I am a multiskilled therapist. I focus on the physical, nutritional and emotional well being of my clients. I have practiced the Bowen Technique/NST (neurostructural integration technique) since 2005.
I also hold qualifications in CranioSacral therapy, reflexology, applied kinesiology and therapeutic massage techniques. I work closley with nutritionists, physiotherapists, pliates practitioners and other specialists.
The Bowen technique/ NST is a remarkably effective therapy, unique in its approach. When correctly applied initiates a process of auto regulation to occur in the spinal column and consequently throughout the whole body. The experience is gentle, subtle and relaxing. It can be performed through light clothing. It takes approximately one hour. It is suitable forall ages.

Astroworld: A tragedy four years in the making
Home /Main Story, Opinion/Astroworld: A tragedy four years in the making
Main Story,Opinion |
| By Eva Ortega
Far from the days of N.W.A. and Wu-Tang Clan, rap mogul Travis Scott exists in an era of rap music that increasingly strays from its strict, hip-hop roots.
Harboring a professed love for indie-folk artist Bon Iver, 1985 cult-classic The Breakfast Club, and frequently fueling his creative process in the studio by throwing up vintage cartoons on a flat screen, it's the blithe makeup of Scott's personality, a genuine commitment to being himself, that creates his allure.
He's the certified weirdo, who off his talent alone, went from couch hopping at friends houses at USC to achieving rock star fame and snagging billionaire socialite Kylie Jenner. He has also mastered the art of repackaging his eccentricity and insecurities into tunes that appeal to the masses.
In a piece for i-D magazine, writer Danili Bopari attests to the rappers magnetic influence, writing of Scott's "loyal legion of teen fans" whom "obediently open up moshpits on command, as Travis demands they rage alongside him."
The crowd at a Travis Scott show in 2017.
Bopari goes as far as crowning Scott a "modern deity," who cups the world in his hand as "major brands and fashion houses have tripped over themselves to partner with him."
But this is what makes Scott dangerous and in part, what would cost people their lives the first night of his Houston, Texas based music festival, Astroworld.
The tragedy has spurred a look into Scott's checkered past, exposing a series of incidents from 2017 that left a fan paralyzed and Scott himself arrested for inciting a riot.
For many, this makes his disregard for the safety of others a pattern, seen maintained on the night of Nov. 5 through footage of Scott blissfully humming into his mic as medical personnel desperately tried to pry people from the roaring crowd below him.
It's this same footage that has left 'W' magazine in a rush to pull their cover of him from shelves across the country, Nike indefinitely postponing their 2022 collaboration with him, and Fortnite having already wiped their popular emote of him from their services.
How couldn't he see that people were dying below him, they ask. Ambulances were struggling to cut through the crowd! Why wasn't the show stopped?
Yes, the videos are bad.
What they don't show, though, is Scott's perspective, where hoisted tens of feet above the crowd, people become ants, often veiled by the blinding blinks of their own camera flashes.
Furthermore, wearing the required in-ear monitors to protect his hearing, the playback of his own vocals would have likely barred him from hearing much, if anything at all.
Even if taken off, as most artists do sporadically during live events, it is more than likely that the barrage of 50,000 people shouting cheers of admiration and detestation alike makes for a less than coherent message to the receiver.
Thus, casting aside the widely known fact that passing out from exhaustion or claustrophobia is rather commonplace at music festivals of that size, the fuzzy circumstances of that night make it impossible to justify the notion that Scott knew what was happening.
For what it's worth, Houston Police Chief Troy Finner also made it clear to the Associated Press that if Scott, other Astroworld organizers, or his own team of officers had ordered a stop to the show, the consequences could have been far worse.
"You cannot just close when you've got 50,000—over 50,000—individuals, OK?" Finder told the AP. "We have to worry about rioting…when you have a group that's that young."
Though, in our clumsy rush to point fingers, we seemingly forget to overlook the other, plain facts before us as well as the role the general public has played in catalyzing its impact.
Maybe we weren't in the crowd embarrassingly hijacking emergency vehicles to dance atop of for clout, but we are the ones who have shared and found amusement in the poorly thought out conspiracy theories of Scott having performed satanic rituals during his performance or filmed ourselves eating cereal out of sneakers worth hundreds of dollars in an odd form of protest.
When we lose ourselves in this sensationalized pap, we allow Scott to continue his existence on the glorified pedestal that brought us here in the first place. Even worse, entranced by our own performative hate for the rapper, we take attention from the sobs of a mourning mother and family members who beg for us to stop the misplaced accountability.
Travis Scott, after all, is only one man, and while his name and image might have been used as the driving force behind Astroworld's popularity, his job that night was to deliver a performance that satisfied the audience who paid for it.
The reality of organizing a massive music festival then, especially set during the tail end of a pandemic, requires the approval and signing off of a tribe of people more capable and qualified than Scott.
According to documents obtained by the Associated Press, Astroworld organizers submitted 56-pages worth of security and emergency protocols to Harris County that were to be followed in the event that a mass emergency were to take place. Protocols that assigned duties to people who are trained in the field of public safety and of which required the approval of local officials before moving forward.
And so, even if Travis Scott were the proposed delinquent who purposely chose to disregard the well-being of his attendees, where were those who had formulated the logistics of the festival? Scott's personal management team, personnel from event promoter LiveNation, NRG Park owners, private security companies, other independent contractors? At the very least, all are responsible for abetting the rapper and all should face the consequences of toying with criminal liability.
John Hilgert, Brianna Rodriguez, Franco Patiño, Jake Jurinek, Rudy Peña, Madison Dubiski, Danish Baig, Axel Acosta, Bharti Shahani and Ezra Blount deserve better.

EDITOR'S NOTE: I"m happy to share this preview with you, courtesy of Valiant Entertainment . . . . . . .
Lettered Preview Debut: RAPTURE #1 – Ninjak Leads Shadowman's Road to Redemption on May 24th!
Matt Kindt & CAFU Go Beyond Earth for Valiant's First Fantasy-Driven Summer Event!
Valiant is proud to present your first lettered look inside RAPTURE #1 (of 4) – the FIRST ISSUE of Valiant's astonishing standalone event from New York Times best-selling writer Matt Kindt (X-O Manowar, Dept. H) and explosive artist CAFU (Rai)! On May 24th – the next "X-O Manowar Wednesday" in comics shops everywhere – join deadly MI-6 assassin Ninjak and the damaged supernatural guardian called Shadowman as they lead a preemptive strike into the forbidden dimension known as the Deadside – a realm where magic trumps might and an eons-old war machine stands at arms, ready to penetrate our reality and upend the order of heaven and hell as we now know it…
"The essential Shadowman lore is that he's a guy plagued by this loa, a dark demon that possesses him for better or worse, and it's plagued his family for generations. He wants to be rid of this thing, and eventually, he gets captured by MI-6 and used as a sort of reluctant agent for good... [RAPTURE] is really showcasing Shadowman, who has been gone a long time – too long," said writer Matt Kindt. "The plan is to really re-introduce Shadowman and set him up in a way that will make him a more permanent fixture in the Valiant Universe and on comic shelves."
On a scarred landscape, two otherworldly armies prepare to battle one last time, vying for control of a massive tower named from an ancient language no longer permitted to be spoken.
One army is led by a primeval force named Babel, whose goal is singular: to breach "heaven" no matter the cost. The only thing standing in his way is a gray-haired barbaric warrior, filled with rage and regret – a man who sees this battle as his last chance for redemption. But he knows his depleted forces have little chance of victory unless aid comes soon.
Enter Tama: A 12-year old girl on the crest of a hill overlooking the battle, who has just become humanity's only hope. The last in an ancient line of mystics who protect the Earth, she has foreseen this battle and knows millions will perish if she's unable to stop it. Now Tama and her ragtag team of malcontents – Ninjak, Shadowman and Punk Mambo – must somehow defeat an elder god hell bent on piercing the heavens.
In the game-changing footsteps of THE VALIANT and BLOODSHOT U.S.A., Valiant's next shocking standalone event is here! On May 24th, Shadowman's long-awaited return to the forefront of the Valiant Universe begins with a terrifying breach between two worlds, only in RAPTURE #1 (of 4) – featuring covers by Mico Suayan (Bloodshot Reborn), J.G. Jones (Final Crisis), Kano (Swamp Thing), and CAFU (Action Comics)!

The Woodall Family Cemetery is located off Happy Hollow Road. This cemetery is believed to only have eight graves, six of which are Woodalls and the other two are members of the Power family. The Woodalls once owned vast acreage which extended from where the old home place still sits on Nesbit Ferry Road to the cemetery off Happy Hollow Road.
Charles Newton Woodall, born in 1826 and died 1902, is buried in this historic cemetery along with his wife, Martha Caroline Woodall. Charles Woodall fought in the Civil War as part of the Confederate Cherokee Legions State Guards, and his wife Caroline was a founding member of the Winters Chapel United Methodist Church in the 1880's.
Charles Woodall's mother, Sarah Crosby Woodall is also buried in the old cemetery. She died in 1874, but her birth date is not legible.
Caroline Humphries Woodall was part of the Humphries family that lived over in the Cross Keys area, now known as Brookhaven.
Three of the Woodall's children are buried in the cemetery, including two infant boys and a daughter, Indiana Vandalia Woodall, born 1849 and died 1861.
There are no markers for Josiah or Samuel Power, however when Franklin Garrett surveyed DeKalb cemeteries in 1931 he noted that Joe Reeve informed him that the Powers were buried there.

When Professor Irene Ng (PhD 1997) sold her business with an annual turnover of US$250 million to return to school, little did she know that she would stay on to master the art of straddling the academic and corporate divide.
"I wanted a change" explained the founder of The Empress Cruise Lines who took a 75 per cent pay cut to be a part-time student again from 1996. She completed her doctoral studies in NUS Business School in 2002 while leading SA Tours group of companies as Executive Vice Chairman.
While running the cruise line and holding senior leadership positions in the travel industry, Prof Ng felt that she had lived a lifetime. She recounted managing challenging situations such as a mutiny onboard The Empress and a collision at sea.
Yet, despite learning valuable lessons from her corporate experience, she knew that she needed to enrich herself further. "There is a limit to how much you can learn in the private sector," explained Prof Ng.
Having demonstrated her capability in the industry, few would be surprised that alumna Prof Ng was recently rewarded the prestigious Advanced Institute of Management Research (AIM) Fellowship.
The AIM fellowship is a highly prestigious award in the UK where, in order to support and encourage cutting edge innovation in management research, AIM takes the unusual step of supporting people rather than projects with its Fellowship scheme.
Prof Ng was not only awarded the fellowship, but was chosen to lead a team of six Services Fellows to generate knowledge suitable for academic audiences in scholarly settings while engaging with practitioners and policy makers throughout their research.
Although she had attained success as an academic, Prof Ng felt uncomfortable being labeled only as an academic.
Armed with a wealth of corporate experience and a place in academia, Prof Ng successfully straddles the corporate and academic border. "I live in the space between corporate and academic world," mused Prof Ng.
No matter which would this alumna decided to straddle, one can look forward to her successful juggling of responsibilities and unreserved contributions.
Professor Irene C L Ng is an Associate Professor of Marketing and the Director for the Centre Research at the School of Business and Ecnomics, University of Exeter (UK). She recently received a prestigious AIM fellowship to lead research on services. She was also previously the CEO of SA Tours, the largest tour operator in Southeast Asia, and the Founder and CEO of Empress Cruise Lines, a cruise company with a turnover of $250 million per annum.

'Countries will hold Iran to account' over downed airliner
1 week ago 3 min read
Ukraine demands full reparations for the families of the victims, countries affected by downing of plane a year ago.
Ukraine has called on Iran to deliver justice and pay full compensation to the families of those who were killed when a Ukrainian airliner was shot down by Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC) last January.
On Friday, the first anniversary of the crash, Ukraine, and countries whose citizens were killed in the incident, jointly called in a statement for "a complete and thorough explanation … including concrete measures to ensure that it will never happen again".
"Our countries will hold Iran to account to deliver justice and make sure Iran makes full reparations to the families of the victims and affected countries," said the statement, made jointly with Afghanistan, Canada, Sweden and the United Kingdom.
Last week, Iran said it would pay $150,000 to families of each of the 176 victims of the Ukraine International Airlines plane that was shot down in Iranian airspace.
Among the victims of the incident were 57 Canadians as well as 11 Ukrainians, 17 people from Sweden, four Afghans and four British citizens.
The IRGC has said it accidentally shot down the aircraft, which was en route to the Ukrainian capital of Kyiv, mistaking it for a missile at a time when tensions with the United States were high.
The incident took place on the same night Iran launched a ballistic missile attack targeting US soldiers in Iraq in response to a drone strike ordered by US President Donald Trump that killed General Qassem Soleimani in Baghdad on January 3.
But on Friday, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said it was "impossible not to know then that it was a passenger plane in the air".
"No one doubts that the lives of 176 civilians aboard a peaceful plane were criminally taken by two missiles," Zelenskiy said.
Describing Iran's handling of the situation as "unacceptable", Ukraine had earlier said the amount of compensation should be negotiated.
A Canadian adviser said on Thursday that it was premature to discuss how much compensation to pay to relatives.
Canada's Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said on Friday the country will not accept "anything less than a comprehensive and honest explanation" from Iran. He also called for "transparency, accountability, and justice" for the families of the victims.
'Justice will be served'
Meanwhile, in Iran, tributes were paid to the victims.
Social media was awash with posts about the downed flight on Thursday, while a number of the victims' families held a vigil at Tehran's Imam Khomeini International Airport, where the flight took off from.
A commemorative event also took place in Shahedshahr, where the airplane came down.
In a televised speech, Iranian President Hassan Rouhani called the incident "very bitter, painful and unbelievable".
Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif said: "The only thing we can do is to provide compensation in accordance with prevailing international norms and to hold those responsible to account. Justice will be served."
Last month, Iran said the final technical report on the incident was sent to other countries involved in the case for review and comments, and will soon be published.

Q: What is integrative counselling and therapy?
A: My practice is integrative in two ways. Firstly, I work with people in their wholeness, and I believe health is a state of being our whole selves. Wounds, illness and symptoms show up when our wholeness has been compromised. I help people integrate their conscious and unconscious selves; integrate their bodies, minds, hearts, nervous systems and energy systems. I also help people integrate their past, present and future experiences of self. When we feel integrated, we feel healthy. Secondly, my work is integrative in that I blend multiple modalities and therapeutic approaches together in a way that is unique to each client. Please see below for my most used modalities.
Q: How many sessions will I need and how frequently will I need them?
A: It depends on what kind of pain you're experiencing and how long you've been experiencing it for. You'll most likely feel healing happening right from the very first session. Most people healing from relational trauma see me on average from 8-12 sessions, usually once a week or once every two weeks. If we're healing intergenerational trauma or early childhood trauma that hasn't been processed before, that can take longer, usually 6 months to several years. This is because we're working to regulate a nervous system that has been dysregulated for a long time, as well as shift distorted core beliefs about the self that are deeply held. At the first session we'll map out what our healing work will look like and collaborate on a plan of action that feels right to you.
Q: What therapeutic modalities do you use with individuals?
A: My most used approaches include somatic relational therapy, attachment-based therapy, body-centered psychotherapies, Internal Family Systems Therapy (also known as "parts work"), mindfulness practices, trauma informed therapies, and experiential psychotherapy.
Q: What therapeutic modalities do you use with couples?
A: I most commonly use a Psychobiological Approach to Couples Therapy (PACT), which focuses on three domains: developmental neuroscience, nervous system regulation, and attachment theory. I also draw from Internal Family Systems therapy, attachment-based therapies, Emotionally Focused Therapy, and Family Systems theories in couples work.
Q: How do you work with the body and the nervous system?
A: Our bodies are our home, the physical container in which all of our life experience gets felt, processed and stored. Yet culturally we're socialized away from our bodies into our heads, as if our "self" was just in our minds and our thoughts. I support my clients to reclaim their bodies, to feel at home in their own skin, and to nurture a felt sense of self that can ground them throughout life.
I also do trauma healing work, which always involves the body, because our bodies store unprocessed traumatic experience (unbearable and overwhelming feelings) that our minds dissociate away from. If we've experienced traumas that haven't been held and processed inside a safe relationship, our nervous systems can get stuck in states of anxiety or depression. This happens because trauma energy often has an emotional and energetic "charge" that is too big for our nervous systems to hold alone.
Trauma work is relational and embodied by nature. When we have someone else to help us safely contain and release traumatic experience through somatic (body) work, our nervous systems don't have to try and hold a "charge" that is too big and scary for us (which is why we can leave our bodies, because it's too unsafe there.) Together, we can hold experience that's been previously unseen and unfelt, and we can either integrate it or release it. Then our nervous systems heal, and become more resilient and regulated.
Q: How do you work with the mind?
A: My approach to working with the mind is based on a "multiplicity of mind" philosophy. This means that we don't just have one mind. We naturally have lots of little "minds" or "parts" to our personality. You know when you're aware of one part of you that wants one thing, but another part of you that wants the opposite thing? That's two different parts of your mind. And no, this isn't a disorder, it's not pathology. We ALL have multiple parts of mind!
However, sometimes we suffer from internal conflict or parts acting out in polarized and extreme ways because they're burdened with pain that hasn't been processed. For example, some common ways this shows up: having a strong "Internal Critic" that shames or criticizes you, or parts that engage in emotional eating, drinking, or addictive activities. No parts are bad; they're just trying to cope in the ways they've learned. My work is to help you become aware of, and learn to relate to, all the parts of yourself with increasing care, compassion, and freedom. I also teach my clients mindful self-compassion practices and mindfulness meditation practices that will anchor this way of caring for the mind into their daily lives.
Q: What does "attachment" mean in the therapeutic context?
A: We humans depend on each other for safety and survival, and our bodies and nervous systems are wired for interdependent and intimate relationships. When we're born, the healthy development of our brains, bodies, minds, and self-identity is neurobiologically shaped from our relational bonds with our early caregivers. Think of it this way: when we're little, we're completely dependent on our caregivers for everything we need for survival and nourishment. What we receive from them, we internalize and take into our own self.
So, our relational attachments are crucial in our development. If we had safe adults in our lives who supported and protected us, we can internalize love, connection, stability, compassion, and we can face life's challenges with age-appropriate responses. We can also form healthy adult relationships because we know how to balance give and take, communicate needs, set healthy boundaries, and feel safe in our bodies. If we haven't had healthy attachment figures, or our caregivers were relationally wounded in some way, then we may have attachment trauma.
I strongly believe attachment trauma is at the root of most human suffering. Therapy is one way we can heal relationally, by creating a safe therapeutic relationship together (a new, healthy attachment bond) in which maladaptive patterns of relating to self and others, distorted self-identities, and unbearable feelings can be held together, processed and transformed into new ways of being.
Q: I've heard of "Shadow work." Can we work on this together?
A: Yes. The shadow is our unconscious self, that acts, or rather reacts, without us being aware of what it's doing. These reactions often take the form of emotions, thoughts, identities or behaviours that have been oppressed, suppressed, or denied somewhere in either our personal or collective history. Together we can reintegrate and transform the shadow self so that you're more in alignment with the values you hold and the actions you want to be taking in the world.
Q: What are your professional credentials?
Q: Is there a difference between counselling and therapy?
A: I use the words interchangeably in my practice.
Q: Are Registered Clinical Counsellors covered by health insurance?
A: Many health insurance plans do cover RCCs. Please call your provider to confirm. If you're covered, you'll need to give your provider my RCC number (#14300) and they will reimburse you after you provide them receipts from our sessions.

As you may know, Key West is crawling with the gatos. Chickens and gatos. We were not stalked by chickens, but this guy was extremely needy.
Dad was supposed to arrive around 5 p.m., and I was scheduled to arrive around 9 p.m. In the end, I was able to do a same-day upgrade for 75 bones and arrived at 5 p.m. Dad missed his connection and arrived at 9 p.m. Ahh, the best laid plans. We finally popped down to Mangoes to catch up and outline our respective travels.
And upon our return, this fello was zonked out waiting for us.
Then the next morning, on our way to breakfast, there he was, hanging around the inn.
And returned home to wash up for dinner, and when we opened the door, guess who was being needy.

Q: How do I plot data from excel file with legends picking the column heading? I have my data on an excel file (with five columns and 15 rows) and would like to import the file into mathematica and then:
(a). Plot column 1 against column 3
(b). Plot column 1 against column 2, 3, 4 and 5 (multiple curves)
However, I would like the legend labels to be picked directly form the column heading (y1, y2, y3, y4). I would appreciate comments and suggestions.

A: To create an excel file with 5 columns and 15 rows:
headers = ToString /@ {y1, y2, y3, y4, y5};
values = SortBy[RandomInteger[99, {15, 5}], First];
Export["example.xlsx", Join[{headers}, values]];

Import the excel file and take its first part:
importeddata = Import["example.xlsx"][[1]];
Grid[importeddata]

ListPlot[importeddata[[2 ;;, {1, 3}]] , Joined -> True,
   PlotMarkers -> Automatic, PlotLegends -> LineLegend[importeddata[[1, {3}]]]]

ListPlot[importeddata[[2 ;;, {1, #}]] & /@ {2, 3, 4, 5}, Joined -> True,
   PlotMarkers -> Automatic, PlotLegends -> LineLegend[importeddata[[1, {2, 3, 4, 5}]]]]

Or define a function that takes as input a dataset and columns to plot:
lpF[data_, cols_] := ListPlot[data[[2 ;;, {1, #}]] & /@ cols, Joined -> True,
   PlotMarkers -> Automatic, PlotLegends -> LineLegend[data[[1, cols]]]];

lpF[importeddata, {2, 3, 5}]

Update: As noted by @rcollyer in the comments, in version 10 and later versions, you can transform your data using
transformF[data_, cols_]:=<|Map[#[[1, 2]]->#[[2 ;;]]&]@ Map[data[[All, {1, #}]] &]@cols|>;

and get the same result without having to use the option PlotLegends:
ListPlot[transformF[importeddata, {2,3,5}], Joined->True, PlotMarkers->Automatic]

A: If I understand the question he has an "x" column and a bunch of "y" columns:
make an example:
header = {"x", "sin", "cos"};
x = Range[0, 2 Pi, 1/100];
values = Transpose@{x, Sin[x], Cos[x]};
Export["example.xlsx", Join[{headers}, values]];
Clear[header, x]

read it back:
{header, data} = Through[{First, Rest}@Import["example.xlsx"][[1]]];
{x, y} = Through[{First, Rest}@Transpose[data]];
ListPlot[Transpose[{x, #}] & /@ y, Joined -> True,
 PlotLegends -> header[[2 ;;]]]

sometimes its convenient to actually copy the x vals and associate with each y column:
ydata = Transpose[{x, #}] & /@ y;
ynames = header[[2 ;;]];

then you can just do:
ListPlot[ydata, Joined -> True, PlotLegends -> ynames ]

same plot

An essential part of the Allahabad Tour has always been the Gardens in Allahabad that has accentuated the beauty of the place for centuries. The gardens have been the witness of the rich history and the varied cultural implications of the city that has been one of the oldest cities in the world. One of the famed gardens of Allahabad which has stood as the witness to one of incidents that has left a deep mark on the history of struggle for freedom is the Company Gardens, Allahabad which is at times even called as Alfred Park. The Company Gardens is a very attractive proposition for the travelers to the city of Allahabad and it attracts many visitors every tear as well.
The garden is strategically located in the heart of the city and just behind the Allahabad Museum. The travelers to Allahabad can visit the place during any time of the year which can be easily accessed by the different modes of transportation.
The Company Gardens in Allahabad in India is the largest gardens in the city. The park bears a huge effigy of George V and Victoria installed at the centre of the park. The park stood as the ceremonial ground for the official ceremonies of the British Raj which was evidently followed by the musical performances of the Police Band.
The park came to fame during the Indian Freedom Struggle as it stood the witness to the famous encounter of bullets between the British police and the brave heart of Indian freedom struggle, Chandra Shekhar Azad or simply 'Azad' as he was fondly known. The bravery of Azad made history when he took to his oath of never ever surrendering to the British force and he fought till his last bullet and last breath at the park when the British force surrounded him from all directions and showered bullets on him. Presently a statue has been erected at the place where Azad finished his part of fight in the freedom struggle.
Other than the rich history the park the tourists also get attracted with the beauty of the park accentuated by the greenery and the exclusive atmosphere. A visit to the Company Gardens, Allahabad is a must while on a tour to Allahabad.


In debates about end of life care, there are many who express concern at the potential impact of physician-assisted death on palliative care. Are there grounds for this worry?
A recent paper in the Journal of Medical Ethics says 'no'. The paper - published by a team of researchers from Belgium's End of Life Care Research Group - compares the development of palliative care (PC) in countries where euthanasia is legal to countries where it is not.
The team considered changes in structural service indicators in EU countries, as well as examining increases in government spending on palliative care in Belgium over the period 2002-2011.
The results, they said, were surprising. The rate of increase in the number of structural PC provisions was highest in the Netherlands and Luxembourg. Belgium stayed on par with the UK in its development of palliative care availability. Furthermore, Belgian government expenditure for PC doubled between 2002 and 2011.
"Does adding the 'antibiotic' of PAD to the Petri dish of society inhibit growth of PC resources and services? The Benelux data do not verify this concern."
But while these findings are significant, the authors still note that only one in four of the top countries for palliative care provision in the EU is a country that allows euthanasia (Belgium). In the other three top countries, Iceland, the UK and Sweden, the procedure remains illegal.
The authors of the study also acknowledge that it will be important to examine the long term effects of euthanasia legalization: "A final comment is that the effects of legal PAD may still manifest on the longer term or in other ways."
Time will tell what other effects euthanasia has on end-of-life care.

Boris Johnson drawing plans to put UK on obesity-busting diet to fight COVID-19
Boris Johnson was diagnosed with COVID-19 last year.
Among other measures to counter obesity, UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson is likely to promote wider use of bariatric surgery to reduce the impact of COVID-19.
Written by Longjam Dineshwori |Published : June 29, 2020 12:20 PM IST
Several studies have identified obesity as a major risk factor for severe COVID-19 infection. Current infection data also suggests that a high proportion of COVID-19 patients who were admitted to the intensive care units were overweight or obese. UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson, who was hospitalized due to the deadly virus back in April, also believes that losing weight would be the best thing overweight people can do to beat the novel coronavirus.
The 56-year-old leader, who is on a slimming regime himself, is planning to put the country on a diet as part of a wider strategy to counter obesity. As per media reports, he is expected to come out with plans by next month to increase fitness levels across the nation by encouraging people to eat more healthily and do more exercise.
According to the Sunday Times, the UK's health department has submitted a series of proposals to No. 10 Downing Street as part of the strategy. Possible measures to be taken up include family exercise schemes, increasing the number of outdoor gyms, promoting a healthy diet as well as bariatric surgery, which may involve the fitting of gastric bands. The UK PM is also apparently planning to put a ban on price promotions such as "buy one, get one free" offers, and unlimited refills on unhealthy foods and drinks. In addition, he is likely to bring in legislation to mandate calorie labeling for restaurants, caf , and takeaways.

Study Finds Pfizer And Influenza Shot Taken On The Same Day May Up The Risk Of Stroke
COVID-19 To Continue Being A Public Health Emergency For Now: WHO
How obesity increases COVID-19 risk
Several experts have highlighted Type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, heart disease as the major risk factors for COVID-19 infection. People who have these medical conditions are not only more susceptible to COVID-19 infection, but they are also at higher risk for developing severe illness from the infection and succumb to it. And these conditions are rooted in excess body fat, that is they often co-exist with obesity. Studies have also cited obesity as one of the major risk factors for severe COVID-19 infection, even in those below 60 years. A study in France found that a large number of COVID-19 patients who needed mechanical ventilation were obese. The study also revealed that the risk of infection increases with increasing obesity. Estimates suggest that more than 60 per cent of adults in the UK and US are overweight or obese.
Since India has a very high prevalence of lifestyle-related diseases such as Type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, and heart disease, the country's population is particularly vulnerable to the coronavirus infection, opined some experts.
Diet and other ways to counter obesity
To combat obesity and reduce the threat from the deadly virus, experts recommend that people should give up ultra-processed and packaged foods. They also suggest replacing refined carbohydrates with wholefoods such as vegetables and fruits. Here are a other lifestyle changes that you should follow to bring your weight into a healthier range.
Cut sugar and saturated fats
Plan your meals ahead to make better food choices, and be aware of what you eat at every meal.
Keeping a food journal to keep a track of what eat you eat in a day.
Exercise regularly. Not only it can help in weight loss, but also improve your mental health.


Councillors Mrs B Bramhall, Mrs P Fisher, L Hickman, M Quinn, A Reed.
Apologies: Councillors Mrs M Belt, S Heathcote, D Munro, R Phillips, District Councillor P Bromell.
The meeting was preceded by the December Draw for the 100 Club in support of the Parish Hall Development Fund. The lucky number was 80 belonging to Paul Barton.
83. The Chairman opened the meeting and the minutes of the Parish Council Meeting held on 14th November 2013 having been circulated were taken as read and signed as a true copy by the Chairman.
84.1 The Council examined the following application and Mr Robertson was allowed to speak in answer to some doubts which were expressed by a Councillor in regard to traffic problems which might occur with extra transport visiting the site. 13/03212/OUT Outline − dwelling (all matters reserved for future consideration) at Rebecca Springs, Nadderwater. The Council discussed the outline application and there were no objections.
85.1 As directed at the November meeting a quotation for pruning of trees behind the bus shelter area has been obtained and this has been costed at £90 + VAT and will be carried out in the new financial year.
85.2 The Clerk mentioned that whilst discussing this area of the Parish a request has been received from Mr Pike, via Cllr Belt, that the Parish Council take over the maintenance of the garden area around the Whitestone Sign as his mother who previously had tended this area has now gone to live at "Treelands" and obviously is no longer able to be responsible. It was agreed that the Parish Council would take over this task and would discuss the implementation at a future meeting. Our thanks to Mrs Pike for her service to our community over the years.
The Asset Management Group progress report was distributed to Councillors and contents were discussed. It was reported that the window on the second floor at No 1 has now been changed as discussed in November Minutes and Devon Sales and Lettings are arranging for a handrail to be refitted. The Asset group had previously reported the need to replace a rotten post in the rear garden fence but as the fence is now damaged further this will require additional attention and the Group will obtain a further quotation for the work to be discussed at the January meeting. The Group proposed that the work to extend down pipes to re-direct surface water before potential freezing during the winter should be implemented as per the quotation obtained in October and this was resolved.
85.4 Following the report regarding the noticeboard at Nadderwater the Asset Group have repaired and re-varnished this and it has been re-fixed to the wall of the Royal Oak by kind agreement of the landlady. This was a cheaper alternative than replacing it where it was and it is also more visible for the general public. A vote of thanks was given to Cllrs Reed and Hickman for this work.
Following this request the Clerk was instructed to write to the tenants of 1 and 2 School Houses re-iterating the point made by our Insurance Company that parking their vehicles on the Parish Hall car park is done at their own risk and neither the Parish Council or Parish Hall Committee of Management are responsible for any claims made as a result of such action.
Cllr Nierop welcomed back Cllr Quinn following his illness and sent best wishes to Cllr Mrs Belt who is at present in hospital undergoing an operation.
Cllr Nierop reported that Mr Peter Joll has now painted the bus shelter as volunteered at the November meeting and a vote of thanks was expressed for his kind efforts.
Cllr Nierop went through an updated budget statement which had been distributed to Councillors and explained the updated items. The Precept will be set at the January 2014 meeting.
Devon County Council Neighbourhood Highway Officer reported back on the issues raised at the November meeting. Unfortunately owing to budget constraints no new directional signs (or replacements) are being authorised and the Clerk was instructed to ask if it would be possible for the Parish to erect a sign for Nadderwater subject to consultation with Devon County Council.
89.1 Cllr Bramhall reported deep potholes in Halsfordwood Lane (by Connetts). She had reported a carpet which had been dumped and this had been removed by Teignbridge District Council.
89.2 County Councillor Brook did not have anything to report but answered a query from Cllr Nierop in regard to the visits from lengthsmen.
Mr Willcocks said he was in attendance having read in the Parish Magazine the comments regarding the setting up of a working group to review the continued ownership of School Houses, other options available and the implications of any changes. He stated that in his opinion they should be sold in view of the expense incurred with regard to maintenance etc. which had been ongoing over the past 37 years.
Mrs Greenfield said she would like to express an opposite view to this and would not be in agreement with their disposal.
The Chairman stated that the whole matter was being investigated including the legalities involved and the Parishioners would of course be kept informed.
Mrs Greenfield reported that the large pothole by the Church wall had now been fixed but she would like potholes in Church Lane (by the drive to the Rectory) and potholes in Hill Lane to be reported. It was noted that the potholes in Hill Lane had been reported some months ago.
Mrs Greenfield gave the following report on the Parish Plan Steering Group:- "We have continued work on the full questionnaire and have a further meeting planned this month. We would like to wish all Parishioners a very Happy Christmas". In response to a question she stated that no timetable was available for completing this project.

The basic idea is to plan your menus in late October or very early in November for the upcoming weeks, and to make double batches of meals, freezing half to serve during the 7 – 10 days before Thanksgiving. It's fall, so soups and stews are perfect for this.
Do you have a written inventory of what's already in your freezer? This is a great time to do it! You'll want to use as much as you can of what's already in there, not just to save time, but also because you'll need room for items you'll be making ahead for Thanksgiving Day, as well as the meals for the week right before it.
Not everything needs to come directly from the freezer. You can also combine holiday prep with week-before dinner prep, e.g., if you are making pie crusts (and freezing them now), make an extra to use in a quiche for dinner one evening when you'll have the oven on for pre-Thanksgiving prep.
To find the article, just type into the search box "Thanksgiving Hike" and it should be the first search result. I cannot link within this recipe, but if you copy and paste https://tinyurl.com/OctNov2017Flightplan you can see what I've planned for October and November. Within that document you can link to my "flightplan" for the wonderful voyage that begins on the Saturday morning before Thanksgiving and ends when dinner is served on Thursday. It shows the tasks to do each day, including many that can be done in just a few minutes, as well as my grocery lists (with dates assigned) and links to the recipes I'll be using. In early November, I'll pull from my notebooks the recipes I've already printed, and will print and drop into sleeves the new ones.
Okay, you're right. This is not a recipe. I hope however that you find it helpful and that you enjoy the peace of mind throughout this lovely month that I will certainly be enjoying.
I took a sharp right turn last week after playing with the Thanksgiving Menu Genie (and seeing my husband's menu, after he did one on his own).
I completely scrapped for another time my previously decided complete (feeling really relaxed about what lies ahead, especially all the time I have in the evenings over the next few weeks). The new menu is linked from the prep game plan.
Love all of these tips for weekday dinners (not just at the holidays but throughout the year). I plan meals and cook ahead but on a much smaller scale, and I am always looking for ways to be more efficient in meal preparation without sacrificing flavor. I especially love your monthly breakdown of such varied dinners from now until Thanksgiving, mostly drawn from your freezer. (Can you provide links to some of the recipes?) All in all, this is masterful . . . you should write a book about meal planning and cooking in advance. I am totally serious!
Thank you so much! I actually recommended, in a Hotline thread in 2011, that Food52 create such a book, and then within a year of that post, actually said, "I could write a book on this." When I saw the news of A & M's new book, I thought, "Well, they beat me to it" (or, they took my advice). I haven't seen the book, but from what I can tell from the excerpts available online and in reviews in various places, that new way to dinner is not the book I'd have written. I'm waiting for the library's copy to be put on the shelf.

Trump: America Is 'A Nation of Believers'
By Randy DeSoto February 8, 2018 at 10:37am
At the 66th annual National Prayer Breakfast on Thursday, President Donald Trump reaffirmed the strong connection between Americans' faith in God and the nation's founding ideals.
He also recognized the powerful part prayer played in preserving the life of the event's keynote speaker, House Majority Whip Rep. Steve Scalise of Louisiana.
"America is a nation of believers, and together we are strengthened by the power of prayer," he said to the hundreds of lawmakers, government officials and faith leaders in attendance.
Early in his remarks, Trump proclaimed, "Faith is central to American life and to liberty. Our founders invoked our Creator four times in the Declaration of Independence."
"Our rights are not given to us by man; our rights come from our Creator," he said. "No matter what, no earthly force can take those rights away."
The president also noted that America's currency incorporates the nation's motto, "In God We Trust." Further, the Pledge of Allegiance includes the words "under God," which were added during the administration of former President Dwight Eisenhower in the 1950s, when the National Prayer Breakfast began.

Scalise agreed, telling the breakfast attendees in his keynote address, "(God) is sending us signals every day and he's sending us signs."
In his own life, he noticed one such sign in the daily scripture in his church's missalette for the day of the shooting.
"I got goosebumps when I read the scripture in the missalette for June 14, and I want to read it to you. It's Psalm 27," he said.
"The Lord is my light and salvation, whom shall I fear?" Scalise read. "The Lord is the stronghold of my life, whom should I dread? When those who do evil draw near, they stumble and fall."

The congressman pointed out that is exactly what happened to the shooter, who sought to wreak carnage. "The man who meant to do evil, stumbled and fell by the grace of God," Scalise said.
During his speech, Trump also highlighted the faith of North Korean defector Ji Seong-ho, who he honored at last week's State of the Union address.
"Before his escape, when Seong-ho was being tortured by North Korean officials, there was one thing that kept him from losing hope: Over and over again, he recited the Lord's Prayer," Trump said. "He prayed for peace, and he prayed for freedom. And now, as you know, Seong-ho is free and a symbol of hope to millions of people all around the world."

On Thursday, Trump also spoke of 9-year-old Sophia Marie Campa-Peters, who suffers from a rare disease that causes her to suffer regular strokes. The little girl was in attendance at the prayer breakfast.
Fox News reported in January that the president had asked the nation to pray for the young girl ahead of her surgery.
"Today, we thank God that Sophia is with us, and she's recovering, and she's walking very well," he said Thursday. "You may only be 9 years old, but you are already a hero to all of us in this room, and all over the world."
Trump concluded his remarks saying, "We can all be heroes to everybody, and they can be heroes to us."
"As long as we open our eyes to God's grace and open our hearts to God's love, then America will forever be the land of the free, the home of the brave, and a light unto all nations," he added.

In the days of Paisios, the hieromonk of Mytilene, there occurred in the Kalyva of St. John the Theologian the miracle of the entire splitting of the wine cup, to show the fathers present that before Christ both John the Forerunner and John the Theologian have the same boldness before God. The cup has been placed in a silver casing with metalic artistic decoration. The two pieces are of the same weight.
Paisios returned to Kavsokalyvia to his old Kalyva, after receiving his regular ration from the Monastery of Xenophontos throughout his life.
During the feast of John the Theologian, where hospitality was given in the trapeza according to custom, and as the pilgrims gathered modestly to the glory of the Beloved Disciple, there was raised a long and curious debate among the elders: Who is the greateast, the Honorable Forerunner who baptized Jesus, or John the Theologian who leaned on His chest? Many reasons were exchanged during this pious rivalry and a solution was not reached. Suddenly a beautiful cup, full of wine in the middle of the table, broke in two pieces.
This event was considered very important. Hieromonk Paisios was then inspired to weigh the two pieces, and they were the exact same weight.
The Elders then rose up and praised God, Who through this sign gave the right solution to the discussion, showing that like the Holy Trinity is equal in honor, so the two saints should have the same honor, the Honorable Forerunner and the Beloved John the Theologian.
