Patients are supposed to be at the heart of everything the NHS does.This is considered such an important principle that, a decade ago, the fledgling NHS constitution was rewritten after the mid-Staffs scandal, in which so many patients died, to make clear it should frame every aspect of NHS work.Yet, last week, the NHS Confederation, the membership body for NHS providers, published guidance that appears to cut this ethos adrift.

A few months ago I started joking that half of the treatments in my psychiatric practice had become Taylor-based.Many of my patients are adolescent girls and young women, and they have leaned on Taylor Swift as a kind of big sister through the daily agonies of being a teenage girl: unsteady friendships, the 24-hour firing squad of the internet, and of course, the endless longing to feel seen and valued.

Innovation makes technology accessible.The camera used to once be too big to carry - it's now the size of your thumbnail.Telephones used to be bound by wires - they now fit in your pockets, and a video production setup used to occupy an entire room - but RØDE puts it in a 6-inch X 6-inch device that sits on your tabletop.

The Mets really could have used another run Saturday.They crossed the plate once in nine innings.Unless their pitchers were crafting a shutout, that wasn't going to be enough to win their game against the Blue Jays.Collectively, their pitchers held as much fort as they could, giving up only two runs to a highly capable lineup, but the numbers did them in.

There are plenty of professions that involve being watched.Acting is an obvious one.Being a flight attendant is another - think of the emotional labor required to smile and appear chipper while some guy inevitably takes off his shoes on the plane.Or consider the construction worker, jackhammering away while children beg their parents to stay and look at the big machines.

The problem isn't that Brad Treliving is the newest GM of the Toronto Maple Leafs, but instead, it's Brendan Shanahan's explanation of it.As previously mentioned, Brad Treliving is a good executive with a long hockey career, but he never should have been hired as the Toronto Maple Leafs GM.Reports already indicate that the core-four will remain the same next year, which is fine, but why hire someone new if they're going to do the same thing and not at least scare the roster that they could be moved?
