A panel with representatives from government, schools, police and nonprofits gathered at Bergen Community College Tuesday to discuss a growing health issue: prescription drug abuse.
Forty Americans die each day from overdosing on prescription painkillers, said Angelo Valenti, executive director of the Partnership for a Drug-Free New Jersey.
One way to prevent these deaths is through education, he said.
"Tonight we are doing exactly what we need to do," Valenti said. "We are learning about the issue."
Meg Parisi learned the hard way. The Mantoloking resident's 21-year-old son Patrick died of a prescription drug overdose in November.
Patrick was addicted to OxyContin, a narcotic pain reliever. The pills helped relieve the pain of a genetic hip condition.
In time, he came to depend on the drug.
"In order to continue day to day, they must perpetuate their use," Parisi said of painkiller addicts.
OxyContin can become an expensive habit, Lt. Thomas Dombrowski of the Bergen County Prosecutor's Office Narcotics Task Force said. An 80-milligram OxyContin pill can go for $80 on the street.
The addiction can lead abusers to OxyContin's cheaper cousin, heroin, which is also derived from the poppy plant and provides a similar high.
"Heroin sells for $4 to $5 a bag," Dombrowski said.
One of the dangers of prescription drug abuse is that it does what it's supposed to do—relieve pain, Andrew Yeager, a school psychologist in the Park Ridge school district, said.
The payoff of abusing can outweigh the rational consequences parents and educators try to instill in children.
In addition to physical pain, OxyContin has a mitigating effect on the anxiety, shyness and even depression that some teens feel, Yeager said. So when they say yes the first time, it can be difficult to stop.
"Kids are getting their introduction to one of the most potent substances you can use," he said.
To prevent more cases like Patrick Parisi, Yeager said, parents need to continue educating their children about the dangers of drug abuse. They also need to limit how accessible prescription drugs are in their homes.
The great majority—70 percent—of young people abusing prescription drugs get access to it at home, Valenti said. In response, the Partnership for a Drug-Free New Jersey spearheaded a pilot program in New Jersey that would become a national model, now known as Operation Takeback.
The program, which allows residents to drop off prescription drugs at their local police departments, collected 9,000 pounds of medicine from 50,000 residents in its first year.
"People who were getting this message wanted to take action," Valenti said.
On the legislative side, Assemblywoman Valierie Vanieri Huttle helped pass a law establishing the Prescription Drug Monitoring Program, a statewide database that keeps track of drug prescriptions. Dombrowski called it an extremely important tool.
In the past, patients could shop around at multiple doctors to get multiple prescriptions for large quantities of drugs. The program allows pharmacists to check each patient's prescription history to prevent abuse.
But parents can take matters into their own hands, Parisi said.
"Put them in a safe," she said. "Everybody should have one."
Sarah, an alumna of the Spring House, a halfway house for women recovering from drug and alcohol addiction, said she the first supply of Xanax she abused was her mother's prescription. Sarah did not give her last name.
Sarah said she failed out of college and fell into other drugs, including heroin when she couldn't afford OxyContin.
"It really is in my opinion the same high," she said.
Sarah is back in college after going through rehabilitation programs including the Spring House. On May 29, she will have been clean and sober for 17 months.
"Spring House has given me my life back," she said.

Cockroach found inside Chandigarh Sector 3 Club's food; Food Safety Department launch probe
A lawyer along with his family went to the Chandigarh Sector 3 club to celebrate his son's birthday, but, what happened next was utterly shocking.-
A famous club in Chandigarh Sector 3 has come under scrutiny after dead cockroaches were found in their food. A lawyer along with his family went to the Chandigarh Sector 3 club to celebrate his son's birthday, however, what happened next was utterly shocking.
The lawyer, whose family was there to celebrate their son's special day, filed a complaint with the Food Safety Department, which is reportedly launching an immediate investigation into the alarming incident. The shocking revelation came when the lawyer and family discovered cockroaches in their meal, turning what was a joyous occasion into a nightmarish experience.
Deeply concerned for the safety of not only his family but also other patrons, the lawyer wasted no time in filing a formal complaint with the Chandigarh Food Safety Department. In response to the complaint, action was taken quickly and a team from the Food Safety Department was sent to inspect the kitchen of the club. However, when they arrived, they encountered a surprising twist.
The operators of the club were understood to have locked the kitchen and fled the premises, raising suspicions and increasing the need for a thorough investigation. As the incident gained public attention, questions were raised about the hygiene and safety practices of the club, which until then was known for its popularity among the city and its residents.
A lawyer and family gathered to celebrate his son's birthday were in disbelief when the party took an unexpected turn. Now, the food safety department plans to carry out a detailed inspection of the club's kitchen, the purpose of which is to find out the extent of hygiene violations and possible health risks for customers.
Authorities are determined to uncover the truth behind the horrific incident, which has raised concerns about the popular establishment's general cleanliness and adherence to food safety standards. Residents and regular patrons of the club expressed their shock and outrage at the incident on social media, demanding immediate action against the operators and enhanced security measures to avoid such incidents in the future.
The incident is a stark reminder of the critical importance of strict food safety regulations and the need for thorough inspections to ensure the well-being of the restaurant's customers.
The club and its reputation are at stake as the investigation progresses, and the food safety department and findings are likely to have far-reaching implications for the facility and future operations. The incident also encourages a wider debate about the vigilance necessary to ensure the highest standards of hygiene and safety in public facilities, especially those entrusted with serving food to the community.

Vicon Industries, Inc., a subsidiary of Cemtrex Inc. and a designer and manufacturer of video surveillance and access control products, has announced the launch of its new Valerus VMS Desktop Client.
Vicon says that its unified platform for controlling video, access control and license plate recognition (LPR) is now available as a desktop application. According to the company, this new client offers customers better resource management and enhanced performance because it leverages the perfect balance between CPU and GPU usage for more streams, especially at higher resolutions and frame rates.
“In keeping with Vicon’s commitment to innovation, the Valerus VMS continues to offer more sophisticated capabilities,” said Louie Rabenold, Vicon’s Director of VMS Products.
“And while the thin client experience works for many, browser-based video does not have direct access to the system resources that will optimize the experience for those more robust operations. This new client takes advantage of full system resources, so users can execute those demanding workflows that require more processing power.”
Vicon highlights that users will benefit from rapid response times — up to 50% faster in some cases. Less than two seconds to log-in, instantaneous video display and search results and more responsive digital zoom are among the advantages of having Valerus installed on the client machine.
For customers who are looking at live video on a constant basis, the ability to see many streams of smooth video simultaneously is critical. The company says that the live video experience now includes more simultaneous feeds per client, more cameras per screen, improved H.265 handling and markedly smooth video.
Finally, Vicon says that the desktop client’s enhanced UI renders a refreshed, updated look and feel with no “re-learning” required.
“Many of our existing customers deploy Valerus in command centers with many monitors — with a multitude of high-resolution streams — which requires increasingly higher performance, so this new desktop client will offer the ideal solution,” said Bret McGowan, Senior Vice President of Sales and Marketing.
“This new client takes advantage of full system resources, so customers can execute those demanding workflows that require more processing power. Plus, they’ll enjoy an enhanced viewing experience.”

I came across the July American VOGUE today (with the gorgeous Marion Cottillard on the cover) and while casually flicking through it I came upon a very luxe and beautifully shot editorial.
The story is a play on a 50s marriage gone wrong, (or is it 60s? Because with her hair very much styled in 60s fashion, the story seems much more a 60s marriage gone wrong). It reminds me a little of the famous W shoot by Steven Klein “Domestic Bliss” with Brad and Angelina.
Anyway, I digress… As much as I believe in Ewan’s character in these shots, I’m not so convinced about Natalia. Sure she looks amazing in the couture, but she doesn’t carry the role of 50s housewife and adulterer. She looks too European really and even though she’s the mother of 3 children in real life, she still looks too doll-faced for me to appear anything other than Lolita-esque (sorry Natalia). I think perhaps a better choice for this may have been Jessica Stam, Raquel Zimmerman, or Angela Lindvall.
Peter Lindbergh’s photographs convey a lot of emotion, and it is divine to see him back shooting for VOGUE for the first time in (I think) fourteen years. I’m not sure why Ewan was selected for this editorial, perhaps it has something to do with an upcoming movie promotion, but no matter the reason, it sure is nice to see him in a Dior Homme 3-piece suit nonetheless.
Oh and the couture wasn’t half-bad either.


Maldives Police Service has revealed that the 17-year-old female who went missing on July 10th has been found safe and sound.

What is a Sump Pump?
A sump pump is a device with built-in sensors that detect water flow in a house. If water reaches the sensor, the pump will activate and push it away from the home’s foundation. The majority of sump pumps are wired into the main electrical system of the house, but it is crucial for them to have some sort of power back-up as well. Many sump pumps utilize batteries similar to those found in cars as a power back-up, while others function by using water pressure.
Prevent Basement Flooding with Sump Pumps
Most basement flooding happens as a direct result of groundwater buildup. As the earth underneath your area’s home becomes saturated, water begins to seep in through the cracks in the foundation of your home, which can then lead to extensive water damage, plumbing issues, and a decrease in your property’s value.
One simple yet inexpensive way to keep out the water before it destroys or damages your basement and the structural integrity of your house is to arrange for a sump pump installation. Our seasoned plumbers will work with you to find the ideal sump pump system for your home and ensure that it’s installed just right.

Popular King West hangout Goldie nightclub has had its liquor license suspended after allegedly hosting a party of over 100 people indoors, in violation of the Emergency Management and Civil Protection Act (EMCPA).
In fact, the license could be completely revoked.
The Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario (AGCO) shared news of the suspension on Friday, citing “serious violations affecting the public’s safety.”
In addition to the immediate suspension, Goldie has also reportedly been served with a Notice of Proposal to revoke the licence totally.
Following serious violations affecting the public’s safety, the AGCO has imposed an immediate suspension of Toronto establishment GOLDIE’s (619 King West) liquor licence and has served the licensee a Notice of Proposal to revoke the licence.
— AGCO (@Ont_AGCO) July 3, 2020
Police said they became aware of the operations at the nightclub, located at 619 King Street West, on Friday evening, and it’s now under investigation.
The club reportedly has no outdoor patio or seating areas and, according to police, has no permit for outdoor service of any kind.
Law enforcement said that patrons were allowed entry through the back of the club and there were no physical distancing measures enforced.
It’s estimated that 125 to 150 people were observed inside.
Police said the club’s owner, manager, and corporation will be charged with Fail to Comply with an Order Made During a Declared Emergency.
Initially investigated by the Toronto Police Service, the information on the situation has been forwarded to the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario (AGCO).

Concert preview: Sebadoh at Rumba Cafe
In early press materials for Sebadoh's new record, Act Surprised, which comes out a day after the band's performance at Rumba Cafe on Thursday, May 23, co-songwriter Jason Loewenstein described the band's first album in six years thusly: “Of all the records we have made in our long career, this is definitely the most recent.”
It's a stupidly clever joke.Act Surprised, which follows 2013'sDefend Yourself (an album that appeared after a 14-year hiatus), is not the least bit surprising. The band's new full-length sounds exactly like what tends to happen any time this trio — Loewenstein, Lou Barlow and Bob D'Amico — gets together in a room: fuzzy/wiry guitars, blistering bass, primal drums. Nine albums deep, Sebadoh still avoids frills at all costs.
Of these 15 songs recorded in Easthampton, Massachusetts, Barlow wrote seven, Loewenstein wrote seven and D'Amico wrote one, and while Loewenstein's tracks are full of nervous energy, Barlow is more tempered and subdued. On “Celebrate the Void,” he sounds as if he's warmly wrapping both arms around the unknowability of life, making a kind of peace with existential dread.(Safe bet)

382298 Charge Carrier Dynamics in Thin Film Solid-State Solar Cells
Extremely thin absorber (ETA) solar cells are a promising solar cell architecture because they can be made using inexpensive materials and low temperature bench top fabrication. In these solar cells, contrary to traditional p-n junction photovoltaics, charge separation is achieved by injection of photogenerated electrons and holes into electron and hole acceptors, respectively. Thus, these charge transfer processes are integral in the charge separation and overall power conversion efficiency. I examined the hole transfer between Sb2S3 and a CuSCN hole conductor, and was able to elucidate the two-step trap and transfer mechanism of this hole transfer process using femtosecond transient absorption spectroscopy. Further, by varying the thickness of the Sb2S3 layer I was able to extract quantitative hole diffusion and transfer parameters which show a very strong correlation to corresponding solar cell performance. In this way I was able to derive a clear connection between spectroscopic studies and the performance of real-world photovoltaics.
Another promising solution-processable photovoltaic absorber is methylammonium lead iodide perovskite. Despite their recent entry onto the scene, these so-called perovskite solar cells have already surpassed 16% efficiency. The organic polymer hole conductors, such as spiro-OMeTAD, traditionally used for these solar cells pose potential stability problems and are very expensive. In an effort to reduce cost and improve stability, I was able to report the first perovskite solar cell featuring an inorganic hole conductor, viz. copper iodide. These cells showed improved stability in ambient conditions, and CuI exhibits approximately 2 orders of magnitude higher conductivity than spiro-OMeTAD. This opens up an interesting new avenue for the further optimization of perovskite solar cells. I am currently working on further optimization of perovskite solar cells with inorganic hole conductors, elucidating the interactions between the perovskite and hole conductor, and studying the stability of these devices.
In my previous research I have gained an expertise in the fabrication of solid-state solution-processed semiconductor photovoltaics. I have been able to correlate the dynamics observed with transient spectroscopy with device performance, and I employed electrochemical characterization techniques to provide insight into the role of the various device components. My research program will focus on the fabrication and characterization of solution-processed optoelectronic devices. For example, the broad tunability and high emission intensity of layer-type organometal halide perovskites makes them promising candidates for light emitting diodes. My knowledge of solution-based device fabrication, transient spectroscopy, and electrochemistry will allow me to construct, characterize, and optimize these devices.

As far as fruits are concerned, most berries are low in carbs and can be consumed from time to time, and in limited amounts. These include raspberries, strawberries, and blackberries. Blueberries are a bit higher in carbs and should be eaten sparingly. Most other fruits, however, have too many carbs in just one serving, so it is best to avoid them.
A: The most common ways to track your carbs is through MyFitnessPal and their mobile app. You cannot track net carbs on the app, although you can track your total carb intake and your total fiber intake. To get your net carbs, just subtract your total fiber intake from your total carb intake. I have written an article on How to Track Carbs on MyFitnessPal.
This is of course just an overview of what you can eat, but these are things I'm most likely going to pick up from the grocery store. I also didn't want to include crazy expensive specialty items like Erythritol for beginners. I think we all get excited about making our favorite junk foods in the style of our diets right away. This is fine¦but it can be very expensive, time consuming and exhausting. Stik with the basics, especially when first starting out!
On a keto diet, weight loss can often be substantial and happen quickly (especially for those who start the diet very overweight or obese). The 2013 study published in the British Journal of Nutrition found that those following a keto diet œachieved better long-term body weight and cardiovascular risk factor management when compared with individuals assigned to a conventional low-fat diet (i.e. a restricted-energy diet with less than 30 percent of energy from fat). (4)
After the initial transition period (often referred to as the fat-adaptation or keto-adaptation period), most people find they gain a ton of mental and physical energy. They don't have energy crashes in the afternoons and they often sleep a bit less but wake up feeling refreshed. They also tend to eat less because they don't feel hungry or have cravings.
The Atkins diet, on the other hand, is solely focused on weight loss. There is no restriction on artificial sweeteners or manufactured foods, as long as the foods consumed fit the Atkins prescribed ratios. There are four phases to the Atkins diet. The first phase is the most strict, designed to get you into ketosis. The second phase is a tolerance testing phase, where you add more foods to see how many grams of carbohydrate you can still eat and lose weight. The third phase is more generous with carbs, and the fourth phase is the most generous, and it's in either the third or fourth phase that most people find a good maintenance level.
Hi Lauren, I just started this diet. Any tips for beginning? I am not sure I am taking in enough throughout the day. I snack on cheese and red grapes, raspberries throughout the day. I have a protein shake for breakfast and lunch. and then this evening I am having a chicken salad with avocado and romaine. Like I said I don't think I am taking in enough throughout the day.
The ketogenic diet works by eliminating carbohydrates from the diet and keeping the body's carbohydrate stores almost empty, therefore preventing too much insulin from being released following food consumption and creating normal blood sugar levels. This can help reverse œinsulin resistance, which is the underlying problem contributing to diabetes symptoms. In studies, low-carb diets have shown benefits for improving blood pressure, postprandial glycemia and insulin secretion. (7) Therefore, diabetics on insulin should contact their medical provider prior to starting a ketogenic diet, however, as insulin dosages may need to be adjusted.
¢ Constipation: No one likes to feel backed up, and sadly if you're not careful about your diet choices when going keto, it could become a regular concern. One 10-year (albeit small) study looking at the effects of a keto diet on young children found that 65 percent experienced digestive woes. Thankfully, going keto is not a life sentence for problem bowels. Since you're cutting out whole grains and fruit (two of the most common sources of fiber), aim to up your fiber-rich veggies, and consider a supplement.
A related clinical diet for drug-resistant epilepsy is called the medium-chain triglyceride ketogenic diet, in which MCT oil is extensively used because it's more ketogenic than long-chain triglycerides. (13a) Another dietary therapy for epilepsy called Low Glycemic Index Treatment (LGIT) was developed in 2002 as an alternative to the ketogenic diet. LGIT monitors the total amount of carbohydrates consumed daily, and focuses on carbohydrates that have a low glycemic index.) (13b)

Hosig, PhD, MPH, RD, œPerceived Hunger Is Lower and Weight Loss Is Greater in Overweight Premenopausal Women Consuming a Low-Carbohydrate/High-Protein vs High-Carbohydrate/Low-Fat Diet, The Journal of Pediatrics: Vol 105, Issue 9: 1433“1437; September 2005. http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S000282230501151X.
A œmoderate keto diet is an option that can still encourage substantial weight loss and other improvements in symptoms. A moderate keto diet includes more foods with carbs and, therefore, more fiber too. Carbs are usually increased to about 30“50 net grams per day, which means foods like more high-fiber veggies, some fruit or some starchy veggies can also be included.
Bulk buy and cook. If you're someone who doesn't like to spend a lot of time in the kitchen, this is the best of both worlds. Buying your food at bulk (specifically from wholesalers) can reduce the cost per pound tremendously. Plus, you can make ahead food (bulk cook chicken thighs for pre-made meat, or cook entire meals) that are used as leftovers, so you spend less time cooking.
Remember the low-fat diet craze? Back in the 1990s, we were told that swapping regular cookies and chips for those labeled "low fat" would be the ticket to easy weight loss and better health. Today, it's the opposite”a low-carb, high-fat eating plan called the ketogenic diet, or keto diet for short, is getting all the buzz. Celebrities like Halle Berry, Kim Kardashian, and Megan Fox are fans; more than 7 million Instagram posts have been tagged #keto; and upwards of 1 million people search "keto diet" on Google every month.
If you'd like to try intermittent fasting, it's best to start by gradually decreasing your feeding window. Start with not eating for a 12 hour stretch, including the time that you're sleeping. For example, you could stop eating at 8 in the evening, then have breakfast at 8 in the morning. Ultimately, you'll want to be mostly done with digestion by the time you go to bed, and not be hungry until late morning, so for most people a feeding window of 10am to 6pm would be a good goal.
Chapter 2 - Go Keto in 5 steps. 1-clean out your pantry. Egads! No dates or peas, 2 of my favorites! 2-Go shopping and stock up on the basics- water, coffee, tea, spices, herbs, non-sugar sweeteners, lemon & lime juice, mayo, mustard, pesto, sriracha, broths, pickled foods, nuts & seeds, meats, eggs, wild caught fish, nonstarchy veggies, berries, avocados, full fat dairy, avocado oil, olive oil, butter, lard, bacon fat. 3-set up your kitchen with a food scale, food processor, spiralizer, hand mixer, and cast iron pan. 4- plan your meals, and 5 -exercise!
Basically, when you have alcohol in your body, the first thing that will be burnt is the alcohol. Only then, can your body begin to burn carbohydrates, and ultimately move on to fat-burning mode. By consuming small amounts of alcohol, the alcohol will be burnt quite fast and then move on to burning carbohydrates. The biggest tip here is to only include alcohol in your diet once your body is fully adapted to a high-fat diet.
I love your site but your note about Diabetic Ketoacidosis is completely wrong. DKA is not something that happens because your body produces too many ketones. It is something that happens when your body produces too many ketones, and you don't have any insulin in your system. As long as a Type 1 Diabetic takes insulin they will NOT go into DKA. Especially since DKA requires high ketones, high sugars, and low insulin.
The biggest draw for me is how many of those who've tried it say they don't get hungry. The possibility of that blows my mind, as someone who's used to any sort of calorie restriction meaning hours of feeling hungry every day. It's tantalizing enough that I at least want to try. And what have I got to lose, right? I'm already morbidly obese; it's hard to imagine screwing this up so bad it makes that worse.

The person behind the blog post
Jason Warner joined the Cape Town Quirk office as an Education intern late in 2010. Jason naturally gravitated towards a life online after spending many hours on his dad’s computer playing Duke Nukem 3D and he has found himself behind some screen or other ever since.
Growing up, Jason wanted to be an astronaut, but he got a little side tracked and ended up studying Journalism instead. He is quite opinionated about current affairs and if he could change just one thing in the world it would be to get rid of lazy people. He would describe his personal motto as being that hard work pays off.
Jason secret reason for wanting to work at Quirk is to learn as much as he can to maybe go back to a newsroom someday as a better reporter. He doubts however that he will ever want to leave, despite ther fact that his most used phrase around the office is “oh crap”.
He cannot live without Facebook, Twitter and the Daily Maverick and we hope to have many interesting and thought provoking blog posts from this opinionated young journalist.

Station to relive halcyon days for centenary of city
TOOWOOMBA's railway station will again be the transport hub of the city next month when the last steam locomotive built in Australia chuggs into town.
The steam train will be in the city for nine days in October as part of The Toowoomba Centenary Heritage Fair and Centenary Steam Train, which was officially launched yesterday.
The October 16 to 24 event is not only helping celebrate our city's 100-year birthday; it is also raising funds for the Darling Downs Historical Rail Society's (Downs Steam) restoration of the last C16 steam locomotive.
"Nowadays, people look at the (railway) building and ask: 'What did we use it for?'," Downs Steam treasurer Ray Murphy said.
"But back in the good old days it was a hub of activity."
During the nine-day celebration, organisers are offering trips on the Heritage train from Ipswich to Toowoomba; "The Snake Gully Express" ? an evening steam train adventure from the city to Nobby; The Gardens of Pittsworth Tour; school group trips; Toowoomba's Longest Breakfast on the railway station's platform; and the Toowoomba Centenary Heritage Fair.
Tickets and tour information are available by phoning Kerrie on 4636 1741.

NBA All-Star ballots are in, and two Warriors will be starting the game in New Orleans. Kevin Durant and Stephen Curry were voted in along with the Spurs Kawhi Leonard, the Pelicans Anthony Davis and the Rockets James Harden for the West.
This is the first year that the new voting system for All-Stars was in place with fans no longer counting for 100 percent of the vote.
This year 50 percent was based on fan votes, 25 percent were votes from current players and 25 percent from media members. They are then ranked based on what position they finish in each of the votes with the fan vote rank getting multiplied by two and divided by four.
With the new voting process one name was noticeably absent, Thunder guard Russell Westbrook. Westbrook actually finished in a three-way tie with Harden and Curry and in that event the tiebreaker is the highest fan vote.
So while Westbrook ranked first in player and media votes, he finished third behind Curry and Harden in the fan vote and so was left out of a starting spot.
He would actually have been starting the game alongside Durant in any other year as he finished second in fan voting.
The rest of the lineup will be picked by the respective coaches and will be revealed January 26. The All-Star game is scheduled for February 19.

GP surgery in special measures closes due to staff shortages
PUBLISHED: 16:05 17 May 2019 | UPDATED: 17:58 17 May 2019
A GP surgery in Haverhill which is currently in special measures has been temporarily closed and will remain shut for the “foreseeable future” due to staff shortages.
The Camps Road branch of Clements and Christmas Maltings Practice in the town locked its doors this morning, and patients with appointments will be contacted and asked to attend either the Clements branch in Greenfield Way or the Kedington branch instead.
The community oncology, paediatric and ultrasound clinics will continue to be run as normal from the Camps Road branch and patients can access appointments with these clinics by using the front door of the neighbouring Haverhill Family Practice.
In March, the overall service which runs the Camps Road surgery, along with the Clements and Kedington branches, was placed in special measures by the Care Quality Commission (CQC).
Out of date medicines and poor feedback from patients about booking appointments were among concerns listed by CQC inspectors who visited in January.
You may also want to watch:
The Suffolk GP Federation, which runs the surgeries, said it was "improving the service as fast as we can".

Lois Wreathall, head of primary care for the NHS West Suffolk Clinical Commissioning Group, said: "The Camps Road branch has had to close temporarily due to staffing issues.
"The main access door was locked on Friday morning and the branch will remain closed for the foreseeable future.
"Patients registered at Camps Road will still be able to make appointments but will have to travel to the Clements or Kedington branches in the meantime.
"The community clinics run from the site by teams from West Suffolk and Addenbrooke's hospitals will continue as normal from the site."
From June 3, the Kedington branch will be running nurse appointments from 8am to 1pm and from 2pm to 6.30pm from Monday to Thursday.
Both the Kedington and Clements branches of the practice will remain open as normal.

A little while back there was that whole "name 10 albums blah blah blah" trend. It got me thinking though. 10 albums that impacted my life. It may sound dumb to some but music can have a huge impact in people's lives. It changes moods. It can make you think. It can make you dream. So, here are 10 albums that I hold special significance to me.
1. Nirvana - In Utero
I have always loved music. I used to sing at school and it's always been something that's been apart of my life. I grew up with parents who listened to a range of music but mostly my house was filled with rock music. My Dad listened to Pearl Jam, Reef, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Foo Fighters, Rage Against The Machine. My Mum listened to Green Day, Alanis Morisette, 4 Non Blondes. You name it, it was probably in our CD case at some point. Around the age of 11 I started to really get into rock and quickly became a Dave Grohl fan. My Dad handed me a Nirvana CD and told me to go and listen. I fell in love with their music, so much so that I begged my parents to get me drum lessons. And so, my music career began. If not for this album and for Dave Grohl I may never have started playing the drums, or taken up the guitar two years later (cause Grohl could play the guitar too!)
2. Nerf Herder - American Cheese
As many Nerf Herder fans may tell you, I was a huuuuuuuuuuuuge Buffy fan. Huge. And it introduced me to the music of Nerf Herder and in turn, introduced me to Nerd Rock. At the age of 12, this was my first stepping stone into a world that would eventually become a huge corner stone of my life. I learned to play every song on this album and started writing my own nerdy songs (which were damn awful, let me tell you. 12 year old nerdy me wasn't a good songwriter!)
3. Jonathan Coulton - Thing A Week
JoCo hold significance in my life for 2 reasons. I was introduced to his music by someone I met on a chatroom. We're now best friends and have been to see JoCo together.
But JoCo was one of the first independent artists. I became fascinated with the way he made his music. Not just the writing but the fact that he recorded it all himself. He inspired me to learn to record. I'd always thought that you needed a "label" to do anything and then DIY truly took on a world of it's own to me. I hold a couple of qualifications in music technology now and went to university to learn about music production. Honestly, I credit that decision to this man. I probably would have done an English degree or something else. I now work in a recording studio when I'm not nerding it up on Nerdy.fm.
4. Pat Benatar - Go
Now, not my favourite of all her records (that would be Get Nervous!) but this is one I clearly remember listening to for the first time. I was at University and just feeling shitty about a lot of things. I held a lot of anger at the time and I was stressed and unhappy. I was riding home from class on my bike and just had a bunch of Pat Benatar on shuffle and some of the songs from this record came on. And I remember just letting go of everything and feeling so at peace. Its still one of my go to records on a bad day.
5. Sci-Fried - Ramming Speed
Again, not necessarily my favourite release (that would be Co-Op Mode) but this was the first Sci-Fried record I ever bought. Along with introducing me to one of my favourite bands, this led to me forging some really important friendships and played a huge part in how my life has turned out. Through becoming friends with Dr Vern and the rest of the band, I got to know Marc With A C and get to know the whole nerd music community
6. The Doubleclicks - Dimetrodon
If you know me well.... this will come as no surprise. I'm a huge Doubleclicks fan and there is no denying that these two amazing persons have had a very positive effect on my life. At a time when I was really feeling like maybe I'd made the wrong choice in life and nerd music just wasn't my calling, I heard "Love You Like A Burrito" and it was the best damn thing I ever heard. Their music fills me with a lot of feelings, most of them joy and hunger, and they've been inspiring me ever since.
7. Dr Awkward - Blank Pages
If I ever needed an album to be made, it was this album. I wrapped the music around me like a security blanket and when I listened to it. I was in a dark place and this kept me floating. It helped me process and move forward and it will always hold a special place in my heart.
8. Shinobi Ninja - Escape From New York
There is so much inspiration and heart crammed into this album. I've listened to it on repeat for about six months and it fills me with such joy. I put this album when I'm writing. I put this album on when my spirits need to sore. This keeps me outta my own way and let's me move towards the person I wanna be. It's so strange to say that about an album, but right now, this is the truth.
The last two are just albums that hold good memories for me.
9. Alanis Morisette - Jagged Little Pill
I remember my Mum driving around and playing this in the car when it first came out. Sometimes when I'm having a really lousy time, I ask my Mum to hang out and we just drive somewhere and listen to this record. Always makes me feel close to her when I listen to it.
10. 4 Non Blondes - Bigger, Better, Faster, More!
Again, I remember when this came out. Just barely. I was tiny but I loooooooooved "What's Up?" and would make my Dad play it repeatedly. We had the record on a lot when I was little. After my Dad left I raided my Mum's CD collection, found it and started listening to it again. It's one of my all time favourite records and reminds me of good times when I was a kid. I even got the vinyl release for Christmas.


The Blaine City Council June 1 unanimously approved a preliminary plat and a conditional use permit for the development of 12 single family homes to be located on the east side of Harpers Street and north of 128th Avenue.
Planning and Community Development Director Bryan Schafer said this development, which is to be known as Brians Meadows, is one of the last lots to develop in this area. It was among a larger housing subdivison planned in 2005 that stalled during the economic recession.
Waters Edge Investments, LLC is the developer for this project. The floor plans call for at least 1,400 square feet for the finished above grade area but the homes would have basements as well. The lots generally will be around 80 feet wide and 135 feet deep. The estimated price range is $380,000 to $450,000. TH Construction is planning to be the primary builder, but the development may be open to other builders, Schafer said.
Stormwater ponding for the 12 new homes will be handled south of this development as part of a regional treatment system for homes in this area. The Coon Creek Watershed District still needs to approve a permit before homes can be built.
Sidewalks are being put in on the west side of Jamestown Street and the south side of 128th Lane as part of this development.
Richard and Charlene Wymer wrote a letter to the city stating their wishes that a mature stand of trees on one of the lots closest to them not be removed.
“We were shocked and saddened when house hunting in Blaine to see how few trees had been preserved in newer sub developments. The mature trees on our lot were one of the main reasons we purchased this home,” the Wymers wrote in a May 3 letter to the city.
Schafer said a lot of trees will be lost because of the site work that needs to happen. Much of the property needs to be elevated for the residential building pads and the new streets and then the area where the stormwater will be designed to go to must be dug to a lower elevation.
“If we went back to split entry homes or slab-on-grade and that’s what everybody bought these things would look different,” Schafer said. “But that’s not what sells. That’s not what people want to buy. It’s been a frustrating thing to watch this happen, but now it’s just part of the housing industry. They’re working well in their own property limits, but they are taking trees down that they need to for the grading plans they’ve submitted.”
Melanie and Dean Triplett sent an email to the city on May 9 to object to any further development along Harpers Street because of their concern of adding more traffic to this street that they said is not wide enough and already has people speeding through.
“The road is becoming a speedway, with many residents and/or visitors driving at speeds of 50-plus miles per hour on Harpers Street,” they wrote.
City Engineer Jean Keely said Harpers Street had been constructed with the original development, but was widened a year of two ago so it could handle the additional traffic.
“It’s sized properly for two lanes of traffic and one parking lane,” she said.

We attended a meeting of the planning commission today in which the planning director laid out his timetable for addressing the metrics asked for by the commissioners regarding the cumulative impacts of all the projects they have been approving and the ones that are in the pipeline. There are currently 26 major projects being reviewed by 3 or 4 planners and the planning commission agreed that the reviews are going to have to slow down while they do their cumulative impact analysis. Mountain Peak is one of the 26. Shaveta Sharma, the planner on our project, is handling 12 of the 26 so we may be into October.


MONDAY, April 9 (HealthDay News) — Adolescent alcohol consumption is associated with increased risk of proliferative benign breast disease (BBD), which is a risk factor for breast cancer, and there is no evidence that adolescent folate intake provides a protective effect against alcohol-associated BBD, according to a study published online April 9 in Pediatrics.
Ying Liu, M.D., Ph.D., of the Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis, and colleagues analyzed data from 29,117 women in the Nurses’ Health Study II who completed both adolescent alcohol consumption questions in 1989 and an adolescent diet questionnaire in 1998. A total of 659 women with proliferative BBD diagnosed between 1991 and 2001 were confirmed by central pathology review.
The researchers found that adolescent alcohol consumption was dose-dependently associated with an increased risk of proliferative BBD (hazard ratio, 1.15 per 10 g/day consumption; 95 percent confidence interval, 1.03 to 1.28). No significant association was observed between adolescent folate intake and the risk of proliferative BBD. Each 10 g/day increment of alcohol intake during adolescence was associated with a 21 percent increase in the risk of proliferative BBD among women with low folate intake during adolescence. This number was not significantly different from the alcohol-associated risk among women with moderate and high folate intake during adolescence.
“Adolescent alcohol consumption is associated with increased risk of proliferative BBD, which may not be reduced by increased folate intake during adolescence,” the authors write.

Taking stock of environmental assessment
The 1985 EC Directive on environmental assessment of major projects has been in force for five years. A long-delayed report on its initial impact has revealed large variations in the implementing laws and the numbers of projects subject to assessment among Member States, as well as major defects in the quality of many environmental statements. The European Commission is set to respond with a proposal to amend the Directive, but both its current ideas and changes in its procedures for handling public complaints about the application of the Directive are running into resistance from the UK.

Join my email list, and you’ll get a free eBook of book one of the Ariadne Cycle, The Stark Divide.
About the Book:
Some stories are epic.
The Earth is in a state of collapse, with wars breaking out over resources and an environment pushed to the edge by human greed.
Three living generation ships have been built with a combination of genetic mastery, artificial intelligence, technology, and raw materials harvested from the asteroid belt. This is the story of one of them—43 Ariadne, or Forever, as her inhabitants call her—a living world that carries the remaining hopes of humanity, and the three generations of scientists, engineers, and explorers working to colonize her.
From her humble beginnings as a seedling saved from disaster to the start of her journey across the void of space toward a new home for the human race, The Stark Divide tells the tales of the world, the people who made her, and the few who will become something altogether beyond human.
Humankind has just taken its first step toward the stars.
If you like this book, the rest of the trilogy is also available:
Ebook copies will be sent out at the start of each month.

Building Automation Systems(BAS)
Building Automation Systems (BAS)
The process of specifying, designing, and installing building automation systems (BAS) typically begins with the plans and specifications produced by the mechanical, electrical, and plumbing (MEP) design engineer. The MEP plans and specifications include equipment and process schematics that specify the location of sensors and control elements for the mechanical system. Also included is a narrative “Sequence of Operations” which describes how the mechanical system is to be controlled. Despite its name, the “Sequence of Operations” does not describe a sequential process; it is an overall specification of the control strategy for the heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system. This information is provided to the control system integrator, who then creates a configuration database for the control system, which establishes communication, network, and device parameters as well as input/output (I/O) configuration parameters. The control system integrator also develops control application programs for the controlled equipment based on the narrative “Sequence of Operations.” There is a great deal of variability in the level of detail provided in the “Sequence of Operations.”
How does Building Automation work?
HVAC and Lighting Controls – Stand alone computerized controllers are installed to take over the control of building HVAC (heating, ventilation, and air conditioning) systems and lighting. The building is not only scheduled more closely but it is also operated more intelligently and efficiently.
Outside Air Optimization
Proper control of outside air provides necessary inside air changes for occupant comfort and health, minimizes energy costs by space pre-conditioning, allows for enthalpy-based free cooling, and reduces the use of outside air when it is not needed.
Orchestrating the operation of building systems, so that equipment works together, saves energy and improves comfort. Individual control systems that are not centrally monitored and coordinated can fight each other or malfunction, causing comfort problems and wasting considerable energy. BACnet based BAS can interface to existing or planned systems so that the building will run smoothly and at peak efficiency without expensive duplication of controls or unnecessary complexity.
Simplifying facility operation and integrating data from various systems in a "seamless" manner is best accomplished with a graphical user interface. This eliminates the need to memorize commands or point numbers, and allows the operator to take a walking tour of the facility from the console. Existing systems can be easily upgraded to add this powerful operational tool. Point and click graphics empowers management by letting everyone see what is going on and taking the mystery out of proper operations.
Direct Digital Controls (DDC)
Upgrade older existing equipment to DDC to match new equipment functionality. These controllers come standard on most new mechanical equipment and are more reliable, require less maintenance, provide more sophisticated control, and are less expensive to purchase and operate.
Conventional controls, such as time clocks, are inaccurate and are typically setup to run equipment longer than the actual need. By automating this function with computerized controls, the computer can predict the optimum time to start/stop equipment and eliminate waste caused by excessive runtime.
HVAC equipment is typically sized to handle the building load under worst-case conditions. Most conventional controls are set up to meet these design criteria at all times.With the automation system, control set points and strategies can be adjusted to meet only the actual load, eliminating unnecessary waste.

Oh getting up is so hard to do. It's been a fabulous stay at our beautiful spice garden and we would love more time, but alas we have more to see and more to do. We leave at 10 for a five hour drive to our next destination. The landscape is slowly changing now and we are leaving the mountains and entering the " real backwaters" of Kerala.
We stop of at a jetty and board a boat to our hotel. Not a bad way to spend New Year's Day.
Coconut lagoon as the name implies is a beautiful hotel right next to a lagoon. The entire place is filled with water canals and quaint bridges you have to cross to get to your rooms. It is extremely humid and hot and we are in heaven when we enter our totally luxurious Bungalows. Carved wooden ceilings and an outdoor shower. A really strong air conditioner yay!
This is such a tranquil place, tropical and hot hot hot! We went for a swim at sunset in the huge lukewarm swimming pool and watched the sunset over the lagoon. It's the place to go if you are in need of some serious R&R. There is a butterfly garden where the worlds largest and smallest butterflies can be found. In the evening there are thousands of Mosquitos who are ready to munch on every part of the body...luckily we are rigged for this and it's not too much of a problem.
Stella catches a frog and as it leaps out of her hand it instantly gets gobbled up my a by mean looking bullfrog. We sleep the most beautiful sleep and I feel far far away from home ( as I am of course) . Unfortunately we have to leave again the next day and it's with heavy hearts as we all like this place, especially the kids.
We leave for our journey further south, we pass through tropical jungles with many villages/towns in between- they never seem to stop. There are quite a few christian (catholic ) churches. This is due to the Portuguese influence, as they landed here in and stayed for so many years.
The South is different to the North of India, firstly there is the landscape, much greener and tropical. There is a different language called Malayalam which is a very difficult (even for some of the locals) as it sounds something like a turkey garbling. The people have a darker skin tone and the men mostly wear sarongs which they promptly tuck in when they are working ....this looks a bit like an oversized nappy and the children find the men walking around in skirts hilarious. Declan keeps trying to peep underneath the "skirts" and this is met with much laughter and play fighting. There are no beggars or we haven't met them yet. People seem to live an easier life here and the whole vibe is laid back, but hard working at the same time. The food is also more varied with many spicy vegetable dishes, salads and curries of course (still no holy cow) there is however buffalo ..tastes just like beef. There are also more tourists here and no one really takes photos of the kids.
We board a traditional rice boat converted into a luxurious houseboat. We have comfortable rooms with a wonderful view of the river, paddy fields on to our left and right. Wow this is something else! The river is very wide and there are many of these houseboats cruising along. It's great as you get a good view of life on the shore. We dock for the night at a little village and take a walk on the long and very narrow stretch of land. The locals are very friendly and they seem content with their lives. We sleep hardly feeling any sort of movement from the water, theses boats are very steady, I don't really sleep as the aircon freezes the room to sub zero temperatures and when it's off I feel like I am dying of heat....typical India, land of extremes.
The next day we have a short boat ride I between thousands of ducks before we embark on our next adventure on land. It was great on the houseboat I could've stayed one more night....but once again...alas.
Love to all

Narcolepsy type 1 is a life-long, severe, multifaceted disease often arising in childhood or adolescence. Beyond the classical symptoms (excessive daytime sleepiness, cataplexy, hallucinations, sleep paralysis and nocturnal fragmented sleep), metabolic, endocrinological, psychiatric and psychosocial aspects must be considered. Despite the increased awareness after H1N1 pandemic influenza and vaccination, narcolepsy is still misdiagnosed and unrecognized. The peculiar presentation of symptoms in narcoleptic children could in part explain the misdiagnoses. Excessive daytime sleepiness presenting as chronic drowsiness or irritability could be stigmatized as laziness or misinterpreted as behavior or inattention disorder. The persistent hypotonia and the complex hyperkinetic movements that characterize cataplexy close to the onset, could be misdiagnosed as a movement disorder or as other neurologic conditions. The consequent therapeutic delay could turn into dramatic consequences. The narcolepsy onset, indeed, is associated with abrupt weight gain and sometimes with precocious puberty that require a prompt recognition and treatment to avoid auxological and metabolic complications. Moreover, narcoleptic children could have behavioral and psychiatric disorders ranging from mood to psychotic ones that need ad hoc management. Accordingly, spreading the awareness outside the sleep specialist community is necessary in order to reduce the diagnostic delay and to obtain prompt and multidisciplinary management.

Humanitarian actors claim adherence to humanitarian principles in order to win the acceptance of local populations, parties to conflict and other stakeholders, and thereby secure access to vulnerable people at risk. In recent years, however, questions have arisen as to whether humanitarian principles are still relevant as a tool for securing access. Using Afghanistan and Pakistan as examples, this article outlines the Norwegian Refugee Council (NRC)’s approach to strengthening the implementation of acceptance strategies, including by reinforcing adherence to humanitarian principles. Implementing the approach will take time and effort, but with the changing nature of access challenges NRC believes that the effort is worth making.
Massive needs, limited access
Afghanistan is one of the world’s poorest countries following 30 years of conflict and annual cycles of earthquakes, flooding and drought. Afghans have the world’s second worst maternal mortality rate and an average life expectancy of 43 years; approximately nine million are food insecure. In Pakistan, millions of people have been affected or displaced as a result of armed conflict and the recent devastating floods. The country has also suffered instability due to military coups, political assassinations and large-scale corruption.
NRC has large and established operations in both Pakistan and Afghanistan assisting Afghan refugees, returnees and internally displaced people. More than five and a half million Afghan refugees have returned since 2002, comprising 20% of Afghanistan’s population. Despite these massive returns, Afghans still constitute the world’s largest refugee population, with over 1.7 million registered refugees in Pakistan and almost a million in Iran. Most have lived in Pakistan and Iran for decades and have no plans to return, whilst those who have returned face massive reintegration challenges associated with crippling poverty, poor security, intensifying armed conflict, weak governance, lack of access to livelihoods and land and recurrent natural disasters. Well over 300,000 Afghans are internally displaced.
Whether the challenges and dangers faced by humanitarian agencies working in conflict and complex emergency contexts such as Afghanistan and Pakistan are worse today than 30 years ago is debatable. What is evident is that the challenges to humanitarian access have changed. Both countries host a proliferation of actors – private sector, military, political, human rights, development and humanitarian – with identities and activities that can be difficult to tell apart; anti-terror and counter-insurgency campaigns have replaced Cold War conflicts; and rapid urbanisation, population growth, protracted emergencies and the increased severity of natural disasters are placing new pressure on civilians and humanitarian actors alike. Humanitarian agencies increasingly use physical security measures such as high walls, reduced mobility and, as a last resort for NGOs at least, armed security and escorts, limiting interaction with local people.
With over 200,000 international and Afghan military personnel engaged in an intensifying conflict with opposition groups, humanitarian access has become extremely difficult to secure in Afghanistan. Humanitarian staff are regularly killed and kidnapped. It is unclear how many Afghans are being denied assistance and protection as a result. In Pakistan, the conflict between the government and armed opposition groups has severely constrained access in the north-west of the country. The recent devastating floods, along with bureaucratic obstacles, have placed further limits on access. Donor fatigue is an additional obstacle preventing Afghan refugees from accessing protection and assistance.
NRC’s access strategy: perception, acceptance and access
In Afghanistan, NRC has programmes across the west, north, east and central parts of the country. In Pakistan, operations extend across the north-west. Activities include supporting Afghan refugees, returnees and IDPs with the provision of information, counselling, education, livelihood support, shelter and emergency non-food items, and assistance to resolve land and property disputes and access identity documents.
NRC has prioritised increased access to protection for populations affected by displacement as a global priority since 2009. Strengthening acceptance of NRC in order to increase access is at the core of this work. NRC’s approach includes:
1. Ensuring that programmes are timely, relevant and robust
An important means for securing and maintaining acceptance is by demonstrating reliability, building trust, fulfilling agreed promises and delivering high-quality, transparent and on-time programmes. In one sensitive area in Pakistan, NRC spent four months meeting influential elders and other stakeholders to build trust and to familiarise them with NRC’s mission and activities before establishing programmes. The agency then prioritised delivering on commitments and ensuring quality. For example, when engaging local partners to support distributions NRC ensures a physical presence for monitoring and quality control. NRC also maintains consistent communication with affected populations. In Afghanistan a similar approach is being pursued with respect to shelter programmes in northern areas.
An important aspect of NRC’s strategy is to enhance contextual analysis within country offices to inform programme design, planning and implementation. Analysis of the perspectives and relationships of different stakeholders will be strengthened, as well as needs and risk assessment methodologies. In response to Afghanistan’s fluid and volatile context, the country office has enhanced its risk analysis capacity, has implemented comprehensive protection mainstreaming and will develop local level communication plans. A key goal is to distinguish NRC as a principled humanitarian actor in an increasingly politicised and militarised environment. Enhancing beneficiary participation and accountability mechanisms, as well as strengthening programme synergies and delivery, will also be part of NRC’s comprehensive review of its core programme activities in 2011.
Another aspect will be to strengthen the practical implementation of humanitarian principles as a tool for securing access. For example, according to the principles of independence and neutrality humanitarian actors should not have allegiances to conflicting parties or ulterior religious, political or ideological agendas, nor should they behave as an active agent of government policy. By strengthening adherence to these principles NRC will seek to separate itself from the conflict and demonstrate that it does not constitute a threat, thereby improving its ability to fulfil its primary mission of alleviating human suffering whilst ensuring that the needs of the most vulnerable are met without discrimination.
Although it is often assumed that humanitarian actors intuitively understand how to translate humanitarian principles into programme design, implementation and decision-making, this is often not the case. More practical guidance is required. In 2011 NRC will develop guidance and training to reinforce principled humanitarian action within operations and advocacy. It is important that all NRC staff, especially national employees, who are often in closest contact with affected populations and local stakeholders, are adequately equipped to implement the principles and communicate them consistently. An initial workshop was held in Peshawar in July 2010, and another will take place in Afghanistan in 2011. The workshops focus on analysing access constraints and developing principled response and advocacy plans.
2. Building staff competency
A central component of NRC’s increased access strategy is to have the right staff, in the right place, at the right time. An important initiative is to invest in building the competency of key national staff to strengthen their engagement in contextual analysis, strategic planning and implementation. For example, in Afghanistan NRC is building the competency of national staff to tailor security systems to local areas, based on local contextual analysis. Ensuring that all employees are able to consistently communicate the organisation’s approach and positions will be an important element of the access strategy.
3. Strengthening principled and structured engagement with all relevant actors
In order to safely access affected populations humanitarian actors often need to engage with, or operate in territory controlled by, armed opposition groups. However, in contexts such as Afghanistan and Pakistan engaging with all relevant actors can be dangerous, if not illegal. A recent judgement by the US Supreme Court, upholding a US federal law that makes it a crime to provide “material support” to foreign groups designated as terrorist organisations by the US government, highlights how the criminalisation of aid and aid workers engaging with organised armed groups may undermine humanitarian access. As a result, NRC will develop positions and advocacy approaches, including holding a joint NRC/HPG workshop on the criminalisation of aid in the first quarter of 2011.
4. Targeted experience-based advocacy
NRC has also developed a Global Advocacy Strategy for 2010 to 2012, with increased access as the core priority. The focus of the strategy is to ensure consistency in the agency’s advocacy messages, and to encourage decision-makers to reduce obstacles to access.
As a starting point NRC has initiated mapping and research which will inform the production of position papers and briefing papers. In order to ensure consistent communication, guidance and training will be developed to support NRC’s messaging internally and with external decision-makers. The training will be rolled out to five countries during 2011. NRC will also conduct a series of workshops and publish reports during 2011 and 2012 as part of a project funded by the Norwegian Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Topics will include the relationship between humanitarian principles and operational access, the impact of UN integrated missions and the criminalisation of aid.
Together with advocacy work in-country, the Afghanistan and Pakistan programmes are crucial for building the evidence base for NRC’s global advocacy work. One important issue here includes the risks posed to humanitarian action and the civilian population by counter-insurgency stabilisation programmes, efforts to ensure force security and intelligence gathering. Another focus is reinforcing NRC’s advocacy for independent and principled humanitarian coordination and action in Afghanistan. With continued pressure for UN structural integration, UN and donor support for the counter-insurgency and security restrictions on UN personnel and facilities, NGOs may be placed in a position where they distance themselves from the UN in order to preserve acceptance, staff safety and access to the affected population. This situation would further fragment humanitarian assistance and protection efforts.
NRC’s acceptance approach to access will not be easy to implement. If acceptance strategies were straightforward humanitarian access in Pakistan and Afghanistan would not be a problem. Whilst many of the tools and techniques employed involve practical responses to local conditions, the approach requires difficult decisions and serious resource and staff investment, and is easily undermined by the actions of other actors. NRC is investing in strengthening the quality, accountability and timeliness of its programming. Together with advocacy with decision-makers, NRC will invest in transparent and consistent communication with all stakeholders, and endeavour to equip staff with the skills and support they need to meet the many challenges they face.
Ingrid Macdonald is Head of Advocacy at the Norwegian Refugee Council.

Sheryl Crow isn’t taking any chances with a man, who claimed last week that he was going to shoot her.
Crow has obtained a temporary restraining order against Phillip Gordon Sparks, who has been posting messages about the singer on his Facebook page.
In the messages, which were found by Crow’s manager in April, Sparks claims Crow once broke into his house looking for a gun. In another he accused Crow of filming him without his knowledge. All of which she says never happened, according to the Hollywood Reporter.
“It was clear to me that he was deeply disturbed because his posts were delusional, rambling, filled with profanity and laced with angry rants,” Crow wrote in a statement.
Recently the 45-year-old man, who currently lived in Venice, California, told an employee at the SAG-AFTRA offices in L.A. that he was going to “just shoot” her, which led Crow to take action.
“I am greatly concerned that Mr. Sparks may physically harm me, my family members, close friends, agents and representatives who are identified in the accompanying request,” she writes.
According to court documents filed on July 29, Crow not only filed for her own protection, but for her nanny, her sister and her two young sons, Wyatt and Levi.
A hearing is schedule for August 14 to make the temporary order permanent. The singer kicks off her summer tour in Atlantic City, NJ on August 9. Go here for more tour information.
Crow made headlines last month when she announced she was diagnosed with a benign brain tumor.

Adelaide, May 19 : In a second similar incident in less than three weeks in Australia, strong protests by taxi drivers' continued for two days on the streets of Adelaide yesterday, following an incident wherein one cabbie Balraj Singh was brutally bashed up by two unidentified men last weekend.
He was punched in the right eye and had his seatbelt wrapped around his neck by a man in the back seat.
"You're not safe at night time. You don't know the people you pick up, who they are," The Advertiser quoted him as saying from his hospital bed where he was being treated for facial injuries, including a broken nose.
Drivers parked about 50 taxis in front of the Sir Samuel Way courts building in Victoria Square at about 10am. They stayed out the front of the courts building for about 45 minutes, chanting "we want justice" over the bashing the cabbie Singh on the weekend. The convoy of cabs then drove down King William St, with drivers tooting their horns and shouting out the windows, reported the paper.
The protest caused traffic gridlock on the city's main thoroughfare, with buses and trams stopped in their tracks. Police monitored the protest and there was an altercation with some drivers after officers demanded the drivers clear the road.
The convoy proceeded at a snail's pace up King William St and turned left down North Terrace. Near the railway station, about 30 drivers got out of their vehicles, took off their shirts and started chanting, demanding better safety equipment, up-front fares at night and better training.
The men chanted slogans like "we need protection", and said that they were prepared to continue their protest until the State Government legislated for security screens to be fitted inside cabs.

I am a self taught artist who was hooked on art from the first time I picked up a crayon and created images from my imagination.
Having had an aptitude for both science and art, I had to choose which would serve me best as a career and which as a hobby. Art became my hobby. Over the years I restarted my artistic endeavours many times because of conflicting priorities.
I have taken various classes and workshops that while expanding my technical skills in various media, never led me to discover my true inner artist. I retired early to Gabriola Island on British Columbia's Pacific coast and am working on uncovering my illusive inner artist.
Currently, I am focussing on watercolour and acrylic media and am working on moving from a realistic to a more representational style with freer abstract elements. While I am interested in a variety of subjects, I am most inspired by images that tell a story typically involving people or animals.
Here are some of the artists from whom I have taken classes/workshops and who have influenced my artistic journey.
