Pliegues y sellos

Glosario

Posteriormente, como nos han pedido, también subiremos ejemplos de técnicas malditas que se han empleado en el manga de Jujutsu Kaisen y buscaremos también algún ejemplo de los demonios que aparecen en Chainsaw Man, por si os sirve de guía e inspiración.

13:00 en México, Perú y Colombia

15:00 en Chile, Argentina y Venezuela

NORMATIVA DE RESERVAS

Antes de reservar, pedimos que por favor tengáis en cuenta la siguiente normativa, porque si algo se sale de ella la reserva no tendrá validez.

Pondremos un anuncio previo a la apertura de reservas. Hasta que ese anuncio no esté colgado, no podrán mandarse ningún tipo de reserva.

Se atenderán por orden de llegada. No sabemos si vamos a estar saturados o si el flujo de gente será más llevadero, pero intentaremos dar notificación del listado lo más pronto posible.

Únicamente puede reservarse PB, porque no hay cupos de ningún tipo para oficios, técnicas y derivados.

Le décès d'environ 500 personnes chaque semaine causé par des retards dans les soins d'urgence n'est "pas une chose à court terme", a déclaré un haut responsable de la santé britannique.Ian Higginson, le vice-président du Royal College of Emergency Medicine a mis en garde contre les tentatives de "discréditer" les chiffres estimant que jusqu'à 500 personnes meurent chaque semaine à cause des retards.Les données officielles ne seront publiées que plus tard ce mois-ci, mais l'organisation a déclaré qu'elle s'attendait à ce que décembre soit le pire mois jamais enregistré pour les temps d'attente dans les services d'accidents et d'urgence, conduisant à ce qu'elle a décrit comme des soins "dangereux et indignes".S'exprimant lundi sur l'émission Today de BBC Radio 4, Higginsonsa déclaré que les attentes "épouvantables" ne pouvaient pas être imputées à la grippe hivernale ou à Covid, car plus d'une douzaine de fiducies du NHS et de services d'ambulance ont déclaré des incidents critiques au cours de la période des fêtes.Il a déclaré: «Ce sont de vrais chiffres et je crains que nous n'entendions des tentatives de détourner et de manipuler ces données et de les discréditer. Je pense que si nous entendons cela, nous devons dire non - c'est de la pirouette. Ceci est un vrai problème. Ça se passe maintenant dans nos services d'urgence."Ce qu'on entend depuis quelques jours, c'est que les problèmes actuels sont tous dus au Covid ou qu'ils sont tous dus à la grippe, ou que c'est complexe, il ne faut pas sauter aux conclusions - tout ce genre de choses .« Si vous êtes en première ligne, vous savez qu'il s'agit d'un problème de longue date. Ce n'est pas une chose à court terme. Le genre de choses que nous voyons se produire chaque hiver, et cela semble toujours être une surprise pour le NHS. Ça s'aggrave chaque hiver.Higginson a déclaré qu'il y avait "de très bonnes preuves qui ont été accumulées au fil des décennies que les longues attentes dans les services d'urgence sont associées à de mauvais résultats pour les patients".Il a également cité des recherches évaluées par des pairs montrant que pour 82 patients retardés de plus de six heures, il y a un décès associé.En novembre, 37 837 patients ont attendu plus de 12 heures en A&E pour être admis dans un service hospitalier, selon les chiffres du NHS England.Il s'agit d'une augmentation de près de 355 % par rapport au mois de novembre précédent, où environ 10 646 patients ont attendu plus de 12 heures.Inscrivez-vous pour Première éditionNewsletter quotidienne gratuiteArchie Bland et Nimo Omer vous guident à travers les meilleures histoires et ce qu'elles signifient, gratuitement tous les matins de la semaine

El poder del perro

★★☆☆☆ Western fetichista en el que palpita una turbia homosexualidad y ante el cual quien esto escribe tiene constantemente la sensación de estar viendo una película de Paul Thomas Anderson y no de Jane Campion. El poder del perro es una película imperfecta. Excesivamente pausada en su desarrollo. Aceptablemente bien interpretada. Con ciertos elementos atractivos, que terminan diluyéndose en una…

Ghost in the Water (BBC, 1982)

"I'd hate to work underground. Wouldn't be a coal miner if they paid me."

"They would pay you."

"I know they would, it's just an expression!"

#Ghost in the water #horror tv #classic tv #Single play #Edward Chitham #Renny Rye #Geoffrey Case #Judith Allchurch #Ian Stevens #Jane Freeman #Dave Mitty #Joanne James #Hilary Mason #Paul Marks #Lynda Higginson #Paul Copley #Peter Brooks #Neville Barber #Ysanne Churchman #First shown on New Year's Eve 1982‚ this is a sort of Junior Ghost Story for Christmas. Well‚ that isn't entirely fair; although it was #Clearly aimed at a more family audience‚ with its young leads and tea time broadcast‚ in terms of production values and script this is #Right up there with the beeb's 70's anthology of Xmas based creepers. Aesthetically it belongs firmly to that 80s breed of richly coloured #But darkly filmed ghost stories that were thankfully shot on film rather than video (think Kneale's Woman in Black or Plater's The #Intercessor). But where those were moody‚ gothic period pieces‚ this takes the novel approach of blending the victorian ghost story element #With a very contemporary setting. It had been done before (HTV's The Georgian House springs to mind) but not with this skill and this care.#Case's script is a big reason this works so well; he really captures what feels like the genuine voices of two adolescents in the #Black Country in the 1980s. Allchurch and Stevens spend the film quietly bickering‚ trading in sarcasm or worrying what their peers will #Think of their budding friendship. It feels very real and very honest‚ in a charming‚ un condescending sort of way that can be hard to #Capture when writing younger characters. The actors (both leads were non professional youngsters) are the other great boon to the play.#Both give strong performances which leave a lot going on under the surface without the need for awkward exposition. A little gem‚ this one

MAIDSTONE STROKE GROUP

MAY NEWSLETTER 2022

STROKE VICTIMS' 2HR AMBO WAIT

STROKE patients face waits of up to two hours for ambulances in some parts of England. Leaked NHS data reveals that the average time for category 2 call-outs, which also include heart attacks, soared to 70 minutes this week, 02/04/22. That is almost four times the 18-minute target – but the Health Service Journal reports the wait stretched to a shocking two hours on some days in the South West. The reason is hospitals are busy and unable to discharge patients to social care that wards and A&E units are backed up. Dr Ian Higginson, of the Royal College of Emergency Medicine, said: “Emergency departments must have capacity to meet demand and constant flow into inpatient beds Patients suffer harm or die unnecessarily if they can't get an ambulance in time, when held in ambulances or treated in crowded departments.” The lastest NHS figures show a quarter of ambulances wait at least half an hour to off-load patients, while one in ten has to hang around for more than an hour. Health sources said social care delays also mean a growing number of hospital patients are well enough to go home but cannot because no help is available. The RCEM also claimed patients should not be treated in tents or corridors as it is an “awful experience associated with harm and death”. Professor Stephen Powis, NHS medical director, said: “Staff remain under pressure as they deal with high numbers of patients alongside a spike in staff absences due to Coved. “Yet they are working hard to deliver as much routine care as possible as well as rolling out the NHS spring booster.”

VASCULAR CARE SET TO MOVE IN SHAKE-UP

Planned changes to vascular care in Kent would mean patients having to travel to Canterbury for some treatments. Currently, services are arranged at two centres-Kent and Canterbury Hospital (K&C), and one for west Kent based at Medway Maritime Hospital, in Gillingham. A consultation has now launched to deliver the care at a single centre at K&C. Health chiefs say this will allow the

vascular teams from both areas to work together as one team at a 'centre of excellence'. It would see all specialist operations and treatments requiring overnight stays taking place at the Canterbury hospital, although the majority of care, such as clinics and investigations, would still be held locally.

A.I. SPOTS HEART WOES IN 20 SECS

A NEW computer tool can spot heart disease in just 20 seconds – nearly 40 times faster than experienced medics. It uses artificial intelligence to read complex MRI scans in record time, and does so more accurately than humans. Doctors are alerted to potential heart problems before the patient is even out of the scanner. Until now, specialists would spend an average of 13 minutes examining final MRI images. With 120,000 cardiac scans conducted each year, the British Heart Foundation claims the “revolutionary” tool will free up medics to help tackle backlogs. It was developed by researchers at University College London and Barts Heart Centre. Their leader, Dr Rhodri Davis, said: “It replaces the need for a doctor to spend countless hours analysing scans.” The tool is now being rolled out in London, with plans to expand its use. The BHF funded the study, published in the Journal of Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance.

WONDER DRUG TO BEAT BUG helps the weakest

A JAB to fight off Coved is lined up for 500,000 people with weak immune systems. The antibody cocktail works in patients who fail to respond to an inoculation. In trials, Evusheld gave 83 per cent protection over six months. It has now been approved for use by the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency. The news comes as Coved infections rocketed to record 258,155 cases a day. Prof Tim Spector, who runs the Zoe Coved Study app, said: “This pandemic is not over.” Half a million, people including blood cancer and transplant patients, have a weak immune system. Evusheld is a combination of two antibodies given as separate shots. Prof Penny Ward, of King's College London, said: “It is a good day for the immune-compromised.” Ministers will wait for fresh data before deciding on a rollout. Article from daily paper.

ARTHRITIS PILL CUTS FATEL RISK OF COVID

AN arthritis drug slashes the risk of Coved death by a fifth in hospitalised patients, trials reveal. Anti-inflammatory pill baricitinib is the fourth therapy shown to cut mortality in seriously ill coronavirus victims. Its life-saving effects are in addition to the benefits of other proven pandemic treatments such as steroid dexamethasone. Taken in combination, they can cut the risk virus death by well over a half, say experts at Oxford University. More than 8,000 Coved patients were given baricitinib or a dummy pill alongside normal care. Those given baricitinib for ten days were 20 per cent less likely to die. A ten-day course costs £250. Health Secretary Sajid Javid said: “This is promising news and shows how the UK leads the world in identifying life-saving treatments.”

BOROUGH IS RATED COUNTY'S WORST FOR DISABILITY GRANTS

A report reveals Maidstone has one of the poorest records when it comes to disability assessment, with people waiting nearly two years to receive adapatations to their homes. Many disabled residents across the borough are having to wait months just to be assessed for an adaptation to their home, and years to get the work done, says the Bureau of Investigative Journalism report. A Disabled Facilities Grant (DFG) is administered by local authorities to fund changes to the home of disabled and older people, which are often key to their quality of life. The (DFG) can be used to pay for works such as widening door-ways and inserting ramps for wheelchair access, or installing a suitable heating system, providing access to bathroom facilities by means of a stair lift or a new ground floor bathroom. Maidstone ranks second in England for those waiting the longest for the whole process to be completed, with an average time of 22 months. The Bureau's findings show huge variations across the UK, with some work completed in less than a year while others wait much longer. The worst affected is Southend in Essex, where the time taken from first contact with the council to adaptation completion averages more than two years. In Sevenoaks, its 12 months; Tonbridge and Malling 11 months and Tunbridge Wells without any recorded delays. Sophie Fournel, chief executive officer of Disability Assist in Maidstone isn't shocked by new findings. She said: “It can take a very long

time to get homes adapted so that they are more usable. “We have a lot of people who are living in inappropriate housing, and the wait on the housing register for social housing which is accessible-like bungalows-is incredibly long. She added: “The DFG can be a very strenuous and complicated process. “Mentally it can be very devastating on people, where they become really frustrated and unable to move forward with their lives.” Sophie, who has multiple scierosis, applied for a grant for a downstairs toilet when she moved to Kent in January 2011, but gave up the process. According to charity Scope, there are more than 250,000 residents in Kent with a health problem or disability which limits their day-to-day activties. The Department for Levelling up, Housing and Communities said it had provided councils with over £4 billion to deliver home adaptations since 2010.

Buenas tardes chicos, vengo a pediros de nuevo consejo xd: Necesito un PB masculino que ronde los 30 años (entre los 28 y los 32 puede ser, o que al menos los aparente), que sea de ascendencia europea y de cabello oscuro, la idea con ese PB es hacerlo de origen francés en el personaje. Gracias de antemano *-*

Eso lo puedes ver perfectamente en los tags ya que va a ser un blanco de treinta años con el pelo oscuro. La verdad es que es muy muy común.

La mayoría de los de este tag, salvo los que busques en google y claramente te digan que son latinos o whatever encajan en esa descripción:

http://pb-seeker.tumblr.com/tagged/FCH:Male:30s:BlackHair

Desde actores en plan: Ian Harding o Kevin Zegers, hasta modelos como Simon Nessman. La verdad es que las posibilidades son demasiado amplias.

Adam SennAlexis Petit Gaspard MenierGeorge BlagdenPierre NineyRobbie AmellTomas SkoloudikWill Higginson

Esperamos que nos digas si te ha servido alguna sugerencia, de lo contrario puedes volver para que busquemos más opciones. Los likes de todo aquel al que le guste, rebloguee o le de uso, serán agradecidos.

Wednesday round-up

This morning the justices have two cases on their telephonic-argument agenda. First up is in Little Sisters of the Poor Saints Peter and Paul Home v. Pennsylvania, a challenge to the government’s expansion of the “conscience exemption” to the Affordable Care Act’s birth-control mandate. Amy Howe previewed the case for this blog, in a post that first appeared at Howe on the Court. Kayla Anderson and Prachee Sawant have a preview at Cornell Law School’s Legal Information Institute. At NPR, Nina Totenberg writes that “[t]he birth-control wars return to the Supreme Court Wednesday, and it is likely that the five-justice conservative majority will make it more difficult for women to get birth control if they work for religiously affiliated institutions like hospitals, charities and universities.” For USA Today, Richard Wolf reports that “[t]he justices’ willingness to hear a dispute the high court has considered twice before probably bodes well for the Obamacare provision’s challengers.” Additional coverage comes from Kevin Daley at The Washington Free Beacon and Steven Mazie at The Economist’s Espresso blog.

Today’s second argument is in Barr v. American Association of Political Consultants, a First Amendment challenge to a federal law banning robocalls. Amanda Shanor had this blog’s preview. Angela Shin Wei Ting and Grant Shillington preview the case for Cornell. At Bloomberg Law, Jon Reid reports that the case asks “whether automatic phone calls for government debt collection should be exempt from an anti-robocall law,” and that “[b]usinesses are hopeful the court will invalidate the law’s exemption for the debt calls—and then strike down the entire anti-robocall statue as unconstitutional.”

Yesterday the justices heard argument in USAID v. Alliance for Open Society International, a First Amendment challenge to the enforcement against overseas groups of a requirement that recipients of federal funds to fight HIV/AIDS abroad have a policy opposing prostitution and sex trafficking. Amy Howe analyzes the argument for this blog, in a post that first appeared at Howe on the Court. Nina Totenberg covers that argument at NPR. At Fox News, Bill Mears and Ronn Blitzer report that “[i]n 2013, the Supreme Court said this requirement violates the First Amendment if applied to U.S.-based nongovernmental organizations, but the current case specifically deals with foreign affiliates of those organizations.” Richard Wolf reports for USA Today that “most justices appeared to side with nonprofit groups challenging a requirement that their foreign affiliates … must go on record opposing prostitution and sex trafficking,” although “Justices Samuel Alito and Brett Kavanaugh … expressed concern that freeing foreign entities from the pledge opposing prostitution and sex trafficking could have implications for other areas of U.S. foreign policy.”

Amy Howe reports for this blog, in a post that first appeared at Howe on the Court, that “Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg was treated [yesterday] afternoon at Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore for a benign gallbladder condition.” At AP, Mark Sherman reports that Ginsburg “plans to take part in the court’s arguments by telephone Wednesday, the Supreme Court said.”

Briefly:

Jessica Litman analyzes Monday’s argument in U.S. Patent and Trademark Office v. Booking.com, which asks whether the addition of “.com” to a generic term creates a protectable trademark, for this blog.

At the Cato Institute’s Cato on Liberty blog, Ilya Shapiro and Michael Collins urge the court to review Higginson v. Becerra, arguing that the voter-dilution provisions of California’s Voting Rights Act “violate the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment and go beyond the limits of what Supreme Court precedent allows in terms of the use of race in drawing election districts.”

At Vox, Ian Millhiser writes that “[n]ext week, the Supreme Court will hear three cases that could upend one of the most basic assumptions that the Court has maintained since the Nixon years — that the president of the United States is not above scrutiny or immune from investigation.”

We rely on our readers to send us links for our round-up. If you have or know of a recent (published in the last two or three days) article, post, podcast or op-ed relating to the Supreme Court that you’d like us to consider for inclusion in the round-up, please send it to roundup [at] scotusblog.com. Thank you!

The post Wednesday round-up appeared first on SCOTUSblog.
