Hailey Baldwin and Justin Bieber’s second wedding with family and friends was as lavish as you’d expect. The star-studded event took place on Monday, September 30 and there were bedazzled bottles of Moet & Chandon Imperial champagne, a customized photo booth, $975 Jimmy Choo heels and — take a deep breath — stunning Tiffany & Co wedding bands deserving of a place on your Pinterest feed.
Thanks to the renowned American jeweler, the 22-year-old bride’s $500,000 oval engagement ring from NYC-based private jeweler Solow & Co. finally has a companion — well, two to be exact! Instead of just one wedding band, the supermodel now sports a pair: The classic $3,125 Tiffany Soleste Band Ring in 18-carat gold with diamonds and the $2,150 Tiffany Soleste V Ring in 18-carat gold with diamonds to make her ring finger look extra-extravagant. Can we get a slow clap for this $5,275 moment?
Bieber wasn’t afraid to go all-out with the bling for the big day, either! In addition to the $60,000 gold Audemars Piguet watch that he splurged on from Jadelle Beverly Hills, he also wore a fancy diamond grill to style with his Tiffany Classic Wedding Band. The thick, 4.5 mm-wide ring was made with 18-carat gold and retails for $950 — a steal in comparison to Baldwin’s!
The couple is no stranger to the luxe jewelry brand. Baldwin also wore Tiffany jewelry at the wedding ceremony and reception, donning 5-carat Tiffany & Co Diamond earrings set in platinum, worth a casual $123,000. The glamorous, square-shaped diamond studs stood out against her romantic low-bun in that adorable black-and-white photo of Baldwin and her husband.

One of the world’s literary giants, Professor Chinua Achebe, is in the news again. The last time he made headlines in Nigeria was when he rejected the Nigeria’s national honours.
In the last one week, the media has been awash with barrage of sponsored attacks on him by those who are being too clever-by-half.
The attacks on Professor Achebe by some myopic and naive critics on his memoir on Biafra in his latest magnum opus- ‘There was a country’…which captures the true account of the dark days of Igbo history, is laughable.
If any thing, these push-and-start critics have buttressed Professor Achebe’s point that there was a plots to decimate Ndigbo during and after the war by the wartime regime of Gowon.
It is obvious that the Biafran story has been told repeatedly in the past as a single story. It is also obvious that this ‘geographical expression’ is not mature to hear or read the true memoir of Biafra.
It is a moral sin for anybody to suggest that Achebe who will be 82 on November 16, should be economical with the truth while telling any true life story, not to talk of the Biafran story which he was at the centre of the unforgettable event.
It’s like asking President Nelson Mandela to be economical with the truth while telling the apartheid story. Anyway, methinks that Professor Achebe knew the book will be a bitter pill for some sections of the country to swallow.
You can’t beat a child and stop him from crying. Achebe is not one of those contractors roaming the streets of Abuja, in search of government contracts. He is not among those that ruined Nigeria. Twice, he rejected the dubious national honors, an indication that he is not in, for the injustice and corruption in this geographical expression.
Those ranting have not been able to counter Achebe on facts. Instead, they are wasting time on sectional rhetorics in an effort to defend their interests. I expect them to come up with points against what the literary Icon deposed.
In any case, Professor Achebe didn’t say anything new. What he said are facts of history available to all. Even now, are we not witnesses to the “political ineptitude, mediocrity, indiscipline, ethnic bigotry and the corruption of the ruling class [which] continues to this day”? The big question remains: why is Nigeria where she is 52 years after self rule?
Come to think of it, I don’t think the tribal critics of Professor Achebe are faulting the facts and details of the genocide in the masterpiece. I think their fear and worry is the mileage the truth will go around the globe. Their high-strung is that the world will at last, get to read and know the truth about the genocide against Ndigbo and the masterminds.
It is unarguable that some of those making a noise and attacking Professor Achebe do not have good knowledge of the civil war. They are relying on single story of the war which they were told. No matter how good a historian tells a story of an event, such a historian cannot tell the story better than a man who witnessed and experienced the event of the story.
No matter how much anybody will pay to either prevent the truth from being told, or to divert attention of the world from a truth when it is told, history cannot be rewritten.
History will continue to remember and mention ‘the wartime cabinet of General Gowon…intellectuals like Chief Obafemi Awolowo’ and those at the helms of affairs when the Nigerian state formulated policies that promoted genocide against Ndigbo. This is a fact of history.
Gowon is still alive. Let him come up to counter Achebe. Am sure Gowon will have no defense to the fact that his three R policy was not only anti-Igbo, but was lopsidedly implemented.
Recently, the Akwa Ibom State governor, Mr. Goodswill Akpabio, at an event in Lagos, confronted Gowon before the likes of Ibrahim Babangida and Mohammadu Buhari, and questioned why Gowon’s three R policy was never implemented anywhere in the Eastern region where the war was fought. Truth is indeed bitter.
Akpabio insisted that if there were to be a reconstruction according to Gowon’s three R policy, the reconstruction should have been concentrated in the Eastern region where properties and lives where destroyed during the war.
Instead, reconstruction exercises were carried in sections of the country where no single gunshot was fired during the war. Gowon couldn’t answer him. Of course he had no answer.
Akpabio was never attacked by anyone for asking such a critical question simply because everybody now goes to Akwa Ibom, which is in the region they failed to reconstruct and rehabilitate, to share from the oil money. Thank God for Godswill.
Gowon’s three R policy was merely on paper as far as Eastern Nigeria is concern. Rather than reconstruction, the theatre of war was, and is totally neglected by the federal government.
Instead of rehabilitation, the Igbo people were marginalised and made to lose their place of pride in the system. Their accounts with Nigerian banks were confiscated, their hard earn monies looted as they were given only 20 pounds each by the Nigerian authority regardless of what they have in their account.
Mind you that Achebe didn’t say that: “Nigeria is not a nation. It is a mere geographical expression.” Neither did he see it as “our grandfather estate.” Those who saw Nigeria in that light are the ones that ruined her, looted her, raped her, and reduced her to a begging giant she is today. They made her a rogue country. A terrorism country. A Boko haramised country. A corrupt country. A country where every wrong is done with impunity.
It is worthy to note that 52 years after Nigeria’s actualization of self rule, and 42 years after the Biafra war, the embers of separation are still starring us in the face, with almost every tribe asking for autonomy today and threatening secession. Why would anyone single out Achebe for tongue-lashing…even when those claiming to be more Nigeria than others, have by various means, supported her disintegration in secret.
Achebe probably wouldn’t have been reduce to the wheelchair if the wartime cabinet of Gowon didn’t hoist an anti-Igbo policy with the three R. Yes, it was on the Enugu-Onitsha-Awka Highway, which they Nigeria state abandoned, like they abandon all major roads in the southeast, that Professor Achebe had the road-crash that reduced him to the wheelchair sometime in 1990.
Up till now, that Enugu-Onitsha-Awka Highway has remained a death-trap where thousands of Igbos die on daily basis on road mishaps. In fact, the genocide agaisnt Ndigbo has taken a new dimension . All major roads linking the southeast to other parts of the country are death-traps, killing Igbos in their numbers. And yet, some people want Achebe to tell them what they want to hear, instead of telling the truth.
I submit to the Professor, he “had to find the right vehicle that could carry our anguish, our sorrow… the scale of dislocation and destruction…our collective pain…” This book couldn’t have come anytime better than now.
Truth is bitter. It is obvious Nigeria is not mature to hear the Biafran story.
One thing attackers of Professor Achebe have done is that they have given the book a well deserved publicity. Everybody is now eagerly waiting for the book to arrive Nigeria for them to grab their copies. Am sure there is more the book will reveal.
The book will end up selling more than his previous books, including Things Fall Apart…am sure the Literary Guru will go on to translate the book into many languages of this world.
Much as nobody is wishing for such genocide again, the bitter truth must be told.

Who Is Tianis Jones Florida? Tianis Jones is a new sensation in the internet world who went viral after creating an unacceptable drama at Mcdonald’s on Friday, May 20, 2022. Stick with us for more details about her rash behaviour and the consequences.
Tianis Jones is an American lady based in Florida who entered the Mcdonald’s on Friday and started provoking the people and staff. As per the sources, Jones placed a Happy Meal Order online where she ordered Happy Meal Chocolate Shake, tea and fries, and Filet O Fish Sandwich.
By the time she reached the place to take her order, Jones was directed to a different drive-thru, but she parked her car and entered the counter simply outraged. However, the lady was obvious as there were some blunders on her order list, and she had to drive to the place to pick up the wrong order.
But her rage was not explained to the employees, people available at the eating place, and the unjustified mess and location of madness that she caused that Friday.
Florida Woman Tianis Jones Created A Huge Drama Over Late Food Order
Tianis Jones is a 22 years old pregnant lady from Florida who has become the hot topic of the days after her twerking video went viral. Further, Jones’s unacceptable behaviour caused her a big mess, and she even got arrested after hurling a tantrum at Mcdonald’s on Friday.
Be concerned; the young lady was apprehended on a burglary charge, abuse of a 911 call, assault, disorderly behaviour, and criminal mischief. Reportedly, she started a scene at the order pickup centre at Mcdonald’s and then called 911 and grouse to the Polk County PD concerning the mistake in her placed order.
More to this, the social media sources and users claim that Jones overreacted to his mild topic and even called 911 to complain about the employees. However, the call was later indicted in her crime charges as 911 call misuse.
Tianis Jones Twerk At McDonald’s Video Viral On Reddit
Tianis Jones is an American lady who twerked at the Mcdonald’s employees after a short session of smashing and eliminating the sense of the place for her mistakenly placed an order; she has now been arrested over burglary and assault.
Update: @PolkCoSheriff arrested Tianis Jones on Friday. She is also charged with Misuse of 911 for the call she made during the outburst at a Lakeland McDonald’s.
“I’m 5 months pregnant. These people don’t know how to run a m***********g McDonald’s,” she said during the call.
— Justin Schecker (@WFLAJustin) May 21, 2022
More to this, the video circulated all over the media sources within a second and created a serious talk worldwide. As seen in the video, she got to the exit; Jones turned toward the employees, lifted her dress to uncover her belly, and bent and began twerking at them. Well, the investigators noted the woman’s behaviour as unreasonable.
After Tianis Jones’s video went viral, the people tried to reach out to her on social media handles like Instagram. But the official username of the Florida lady is not accessible at the moment.
Therefore, netizens must wait some more time to follow her and know more about Jones after she feels comfortable sharing her personal details publicly on the web sources.

Moeller sees big things for Buckeyes' D
By Adam Rittenberg
Tyler Moeller could be called the resident historian of Ohio State's defense.
No Buckeyes defender has been on the roster longer than Moeller, who enters his sixth season this fall.
Recovered from a chest injury, linebacker Tyler Moeller is excited about Ohio State's defense.
Since his arrival in 2006, Moeller has been part of units that have ranked 12th, first, 14th, fifth and fourth nationally in yards allowed. He has seen Ohio State finish fifth, first, sixth, fifth and fifth nationally in points allowed.
On paper, the 2011 version of the Buckeyes' D might have a tough time continuing such an impressive run. The unit says goodbye to seven starters, including first-round pick Cameron Heyward and four other players selected in April's draft (Chimdi Chekwa, Brian Rolle, Ross Homan and Jermale Hines). Ohio State's defense must fill gaps in all three levels.
But Moeller isn't concerned about the unit's outlook. Just the opposite.
"I'm more excited about this defense than any defense since I've been here," he said. "The guys we're bringing back, the guys that are stepping up, even the people who you don't see in the first lineup, they're great."
Moeller rattles off names like lineman John Simon, linebacker Etienne Sabino, cornerback Dominic Clarke and safety Christian Bryant.
"We have a lot of playmakers," Moeller said. "At any position, anyone can make a turnover or a big play at any time."
One of the biggest reasons for optimism is Moeller himself. He returns to action after missing the final eight games of last season with a torn pectoral muscle.
Limited both in the weight room and on the field this spring, Moeller has been cleared for full participation. Unable to bench press for years because of the pectoral muscle, which began to tear before the 2008 season, Moeller is boosting his bench press and his body in preparation for camp next month.
"Compared to last year, I feel like I'm 10 times better," he said. "I was 200, 205 last season going in after my head injury, and I'm 219 today. I definitely got some mass back, my strength feels great, I feel almost 100 percent right now and we still have three, four more weeks until camp starts."
Although Moeller has played in only five games since 2008 -- he missed the entire 2009 season with a head injury after being assaulted in a Florida restaurant -- he showed good promise in limited action. He recorded two forced fumbles, an interception and 4.5 tackles for loss last season, despite an injury that kept getting worse until it tore.
Moeller played the "star" position, a safety in Ohio State's oft-used nickel package, last season. He could see time this fall at star or as an outside linebacker, a position he played in the first part of his Buckeyes career. He recently spent time watching film with new Buckeyes linebackers coach Mike Vrabel, who "gives a whole new perspective of what to look at," Moeller said.
Moeller doesn't care where he lines up.
"They’re really the same thing," he said. "Hopefully, the coaches will put me in a position where I can go out there and be the type of player I am."

Yes! You can housetrain a bunny. You can teach a rabbit to use a litterbox!
Rabbits are actually pretty easy to train. They will pick a few spots as their bunny bathroom and always go there. Our family rabbit (cleverly named Bun-Bun) had a three room “condo” — one enclosed room was the bedroom, the large, open room was the play and food area, and the other enclosed room was the bathroom. He faithfully used the smaller room for his potty and kept the other areas clean.
Older rabbits have a better attention span than younger rabbits, so you may find it easier to teach an adult rabbit to use a litterbox! Here’s how to train your bunny to use the box:
- Watch the place where your rabbit urinates –it is often a corner. Place the box there. Keep in mind, a bunny will sometimes poop in multiple areas to mark the area as his own. But rabbits usually only piddle in one spot.
- Put a handful of hay in the litterbox to make it more welcoming. And who hasn’t wished for a fridge in the bathroom so you could have a little snack while you do your business?
- If the rabbit chooses another place to urinate after you have placed the litterbox, move the box to the new piddle location, or add a second box.
- If your rabbit has free run of the house and doesn’t live (and potty) just in her cage, you need to keep a watchful eye. If she starts to urinate in an inappropriate place, you need to give a sharp NO and herd her towards the nearest litterbox. You don’t want to FORCE her into the box — it shouldn’t be a place of punishment.
- Be patient. For all their speed when they’re spooked, rabbits are slow movers. It’s going to take your bunny a while to figure out that litterbox = new bathroom.
You can help the process along by making sure the litterbox is cleaned frequently. That helps you, too, because bunny piddle is pretty stinky.

South Africa’s state-owned power company Eskom, which produces 90 per cent of the country’s electricity, is beleaguered with old and poorly maintained coal-fired power plants prone to breakdowns. It’s also around €23.7 billion in debt.
As demand outpaces supply, there have been scheduled blackouts - known as ‘load shedding’ - for up to 12 hours a day, impacting the lives and livelihoods of 60 million South Africans.
The nation is still largely dependent on fossil fuels, with only 7 per cent of its energy coming from renewables in 2020, according to the International Energy Agency.
So what does Ramaphosa’s announcement last week mean exactly, and could it hasten South Africa’s clean energy transition as well as resolve the immediate crisis?
The president has the power under the 2002 National Disaster Management Act to declare a crisis on this level if existing legislation cannot deal with the problem.
This gives the government powers to release resources to tackle the disaster, appoint people to provide emergency services and to bypass existing laws in the procurement and delivery of goods and services.
A cabinet member then oversees the process, heading up an intergovernmental committee to mitigate the disaster through co-ordination between national, provincial and municipal bodies and the National Disaster Management Centre.

Workplace wellness programs need to be holistic in order to benefit companies and individuals alike.
Effective workplace wellness programs help reduce absenteeism, increase productivity, increase engagement, and reduce employee turnover.
Measuring results can help develop and improve workplace wellness.
Research has found that employee wellbeing benefits individuals and companies alike. However, studies have also found that employee wellbeing programs aren’t always as effective and beneficial to a person’s health.
Though the question of whether companies should offer workplace wellness programs is settled (the answer is an obvious YES), there’s still much that can be done to improve these efforts and their respective impact. Long gone are the days of wellness programs that focus on getting people to stop smoking or lose weight; instead wellness programs today are much more holistic and work to address mental, physical, social, spiritual, emotional, occupational, and intellectual health.
Suggested Reading: “20 Wellness Initiatives for Your Coworking Space”
Effective workplace wellness programs can help reduce absenteeism, increase productivity, engage the workforce, reduce employee turnover, increase customer satisfaction, and increase profitability. You can read more about this research here.
How to Improve Workplace Wellness
1. Develop and Nurture a Culture of Wellness
A culture of workplace wellness needs first and foremost for the workplace environment to be conducive to wellbeing. It’s an environment that reduces or eliminates barriers in order to encourage workers to make healthy decisions and adopt healthy behaviors.
Strategies to create a culture of wellness include:
- Mandate movement. Have a central staircase, encourage people to take regular breaks, encourage walking meetings, and offer bike storage and shower facilities to encourage people to cycle or walk to work.
- Offer healthy snacks and beverages. Unhealthy eating has been categorized as an occupational hazard. Instead of offering hyperpalatable snacks and sugary beverages in your kitchen or during events, fill your kitchen cabinets with healthy snacks like walnuts, blueberries, oatmeal, and jerky. When it comes to food in the workplace, it’s not just about eating, it’s about nourishing our bodies. Check out The Best Snacks to Improve Cognitive Function in the Workplace
- Reward healthy behavior. Provide incentives in order to increase engagement and participation in your workplace wellness programs. Give companies a shout out, offer a one hour-massage discount, offer a day off, or pay employees who get a full night’s sleep like this Japanese company.

2. Focus on Your Workplace Environment
This goes hand in hand with creating a culture of wellness. In order to create such a culture, the built environment needs to be conducive to wellness. To show people that you truly care about their wellbeing, your workplace needs to make them feel better, not worse, when they walk in and as the hours go by.
Workplace environments that are conducive to wellness include the following elements:
- Great indoor air quality (here are some Easy Ways to Improve Indoor Air Quality)
- Reduce noise levels as these can be a source of stress and distraction
- Bring the outdoors in through biophilic design and by adding plants to your workplace (here are the 7 Best, Low-Maintenance Plants for Indoor Environments)
- Let the light in! Natural light is the secret ingredient for a happy workplace (here are 11 Tricks to Maximize Natural Light in the Workplace)
Effective communication is needed to drive participation and engagement with your workplace wellness programs. Communicate openly and honestly with employees about which programs you want to offer, ask them for feedback to see if they would be interested in them, and clearly define your goals and expectations.
Communication about wellness should be regular and communication channels should be used to communicate about events (from your workplace or external community like half marathons, biking outings, etc.), as well as to communicate about when success will be measured and to give a shout out or highlight a specific program or success.
Without proper communication, workplace wellness programs won’t reach their full potential and impact.
4. Address Mental Health
Workplace wellness programs that fail to address mental health are, to a certain extent, incomplete. Though there’s traditionally been a negative stigma around mental health in the workplace, companies can no longer ignore it and they need to provide emotional support to employees.
Depression, anxiety, stress, and other mental health disorders cost companies thousands of dollars a year in the form of lost productivity, increased absenteeism, and having an unengaged workforce. Not to mention that people whose mental health is not optimal tend to have a harder time focusing and solving problems.
Here you will find several ways in which you can address mental health in the workplace.
5. Track, Measure, and Follow-up
The effectiveness and impact of workplace wellness programs can be measured in a variety of ways depending on the program. Companies should conduct regular evaluations of wellness programs, and follow-up with participants to get their take on the program’s effectiveness, attractiveness, and how it can be improved.
Some things you can measure:
- The number of sick days over a period of time
- Measure employee turnover and engagement (engagement can be measured by sending surveys and comparing how many people participated vs before your programs)
- Individual measures for specific programs and participants (weight, blood pressure, average steps walked daily, etc.)
There are various technology platforms out there that can make it easier for companies and individuals to track their success and monitor their progress.

What is a carer?
A carer is someone who, without payment, provides help and support to a partner, child, relative, friend or neighbour, who could not manage without their help. This could be due to age, physical or mental illness, addiction or disability.
Anyone can become a carer; carers come from all walks of life, all cultures and can be of any age.Many carers do not consider themselves to be a carer; they are just looking after their mother, son or best friend, just getting on with it and doing what anyone else would in the same situation.
As a carer you have the right to a carers assessment.
A carers assessment is your right to have your needs assessed by your local authority. It will enable you to tell us what impact caring has on you and your life, and whether you are willing and able to continue to provide this care. It also looks at whether you would like to change anything about your caring role at the moment.
For example, you may find that you have less time to spend with other members of your family, or are finding it hard to have time for yourself.

Our services are for people over 18 with mental health problems. We provide care in a variety of settings and offer different levels of support to meet individual need. For example we may offer weekly visits or fortnightly visits or daily telephone calls, depending on the individual situation.
Why is the person I am caring for being referred to the Assertive Outreach Team?
If an individual is aged over 18 with mental health problems and in the past they have experienced difficulty in working with other teams or services or had problems getting the right support; they may be referred to the Assertive Outreach Team. We may be able to offer weekly visits or daily phone calls depending on individual circumstances.
Why is the person I am caring for being referred to the Focus Outreach and Street Population team?
If someone is a single homeless person with mental health problems aged 18 or over within the London borough of Camden, they may be referred to Focus. The team work with street homeless people and within the direct access hostels in Camden.
Why is the person I am caring for being referred to a Community Rehabilitation and Recovery Team?
If someone is aged 18 or over with mental health problems, you may be referred to a Rehabilitation and Recovery Team. The team works together to provide a psychiatric review, prescribe medication and provide an assessment for your social care needs. We also monitor your physical health. There are teams covering the North and South of each borough.
Why is the person I am caring for being referred to the Early Intervention Service?
If someone is experiencing a first episode of psychosis and aged 18 or over they may be referred to the EarlyIntervention Service. The teams aim is to give people the best chance of recovery after a first episode of psychosis and to reduce the severity of further periods of illness.

We also offer regular telephone contact depending on the individual circumstances. We aim to work closely with carers with the permission of the cared for person and make sure both feel safe and supported.
What is an assessment?
An assessment is a health check carried out by a mental health professional to better understand a person’s current mental health state and needs.
What is a care plan?
This is a written plan describing how we will work with someone and what we both want to achieve; you will both receive a copy of this plan unless the cared for person objects.
What is a care coordinator?
The main person in the team that discusses someone’s needs, or the person who visits the individual most frequently. The care coordinator is also the person responsible for overseeing and reviewing an individual’s care plan.
What happens when the service user is discharged?
Discharge from one of the mental health teams will be planned with the clinical team. If appropriate, some patients will be referred to other services within the rehabilitation and recovery division. Some discharged patients will be referred to new community teams within other divisions.
Some discharged patients will be discharged to the care of their GP, if they become unwell again within six months they can be referred back to their community team.
If someone needs more support after this time, the GP can refer them to the appropriate community team.
Confidentiality and information sharing for carers, friends and relativesYou might find that professionals won’t talk to you about your relatives treatment or care. This might make you feel frustrated and less able to support them.
Generally, professionals can only share information with you or other people if your relative ‘consents’ (tells them that they can.) This is even with close family. It is because professionals have to work in a confidential way.
If your relative does give consent, then professionals can talk to you about their care or treatment. Your relative may decide to only share certain things about their care or treatment. Professionals should regularly ask whether your relative wants information to be shared and keep a record.
A professional can sometimes share personal information without consent, but only in very limited situations. This is called ‘breaching confidentiality’ when it can be in the public’s interests. For example a doctor may decide to share information with the police if the person might be a risk to other people or if it is through a court order or other legal obligation.If this happens to your relative,
the professional should let them know that they are doing this and why.
If a professional shares information without consent and it is not under exceptional circumstances, your relative could take legal action. This means that most professionals are very careful about sticking to the rules.
If you would like to know more, there is a link to the confidentiality statement on the carers page on the Trust website. Staff can print it off for you.
Feedback and complaintsIf you have concerns about a friend or relatives care and treatment, please talk to a member of staff or contact our Advice and Complaints Service.
Office address: Advice and Complaints Service, Camden andIslington NHS Foundation Trust, 4 St Pancras Way, London, NW1 OPE
We may need to seek your friend or relative’s consent, for confidentiality reasons, before we can reply to you.
If you need help and support in making a complaint you can contact the NHS Complaints Advocacy Service which is provided by Voiceability. This is an independent body that can help you to make a complaint.

DiagnosesSchizophrenia• A diagnosis of schizophrenia does not mean ‘split personality’, or
indicate that someone will swing wildly from being calm to being out of control.
• Sensational stories in the press tend to present people with schizophrenia as dangerous, even though most people diagnosed with schizophrenia don’t commit violent crimes.
• Schizophrenia is a mental illness that affects the way an individual thinks. They may become upset, anxious, confused and suspicious of other people, particularly anyone who doesn’t agree with the person’s perceptions. The individual may be unaware or reluctant to believe that they need help.
• The symptoms can be divided into ‘positive’ and ‘negative’ symptoms.• Positive symptoms include experiencing things that are not real
(hallucinations) and having unusual beliefs (delusions).• Negative symptoms include lack of motivation and becoming
withdrawn. These symptoms are generally more long-lasting.• Someone’s genes, circumstances and stress may all play a role in
developing schizophrenia.• The symptoms of schizophrenia can be disruptive and have an impact
on someone’s ability to carry on with day-to-day tasks, such as going to work, maintaining relationships with other people, being able to care for yourself or for others.
• Medication and therapy can help treat symptoms of schizophrenia.
Bipolar disorder• Bipolar disorder also known as bipolar affective disorder, can cause
someone’s mood to swing from high (mania) to low (depression)• Symptoms of mania can be: increased energy, excitement, impulsive
behaviour and increased belief in your own powers.• Symptoms of depression can be: lack of energy, feelings of
worthlessness, low self-esteem and suicidal thoughts.• Someone’s genes, circumstances and stress may all play a role in
developing bipolar disorder.• An individual can be offered medication and psychological treatment
for bipolar disorder.
Diagnoses cont’d...Psychosis• Psychosis (also called a
psychotic experience or episode) is when someone perceives or interprets events differently from people around them.
• Psychosis is a medical term used to describe hearing or seeing things, or holding unusual beliefs that other people do not share.
• Common examples include hearing voices or believing that people are trying to do you harm.
• An individual can experience psychosis for a wide variety of reasons. For example it can be due to having a mental illness such as schizophrenia or bipolar disorder. It can also be caused by drug use, brain injury or extreme stress.
• There is no one single cause of psychosis but researchers believe that genes, biological factors and environment may play a part.
• If someone is experiencing very severe psychotic symptoms they may need more urgent help such as going to hospital, for example attending a local A & E department.
Schizoaffective disorder• The word schizoaffective has
two parts: ‘schizo’ refers to psychotic symptoms, ‘affective’ refers to mood symptoms.
• Schizoaffective disorder has some symptoms of schizophrenia and bipolar disorder.
• Symptoms can be mania, psychosis and depression.
• Genes, circumstances and stress may all play a role in developing schizoaffective disorder.
• An individual can be offered medication and talking therapies for help with schizoaffective disorder.
• Someone with a diagnosis of schizoaffective disorder may have times when they struggle to look after themselves, and when doctors consider someone lacks insight and understanding into their behaviour or how they are feeling. They may be quite well between episodes.
• Everyone is different, and episodes vary in length. Some people have repeated episodes, but this does not necessarily happen, and it may not be a lifetime diagnosis.
MedicationA doctor may offer someone medication if they have a mental illness. Sometimes an individual may feel that they do not want to take it because it is not right for them. Several medications may need to be tried before the right one is found. If someone has a problem with their medication, they should discuss it with their doctor. They could bring a friend, relative or advocate with them if they find it hard to talk to their doctor.
There are many medications in mental health, below are a few examples.
Antidepressants – are often used to treat depression and anxiety. A doctor may offer someone antidepressants if they have very low mood or symptoms of depression. They can also help with anxiety.
Antipsychotics – if an individual experiences psychosis as part of an illness, they may be offered antipsychotic medication. These drugs are generally used to treat psychosis, but are also used to treat mania, hypomania or depression.
Benzodiazepines – are medications sometimes used to treat anxiety. An individual can become addicted to benzodiazepines, therefore they are not offered over a long period of time.
Mood stabilisers – can prevent someone’s mood from swinging from high to low. They are often used to treat bipolar disorder. There are a number of different mood stabilisers that can suit people differently and can have side effects.
Drugs, alcohol and mental healthWhen someone with a mental illness also uses drugs, doctors call this ‘dual diagnosis’. Drugs mean recreational drugs, alcohol or prescription drugs. Drugs can make the symptoms of some-one’s mental illness worse. Some drugs may make it more likely for someone to get a mental illness. There are many reasons why someone may use drugs. Some people use them to try and deal with their symptoms. This is called ‘self-medication’. Drugs can make someone’s mental illness worse. They can make someone’s illness harder to treat.

All our teams work with service users and carers to make sure they feel safe and are not being hurt by others. This is called safeguarding. If you are worried about yourself or the person you care for, please talk to your care coordinator or contact one of the numbers of the back page.
Community treatment ordersIf someone you care for is in hospital, they could be under a section of the Mental Health Act1983.
If they are on a Section 3, the responsible clinician (the person who is in charge of someone’s care, usually the psychiatrist) can arrange for them to have supervised community treatment instead of complete discharge.
Someone can also have supervised community treatment if they have been on a section37. This is a section of the Mental Health Act where you get a hospital order instead of a prison sentence. You cannot be put on a CTO if you are on a section 2 or a voluntary patient.
If someone has supervised community treatment, they will leave hospital under a community treatment order (CTO). A CTO means that an individual has to keep to certain conditions to remain in the community, for example engaging with their community team. It also means that the person’s responsible clinician can make them come back into hospital. This is called CTO recall. The doctor could do this if someone breaks a condition of their CTO or if they feel the
person has become unwell again.
A responsible clinician and an Approved Mental Health Professional (AMHP) must both agree to make a CTO. An AMHP is someone who has had special training on the Mental Health Act.
An AMHP and a responsible clinician can only put someone on a CTO when they are still in hospital on a Section 3 or 37. If someone has been discharged from their section, they cannot be put on a CTO.
If a responsible clinician is thinking about a CTO for someone, a carer or relative can be involved in the discussion if that person is in agreement with this. That person can also have an Independent Mental Health Advocate (IMHA) to support them during the discussion. They can let the person know what their rights are and help put their views across.
A first CTO can last for up to six months. After this the person’s responsible clinician has to renew it. If they renew it, they can only renew it for another six months. If they want to renew it again, they can then renew it for a year at a time. An AMPH must agree to continue the CTO.
If someone does not agree with their CTO they can appeal the decision in two ways.
They can apply for a Mental Health Review Tribunal. They can apply within the first six months of the CTO and once during each renewal period. The same rules apply if they want to appeal a CTO being revoked. (This may happen after someone has broken their conditions and been recalled back to hospital.)
If someone is on a CTO and wants to appeal, they can appeal to the hospital managers of the responsible hospital at any time. This is the hospital that they would most likely be recalled to. The hospital manager can discharge someone from their CTO.
If someone is on a CTO, they are entitled to legal representation if they would like to challenge their CTO in a Mental Health Review Tribunal. They are also entitled to an Independent Mental Health Advocate (IMHA). An IMHA can help someone understand their rights and put their views across.
If a person’s CTO comes to an end without being renewed, they are no longer under a CTO and cannot be recalled to hospital.
If a person is admitted to hospital via CTO recall, the community team will still work with that person after discharge.

Smoking cessation supportCamden and Islington is a no smoking Foundation Trust. Smoking is not permitted anywhere on site. Smoking cessation support is offered.
People often think they need to keep smoking to manage stress levels, but addiction to nicotine actually causes stress and causes low mood. Stopping smoking improves anxiety, stress levels and improves depressed mood.For people leaving hospital, or moving between services during an attempt to stop smoking, they will continue to be offered support in their new service.
On inpatient wards, all smokers will be assessed at
the point of admission, provided with nicotine replacement therapy, and will be offered a referral to a smoking cessation advisor. If someone wants to use an e-cigarette, a member of staff will be able to give further information on where this is allowed.

Jargon busterTalking therapies - this involves talking about problems with a trained professional.
Talking Therapies try to work out what may have caused problems in the first place and help people learn ways of managing them.
Talking Therapies include, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) – this focuses on the here and now and looks at how automatic thoughts can affect how an individual feels and aims to change these.
Psychotherapy is another type of talking therapy. Psychotherapy focuses on someone’s early relationships and experiences and how they may impact on current relationships.
Recovery – this is the idea that people can define for themselves how they will recover from their mental distress, and what this will look like when it has happened. For some people with enduring mental health conditions, this might not mean having no medical symptoms of mental disorder, but rather being able to manage these and participate in daily life as the person wishes.
Care coordination - a care coordinator will be the first person to speak to if you have worries about the person you care for. There may also be a duty worker who you can speak to, if you cannot speak to their care coordinator. A care coordinator is a person who works for a mental health team, usually a nurse, occupational therapist or social worker, who supports a service user to create a care plan. They then make connections with the people and services identified in the care plan to support the person to recover from their current difficulties. Everyone under CPA has a care coordinator.
Intervention – this is the treatment or service which is offered by a team. We are interested in all aspects of care and treatment, including education, employment, physical health and social care needs. The teams are made up of highly skilled mental health professionals who can help support an individual in all of these areas. We offer home visits and also see people at our community bases. We also may be able to offer regular telephone contact. We aim to work closely with carers with the permission of the cared for person. The Care Act 2014 brings a statutory duty for carers to be offered a carers assessment, regardless of their needs for support or their financial resources, or those of the adult that they care for. Interventions are based on the recovery model and aim to help individuals build their skills, confidence and self-esteem.
In a crisis
If you or someone else is in immediate danger or risk of harm, dial 999.
Contact the police if the person you are caring for is violent or you do not feel safe with them because they may become violent. The police are experienced at dealing with this sort of situation. Do not feel reluctant to contact them.
These agencies can also help:Men’s Advice Line: 0808 801 0327Solace Women’s Aid: 0808 802 5565
In an emergency, you can always attend the accident and emergency department at your local hospital. They will be able to access someone’s mental state and treat accordingly. In most accident and emergency departments a psychiatric liaison team is available.

A reader asks:
What about the choking hazard of peanut butter? I have read that it is not recommended before age 3 due to the possibility of choking as young children cannot generate enough force to cough out a bolus of peanut butter crackers, for example, if it is in their airway.
I suspect in the case of peanut butter crackers, the risk of choking in very young children lies more with the dryness of the crackers rather than the small schmear of peanut butter. Still, the point is a good one as it makes us think of how to incorporate peanuts (or peanut butter) into an older infant’s or toddler’s diet in order to help prevent the development of peanut allergies.
In the NEJM study we looked at earlier today, participants were given six grams of peanut protein per week. One serving (2 tablespoons) of natural, creamy peanut butter provides about 7 grams of peanut protein. That’s less than a teaspoon per day, which isn’t much. How to incorporate this into the diet of an older infant and toddler is the challenge. All I know is that I wouldn’t put it on a saltine cracker until they are old enough to handle it! Three years old sounds about right!
Also, I can’t stress enough how important it is NOT to give infants and toddlers (and even preschoolers) whole nuts, for these are truly choking hazards.

True man of the people:
"Trump simply doesn’t have the ability to form a coalition of strength the way our country is now constructed and populated."
As America (or at least, 37% of it), prepares to inaugurate Donald Trump as its next President, I think it’s a good time to put Major Re-Write out to pasture. This was my…5th?--or maybe even 6th blog to date; but this one never really got going. But that’s okay. Now that I see where the world and specifically this country’s going, I’ve got nothing to say to anybody. And apparently my neighbors (or at least, 37% of ‘em), don’t want to hear from me either. Course in a move that will surprise no one that’s followed me over the years, I’ll be starting my new blog called Open Mic in a couple weeks (I’ll post the link here when it’s up and running).
So, I’m going to end Major Re-Write by talking about the beginning. The beginning of perhaps the end. The end of public civility—or the expectation of it from our leaders. The end of respect for education. Or of institutions like the FBI or CIA or the Supreme Court. The end of critical and strategic thinking. Of precedent. Of journalism and its role in a Democracy. Or for that matter--of any writing that’s longer than 140 freaking characters.
In my life I’ve found that, regardless of the field or endeavor, you can usually tell successes and/or major failures right from the start. There are always exceptions, but the signs more often than not are evident from the get-go. In the case of President-elect Trump, his inability to ever surpass the 40% vote mark—even in the early Republican primaries, was a harbinger of all the problems I see likely to come for his administration. Even as he slowly peeled off one B-list (or C-list) Repub after another from the Republican Primary field, he still never got over 40-something % in any one contest* (*you might want to fact-check that). This was always my biggest concern and complaint against him from the start. He simply doesn’t have the ability to form a coalition of strength the way our country is now constructed and populated. Yes, he achieved the Affirmative Action/Electoral College win—I’m not going to challenge that; but that was by winning 49% of the 60% of eligible voters who were actually able to keep their lunch down and vote for one the two worst candidates in American history. That’s a God-awful way to start your term, especially when you consider how motivated Trump voters were to get to the polls. Whether it was their Floyd Mayweather/Justin Beiber-like hatred for Hillary Clinton or Barack Obama; or just their belief in the orange-haired Caucasian messiah from NYC with the creepy, thin-lipped, East-European Stepford wife, Trump voters turned out! Showed up at the polls. And yet, they still couldn’t get past the 49% mark. 49% of 60% is…an elected President? I’d call it more of a, “declared winner by the rules as written.”
I repeat, as of this writing Trump’s approval rating stands at 37%. This is where he’s starting his first-term. That’s going hurt him (and us) sooner rather than later. My prediction (which I’ll admit isn’t very unique or original) is a relatively smooth ride for the first 8 to 10 months as the Repubs use him to pass what they want and secure their Supreme Court nominations; and then—as their paths begin to diverge, the center’s going to fail to hold.
Course I’ve been wrong throughout most of this process to date, so one more time wouldn’t be shocking. If there really is such a thing as karma, then Donald Trump must have been some kind of 11 year old Thai-boy prostitute in his past life. He’s certainly gotten and gets every break in this life. Inherited the equivalent of $250 million dollars as a kid for no accomplishment of his own. Wins the Repub nomination against the worst 12 pieces of Republican shyte this country’s ever produced. Obtains the Presidency via an Electoral College win against the lamest Democratic candidate since Michael Dukakis—and only accomplished that with the help of the Russians, a last-second intervention by the FBI’s James Comey, and the decision by Joe Biden not to run. And now he's going to inherit a rapidly growing economy that’s already at full-employment; with rising home prices; the stock market at record levels; and no on-going, full-time military commitments (least beyond what’s been normal for the leading country of NATO and the free world). Plus he gets a majority Repub Congress that’s going to pass tax reform and ease banking/business regulations. So committing this post to writing may prove to be a real big embarrassment for old Lodo Grdzak in years to come. Yet I promise not to take this post down or edit it even if that proves to be the case.
But unfortunately, I don’t think that’s going to be an issue; mainly because the failure to achieve the 50% or higher approval rating or vote-count is indicative of a larger, more fundamental problem for a candidate like George Bush Jr, or now Trump. One that goes beyond just policy disagreements. It says something in a very basic way about the candidate’s leadership powers--or lack thereof when they can’t clear that hurdle. Why cant they? Or couldn’t they? The #1 thing a leader does or is supposed to do is lead. Unite their party via charisma, shared interest and vision--and then take it to the country as a whole. And yet the numbers don’t lie. Never surpassed 40-something % in even the Repub primaries. 49% of 60% in the General Election. And now 37% approval rate. Should Trump lose too many more points to he’ll already be approaching Watergate numbers. Or 2nd term Bush Jr numbers. And were still a week away from inauguration.
The most disconcerting thing to me is, who’s going to start coming to Trump’s side over time? Where with his attitude—with his style and method of communication; his obvious disdain for the people is he going to suddenly start to pick-up support? Trump still won’t show his tax returns to clear-up his business/Russian dealings and is already complaining about having to give up a $2 billion dollar hotel deal in the Middle East because “he doesn’t like the way that’d look.” Gosh Donald, sorry being President is a step-down for you. Sorry if--God forbid we experience a terrorist attack, we Plebeians would like to know you’ve been a full-time President and not splitting your time between Trump, Inc. and that side-project known as President of the United States. Trump really has only one consistent base. People so committed to him that “he could walk down 5th Avenue and shoot somebody and they’d still vote for him.” And we all know who that is. And why he phrased it that way. So if/when things don’t go his way we know who he’s going to turn to for support. And against. To distract the masses or to intimidate the remaining populace.
I don’t think America would have ever descended to the point of a Donald Trump without the rise of the internet or its vile offspring—Twitter. The damage that robotics, and particularly the internet have done to society and community make crack cocaine look like a box of Pixie-sticks. Course the job-destroying creators of the internet and personal computers/smartphones presently hiding behind our political leaders aren’t street thugs. They went to Stanford and Harvard and MIT and the like--so no need to be concerned about that incessant, obsessive-compulsive need to check your emails. Nothing psychologically damaging there. Let Capitalism flow like a river! That inability of your kid to focus on any single topic for more than 20 minutes ‘cause they’re checking their Facebook status or responding in kind (plus one) to that chat-board commenter on the opposite side of the issue? Healthy stuff for mind and critical thinking! Spending time contemplating just ONE topic is so last century!!
The realities of today’s modern predicament have caught up with the First World in the form of Donald Trump. Fact is, we don’t like each other. Many of us over 50 don’t like ourselves. There’s too many of us. There’s not enough meaningful, satisfying work for us to do and the work that does exist is all mental. Intellectual. Chick shit and fag stuff. It doesn’t exhaust the body’s physical energy. Instead, that energy keeps getting turned back on itself via that previously mentioned Facebook and internet and FOX News and the like. Cycling in what I’d argue is a very unhealthy manner. And yet Google, Apple, GM, Amazon—they’re all stampeding full speed ahead towards artificial intelligence, driver-less cars, drone delivery service. The days of walking down a quiet street will soon be a thing of the past. Instead we’ll have the constant humming and buzzing of drones in our ear, the underlying chirp of street signs communicating with traffic signals will be the new summertime crickets, and of course there’s going to be cameras, cameras, cameras! All while we sit at home or our cars and look out the window like a dog for our next delivery.
Einstein once famously stated that you can’t simultaneously prepare for war while preparing for peace; and in a similar vein I’d assert that you cannot consistently de-value human life and the value of work on a daily basis, and then expect people to have more respect for each other. Or themselves. Yet here we are adding roughly a million people to our overall world’s population and labor force every single week while Apple, Amazon, Google and the like continue to destroy the need for mom and pop businesses; for commercial real estate like malls; for drivers of cars and trucks; for factory workers. No more need for a watch, no more need for a calendar, no more need for a camera, or film, or a newspaper, or record store, or a map, or a travel agent, or…where are all those big job gains and products technology and Trump have promised supposed to come from?
There’s a point where the convenience allegedly secured or obtained via technology simply flattens out. Or even diminishes my happiness. And intellect. Once you have hot/cold running water in your house; a fridge; electricity; a toilet and shower; a stove/oven; a car; a stereo; a TV. These are life-changing things for someone who’ve never had them before. Big things. That said, beyond those modern necessities, everything else is just more shit. Stuff. The fact that I can monitor my house while I’m away at work via cameras and timers. Uh, okay. I wouldn’t exactly call that a necessity or life-changing product. Just another distraction really. Another device for the Russians and crooks to hack. The fact that I can record my shows via TIVO? Wow! What a world. But where are the places going to be where we come together in common cause? Chores are,…well a chore, but they provide a platform where we can work together in pursuit of a singular goal. Where we can pass the time with each other—not online, but in-person (a/k/a reality). Creating a machine that wipes my ass for me when I get up from the toilet isn’t necessarily empowering. Kind of makes me a baby doesn’t it? And removing the need for physical community makes me isolated, not connected to my neighborhood or country.
Were on the road to nowhere in a driver-less car, but no political leader can ever say “have smaller families.” No CEO of a company can admit “Uh, maybe the modern corporation doesn’t create or increase economic opportunity anymore.” That’s a big no-no to say in a Capitalistic society. Capitalism always needs more people! Always lifts boats! To reject that is heresy. So the CEO’s hide behind the politicians. And the politicians hide behind the flag and religion and mostly phony idealism. Trump is supposed to be the cure for all that. That anti-politician. The supposedly “straight-shooter.” Yet he’s already done a 180 on the Russian hacks. Already done a 180 on refusing to settle his Trump University lawsuit (now settled for $25 million dollars). Already done a 180 on his agreement to fully divest from his business holdings. And at 37% approval, already proven he can’t live up to his promise to unite the country.
And his term is just beginning.
Maybe Trump’s genuinely got an economic plan. From what I’ve seen so far it looks like the plan is another Obama-like stimulus (which the Repubs simply call an Infrastructure Bill or Border Wall) coupled with the repatriation of billions in overseas money by Apple, GE, and Amazon. Wow, what an original mind Trump’s got, though it'll probably be enough to create the short-term illusion of actual economic accomplishment. Then again, maybe economic progress isn’t the goal. Maybe more stagnation is the plan. More stagnation, more anxiety, more political instability, and then…when someone here at home finally loses it and takes a shot at the wrong leader or institution—bam! The race-baiting starts. The search for an enemy. Marshall Law.
Probably not. Fact is I hate Trump so much I can’t really think straight about the guy. The Tweeted messages, the myth of his great business acumen when in fact he lost over $900 million dollars (in boom year 1995!). Plus it’s been proven that if he just put his money in the Russell 2000 all those years ago he’d have done a lot better than where he’s at. Let’s not forget the grossly obvious pandering to hillbillies he’d never even let on his servant’s driveway; the adolescent 3rd world banana-republic blustering; or the never-ending appeasement by his supporters on his tax returns, his five military deferments, and the way he and his wife conduct themselves (remember all the critiques of Obama’s conduct for simply appearing on a talk show?). How ‘bout the worldwide exposure of his real estate holdings to possible terrorism? Are U.S. soldiers now expected to respond to that very likely possibility? We've now got another two-dozen "embassies" to protect. In the name of Trump. You’re tired of the “Wall Street bankers” and insiders so you elect trust-fund Trump? And now what kind of people does he have in his cabinet?
Course my issues with Trump are more direct. More visceral. You cant hate a guy like I hate Trump until you have personal experiences.
Most of my readers know I’m an insurance investigator. That’s my trade. Around the time I first moved to NYC—a few years after, but lets not get bogged down; I got a job at a private firm. When I was hired we negotiated salary, benefits and whatnot. One of the things we absolutely agreed upon was that I’d receive $250 a month as a car allowance. For parking, insurance and…whatever. That’s something I insisted upon and I negotiated for it. It was agreed via handshake.
But after just two months I got my paycheck and expense check and…where’s my freaking car allowance? I called up my boss—Tony.
“Tony, you forgot to send me my car allowance.”
“I didnt forget Lodo, I’m not paying that anymore.”
“What do you mean you’re not paying it? That’s $250 a month.”
“I know, that’s why I’m not paying it. I’ve looked at your billing--you never use your car.”
“You knew I wasn’t going to use it in the city. We talked about that at my interview. …Are you gonna raise my pay another $250 a month? That’s gonna get taxed differently, but I guess I can accept that.”
“I’m not giving you anything Lodo, you don’t use the car.”
“I havent used it yet. Besides, that doesn’t matter. We had an agreement. This is just part of my overall pay-package. We talked about this at length.”
“Yeah, well I’m not paying that. You wanna leave after two months—go ahead. How you think that’s going to look? ”
Freaking asshole. Hope you know I walked right then.
And that’s not the only time. I got a job several years later with a guy named Barry. A guy who I thought was my friend; so again, just a handshake. But within the first month of working with him he tried making major changes to my healthcare plan. Shortly thereafter he called me into his office to make a lot of petty complaints.
“Lodo, it takes us hours to re-write your reports. They’re terrible.”
“Hours?--really? With an “s” at the end? I was always told reporting’s my best thing. I’ve had companies use my reports as their samples for new hires. That’s surprising to me.”
“Well its true. And that’s why I’m not going to be able to keep paying you the same rate.”
“Wait a minute, it takes you hours—with an ‘s’ at the end to edit my reports but you’re not firing me? You just want to pay me less?”
“Yep. I cant pay you the same for this kind of work.”
“Why wouldn’t you fire me if its taking you hours to rework my reports?”
“Look, here’s the deal—take it or leave it.”
So you know I left that too. But I could afford to, which is what lying leeches like Barry and Trump don’t expect. Or want.
Luckily for me I’m one of the best at what I do. And I have a trade that’s stable. But for the young people (and those over 55); when the work dries up, trust amongst ourselves diminishes, the proverbial office water-cooler and meeting places disappear due to technology, the original traditions of our country age, the population gets old and tired, and critical thinking skills erode due to TV and Facebook and the like, what’re you left with?I suppose one thing. A thing that never goes away. So simple its black and white. And you can bet Trump and his team know who’ll support him if and when he decides to take that walk down 5th Avenue.
* NOTE: I should be starting my new blog in a few weeks. Link will be posted at this site. Thanks for reading y'all!!

GBP: Watch tomorrow’s data for signs of confidence
EUR: Inflation will not bring it back
USD: Biden to launch infrastructure plans
Sterling seems to be biding its time at the moment, rounding out the quarter higher against the euro but lower against the dollar.
PMI numbers from the UK tomorrow will show whether confidence in the UK economy has returned alongside the government’s reopening plans and the NHS’s ability to provide a strong vaccination program. We hope to see increased orders from manufacturing companies alongside containment of costs within the supply chain although are fully prepared for higher price signals, leading to a stronger pound.
All eyes will fall on the Eurozone inflation figures due this morning as investors wait to see whether there is enough price pressure to motivate the ECB into a change in policy; we think not. Any increase in inflation is likely to be looked through by the central bank and is therefore unlikely in our eyes to cause a reversal in fortunes for the single currency.
Eventually, we will see inflation rise close to target but the combination of one-off factors – oil price moves, VAT increases – will allow the central bank to say that they are happy that underlying inflation still needs support from monetary policy, limiting the euro’s advances.
Focus on the USD heading into the end of the quarter remains squarely on its ability to push higher despite markets jumping on the reflation bandwagon, and further spending plans due from the Biden some point today.
Biden’s plans for a $2trn spending package will be announced later in a bid for America to “Build Back Better” following the pandemic. None of these plans are ready for ground to be broken imminently, so the pressure on inflation in the short term and the benefit to jobs is some way off in the distance but will not have economists downgrading their US growth expectations moving forward.
Higher corporation taxes that are due to be the main revenue raiser for these plans may also cause the dollar to slip eventually but we are a way off that being law with a heavy fight in Congress expected.
In summary, the pressure that the USD is exerting on wider markets is by no means novel but it is certainly something that currencies are struggling to overcome and we expect the USD to remain strong pushing into the new month.
Focus will remain on Japan overnight with the publication of the influential Tankan survey of Japanese businesses. A stronger recovery is seen in manufacturing than non-manufacturing sectors and the weaker yen should support export facing businesses moving forward. Once again, inflation concerns will be closely monitored but are unlikely to show their heads in a meaningful manner anytime soon.

From this month, primary care, mental health, care and ambulance NHS trusts across England and Wales have committed themselves to promoting hand hygiene to all healthcare workers.
They have signed up to the National Patient Safety Agency’s (NPSA’s) award-winning cleanyourhands campaign, which has up until now predominantly focused on acute trusts.
The campaign aims to reduce the spread of preventable healthcare associated infections, such as MRSA and Clostridium Difficile, by improving the hand hygiene of healthcare workers. Staff are prompted to clean their hands using either alcohol handrub or soap and water at the critical time and place – where and when patient care is provided.
The campaign has been very well received since it launched in 2004 and has now been adopted by all NHS hospitals in England and Wales. Last month also saw a successful launch of the campaign in Northern Ireland’s Health and Social Care acute bodies.
Following the successful testing of the campaign by 19 pioneer organisations representing the different care settings, it is now being rolled out to the remaining NHS trusts. So far 89% of primary care trusts, 83% of mental health trusts and 75% of care trusts have signed up in England and Wales, and it has been particularly welcomed by ambulance trusts where 100% are backing the campaign.
This means that a variety of healthcare workers such as doctors, care assistants, allied health professionals, nurses, opticians, dentists, physiotherapists and paramedics in a wide range of settings, including community hospitals, clinics, health centres, and people’s homes, now have access to the campaign’s valuable promotional materials and support.
Speaking of the launch, Chief Executive, Martin Fletcher said: “Healthcare associated infection is not just a problem for hospitals. The extension of the cleanyourhands campaign to other healthcare settings aims to take a system-wide approach to the improvement of hand hygiene.
“These days many patients often travel between different healthcare settings to receive their care, meaning that there is a greater risk that infections are being spread. Good hand hygiene among healthcare workers is one of the most critical factors in reducing this.
“Our aim is to make hand hygiene an integral part of day-to-day healthcare. The cleanyourhands campaign offers healthcare organisations the opportunity to address both the systems and behavioural factors that contribute to low compliance with hand hygiene. If effectively implemented, the campaign will improve the quality of care and contribute to the reduction of preventable infections.”
Leading up to this month’s launch, all participating trusts completed a three-month preparation period to ensure the processes were in place to manage the campaign and staff at all levels were involved.
The campaign materials include posters that are changed monthly and leaflets aimed at patients, and have been distributed to all participating organisations. Patient leaflets and stickers can be seen with the phrase “It’s OK to ask”, designed to encourage patients and visitors to feel comfortable in reminding healthcare workers to clean their hands if they think they have forgotten.
The campaign materials are provided free of charge to participating organisations. However, trusts will continue to purchase and provide alcohol handrub themselves.
Any trusts who have not registered for the campaign will have the opportunity to join when the second stage of the campaign is rolled out in 2009.
Your comments (Terms and conditions apply):
“Hand hygiene compliance is paramount and one of the primary factors in infection prevention. It is everyone’s responsiblity to adhere to this: staff, patients and visitors. Because, regardless of status, we are all potential clients of healthcare. But I do expect healthcare workers to lead by example.” – Bev Hurst, Wigan, UK


The new Q-Flap RX non-return valve is a joint development between REMBE and the Swiss company RICO. The Q-Flap RX is available in nominal pipe sizes of DN 140 to DN 1250. The strict requirements of EN 16447 are mainly achieved through the very high strengths and flexible installation distances. The product range consists of three different design versions, each adapted to the application areas of the product.
Modular design for easy maintenance
The small sizes (up to DN 400) are designed for decentralised aspiration systems, e.g. in the chemical and pharmaceutical industries. With their small overall dimensions and integrated inspection flap they are also easy to install and maintain. The medium sizes also have an inspection flap and differ from the above-mentioned ones by their larger diameters. The largest sizes have a modular design so that maintenance and servicing can be carried out easily and thoroughly.

Difficulties with Mail Order Brides

Financial Services are commonly provided by most if not all Distributors to assist in making deals happen but cannot influence the outcome of a business in trouble. This requires the Reseller to communicate the problem, seek turn-around advice and support, and be provided with it - in good time.

The campaign is a continuation of the designer’s ode to the capital, and plays on its clichéd reputation for romance. The twist? The models in the postcard-worthy frames are couples, who were cast for their real-life chemistry.
Shot by wedding photographer Greg Finck, the campaign’s quintessentially Parisian flair and romantic overtones are undercut with Gvasalia’s typically Gvasalia aesthetic. The focus of the fashion is on outerwear, and the new ways the creative has found to shape-shift Balenciaga’s tailoring. “This house has such a long story, but my job is to modernise it and make it appealing to the customer we have today,” Gvasalia continued. “That was the exercise.”
As well as the “striking silhouettes [which] speak of a modern joie de vivre”, according to the press release, the Balenciaga shoppers are a focus. The iconography on the luxurious take on carrier bags emulates Parisian tourist kiosks, but really serves to highlight how shoppable Gvasalia’s streetwear still is. “[The collection] is for people who actually love fashion and go shopping. That’s what I do,” he surmised.

Benefits and drawbacks of Online Roulette
Perhaps you have played in a video roulette machine? If not, you should. For those who have seen one, you need to be thinking that it is quite different from the standard ones. It is because to the fact that the wagers in a gaming are greater than those in the other forms of roulette games. That means that the difference between your actual price of the balls and the amount of wagers is huge. Since you can find many players in most of these roulette games, the results that you’ll get in just a short period of time is very remarkable.
Alternatively, if you consider the social aspect of roulette, then you would believe that the players who are gathered in the game are the winners. That is why this has become probably the most popular games in casinos. The social aspect is closely connected with the betting system in this kind of game. It is because the more players you can find, the more the possibility that someone could be in a position to win.
Once the dealer happens with the roulette wheels, everyone will need a look at it. If there are people who are looking at the wheel, it’s likely that that they are trying to figure out how they can obtain winnings. The more players there are, the higher chance that there will be someone who can get the win. This is why the dealer always makes sure that there are enough numbers on the wheel for everybody to see.
In a video roulette machine, there’s always a dealer. However, in the standard version of the game, there are only two players that are being dealt with. The dealer deals the cards to both players and then places them on the table. After that, everyone will need turns getting their card and placing their bet prior to the dealer. There is also a house edge, meaning that even though the dealer can always deal another card to the other players, there is still a small % from the bets that goes to the home. This house edge will soon add up to your winnings over time, based on the number of times without a doubt.
With a table roulette game, there’s always one dealer, making it better to keep track of everything. The disadvantage, however, is that players will have to await the dealer to deal the cards before they are able to place their bets. This can make the game very boring for players who want to win quickly and move on. In addition, the lower minimum bet that the dealers require players to possess can make the game very costly for players who have a limit on their earnings per hour.
Roulette table games can either require players to bet a set amount or a certain amount of spins. There are two forms of spins: progressive and non-progressive. When playing a progressive roulette table, players will have to put real cash on the bets in order to gain spins. Players don’t need to change the quantity of bets on the go, however they do get the opportunity to gain spins once their initial investment is gone. Alternatively, in a non-progressive game, players can switch from one set to another anytime.
For online players who would like to try out roulette but cannot afford the expense of playing live games, online casinos offer versions of the classic game where players can play free of charge. These roulette games are accessible to newer players because they do not require users to start out playing with real money. They also have smaller start up costs, plus some sites let players start playing free of charge. However, players should understand that these free sites usually do not give players exactly the same odds or payouts they would get from reputable casinos. It is necessary for beginners to adhere to reputable online casinos when playing roulette online.
Video roulette is really a newer version of roulette, and players may use a handheld camcorder to see what’s happening 예스 카지노 on the table. This is particularly useful for players who don’t have time to sit in front of a dealer. In video roulette, the dealer hides all of the chips behind a set of computer screens. Players place their bets on specific chips, and the dealer then reveals the outcomes of their bets, making sure the chips that had been hidden are also revealed. The video presentation of the dealer’s hand may be slow and choppy, and players could find it hard to create out signals or changes in the dealer’s play.

The National Security Agency (NAS) have denied that they were aware of the Heratbleed bug before the security flaw was made public.
Reports that NSA or any other part of the government were aware of the so-called Heartbleed vulnerability before April 2014 are wrong. The Federal government was not aware of the recently identified vulnerability in OpenSSL until it was made public in a private sector cybersecurity report.
The Federal government relies on OpenSSL to protect the privacy of users of government websites and other online services.
If the Federal government, including the intelligence community, had discovered this vulnerability prior to last week, it would have been disclosed to the community responsible for OpenSSL.
The denial follows claims the NSA had known about the flaw for up to two years.
