Our friend, Susan, is celebrating the first anniversary of her event, YeastSpotting, today. Stop by and see all the glorious breads that have been made for the occasion.
No visit to Cape Cod would be complete without sampling Portuguese sweet bread. It was brought to the cape by the wives of Portuguese fisherman and the eggy, sweet bread quickly became a favorite of locals and visitors alike. Fortunately, the Portuguese established enclaves outside of Provincetown so the bread is also available to those who are not on vacation. Bob and I spent several decades on the east coast and did a lot exploring in ethnic communities of the area. One of our favorites was a stretch of sidewalk that twisted its way through several blocks of the Ironbound section of Newark, New Jersey. The area was an almost imperceptible blend of Italian and Portuguese families who refused to leave the area. Ferry Street was lined with restaurants and bakeries, some of which were truly wonderful. Bob and I would meet for lunch here several times a month. The area had an old world charm about it and I loved to market here. Round loaves of peasant bread with crackly crusts and soft crumb were stacked in bins next to discs of the the sweet bread we so enjoyed. We retired to an area in which the Portuguese population is minuscule, so I had to learn how to make the sweet bread or do without it. I used an old James Beard recipe as my starting point, but it's evolved over the years. My bread now contains lemon and blueberries and the traditional shot put has become a loaf. The loaf is easier to manage when there are only two people in the house. I slice and freeze the bread in slices that can be pulled from the freezer when they're needed. This bread makes wonderful toast and I like to keep some in the freezer for guest breakfasts and afternoon tea. The bread is easy to make and the marriage of lemon and blueberry takes an already lovely sweet bread to another level..
Lemon and Blueberry Sweet Bread
Ingredients:
5 teaspoons active dry yeast
1 cup + 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
1/2 cup warm water
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
1/2 cup warm milk
1 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest
4 large eggs, divided use
1 tablespoon salt
1 cups dried sweetened blueberries
4 to 4-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
Directions:
1) Place yeast, 1 teaspoons sugar and warm water in a large bowl. Let sit until foamy. Combine butter, warm milk, reserved cup sugar and lemon zest in a small bowl. Add to the yeast mixture and stir to combine. Add 3 eggs, lightly beaten. Whisk in salt. Add blueberries. Using your hands, knead in flour, a cup at a time, to make a soft dough. Turn onto a floured board and knead until dough is smooth and elastic, about 10 minutes. Shape into a ball. Place into a greased bowl, turning to coat surface. Cover with plastic wrap and allow to rise until doubled in bulk. This is a slow rising bread.
2) Punch down dough and divide into two pieces. If making round loaves shape into balls and place in two greased 9-inch cake pans. If making loaves, shape into loaves and place in two 8-1/2 X 4-1/2 X 2-1/2-inch bread pans. Cover with plastic wrap and allow to rise until doubles in bulk. Remember this is slow rising bread. While bread is rising, preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Beat reserved egg; glaze loaves with egg. Bake for 40 to 45 minutes, or until bread is a dark, shining color and sounds hollow when rapped. Cool on racks. Yield: 2 loaves.

I love this kind of bread, it's not too sweet. I also love the idea of freezing it until needed.

I haven't had Portuguese sweet bread in a long time.... yummm... so good!
Your loaf looks so good; I am picturing it toasted with melted butter.... Oh my! So delish and satisfying!

Love the lemon/blueberry combo! Also I enjoyed the history tour through Newark.

This sounds wonderful! I'm not much of a bread baker, but this sounds manageable. Thanks for the tip about freezing, there are only 2 of us also and I would just hate to have to eat it all in a day or so lol. Kathy

Ohhhhhhh, yummy. Anything with citrus [and blueberries] just has to be good, right? This looks and sounds fabulous.
I wanted to thank you for the link to the chocolate turtles too. Much, MUCH appreciated.

I do like this type of bread but alas, have never made it -- but love the idea of lemon and blueberry. Perhaps . . . we shall see.
I did make Hasselback potatoes -- they are wonderful!

Another beautiful blueberry recipe, Mary. With so many wonderful recipes I'll have to make sure my freezer is well stock for next winter.

ameixa seca said...
I´m Portuguese but i do not know this bread. Well, it's never too late to learn, right? :)
One thing i can asure you, portuguese bread is really great and all the other food we do :)
We have some difficulties to find blueberries in Portugal (seems strange he he), can i replace then for dried cranberries?
May 26, 2009 at 10:10 AM
Mary Bergfeld said...
Ameixa, a hearty welcome to One Perfect Bite. I do hope you'll try the bread. When it is made without lemon or blueberries it's exactly the same in flavor and texture as the bread made by the ancestors of Portuguese seamen on the Cape here in the U.S. You can make this with dried cranberries and orange zest and you will have a wonderful loaf. The shape is up to you. You spoke about Portuguese bread - we love that, too. It's not available in the town where we now live, but we were able to buy it on Ferry Street all those years ago.

I wish I wasn't so scared to bake bread - this looks amazing. I don't think I've ever had anything like it before. You make me want to try baking bread Mary.

Marta said...
I love sweet and enriched breads! Where I am from, there is a huge Portuguese population and they have traditionally been the bakers in the coutry, owning pretty much every single bakery in every single corner in the city. Their breads are irresistable and innundate the streets witht he sweet aromas coming from the oven. This lemony version with blueberries looks perfect to me :)

I've never tried this but it sounds delicious! I will have to give this recipe a try.

All I had to do was look at the beautiful browned crust of this bread to know it was Portuguese Sweet Bread. I grew up on this stuff and it's the best. You can see my version on my blog :)

I've never had that kind of bread and I've never heard of dried blueberries. I'll have to keep an eye out for them. I'm sure it is yummy.
May 26, 2009 at 12:59 PM

Mary, this looks delicious! One question though: do you soak the dried blueberries in water before you bake with them, so they don't turn too dry? Some recipes that use raisins or dried cranberries do that.
Thanks! -Christina

Hi Christina, welcome to One Perfect Bite. I use small packages of dried wild blueberries. Because they're vacuum sealed they are quite soft and it's not necessary to rehydrate them. If they were dry I would definitely soak before using. The one lovely aspect of using dried berries is they don't bleed the way fresh berries have a tendency to do.

Hi Mary,
Do you think this bread would work with frozen blueberries instead of dried? I just bought a ton of them and this bread would be a great excuse to use them.

NKP said...
Sounds delightful! I have never seen dried blueberries before.
May 26, 2009 at 7:55 PM
Mary Bergfeld said...
Laura, I just caught your question. My thought is perhaps with fresh berries. The problem with frozen berries is their moisture would water the bread as it rises. In either case some of the berries will bruise and bleed into the dough. Flavor will still be wonderful but the appearance of the bread will suffer. I know this is not what you want to hear - sorry :-(.

It looks exquisite! Like every bread I see lately, I want to make bread pudding from it, although I would turn down a piece toasted or even plain.

Portuguese sweetbread is a staple in my house - my boyfriend's family is Portuguese, and we live in Cambridge, MA... plenty of Portuguese bakeries around here!! I will definitely have to try making it at home. I just adore it!! Thank you!

Lemon and Blueberry-that sounds perfect to me. And I have a really soft spot for sweet breads. The recipe is added on my (much to long) "To bake list".

#DESCRIPTION
This program is designed to help you generate and send bug reports (and thank-you notes) about perl5 and the modules which ship with it.
In most cases, you can just run it interactively from a command line without any special arguments and follow the prompts.
If you have found a bug with a non-standard port (one that was not part of the standard distribution), a binary distribution, or a non-core module (such as Tk, DBI, etc), then please see the documentation that came with that distribution to determine the correct place to report bugs.
If you are unable to send your report using perlbug (most likely because your system doesn't have a way to send mail that perlbug recognizes), you may be able to use this tool to compose your report and save it to a file which you can then send to perlbug@perl.org using your regular mail client.
In extreme cases, perlbug may not work well enough on your system to guide you through composing a bug report. In those cases, you may be able to use perlbug -d to get system configuration information to include in a manually composed bug report to perlbug@perl.org.
When reporting a bug, please run through this checklist:
#What version of Perl you are running?
Type perl -v at the command line to find out.
#Are you running the latest released version of perl?
Look at http://www.perl.org/ to find out. If you are not using the latest released version, please try to replicate your bug on the latest stable release.
Note that reports about bugs in old versions of Perl, especially those which indicate you haven't also tested the current stable release of Perl, are likely to receive less attention from the volunteers who build and maintain Perl than reports about bugs in the current release.
This tool isn't appropriate for reporting bugs in any version prior to Perl 5.0.
#Are you sure what you have is a bug?
A significant number of the bug reports we get turn out to be documented features in Perl. Make sure the issue you've run into isn't intentional by glancing through the documentation that comes with the Perl distribution.
Given the sheer volume of Perl documentation, this isn't a trivial undertaking, but if you can point to documentation that suggests the behaviour you're seeing is wrong, your issue is likely to receive more attention. You may want to start with perldoc perltrap for pointers to common traps that new (and experienced) Perl programmers run into.
If you're unsure of the meaning of an error message you've run across, perldoc perldiag for an explanation. If the message isn't in perldiag, it probably isn't generated by Perl. You may have luck consulting your operating system documentation instead.
If you are on a non-UNIX platform perldoc perlport, as some features may be unimplemented or work differently.
You may be able to figure out what's going wrong using the Perl debugger. For information about how to use the debugger perldoc perldebug.
#Do you have a proper test case?
The easier it is to reproduce your bug, the more likely it will be fixed -- if nobody can duplicate your problem, it probably won't be addressed.
A good test case has most of these attributes: short, simple code; few dependencies on external commands, modules, or libraries; no platform-dependent code (unless it's a platform-specific bug); clear, simple documentation.
A good test case is almost always a good candidate to be included in Perl's test suite. If you have the time, consider writing your test case so that it can be easily included into the standard test suite.
#Have you included all relevant information?
Be sure to include the exact error messages, if any. "Perl gave an error" is not an exact error message.
If you get a core dump (or equivalent), you may use a debugger (dbx, gdb, etc) to produce a stack trace to include in the bug report.
NOTE: unless your Perl has been compiled with debug info (often -g), the stack trace is likely to be somewhat hard to use because it will most probably contain only the function names and not their arguments. If possible, recompile your Perl with debug info and reproduce the crash and the stack trace.
#Can you describe the bug in plain English?
The easier it is to understand a reproducible bug, the more likely it will be fixed. Any insight you can provide into the problem will help a great deal. In other words, try to analyze the problem (to the extent you can) and report your discoveries.
#Can you fix the bug yourself?
If so, that's great news; bug reports with patches are likely to receive significantly more attention and interest than those without patches. Please attach your patch to the report using the -p option. When sending a patch, create it using git format-patch if possible, though a unified diff created with diff -pu will do nearly as well.
Your patch may be returned with requests for changes, or requests for more detailed explanations about your fix.
Here are a few hints for creating high-quality patches:
Make sure the patch is not reversed (the first argument to diff is typically the original file, the second argument your changed file). Make sure you test your patch by applying it with git am or the patch program before you send it on its way. Try to follow the same style as the code you are trying to patch. Make sure your patch really does work (make test, if the thing you're patching is covered by Perl's test suite).
#Can you use perlbug to submit the report?
perlbug will, amongst other things, ensure your report includes crucial information about your version of perl. If perlbug is unable to mail your report after you have typed it in, you may have to compose the message yourself, add the output produced by perlbug -d and email it to perlbug@perl.org. If, for some reason, you cannot run perlbug at all on your system, be sure to include the entire output produced by running perl -V (note the uppercase V).
Whether you use perlbug or send the email manually, please make your Subject line informative. "a bug" is not informative. Neither is "perl crashes" nor is "HELP!!!". These don't help. A compact description of what's wrong is fine.
#Can you use perlbug to submit a thank-you note?
Yes, you can do this by either using the -T option, or by invoking the program as perlthanks. Thank-you notes are good. It makes people smile.
Having done your bit, please be prepared to wait, to be told the bug is in your code, or possibly to get no reply at all. The volunteers who maintain Perl are busy folks, so if your problem is an obvious bug in your own code, is difficult to understand or is a duplicate of an existing report, you may not receive a personal reply.
If it is important to you that your bug be fixed, do monitor the perl5-porters@perl.org mailing list (mailing lists are moderated, your message may take a while to show up) and the commit logs to development versions of Perl, and encourage the maintainers with kind words or offers of frosty beverages. (Please do be kind to the maintainers. Harassing or flaming them is likely to have the opposite effect of the one you want.)
Feel free to update the ticket about your bug on http://rt.perl.org if a new version of Perl is released and your bug is still present.
#OPTIONS
#-a
Address to send the report to. Defaults to perlbug@perl.org.
#-A
Don't send a bug received acknowledgement to the reply address. Generally it is only a sensible to use this option if you are a perl maintainer actively watching perl porters for your message to arrive.
#-b
Body of the report. If not included on the command line, or in a file with -f, you will get a chance to edit the message.
#-C
Don't send copy to administrator.
#-c
Address to send copy of report to. Defaults to the address of the local perl administrator (recorded when perl was built).
#-d
Data mode (the default if you redirect or pipe output). This prints out your configuration data, without mailing anything. You can use this with -v to get more complete data.
#-e
Editor to use.
#-f
File containing the body of the report. Use this to quickly send a prepared message.
#-F
File to output the results to instead of sending as an email. Useful particularly when running perlbug on a machine with no direct internet connection.
#-h
Prints a brief summary of the options.
#-ok
Report successful build on this system to perl porters. Forces -S and -C. Forces and supplies values for -s and -b. Only prompts for a return address if it cannot guess it (for use with make). Honors return address specified with -r. You can use this with -v to get more complete data. Only makes a report if this system is less than 60 days old.
#-okay
As -ok except it will report on older systems.
#-nok
Report unsuccessful build on this system. Forces -C. Forces and supplies a value for -s, then requires you to edit the report and say what went wrong. Alternatively, a prepared report may be supplied using -f. Only prompts for a return address if it cannot guess it (for use with make). Honors return address specified with -r. You can use this with -v to get more complete data. Only makes a report if this system is less than 60 days old.
#-nokay
As -nok except it will report on older systems.
#-p
The names of one or more patch files or other text attachments to be included with the report. Multiple files must be separated with commas.
#-r
Your return address. The program will ask you to confirm its default if you don't use this option.
#-S
Send without asking for confirmation.
#-s
Subject to include with the message. You will be prompted if you don't supply one on the command line.
#-t
Test mode. The target address defaults to perlbug-test@perl.org.
#-T
Send a thank-you note instead of a bug report.
#-v
Include verbose configuration data in the report.

Do you know autism affects male children four times more than female children? The characteristic feature of autism in children includes non-verbal and impaired verbal communication. In addition to this the autism in children creates imaginative social interaction and activity. Infantile autism in children develops at about 30 months of age. Autism in children is a condition in which they find it difficult to build normal relationships with others. This can easily be diagnosed by disturbances normal characteristic behaviors.
It has been found that autism in children is occurring at a rate of 4 in 10,000 children. Moreover, autism in children is considered a lifelong disease. The occurrence of the disease ranges from mild to severe. In mild form, the child with autism can live independently, whereas in severe form the autism requires medical supervision and support throughout his/her life.
The risk factors and causes of autism include viral infection. Viral infection, mainly rubella virus during the first term of pregnancy, may predispose the occurrence of autism in children. Genetic, traumatic and infectious factors are the physical bases considered to be the main culprits for the occurrence of autism in children. In early stages, it has been considered that the autism in children is mainly induced by the parents, but it is not true.
Autism in children can occur in two forms: Patients exhibit the symptoms of autism within the first few months of life, or the child would be apparently normal up to 18 to 24 months of age, and then the symptoms would occur suddenly.
The symptoms of autism in children include nonverbal and verbal communication skills, along with odd facial expressions and speech difficulties. The language used by the children in the autism is often immature, unimaginative and not concrete. The language will be stilted in nature. Keep in mind that all of these symptoms may not be present in all children with autism.
Children with autism can also be less aware of stimulus in the external environment. In some cases, they are unable to recognize their parents after the first few months of life. Autism in children can lead to toilet training problems. The autism in children can hamper the childs ability to smile and show emotion and can end with behavioral abnormalities, such as walking on tiptoe, tantrums, unpredictable behavior, strange postures, staring at hands, and rocking.
They may also prefer playing alone, remain aloof, and become segregated from other children. Autism in children may cause the affected child to become obsessed with one action or topic, and extreme confrontation to change of any kind. The children with autism may want to set a separate environment for themselves and also may establish their own behavioral patterns.

With multiple vaccines now releasing results, I thought it could be useful to have a place to discuss their approval, deployment, and effects on society. Here's a section from the BBC's article to set the tone I was thinking of:
Covid-19: Oxford University vaccine is highly effective
The vaccine is cheaper than other options and easier to distribute around the world.
www.bbc.co.uk
In the UK there are four million doses ready to go, with another 96 million to be delivered.
But nothing can happen until the vaccine has been approved by regulators who will assess the vaccine's safety, effectiveness, and that it is manufactured to high standard. This process will happen in the coming weeks.
However, the UK is ready to press the go button on an unprecedented mass immunisation campaign that dwarfs either the annual flu or childhood vaccination programmes.
Care home residents and staff will be first in the queue, followed by healthcare workers and the over-80s. The plan is to then to work down through the age groups.

More details are surfacing about the rollout plan; apparently, the NHS is hoping to give out a million doses a week. That would mean over a year for a full-population vaccination programme; and starts to raise questions about when we should begin to lift restrictions.
NHS Covid drive aims to vaccinate up to 5,000 people daily at each mass centre
Thousands of hospital staff to be deployed in inoculation network with jabs also done by GPs at smaller community sites
www.theguardian.com
Thousands of hospital staff will join the drive to vaccinate all adults in England against coronavirus and will be deployed at mass vaccination centres, each of them aiming to give the jab to up to 5,000 people a day, NHSofficials involved in the plans said.
The NHS intends to use football stadiums, town halls and conference buildings in England to inoculate at least 2,000 people per centre each day. In urban areas, there will be a network of these centres.
The new facilities will be additional to the 1,560 community-based vaccination centres run by GPs, which will each dispense 200 to 500 jabs a day. Other forms of vaccination are also planned, including mobile vans and visits to homes and prisons. All the venues will do temperature checks on people before entry allowing space for social distancing and a 15-minute recovery time.
Neither NHS England nor the government has so far published an overall projection for how many vaccinations all these venues and methods of delivery will carry out daily in total. NHS England is expected to publish its “deployment plan”, outlining the rollout, next week.
However, seconding personnel from already under-staffed hospitals to aid the vaccine rollout could lead to patients having to wait longer for care. The NHS is already facing a massive backlog of cases due to its decision to suspend most non-Covid care provision in the spring.
NHS England has asked health service heads across England to be ready to vaccinate many numbers of people at large sites not in use because of the pandemic.
The details emerged as government figures showed the UK’s Covid-19 death toll has surpassed 50,000, adding to the pressure to roll out a comprehensive vaccination programme as soon as possible.
The centres are also expected to play a key role in immunising the general public in a second phase of the vaccination programme, following the dispensing of two doses each to the estimated 22 million, including carehome residents, NHS staff and those aged 50 or over, considered a priority.
A Whitehall official explained the centres’ key role, saying: “We are looking to vaccinate as many people as is humanly possible as quickly as possible. We want to get the country back to normal as soon as possible, which would allow us to open up the economy.”
Staff from every hospital will be seconded to the vaccination campaign, which ministers see as vital to achieving their aim of reviving the economy and normalising life.
The staff, however, could be absent from their normal duties for several months, which could affect hospital services. But many NHS workers are thought to be keen to play their part in combating the virus.
Jonathan Van-Tam, England’s deputy chief medical officer, said on Wednesday that he would happily give up his free time to help administer the vaccine. “This is one of the most important, if not the most important, vaccination programme we’ve done for decades,” he said. “If I can help with this in some evenings and weekends, doing some extra vaccinations sessions myself, then I’m going to.”
District nurses, health visitors and other health professionals who do not work in hospitals will also be drafted in to help, amid concerns that, while GPs are playing the lead role in the immunisation effort, there are too few of them to deliver the NHS target of vaccinating a million people a week.

The sooner the better. Is there a suggested population percentage that is needed for herd immunity which is specific for C-19? It does vary between diseases.
Shouldn't be forgotten that there's an 'official' head start of ~1.5m cases across the UK since this reared its head.

Given that the plan vaccinates the most vulnerable, I don't know if we need vaccine-induced herd immunity to start easing things off. It doesn't matter if it spreads if the vulnerable are protected?

The herd-immunity threshold is a function of the base R rate of a disease, which based on the estimated R0s of SARS-COV2 is between 60% and 75%. Like you also note, it's not that we need to vaccinate 60-75% of people, it's that we need 60-75% of people to have immunity - a large portion of which will have arisen due to previous infection.
I agree with Yew though, given the targeted distribution the appetite for continued restrictions will be limited. It'll be hard to get buy in from the population for continued restrictions when hospitalisations and deaths start dropping off massively

I agree the sooner the better; the future of our society depends on it.
It is difficult to calculate the threshold needed for "herd immunity"; furthermore the term seems to be used in different ways, with a strict definition of the term refers to the level at which the virus cannot spread at all and leads to zero cases. However many people use the term to mean reaching a level of "endemic equilibrium" which means it is still there but due to many people having some level of immunity, it does not grow exponentially and becomes just another seasonal virus, alongside the 4 pre-existing coronaviruses, and many rhinoviruses and 'flu strains that circulate.
As for how much pre-existing immunity we have, that is also very complex. I doubt anywhere close to only 1.5m people in the UK have had exposure to Sars-Cov-2; the true figure is likely far higher. I agree that the vast majority of people who have been exposed will develop long-lasting immunity. Many people who are exposed to Sars-Cov-2 appear to have T-cells which can already recognise and destroy the virus, presumably due to the relative similarity between it and other Coronaviruses, and these people not only don't get ill but don't necessarily need to develop any antibodies and may not necessarily test positive in a PCR test.
But the restrictions need to go urgently. I am sure some hysterical people will be demanding punitive restrictions remain until nearly everyone has been vaccinated but that is totally unrealistic and ignores the bigger picture.

I think that as time goes on, the picture will become clearer. It will depend on what the 'aim' is: is it to reduce pressure on the NHS? If so, the answer is likely to be that we only need to vaccinate the most vulnerable (though defining the cut off point may be tricky) and it doesn't matter if younger people get it, but I am sure that the hysterical brigade will call for us to go much further than that if they see any sign that is achievable.
But it does raise moral questions: for example, should young, fit and healthy people with no pre-existing conditions in the UK take priority over vulnerable people in other countries? Arguably the answer is probably no, but I suspect that's an argument that will crop up at some point. It's too early to say at the moment what might happen.

What "moral" case is there for making it a priority to waste the vaccine on people who don't even need it over giving it to people whose survival may depend on it?

I can only imagine that this is the plan. Every new iteration of covid-19 lockdown is getting harder and harder for the government to get through. I think people are just about willing to accept that restrictions will be needed through the 20-21 winter flu season ie until March or April (depending on the weather: let's hope for a warm March!). I think the current tier legislation is due to end at the end of March, by which time we won't have vaccinated everyone of course! But I think it's important to see the route out as vaccinations + treatment + testing, not just based on any one of these. So I don't think herd-immunity is the point at which covid-19 measures will go.

I don't particuarly think that this question is up for grabs is it? Governments don't own the vaccine; private companies do. So it's primarily a question of who those companies will accept orders from, but the WHO has a programme for obtaining vaccinations for countries which can't otherwise afford it.

New post:
The Guardian are now reporting that vaccinations could start between 7th-9th December, with NHS staff likely to now get it before those in care homes
NHS bosses said hospitals in England could expect to receive their first deliveries of a vaccine produced by Pfizer/BioNTech as soon as Monday 7 December, with regulatory approval anticipated within days.
According to sources at several hospitals across the country, NHS England said they should expect to get stocks of vaccine on 7, 8 or 9 December.
Initially only NHS staff are set to be given the jab, with care home residents and the over-80s having to wait. This is despite those two groups being classed by the government as top priorities for Covid immunisation, as they have the greatest risk of death from the disease. Care sector chiefs reacted angrily, warning that the move would be seen as a “betrayal”.....
But the nature of the Pfizer vaccine appears to have forced a rethink of who gets it first. Its composition means it should be moved only a limited number of times, experts believe, and as such it cannot easily be transported by healthcare staff such as GPs to care homes and older people’s private residences.

Looks like there'll be a minister directly responsible for the vaccine rollout (oh dear):
Covid: Nadhim Zahawi appointed as vaccine rollout minister
Nadhim Zahawi will oversee distributing the vaccine in England until at least summer 2021.
www.bbc.co.uk
Deployment of the Covid vaccine will be led by Business Minister Nadhim Zahawi, Number 10 has announced.
Mr Zahawi, MP for Stratford-on-Avon, was appointed by the prime minister to oversee distribution of the vaccine until at least next summer.
Health Secretary Matt Hancock said he was "delighted", adding in a tweet there was "an enormous task ahead".
Mr Zahawi's primary focus will be on delivering the vaccine, with most areas of his business portfolio put aside.
In a tweet, he welcomed his new post but said the rollout would be a "big responsibility and a big operational challenge".
He added that he was "absolutely committed to making sure we can roll out vaccines quickly - saving lives and livelihoods and helping us #buildbackbetter".

Apparently Nottinghamshire, with a population of 800,000 people is planning to do 80,000 vaccinations a week, which would presumably vaccinate the whole county in 10 weeks.
Covid: Target for 80,000 vaccinations every week by January in Nottingham and Nottinghamshire | West Bridgford Wire
Dr Andy Haynes, Executive Lead, Nottingham and Nottinghamshire Integrated Care System updated the media at today’s weekly virtual Covid briefing.
Speaking about the possible upcoming vaccines, Dr Haynes said:
‘I’m optimistic about the vaccine, and we are well-placed in Nottingham and Nottinghamshire to carry out this work.
‘For example this year’s flu vaccination programme is already further ahead now than in all of last Winter, we are vaccinating 25,000 patients every week for flu.
‘Our target for any authorised Covid vaccination is 80,000 per week by January.

The population of Nottinghamshire (Ceremonial) is well over 1.1 million.
Nottinghamshire the administrative county does not include the city of Nottingham after all.

In addition there are no plans anywhere to vaccinate the under 55s, certainly not in the first round anyway.

The NHS is advertising for temporary staff to administer the vaccinations. No clinical experience necessary, just 2 A-levels.
NHS Professionals - Covid-19 Vaccination Programme Registered Vaccinator
With clinical trials progressing well, the NHS is preparing to deliver Covid-19 vaccines to millions of at-risk people to start with, across the country as soon as they are approved by the MHRA, the official UK regulator.

Why?
Injections are not hard to give and only require minor training.
Much better to save the medical professionals, which are in short supply, for supervisory and emergency support roles.
All that matters is the vaccination rate is driven as high as possible.

I was just under the impression that a doctor or a nurse is the best person to administer it as they do it day in day out. The thought of some 18 year old just out of school trying doing it just to earn some beer money does not appeal - sorry.

I don't see an issue as long as they are properly trained. As HSTEd says it will allow doctors and nurses to concentrate on other health issues.

So here we are, the biggest vaccination program in history using vaccines only allowed for use because of emergency use approval. We have no idea about long term safety or how long protection lasts. To top it off we are going to pay a load of temps £11 per hour to give you it.
Apologies for not being more enthused.

Giving an intramuscular injection is one of the easiest things to do, medically. It's nigh on impossible to screw it up. Dose checking etc will be done by a qualified person anyway, there will always be two people present. Anything injected must be cross checked by at least one other person.
Many IV cannulations in hospitals (which require significantly more skill than IM) are carried out by previously untrained healthcare assistants. I know that because I train them.
But in actual fact I reckon the casual staff will be ticking names off lists and showing people where to sit.

Indeed the most important factor in this scenario is probably making the people giving the injections comfortable with requesting assistance if for some reason something unusual is happening.

Therein lies the problem (perceived or otherwise). I think just about enough people will come forward for vaccination for the programme to be deemed a success, but were it not for the fact we’re effectively being held to ransom, I suspect most wouldn’t touch it with a barge pole!

It says NVQ3 in a relevant subject. So an A level in cookery and geography won't cut it.

The Covid Pfizer vaccine has been approved for use next week in the UK.
Covid Pfizer vaccine approved for use next week in UK - BBC News
The UK has become the first country in the world to approve the Pfizer/BioNTech coronavirus vaccine for widespread use.
British regulator, the MHRA, says the jab, which offers up to 95% protection against Covid-19 illness, is safe for roll out.
Immunisations could start within days for people in high priority groups.

As does all the social media squealing as people who will have to wait a long time to be invited to get a vaccine because they are not in the most vulnerable groups find out they are not going to be at the front of the vaccine queue. (And yes, this has already started!)

Good news to wake up to. Fingers crossed its the beginning of the end although I expect even next Christmas will be affected in some way, maybe even quite a lot.


A transformação digital é um tópico importante, mas do que se trata exatamente e o que significa para as empresas? Neste curso, desenvolvido na Darden School of Business na Universidade da Virgínia e liderado pelos especialistas em gestão global da Darden e do Boston Consulting Group (BCG), falamos sobre transformação digital de duas maneiras.

Speaking of impact, you're probably familiar with Netflix, the streaming company. The competitive advantage of Netflix is not or not only making videos available online, it is improving the whole experience of discovering those videos in the first place. Actually, Netflix collects enormous amounts of data and analyzes customer watching habits to generate personalized recommendations and offerings. And they go even further, they analyse what people like to watch and why, and use this data as a basis to produce their own series. Netflix might be an extreme example. This whole business model is built on Big Data as a competitive advantage. But Big Data can also bring incremental improvements to existing business across different areas of application. Let me give you some examples of how Big Data is used in different industries. The most common use of Big Data is probably personalization of offering. Companies like Amazon are obvious examples. But Brick and Mortar companies also use Big Data to get to know their customers and offer customized solutions. You think you got those discount vouchers from your supermarkets by chance? Think again. Fraud Reduction is another example of how Big Data can be used to create value. Credit card companies like Visa analyse billions of transactions to identify unusual patterns, and therefore reduce fraud in real time. According to Visa, that saves them $2 billion each year. Big Data can also be used for Predictive Maintenance. What does that mean? It means that a company can use the data it collects about operations to predict performance issues before they even happen. This is extremely valuable especially in asset intensive industries. An oil and gas client for example, had hundreds of wells across three continents connected to an analytics platform, which integrates data from those facilities and generates insight. This generated savings of more than $200,000,000.00 annually. And these are just selected examples. Big Data has many more application areas across all industries, all functions. We estimate that leaders in Big Data generate an average of 12% more revenue than those who do not maximize their use of analytics. Now, how do those leaders better manage to unlock value from Big Data? We will have a closer look at this in Module 4, but I want to start here by discussing with you an overlooked challenge. Here's an interesting story from 2012. You might have heard about it. It was a big scandal all over the news. The New York Times printed their article, How Companies Learn Your Secrets. The journalist narrates the story of a man who went to his local grocery store complaining that his daughter, teenage daughter, was strangely receiving coupons for baby products. The store manager of course apologized, not sure why headquarters comes up with those recommendations. The store manager, a diligent man, called to apologize again few days later, only to learn that the daughter is actually expectant. And there are more examples like this in which companies have done fantastic analytics work but ended up losing something much more valuable, customers' trust. And if you want your customer data to be your competitive advantage, trust is the one thing you don't want to lose. In fact, a BCG study found that customers' reaction to data misuse can cause them to reduce their spending with a company by about one-third. This cannot be mitigated by even longer or more complex legal documents that you get your customers to sign. It can protect you in court, maybe, but not from a PR standpoints. If you are interested to hear more about this, check my conversation with John Rose, BCG senior partner and writer of multiple perspectives in the topic. So, let me summarize the most important takeaways from this lesson. The amount of stored data is increasing exponentially with a strong shift from analog to digital. Big Data can be defined as an enormous amount of unstructured, fast moving data. It can be traced, connected, and analyzed to generate business value and even to transform whole business models. Big Data is not only a technology question, it is about earning and maintaining customers' trust. This will be the source of a long lasting competitive advantage.


Shipping is an important part of any eCommerce operation. The ability to deliver an order on time and at a low cost while providing the customer with full transparency is crucial. Online sellers that cannot nail the distribution aspect of their operations will fail to achieve success in the long run. Many shoppers already perceive shipping as one of the biggest drawbacks of buying online, so the inability to handle this process effectively can damage the reputation of an online merchant.
So, how can retailers improve reporting and their shipping process? It starts with insightful metrics that consider a variety of different areas of shipping from drop shippers to shipping providers to shipping costs. By regularly analyzing these shipping metrics, retailers can see what they are doing right, where they are going wrong and then take corrective action to ensure these elements of their eCommerce operations are no longer working against them.
Here are a few shipping metrics that retailers should include to improve their reports:
1. Shipping costs:
How expensive is it for companies to ship items to customers? Shipping can be a significant cost if retailers aren’t executing it strategically. On top of that, with fuel prices on the rise, shipping providers such as FedEx and United Parcel Service are always looking for new ways to charge retailers more money. If shipping costs spike or grow over time, shipping metrics can help merchants identify the problem so retailers can make adjustments (perhaps by changing the packages they use or exploring their options with other shipping providers).
2. Orders by Shipping Location:
A retailer may choose to add or remove a shipping provider, or adjust warehouse operations to support a popular shipping type.
Retailers are focused on efficiency as a means of improving their profit margins. The less wasteful practices used, the more money they save. This has led merchants to make extensive use of drop shippers. Sometimes, drop shippers help retailers offer more items at a lower operational cost. Shipping metrics- such as number of orders fulfilled by drop shippers, number of order fulfilled by internal warehouse- can help sellers allocate inventory and adjust operations based on the volume of orders being shipped from each location.
3. Shipping type:
Retailers frequently offer multiple different types of shipping, ranging from more expensive overnight to less expensive ground shipping. If shipping metrics show customers are all opting for one end of the spectrum over the other, merchants can leverage this information to make influential operational decisions. A retailer may choose to add or remove a shipping provider, or adjust warehouse operations to support a popular shipping type.
Shipping metrics are paramount to the success of any merchant,. In regard to shipping, the technology is especially important. By utilizing eCommerce software such as SalesWarp, merchants can track and view real-time performance across all areas of eCommerce operations, including shipping and order fulfillment.

If £2000 is placed into a bank account that pays 3% compound interest per year, how much will be in the account after 5 years?
Hi Kayleigh, You would need to use the compound interest formula here, which is Final amount = initial amount x interest rate^years. -- The initial and final amounts are both in pounds -- The interest rate is a percentage change displayed as a decimal (ie. a multiplier). For instance, if there was a 7% increase, it would be x1.07 because the next amount is the original amount (the '1') plus th... more

Scandinavia is a group of countries in northern Europe. Scandinavia is Denmark, Norway, and Sweden. Some people also think Finland is part of Scandinavia. Others also say Iceland and the Faroe Islands should count.[1] Most of the time, "Scandinavia" is used to mean places where people speak Scandinavian languages (also called North Germanic languages or Nordic). The Scandinavian languages (Swedish, Norwegian, Danish, Icelandic and Finnish) are very similar to each other, and many Scandinavians understand some of the other languages because they are reasonably similar. Scandinavia is also the smallest region in Europe.
Satellite photo of Scandinavia, February 2003
What people mean when they say "Scandinavia" depends on what they think is important at the time. Mostly, when people want to talk about about maps, natural land formations and how the economy works, they say Finland is part of Scandinavia but Iceland isn't. When people want to talk about history and what languages people speak, they say Iceland is part of Scandinavia but Finland isn't.[1]
The Scandinavian Peninsula is a large peninsula reaching west from northern Europe over the north side of the Baltic Sea. Norway, Sweden and some of Finland are on this peninsula. However, Denmark is considered part of Scandinavia in the ethnic sense more often than Finland is. This is because Danish is a Scandinavian language but Finnish is not.
Some people like to say "Nordic countries" instead of "Scandinavia" because they think it is more correct about geography, but the Nordic countries include Norway, Sweden, Denmark (including the Faroe Islands), Finland, and Iceland. These five countries use the Nordic Council to work together on political and cultural activities. Denmark, Sweden, and Finland are also members of the European Union, but only Finland is part of the eurozone, meaning that it uses the Euro as its money. The other Nordic countries still use their own money, called krone or krona (from the word "crowns"). Norway and Iceland, which are not members of the EU, are members of NATO and the European Free Trade Association (EFTA). Only Denmark is a member of both the EU and NATO.

GeographyEdit
Most of the Scandinavian Peninsula has only a few people in it. It has large forests of pine, birch, and spruce trees. The western and northern parts are mountainous; the Scandinavian mountains are some of the oldest in the world. The tallest mountain is Galdhøpiggen in Norway. Denmark (43,098 km2) is the smallest of the Scandinavian countries. It is more densely populated, and most of the land is farmland. Sweden (449,964 km2) is the largest of the Scandinavian countries. It has the most lakes, and the landscape ranges from plains in the south to mountains in the west (along the border with Norway) to tundra in the north. The far north of Scandinavia and Finland is called Lapland, where the Sami people live. Some of them still herd reindeer, but most Sami live in modern houses and have modern jobs, like other Scandinavians.
VikingsEdit
The most famous group of Scandinavians is the Vikings of the Middle Ages. The Vikings attacked and raided but they were also traders, traveling to the Ukraine and starting trade routes to the Middle East.
Vikings from Norway were explorers, crossing the North Atlantic in their longships. They came to Iceland and Greenland and built towns and farms there. The Norwegian explorers also came to the east coast of Canada, where they set up at least one settlement, but it did not last into modern times.[2]
The Vikings from Denmark came to England, where they affected the history and politics and even the English language. Danish raiders attacked England many times with great violence. Sometimes the Danes would ask that the English pay them to go away. These payments were called "Danegeld" (Danish gold). The priests and bishops of churches on the east coast of England wrote a famous prayer: "deliver us, O Lord, from the wrath of the Norsemen!" "Norsemen" is another way to say "men from the north," or the Danes.[3][4]
Scandinavians in fiction and theaterEdit
Much later, in the 19th century (1800s), Richard Wagner and other artists in the Romantic period made operas and other artwork about ancient Germanic culture. They liked the Vikings because they were not Greeks or Romans. They were the first to have the idea of Vikings wearing helmets with wings or horns on them and drinking out of hollowed-out animal horns. Some ancient Germans wore helmets with horns on them, but real Vikings did not. Wagner and his partners deliberately dressed the actors in the opera Ring des Nibelungen so they would look like ancient Germans and so the audience would feel like modern Germans came from medieval Vikings.[5][6]
HistoryEdit
During the 10th through 13th centuries, when the Christian religion spread through Scandiavia, modern countries started to form there. They came together into three kingdoms:
Denmark
Sweden
Norway
These three Scandinavian kingdoms made the Kalmar Union in 1387 under Queen Margaret I of Denmark. However, in 1523, Sweden left the union. Because of this, civil war broke out in Denmark and Norway. Then, the Protestant Reformation happened, and Catholic and Protestant Christians fought each other. After things settled, the Norwegian Privy Council was abolished: it assembled for the last time in 1537. Denmark and Norway formed another union in 1536, and it lasted until 1814. It turned into the three modern countries Denmark, Norway and Iceland.
The borders between Denmark, Sweden and Norway came to the shape they have today in the middle of the seventeenth century: In the 1645 Treaty of Brömsebro, Denmark–Norway gave some territory to Sweden: the Norwegian provinces of Jämtland, Härjedalen and Idre & Särna and the Baltic Sea islands of Gotland and Ösel (in Estonia). The 1658 Treaty of Roskilde forced Denmark–Norway to give the Danish provinces Scania, Blekinge, Halland, Bornholm, and the Norwegian provinces of Båhuslen and Trøndelag to Sweden. In 1660, the Treaty of Copenhagen forced Sweden to give Bornholm and Trøndelag back to Denmark–Norway.
Finland used to be part of Sweden in medieval times. During the wars fought by Napoleon, it became part of Russia.

Coronavirus infections broke records in parts of Europe on Wednesday, with the continent once again the epicentre of a pandemic that has prompted new curbs on movement and seen health experts push to widen the use of booster vaccination shots.
Slovakia, the Czech Republic, the Netherlands and Hungary all reported new highs in daily infections as winter grips Europe and people gather indoors in the run-up to Christmas, providing a perfect breeding ground for COVID-19.
New cases have jumped 23 per cent in the Americas in the last week, mostly in North America, in a sign that the region might also face a resurgence of infections.
The disease has swept the world in the two years since it was first identified in central China, infecting more than 258 million people and killing 5.4 million, reports Reuters.
The European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC), the EU public health agency, recommended vaccine boosters for all adults, with priority for those over 40, in a major shift from its previous guidance which suggested the extra doses should be considered for older frail people and those with weakened immune systems.
"Available evidence emerging from Israel and the UK shows a significant increase in protection against infection and severe disease following a booster dose in all age groups in the short term," the ECDC said on Wednesday.
Many EU countries have already begun giving booster doses but are using different criteria to prioritise them and different intervals between the first shots and boosters.
ECDC head Andrea Ammon said boosters would increase protection against infection caused by waning immunity and "could potentially reduce the transmission in the population and prevent additional hospitalisations and deaths".
She advised countries with low vaccination levels to speed up rollouts and warned of high risks of a further spike in deaths and hospitalisations in Europe in December and January if the recommended measures are not introduced.
World Health Organization chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, acknowledging that Europe was again at the epicentre of the pandemic, warned against a "false sense of security" over the protection offered by vaccines.
"No country is out of the woods," he told reporters, adding that he hoped a consensus can be found at a World Trade Organization ministerial meeting next week for an IP waiver for pandemic vaccines.
Sweden will begin gradually rolling out boosters to all adults, government and health officials said. Booster shots of mRNA vaccine have been offered to people aged 65 or above, with an eye to eventually extending the shots to other groups.
"We are faced with an uncertain winter," Health Minister Lena Hallengren told a news conference. "You can contribute by staying home if you're sick or by getting vaccinated if you haven't already, and taking your booster when you're offered it."
Slovakia reported its highest daily rise in cases on Wednesday when the government approved a two-week lockdown to curb the world's fastest surge in infections.
Restaurants and non-essential shops will close and movement will be limited to trips for essential shopping, work, school or medical visits.
"The situation is serious," Prime Minister Eduard Heger said, "We got here because the (existing) measures were not observed."
VACCINATION RESERVATIONS
Neighbouring Austria has already locked down this week for at least 10 days, becoming the first to reimpose such restrictions. It will also require the whole population to be vaccinated from Feb. 1, infuriating many in a country where scepticism about state curbs on individual freedoms runs high.
The Czech Republic reported its highest daily rise in infections, with cases surpassing 25,000 for the first time. The government is looking to institute mandatory vaccines for people over 60 and some professions, like healthcare workers.
Prime Minister Andrej Babis said on Wednesday the cabinet would debate more measures on Friday.
The Netherlands recorded more than 23,700 coronavirus infections in 24 hours, the highest number since the start of the pandemic, and the government will announce new measures on Friday.
Hungary reported a record 12,637 new daily COVID-19 cases.
Prime Minister Viktor Orban's government, which opposes further lockdowns for fear of stifling the economy, launched a vaccination campaign this week, offering shots without prior registration.
Authorities in Russia, where daily coronavirus-related deaths are near record highs, said they were scouring social networks and media websites to find people spreading false claims about the dangers of vaccination.
France will announce new COVID measures on Thursday, while Italy is tightening curbs on people who have not been vaccinated, preventing them from going to cinemas, restaurants and sports events in new restrictions that come in from Dec. 6.
Portugal, one of the world's most vaccinated countries, will give booster shots to a quarter of its population by end-January. Cases there reached a four-month daily high Wednesday.
Deaths remain far below January levels, however, and the infection rate is far lower than in most of Western Europe.

A plurality of Republican voters oppose shutting down the government to block President Obama’s executive actions on immigration, according to a Quinnipiac University survey released Tuesday.
Forty-seven percent of GOP voters said they would be against another government shutdown while 44 percent said they would support one.
More than two-thirds of all registered voters, however, oppose shutting down “major activities of the federal government” as a way to block the immigration orders. A quarter of voters, meanwhile, said they would support such a move.

“Americans seem divided on immigration, but they agree on one thing: They don’t want a government shutdown over President Obama’s action on immigration,” said Tim Malloy, assistant director of the Quinnipiac University Polling Institute.
House GOP leaders are mulling how to respond to Obama’s immigration actions, with most Republicans coalescing around plans that would not result in another government shutdown.
Late last week, House appropriators raised questions about proposals to defund the executive order, arguing that the agency responsible for implementing it is self-funded through fees, not congressional appropriations.
Congress must pass a new government spending bill by Dec. 12 or risk another shutdown. Appropriators are also deliberating over how much money to allocate to the effort to fight Ebola and for military operations targeting the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria.
The poll surveyed 1,623 voters between Nov. 18-23 and has a 2.5 percentage point margin of error.
