"Northern Beaches Hospital thanks Alistair Boyce for his hard work in supporting the establishment of the Anaesthetic Department," the statement read. |
Over the past two weeks, Healthscope executives have had ongoing meetings and communication with staff. |
Many indicated they have been encouraged by Healthscope's action on several fronts, including addressing shortages of medical supplies and some staffing shortages, led by Dr Atkinson and Mr Gameren, Healthscope NSW's state manager. |
The Australian Salaried Medical Officers Federation, the Australian Medical Association NSW and the NSW Nurses and Midwives' Association have all indicated they would work with Healthscope to address staff concerns. |
Labor health spokesperson Walt Secord said Mr Hazzard should apologise for criticising doctors who spoke publicly about the problems at the hospital. |
Mr Secord called for Premier Gladys Berejiklian to intervene and appoint an independent external monitor to guarantee patient safety. |

Denmark:ACTION ALERT: Drop All Charges Against Sea Shepherd Volunteers Who Tried to Protect the Whales! |
These people did nothing wrong! They just protested against the massive slaughter of pilot whales! Sign and Share if you don't think these activists should be charged! |
ACTION ALERT: Stop Faroe Island Pilot Whale Hunts ! PLEASE SIGN ! |
A region that holds one of the highest standards of living in Europe has no place killing pilot whales for what they pass off as subsistence hunting; yet the Faroe Islands of Denmark do just this. |
Fishing has been utilized since the Mesolithic period. However, with an ever-expanding human population so too must our global fishing practices more responsibly evolve. What may have been prudent is now an ill-gotten act of global irresponsibility. |

ACTION ALERT: Stop the Pilot Whale Slaughter ! PLEASE TAKE ACTION ! |
Each year, around 1,500 pilot whales, those black-skinned peaceful and kind cetaceans, are driven towards bays to be killed by a group of drunken hunters who, thirsty for blood, dot it just for "sport" and in the name of an antiquated "tradition". |
ACTION ALERT: Petition Against Rating the Whale Killing Faroe Islands as Top Unspoiled Destination !!! |

Back to School: What's for Breakfast? |
All children have their own needs, like their own wardrobe, their own books and carry bags, and their own preferences for hair and facial needs which require, in most households, a time of quiet for each of them in front of the mirror. Sometimes when the morning is intense the quiet structured family life soon yields t... |
Morning hunger is pre set by the rise in stress hormones called cortisol. Cortisol and insulin rise in the morning to get you revved up and get the sugar in our body across into the cells for energy. |
Those in the know will be aware of the high incidence of “sugar” in our nation here in the Caribbean. To put the problem of diabetes into perspective here is a shocking bit of revelation. |
What we all must know is that the average adult human body carries about one imperial gallon of blood. That might be about five liters of blood carried in circulation all of the nurturing sugar goodies to every cell within your body. All of our food is turned into sugar, and we must know that insulin can only carry one... |
Now here is the great news, “within all of our blood, within the whole of the imperial gallon of the body's blood, at any one time, there can only be one teaspoon of glucose for all of our body's cellular sugar energy needs.” And furthermore should we let the level of one teaspoon of blood sugar rise up to one tablespo... |
Let's go back to the scene of the chaos of the school morning. “What is for breakfast?” Cereal? Toast? Sure the student's insulin is on a morning high and the low blood sugars are changing the child into a wanting animal; they are orchestrating the chaos in response to personal brain signals, for they are in need. |
Most parents have figured out a way around the immediate problem of quieting the children for the short term. Sugar in its quickly digestible form will quiet the beast. But later... after drop-off to school, the children will begin to get the “nods” that will come from a rush of sugar dropping off. But that isn't the p... |
Did you know that in 1700 the average man ate just 4 pounds of sugar per year? By 1800 that amount was 20 pounds, and by 1900 a whopping 100 pounds for the year. Today it is down to 77 pounds, but remember only one teaspoon can be tolerated in the blood at any one time and it must be glucose to be fuel. Any sugar that ... |
Got a fat child that is struggling socially and academically? One that is disruptive and hard to keep focused? Only their sugar eating will bring the blood chemistry into a realm of tolerance and nourishment. |
Want to help your child get the school grades and the social skills on the up rise? Feed them. Feed them reliably and responsibly. Throw out the cereals (there are over 2000 patented sugary breakfast cereals) and throw out the juice and the milk, or limit them to a few mere ounces at a serving. The sugar in them is nea... |
So what to do? Well why not feed the student an egg in the morning. Cheap, like 25 cents. Boil and peel them and if really serious pickle them for the rush out guys that will pop the whole thing into his mouth as he does up his shirt and uniform. Nothing says he cannot have leftovers for breakfast either or be a star a... |
Want to get your blood sugar the highest? Eat a baked potato. Want to get it up the fastest then eat a rice cake or even boiled white rice. Simple choices would allow us to change the white potato to a sweet potato which is so very much less stressful to the metabolism. Throw out the white potatoes. |
If you go to the fast food outlet and order a hamburger and fries, then you should go to the Dr. next and have your head examined. Order a sugary drink with your burger then lie on the floor right there and have yourself transported to emergency for you are one sick puppy. If that is how you are behaving, then remember... |
Besides who has the money to throw down on the counter to trade for a pound of their sugar for your eight or ten bucks? Sugar is cheap and it can only make cheap food. |
So feed the children, and yourself and loved ones. Feed them well, and always you will end up with a better child; a stronger and straighter one too. And, in the morning when they rise easier and behave better and you are laughing with them and not yelling, it is then all worthwhile. Let me know if it isn't so please. |
Not surprisingly, coach Sigi Schmid doesn’t buy into the concept of too much time to prepare. |
The Sounders will continue training through Friday, then travel to meet the Vancouver Whitecaps at 4 p.m. Saturday. After that, there are training games against the Portland Timbers at 6 p.m. March 11 at Qwest Field and the Colorado Rapids on March 19 in Commerce City, Colo. The regular season begins March 25 against t... |
Teams are continuing to practice under the terms of the old collective bargaining agreement. Despite the lingering uncertainty about on a new CBA, the league has said it will not lock the players out, and the players have so far chosen not to strike. |
Riley and veteran Taylor Graham said the main player issues are freedom of movement, guaranteed contracts and decreased unilateral options for MLS clubs. |
Schmid and several players agreed that no labor distractions have been evident on the pitch. |
Sounders FC has called a press conference for 10 a.m. today, when the signing of an international player is expected to be announced. … Asked about players who have stepped up their quality of play, Schmid cited Graham, Roger Levesque, Mike Fucito, Osvaldo Alonso, Brad Evans and rookies David Estrada and Michael Seamon... |
The 18- to 20-year-old tiger was considered a geriatric, but his death was unexpected, the zoo said in a news release. |
The Abilene Zoo's Bengal tiger Havar died Friday morning. |
“We are devastated. Our animal care team was with him conducting their early morning routine when he died. He was such an incredible tiger and was loved by us all,” said Dr. Stephanie Carle, the zoo's veterinarian. |
Havar was rescued from a private individual and donated to the Abilene Zoo on June 2, 2009. |
"It does not appear Havar’s death was caused by anything beyond his advanced age," the release stated. |
Bengal tigers are listed as endangered with as few as 4,000 animals left in the wild. |
Chinese artist Ai Weiwei said that his Beijing studio was demolished without warning Saturday. |
The Berlin-based artist, who left China three years ago, posted videos of the brick and concrete building’s razing on Instagram. |
“Today, they started to demolish my studio ‘zuo you’ in Beijing," he wrote on the platform. |
The artist — an outspoken government detractor — said the building housed his main studio, which he had occupied since 2006. He described it as an East German-style socialist factory building. |
“Farewell,” he wrote on Instagram. |
He posted images of a series of works he had created in the studio, followed by a string of videos documenting the abrupt demolition by bulldozer. |
Weiwei is a well-known for his critiques of the Chinese government. |
Namely, he has drawn attention to government corruption and human rights violations. |
The political dissident was detained for 81 days in 2011 for alleged tax evasion. |
His passport was confiscated for four years, prompting his move to Berlin after it was returned to him in 2015. |
He once described all relevant art as political. |
Here's a good primer from the Washington Post Wonkblog on the legislation to make online merchants collect local sales taxes on purchases. Many are involved, but Walmart is pushing it to level the playing field with online merchants that don't have brick-and-mortar outposts in every state, as Walmart does. Amazon, to n... |
Senate passage looks probable. In the House, where Rep. Steve Womack is, naturally, carrying Walmart's suitcase, things are more problematic. Local governments are missing billions nationwide because online retailers are exempt. It punishes local businesses who collect the tax, big and small. |

Flipkart is India's largest e-commerce marketplace. |
South African Internet and entertainment firm Naspers has sold its entire 11.18% stake in Indian e-commerce firm Flipkart to Walmart for $2.2 billion. |
Naspers said the proceeds will be used to reinforce its balance sheet and will be invested over time to accelerate the growth of its classifieds, online food delivery and fintech businesses globally. |
The firm also said it would pursue other growth opportunities when they arise. |
Launched in October 2007, Flipkart is India's largest e-commerce marketplace. Naspers initially invested in Flipkart in August 2012 and its cumulative investment to the point of sale amounts to $616 million. |
Walmart said yesterday it will pay $16 billion for a roughly 77% stake in Flipkart, the US retailer's largest deal to date as it competes with Amazon.com in an important growth market. |
The acquisition opens a new front in its battle with Amazon, which had expressed interest in making a competing offer. Amazon holds about 27% of India's burgeoning e-commerce market, according to Euromonitor, where Walmart only operates 21 cash-and-carry wholesale stores in the country that sell to businesses. |
The deal will probably not do much to change market share between Flipkart and Amazon in India, said Jason Benowitz, senior portfolio manager at the Roosevelt Investment Group. In the fiscal year ended 31 March, Flipkart reported sales of $4.6 billion. |
Walmart expects the deal to help set it up "for growth and profits in the future", CEO Doug McMillon said during a call with investors. McMillon has led Walmart's efforts to boost international business. |
Walmart said Flipkart's logistics, payments and apparel businesses offer new areas of growth. |
"It is not so much about succeeding in India for Walmart because that may or may not happen," said Neil Stern, senior partner at retail consultancy McMillan Doolittle. "It is really about grabbing an opportunity after waiting on the sidelines in a growth market for over a decade," he said. |
It said it remains in talks with other potential investors to join the funding round. This could lower its stake although Walmart plans to retain majority control. Reuters has reported Google-parent Alphabet may buy a roughly 15% stake in Flipkart for $3 billion. |
The remainder will be held by existing shareholders, including Flipkart co-founder Binny Bansal, China's Tencent Holdings, Tiger Global Management and Microsoft, the company said. |
Other investors, like Naspers and eBay, said they sold their holdings in Flipkart. |
