If you live in Lincs you may have heard a sonic boom earlier this week, from RAF Typhoons. They were responding to a request to identify an aircraft that wasn't communicating. This is known as Quick Reaction Alert (QRA). Watch the video below to discover more about QRA.

When we're setting goals for a change/improvement project, the standard advice is to think "SMART" (specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, time-based). @artpetty says it's time to move on from SMART goals: we need goals that are 1) learning-orientated (we can only achieve our improvement goals through learning) and 2) impactful (for people who use our services, for our organisations and for our population): artpetty.com/2023/06/25/its-…

Research has shown that Ginger interferes with the growth of cancer cells. It has a plethora of health benefits in particular reducing inflammation. A close relative to Turmeric, ginger has similar antioxidant & anti-inflammatory effects & may even cause cancer cells to die.

“How do you do?” said Eeyore in a gloomy manner. “How are you?” said Winnie-the-Pooh. Eeyore shook his head from side to side. “Not very how,” he said. “I don’t seem to have felt at all how for a long time.” “Dear, dear,” said Pooh, I’m sorry about that. ~A.A.Milne #FridayFeeling

Respect 😔
A poignant moment as a retired member of the defence forces,who had waited patiently, walks to the roadside to salute his fallen comrade. He respectfully straightens his blue beret and green jacket before giving Private Séan Rooney his salute. #seanrooney #UNIFIL

Folks please stop testing kids on the pitch to see if they are fit to return to play. If you’re testing you have obviously seen a sign or symptom of brain injury. That’s enough just remove them. It’s not “If In Doubt test them” There is No HIA in community Rugby.

Don’t wait until ICU to get informed about Brain Injury. Not one mention of Concussion or head knock whilst there. If the experts call it a brain injury maybe we should too. Don’t trivialise Brain Injuries you might not get a second chance. Benjamin♥️ sportscotland.org.uk/clubs/s…
