Avast and Vodafone launch Family Security app
Three million Vodafone customers in the Czech Republic have access to the new Family Security app, aimed at keeping children safe online.
Earlier this year, we announced the partnership between Avast and Vodafone to create a specialized family safety app for three million Vodafone customers in the Czech Republic. On October 1, the Vodafone Family Security app was launched for Android 5.0 and higher. Next month, the app goes live for iOS X and higher.
The app is designed to help parents keep their children safe online by allowing them to:
- Filter content according to age groups
- Filter and disable unsuitable websites and apps, such as those that promote gambling, violent content, and adult content
- Block internet access and limit the time children spend online, for example by only allowing children to browse during certain hours of the day
- Set up safe locations in the app, such as school or a friend’s house, which will always send notifications when the child arrives at one of them
Our partnership with Vodafone, focused on developing and delivering a customized version of our parental control app, demonstrates the value of our carrier collaboration strategy. Mobile devices provide convenience for families on the go, but they also create challenges, as children can be exposed to inappropriate content. Parents using our app will be able to ensure their children are digitally safe, through the management of their web and app access, as well as physically safe, through the app’s ability to pinpoint physical location.
“At Vodafone, we’re constantly trying to understand our customers’ needs,” Petr Dvorak, CEO of Vodafone Czech Republic comments. “We see a clear requirement by parents to protect their children in the online world. According to the most recent EU Kids online study, the vast majority of children access the internet via mobile devices. We see ourselves as mobile operators in charge of providing parental control features, and Avast is a strong partner and trusted brand who already has a track record in providing strong solutions.”
Later this year, Vodafone Czech Republic will offer the Vodafone Security app, also based on Avast mobile security technology. The new app will protect Vodafone customers from mobile cyberthreats and risks including malware, Wi-Fi vulnerabilities, and device loss.
Avast partners globally with a number of carriers, including all major mobile carriers in the United States, to provide carrier grade solutions covering on-device, data, physical and network protection.

The Pro Bono Program at Appellate Advocates
Appellate Advocates is proud to work with the nation’s top law firms and legal organizations as part of our Pro Bono Program. As described below, our Pro Bono Program provides attorneys in private practice with the opportunity to represent clients in the direct appeal of their felony convictions, in resentencing applications under the Domestic Violence Survivors Justice Act, and in clemency applications.
A fundamental component of each pro bono case is the training and guidance provided by Appellate Advocates. In addition to directly supervising each case, we provide pro bono attorneys with sample briefs, training materials, and feedback.
These pro bono matters provide mid-level associates, with prior appellate or litigation experience, with a lead role in representing clients in the direct appeals of their felony convictions. Each appeal has been selected based on our internal screening process, and each client has consented to being part of our Pro Bono Program. After being assigned their cases, the associates, under the mentorship of our Senior Staff Attorneys, are trained to evaluate the trial records, identify appellate issues, draft appellate briefs, and argue the appeals in the Appellate Division, Second Department. The associates are also mooted extensively in advance of their oral arguments. Should cases advance to the Court of Appeals, the associates can continue their lead role, briefing and arguing the cases in New York’s highest court.
Domestic Violence Survivors Justice Act (“DVSJA”)
These pro bono matters provide teams of attorneys, with litigation and non-litigation experience, with an opportunity to represent clients in their applications for resentencing under the DVSJA—which was enacted in 2019 to shorten the prison sentences for domestic violence victims. Working closely with our attorneys who specialize in DVSJA cases, our social work and re-entry staff, and our DVSJA clients, the pro bono teams will provide sensitive, client-focused representation to help courts and district attorney’s offices understand the relationship between our clients’ prior trauma and their offenses.
These pro bono matters provide attorneys, with litigation and non-litigation experience, with an opportunity to petition the New York Governor’s Executive Clemency Bureau for relief in the form of sentence commutations and pardons. Working with Release Aging People in Prison (“RAPP”), Appellate Advocates trains attorneys to put together a comprehensive clemency packet for clients for whom continued incarceration or a record of conviction is particularly harmful while serving no societal purpose.
Our Current Pro Bono Partners
Appellate Advocates is immensely grateful to the following firms for their pro bono legal services:

Stocks pull back at open
Wall Street retreats after Dow's more than 400-point rally, with the focus switching to corporate earnings.
NEW YORK†(CNNMoney.com) -- Stocks slipped Tuesday morning, as investors backtracked after the previous session's big 413-point rally for the Dow Jones industrial average.
Lending rates improved, giving the market some reassurance that the government's attempts to stabilize the financial markets are starting to have an impact.
Stocks that had led the previous session's rally paced the early retreat Tuesday, including oil services firms, financials and technology. Meanwhile, the focus turned to the third-quarter corporate reporting period, which heats up this week.
British and French stocks were higher in morning trading, buoyed by a plan by the French government to inject $14 billion more into banks and Wall Street's rally. But British stocks lost their momentum and slipped at midday. Shares in Japan gained for a third straight session.
The dollar gained versus the euro and the British pound, but fell against the yen.
Corporate results: This week is thick with quarterly results, with some 140 companies from the S&P 500 reporting.
Caterpillar (CAT, Fortune 500), maker of earth-movers, reported a dip in third-quarter earnings to $1.39 per share, or $868 million, compared to the same period last year, when the company reported $1.40 per share, or $927 million. That fell short of the $1.41 per share projected by a consensus of analysts from Thomson FirstCall. Sales jumped 13% to nearly $13 billion. The company blamed the "recessionary" market of North America.
Technology company 3M (MMM, Fortune 500) reported a 10% gain in third-quarter earnings to $1.41 per share or $991 million, compared to the same period last year. That beat the $1.38 per share projected by a consensus of analysts from Thomson FirstCall. Sales were up 6% to $6.6 billion.
National City (NCC, Fortune 500) reported a net loss of $729 million as the regional bank struggled to build loan loss reserves. While this is much worse than its $19 million net loss in the third quarter of 2007, it's an improvement from the abysmal $1.8 billion loss in the second quarter of 2008.
DuPont (DD, Fortune 500) reported that third-quarter earnings plunged to 40 cents per share, compared to 56 cents during the same period last year. The chemical giant blamed disruption in Texas-based manufacturing because of Hurricane Ike, as well as economic slowness. Also, DuPont lowered its full-year 2008 guidance to a range of $3.25 to $3.30 per share, compared to its prior guidance of $3.45 to $3.55.
Pfizer (PFE, Fortune 500) reported that sales slipped slightly in the third quarter, but still totaled nearly $12 billion, while reported diluted earnings more than tripled to 34 cents from 11 cents in the same period last year. Adjusted earnings were 62 cents per share, beating the 60 cents projected by a consensus of analysts from Thomson FirstCall .The improvement stems from the drug giant's after-tax charges last year because of its decision to dump Exubera, the inhalable insulin that failed to catch on with diabetics.
Schering-Plough (SGP, Fortune 500) reported a profit plunge of 23% to $551 million, or 34 cents per share, during the third quarter, compared to $713 million, or 45 cents per share, during the same period last year. The drug maker still managed to beat expectations of 31 cents per share from Thomson FirstCall's analyst consensus, saying sales were driven by the arthritis drug Remicade.
Economy: At 10 a.m. ET, the House Financial Services Subcommittee on Capital Markets, Insurance and Government Sponsored Enterprises, will lead a hearing on the need for regulatory restructuring of the financial industry.
Oil prices dropped $1.67 a barrel to $72.58 in electronic trading. To try and stop the decline in pricing, OPEC is considering a cut in production by 1 million barrels per day.
Monday's session. U.S. stocks shot higher Monday, buoyed by signs that the credit market is starting to thaw and talk of a second stimulus plan in the United States. The blue-chip Dow advanced 413 points, or 4.7%, to jump back above the 9,000 level.
Investors welcomed a fall in key lending rates, which signaled that the worldwide effort to loosen up the credit markets is starting to work. Federal Reserve chief Ben Bernanke also said Congress should consider another stimulus plan during testimony before a House panel.

Former President Barack Obama lauded John McCain’s efforts to push the nation to rise above “mean and petty” politics in his tribute Saturday to the Arizona Republican, who served for more than three decades in the Senate.
Mr Obama spoke after former president George W Bush, another McCain opponent. “Not the cheap rhetoric from men who will never come near the sacrifice he gave so willingly, nor the opportunistic appropriation of those who lived lives of comfort and privilege”.
Often fighting through tears, McCain called her father a “great warrior” but said she admired him most as a “great father”.
McCain’s funeral puts him back in the spotlight a few miles from Trump’s doorstep, in the city where the senator, who died last Saturday at 81, worked and collected friends and enemies, some in both camps at different times. America does not boast because she has no need to. Picture: Getty Former U.S. President Bill Clinton, Hillary Clinton, former Vice President Dick Cheney and Lynne Cheney. “I gotta say, there were a number of moments that were awkward, I’m sure for them, sitting there”. John McCain’s funeral, and while some people, including the president, were bothered by it, Senators Joe Lieberman and Lindsey Graham have chose to come to her defense.
An invitation-only national memorial service celebrating the senator’s life will begin at 10 a.m.at Washington National Cathedral. Joining them were family and friends as well as members of McCain’s Class of 1958, military leaders and academy midshipmen.
But contemporary President Trump led Republican party stances on human rights, women and LGBTQ equality and fiscal irresponsibility as well as mounting scandals citing corruption and Russian interference, puts Bush’s presidency and the man himself in a new light for some former critics.
McCain met thousands of people through his life, including presidents, prime ministers and potentates.
People gather to watch the passing of John McCain’s motorcade on his way to be laid to rest at the U.S. Naval Academy in Annapolis, Md.
The memorial service at Washington National Cathedral was intended as a cap to public commemorations that began Wednesday in Phoenix, in his adopted home state of Arizona.
Obama recalled McCain calling earlier this year, asking the former president to speak at the event after his death. So I am totally OK with everything, ‘ the man added.
Standing near McCain’s flag-draped casket and with Trump’s daughter in the audience, Meghan McCain delivered a broadside against the uninvited president without mentioning his name. John McCain, R-Ariz., at Washington National Cathedral in Washington, Saturday, Sept. 1, 2018. McCain, a naval aviator, was shot down during the Vietnam War and spent 5 1/2 years as a prisoner of war.
McCain’s internment. At the time, Trump issued a statement, saying “despite our differences on policy and politics, I respect Senator John McCain’s service to our country”.
The benediction was delivered by Rear Admiral Barry Black, the Senate chaplain who referred to McCain as a drum major: “May the life of this American patriot inspire us to see you more clearly, to love you more dearly, and to follow you more almost each day”.

The term rumba may refer to a variety of unrelated music styles. Originally, "rumba" was used as a synonym for "party" in northern Cuba, and by the late 19th century it was used to denote the complex of secular music styles known as Cuban rumba. Since the early 20th century the term has been used in different countries to refer to distinct styles of music and dance, most of which are only tangentially related to the original Cuban rumba, if at all. The vague etymological origin of the term rumba, as well as its interchangeable use with guaracha in settings such as bufo theatre, is largely responsible for such worldwide polysemy of the term. In addition, "rumba" was the primary marketing term for Cuban music in North America, as well as West and Central Africa, during much of the 20th century, before the rise of mambo, pachanga and salsa. "Rumba" entered the English lexicon in the early 20th century, at least as early as 1919, and by 1932 it was used a verb to denote the ballroom dance. In this sense, the anglicised spelling "rhumba" became prevalent and is now recommended to distinguish it from traditional Cuban rumba. Also in the first third of the 20th century, "rumba" entered the Spanish flamenco world as a fast-paced palo (style) inspired in the Cuban guaracha, and which gave rise to other forms of urban music now known as "rumba". Throughout Latin America, "rumba" acquired different connotations, mostly referring to Cubanized, danceable, local styles, such as Colombian rumba criolla (creole rumba). At the same time, "rumba" began to be used a catch-all term for Afro-Cuban music in most African countries, later giving rise to re-Africanized Cuban-based styles such as Congolese rumba.

Earlier on Wednesday the party had held a committee meeting at the party's national secretariat in Abuja, where the Convention Committee chairman, Governor of Delta State, Senator Ifeanyi Okowa, and his subcommittee chairmen, deliberated on matters concerning the successful conduct of the convention, where principal officers of the party will be chosen.
He said that internal party democracy was crucial to sustaining the party's growth, adding that PDP would intensify efforts to woo aggrieved members back to the party.
"We are going to overcome that with our resilience and to do the needful", Makarfi said.
"Zoning of Presidency and Chairmanship of the Party".
He called for the support of Nigerians for the party, assuring that it would not disappoint the country.
"The PDP is made up of a highly intellectual political class, that has the capacity to turn things around and manage the country's economy well", Ossai said.
The committee chairman said that the fact that the party became a victim of its own success was one of the sobering lessons that it learnt from its defeat. Any time longer than three months will not be in the interest of the party. Darius Ishaku, Gombe state, Dr. Ibrahim Hassan Dankwanbo, Deputy Governor of Bayelsa state, Rear Admiral, John Jonah, Deputy Governor of Cross River state, Professor Ivara Esu, Deputy Governor of Ebonyi state, Dr. Eric Kelechi Igwe, National Vice Chairmen, State Chairmen, Party stalwarts and other leaders of the PDP nationwide. In life, you do not always have the opportunity for a second chance. "We cannot afford to make another mistake that could affect the fortunes of the party in the days ahead". Like the saying goes, 'sometimes you have to go through the wilderness before you get to the Promised Land'.
"Nigerians have now experienced another party at the federal government". They can now compare and contrast.
"If presidential election is to take place in February 2019, the minimum time required by an elected executive needs more than 12 months to settle than". We must condition our hearts for a new beginning.
He pointed out that what the PDP needed now were honest and strong leaders, who understood that power is held in trust for the people, and must be administered for their good and advancement.

4 FM quick reads on ADA
1. Eight Questions for ADA Compliance
Maintenance and engineering managers in institutional and commercial facilities often face a difficult challenge in determining whether their facilities comply with ADA accessibility guidelines. These eight questions can help managers determine their organizations' level of risk for an ADA complaint:
- Have we evaluated the facility for ADA barriers?
- Have we been performing readily achievable barrier removal since January 1992?
- Have we ensured that any modifications, alterations, additions or new construction after 1992 were in full compliance with the 1991 standards?
- Have we ensured that the facility's accessibility features — door closers, sidewalks, ramps, handrails, grab bars, etc. — are maintained in working order?
- Have we converted to the 2010 ADA Standards for any barrier removal, alterations or construction?
- Have we looked at the new standards for policies and procedures that went into effect on March 15, 2011, for service animals, effective communication, mobility devices and ticket sales?
- Have we reviewed elements contained in the 2010 ADA standards and put together a plan to review our facility for those areas and elements?
- Have we been documenting all of our ADA compliance efforts?
Each "no" answer increases risk. But it is not too late to take the actions to turn your no answers to yes. Even if you cannot bring all of your facilities into immediate compliance, taking action will at least show that you are making a good-faith effort to remove barriers, comply with ADA standards, and maintain the accessible features of your facility.
ADA: Design for All
The mindset toward accessibility in many institutional and commercial facilities is evolving, but slowly. How can maintenance and engineering managers update their attitude toward ADA to see it as an element of the "design for all" concept instead of as a penalty or as something extra?
The best way to do this is by thinking of it as making the facility accessible to more visitors and occupants — not just those with disabilities — which is good for the bottom line.
In most cases, the project or facility can be designed so it does not negatively affect customers who are not disabled, yet still provides a positive experience for those that are. Accessible features also tend to benefit broader, possibly unexpected demographic groups, including parents with strollers, senior citizens, people with temporary injuries or even someone delivering packages or carrying luggage. These features ensure any and all customers can access the space safely and comfortably.
Retrofits: Ensuring ADA Compliance
For maintenance and engineering managers overseeing construction and renovation project in institutional and commercial facilities, there are two key steps to take to ensure that the project is fully compliant. The first is to perform a jurisdictional analysis.
Managing projects that result in fully accessible and compliant facilities requires a thorough analysis of the range of accessibility regulations that may be applicable to a specific project. The analysis will help determine, at the early planning stage, how many of what must be accessible. Do all public entrances have to be accessible, 50 percent or just one? This jurisdictional analysis must be done at the beginning of the project and reviewed at key milestones.
The specific questions that should be asked depend in part on the state that the project is in. However, typical key questions include:
- Is the facility's owner a government or private entity?
- If it is a private entity, does it receive any public financial assistance — not just for the specific building project?
- Is the facility open to the general public or used by employees only?
- Is the project new construction, an addition or an alteration?
In alteration projects, ask the following: Are "primary function" areas being altered? What is the cost of the planned alterations? For multifamily housing projects, additional questions include: Is the housing being developed by a state or local government agency? How many units? Are the units for rent or sale?
The second step is to knowing the resources.
Having in-house expertise is the easiest source for answering accessibility questions as they arise during projects. Every organization should designate someone to become familiar with the federal laws and regulations as well as the requirements of the states in which the organization has facilities. But the accessibility issues for many projects are not straightforward, and second opinions or interpretations are often warranted.
4 Steps to Proactive ADA Compliance
ADA accessibility lawsuits filed against businesses and facilities for alleged violations of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) have been growing over the last few years. The best defense against ADA lawsuits is to remove accessibility barriers.
Barriers are aspects of the built environment that lessen access. The removal process starts by assessing what needs to be done and then putting in place plans, procedures and policies to guide implementation. Here are four proactive steps to become an unappealing target:
Know how you're doing. The first step is to understand the basics of the ADA. One of the most important things to understand is that the ADA is a civil rights law, not a building code. Local building code officials do not oversee the enforcement of the ADA. The ADA is enforced when discrimination is alleged through private suit or by certain federal agencies, such as the Department of Justice. So just because plans are approved by building inspectors or other officials does not mean the building will be ADA compliant.
Develop a written implementation plan. The data collected from the audit will then be used to create an access plan to remove barriers within your time frame. That's the good news. Enforcement of the ADA Standards does not insist on complete and immediate compliance. On the other hand, doing nothing or taking half-hearted, slipshod measures are an invitation to lawsuits and substantial penalties, damages, and costs.
Execute against the plan. The Standards require businesses to remove barriers to the extent that it is readily achievable. Many may think the term readily achievable means "to the extent it is convenient for me." This is simply not so. The 1991 ADA Standards for Accessible Design defines readily achievable as, "easily accomplishable and able to be carried out without much difficulty or expense." If it's not readily achievable to immediately remove a barrier, the business must remove barriers to the extent it is readily achievable.
Let the law be your guide. The 2010 ADA Standards for Accessible Design is more than 250 pages, but there are resources to help make use of this extensive document. A couple of good places to start are the United States Access Board website, www.access-board.gov, and the U.S. DOJ ADA website, www.ada.gov. The DOJ also offers a toll-free ADA information line for assistance.

Washington and Beijing are close to concluding key points of the trade negotiation and discussions continue, the office of the United States Trade Representative said Friday after a call between negotiators in both countries.
The president of the United States, Donald Trump, celebrated a major victory in his offensive against China two weeks ago, stating that the two powers were about to conclude a "substantial" agreement he called "phase one", without knowing each other more details.
This Friday, the United States trade representative, Robert Lighthizer, and Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin spoke with China's Vice Premier Liu He about phase one of the trade agreement between China and the United States, announced in a The Office of the United States Trade Representative (USTR).RELATED
"They advanced on specific issues and both sides are close to concluding some sections of the agreement," said the USTR.
In the statement, the authorities did not provide further details, but indicated that the discussions "will continue" between sub-delegates and that the main negotiators will have another call "in the near future".
Trump said China has pledged to buy more US agricultural products and that the deal also addresses issues of intellectual property, financial and currency services.
Then, the United States suspended a saving of tariffs for Chinese goods that had to enter into force on October 15 and that included imports for 250,000 million dollars, which had to pass from 25 to 30%, but an increase in taxes for still 150,000 million dollars that will begin in December.
China wants a deal
Trump said he hoped to sign an agreement with Chinese leader Xi Jinping during the APEC summit to be held in China in mid-November.
"We are doing very well with China," Trump told reporters on Friday. "China wants a deal. They want some tariff reductions," he said.
With hundreds of billions of dollars of bilateral trade subject to additional tariffs, there are growing signs that the US-China trade war, now in its second year, has damaged the world economy, increasing pressure on both sides To reach an agreement.
According to the International Monetary Fund, the cumulative effect of trade conflicts could mean a loss of 700 billion dollars in 2020, equivalent to about 0.8% of global GDP.
Last week, IMF managing director Kristalina Georgieva said that group pressure is increasing to end trade tensions.
However, Trump, who has delivered robust aid to US farmers affected by China's tariffs, insisted that the agreement will be of great help to the agricultural sector.
"They really want an agreement. They are going to buy many more agricultural products than anyone ever thought it was possible," the US president said of China.

Void Bastards takes place in a far away future. The prisoner ship called Void Arc has recently entered the sargasso nebula and is unable to escape. To fix this situation and following protocol, the onboard AI called BACS begins to use the ship’s prisoners to venture out to scavege for different items to fix the ship and
Once you find a ship you want to dock. The game loads you into a first person view, that allows you to travel around the ship. The game also supports multiple play styles allowing you to either sneak around the boarded ship or to run and gun your way through. Both ways are perfectly acceptable however if you choose to blast your way through the ships mutated inhabitants watch your ammo as its hard to come by early in the game.
The gunplay is very smooth and hit detection for the most part also seems on point. There is also quite a huge variety of different guns and explosives you can craft on board your ship. You start off with a basic pistol. But as you play and scrap for material you can craft other more unique weapons.
One downside to this game however, is the limited types of ships you can board. Once I got a couple of hours into the game I started noticeing that many of the ships were the same layout. This is helped by other things changing on the ships such as the types of enimeys you will enoucnter and the location of loot. As well as other obsticules like fires, oilspills, oxigen levels and so on. And all these variations did help to keep the game staying fresh. But I thought I would mention this none the less.
Another really cool feature for this game is if your character dies he is dead for good. But unlike many other games with permadeath, this game is a bit more forgiving to the player. Once you die you will lose all the loot you picked up while on the ship you died on. But everything else you collected will be on board your ship for the next lucky prisoner choosen to replace you. Each prisoner that you play as will also have certain traits given to them. For
The graphics for this game are a bit objective. If you like comic book style art, then you will most likely love the artwork in this game. Either way the graphices work very well, and I encountered no issues, glitches or wonky annimations while playing.
The game sounds and voice acting in this game are also done very well. At times it seems a bit limited exspecially with the in game music. But what the game does offer is done exceptionally well.
All in all, Void Bastards is an exceptionaly unqiue game. That shows that a 1st person shooter can be more than a run and gun game. My first playthrough took around 8 hours to complete this game. And with a huge varriation of gameplay and strategy I could see many doing a second or third playthrough.
If interested in this game you can purchase this game on Xbox, and PC starting May 29th. Void Bastards should be on Xbox Gamepass on launch.
Void Bastards Review
An excellent idea for a game done exceptionally well. However, some may wish to pass due to the games aesthetics or lackluster story.

Born on the auspicious ‘Vijayadashami Day’, Vijayalakshmi grew up listening to the Tamil movie songs of Ilayaraja and M S Viswanathan and was soon humming them by the time she was two. Thanks to a formal education in music, Vijayalakshmi, today, has performed on more than 400 stages in all the major cities like Chennai, Tanjore, Madurai and Coimbatore.
But, the real moment of fame came when she bagged the chance to sing for the Malayalam movie, Celluloid. The song took Mollywood by storm even before the film’s release and won her a Kerala State special jury award. Her third film song won her the State Film Award too. More accolades came her way, including the Filmfare Award and Kerala Sangeetha Nataka Academy Award, with her voice getting popular all across South India. She has sung over 40 songs for 20 films in four languages - Malayalam, Tamil, Sanskrit and Telugu, apart from numerous records of devotional songs of different faiths.

Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation is, put simply, the process of supporting someone who is in respiratory failure.
Unable to breathe for themselves, ECMO does the job of the lungs, allowing the organs to rest and recover. It may also prevent recognised complications associated with conventional ventilation.
“The procedure involves pumping blood out of the patient, adding oxygen and removing carbon dioxide,” explains Dr Alain Vuylsteke, Clinical Director at Royal Papworth Hospital.
“It is only really used as a last resort and is a highly-specialised skill, so there are only five centres in England who are commissioned by the National Specialised Commissioning Team to provide ECMO for respiratory failure. We are one of those centres and help to provide a co-ordinated national response service, advising other hospitals and retrieving patients when appropriate.”
The system works via an online referral portal, with a specialist multidisciplinary team discussing each case and providing clinical advice on how best to manage those patients so that ECMO can, wherever possible, be avoided.
In a typical month, our teams would retrieve four ECMO patients. In April, that number was 26.
If ECMO is indeed potentially the best support to offer, a specialist multidisciplinary team is dispatched to assess the patient and initiate ECMO support, before bringing the patient back to Royal Papworth Hospital.
In a typical month, our teams would retrieve four patients from across the East of England and parts of north London, bringing them to Royal Papworth for ECMO support.
However, the demand for the service has rapidly increased owing to the coronavirus pandemic, with our teams having retrieved 26 patients in April. To achieve this, consultant surgeons have been teamed with anaesthetic fellows, specialist nurses and perfusionists to go and assess and retrieve patients from other hospitals as our ECMO consultants have been needed to support the critical care expansion at Royal Papworth.
Laura Bowden is one of those specialist nurses on the retrieval team. She has worked with the ECMO team at Royal Papworth since it began in 2011.Our critical care unit during COVID-19. There have been up to 19 patients on ECMO in the unit at any one time.
“The maximum number of ECMO patients I can remember us having here at any single point is nine,” Laura says, casting her mind back. “Usually, if you were to pick a random day in time we would have an average of four or five.
“Those numbers have gone out of the window during COVID-19. At times we have had up to 19 patients, which is a significant increase, but we worked hard to prepare for this and the team is pulling together with amazing spirit to give the very best care to each and every patient.
“On a national scale, anything above 15 ECMO patients is considered a surge. For example, last winter we peaked at 34. Across the five sites we have had up to 85. The numbers are huge but the system is coping admirably.”
One of the changes that was introduced at the start of the COVID-19 pandemic is a 24/7 online referral system used by all the five centres, replacing the usual pathway of portal > nurse > consultant > decision.
Staffed by anaesthesia and intensive care consultants who had to work from home, they scan the referral portal and offer direct advice to the referring hospital, accepting the right patients and then mobilising the team for retrieval.
By the end of April we had more than 190 online referrals in five weeks.
“It was a challenging couple of weeks getting the new system running,” says Dr Rachel Jooste, one of those consultants who form part of the new ‘referral at home’ team.
“The online referral portal was commissioned nationally on 15 March and it went live across all centres at midday on 25 March. We ran both systems for a few days before moving fully to the new model.
“By the end of April, we had already received more than 190 online referrals in five weeks, with 18% of those leading to retrieval. The referrals come to us 24/7 – the most popular times seem to be between one and four in both the morning and the afternoon. We offer vital information to the referring centre by sending a response online or calling them by phone.
“This is happening across the country. It’s busy but such an important service, allowing us to have a unified response and cope with the increased demand.”

– Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) have threatened to embark on another strike
– ASUU said the federal government have failed to keep its own side of the bargain on the 2019 Memorandum of Action
– According to the union, the money meant to be a part-payment of the Earned Academic Allowances is yet to be released by the FG
The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) on Thursday, May 23, threatened embark on another strike over federal government failure to keep its own side of the bargain on the 2019 Memorandum of Action.
ASUU’s national president, Biodun Ogunyemi, while speaking in Abuja said the N25 billion which the federal government, through the Minister of Education, Adamu Adamu, said it had approved for the union was meant to be a part-payment of the Earned Academic Allowances is yet to be released.
According to Ogunyemi, the money was supposed to have been e been released in February.
Vanguard reports that President Muhammadu Buhari-led administration clearly lacks the academic disposition and humility needed to undertake the task of negotiation with the body for a better learning environment.
Ogunyemi said: “Since information on the amounts mentioned in the media went round, the ASUU has been inundated with enquiries on the union’s perspective to the story.
“Funding for the revitalization of public universities has for years been of very high priority to ASUU.
“Reaching an agreement with the Federal Government has often been a frustrating journey for our union. It is often marked with protests, strikes and requires a conscious and focused engagement,” Ogunyemi said.
Ogunyemi called on all Nigerians, parents and students including the Nigeria Labour Congress to prevail on the government to keep to the terms of our agreement.
He said: “The current leadership of the government team clearly lacks the academic disposition and humility needed to undertake such task.”
“Our members enjoy their work and hate to see any disruption in the smooth running of our universities.
“However, the level of frustration occasioned by the lackadaisical attitude of the government towards meeting the terms of the 2019 Memorandum of Action that was freely signed with our union is increasingly becoming unbearable,” he said.

Shovels & Rope
As the Brontл sister wrote, “The ties that bind us to life are tougher than you imagine.” Shovels & Rope, the musical duo of Michael Trent and Cary Ann Hearst, embody that bond. Married for a decade, their covenant extends to blood and beyond: as parents, bandmates, and creative collaborators who can now add the pursuits of festival curators, film subjects, and children’s book authors to that mighty list. Having released four studio albums and two collaborative projects (Busted Jukebox, Vol. 1 & 2) since 2008, Trent and Hearst have built their reputation on skill, sweat, and, yes, blood. Now, with the tough and elegant new record By Blood, as well as their High Water Festival in their hometown of Charleston, South Carolina, “Shovels & Rope: The Movie”, and the picture book “C’mon Utah!”, Shovels & Rope are primed for their biggest year yet.
Accomplished musicians in their own right prior to dedicating themselves full time to Shovels & Rope in 2011, Trent and Hearst have made a career together by seizing opportunities and never resting on their laurels or being complacent in doing something just because. Carving out a niche in the music world with strong, roots/indie/folk/rock-inspired efforts like 2012’s O’ Be Joyful, 2014’s Swimmin’ Time, and 2016’s inward-looking Little Seeds, as well as their powerful live show, far-reaching tours, and myriad TV and festival appearances, Shovels & Rope have earned the right to follow their own muse. And so, in an effort to satisfy their numerous creative interests and adapt to a changing industry, Trent and Hearst have firmly planted their flag in realms beyond recording and releasing albums.
The third annual High Water Festival curated by the band will be held over a weekend in April and will bring 10,000 fans to a park in North Charleston to witness a lineup of artists comparable to some of the best in the country—including Leon Bridges, The Head & The Heart, Lord Huron, Jenny Lewis, Mitski, and Shovels & Rope themselves. High Water benefits select organizations and water conservation charities in Charleston and aims to avoid the feeling of corporate inundation and discomfort that plagues many big-name music events. Trent and Hearst work with production companies and agencies to book acts, then serve as on-site hosts in addition to performing throughout the weekend.
“Shovels & Rope: The Movie” is a performance film that has been expanded into feature-length with an external narrative weaving through and connecting the live performances. Directed by their frequent visual collaborator, Curtis Millard, the ‘live show’ portion of the filming took place over two nights at The Orange Peel in Asheville, North Carolina, during the tour for Little Seeds. The rest of the film was shot in various locations in and around the Southeast. The result can be described as a David Lynch meets John Hughes (a fun, silly, and tongue-in-cheek film for fans to enjoy that also represents the band at the peak of their live power.)
The children’s book, “C’mon Utah!”, sets the lyrics from the new song of the same name to illustrations by the artist Julio Cotto. It is an inspirational story, set in the future aftermath of the building and subsequent destruction of the southern border wall. The separated and displaced families are figuring out how to start to put the pieces back together. Communities form to organize and support each other. The parents in these communities tell stories to lift the children spirits and maintain hope through sadness and despair. One such story is about a magic horse named Utah who has the power to help to reunite them with their families on the other side of the devastation. The book is intended as a conversation starter for parents and children to discuss immigration and diversity.
Trent and Hearst have learned to juggle their busy schedules by relying on each other as well as their team, and by seizing every chance for efficiency. They realized one such opportunity by building a modest studio at home, which is where they began to record By Blood in May of 2018. The new space in their back yard provides a sanctuary where their gear can remain at the ready, a luxury conducive to their creative process—especially when sharing a home with kids.
By Blood’s ten songs are vignettes that focus on vulnerable, human characters laid bare, while the textures are gritty, sweeping, and profound. These are tales of inherently good yet incomplete people whose faults are on the table in plain sight, a trait that endears the subjects to the listener and that the songwriters recognize in themselves.
The first single “The Wire” is about accepting your own faults and learning to say you’re sorry. Its stylishly minimal verses and wall of sound chorus recall some raw, girl-group era drama as well as timeless rock and roll. As the gorgeous, dark lullaby of the title track brings the album to its end, the beautiful, cinematic journey of By Blood has left its mark.
And so, bound by blood, by sweat, and by love—of creativity, craft, and family—Shovels & Rope are coming out swinging. From the bind in their band name itself to the shared life they have built from scratch, it’s clear that Trent and Hearst are in constant pursuit of their best selves—together.
“My school was a juke joint/From a kid till I was grown/And blues is really/All I ever known”
“Ain’t Gonna Take No Mess”
Take one glance at the iconic tintype photograph which serves as the cover to his new album, Benton County Relic, and you know immediately that Cedric Burnside is the real deal. “When I first saw it, I thought I looked like an outlaw,” he laughs.
The 39-year-old still lives on several acres not far from the Holly Springs, Mississippi, home where he was raised by “Big Daddy,” his grandfather, the late singer/songwriter/guitarist R.L. Burnside whom Cedric famously played with, just as his own father, drummer Calvin Jackson, did. Cedric was literally born to the blues, more specifically, the “rhythmically unorthodox” Hill country variant which emerged from Mississippi, where he grew up surrounded (and influenced) by Junior Kimbrough, Jessie May Hemphill and Otha Turner, as well as delta musicians T-Model Ford and Paul “Wine” Jones.
Grammy-nominated in 2015 for Best Blues Album for the Cedric Burnside Project’s Descendants of Hill Country, as well as the recipient of the Blues Music Awards honor as Drummer of the Year for four consecutive years, Cedric’s latest album offers a showcase for his electric and acoustic guitar, recording 26 tracks in just two days with drummer/slide guitarist Brian Jay in the latter’s Brooklyn home studio in a rush of creativity. It’s his first release for Single Lock Records, the Florence, Alabama label headquartered across the Tennessee River from the legendary Muscle Shoals Sound Studio and responsible for critically acclaimed records by John Paul White, Nicole Atkins, Dylan LeBlanc and St. Paul & the Broken Bones.
And while Cedric humbly refers to himself in the album’s title, the music within is anything but ancient, the rich tradition of Hill country blues dragged kicking and screaming into the modern-day with crackling electricity amid its nod to life’s essentials. If the blues has traditionally been about getting through hard times, Benton County Relic offers the kind of deep baring of the soul that enables us to transcend oppression, whether in the 19th century or in the precarious present.
There’s blood on these 12 tracks, from the matter-of-fact recitation of his poverty-stricken childhood without running water, radio or TV in “We Made It” (“I come from nothin’/I done been lower than low/I keep my head straight/No matter how low I go”) and the description of a “Typical Day” (“I wake up in the mornin’/Sun shinin’ on my face/I drink a cup of coffee/I might roll me a J”) to the loss of family endured in “Hard to Stay Cool” and the unrequited passion of “There is So Much.”
“I write my music according to how I live my life, the things I’m going through at the time,” insists Burnside, who lost both his parents, an uncle and his younger brother Cody over the last few years. “I love music so much. It’s really something I can turn to when I’m feeling down and out, and in pain. Whether it’s the heartache of breaking up with a girlfriend, or frustration at a dispute with a family member.”
Burnside has brought a music that started as an expression of grief and a will to survive into a modern-day art form that is both timely and timeless, a glimpse of myth and insight into the human condition. “Back in the day, it wasn’t heard as music, but more like ‘somebody help me, I want to get out of this situation,’” says Cedric. “These days, anybody can have the blues. Some people deal with loss by going out and getting drunk or even killing themselves. The blues is about surviving through those hard times, telling the world what you’ve been through, and how you came out of it.”
Cedric’s blues cover a wide range of different emotions. “Give It to You” is an expression of pure sexual desire, a traditional blues trope. Burnside explains, “That kind of stuff still goes on in the world today,” he says. “It has happened to me, and I’m sure it has happened to a lot more people. Whether it’s politically correct or not, it’s the truth. And that’s how I write my music. It might seem harsh or messed-up, but it’s real.”
“Call on Me” is a song penned for his three daughters, ages 13 to 17, about being there emotionally, if not always in person, given his hectic touring schedule. “I just want them to know, what I do is not just for the fans, but for them, too.”
The traditional “Death Bell Blues” is a tribute to his own “Big Daddy,” R.L. Burnside, who used to perform the song, once covered by Muddy Waters and countless others. “I did it the same way ‘Big Daddy’ did it,” he says. “I want to let the people know where my music comes from.”
On “Ain’t Gonna Take No Mess,” Cedric insists he’s performing the music he wants, regardless of what anybody else says. “I’ve been playing almost 30 years now,” he exclaims. “It’s who I am, what I am. I am Hill country blues. This is my whole life, and I’m not going to listen to anyone who tells me what I can and can’t do. I just thank God that Single Lock Records let me be with my music.”
Cedric has both played and recorded with the North Mississippi Allstars (Luther Dickinson gave him his first electric guitar), Widespread Panic, Jimmy Buffett, Bobby Rush, Hubert Sumlin, Black Joe Lewis and the Honeybears and the Jon Spencer Blues Explosion. He was also featured playing drums alongside Samuel L. Jackson in Craig Brewer’s 2006 feature film, Black Snake Moan, which was in part a tribute to his grandfather R.L. and other iconic bluesmen.
Now planning to tour with collaborator Brian Jay to promote the new album, Cedric eschews politics in favor of the personal. “I know there’s a lot going on in the world,” he says. “But I try to give it all to God and let Him handle it. Politics divides people. The blues brings them together. A bluesman has to find a way to make it through.”
Cedric Burnside isn’t content with just making it through. On Benton County Relic, he brings the blues alive for a new generation of fans weaned on the likes of White Stripes and the Black Keys. And why not? That’s all he’s ever known.

Are you or your partner currently struggling with an eating disorder? How can both people help each other support one another? What can you do as a couple to be transformed together?
In this podcast episode, Dr. Cristina Castagnini speaks about relationships and eating disorders with Dr. Kim Lampson.
MEET DR. KIM LAMPSON
Dr. Lampson's passion for helping people with eating disorders, love for doing couples therapy and joy in teaching has culminated in her partnering with The Gottman Institute to develop Gottman-RED, a new therapy for couples in which one or both partners have an eating disorder.
Her interest in helping people with eating disorders developed after her own recovery from an eating disorder. She began her career with a full-time private practice for many years. Twelve years ago, she joined the faculty at Northwest University and is now professor of psychology with a part-time practice specializing in couples therapy. In addition, she is available to provide supervision, training, and/or workshops for therapists wanting to learn more about Gottman-RED.

Common issues that couples face
- Sexual intimacy
- Physical touch
- Sharing meals
With sexual intimacy and touch, people with eating disorders may feel uncomfortable for a whole variety of reasons with their partner being with them in an intimate situation. (Dr. Lampson)
People who suffer from eating disorders often struggle with a lot of shame.
If they had experienced a binging or purging session, they may withdraw from their partner and not explain why because of that feeling of shame.
Eating together can [also] be a problem … if a person restricts, suddenly [there are] a lot of foods that they’re afraid of or [are] not acceptable so the restaurants that you can go to are very limited, social eating gets awkward, and the person may refuse going out to eat. (Dr. Lampson)
Even though these may not seem like big issues, they can compound over time and can start to cause disagreements, frustration, and arguments within a relationship.
Misunderstanding the situation
Some partners may not fully understand what an eating disorder is.
They may think that their partner is obsessed with becoming thinner or fitter, and cannot understand the nuances because they do not realize that it is an illness and not a habit.
[They may] not understand that it is a way to try to deal with emotional pain and that it is must deeper [than they assume] and that the person with the eating disorder is using these behaviors as a way to cope with [difficult] things in their life. (Dr. Lampson)
Practice communication to help each other
A lot of communication needs to be practiced so that the partner without the eating disorder can be empathetic and compassionate.
The partner [can] support, comfort, empathize, not judge, and not ask a lot of probing questions but be able to walk alongside the person with the eating disorder so they can maybe make a different choice in the future. (Dr. Lampson)
It can be difficult, but the person who’s struggling with the eating disorder needs to commit to being open about it as much as they can with their partner to help them understand what they go through.
Then, their partner can practice genuine empathy and compassion and give them true support because they understand what’s going on.
Clear and kind communication between both people is essential and healing.
The important thing is [that] people can talk about that and figure out how they’re going to work with that and work on it together. (Dr. Lampson)
Transforming as a person
Going through the eating disorder recovery process is significant enough that it can transform a person.
They will have gone through issues, learned new ways to cope with difficult things, and will have different approaches to life.
Both people need to be aware of this, as it may change some of the dynamics within their relationship.
To make the best of the situation and to maximize the benefits, couples need to talk about what may happen after recovery and how they can plan to strengthen their relationship after they have both changed for the better.
MEET DR. CRISTINA CASTAGNINI
I am a licensed Psychologist and Certified Eating Disorder Specialist.
While I may have over 20 years of clinical experience, what I also have is the experience of having been a patient who had an eating disorder as well.
One thing that I never had during all of my treatment was someone who could look me in the eye and honestly say to me "hey, I've been there. I understand".
Going through treatment for an eating disorder is one of the hardest and scariest things to do. I remember being asked to do things that scared me. Things I now know ultimately helped me to get better. But, at the time, I had serious doubts and fears about it.
If even one of my providers had been able to tell me "I know it's scary, but I had to go through that part too. Here's what will probably happen...." then perhaps I would not have gone in and out of treatment so many times.
My own experience ultimately led me to specialize in treating eating disorders. I wanted to be the therapist I never had; the one who "got it".
I will be giving you my perspective and information as an expert and clinician who has been treating patients for over 2 decades.
But don't just take my word for it...keep listening to hear the truly informative insights and knowledge guest experts have to share.
I am so happy you are here!

When summer is over, it’s normal to hear about everything that’s going on at school. Shopping is one of those activities you hear about a lot in the meantime – after all, going to the store for new school clothes and accessories is fun for kids and parents alike.
But if you hear students discussing necklaces from the school’s collection, it’s important to note that this isn’t about a new piece of jewelry. Instead, it’s a dangerous phrase (which doesn’t seem dangerous at first glance) that you might hear in conversation or see on social media. So what exactly is a back-to-school defeat? We explain.
What Is a Back-to-School Necklace?
Urban Dictionary describes the “back to school” necklace as “another name for a loop”. This is related to the frustration you feel when school resumes.
Its use could be indicated by phrases like “I’m planning to get a back-to-school necklace,” “I can’t wait to receive the back-to-school necklace,” or “thinking about this back-to-school necklace.” I can’t wait to wear my “Back to School” necklace, this “Back to School” necklace is calling to me, etc.
So while the “Back to School” necklace sounds innocent enough to those who don’t know its true meaning, it’s actually a cry for help, because it’s the code of death by hanging.
But once parents become aware of the term, they can better help.
How Should Parents Approach This “Back to School” Setback With Their Children?
If you don’t know how to talk about it, Samantha Westhouse, LLMSW, a psychotherapist and social worker for Maternal and Child Health, recommends that your child lead the conversation. “Start off by saying, ‘I heard about this thing called a back-to-school necklace – do you know anything about it?’ She advises. “I believe that having a candid discussion is always beneficial. It’s always important to avoid judgment so that your child is comfortable sharing her feelings.”
Just trying to register can make a big difference. “Parents should feel empowered to talk to their children about mental health in general,” explains Emily Cavallari, LLMSW, school social worker and child and family therapist. And as for school interactions, she adds: “Each year, share a personal story about how you felt when you started school, especially when you experienced fear as a child. Let them know that you will help them deal with any difficulties. Feel the feelings or seek professional help if they need it.”
Why Are Children Expressing Such a High Level of Anxiety as the New School Year Draws Near?
Some of the concern is understandable, as students are expected to get used to the new norms after the summer months. “Going back to school can be overwhelming for many reasons,” Cavallari says. “Some students find it difficult to think of a new school, a new teacher, a new schedule, etc. Students go from a sleep and rest schedule to mornings and busy days.”
And often these difficulties seem insurmountable to students. Moreover, “more than 1 in 3 high school students had persistent emotions of depression or hopelessness in 2019, a 40% rise from 2009,” according to the CDC.
“I think it could be a combination of what looks like socialization on top of age in the last two years,” expiates Westhouse. “When we reflect back, a 13-year-old was 10 years old when we were all imprisoned. Literally they went to school and left the usual clubs, sports, and socializing. Mass shootings in schools and what we did. Add to that what we’ve experienced. In our world over the years. It all has an impact.”
What Red Flags Need Parents to Watch Out For?
“If someone uses this phrase, there’s a good chance they’re struggling with their mental health,” Cavallari says. The indicators you may notice [include] spending time alone, being distant, irritated, and sobbing lightly, depending on whether your child is truly considering suicide or is using the word as a cry for assistance and often , sleeping more than usual, sleep problems, loss of consciousness. Interest in things they used to enjoy, put things off, and generally change behavior.”
Cavallari notes that even if you haven’t heard your child use the phrase, it may be the phrase they use on their phone.They may get it through social media platforms or SMS messages, she claims. Parents need to be mindful of how much their kids use technology. Students of all ages can use this phrase and experience these feelings, so look for the signs in your children, from toddlers to teens.”
Should Students Know About Hearing or Using the Phrase “Back-to-School-necklace” Around Friends?
“Students should be aware that the use of this phrase is very serious,” warns Cavallari. “It is not normal to joke about self harm and especially suicide. If they really do experience these feelings, they should not be ashamed and seek help. If students use this phrase to their friends They should tell an adult about it, even their friend tells them not to do it.”
Westhouse agrees, adding that even if your child or teen gets over it quickly, they need to know that “it’s serious, even if they think it’s a joke. Phrases to address to school staff.” .
What Resources Are Recommended To Help Teens Going Back to School?
The first line of defense for youngsters might be their parents. The CDC recommends that parents “monitor their teens to encourage healthy decision-making,” “spend quality time with their teens and enjoy activities together” and participate in school life, either. By volunteering or communicating regularly with teachers and administrators.
Westhouse will also advocate for schools to implement student aid policies. According to the CDC, before the pandemic in 2019, “one in six youth had planned to commit suicide in the past year, a 44% increase from 2009.”
To help your child feel less overwhelmed when they return to school, Cavallari recommends preparing for school early by “organizing up, going to school/running on [your] schedule, getting enough sleep, and eating healthy meals.” “
Ultimately, knowledge is power, and knowing that this problem affects many children and teens means parents can be more aware and get more help. Westhouse and Cavallari recommend seeking the help of a physician, as well as using the new 988 suicide helpline, if necessary.
