tercio a London Merchant Securities. Hilton y los propietarios del hotel acordaron poner fin a la gestión del hotel por parte de la cadena en 1964, aunque el contrato continuó hasta 1967. Western International Hotels asumió la administración el 2 de junio de 1964, y cambió el nombre de la propiedad a The Savoy Plaza, sin el guion original.

Los propietarios anunciaron planes para la demolición del hotel el 21 de agosto de 1964, lo que provocó protestas y protestas públicas significativas. El 16 de diciembre de 1964, los propietarios anunciaron que el hotel sería reemplazado por una torre de oficinas de 48 pisos, diseñada por Edward Durell Stone para albergar la sede este de General Motors. El hotel permaneció abierto durante la Feria Mundial de Nueva York de 1964 y finalmente cerró en octubre de 1965. Fue demolido a finales de 1965 y principios de 1966 y reemplazado por el Edificio General Motors, terminado en 1968.

In my last post I discussed the process by which employee engagement increases and decreases and therefore what are the most effective interventions leaders can use to make a long-term difference. In this post I explore the related question – what do we need to change?
As People Analysts OrganizationView have conducted a lot of surveys over the last 6 years. One thing we've come to appreciate is how important employees' open text comments are to driving action from management. The issue has usually been how to deal with tens of thousands of comments, provided in multiple languages. This was one of the driving forces behind our decision to develop Workometry, our employee feedback platform.
Before the advent of reliable text analytics, analysing these comments at scale was time and cost prohibitive. Much of the way employee surveys have developed is because of this constraint. However, just in the same way that statistics has changed by the availability of large, easily available computing power and cheaper acquisition costs for data we predict that understanding employees will change by the availability of text analytics.
With text there are two main tasks that we want to do: we want to categorise the text into one or more topics and we might want to score the text on some sort of scale, for example a level of sentiment.
When categorising we want to go further than just words. We look at two dimensions – the topic (eg 'career development') and the context (eg 'shortage'). This has to be more than just keyword as we'll want to link together the multiple synonyms – it's the meaning not the words that they've chosen which is important.
Doing this is adding metadata to our text. We can then apply various statistical techniques to the metadata. Typically we're identifying in the region of 40 – 60 different topics for any text question. We can think of this as equivalent to adding another 40–60 scale questions to a survey. Therefore we can ask the short surveys that are needed to maintain response rates when you're doing them frequently whilst capturing very rich data. We use an unsupervised learning approach meaning that the topics are suggested by the data, not precoded based on generic results.
One of the reasons that we do analysis is to draw attention to the parts of the information that managers need to focus on. We're currently doing that by combining two techniques.
One of the joys of working with Employee data is that we often have extensive records about the employee – who they are, what role they're doing, who they work with, how they've performed and the key events (job changes, pay rises etc). Linking this data to the perception data lets us provide much greater insight than if we just analyse the much smaller survey data on its own.
With Workometry we use probabilitic models to identify which groups are most likely to discuss a certain topic. We can incorporate information from HR systems, business systems and even other survey answers provided at a different time – for example looking at their perceptions to their onboarding process.
The results from these models can then be used within interactive visualisations to guide the user to the most interesting groups / results. The interactivity lets the user drill down into the data in new ways, guided by the models and ultimately lets them see the underlying text comments.
One very simple, but from our experience very powerful, way of looking at text data is to identify which topics are most likely to be discussed by engaged / disengaged employees. We see clear patterns that demands for work become far more transactional as a result of people moving from engaged to disengaged. This fits with information we get from exit interviews. We can think of a two stage process – first they become disengaged & then some leave. This supports the systems dynamics model I discussed in the last post.
Finally, what we've learnt from looking at vast quantities of text in this manner is that in a survey information in text comments seem to change much more quickly than scale-type questions. For one client we saw a jump in comments about technology 3 months before we saw changes in a related scale question. This ability to provide information to enable managers to fix issues whilst they're still emerging should be seen as a key benefit of collecting and analysing text.

We want people to have a laugh with Pagalpanti: John Abraham
Michael Gomes
John Abraham, Arshad Warsi and Pulkit Samrat frozen in a funny moment in Pagalpanti
City Times caught up with Pagalpanti star John Abraham ahead of it's UAE release this weekend
Of late, there's been a surge in demand for comedies in Bollywood. Following on from Akshay Kumar's Diwali laugh riot Housefull 4 that featured an ensemble cast, comes another madcap comedy that brings together a stellar line up of actors including John Abraham, Anil Kapoor, Ileana D'Cruz, Arshad Warsi, Pulkit Samrat, Kriti Kharbanda, Urvashi Rautela and Saurabh Shukla.
Directed by Anees Bazmee, who has made hit comedies like No Entry, Welcome and Singh is Kinng, Pagalpanti promises to provide wholesome fun for the family. It is devoid of the usual trappings of Bollywood comedies like double meaning dialogues, over-the-top adult content or vulgarity. "You could safely watch Pagalpanti with your parents, grandparents, children or grandchildren. You're sure to go home happy after watching the film," John Abraham told City Times ahead of the movie's release in the UAE this weekend.
The story revolves around a man who is going through a spell of bad luck, and it engulfs everyone around him, creating a hilarious turn of events leading to chaos, destruction and utter craziness. John plays Raj Kishore, a confident man going through a bad phase in life. Ileana D'Cruz plays his love, Sanjana, who is also suffering professionally because of Raj's bad luck. Add to the mix a gang of misfits and what you have is a crazy comedy packed with hilarious misadventures. And if you are planning on going to see the film in the theatre, you should take heed of the warning in the Pagalpanti trailer, 'Don't use your brains (when watching the movie) because these guys have none'. We speak to lead stars John and Ileana to know more about their crazy adventures.
John, what can you tell us about your role in Pagalpanti?
More than my part in the movie, I think people should watch this film because these days, we rarely make movies that cater to a larger section of the audience, content that can be watched by people from the ages of 6-90. In the case of Pagalpanti, you could watch it with your parents, grandparents, children or grandchildren. It's a positive movie with a message about happiness. There's no bloodshed, no double meaning dialogues or adult comedy content in the film, even the villains are so cute. We want people to watch Pagalpanti, have a great laugh and go home happy.
Have you had any Pagalpanti (crazy) moments in your life?
I am sure we've all had crazy moments in our lives. I can't put a finger on one specific incident, but yes, I did have some crazy moments, some of them I can't even mention.
You've been working on serious movies like Parmanu and Batla House, and your last comedy was Welcome Back in 2105, how was it switching back to comedy?
Honestly, it was very difficult. When I started Pagalpanti, I had just finished Batla House and for the first two days (of filming), I didn't know what hit me. It took some time to settle in because I was doing an ensemble film after a long time. Moreover, being the lead actor, I had to ensure that my co-stars felt comfortable. So it took me a few days to adjust and then it was easy going.
Do you require more effort to do comedy or intense roles?
I think comedy is the toughest genre to perform or to direct, though we make it look fun and easy for the audience. A lot of effort and hard work goes into the making of a comedy. Because if the dialogues come right and the lines don't come on time, no one is going to laugh at the jokes, and that's the worst thing that can happen in a comedy. We left it to Anees Bazmee to bring out the best in us. He has so many years of experience (directing comedies) and he is also a gifted writer. Anees has got his heart in the right place and the beauty of his writing is that he makes films for families.
Your first film as a producer was Vicky Donor, and you also took a big chance signing on Ayushmann Khurrana to play the lead, what do you have to say about his phenomenal rise to fame?
I am so proud of Ayushmann. When I see him, I see my own success in him. I'm very happy for him. A lot of people credit Ayushmann for selecting the right kind of scripts. I too believe that it's the kind of scripts he chose that has made him (successful) today. When you want to see a film with diverse content you think of Ayushmann. He is a thorough professional and talented boy and I'm really proud of him. He deserves every bit of success. He doesn't allow fame to get in the way of his work, he just puts his head down and works with dedication. All power to Auyushmann!
Producing movies vis-a-vis acting, what gives you more satisfaction?
I like both. I found it very gratifying producing movies like Vicky Donor, Madras Café and Batla House. I am also very satisfied as an actor because I have been able to push my own boundaries as an artiste. I think both are satisfying in their own place and it's great to do both and create two different worlds.
How did you gel with others on the Pagalpanti set?
Though I gelled well with everyone, there was a certain comfort level that I shared with Anil Kapoor because we have done so much of work together that we were literally on autopilot. I have done two films with Arshad (Warsi) and I was happy to work with him again. He is such a talented actor. Similarly, it was a delight to work with Ileana D'Cruz and the other actors. Since Pagalpanti is based on happiness and positivity there was no negativity on the sets and that reflects in the movie as well.
Who is your favourite 'crazy' star in Bollywood?
I think someone who has mastered the art of being crazy undoubtedly is Akshay Kumar. He's an all-rounder. I have worked with him in comedies like Garam Masala, Desi Boy and Housefull 2, and we had fun in those movies. I am very close to him and speak to him often. We are exploring the possibilities of working together in a film again soon.
And which is your all-time favourite Bollywood comedy?
It's the iconic film Jaane Bhi Do Yaaron which had a stellar cast including Naseeruddin Shah, Satish Shah, Om Puri, Pankaj Kapur, Satish Kaushik and Neena Gupta. A rare movie.
Audiences' viewing preferences have changed over the years, if you were to do a Jaane Bhi Do Yaaron reboot, do you think it would work?
I am guilty of working in films that have featured remixes. Honestly, I'm tired of them. There are certain classics that can't be remade, and Jaane Bhi Do Yaaron is one of them. I can understand if we are reinterpreting a classic from another language because we want a wider audience to see it, that's justifiable. But trying to remake a classic in the same language, I can't ever think of doing something like that, it would need a lot of thought.
You're working on a few web series, is that right?
I am working on two web series, but it is in the developing stage. It's an elephant task to work on the digital platform. All I can say is we have acquired the rights of the two best-selling book, it is an interesting book. I can't reveal the names right now but will surely be able to disclose more about it later.

The Wilderness Medical Society was created on 15 February 1983 by three physicians from California, United States — Dr. Paul Auerbach, Dr. Ed Geehr, and Dr. Ken Kizer. It is the largest international non-profit membership organization devoted to addressing wilderness medicine challenges, more specifically defined as "medical care delivered in those areas where fixed or transient geographic challenges reduce availability of, or alter requirements for, medical or patient movement resources". It also publishes Wilderness & Environmental Medicine Journal, Wilderness Medicine Magazine, and Wilderness Medicine Clinical Practice Guidelines.

Academy of Wilderness Medicine

The academy seeks to provide a system of adult education and certification in a modern and standardised way to provide a set level of knowledge and education for practitioners working in the wilderness arena.

The goals of the academy are to:
 Professional designation for achievement in Wilderness Medicine
 Validation for the public, patients, and clients of practitioner education in  Wilderness Medicine
 Recognition for completing high quality standards in Wilderness Medicine
 Continuing medical education (CME) credit for acquisition of knowledge and hands-on experiences in Wilderness Medicine
 The advancement of an internationally recognized curriculum of Wilderness Medicine categories, topics, and skills

The Academy also maintains the curriculum for the Fellowship award. This curriculum is completed over a maximum of a 5-year period and culminates in the award of Fellow being bestowed at the Society's annual conference. The award of the Fellowship allows the holder to use the post-nominal letters FAWM (Fellow of the Academy of Wilderness Medicine), as of early 2020 there were just over 600 current Fellows. The Academy also manages a "Master's Degree Fellow Program", which bestows a Master Fellow designation, allowing the holder to use the post-nominal letters MFAWM (Master Fellow of the Academy of Wilderness Medicine). The Master Fellow degree program is an advanced, post-fellow certification that was created to denote individuals who have excelled in a specific sub-discipline within the scope of wilderness medicine in addition to being Fellows of the Academy of Wilderness Medicine. The Master program is an attempt to:
 Further the academic programs of the WMS.
 Allow additional academic enrichment opportunities for WMS members.
 Create a group of experts in specific sub-disciplines for utilization in teaching, lecturing and research development.
 Create a cadre of ever-evolving leaders for the WMS to utilize.

FAWM curriculum

The curriculum for participants wishing to gain fellowship is modular and is divided into Electives, Required Topics and Experience:

Required/Core Topics are divided into twelve sub-headings:

Tour of the Holy Grail and religious art (Every Friday at 10am)
A tour through the history of religious art in Valencia, which also brings us closer to the fascinating history of the Holy Grail.
Next dates:
Every Friday at 10h, with the exception of 19th April, 1st November and 6th December 2019.
You can also book your private tour for any other day.
The artistic heritage of Valencia is strongly marked by the Christian presence in the city from the 13th century and the result of this are the extraordinary religious buildings that dot the streets of the historic center.
Most of these temples have their origins in medieval times but many were later transformed into magnificently decorated Baroque temples. The most significant example is that of the Church of San Nicolás, known as the "Valencian Sistine Chapel", whose frescoes can now be enjoyed in their maximum splendor thanks to the recent restoration.
The Cathedral or Seu, consecrated in 1238 by the first bishop of Valencia, is the seat of the Archdiocese and the most important temple of the city. Although the main structure is of Valencian Gothic style, it also presents Romanesque, Renaissance, Baroque and Neoclassical elements.
Since the 15th century, the Cathedral of Valencia has preserved the Holy Chalice of the Last Supper, the only relic that the Holy See has designated as the authentic one. As a result of this recognition, a Jubilee Year is celebrated in Valencia every 5 years since 2015. At its chapel we will unveil all details about the history of the Holy Grail.
The "Tour of the Holy Grail and religious art", organized with Valencia Tourism Foundation, is a guided tour that includes both San Nicolás and the Cathedral, as well as another gem of Valencian ecclesiastical architecture. Lesser known than the other two, San Juan del Hospital is the oldest church in the city, a Gothic temple that takes us back to medieval times.
Tickets for these three monuments (San Juan del Hospital, Cathedral and San Nicolás) are included in the price.
Although our regular tour sticks to these three temples, Valencia's religious art can also be enjoyed at many other spots that are well worth a visit. We are talking about the Church of Santa Catalina with its magnificent Baroque tower, the Basilica of our Lady of the Forsaken, the Museum of the Patriarch, the Museum of Fine Arts, the Church of San Martín… Do not hesitate to contact Turiart if you wish to delve into Valencian religious art treasures with a private tour.

Lessons from Mars for Heriot-Watt students
Published: 10 Feb 2022

What business management lessons can be learnt from landing on Mars? The answer….a lot!
Students at Heriot-Watt University recently welcomed a senior figure from NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory who discussed the importance of teamwork in overcoming challenges.
For 30 years, Jennifer Trosper has had a critical role as part of NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory. From Sojourner to Perseverance, Jennifer has worked on every rover that has ever driven on the Martian surface and has encountered more than her fair share of mission problems along the way. But it has been working in these highly pressurised situations where billions of dollars is at stake that Jennifer and her team excel.
The ability to think clearly and objectively when problems arise is what Jennifer does best, and understanding how a team pulls together to reach the next objective is a valuable lesson that can be applied closer to home.
Jennifer is Project Manager for NASA's current Mars mission, the Perseverance rover. She was invited by Dr David Steinberg, Director of the Edinburgh Business School's Graduate Apprenticeship Programmes, to talk about her experience to a group of Graduate Apprenticeship (GA) students and external organisations involved in the GA programme, as well as members belonging to the Heriot-Watt Women in Stem and Women in Engineering societies.
In the one hour online talk, Jennifer delivered a masterclass on team dynamics and problem-solving within the context of the Perseverance Mars mission. She discussed the human side of the mission, including the stress related to her team having to deal with a "fault tone" early in the landing sequence, which meant making last-minute adjustments to the landing site to avoid unfavourable terrain, and the first soil sample attempt malfunctioning.
Afterwards, Dr David Steinberg, spoke about the talk and how it came about, saying: "I had never met Jennifer before and wrote a proposal to the NASA JPL Speaker's Bureau inviting her to talk about NASA's approach to teamwork and problem-solving, two topics covered in my graduate apprenticeship course called Business Skills for the Second Machine Age. It was a huge thrill when she accepted this invitation and for our students to have the chance to learn from her is a rare opportunity that most don't get to experience.
"My thanks to Jennifer for delivering a fascinating talk and insight into the incredible team effort needed to land on Mars."
During her presentation, Jennifer said: "What I'm going to do today is tell you about our mission, our team, and our vehicles. The talk is about the teams but in order to understand our teams you really have to understand our missions. It really is an honour to be here."
The GA programme allows students to combine their full-time employment in the public, private, and third-sectors in Scotland with their studies in order to earn a degree-level qualification. What makes the GA programme different to a traditional degree is that students split their time between lectures, tutorials and their day job allowing employers the opportunity to upskill their workforce.
Professor Heather McGregor, Executive Dean at the Edinburgh Business School at Heriot-Watt University, said: "At Heriot-Watt University, we look to give our students a unique learning experience and to hear directly from those who work in industry. We are proud to be able to give these opportunities to our University community and believe such experiences help shape our students to become exceptional assets when they enter the workplace."

The best charter area in Portugal is one the South coast where the Algarve provides 150 perfect miles of superb sailing coastline. The coastline to the West of Faro consists of small bays and coves broken up by striking rocky outcrops and amazing grottoes, perfect for anchoring, diving, fishing and snorkelling. East of Faro, the coast comprises sandy off-shore islets, which have created secluded anchorages and the most spectacular beaches that stretch for miles.
Winds tend to blow from the east averaging 15-25 knots. Navigation can be difficult due to numerous reefs. Best time to visit is between June and November.
Direct flights are available from London and Lisbon to Ponta Delgada (Azores) Also there are flights from the UK to Faro, Lisbon and Porto, many with low-cost operators. From Faro Airport to Vilamoura is approx 20km by taxi.

One of the major differences between pharmaceutical-grade supplements and general or over the counter supplements is the level of government regulation of their manufacture and sale. Pharmaceutical-grade supplements undergo stringent regulations by the Food and Drug Administration, and the pharmaceuticals undergo testing to monitor their contents, safety and efficacy. Over the counter supplements undergo regulation to ensure they cannot harm the general public, but do not undergo the same stringent regulation with respect to contents and efficacy.
Another major difference between pharmaceutical-grade and over the counter supplements are their ingredients. Pharmaceutical grade supplements will often contain a relatively pure sample of active vitamins, minerals and amino acids, allowing doctors to administer a very precise dosage of supplements to meet a patient's needs. Over the counter supplements, on the other hand, may contain a less pure sample of vitamins, and might also contain additives.
Consuming prescription-quality supplements can prove useful for treating specific diseases, as the drug provides a dosage of vitamins without additives, which could affect the vitamin's function. For example, pharmaceutical-grade niacin proves more effective than the over he counter vitamin supplement equivalent in treating high cholesterol, according to a study published in "Post-Graduate Medicine" in 2011.
We have a full line of Pharmaceutical/Physician or cGMP/GMP grade supplements.


Species of animals or organisms are considered extinct when there are no more of them alive. Animals that are classified as "endangered" are at risk of becoming extinct.
Some animals are considered extinct in the wild. This means that the only surviving members of the species live in captivity, like in a zoo.
Animals become extinct for a variety of reasons. Today many animals are endangered or have become extinct due to the influence of humans. Some of the ways that animals become extinct are described below.
Over the course of history many species have become extinct. This is part of the natural process. Species may become extinct because of changes in climate (i.e. the ice age), competition with other species, a reduced food supply, or combinations of all of these.
Most natural extinctions are isolated events that happen over a fairly long period of time. Some, however, are major events that can cause mass extinctions and happen quickly. Perhaps the most famous of these was the extinction of the dinosaurs, which may have been due to a large meteorite striking the Earth.
Today many conservationists are concerned with human interaction causing species to become extinct. This is because human interaction has increased the rate of extinctions beyond what normally should occur in nature. More extinctions reduces the planet's biodiversity and can have adverse affects for all life on Earth.
Many species have been hunted to extinction or to the point where they are critically endangered. One example of this is the American Bison. There were millions of bison in the Great Plains of North America until the arrival of the Europeans. Hunting was so intense that only a few hundred were left by the time the animals became protected. Fortunately, they have survived on farms and ranches and are no longer endangered.
Species that live only on islands can also be easily hunted to extinction. Even the arrival of a small tribe can quickly eliminate an island species.
Besides food, animals are often hunted for specific body parts like their fur, feathers, or horns. Sometimes these animals are the top predators and, therefore, do not have a large population to begin with. These species can be quickly hunted to extinction.
In Africa, the elephant was heavily hunted for its prized ivory horns. The population went from many millions to a few hundred thousand. Today the elephant is protected, but the population continues to drop in some areas due to poachers.
Another example is the tiger in China. The tiger was nearly hunted to extinction for both its valuable fur as well as its bones, which were traditionally used for medicine. Today it remains classified as an endangered species.
One of the main threats to animals today is loss of habitat. This comes from the expansion of humans, especially from agriculture. As vast areas of land are cultivated to grow food, natural habitats are destroyed. This can destroy many of the cycles of life necessary for organisms to survive and for biomes to thrive.
Pollution from humans can kill off a species as well. This is especially true in fresh water biomes such as rivers and lakes. Sewage and run-off from industrial plants can poison the water. When one species is affected, other species can die off as well causing a chain reaction as the balance of the ecosystem is destroyed.
When a new species of plant or animal is brought into an ecosystem it can become invasive, quickly taking over and killing off other species. It may also destroy an important part of the food chain causing many other species to suffer.

Dial Before You Dig is a free service that puts farmers planning to dig in contact with owners of underground pipes and cables that may run through and around rural properties. It is essential to lodge an enquiry with Dial Before You Dig before any excavation work as the presence or location of underground assets may not be known to landowners.
Minor excavation activities can cause major damages to these underground networks.
Farmers can lodge a free enquiry online at www.1100.com.au or by calling 1100 during business hours. You will receive plans providing details about underground assets including information on how to work safely around them.
Lodging a Dial Before You Dig enquiry is particularly important in rural areas and is the essential first step when excavating for works such as fencing, planting, constructing a dam or shed, or even when burying livestock.
Rural property owners must show duty of care when working around assets.
• If damage to an underground asset occurs, you must advise the asset owner immediately.
Always 'Dial Before You Dig' and remember the 4 P's of safe excavation – Plan – Pothole – Protect and only then Proceed.
Recently we've seen more and more farms becoming a member of Dial Before You Dig (DBYD) which means their assets are protected through the DBYD service. New members include Windfarms; as the Turbines generate electricity it is carried via underground cables to the substation. If these cables are damaged via excavation works it could be a very dangerous situation for the excavator or a costly fix for all parties involved.
