Could you do a five day 'Better Death' programme during Twixtmas ...

Over 500,000 people in the UK will die during 2013. It is a sad fact. Yet, could you use the Twixtmas break ? the five days between the Christmas and New Year holidays ? to be better prepared for the inevitable, reduce emotional stress for your loved ones, and also ensure your final wishes are met?

The Dying Matters Coalition aims to help transform public attitudes towards dying, death and bereavement in England. Check out their web site at www.dyingmatters.org

In a time poor age, where people use the excuse of not having enough time to do things for themselves or others, the Twixtmas break could be an ideal time to help you and your loved ones to face up to something we all want to avoid.

Many of us have specific wishes about how we would like to die, or how long we want doctors to try to keep us alive, or what we would like to happen after our death.
There may be important matters you want to address now rather than when time is short. Sorting out a will, or signing up for organ donation can be done idiscretly by yoursellf. Important issues, such as how you?d like to be cared for, you do need to sttart talking to family or loved ones about your wishes.
Less than a third of people have discussed their wishes around dying and only 4% have written advance care plans. Around 70% of people would prefer to die at home, yet around 60% die in hospitals.
The ?5 day be better prepared for dying? programme supports the wider non-commercial Twixtmas campaign which is launching a ?University of Twixtmas? ? encouraging everyone to do and learn 5 new things to make the world a better place. Further details at www.twixtmas.com
Here is your five day programme to be better prepared for that fateful day.

Day 1 ? Make a will

Day 2 ? Record your funeral wishes

Day 3 -? Plan your future care and support

Day 4 ? Register as an organ donor

Day 5 ? Tell your loved ones your wishes

The Dying Matters Coalition is led by the National Council for Palliative Care, and has 28,000 members including charities, care homes, hospices, GPs, funeral directors and legal and financial organisations.

?By following these five tips for each day of the Twixtmas break you can be a better prepared for he inevitable to ensure your wishes are met and you loo after your loved ones.? said a spokesman for the Twixtmas campaign.

The ?University of Twixtmas? is a new initiative launched by the Twixtmas campign which aims to encourage everyone to do 5 socially good things during the 5 days of Twixtmas between Christmas and New Year holidays.

How deadly would chemical weapons in Syria be?

Concerns that the Syrian regime would use chemical weapons are putting the spotlight on these weapons of mass destruction.

By Tom A. Peter,?Correspondent / December 6, 2012

A view of damages on an empty street in the Aleppo district of Salaheddine, Syria, Dec. 5. Serious concerns have been raised about the Syrian regime using chemical weapons.

Aref Hretani/Reuters

Enlarge

Serious concerns have been raised about chemical weapons in Syria as unnamed US officials on Wednesday told NBC News that Syrian forces have loaded sarin, a deadly nerve gas, into bombs that can be dropped by planes.

The officials said the bombs had not been loaded onto planes and there was not yet a decision from Syria's leader to use them.

President Obama has said the use of chemical weapons in Syria is a ?red line? that would draw the US into the war. Embattled Syrian President Bashar al-Assad has denied that he?s planning to use them, unless international forces intervene. And Syrian officials have called recent accusations a ?pretext for intervention.?

The international community is now debating if and how to respond to this latest development.

As the situation unfolds, for many unfamiliar with sarin gas there may be some question as to what it is and just how deadly it can be. Though it?s classified as a weapon of mass destruction and is extremely lethal, it is not in the same league as nuclear weapons.

?Chemical weapons are not nuclear weapons. In order to produce a lot of damage they have to be distributed very efficiently. The problem with them is that they can be very deadly and efficient if used in population centers and their effects are indiscriminate,? says Daryl Kimball, executive director of the Arms Control Association.

?The explosion of a single chemical shell would not necessarily be a catastrophe if it went off accidentally at one of these storage sites, but the deliberate use of one chemical shell in a population center could be very deadly,? adds Mr. Kimball.

Sarin is a colorless and odorless nerve agent that can be attached to missiles and artillery rounds and is primarily lethal when inhaled but can also penetrate skin and clothing.

It evaporates quickly, though under the right conditions it can linger for up to five days. As a result, a sarin attack requires little clean up and areas affected by sarin can be quickly reoccupied, making it a desirable weapon for military units looking to advance without destroying infrastructure and equipment.

It was first developed in Germany in 1938, but there was no known use of it as a weapon, until 1988 when Iraq used it against the Kurdish town of Halabja. The Iraqi military is also believed to have used sarin against Iran during the war between the two countries that spanned from 1980 to 1988.

Most recently, it was used by the Japanese group Aum Shinrikyo which manufactured their own form of impure sarin gas and released it on the Tokyo subway in 1995. The attack killed 12 and injured at least 5,500 people.

It?s unclear exactly how much damage would be caused were Syrian jets to drop bombs filled with sarin gas on an apartment block or populated area, but experts say the attack would likely be lethal and devastating, creating a major impact.

    Startup Professionals Musings: Business Innovation Requires ...

    vg-trimbleMost people think innovation is all about ideas, when in fact it is more about delivery, people, and process. Entrepreneurs looking to innovate need to understand the execution challenge if they expect their startup to carve out a profitable niche in the marketplace, and keep innovating to build and maintain a sustainable competitive advantage.

    Everyone thinks they know how to make innovation happen, but I can?t find much real research on the subject. At the same time, myths about innovation are commonplace in business. Vijay Govindarajan and Chris Trimble, in their book ?The Other Side of Innovation: Solving the Execution Challenge? have done the best recent research I have seen on this subject.

    They take you step-by-step through the innovation execution process, in the context the ten most common myths about innovation, which I think makes their approach particularly instructive:

    1. Innovation is all about ideas. While it is true that you can?t get started without an idea, the importance of the Big Hunt is vastly overrated. Ideas are only beginnings. Without the necessary focus, discipline, and resources on execution, nothing happens.

    2. A great leader never fails at innovation. When in comes to innovation, there is nothing simple about execution. The inherent conflicts between innovation and ongoing operations are simply too fundamental and too powerful for one person to tackle alone.

    3. Effective innovation leaders are subversives fighting the system. Effective innovation leaders are not necessarily the biggest risk takers, mavericks, and rebels. The primary virtue of an effective innovation leader is humility. What you want is integration with real world operations, not an undisciplined and chaotic mess.

    4. Everyone can be an innovator. Ideation is everyone?s job, as are small improvements in each employee?s direct sphere of responsibility. Yet most team members don?t have the bandwidth or interest to do their existing job, and well as address major innovations.

    5. Real innovation happens bottoms-up. Innovation initiatives of any appreciable scale require a formal, intentional resource commitment. That requires the focus and resources from top executives to sustain, even initiate, relevant efforts.

    6. Innovation can be embedded inside an established organization. Some forms of innovation can be imbedded, like continuous product improvement, but discontinuous innovation is basically incompatible with ongoing operations.

    7. Initiating innovation requires wholesale organizational change. Innovation requires only targeted change. The first principle is to do no harm to existing operations. A common approach that works is to use dedicated teams to structure innovative efforts.

    8. Innovation can only happen in skunk works. Innovation should not be isolated from ongoing operations. There must be engagement between the two. Nearly every worthwhile innovation initiative needs to leverage existing assets and capabilities.

    9. Innovation is unmanageable chaos. Unfortunately, best practices for generating ideas have almost nothing to do with best practices for moving them forward. Innovation must be closely and carefully managed, during the 99% of the journey that is execution.

    10. Only startups can innovate. Luckily for entrepreneurs, many large companies are convinced that they must leave innovation to startups. Yet research suggests that many of the world?s biggest problems can only be solved by large, established corporations.

    Everyone agrees that the goal of innovation is positive change, to make someone or something better. Entrepreneurs need it to start, and established companies need it to survive. The front end of innovation, or ?ideating? is the energizing and glamorous part. Execution seems like behind-the-scenes dirty work. But without the reality of execution, big ideas go nowhere, even in startups.

    Reservoirs 'can affect rainfall'

    Researchers say that large man-made reservoirs can increase the intensity of rainfall and could affect flood defences.

    The scientists found that rain patterns around bodies of water in Chile were much higher than in similar areas without them.

    This "lake effect" could overwhelm flood defences which are often built without taking it into account.

    The study has been accepted for publication in the journal Hydrology.

    Stormy edge

    Previous research in this field has focused on the impact of dams on local climates. There is evidence that standing bodies like reservoirs and lakes can alter rain patterns by increasing the amount of water that evaporates.

    Continue reading the main story

    "The bigger the water body, the greater the effect?

    End Quote Dr Pablo Garcia-Chevesich University of Arizona

    Some experts believe that you also get circulating air patterns in the atmosphere above the boundary between the water and the land and this can initiate thunderstorms and showers.

    The impact can be significant. One study showed that extreme precipitation increased by 4% per year after dams were built.

    In this latest work, researchers from the University of Talca, Chile, examined data from 50 rain gauges near reservoirs in different parts of the country.

    Chile has a large variety of climates ranging from areas that get 0mm of annual rainfall to places that get more that 4,500mm. The scientists found that the most intense rainfall was measured at weather stations located near water bodies, especially in drier climates.

    One of the authors, Dr Pablo Garcia-Chevesich from the University of Arizona told BBC News that the work had important implications for flood defences.

    "If you install a water reservoir that will change things totally and that will lead to flooding," he said.

    "Engineers get fired when there's flooding because they didn't do a good design, but in reality they did good work but someone else installed a water reservoir and the climate changed."

    "The bigger the water body, the greater the effect."

    Dr Garcia-Chevesich said this area of research was controversial because changing the design of flood defences was very expensive.

    Other scientists took a more measured view of the study.

    Dr Faisal Hossain, from Tennessee Technological University, said the Chilean study was purely observational and that while the lake effect changed rainfall patterns, the jury was still out on whether it increased or decreased the amounts.

    However, he said that he was hoping to bring the research to the attention of dam builders around the world.

    "We have modified the weather patterns in such a way that we didn't anticipate before building these reservoirs, and yes in the global context it might have serious ramifications," he said.

    Prof Richard Harding from the UK Centre for Ecology and Hydrology (CEH) said several studies had now pointed to the impact of reservoirs particularly in dry areas.

    "The physics says that it will happen, but I'm struggling a little to know how big an impact it is, and quite whether it is strong enough to change the design of flood defences," he said.

    Dr Harding suggested that the new study might provide ammunition for those who oppose the building of large-scale new reservoirs.

    The authors argue that they want engineers and designers to take this new work into account in planning new flood barriers.

    "In the US, they are very rigorous about taking climate change into account when talking about storm water management design," said Dr Garcia-Chevesich, "but this is new and should be taken into account too."

    (AP) ? Russian investigators on Friday accused a prominent opposition leader of fraud and money-laundering, intensifying legal pressure on the anti-Kremlin protest movement as it prepares to hold its next big demonstration this weekend.

    Investigators said they suspect Alexei Navalny and his brother Oleg of defrauding a transportation company of 55 million rubles ($1.8 million) by overcharging it for postal services. Navalny wrote on Twitter that the accusations were "utter nonsense" and suggested they were aimed at targeting his family in reprisal for his efforts to mobilize opposition to President Vladimir Putin.

    A 36-year-old charismatic lawyer, Navalny first made his name exposing corruption in state-controlled companies. He then spearheaded a series of street rallies in Moscow that drew up to 100,000 people before last March's vote that handed Putin a third presidential term.

    Navalny's personal assistant, lawyer and brother all told Russian media they had learned of the charges through news reports and were unaware of any summons for questioning.

    Brother Oleg Navalny's office was searched on Friday and so were the premises of the firm owned by Navalny's parents.

    Navalny was charged in July with stealing 16 million rubles (about $500,000) in assets from a state timber company, threatening him with a 10-year prison sentence. Navalny has called the timber charges "absurd" and "shameless."

    The Russian opposition is gearing up for another major demonstration on Saturday, marking roughly a year since the mass anti-Putin protests began. The Moscow city government has refused to authorize the opposition rally, so it is likely to be dispersed by police.

    Navalny's mother, Lyudmila Navalnaya, on Friday accused authorities of putting pressure on her son. She told the Ekho Moskvy radio station that the investigators' announcement aimed to "blackmail my son through his family, to keep him away from that march, to make him stop his political activities."

    She said the entire family stands by Navalny and his work.

    Investigators have accused several other opposition figures of crimes in the buildup to the protest. State-linked media released transcripts and audio recordings Thursday that the federal Investigative Committee said proved protest leaders, including prominent left-wing activist Sergei Udaltsov, had followed the orders of Georgian officials intent on overthrowing the Russian government.
