Odd, isn’t it, how few of Britain’s national art collections are housed in beautiful buildings. It’s as though the architects of Tate Britain and the National Galleries of England, Scotland and Wales thought that municipal grandeur was all that was required. Smaller museums and galleries tend to be better, but not much.
Among the exceptions is the Holburne Museum in Bath, a late 18th-century neoclassical gem built to close off the vista at the end of Great Pultney Street, like the Roman temple a renaissance artist places at the vanishing point in a perspectival drawing. Built as a hotel adjacent to 18th-century pleasure gardens, the building’s origins explain why the Holburne is elegant rather than imposing, and why its façade faces the city, while the rear looks out over a park.
After falling into a state of neglect at the end of the 19th century, the building was remodelled as a museum in 1913-16 by Sir Reginald Blomfeld to display the collection of silver, majolica, Dutch pictures and renaissance bronzes accumulated by Sir William Holburne, which was bequeathed to the city of Bath after his death in 1874.
By that time Sydney Gardens had become a public park – with a railway running through what had once been its woodland area. Disdainful of such vulgarity, Blomfeld closed off access to the gardens from the back of the building, changing its orientation so that visitors were hardly aware of its parkland setting.
Inside, there was space enough to display the core collection, but the galleries felt cramped and claustrophobic. As gifts and purchases came in over the decades, only about half of what the museum owned could be displayed.
By the end of the 20th century, the Holburne had become dignified but shabby – an elderly aunt who was nice to visit if you happened to be in Bath, but not worth a special journey to see. Now, thanks to life support from the National Lottery and the energies of the museum’s trustee chairman, David Posnett, and director, Alexander Sturgis, the old girl has been reborn, renewed, re-vamped, and recharged.
As you’ll see when it reopens on Saturday, the Holburne has been made better than ever and good for another 300 years. The extension and renovation, designed by Eric Parry, is sensational, an architectural tour de force that stands out – even in this country, where a new museum, renovation or extension seems to open every month.
In practical terms, Parry has doubled the display space and provided much-needed, top-lit galleries for temporary exhibitions. But his aesthetic achievement is even more extraordinary. By moving Blomfield’s central staircase nine or so feet to the left of the entrance hall, he creates a glassed-in restaurant area leading directly on to the park, neatly re-integrating the building into its original setting. From the moment visitors cross the threshold, they see straight through to the light, air and greenery in the distance. Thanks to Parry, the Holburne functions once again as a gateway to the gardens at the back.
And yet, from the front, the building looks much as it did in Jane Austen’s day. Only when you walk round the side to the back is the ultra-modern extension visible, creating a suitably 18th-century dichotomy between town and country, nature and artifice, and sense and sensibility. Fears that Parry’s three-storey glass and ceramic structure would intrude insensitively into the historic garden prove unfounded. Despite its scale, the building feels airy and light. As I stood watching the constantly moving reflections of leaves and clouds in the glass, for a split second I had the illusion that the new building had disappeared.
Though I grasp that modern museums must have education departments, lecture theatres and restaurants, I only go to them to look at the art. As long as the pictures are well displayed, lit and labelled, I’m happy. So, however good Parry’s building is and however necessary the new facilities are, for me the success or failure of the project ultimately depends on the exhibition designers Metaphor, masters of the art of museum installation.
Through their thoughtful intervention, the works of art have been re-presented and reinterpreted in a way that balances visual pizazz with the need to place the collection within its historic context.
The Holburne is a relatively small museum with great strengths in areas such as baroque and rococo painting and decorative art, but nothing much in the way of 19th-century or early 20th-century art. On the main floor, the aquamarine walls of a magnificent gallery looking out over Great Pultney Street are hung with small-scale 17th-century Italian and Flemish pictures, which complement the stunning collections of silver, Italian Renaissance majolica and bronzes.
Across the landing on the same level, we move into the new extension – and to a gallery devoted to Sir William as a collector. At once the atmosphere changes and we find ourselves in a domestically scaled space, crammed from floor to ceiling with Dutch genre and landscape paintings, and with ivories, fans, cameos, embroideries, medals, and ceramics covering every flat surface.
For the first time, Sir William comes into focus as a person — a fussy bachelor whose not very large house in Cavendish Crescent in Bath must have been as crowded and atmospheric as the Sir John Soane’s Museum.
But the climax of the visit is yet to come. Mounting the staircase to the second level, you find yourself standing in a large, top-lit gallery lined with the stupendous 18th-century British paintings that came to the museum after Sir William’s death. They include meltingly lovely, full-length Gainsboroughs, Jonathan Richardson’s wonderful Garton Orme at the Spinet, a first-rate portrait group by Stubbs, and my favourite of all Sir Joshua Reynolds’s works, the infinitely touching Admiral Francis Holburne and his son Sir Francis (on loan from the National Maritime Museum).
The emphasis on portraiture here plays an important psychological role in a visit to the Holburne. For until we come to this section, the pictures we see are of gods and goddesses and carousing Dutch peasants, but few “real” people of the sort who once might have walked the streets of Bath and taken its waters. If ever there was the perfect setting in which to show portraits of 18th-century aristocrats and actors, soldiers and spinsters, churchmen and children, this is it. Three cheers, five stars, and a round of drinks for everyone involved in making the project happen.
Finally, in the temporary exhibition space Peter Blake brings us up to date with an exhibition called A Museum for Myself, that feels just right for the reopening of a museum founded by an obsessive collector. Blake shows puppets, shell boxes and teapots and a collection of toy animals, matchboxes and nuts and bolts – a cabinet of kitsch.

Apple dragged Israeli spyware maker NSO Group to court for targeting and surveilling iPhone and Mac users around the world. Interestingly, the foundation of this case was based on one residual file left by the spyware on an iPhone belonging to Saudi women’s rights activist Loujain al-Hathloul. Here’s the story of the discovery that turned the tide against NSO Group.
The NSO Group’s Pegasus spyware was found targeting several journalists, activists, and politicians in various parts of the world. The tool was intended for sale to governments for undetectable domestic surveillance. It was first caught in the wild when Al-Hathloul found a mysterious fake image file left on her iPhone by the spyware. The activist was imprisoned until February 2021 for “harming national security.” Upon her release, Google warned her that state-backed entities attempted to access her Gmail account. The activist was afraid her iPhone had been compromised as well. So, she requested Canadian privacy rights group Citizen Lab to sift through her iPhone’s files for evidence of hacking.
Al-Hathloul told Reuters that after six months, Citizen Lab researcher Bill Marczak made an “unprecedented discovery” in the form of the fake image file. The file contained code that directly linked NSO Group to the espionage tool used to hack Al-Hathloul’s iPhone. The spyware was communicating with servers Citizen Lab had previously linked to NSO Group. The report states that Marczak’s analysis was corroborated by Amnesty International researchers and Apple itself. Marczak says this discovery was a proverbial “shell casing from the crime scene.” It provides unshakeable evidence that cyberespionage tools can access the victim’s devices undetected, without any manual input from them.
Zero-click malware attacks, such as the one used to attack Al-Hathloul, usually delete themselves after infecting the victim’s device. This leaves security researchers with no breadcrumbs that could lead back to the spyware developers and attackers. The method used to compromise the Saudi activist’s iPhone was eventually named “ForcedEntry.” Apple was given samples of the exploit in September 2021 and the iOS 14.8 update patched this vulnerability. Subsequently, another Israeli vendor called QuaDream was found exploiting the ForcedEntry exploit.
Would Pegasus have been discovered if it hadn’t left any traces on Al-Hathloul’s iPhone? Tell us what you think in the comments section![Via Reuters]

Although biofuels have recently taken the blame for some of the increase in global food prices, there is emerging something of an irony – that the higher price of corn is threatening to slow down the production of ethanol.
In 2007, the US ethanol production capacity was about 8.4 billion gallons and was expected to increase to about 11.4 billion gallons in 2008. That, we are told would have increased corn demand by one billion bushels; from 3 billion bushels in 2007 to 4 billion in 2008. But now, both the capacity expansion and the increase in corn usage are in jeopardy.
Early last year, ethanol plants were making as much as 53 cents per gallon profit but, currently, after a year of losses – sometimes reaching 22 cents a gallon - net returns range from 8-16 cents per gallon.
Ostensibly, with the increase in crude prices, causing gasoline and ethanol prices to rise, the profitability should be good. Unfortunately, the corn feedstock price has risen even more on a percentage basis.
Some smaller plants, plus a few larger plants that were having trouble with financing arrangements, have already shut down. Some 16 ethanol plants either were in bankruptcy or are preparing to file for bankruptcy. Many small and medium sized plants are expected to be mothballed until profit margins improve. Many of the larger plants are working at less than full capacity.
Adding to the woes is the high price of diesel, making hauling grain long distances prohibitively expensive, while grain drying is also adding to the costs of some farmers.
In 2008, therefore, US ethanol production will probably not reach its government mandated target of 9 billion gallons. Production overall will not increase much if at all this year. As a result, commentators expect some farmers to cut back acreage under production next season.
This is an odd situation. One would expect higher the higher prices of gasoline to drive ethanol production, and for farmers to be getting rich on the proceeds, but this isn't happening. In this game, as elsewhere, input costs are the decisive factor.

Blocking activation of a death receptor enhances axonal regeneration and functional recovery in an animal model of spinal cord injury
May 13, 2004
Catherine Barthélémy; Christopher E Henderson
Developmental Biology Institute of Marseille, Marseille, France
Nat Med 10(4):339-340, 2004
Spinal cord injury will permanently handicap about 1 in 1,000 individuals over the course of their lifetime. Much effort has been devoted to understanding the complex cellular changes that develop after injury, and to inventing ways to overcome the poor capacity of the adult spinal cord for spontaneous regeneration. Programmed cell death within the damaged tissue is one of these changes, but whether it hinders recovery has been controversial.
In this issue, Demjen et al. show that the death receptor CD95/Fas is a major trigger of cell death in the injured spinal cord. They find that mice treated with neutralizing antibodies to CD95/Fas recover from a spinal cord lesion that leaves untreated animals heavily handicapped. This shows that keeping cells alive at the lesion site promotes subsequent recovery, and provides a potential tool for doing so in human patients.
Programmed cell death is a tightly regulated process that can be initiated by diverse stimuli, including extracellular signals acting at specific receptors such as CD95/Fas and tumor necrosis factor (TNF) receptor. Both of these receptors have a predominant role in apoptosis (hence the commonly used term 'death receptor'), but they can activate a variety of other pathways and cellular phenomena. In the nervous system, CD95/Fas activation can lead to cell death of neurons and glial cells, but also to enhanced axonal growth. CD95/Fas may have an important role in pathological degeneration in vivo: CD95/Fas and its ligand, CD95L/FasL, have been implicated in cell death after nerve transection, ischemia, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson disease and Alzheimer disease.
After spinal cord injury in human patients and in animal models, some cells at the lesion site die by post-traumatic necrosis, whereas others, including oligodendrocytes, die by apoptosis. In line with this, spinal cord trauma leads to increased expression of death receptors and their ligands, as well as to activation of death-promoting caspases. Initial experiments showed that caspase inhibition has a protective effect in models of spinal cord injury, providing the first indication that reducing cell death might be beneficial. Others, however, have observed no protection. Further uncertainty about the role of cell death arose when it was shown that inactivation of TNF or its receptor did not improve prognosis.
These ambiguous results probably reflect the known capacity of TNF to be both pro- and antiapoptotic. Demjen et al. therefore asked instead whether a less ambivalent death receptor, CD95/Fas, might be involved. They first confirmed that in their model, spinal cord injury led to rapid upregulation of the components of the CD95/Fas system and to increased apoptosis (measured as the number of neurons and oligodendrocytes with fragmented nuclear DNA). Intraperitoneal injection of blocking antibodies to CD95L/FasL at the time of injury led to a 60% reduction in the number of dying cells three days later. When analyzed up to one month after injury and treatment, animals showed significant functional recovery in behavioral tests of reflexive and voluntary motor function. This recovery was correlated with increased sprouting and regrowth of descending corticospinal fibers toward the lesion, and with decreased loss of staining for myelin basic protein, a marker for myelinating oligodendrocytes. On the basis of these results, Demjen et al. propose that the CD95/Fas system be considered a new therapeutic target.
A true understanding of how antibodies to CD95/Fas reduce cell death and enhance recovery will require more detailed knowledge. The cellular source and target of the ligand in damaged spinal cord need to be identified, and the links between axonal sprouting and recovery of motor function need to be defined.
Nonetheless, the following model (Fig. 1) may apply: After injury, CD95L/FasL is upregulated at the lesion site on neurons, astrocytes and invading lymphocytes and microglia. CD95L/FasL triggers death of oligodendrocytes and local spinal interneurons, resulting in an environment that is not favorable to regrowth of descending corticospinal axons. Preventing cell death provides an environment more conducive to spontaneous regeneration, and formation of new circuits leads to functional recovery in voluntary motor tests.
Figure 1. Suicide prevention. (a) As reported by Demjen et al., spinal cord injury induces increased expression of the death receptor CD95/Fas by neurons, lymphocytes, microglia and oligodendrocytes at the lesion site. In parallel, the natural ligand CD95L/FasL is upregulated on neurons, astrocytes, lymphocytes and microglia. CD95/Fas activation by paracrine or autocrine mechanisms, or both, results in cell death of neurons and oligodendrocytes, considerably modifying the environment in which reparative axon regeneration needs to occur. (b) Blocking CD95L/FasL by intraperitoneal injection of a specific antibody protects spinal neurons and oligodendrocytes from CD95/Fas-induced death and permits axonal regrowth and functional recovery.
This model may in some respects be reductionist. For example, it ignores the possible role of autocrine CD95/Fas activation, and possible effects of CD95L/FasL or the blocking antibodies on more distant targets such as circulating lymphocytes or the corticospinal neurons themselves.
What remains to be done before these findings can lead to tests in human patients, in parallel with the wide range of other strategies being developed? Several differences with the clinical setting are apparent. First, the lesion used here (surgical transection of the spinal cord) is quite different from human cases of spinal cord injury, many of which result from local compression. Second, for the behavioral experiments mice were treated with antibodies immediately before injury. Clearly, protocols will need to be developed to deliver antibodies to the lesion site within the human CNS at later stages. Third, the oncogenic risks of blocking cell death cannot be ignored, although the authors point out that these risks should be minor over short periods of treatment.
As with other experimental strategies, many questions remain to be addressed. The experimental paradigm of Demjen et al. is particularly stringent, meaning that functional recovery may be greater in other models. The new work thus firmly places a new actor on the list of players in spinal cord repair.

UNICEF says world has not done enough for children
Monday, 13 December 1999: Despite the great strides that have been made for children over the course of the last century, the world enters a new millennium with many promises to its youngest citizens still unfulfilled, UNICEF said today. A lack of commitment by world leaders across the globe means that children continue to be killed, injured and exposed to abuse and exploitation in flagrant violation of their rights.
|Speaking at the international launch of The State of the World's Children 2000, UNICEF's year-end survey, Executive Director Carol Bellamy said that, throughout the developing world, HIV/AIDS, armed conflict and deep poverty are reversing gains made over the past century and endangering the survival, development and protection of millions of children. She noted that advances in science and technology have helped push polio to the brink of eradication and drastically reduced deaths caused by measles.||
Audio clips: UNICEF Executive Director Carol Bellamy (these require the RealPlayer, from Real Networks)
Reducing poverty's impact (596 KB)
"At the same time, a vacuum of leadership has allowed the merciless targeting of children and women in armed conflict, the frightening transformation of AIDS into the number one killer in Africa and a devastating free-fall in development assistance to the poorest nations," Bellamy said. "If we don't seize the start of the new millennium to solve the terrifying plight faced by our children, then we are guilty of contributing to their suffering and to the wholesale abuse of their rights. The choice is ours."
Bellamy observed that the social and technological changes that shaped the 20th century held great promise for improving the health and development of children. Smallpox was extinguished and immunisation against basic childhood diseases offered hope to hundreds of millions of children. Iodine supplements became widespread, eliminating a major cause of mental retardation. Basic education was extended to the majority of the planet's children. Millions of children were freed from the yoke of harsh labour. And in 1989, the world recognised that children had basic rights and embodied them in the Convention on the Rights of the Child, the most widely-adopted human rights instrument in history.
But the report notes that ambitious commitments made to children by the world's governments at the start of the 1990's have not been fulfilled, due largely to a lack of leadership. This failure has magnified the impact of entirely preventable calamities, including:
Children fortunate enough to escape the grim reality of poverty, conflict and HIV/AIDS still cannot escape violations of their basic rights because public health, social services and education suffer from a lack of adequate investment.
For example, while the number of under-five deaths continues to decline in developing countries as a whole, children's health in sub-Saharan Africa is still under severe threat. Some 4.1 million children in the region under the age of five died last year, compared to 3.3 million in 1980.
In 25 countries - all but one of them in Africa -- a child born today will not live to be 50, while a baby born in the wealthiest countries has an average life expectancy of 78 years. And 130 million children in the developing world do not have access to basic primary education, 60 per cent of them girls. In 30 countries half of the population over age15 cannot read or write. In 29 countries, less than 15 per cent of girls attend secondary school.
Bellamy announced a three-pronged new agenda to tackle the major challenges facing children as they enter the 21st century, which combines early childhood care and development, basic education and a renewed focus on adolescents.
"The world has the resources and experience to know what works for children. The time has come for us to put our words into action. If we do, we can make significant changes for children within a single generation," Bellamy said.
She said that commitment by the governments of Thailand and Uganda had created AIDS programs with UNICEF support that have become the prototypes for a vast expansion of the campaign against HIV/AIDS. And in 29 nations, UNICEF has helped support efforts to provide educational opportunities for working children who do not attend school. There are now some 130 million children not in school in the developing world and an estimated 250 million working children aged between five and 14 years.
"If the rights of all are truly honoured," she said, "a generation from now, prosperity will not be limited to today's wealthy, HIV/AIDS will be in retreat everywhere, and the cruel, protracted violence of armed conflicts will gradually vanish from the world's political horizon. Children who would otherwise remain in danger will then be free to grow and play and learn -- secure and in good health. Why? Because, finally, the world honoured its obligations to its children and said the only world worth having is fair and just toward all."

Sadness seeps grey, mist filled
Onto each page, tear-stained, ink quilled
Until all the sad words I know or have learned
Are transferred from heart to paper. Almost spurned
By tears that cannot be cried. Instead they well up in my eyes,
Painfully unshed,cursed by ill-will and lies.
So I allow my cat to curl up, comfortably on my lap.
His melodic purr as I stroke him, breaches an engulfing gap
Between a reason to live and the taboo of suicide.
Depression’s companion, he’s out on the edge; likes to hide,
But you know he’s there present, in your here and now!
A sort of grim reaper, following the rusty old plough.
But as long as I can identify a reason to live.
He has to walk on by and my mind like a sieve;
Has to stop the water from dripping through.
Me? Use the suicide word, did I? I really did!
Sieving dripping water will I ever be rid of Depression?

Sarah Palin for President in 2012?
Sarah Palin lost out in her bid to be America's Vice-President under John McCain, but she is now hitting the media rounds in force, suggesting a comeback.
With her new book coming out many are arguing the book tour may be an early campaign trail push to run for US president in 2012.Megan Carpentier, an associate editor at Talking Points Memo, explained that it is possible she is trying to get out the vote in advance.“I think it’s clear from the way that she’s positioned the book that she is looking at Barack Obama as a competitor. There’s no mentions of Nancy Pelosi or Harry Reid. There’s nothing about Congress. It’s very much about her movement and her criticism of the current president,” said Carpentier.Conservative radio talk show host and Tea Party activist Tony Katz said it is unclear if she is trying to begin an advance campaign. He said he doesn’t know if she has plans to run, and that she may not yet know whether she plans to either, but he said everything thrown her way she takes it with grace. “She is the most popular person in America. Her family are the most popular people in America. They are loved and adored,” said Katz. “She puts forth a thesis that is about America and loving America. People really are attracted to that and that runs juxtaposed to Obama. So it’s no wonder that in these books and in these conversations she is more directed at Obama.” Looking to the future, Palin has said she was not interested in being a distraction or preventing the Republican Party from winning against Obama, even if that meant she would have to restrain from running. “I never deny the GOP in America the opportunity to shoot themselves in the foot,” said Katz. “If there is a way to screw up this election, the establishment GOP will figure out how to do that.”He explained there is likely to be a large field of candidates seeking the Republican nomination, which will lead to a great deal of fighting to secure a simple party candidate that satisfies independents, moderates, the Republican Party establishment and the Tea Party. Sarah Palin has a strong minority Tea Party base. “She is very loved within a certain part of the Republican Party,” said Carpentier. Very little of what Palin wrote in her books appeals to those outside her current base. The content and ideas do not appeal to moderates, liberals or mainstream Republicans, explained said Carpentier. Thus she is not likely to rally the numbers needed to beat Obama.Both Katz and Carpentier said the Bristol Palin / Dancing with the Stars controversy is hyped. Neither felt there was some conspiracy by the Tea Party to secure a dancing win. That does not mean that some Palin supporters did not choose to vote for Bristol based on that reasoning. The biggest issue to most fans of the Dancing with the Stars show was that the show began to become political, something it was not designed to be, explained Carpentier.“It’s a dance competition show, it’s not a referendum on Sarah Palin,” said Katz. John Romano, a conservative columnist and the publisher of YesButHowever.com, said Palin’s book tour is in fact an early campaign start.“She is definitely running,” he said. Romano explained that the book tour, her Fox News positions, her family’s reality show and her daughter Bristol appearing on Dancing with the Stars are all calculated moves toward a presidential run in 2012.This is a new approach to campaigning; one Palin and her advisors are taking to extreme levels. “When politicians say they are not running, they might be running anyway,” Romano said. “No ones come out to say they aren’t running anyway.”Republican candidates are not addressing a run for the president in the traditional fashion. They are all seeking a new approach, Palin included. The question is what kind of candidate do the Republicans need to run in order to win in 2012. “I do not think it’s a Mitt Romney or a Mike Huckabee. They are too old school. It’s not going to work,” argued Romano.But, he did admit, “Sarah Palin is a risk.”Palin has the potential, he argued, to fix the US economy, restore American leadership and address the multitude of domestic and international issues the US Office of the President must tackle.

On my travels over the week i popped into the V&A to see Mat Collishaw's Magic Lantern installation. Situated at the top of the V&A building Collishaw has constructed a giant 3-D Zoetrope which gives the illusion of moths flying around a lantern.
Unfortunately a 3D Zoetrope requires strobe lighting to work effectively, so as it was day time we couldn't view it. Instead i made my way into the V&A garden to see the smaller scale version which, with a bit of screen trickery can still operate in daylight.
For those interested there is a short video of the piece as well as a talk with Collishaw on the V&A website here.

Due to its location within the typhoon belt, the Philippines is vulnerable to tropical cyclones that can cause destructive ?oods. Climate change is likely to exacerbate these risks through increases in tropical cyclone frequency and intensity. To protect populations and infrastructure, disaster risk management in the Philippines focuses on real-time ?ood forecasting and structural measures such as dikes and retaining walls. Real-time ?ood forecasting in the Philippines mostly utilises two models from the Hydrologic Engineering Center (HEC): the Hydrologic Modeling System (HMS) for watershed modelling, and the River Analysis System (RAS) for inundation modelling. This research focuses on using non-structural measures for ?ood mitigation, such as changing land use management or watershed rehabilitation. This is being done by parameterising and applying the Land Utilisation and Capability Indicator (LUCI) model to the Cagayan de Oro watershed (1400km2) in southern Philippines. The LUCI model is capable of identifying areas providing ecosystem services such as ?ood mitigation and agricultural productivity, and analysing trade-offs between services. It can also assess whether management interventions could enhance or degrade ecosystem services at ?ne spatial scales. The LUCI model was used to identify areas within the watershed that are providing ?ood mitigating services and areas that would bene?t from management interventions. For the preliminary comparison, LUCI and HEC-HMS were run under the same scenario: baseline land use and the extreme rainfall event of Typhoon Bopha. The hydrographs from both models were then input to HEC-RAS to produce inundation maps. The novelty of this research is two-fold: (1) this type of ecosystem service modelling has not been carried out in the Cagayan de Oro watershed; and (2) this is the ?rst application of the LUCI model in the Philippines. Since this research is still ongoing, the results presented in this paper are preliminary. As the land use and soil parameterisation for this watershed are re?ned and more scenarios are run through the model, more robust comparisons can be made between the hydrographs produced by LUCI and HEC-HMS and how those differences affect the inundation map produced by HEC-RAS.

Gillingham v Portsmouth preview: League One clash live on Sky Sports
Last Updated: 06/10/17 11:53am
Gillingham caretaker boss Peter Taylor must do without suspended forward Tom Eaves and midfielder Mark Byrne for Sunday's televised Sky Bet League One clash against Portsmouth.
Taylor made six changes for the midweek Checkatrade Trophy win at Colchester, so the likes of Lee Martin, Gabriel Zakuani and Conor Wilkinson should all come back in. Defender Luke O'Neill has been sidelined by a hamstring problem and Alex Lacey an ankle injury, while midfielder Billy Bingham continues to recover from a concussion in training earlier this month.

Midfielder Scott Wagstaff and defender Bradley Garmston and are stepping up recovery for their respective calf injuries. Aaron Morris (knee) remains a long-term absentee.
Pompey defender Christian Burgess will be assessed on a head injury along with Nathan Thompson (calf), with manager Kenny Jackett hoping his defensive crisis will ease. Damien McCrory has undergone surgery on the knee injury which has seen the defender miss Pompey's last four matches, so midfielders Dion Donohue and Gareth Evans are likely to fill the full-back roles, with striker Oliver Hawkins partnering Matt Clarke at centre-back should Burgess and Thompson not make it.
Portsmouth will be without forward Conor Chaplin, who has suffered a recurrence of a hamstring problem. Top-scorer Brett Pitman is recovering from keyhole knee surgery, while also having an operation to fix his broken nose, so last season's top scorer Kal Naismith could return to the starting XI.
This is the first meeting between the sides in the third tier since March 1983, when Gillingham won 1-0.
Pompey haven't kept a clean sheet in their last eight trips to the Priestfield Stadium in all competitions (16 goals conceded) since winning 1-0 in November 1980.
Gillingham's tally of seven points is their lowest total after 11 games in the third-tier since 1988/89 (assuming three points for a win); they were relegated that year.
Portsmouth have won just one of their opening five away league games this season (D1 L3); they had won six of their last seven on the road on their way to promotion last season.
Joint-top scorer in League One Brett Pitman has scored as many goals in 11 league games this season as many as he had in his previous 46 prior to joining Pompey (nine).
Gillingham have been on a dreadful run of form and it's no surprise that they find themselves so far down the table and in a bit of trouble already. There's an awful long way to go but they need to turn things around quickly.
I can't see that happening on Sunday, though, and I fancy Portsmouth to head to Priestfield and get the victory.
Prutton predicts: 1-2 with Oliver Hawkins to score first (28/1 with Sky Bet)

research launched Wednesday confirmed mindfulness meditation was simply as efficient as medicine for treating anxiousness.
The research printed by JAMA Psychiatry requested the query, “Is mindfulness-based stress discount noninferior to escitalopram for the therapy of tension problems?”
The six-month trial concerned 208 adults with anxiousness problems in Washington, Boston and New York. The trial concerned two teams: one devoted to mindfulness and the opposite that took medicine.
The researchers used a scale from 1-7 to weigh the extent of members’ anxiousness. The typical rating was about 4.5 firstly and progressively lowered in each teams all through the research.
Their findings concluded that “mindfulness-based stress discount was a well-tolerated therapy choice with comparable effectiveness to a first-line medicine for sufferers with anxiousness problems.”
The research is a primary of its type that has examined the effectiveness of meditation for normal anxiousness. Many individuals insist that meditation helps them calm their thoughts when achieved correctly.
The researchers defined that the significance of the research is to assist put actual science and details behind an efficient anxiousness therapy as some authorised therapies have nonetheless proved to not achieve success for some.
The World Well being Group reported in March that after the pandemic there was a 25% improve within the prevalence of tension and despair worldwide.
“Nervousness problems are widespread, extremely distressing, and impairing circumstances. Efficient therapies exist, however many sufferers don’t entry or reply to them. Mindfulness-based interventions, corresponding to mindfulness-based stress discount, are in style and might lower anxiousness, however it’s unknown how they examine to straightforward first-line therapies,” the research mentioned.

We have three fire “stations” located along the Big Sur coast between Hurricane Point on the north, and the San Luis Obispo County line to the south.
Station #1, our first real fire station was built in 1992 and is our headquarters fire station. Station #1 is a 8000 square foot building located on the Post Ranch Inn property in the heart of the Big Sur village. Station #1 contains our our office, training center, and the majority of our equipment and apparatus. The station houses our Type I and III engines, a 1500 gallon water tender, a 4000 gallon water tender, a rescue vehicle, and a small quick response pick up outfitted with water, foam and emergency equipment. Additionally, the Big Sur Firehouse is home to a County sponsored American Medical Response ambulance with a 24-hour paramedic team serving the Big Sur community.
Station #2 is located at the South Coast Center along the coast at the Esalen Institute. Station #2 houses one rescue vehicle and one type III engine.
Station #4, we are saving room for a future Station #3, is at the Willow Springs CALTRANS yard and houses one Type IV engine and a rescue vehicle year round. We supplement Station #4 with an additional engine or water tender during the summer fire season.


Nigeria has embarked on a massive vaccination campaign following the death of at least 20 people from yellow fever southeast of the country. The deaths have been documented in the Ebonyi State in recent weeks. Government has partnered with the World Health Organisation (WHO) and the Vaccine Alliance for the vaccination exercise that targets 1.6 million people aged 9 months to 44 years old.
“This vaccination campaign will be a crucial activity to stop the spread of the outbreak and ensure that all people at highest risk are safe,” said Dr Clement Peter, Officer in Charge, WHO Nigeria. The response to the outbreak in Ebonyi is part of the global strategy to eliminate yellow fever epidemics by 2026. It is expected that more than 75 million people in Nigeria will be protected against the disease by the end of 2021.
Yellow fever is an acute viral ailment transmitted by infected mosquitoes. Nigeria has reported more than 3 900 suspected cases since the onset of the outbreak in late 2017. The West African country, which is the continent’s most populous with over 192 million people, is vulnerable to disease outbreaks. It is also battling cases of the Lassa fever, which is transmitted by mice, and intermittent eruptions of the water borne cholera disease.


Late on Jan. 1, Israel’s highest court struck down a controversial judicial overhaul law enacted last year by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s government that would have limited the justices’ power. The ruling was supported by eight members of the court and opposed by seven, a razor-thin margin that is reflective of the divide within Israel itself over the judicial overhaul plan.
The court’s decision could revive the deep political and social tensions generated by the judicial reform effort last year, even as the country struggles to recover from the brutality of the Oct. 7 Hamas attacks and tries to cope with an ongoing war in Gaza.
The ruling addressed a central piece of the judicial overhaul that Netanyahu was pushing before the Gaza war erupted. The law, which was passed last July, took away the court’s power to abrogate government decisions it finds to be “unreasonable in the extreme.” The law was part of a larger package of reform legislation promoted by the Netanyahu government that is designed to limit the court’s powers and give more control to lawmakers.
Proponents of the law argued that activist, liberal judges control the court, and that legislation was necessary to restore a proper balance of powers. Opponents argued that the legislation undermines the court’s role as a check on executive power and abuse and threatened to erode Israel’s democratic balance of powers.
Israel does not have a written constitution. It relies on a series of basic laws, which have special, quasi-constitutional status, to lay out the basic principles of how the state will operate. The basic laws have been treated by Israel’s courts as the country’s constitution.
Although the vote to strike down the law was by a narrow 8-7 margin, the same justices voted 12-3 in favor of the proposition that the court has the right to strike down a basic law in “unusual and extreme cases,” where a law is deemed to go against the core principles of Israel as a Jewish and democratic state.
Israel’s supreme court has never before struck down one of the country’s basic laws. So, the ruling is significant. And but for the fact that a draft of the decision was leaked to the press the day before the ruling was issued, many speculate that the court would have otherwise been reluctant to issue such a closely divided and consequential ruling while the country is embroiled in a draining war effort.
But the opinion has been issued and could reawaken the pre-war political divide within the country over the judicial overhaul plan. This is so particularly since it comes at a time of mounting accusations of government distraction, incompetence, weakness and feckless leadership that has been bubbling to the surface in recent weeks.
The ruling coalition has legislative options it can pursue to address several of the concerns of some of the justices, or directly limit the ability of the court to strike down basic laws. But any such move at this time will only exacerbate an already volatile reality in Israel. The better course is to do absolutely nothing, for now.
Instead, Israel needs to focus on the war effort and a secure return of the hostages while developing a plan for post-war Gaza and rebuilding confidence in government and leadership. There will be plenty of time to address the issues of Israel’s basic laws once that is done.

I showed both ways here so you can compare the difference. The filler stamps are kind of loose and free-form - not meant to match the line art exactly. That makes it less stressful in trying to line everything up!
The first card was stamped with Memento black ink, and the filler for the flowers was inked with Rich Razzleberry, stamped off once. The leaves are Old Olive, also stamped off, and the bow is Bermuda Bay.
The second card was stamped in black like the first, but I colored the image with Stampin' Blends Markers. I have to tell you, as much as I LOVE coloring, if I needed a quick card, I'd go for the filler stamps. When I get the Stamparatus (stamp positioning tool), I'll show you how quick and easy it is to do 2-Step stamping!
I wanted a scripty "Hello" greeting, and found it in the Eastern Beauty stamp set. I did use Basic Black Archival ink, because it stamps darker than the Memento. I just couldn't use it with the Stampin' Blends!
That yummy Lemon Lime Twist DSP is in the new Tutti-Frutti DSP stack, and pairs perfectly with the LLT 3/8" Mini Striped Ribbon. As you can see, it's supple enough to make a nice bow.
