In a previous article I provided some general advice on how to maximise the usefulness of supervised learning events (SLEs) and concluded the piece with the intention to write further articles that focus on the indivudal tools. The RPS Post-registration Foundation Curriculum now has three observational SLE tools for assessing a pharmacist’s clinical practice: Acute Care Assessment Tool (ACAT) for observing several patient encounters over a continuous period of practice

Hello hello! Happy end of the week my friends!! I made a yummy casarecce bolognese this week and one of my friends asked me what the difference is between a ragù and a bolognese? I felt like I had a “tip of the iceberg” level of understanding, but not as in-depth as I’d have liked. So, if you’re still reading this because you’re also rather interested…let’s dive in. The way I like to see it (based on various different articles, blogs, and Italian’s opinions) is that ragù is a meat-based sauce with traces of tomato.

I avoided horror movies for years growing up. As a kid I’d nervously avert my eyes during theatrical trailers for hauntings and exorcisms, convinced the events of the full-length features were depraved beyond my wildest imaginings. And yet some part of me would mentally bookmark these films for later all the same, a quiet hope that I might one day be a bit braver. Or, you know, more confident that Samara was not gonna crawl out of my TV screen.

By coincidence - as this post had stalled since Monday - Spotify has published its financial result for Q3 2021 and it revealed it now has 172m global Premium subscribers. This was up 19% YoY and up by 4% (+7m) QOQ. Spotify’s Premium subscriber growth translated into Premium revenue of €2.178 billion ($2.52bn at current exchange rates) in Q3, which was up by 6% on the €2.056 billion ($2.38bn) generated in the prior quarter (Q2 2021).

Movies: Creedence Clearwater Revival: The Golden Era, The Tragedy Of Creedence Clearwater Revival Today we look at a “whatever happened to” story: Creedence Clearwater Revival. They had mega-hits in the 60’s and 70’s, and then seemingly disappeared. (Actually, John Fogerty is still performing as himself, doing his own songs, but not as Creedence Clearw… ncG1vNJzZmiZnJeys8DCqKmybWBjwLau0q2YnKNemLyue89orqGZpJrDpr6MoZipqJWjsqV506hknKqVmrGmusKe

My friend Jack Shafer phoned this morning to warn me that nobody knows anymore who Sammy Glick is. In my latest New Republic column I express disappointment that J.D. Vance, author of Hillbilly Elegy, has turned into “an Appalachian Sammy Glick,” a kicker that, in fact, my young-ish editor there made a point of admiring when he sent the readback. But Shafer appears mostly to be correct. Jonah Blank, a friend whom I’ve always considered more learned than myself, confessed on Twitter that “I had to Google ‘Sammy Glick.

Conference realignment is seemingly never going away in college football and it has become a topic of constant conversation. Due to this uncertainty, we started to wonder what happened to conferences in college football’s past and how they fell out of the picture. We will take a brief tour of some defunct/renamed conferences, explore their members, give… ncG1vNJzZmirmZi4sL%2FCqKSmoaSpsqZ60q6ZrKyRmLhvr86mZqlnp52utbHVnqlmoJGlvaa6xJ1kraddqbWqv4ycpqeelaeyr6%2FEZp1rcQ%3D%3D

Cannot EXPLAIN how much I enjoyed this and eagerly clicked on every link - this may be the most ‘influenced’ I’ve ever been. Please follow up with so many more details, on the fat sisters and their traits (and crucially their sibling relationship), other packing reflections and wins/fails, and any other bits. Had a solid lol at Caroline using the to go cup as a plant pot, especially when I saw they cost about £40 😂😂😂😂😂

Welcome back to the Ethical Reckoner, and happy new year! Tech news slowed but didn’t stop over the holidays, so in this Weekly Reckoning, we cover Substack’s Nazi problem, some AI-related court cases (one dramatic, one hilarious), and what may be the first AI actor on TV. Then, I muse on how crypto is basically MLM, but for dudes.  This slightly delayed WR is brought to you by: plumbing crises! wet-dry vacs!
