I could get used to this! Sat outside, glass of wine and a game of scrabble :)) I'm also beginning to forget how to cook, as meals have been salads and what I call grazing food, or simple tapas type things.

The NHS Values Summit brings together a diverse range of people and perspectives to create a greater understanding of how people’s differences, social status and cultural expectations can affect their experiences of health and care.
It challenges and inspires people to think about the role of ethical leadership in improving the health and wellbeing of local communities, staff and patients and how the NHS can increase the social value of its activities.
Welcoming representatives from health and social care, alongside more than 20 partners from the voluntary and community sector, this event (in Leeds, Yorkshire) was a template for future NHS Values Summits, which will be held twice a year in different locations across the country. Each event will explore a different theme relating to equality, health inequalities and human rights. The next gathering will take place in May 2013.
I hate this. Why invite such a stupid guy to write preface for Woz? Since this book is my sole property, I tore off these disgusting three pages.
In mid-May 2017, a values workshop was held as part of the Education for Justice (E4J) initiative in Panama.
The workshop focussed on some 233 students between pre-kindergarten and second grade, with the aim of promote values such as integrity and honesty, as well as the tools and guides needed to face obstacles, take decisions and act responsibly in diverse social contexts.
The protagonists of the educational material, Dogui and Dengoso, surprised the children with their visit, being received in each classroom with much affection.
After the workshop, Professor Griselda Pérez de Warren, Principal of the School, along with her 447 pupils participated in a cultural event on education in values. Students of each grade delighted the audience with their talent. Finally, the dogs of the National Police dog unit astonished everyone with their abilities, closing this enriching day with laughter and applause!

The explosion of content on the Internet has many media companies racing to experiment with new forms of media and tackling ever more complex modes of distribution across myriad devices. But a lingering question for many media companies is around how to apply technologies to digitize and exploit archival content. Whether video, photography, or text, many of New York’s biggest media companies are grappling with how to take advantage of what seems a huge opportunity.
To dig deeper and get a sense of how NYC’s major players were contending with this issue, we gathered a panel to share their perspectives during our Internet Week event, The Value in the Vault, hosted at Shutterstock the evening of May 22. The panel included Jim Chou, CTO at Shutterstock; Marc Frons, CIO at The New York Times; Mona Jimenez, Associate Arts Professor and Associate Director, Moving Image Archiving and Preservation Program at NYU Tisch; Owen Rambow, Co-Chair, New Media Center, Institute for Data Sciences and Engineering at Columbia University; and Dirk Van Dall, VP, Multimedia Technology Development at Major League Baseball Advanced Media.

the edges are all fucked because i tried to solarize it and just rinsed off all the developer so it didn't work...
I've seen this room and I've walked this floor.
I used to live alone before I knew you.
I've seen your flag on the marble arch,
but love is not some victory march.
It's a cold and it's a broken hallelujah.
-Hallelujah, Imogen Heap
The critical protein values went up half the way to the minimum normal values (results from June 29, 2 weeks after starting the special diet and medication). We are sooooo happy!!! She is a lot more lively and her usual naughty and funny self. But surely, she has lost a lot of weight.
Thanks for all your good wishes!

Went on the Jumping Crocodile Cruise, on the Adelaide River, truly the best value for dollar I have had on any trip anywhere. Depends on what you are interested in I suppose. These beasts are the epitome of evil, and hail from an era long past, yet have properties and abilities we would love to have today. They are in fact a sophisticated monster, a true Apex predator, perhaps the Apex. We were on the Crocodile Cruise the day after a guy had entered the river, at the Adelaide River Bridge, a kilometre or so from where we boarded the boat, to retrieve his fishing lure. That was the end of him, taken by an albino Croc known as Michael Jackson. Whatever would possess anyone to enter the water with these monsters is beyond comprehension, you stand little to no chance. Now, things we learned on the trip: Crocs have no family or friends, in fact if mum is around when you are hatching, you will likely get eaten, the big guys can stay underwater for 4 to 5 hours, basically just lurking. They can slow their heartbeat down to one to two per minute, and reduce blood flow to their muscles, how good is that. They see very well and like bright colours. If you must swim with a croc, wear black, and swim with a friend in bright colours, that you know you are faster than.Nature is a wonderful thing. I can't remember the actual temperature, but when in the egg, if that temp varies by one degree either side (I think, might be a one degree window, ie half a degree either side) the animal will hatch female, it has to remain in that window to be male, so this limits hatchlings to 20% males. Outside a 3 degree window (again unsure on whether it is plus/minus 3 or plus/minus 1.5) and the hatchling will be deformed, and an entree for a bigger croc, or other animal. During mating it is likely participants will be injured, even losing a limb or part of their tail. They close their jaws with force at up to 2000kgs per square inch. They have 66 sets of teeth, lucky that one because they have some dental issues. There was an article in the "northern territory news" while we were up there about Brutus, a 6 metre monster croc upstream a bit from where we are, dealing with and eating a 1.5 metre bull shark, with photos for proof. You can see that here mail.dahallco.com.au/owa/redir.aspx?C=df28920994384880afd... . I was reading whileI was up there that many years ago an Aussie believed that Croc blood had special properties that may be helpful in the fight against super bugs. This belief came about as crocs can lose a limb, and not even have an infection, it just heals up and they go on with their life. Some of that mud they wallow about in would surely contain some super infectious bacteria. I think they are fantastic, the true surviving, calculating cold blooded killers of the wild, no friends, no family, what they see they truly make their own, they trample the weak and hurdle the dead, well in fact they probably eat the weak and the dead.
