I enjoyed reading the article, it was very interesting especially 'Acupuncturein the management of drug &alcoholdependence'. However, a word of caution about SlideShare: 

Just read it online, don't download it to your hard drive, [as I just tried to do]. I was offered a Download Manager program that I didn't want having had trouble with these in the past, but it seemed to be the only way to download the slides. I clicked Download but along with the download manager came a lot of other software that I really did not want so watch out when you click 'Accept'. 


My anti-virus program detected and deleted one of these piggyback programs as a virus, but I still had to go to Control Panel > Programs/Feature and remove two other "new" programs. If it is too late for this advice - I suggest a System Restore back to the previous day, or restore point. Close any open programs, then: Start > All Programs > Accessories > System Tools and scroll down to System Restore. Click on it, and follow the on-screen instructions for choosing a restore point. Then just wait until Windows restarts your PC and you should be good to go.  


BTW talking of unwanted software anyone who has downloaded ITunes to get the Oxford EBH Lectures [or any other reason] should now go to Control Panel - Programs/features, and Uninstall: Adobe Bonjour. I found out that it's sole function is to spy on whatever software you use and report back to Adobe, but to do this it is using your bandwidth and processor power. I also uninstalled the Adobe Updater - but that's only because I like to be the one to choose when and if I update something; it also kept trying to reinstall Bonjour and the £6 pm ICloud Console.   

Best wishes Jo

Dear colleagues,

Here's a very good electronic resource from the University of British Columbia (I found it via Twitter):
