The NHS led the argument for sugar tax and it is great to see we were right- a key contribution here to preventing childhood obesity, diabetes and other illness and a clue to what “health in all policies” can mean in practice theguardian.com/society/arti…

A married couple discovered a photo of themselves from 11 years before they met. Xue and her now-husband Ye were photographed together in 2000 as teenagers, but they only found out about it after getting married!
In the summer of 2000, they both visited May Fourth Square in Qingdao, China. Several years later, while going through photos of a younger Xue to compare her resemblance to their daughters, Ye stumbled upon the picture.
As soon as Ye saw the photo, he instantly recognized himself. He recalled, "I remember her mentioning that she had been to Qingdao, and coincidentally, I had also visited Qingdao and taken pictures at the May Fourth Square. When I saw the photo, I was completely surprised, and I got goosebumps all over my body... it was the exact pose I used for taking photos. I even took a picture from a different angle but in the same posture."

Leadership lessons from farmers 🚜
Stop shouting at and mistreating the crops. Its pointless!
Instead nurture, fertilise and irrigate them.
Throwing 💩 on them just won’t work!

The periodic reminder that, for oral iron, less is more. Once daily FeSO4, or one every other day, is enough. Please stop prescribing 3x/day oral iron as this only causes more side effects #MedEd
