MAY 26, 2023 Recently, Jonathan Cook published a piece in Consortium News defending Glenn Greenwald and Russell Brand from claims that the two have been pandering to the far right by appearing on the now former Tucker Carlson Tonight program on Fox News and other right-wing media outlets. Anyway, the following month, Greenwald said this: "I think people have forgotten just how radical Trump's administration could have been if he had followed through on the populist politics of those advising him. But that was what Trump ran on and that was the plan " It is touching to think that Greenwald really believes that the economic populist noises emanating from Trump's 2016 campaign were really "the plan" for his administration- until Jared Kushner proved better at factional infighting that Steve Bannon.

Direct geological information in Antarctica is limited to ice free regions along the coast, high mountain ranges, or isolated nunataks. Therefore, indirect methods are required to reveal subglacial geology and heterogeneities in crustal properties, which are critical steps toward interpreting geological history. We present a 3D crustal model of density and susceptibility distribution in the Wilkes Subglacial Basin (WSB) and the Transantarctic Mountains (TAM) based on joint inversion of airborne gravity and magnetic data. The applied “variation of information” technique enforces a coupling between inferred susceptibility and density, relating these quantities to the same gravity and magnetic sources to give an enhanced inversion result. Our model reveals a large body located in the interior of the WSB interpreted as a batholithic intrusive structure, as well as a linear dense body at the margin of the Terre Adélie Craton. Density and susceptibility relationships are used to inform the interpretation of petrophysical properties and the reconstruction of the origin of those crustal bodies. The petrophysical relationship indicates that the postulated batholitic intrusion is granitic, but independent from the Granite Harbor Igneous Complex described previously in the TAM area. Emplacement of a large volume of intrusive granites can potentially elevate local geothermal heat flow significantly. Finally, we present a new conceptual tectonic model based on the inversion results, which includes development of a passive continental margin with seaward dipping basalt horizons and magmatic underplating followed by two distinct intrusive events associated with the protracted Ross Orogen. Most rocks in Antarctica are hidden beneath a thick ice sheet. Therefore, indirect techniques are required to reveal rock provinces within Earth's crust below the ice. Rocks simultaneously influence the gravity and magnetic fields through their physical properties (density and susceptibility). Here we use both the gravity and magnetic fields to reveal rock provinces beneath the ice and use the relationship between density and susceptibility of the rocks to interpret the distribution of granitic rocks of the Transantarctic Mountains and the Wilkes Subglacial Basin region in East Antarctica. Granitic rocks can lead to elevated heat flow due to radiogenic decay of minerals within the rock and thus influence the overlying ice sheet. Based on our subsurface model of rock provinces we speculate on the tectonic evolution of the region.

If there is a significant adoption of hydrogen in Australia as an energy carrier, it will be necessary to have storage options to buffer the fluctuations in supply and demand, both for domestic use and for export. For large-scale storage in a single location, underground hydrogen storage (UHS) is the preferred option for reasons of both cost and safety. The search for suitable sites for UHS will depend on the proximity to potential hydrogen generation, ports, and processing infrastructure, as well as CO2 storage options for blue hydrogen. Although UHS in salt caverns is an established technology, most of the suitable salt deposits in Australia (in the Canning Basin in WA, the Adavale Basin in Qld, and the Amadeus Basin in the NT) are not always well-located for production and transport. Depleted gas fields have been used previously for storage of hydrogen-rich gas mixtures as well as natural gas storage and appear to be the most promising and widely available UHS option in Australia. There appears to be sufficient storage capacity in depleted gas fields in most of the geographic areas with hydrogen production potential. However, there are still technical challenges to be addressed, such as the extent of possible contamination of the stored hydrogen with residual hydrocarbons, and the possible effects of geochemical reactions and microbial processes.

ABSTRACTTerrence Malick’s A Hidden Life(2019) not only tells the story of Franz Jägerstätter but also depicts Malick’s deeply Catholic understanding of art and the artist’s vocation, an understanding that portrays art, and in particular art that seeks to witness to the truth Jesus Christ embodies, as a kind of costly obedience. The author explores Malick’s Catholic vision of art and its implications for Pentecostal ministry.

Performance measurements which focus on processes rather than solely on financial aspects can provide an effective strategy to control business operations. This enables companies to achieve their goals by concentrating on relevant processes which will ensure success and improve performance. It also provides a means for management to communicate its goals to all organizational levels and encourage employee support for the comapany's objectives., Traditional measures as applied to manufacturing, for example, are helpful in understanding performance but they may not be appropriate for use throughout the organization. Experience shows that inappropriate measures prompt [...]

The legal position of mental health patients is often unclear because the majority are not sectioned and therefore not covered by legislation covering their confinement and treatment. Nurses have a right to use force when dealing with a patient trying to leave premises when treatment is taking place. Medical officers must be on hand when treatment of a non-consensual nature is being performed on a mental health patient who has not been sectioned.

It is essential for all nurses to have a basic understanding of the laws which govern the treatment of mental health patients in the UK. Sectioning of a mental patient may only be permitted if the patient falls into one of four mental disorder categories. The Mental Health Act allows patients to be committed to 28 days sectioning during which time assessments are made by trained psychiatrists and doctors. Relatives of sectioned patients are allowed rights under the Act, relating to discharge and application for treatment.

Professional negligence in nursing means that there is a duty of care but the standard of care given falls below that which was expected and, in doing so, the nurse must realise that the action would cause foreseeable damage to the patient. Simply being careless or incompetent does not mean the damage was foreseeable. Damage can relate to property as well as the person. Negligence cases can be defended by claiming a lack of resources, such as time, but good patient records must be available to justify this. A nurse in this situation should write to senior management explaining their argument.

Nurses have a duty to ensure that information about patients remains confidential and they can only disclose it if they have the patient's permission, or if it is required by law, or it is in the public interest. Failure to maintain such confidential information may result in being struck off the professional register, having to pay compensation or dismissal. Information about terrorism has to be given to the police, as does anything which may help to find a driver involved in a traffic accident. Nurses who are unsure about what to do should get advice.

The reverse sural artery flap is a distally based fasciocutaneous or adipofascial flap used for wound coverage of the distal one-third of the lower extremity, ankle, and posterior heel. The flap harvest can be performed without sacrificing major arteries of the lower extremity. It can be elevated and mobilized with relative ease and a short operative time. It provides a good alternative to free tissue transfer in complex lower-extremity wounds with exposed bone, tendon, or hardware. The surgeon must be familiar with the management of venous congestion to improve the success of the flap.
