It’s been quite exciting times experimenting with cooking sous vide, including this recipe for sous vide whole chicken. I like a roast chicken dinner for two reasons. Firstly, it’s such a warming homely dish and secondly, the use of leftovers for another meal. I looked in to how to cook a whole chicken sous vide, I didn’t find anything on roasting, but found some information on poaching and I also learned that each part of the chicken cooks at different times and temperatures on sous vide.

After much deliberation, I did some maths, now that is dangerous since I am not good at it! Anyway, I came up with a few possibilities based on my findings. First attempt, I poached the chicken for 6 hours at 60°C as per my finding online and it didn’t work for my taste, the meat wasn’t quite what I was expecting, it was a bit too pink and juices weren’t running too clear.

Next experiment - I poached another chicken for 7 hours at 62°C, every degree counts on sous vide, and bingo! It was perfect! The meat is moist, juicy and the chicken still just about holds its shape.

It looked quite pale, but after a good 5 minutes under a very hot grill, you just want to crisp up the skin and not to cook the chicken. It looked very appetising. (I had tried the blow torch method but it didn’t look that great).

I also sous vide the vegetables. The onions taste so good and sweet afterwards, I made an extra dish, onion purée. Don’t worry about unpleasant breath.

This recipe is great if made on the day or in advance for a stress free roast chicken meal.

Start by preparing the sous vide (water bath): add water to it and set the temperature, in this case 85°C, cook the vegetables first
While waiting for the water to reach the desired temperature, prepare the chicken and vegetables
Add whole trussed chicken (tied up so it holds together in the pouch while poaching), the chicken sotck, half of the baby onions, mushroom and its stock, garlic, bay leaves, thyme, mustard, salt and pepper, seal the pouch. Reserve
In a separate pouch add the carrots, potatoes and the rest of baby onions, salt and pepper and seal
By now the sous vide should be ready at 85°C, if not wait and when ready place the carrot and potatoes pouch into the sous vide for 1 hour. Reserve
Lower the sous vide temperature to 62°C, when it reaches the desired temperature, place the chicken pouch in to the machine for 7 hours. In the last 20 minutes add the vegetable pouch to finish off cooking and re-heating
Preheat the grill to 250°C, remove the vegetable pouch, set aside. Remove the chicken pouch from bath and sieve the contents. Reserve the mushroom and onions. Place the broth in to a pan and simmer it by half
Untie the chicken and place it in a heat proof dish and under the grill for 5 minutes
By now the broth should be ready, add a knob of butter to achieve a shiny gravy
For the onion purée: add the onions (sous vide with the chicken) 2 tablespoons of chicken broth and cream into a blender, mix well, check for salt and pepper
Serve: vegetables around the sous vide whole chicken, place the onion puree in a separate dish. Enjoy

I like drinking real ales and am a member of Camra (Campaign for Real Ale).

In England, real beer served from a hand pulled pump in a good old fashioned pub is much nicer than beer bought in bottles or cans.

We are lucky that there are so many small breweries in England, though many of them are closing down or being bought by the large international breweries.

When I get around to it, I shall be trying to list as many local breweries and beers as I can get information about. In the meantime, here are a few local breweries:

Morland Brewery.
Originally based in Abingdon, Oxfordshire. In 1999, they were bought by Greene King who moved the brewing to Bury Saint Edmunds and closed down the Abingdon brewery, which has now been converted into flats. Morland is most famous for Old Speckled Hen, named after an MG car, and is now exported in bottles around the world. The museum in the county hall at the centre of Abingdon has some memorabilia about the brewery. The Brewery Tap in Ock street also has a room of memorobilia including a certificate showing the sale of the brewery sometime in the late 1800's. Most pubs in Abingdon serve Morland Original and Old Speckled hen. Morland Brewery
Wychwood Brewery.
Based near Witney, Oxfordshire. They brew a range of themed beers including Hobgoblin, Dr. Thirsty, Dogs Bollocks. They own a series of themed pubs around the country. Many of the large supermarkets also stock their beer in bottles.
Originally based in the centre of Oxford, but was closed down in 1999. They did a good range of beers, but they are now brewed elsewhere. There are a lot of Morrells pubs around Oxford, and since the brewery closure many of them have been revamped into "ale houses", whereby they have been made to look old and filled with strange antiques. Some of them have good beer and are worth a visit, for example the Bookbinders in Jericho has a selection of around 8 real ales in addition to the Morrells beers as well as being used in the first episode of Inspector Morse.

Update: In July 2002, Greene King bought the Morrells chain of pubs, which have been rebranded as Greene King pubs.

Hook Norton
Based in the small town of Hook Norton in North Oxfordshire. In 1998 they won the Class 1 Gold Medal and Champion Medal in the International Cask Conditioned Ales Competion at the 1998 Brewing Industry International Awards for its "Hook Norton Best Bitter". You can get a well served pint of Hook Norton Bitter in the Red Lion in Steeple Aston.
Located in Henley On Thames in Oxfordshire, brews a good range of beers.

Update: On 23rd July 2002, Brakspear announced that they were going to close the brewery. Brewing and marketting of the beer will be done as a partnership with Refresh UK who also own the Wychwood brewery. An article in the Oxford Mail on 24th July said that Refresh UK were looking for a site to build a new brewery somewhere near Henley. However the old equipment from Henley was moved to Witney where brewing now continues.

In Abingdon you can get a pint of Brakspear bitter in the Stocks Bar at the Crown and Thistle Hotel on Bridge street.

Berkshire Brewing Company

Small brewery Situated behind the Pot Kiln pub in Frilsham, Berkshire about 20 miles south of Oxford. Difficult to find but worth the trip to this unique pub. Here is a map to help you find it.

This has changed a lot since I wrote the above... its beers are quite widely available in Oxford pubs now, including Far from the madding crowd, and The Aldate tavern

Oxford Brewery

It was the only brewery in the Oxford City area, based in Kidlington. Setup in May 2002 and brewed Cavalier bitter (3.9% ABV) and Oxford Draught Ale (4.4% ABV).

Unfortunately this closed down some time ago.

Abstract Title:

Dietary supplementation with pectin and guar gum on 1,2-dimethylhydrazine-induced colon carcinogenesis in rats.

Abstract Source:

Carcinogenesis. 1992 May;13(5):815-8. PMID: 1316814

Abstract Author(s):

D W Heitman, W E Hardman, I L Cameron

The effect of dietary supplementation with pectin and/or guar gum on 1,2-dimethylhydrazine (DMH)-induced colon carcinogenesis was studied using 120 male Sprague-Dawley rats. The rats were given a weekly injection of DMH for 8 weeks and were maintained on a basal fiber-free diet supplemented with 5% cellulose. The rats were then subdivided into four groups and kept on the basal fiber-free diet supplemented with either no fiber, 10% pectin, 10% guar gum or a combination of 5% pectin/5% guar gum for a period of 24 weeks. The 8 weeks of DMH administration were defined as the initiation stage of carcinogenesis and the next 24 weeks were defined as the promotional stage of carcinogenesis. Food and water were available ad libitum. The rats were killed 32 weeks after the start of the experiment and tumor incidence, location and frequency in the colon were determined. Other parameters measured were body weight and caloric intake. Dietary fiber supplementation with 10% pectin or with 10% guar gum but not with the combination of 5% pectin/5% guar gum (fed during the promotional stage of carcinogenesis), was found to suppress colon cancer incidence to a significant extent.

Corona – Day 24 – Bad Idea

Another one of these quick and dirty ones today:

  • Those “Beverly Hills Cop” movies are still enjoyable.
  • That hot sauce challenge was a stupid idea.
  • Revisiting some classics was a good idea.
  • Next up John McTiernan movies. For some reason I feel the urge to revisit “Medicine Man”. Don’t ask me why. Or maybe I’ll finish Tony Scott’s oeuvre  first.
  • I can handle the hot sauce.
  • None of my students is going to do any of those holiday assignments the our department prepared today.
  • Now I have the “Axel F.” theme stuck in my head.
  • I have to do a proper exam with my students over the computers. That’s going to be fun. Actually, I might have figured that one out. I’m getting. The hang of forms.
  • That was such a stupid idea.

Cu tomorrow.

As we approach Thanksgiving, I want to take this opportunity to thank everyone who has supported Greyhound Friends of North Carolina with your time and donations this year.

Even with the issues associated with Covid-19, 2020 has been an incredible year in our long history. With our group of dedicated volunteers, we have kept our financial position strong, our records in order, our website, Facebook pages and newsletters going. We have made trips to Florida, West Virginia and Indiana to pick up and drop off dogs and were even able to hold Mountain Hounds Lite in May.

A Very Special Thank You goes out to all our Foster Parents who have opened their hearts, and homes to over 150 greyhounds this year. Including 5 puppies from an oops litter and a 14-year-old return that still does zoomies in the back yard and donuts in the kitchen at dinner time.

Your passion and dedication are amazing, I am truly honored to be part of this group.
Rick Montgomery
President, GFNC

Hope everyone has managed to stay nice & warm this week and you have all had lots of fun in the snow. We hope to get back to normal training this coming week, with all groups back on Tues. evening at their usual times. However this will be subject to weather conditions and the track being open, so please keep an eye on our website & FB page for updates.

Please ensure all athletes bring a coat, hat & gloves to all training sessions, as we are out in all weathers. It is far too cold to be turning up in shorts & t-shirt or hoodie at this stage. It’s easy to take something off when you get too hot, but miserable if you have nothing to put on when you’re cold or don’t have a jacket when it’s raining. Athletes also need to wear suitable runners and not street shoes or Astro Turf shoes, which are unsuitable for athletics.

Due to the present weather conditions, the final day of the Athletics Leinster Juvenile Championships scheduled for the AIT Arena this Saturday has been postponed. As this event is a qualifier for the Irish Life Health National Juvenile Indoor Championships, Athletics Leinster will run their program on the 11th March and Day 1 of the Irish Life Health National Juvenile Indoor Championships (Relays and older age field events) will be held on SATURDAY 7th APRIL. The program on the 18th and 25th March is unaffected.

This decision has been taken so that all athletes’ will be given an opportunity to compete and qualify for their National Championships.

All Ireland Schools Cross Country, Sat 10th March, Waterford IT

National Masters Indoor Championships, Sat. 10th March, Athlone

Leinster Juvenile Indoor Championships Day 4, Sun. 11th March, Athlone

National Juvenile Indoor Championships, Day 2, Sun 18th March, Athlone

National Juvenile Indoor Championships, Day 3, Sun 25th March, Athlone

National Juvenile Indoor Championships, Day 1, Sun. 7th April, Athlone

Our club awards night for 2017 will be held in Greystones Tennis Club on Friday. 23rd March at 7pm. This will take a similar format to previous years, where athletes get certificates for Attendance, Attitude & Achievement during 2017, with those who achieve all three getting an added award. There will also be 5yr, 10yr & 15 yr membership awards, Achievement awards & our Athlete of the Year. Light refreshments will be served afterwards with some treats for the athletes.

While these awards are for athletes who were with us during 2017, all athletes and their families are welcome to come along and be part of the celebrations on the night This is a great opportunity to come along and meet our volunteers and maybe have a chat with the people who coach your child each week. There will be no training on Friday 23rd to facilitate this Awards night.

The club AGM will be held on Thurs. April 12th at 8pm. All members and parents of juvenile members are invited and encouraged to attend. The AGM is an opportunity for members to find out more about the running of the club, put ideas/suggestions forward and maybe get involved in helping the club to progress in the future. While we would welcome new members on to the club committee or any of our sub committees, we will not put pressure on anyone, so please come along on the night.

It would be great to see more GAC athletes attending the organised Sunday Run, which takes place each Sunday we don’t have a competition, in a variety of beautiful locations around the County. All of you are welcome to join in our Sunday run. Primary schoolers should have an accompanying adult (who doesn't have to run), however all ages participate....... up to very old !! Many parents bring younger kids and walk, cycle or run. We meet at 9-20 for a quick warm up & start running at 9-30am sharp. This is our long easy run, where athletes run from 30-80 minutes, age related, at an easy (not jogging) conversational pace.............another chance to catch up with or make new friends! Hope to see you there, as it’s a very important part of the week’s training !!! Venues are posted on our website & FB page each week.

Eastern Cape’s Covid-19 denialists

As deaths surge, Furnworld openly breaks vital regulations

| By and

South Africa recorded its highest official number of Covid-19 deaths yet on Wednesday – 572. Of these, 400 were from the Eastern Cape. The health department counts a total of just under 6,000 Covid-19 deaths so far, 1,345 of these from the Eastern Cape.

But these are grim underestimates as the latest weekly Medical Research Council (MRC) mortality report shows. Depending on the methodology used there could be as many 17,000 excess natural deaths between 6 May and 14 July. (Unnatural deaths are homicides, accidents and suicides, the total of which has fallen dramatically since lockdown.) Most of the excess deaths are Covid-19, though it’s currently impossible to say precisely how many.

“Deaths from natural causes in the City of Cape Town (3,341), Johannesburg (1,863), Ekurhuleni (1,402), Nelson Mandela Bay (1,027), Buffalo City (658) and City of Tshwane (607) metros continued increasing in the week up to 14 July 2020,” says the MRC report.

But the two Eastern Cape cities have the smallest populations of the above six and when this is accounted for they have the highest excess death rates.

And yet in Uitenhage, part of Nelson Mandela Bay, you will find a shop that blatantly disregards the most important measures for controlling the spread of the virus: physical distancing and face masks.

Customers are urged to come in without any sanitisers. The shop owner and staff don’t wear masks and don’t respect physical distancing. A banner claims Covid-19 is a “fake pandemic”. And the shop owner, Armand du Preez, promotes conspiracy theories about the epidemic on Furnworld’s website.

Furnworld was established 21 years ago. The store sells furniture, beds, TVs and tables.

Du Preez claims, falsely: “Sanitizing five or ten times a day is killing our skin.”

His views on masks are no less pseudo-scientific: “We are saying masks are sucking back the bad gas that we breathe out of our bodies every day. We don’t wear masks either.”

He disputes the Covid-19 death count even though he has no known expertise in epidemiology. “I am not saying there is no such thing as a Coronavirus: I am saying it’s there as a mild flu virus, and that is proven by many good doctors, physicians out there in Germany and America who are no fake doctors.”

But this is false. The World Health Organisation estimates that 290,000 to 650,000 die annually of seasonal flu. Note, this is an estimate, not confirmed deaths. In fewer than seven months, the worldwide confirmed Covid-19 death toll is already 630,000. The real death toll is much, much greater than that because many deaths of Covid-19 are never diagnosed and most countries do not have the capacity to accurately count their Covid-19 deaths. Moreover, this has happened despite the extraordinary global measures — lockdowns, masks, physical distancing — introduced to reduce Covid-19 deaths. Without these measures, many millions would likely have already died of the disease.

Yet Du Preez claims: “There are big pestilences (in the Book of Revelations) that are coming, instead of Covid-19 which is a fake pandemic used to prepare for a cashless society.”

“We have never closed our store even when Covid-19 started,” he brags.

His colleague, Victoria Bassey, says she greets people, shakes their hands, with or without masks and that she does not wear face masks to protect herself against Covid-19 pandemic.

Police spokesperson Colonel Priscilla Naidu said the Department of Labour opened a case during May 2020 after an inspection was conducted at Furnworld in terms of the Disaster Management Act. Naidu said it had been handed over to the Uitenhage state prosecutor for a decision.

Editor’s comment: Covid-19 denialism is deadly

Some of government’s disaster regulations are questionable. The cigarette ban makes no sense. The alcohol ban is debatable as is the 9pm curfew.

But the regulations to wear masks in shops and to observe physical distancing are absolutely vital to reduce new Covid-19 cases and save lives.

It’s easy to dismiss Armand du Preez as a conspiracy theorist. That he certainly is. But he isn’t an outlier; many share his delusions. His dangerously wrong views are common. It’s important that they be debunked and condemned.

In vitro fertilisation

FDA Warns Couples About NY Fertility Doctor’s Three-Parent IVF Treatment

Last year, Dr. John Zhang did the unthinkable. He performed a three-parent in vitro fertilization treatment and eliminated mitochondrial disease for one very lucky family. A condition that often results in death for any infants born with it, mitochondrial disease is passed down from the mother to the baby.

FDA Warns Couples About NY Fertility Doctor’s Three-Parent IVF Treatment

Scientists have been working on removing the defective mitochondria from the mother’s eggs (which is how the condition is passed down) and then implanting healthy mitochondria from a donor. The UK has allowed its use, but the United States and Canada have not.

To get around the United States’ regulatory issues, Dr. Zhang traveled to Mexico to perform his “spindle nuclear transfer” procedure – a process in which the removal and implantation of mitochondria are done before the egg is fertilized. Now he is marketing the technique to couples, saying he can help them conceive healthy and thriving babies, but the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is calling him out by warning couples of the possible risks.

A Closer Look at Mitochondrial Disease

Mitochondria are called the cell’s powerhouse for a reason – they provide the cells and the entire body with energy. They have their own DNA and make up less than one percent of the egg’s structure. If a mother’s defective mitochondria are passed down to her baby, the infant may deal with a variety of complications, including muscle weakness, heart problems, stroke-like episodes, diabetes, epilepsy, and possibly fatality.

Removal and implantation of donor mitochondria can eliminate such complications, but the FDA refuses to approve testing. The concern is over genetically modified embryos – or “designer babies” – because some lawmakers feel it is too much like “playing God.” But is it really, or is Dr. Zhang (for all his faults in refusing to follow regulations) a hero?

The FDA’s Warning to Dr. Zhang

Dr. Zhang’s run-in with the FDA started when he requested a “pre-investigational new drug (IND) meeting for a clinical investigation of a ‘spindle transfer for assisted pregnancy in patients with mitochondrial disease.’” That was on April 22, 2016 – days after the mother of the embryo in question gave birth to a healthy baby boy.

Zhang’s request was denied, and he was specifically asked not to market the procedure until an IND on the procedure was in place. He continued to market it anyway and is now being reprimanded. He has been asked to contact the FDA directly, and in writing, to explain the steps he has taken to address the violations against him, and how he plans to prevent their reoccurrence. If he fails to comply, he could be at risk for the loss of his medical license.

Is the U.S. Being Unreasonable?

Although Zhang essentially claims to have pioneered the spindle procedure, Professor Hank Greely of Stanford University says that similar procedures have been done in the past but were stopped over the FDA’s concerns about cloning. The UK is also doing a similar procedure (which wasn’t permitted until after additional safety tests) that involves fertilizing both the mother’s and donor’s eggs prior to removal and implantation of the cell’s nucleus. Doctors in Ukraine also recently announced the birth of a baby girl that was conceived using a similar technique.

That brings us to the question of whether the U.S. is being unreasonable or not in their refusal to move forward with procedures like Zhang’s spindle transfer method, or even the pronuclear transfer being used in the UK and Ukraine. Perhaps, but there are some valid concerns that should be considered. Take the little girl born in the Ukraine as an example.

Because her mitochondrial DNA was altered, she will pass down any modifications to any children she might have in the future. Science does not yet know the possible implications of this, and safety testing at this point is difficult – partly because of the regulatory issues. What’s the solution? At this point, no one can really say. However, when one considers the miracles that mitochondrial removal and implantation may work, it certainly seems a shame that we haven’t budged since our reporting on Dr. Zhang last year.

What do you think? Should the United States make way for progress, or do they have the right idea, banning genetic modification of embryos? We’d love to hear your opinion!

H. Irving Grousbeck: Demystifying Entrepreneurship

The longtime professor talks about building Stanford GSB’s startup curriculum, refining ethics, and keeping pace.

April 22, 2019

H. Irving Grousbeck’s early jobs taught him one thing: he didn’t want to work for anybody | Elena Zhukova

H. Irving Grousbeck’s first job out of college wasn’t a fit. The liberal arts major who had considered becoming a minister had zero accounting experience when he was hired by Arthur Young (now Ernst & Young).

“What I learned was valuable, and the people were extraordinarily nice to me, but I disliked the work,” he says. “And if I were ever promoted to manager, which was nowhere in sight, I didn’t think those responsibilities would be any more attractive.”

He lasted 18 months, then left for Harvard Business School. During a summer internship, he found himself in another frustrating role, working at Procter & Gamble in its manufacturing operations. His contributions felt negligible. And, similar to Arthur Young, the ambitions of his coworkers didn’t resonate. “I looked up the line and realized there was no way I wanted to be VP of this company — and there were 90,000 people competing for the job, so I probably wouldn’t get it anyway,” he says.

Grousbeck, now an adjunct professor at Stanford Graduate School of Business, says the experiences led to a simple epiphany: “I didn’t want to work for anybody.”

So four years after graduating from Harvard, he cofounded Continental Cablevision (later Media One), a cable television provider, where he was president from 1964 until 1980. He left that job to lecture at Harvard Business School, and then, in 1985, moved to Stanford GSB, where he helped to develop the school’s entrepreneurship curriculum, including cofounding its renowned Center for Entrepreneurial Studies.

In a recent conversation, Grousbeck reflected on his life in entrepreneurship and how it has shaped his role as a teacher and mentor to thousands of Stanford GSB students.

Building a Startup Curriculum

Grousbeck was an outlier among his Harvard classmates. In the 1960s, HBS was known as a place that stamped out corporate managers. It offered one class in entrepreneurship. The venture capital industry was essentially nonexistent, and the path to starting a company murky.

When he arrived to teach at Stanford 20 years later, he discovered an entrepreneurship curriculum with two courses, one in strategy and one on small business management.

Grousbeck started out “way back in a dark office where no one saw me,” he remembers, but demand for his classes grew, both because of his reputation (he won the distinguished teaching award his second year at the school) and because of Silicon Valley’s gravitational pull. In the 1980s, the area became known as the center of the computer industry and, in the 1990s, ground zero for the internet as Yahoo, eBay, PayPal, and Google all set down roots. By the mid-’90s, then Dean A. Michael Spence asked Grousbeck to create a center for entrepreneurship. Grousbeck and professor Charles Holloway founded the Center for Entrepreneurial Studies in 1996, and they attracted tenured faculty and practitioners to broaden the scope of coursework, research, and expertise available to students.

Today, Stanford GSB has roughly 80 sections of 63 courses under the entrepreneurship umbrella. “Chuck [Holloway] and I were helping to develop entrepreneurship in Silicon Valley, after all, and that shouldn’t be too hard — a lot of the credit goes to the education environment,” he says. “But the school has come to be known, in part, for its entrepreneurship curriculum, and we are proud of that.”

Coursework aside, Grousbeck’s fundamental teaching mission has remained unchanged: He wants students to understand what issues, risks, challenges, and opportunities a career in entrepreneurship entails and to question whether it’s right for them. “When I teach, I’m not trying to proselytize, to convince students to be entrepreneurs, or even make it easy for them,” he says. “I’m simply trying to demystify the option.”

Accenting Fairness and Decency

For 10 years, Grousbeck has taught a class at Stanford School of Medicine on delivering bad news. How do you tell patients and their families what they don’t want to hear? He recently imported this idea into a new course at the business school: CEOs, like doctors, often face rough interpersonal terrain.

The move was based on a simple insight. Prescription, he says, is easy for students at the business school; they are smart and have excellent analytical skills. “If you ask them the best way to approach a difficult conversation and the points they ought to cover, they’ll provide thoughtful answers,” he says. “But execution is different: If you place them in front of the room and ask them to role-play the conversation, they may not do it as well — and I wouldn’t have done it well at their age either.”

Possessing these conversational skills is an essential component of leadership. Whether terminating an employee or negotiating with a supplier, students must be equipped to handle a range of thorny situations directly, respectfully, and fairly.

Grousbeck says his motivation for all of his teaching is to weave ethical depth into instruction on management practices. “We have a moral imperative as faculty members to help students learn along many dimensions — beyond the academic content, we owe it to them to talk about concepts like fairness and respect and even friendship,” he says. This unfolds as an ongoing theme throughout his courses. “I do this, in part, because at the end of their careers, when looking back, there will probably be one central question they ask themselves: What values did I stand for?”

Keeping Pace and Finding Balance

Two key challenges face today’s business students, Grousbeck says. The first is the rate at which new technologies are emerging. This presents young entrepreneurs with tremendous opportunity — a business can be launched at almost no cost from a dorm room. But it also demands hypervigilance over a constantly evolving landscape of resources and threats.

The second challenge relates to life outside one’s career. “One of the biggest changes I’ve seen over nearly 40 years of teaching is the increasingly intense need that students feel to balance work and life,” Grousbeck says. After he graduated from Harvard, “people were willing to leave business school, put their heads down, work like dogs for 10 or 12 years, then look up at age 38 and say, ‘What’s the rest of my life supposed to look like?’” But students today feel a self-imposed pressure to be both ambitious in their careers and successful in their personal lives. Grousbeck understands that admirable but difficult aspiration. “I’d like to say my work-life balance was beautiful, but that would be a big, bad lie,” he says. “And partially because of my shortcomings, I’m very sensitive to this topic.”

Today, though, at age 84, he has found what seems to be a deeply gratifying balance. He is the principal owner of the Boston Celtics — a 2002 acquisition he made with his son and a number of other investors — and he teaches fall and spring quarters at Stanford. During these six months, he works roughly 30 hours per week. He continues to love teaching, but he watches the student evaluations closely, monitoring for any downward trends, a signal that it’s time to move on.

“In the meantime, it’s just such a treat to be here — I love my colleagues, the students are smart, there are adequate resources, and I teach a subject that I am passionate about,” he says. “It has been a gift.”

Michelle Lesco has the record for most mayonnaise eaten in three minutes at 2,448 g (86.35 oz)

Michelle "Cardboard Shell" Lesco is a petite framed woman with a healthy appetite.

Ranked #9 in the world by the International Federation of Competitive Eaters (IFOCE) and Major League Eating (MLE), her ravenous appetite for eating competitions has landed her a feature in Guinness World Records 2020.

With a hearty total of three Guinness World Records titles, the math teacher from Arizona, USA has proven herself to be the ultimate foodie.

She champions titles for fastest time to eat a bowl of pasta (mmm, carbs!) at 26.69 seconds, fastest time to eat a hot dog with no hands at 21.60 seconds, and most mayonnaise eaten in three minutes at 2,448 g (86.35 oz) – which is the equivalent to 3.5 jars.

Michelle first got involved with speed-eating after her friends backed out of a challenge they were supposed to do together.

Her two male friends said no to eating a 12 patty, 12 slices of cheese, lettuce, tomato, and a burger – but Michelle tackled it without fear.

From that point on, she was hooked – and has been doing competition eating for good causes ever since.

Michelle Lesco pasta

In fact, her title for fastest time to eat a bowl of pasta was tied to the charity food drive "Carbs for a Cause", where she smashed the previous record by 14 seconds.

Many are surprised to learn that the 5' 4" record holder can down as much food as she does, but if you ask Michelle – she’ll say it's a misapprehension.

"The biggest misconception about competitive eating is that all of us are like 500 pounds and 10 feet tall. Back in the day when they first started these contests, they would pull people from the audience, and they picked people that they thought could eat the most – so I think that’s where it came from."

Michelle Lesco hot dog

Michelle mentions her fast metabolism contributes to her ability to put down such large quantities of food, but a fair amount of "practice" goes into preparing her stomach for competitions which includes expanding her stomach capacity.

She will often eat the food she is about to competitively consume prior to any real-time attempts.

Hair transplant in Manchester: Costs and Services

FUE hair transplant in Manchester

Number of hair transplants: 1
Number of transplanted hairs: 6200

Denis got back his hairline and improved the density at his crown with the FUE2 hair transplant.
He had his surgery with us on the 7-8th of May 2018.

Case Study >

Visit our office in Manchester for a free consultation

The first step you need to take if you are looking to get your hair done is to talk to an expert.

We offer free consultations in Manchester, so you can meet our hair transplant specialists for a thorough examination.

The 20-minute appointment is a great opportunity to discuss the result you are looking for and to learn what surgical hair restoration would entail.

The surgeon will examine your hair and scalp with a digital hair density and scalp microscope.

This way, we can accurately assess your condition and determine the number of hairs you need for the natural-looking result.

Based on the examination, we will create a detailed treatment plan and quote, so you can make a well-informed decision about your hair transplant later on.

How much is a hair transplant in Manchester?

Hair transplant prices are influenced by a handful of factors such as the number of follicles you need, the hair transplant method, and where you have your surgery.

The higher living expenses in the UK dictate a higher average hair transplant cost in Manchester too.

With HairPalace, you have an option to have your hair transplant either in our London or in our Budapest hair clinic.

Though the locations could not be more different, the experience is the same. We are using the FUE2 SafeSystem method in both of our clinics and work with seasoned experts with several years of experience in hair transplant surgeries.

The only difference you will find is the price: due to the higher wages and running expenses, our prices in London are between £1989 and £9042.

As the upkeep of the same exclusive private clinic is much lower in Budapest opting for a flight ticket instead of a train card can save you thousands.  At our transplant clinic in Budapest, our prices for hair transplant surgery range from £1490 to £3890.

To get an accurate quote in your case, you need an examination first. You can meet the experts of our hair clinic in Manchester, or we could evaluate your condition online.

Which hair transplant method do we recommend?

While the FUE hair transplant turned out to be more effective than the FUT, it is still not the best one out there.

Currently, the best method in the field is the FUE2 SafeSystem method, which is the enhanced version of the FUE.

The FUE2 drill uses a blunt needle and employs a blocking device that regulates the depths of the punches. As a result, the tool minimizes the risk of damaging the grafts during the extraction.

 With years of experience in its use and the success rates reaching 90-95%, we can confidently recommend our patients the FUE2.

Furthermore, the FUE2 SafeSystem method offers:

  • completely pain-, and scar-free procedure
  • the highest success rate in the industry
  • natural-looking results as the surgeon can also choose the characteristics of the hairs besides the number of the hair follicles transplanted
  • short recovery time
  • SafeSystem also provides an opportunity for those who have thin hairs

Our hair transplant experts in Manchester

We work with 6 hair transplant specialists who have vast experience in hair restoration and who are ready to answer all of your questions!

When it comes to a hair transplant in Manchester – or anywhere else – even the best hair transplant method is useless if the surgeon lacks the necessary skills and expertise.

Putting the right technique in the right hands allows us to offer a written guarantee for the implanted hairs. Through regular follow-ups, your surgeon will track your recovery and advise you in the post-op period too to ensure that you achieve the result you look for.

2nd hair transplant with HairPalace

These guys are amazing! Just had my 2nd hair transplant with these guys (this time was the crown, I got my front done at my 1st op). The results I got from my 1st op were amazing. The pick up from the airport is easy, the flat you stay in is great, loads of choices for food and movies during the operation. Ive done a lot of research on FUE , and you wont find a cheaper clinic that provides such amazing results.

Superhero Costumes

Superhero Costumes for Boys

No matter what (and there are many) superhero character your child has in mind as his favorite, our huge selection is as good as the local phone booth for getting him quickly into the most appropriate costume look to make his superhero dreams into a quick reality. With choices like Superman, Spiderman, Batman, Robin, Captain America and Iron Man, your child's quest to take the bad guys to task and overcome evil should be relatively easy. At least that's how it works in comic books and superhero movies--hopefully it happens this way in your child's imagination too!

We all love them. Superheroes seem larger than life, even bigger than our imaginations can sometimes wrap our brains around. These infamous characters that we call superheroes are something we all grew up loving and most of us actually at one time or another likely wished we could be one of them ourselves. There is something hopeful as well as empowering to the notion that there is something more powerful than an average human that will come to intervene when all hope is nearly lost. Just in the knick of time, someone will be there in order save the day; that's the job of the superhero. The idea of superheroes has been around for a long time. Superman is arguably the original of the many unique superhero characters that have come through comic books and movies alike. Kids love the idea that Superman had great physical strength and super human powers, not to mention being able to fly. Parents can enjoy the idea that these heroic figures that their kids are embracing are all about fighting for truth and justice as well as maintaining law and order. Many superheroes have quite ordinary alter egos as well. The fact that Superman transformed into his grand self from quite an ordinary, almost nerdy Clark Kent only further enhanced his allure to the average person. When it comes to Halloween costumes or imaginative playtime and dress up, becoming a superhero has always been a kid's favorite choice. As a superhero you can scale or leap easily over tall buildings, see with x-ray vision; fearlessly confront bad guys and evil beings in order to restore society's moral code--all very exciting things to do during at home superhero adventures. Being a superhero almost always means that good wins out over evil. In the world of the superhero, the good guy almost always finishes first.

Seattle Bicyclist Injured after Being Struck by Driver

By Hardwick & Pendergast, P.S. on May 21, 2013

A male bicyclist was injured in a Seattle car crash when a vehicle struck him as he rode along a busy roadway. The Seattle Post-Intelligencer reports that the bicycle accident occurred on Lake Washington Boulevard South in Seattle. Officials say he will survive but that he suffered serious rib injuries. A drug-recognition expert evaluated the driver following the crash. It is unclear what led to the collision or if the driver will be cited for the accident.

Seattle is known for being bike-friendly and many local riders take to the roadways on their daily commute to and from work. May is National Bike Month and it is a good time to reflect on not only the benefits of riding a bike in Seattle, but also how important it is for riders and motorists to share the road. Failure to do so can result in devastating accidents.

If you are ever been involved in a Seattle bicycle accident, here are a few steps that you should take to protect your rights.

  • Notify the authorities right away. Their documentation of when and where the accident took place can prove useful. Also, if they decide to cite the driver responsible for the crash, it could give validity to your injury claim.
  • Collect the contact information from the driver as well as from anyone who may have witnessed the crash.
  • Take photos of the crash site, your damaged bicycle, the vehicle involved, and your injuries.
  • Write down everything you remember about the crash before you begin to forget important details.
  • Seek out immediate medical attention to help you recover and to establish documentation of your injuries.
  • Keep a journal of your daily struggles since the accident.
  • Call an experienced Seattle bicycle accident attorney.

The experienced bicycle accident attorneys at Hardwick & Pendergast, P.S. are known for protecting the rights of injured victims and their families. Please call our offices today at (888) 228-3860 for a free consultation and comprehensive case evaluation.

Hartlepool set for Ridley Scott celebration marking milestone for his 1982 masterpiece Blade Runner

The Northern School of Art is backing celebrations of one of the greatest ever sci-fi films - directed by its most famous former student Ridley Scott.

Monday, 16th September 2019, 7:00 am
Updated Tuesday, 17th September 2019, 12:52 pm
Harrison Ford as Rick Deckard in the 1982 film Blade Runner.

The Teesside Cyberpunk Convention is holding a series of events to mark the importance of Hartlepool and other nearby towns to Scott when creating his 1982 masterpiece Blade Runner, which is set in 2019 and stars Harrison Ford.

A four-day marathon of screenings, outdoor cinema, speeches, talks, debates, workshops, markets and “dystopian music nights” take place across the area from November 7-10.

There will be an outdoor screening of Blade Runner at Wilton, the chemical plant that inspired the film’s opening sequence.

Harrison Ford as Rick Deckard in the 1982 film Blade Runner.

A bike ride will be staged, from Scott’s old house to Hartlepool, re-enacting his first film, Boy and Bicycle, which will be given an outdoor screening. It was shot entirely in Hartlepool and Seaton Carew in 1962.

Guests at the event will include Joanna Cassidy, who played Zhora Salome in Blade Runner and Katy Haber, production executive on the film.

Debates and speeches will come from a range of academics, journalists and critics, including Dr Robin Bunce from Cambridge University and author of Blade Runner 2049, a book about the movie’s sequel.

The Teesside Cyberpunk Convention is being organised by arts organisation Static Trading.

Blade Runner director Ridley Scott studied at the Northern School of Art.

Convention director Paul Sullivan said: “I recorded Blade Runner on VHS in the mid-eighties when it was first screened on TV and it seeped into my own memories after being paused, rewound, studied and replayed on a seemingly endless nocturnal loop.

“As the fictional date of Blade Runner was becoming real, it was imperative that in November 2019 something had to be done.

“I have been visiting Teesside in order to develop the project and have been blown away by the hospitality and encouragement of the people of Teesside and everyone associated with the project.”

Pat Chapman, vice principal at Northern School of Art said: “It’s great that Paul and Static Trading have worked to develop this celebration of all things Blade Runner, and that the events in Hartlepool celebrate the talent and vision of both Sir Ridley and Tony Scott, both of whom studied here.”

Blade Runner star Joanna Cassidy will appear at the Cyberpunk Convention in November.

The programme for Teesside Cyberpunk Convention is available at www.cyberpunkconvention.com/

My husband and I were experiencing marital problem since this is the first year of our marriage. Every day staying together at peace was a task, but as we started going to the meeting we experienced healing in our relationship and marriage. Every time there was no meeting or we were unable to come to the meetings all hell broke loose.

Also I have been completely healed of all dysmenorrhea since coming to the meetings. It would be so bad that I would be unable to get out of bed for 2 days at least. I got set free from terrible PMS which would put me in a terrible emotional state but now I am experiencing peace.

Thank you for your vision and heart to see the Body of Christ set free. I see that not only we but everyone who goes to the meetings are experiencing freedom from curses and bondages.

Different Types of Psychologists

The field of psychology is growing quickly in the US today; this is related in part to the tremendous growth in demand for healthcare services. As we have noted elsewhere on this website, the demand for healthcare services of all kinds is increasing rapidly and will continue to do so in the next decade.

This growth has also influenced the demand for all types of psychological services. After all, people want to be psychologically sound and healthy, as well as physically. This fact is borne out in government statistics: The Bureau of Labor Statistics reports that psychologist employment will rise by 19% by 2024, which is much faster than average. And for clinical, counseling and school counselors, growth will hit 20%.

BLS states that demand for psychological services will be particularly strong in:

  • Schools
  • Hospitals
  • Mental health centers
  • Social service agencies

These impressive statistics indicate that now is an excellent time to enter the field of psychology. There are few fields where you can enjoy such a strong level of demand as well as a high salary, while also helping people live better lives.

If you are interested in making psychology your career, it is important to learn as much as you can about the different types of psychologists. Below is an outline of the major types of psychologist that you can become if you earn at least a master’s degree, and in some cases, your doctoral degree in psychology.

The first step to becoming a psychologist is to earn your bachelor’s degree in psychology, but you must earn at least a master’s degree to begin to practice as a licensed psychologist. After you earn at least your master’s degree, you must do an internship of at least one or two years of supervised experience.

You also must pass the Examination for Professional Practice in Psychology, which is administered by the Association of State and Provincial Psychology Boards. After you are a licensed psychologist, you also can obtain specialty certification through the American Board of Professional Psychology in 15 areas, including:

  • Clinical health
  • Couples and family
  • Rehabilitation
  • Forensics
  • Children and adolescents

If you want to earn a master’s degree in psychology online, there are a variety of quality programs now available, such as Fort Hays State University.

Consider these types of psychologist for your career:

Clinical Psychologist

Clinical psychologists work with their clients to identify various emotional, mental and behavioral disorders and to work towards solutions to cure or minimize them. Generally, in clinical psychology, the patient has a mental illness or some type of abnormal behavior or emotional disorder.

This type of psychologist uses observation, interviews and tests to diagnose potential disorders, and with the client, they determine the best program of treatment according to the needs of the client. A clinical psychologist observes the progress of the client over time to ensure that all needs are met.

Many clinical psychologist choose to earn their Ph.D. or Psy.D. degree in psychology eventually so that they may practice privately with their own office and schedule. Or, you can work at a university, clinic, hospital or community health center. With a master’s degree, you can work as a clinical psychologist but under the supervision of another psychologist with a doctoral degree.

Knowledge, Skills, and Abilities

The most important knowledge, skills, and abilities for Practical Nurses are:

  • Medicine and Dentistry – Knowledge of the information and techniques needed to diagnose and treat human injuries, diseases, and deformities. This includes symptoms, treatment alternatives, drug properties and interactions, and preventive health-care measures.

  • Active Learning – Understanding the implications of new information for both current and future problem-solving and decision-making.

  • Oral Comprehension – The ability to listen to and understand information and ideas presented through spoken words and sentences.

Counseling Psychologist

A counseling psychologist is similar to a clinical psychologist, but he or she tends to work with patients more on dealing with problems, such as issues in the home, with parents, children, spouses and so forth. This differs in some ways with clinical psychology, where there is more of a focus on a person with an actual mental disorder.

A counseling psychologist works with the patient to identify both their strengths and weaknesses and the resources that they have in their immediate surroundings to deal with their problems.

As a counseling psychologist, it is really important for you to be able to develop an innate ability to make others comfortable talking about their problems and to work through difficult issues.

Forensic Psychologist

Forensic psychology is a very different field than counseling or clinical psychology. This special area of psychological practice  is focused on using advanced psychological principles in the criminal justice and legal systems to assist judges and attorneys and other legal experts to understand the psychology of suspects or convicted criminals in a criminal case.

Forensic psychology can be a very important part of solving a case. Professionals in this area are often able to assist in narrowing down a list of suspects. They also can help to provide a motive for a crime, which can also limit the number of suspects. In many cases, the testimony of an expert forensic psychologist can be the most critical piece of the puzzle to get a conviction.

After you graduate with at least a master’s degree in psychology, you can become a certified forensic psychologist through the American Board of Professional Psychology.

School Psychologist

For professionals with an interest in psychology and also the healthy development of children of all backgrounds, you can find a fascinating career in school psychology. Many school psychologists will work closely with school or guidance counselors. That professional will refer students to the school psychologist who he or she thinks is in need of further help and treatment.

A school psychologist can work with students from elementary school to college age. They act as advocates for the well being of the student and are vitally important for their educational and personal well being. Many school psychologists today help their students to deal with problems over bullying, disabilities, LGBTQ issues, self esteem issues and poor performance in the classroom.

To become a school psychologist, you need to earn your master’s degree in school psychology, and then you must be certified by the National Association of School Psychologists.

Industrial/Organizational Psychologist

The workplace can be a frustrating place for many people. One of the ways to help to keep places of employment running more efficiently is through the work of industrial/organizational psychologists.

This special branch of psychology studies the workplace and its employees and comes up with more effective ways of managing the workplace and workers. Another vital aspect of this area of psychology is to help employers implement more effective hiring practices so that they get the best employees for the right jobs.

The industrial side of this branch of psychology works with the individual worker and his relationship with where he works. This can cover things that include:

  • Job analysis
  • Safety of the employee
  • Training
  • Measurement of job performance
  • Employee hiring

On the organizational side, the psychologist will focus on the organization and the workplace overall. This where maximizing productivity comes into play. You might conduct studies on how interpersonal relationships between people in different departments with different skills are affecting productivity.

If you are wanting a career where you help others lead more productive lives and you want to have your pick of job opportunities, the field of psychology is a logical choice. Just determine which type of psychologist you want to be.

University of Newcastle Australia Creates Healthcare Learning VR Simulations

VR Training has a strong future in Healthcare Simulation, as the University of Newcastle Australia has demonstrated with two new powerful virtual reality learning programs for Oral Health Therapy and OB gestation. Lead by Lecturer Mrs. Denise Higgins (for the Oral Trainer), and Lecturer Mr. Donovan Jones (for the OB trainer) the two programs benefit learners with personal and 1st person experiences otherwise not possible through other learning mediums. The University’s Newsroom recently covered these two innovative programs which we are highlighting today. Last week we covered some of the latest trends in VR for healthcare simulation, but these applications are so relevant they deserved their own special consideration!

Oral Health VR Training for Anesthetic Needle Administration & More

Denise Higgins, Lecturer in Oral Health and Simulation Coordinator, explains the ground-breaking anesthetic VR program at the University of Newcastle’s Ourimbah campus. As part of her PhD, Mrs Higgins has explored a myriad of inventive options to enhance the teaching and learning experience, including developing her own simulator model mouths made from synthetic ‘skin’ which replicates real human tissue for students to practice on. Mrs Higgins said regarding Oral Health VR “Administering anesthetic needles is an incredibly intricate process, and not something many feel confident doing without extensive practice. Ultimately, we want our patients to feel safe, comfortable and at-ease, which is why it’s crucial to ensure our students feel confident entering the patient clinic.”

The program, a collaboration between the University’s IT Services Innovation Team and School of Health Sciences, aims to bridge the gap between the classroom and clinic to ensure students are confident and capable when administering delicate anesthetic needles. Utilizing an Oculus headset, the wearer is transported to a virtual dental clinic, where a patient awaits a procedure. Students can access a range of scenarios, including procedures requiring palatal injections to the roof of the mouth and interdental injections between the teeth. A target point gives students the ideal mark to place the needle and a virtual gauge displays the milliliters being administered once the user engages the needle.

“What’s fantastic about this new program is we’ve been able to replicate typical scenarios an oral health practitioner would perform on a daily basis – things like administering dental injections in areas that would help anesthetize nerves for pain management and patient comfort,” Mr Williams said. “Simulation is a wonderful teaching resource as students can participate in a controlled, standardized and safe environment. They can stop the simulation at any stage to review their progress or if they need to turn to teachers and peers for support. “We hope the tool will be useful on a global scale and may eventually apply to anyone working in the field.” No stranger to innovation, Mrs Higgins has worked tirelessly with the Health Sciences team at the University of Newcastle to revolutionize the Bachelor of Oral Health Therapy in recent years, introducing ground-breaking new equipment to complement student studies.

Acting Head of Discipline, Associate Professor Janet Wallace, said the steps the University was taking to introduce simulation into the curriculum was solidifying its position as a leader in this field. “Students are really benefitting from the fact that the equipment they’re using is new, different, and fully interactive, and it is supporting their theory with practical experience. It’s visual, can give them feedback on their efforts, gives them confidence and a competitive edge when they enter the workforce,” Associate Professor Wallace said.

“We’re encouraged to think outside the box and implement new ideas to enhance teaching and learning here at the University of Newcastle, and I am proud to say I work alongside some of the brightest minds in Oral Health,” Mrs Higgins said.

“Our second and third year students are trialling the technology this semester, and so far we’ve had really positive feedback on how the virtual simulation is supporting their studies. I’m really looking forward to seeing positive student outcomes as well as continuing to investigate new ways to enhance teaching and learning experiences.”

Road to Birth Gestation Learning VR

Through the use of a digital headset, Road to Birth takes users on a journey through pregnancy, depicting a life-size female figure in front of them, whose gestation can be explored and observed.

Incorporating a pregnancy timeline, key anatomy and circulatory systems, as well as expert commentary from experienced midwives at each stage of pregnancy, users can employ the program to investigate the internal changes as the baby develops. A collaboration between UON’s School of Nursing and Midwifery and IT Innovation Team, key features include crucial birth considerations like the baby’s orientation and placental positioning.

With childbearing and postpartum stages challenging to teach with current resources, Road to Birth offers students a world-first opportunity to follow a detailed, realistic and 3D figure through a pregnancy without any visual barriers. Project lead and Lecturer in Midwifery, Mr Donovan Jones, acknowledged the delivery room could often be a dangerous place, with common issues such as the incorrect positioning of the placenta having the potential to be catastrophic. “At the moment we teach with dolls and pelvises, and I can tell you firsthand from being a student as well as an educator, the position of the placenta is one of the hardest things to learn, and yet it’s absolutely one of the most imperative things to know. “If a midwife can’t identify its position and lets the woman go into natural labour with the baby obstructed, the baby’s life is at serious risk – simple as that,” Mr Jones explained.

“The scope of Road to Birth is clear, with its impact having the potential to reach a global audience, from students and health professionals in cities and remote locations, to expectant parents wanting to understand more about their pregnancy. Keen to continue the evolution of the application, Mr Williams said Road to Birth’scapability would evolve to meet the needs of future users.

UON has established itself as a leader in the VR field, with its neonatal resuscitation simulation receiving impressive accolades in 2017. IT Innovation Manager, Mr Craig Williams, said the tailored, user-driven resource was a continuation of UON’s ground-breaking work in virtual education.
