This is a Photo Story about the Portsmouth Literary Quiz of 28 January 2016. It was held at Fratton Park for Year 7s and 8s of Portsmouth. Featured authors were Ali Sparkes (Carjacked), Jamie Thomson (Dark Lord: Teenage Years), Jeff Norton (Metawars) and me, Candy Gourlay (Shine). Our books were part of the quiz -- hilariously we were not very good at answering multiple choice questions about our own books! Much fun was had by all - congratulations to the amazing school children who participated. Thanks to Peter Bone, School Library Service Manager of Portsmouth, Colin Telford of the Hayling Island Bookshop, and the teachers and librarians who made the day work like clockwork! http://www.candygourlay.com/2016/03/portsmouth-lit-quiz-2016.html Photos by Candy Gourlay (unless otherwise indicated)

This document outlines ideas for a short film called "Walton Hill" including:
1) A multi-stranded plot involving adultery, conflict, lies, drugs and murder centered around a love triangle.
2) A parody of the TV show "The Great British Bake Off" where a woman makes a cake using the film's themes as ingredients and shows them in flashbacks.
3) The characters involved including Lizzie at the center of the love triangle, Lucas who uses drugs and wants help, and Dan who is involved in an affair and the love triangle.
The reflection indicates they will go with the bake off parody idea to show the themes in a sinister way through flashbacks inMind Map

This document outlines a plot for a multi-stranded narrative that explores the themes of adultery, conflict, lies, drugs, and murder. It considers using a love triangle as the central story and parodying the TV show "The Great British Bake Off" by having a woman make a cake with the themes as ingredients and showing the themes in flashbacks. It also considers recreating the trailer format of the TV show "EastEnders" but decides a bake off parody would be more original. It introduces five central characters involved in the different storylines.Lit! Quiz @ Mount Carmel College

The document provides a discussion guide for the book "Tall Story" by Candy Gourlay. It introduces the main characters of Bernardo, who grows up in the Philippines and suffers from gigantism, and his sister Andi, who is short but talented at basketball. It explores their cultural differences growing up in the Philippines and London, respectively, and how that influences them. It prompts questions about how people might react to someone different like Bernardo and how the cultural differences impact their relationship. The story alternates perspectives between Bernardo and Andi and incorporates Filipino legends. It recommends some other books with similar themes of being different.Thinking Outside the Book: Great Ideas for book-based teaching

This was my final project for Graphic Novel 1, taught by Emily Haworth Booth at the Prince's Drawing School. I wanted to tell the story of how I met my husband during the 1986 People Power Revolution but how memory (and my excitable storytelling) has added a lot of colour to the story. By story I mean the part where I met my husband. The revolution itself was pretty much as exciting as it sounds. This is my first completed comic story (thought I've done a lot of strip comics before). Storytelling through sequential art is a fantastic challenge. I loved it.What if there was a Netflix for Books?

Every year the Society of Chldren's Book Writers and Illustrators in the British Isles stages a panel focused on gauging the State of the Nation - the children's book industry. This year I was honoured to compere the panel at our yearly conference in Winchester.
It seems the Children's Book Nation has become a world of huge commercial debuts. But are we kidding ourselves? Will publishers continue to support the authors if the books do not succeed as wildly as they hope? The bottom line features largely in decision making - no longer can an author or artist expect nurturing from their publishers and editors, in the name of enriching literature and culture. And this is the year libraries and booksellers are under siege as never before. The dominance of Amazon threatens the structures that hold up our book culture. What to do? What does the future hold?

A photo report on the SLA School Librarian of the Year Award Ceremony at Dexter House, Tower Hill, London, 1 October 2012. The award was won by Adam Lancaster of Monk's Walk School in Welwyn Garden City.
Also awarded was the School Library Design Award, on its second year. Winner was The Duston School in Northampton. The school library, known as "The Hub" was praised by the judges for giving students "ownership of their own space and their own place. Funky furnishings, a bold colour scheme, creative space planning, natural and artificial lighting, effective acoustics and ever changing, motivating signage and graphics make The Hub a destination like no other."
Kevin Crossley Holland, author and chair of the SLA, in praising the finalists for the awards said: "Make no mistake about it! School libraries and school librarians are under real pressure political apathy, cuts in their budgets, threats of redundancy, status within their schools. But all over the country, individual librarians are doing imaginative and valiant and, frankly, quite crucial work, inspiring a love of reading within their schools and communities. Theyre not only custodians of the storyhoard, the river of poems and the building blocks of information but brokers of the relationship between books as physical artefacts and the Digital Age. Now, the very best of them have been shortlisted to be the SLA School Librarian of the Year. Its an award that matters, and it should be recognised by each and every one of us.

Blind Spots in AI and Formulation Science Knowledge Pyramid (Updated Perspect...Ajaz Hussain
油
This presentation delves into the systemic blind spots within pharmaceutical science and regulatory systems, emphasizing the significance of "inactive ingredients" and their influence on therapeutic equivalence. These blind spots, indicative of normalized systemic failures, go beyond mere chance occurrences and are ingrained deeply enough to compromise decision-making processes and erode trust.
Historical instances like the 1938 FD&C Act and the Generic Drug Scandals underscore how crisis-triggered reforms often fail to address the fundamental issues, perpetuating inefficiencies and hazards.
The narrative advocates a shift from reactive crisis management to proactive, adaptable systems prioritizing continuous enhancement. Key hurdles involve challenging outdated assumptions regarding bioavailability, inadequately funded research ventures, and the impact of vague language in regulatory frameworks.
The rise of large language models (LLMs) presents promising solutions, albeit with accompanying risks necessitating thorough validation and seamless integration.
Tackling these blind spots demands a holistic approach, embracing adaptive learning and a steadfast commitment to self-improvement. By nurturing curiosity, refining regulatory terminology, and judiciously harnessing new technologies, the pharmaceutical sector can progress towards better public health service delivery and ensure the safety, efficacy, and real-world impact of drug products.Mate, a short story by Kate Grenvile.pptx
