Letter: It's time to reckon with two decades of creeping digital addiction
Patrick J Moriarty Sat, October 3, 2026 at 6:06 AM EDT Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. Add Yahoo on Google Letter: It's time to reckon with two decades of creeping digital addiction My apologies for stating the obvious here, but let's be honest. Do you begin the day with a glance at your phone before even putting your feet on the floor? Do you scroll emails and websites before finally shutting off your phone for the night?
Letter: Democracy can't be taken for granted in Trump era
Despite the warnings from respected historians like Timothy Snyder and Ruth Ben-Ghiat and legal scholars such as Laurence Tribe, Andrew Weismann and Neal Katyal, the citizenry of the United States continues to allow for the slide of democracy into the grasp of authoritarian demagoguery.
Letter: As the US approaches its 250th anniversary, reject political extremism
It's about time for the general body politic to call out the extremists on the margins of society for what they are: forces of division that revel in nothing more than the sound of their own voices shouting down each other and drowning out the common ground of citizens participating in civil debate in the attempt to arrive at common sense democratic solutions to political problems.

It’s about time for the general body politic to call out the extremists on the margins of society for what they are: forces of division that revel in nothing more than the sound of their own voices shouting down each other and drowning out the common ground of citizens participating in civil debate in the attempt to arrive at common sense democratic solutions to political problems.
Letter: St. Mary's continues long legacy of seamless, professional care
A shout out to the outstanding team of doctors, nurses and staff in the same-day surgical clinic at St. Mary’s Hospital. Together they cared for my wife through a risky vascular procedure. From the moment we arrived at the appointed hour of 6 a.m. to the 11:30 recovery room, then to the time I was allowed to see her in ICU at 1:30, everyone worked seamlessly as a well-trained team to deliver the professional services necessary for a successful outcome.

Letter: Crucial American principles have been undermined Original
Imagine being brought up in a culture that taught principles and values worth defending, raised by a generation of adults who had actually fought for said principles and values, then watched, after the majority of those elders had passed away, the institutions and constitution that protected those values usurped, stolen, a crime so brazen it unfolded right before your eyes.

True American exceptionalism is about sacrificing for the common good
I guess if something once was great but is thought not to be great anymore I'd be inclined to join whatever movement was born to make that something great again. I'd probably feel quite self righteous and important to be part of such an effort.
Standing on the banks trying to see which side is right
Regarding political differences and our current intolerance for one to the other of discordant persuasion, let me proffer this point of view. It's hard to convey one side to the other exactly what it is that brings the worst out of individuals on both sides. To the Democrats, members of the party of Trump appear like lemmings following the flow of a mad river leading furiously over a cliff.
Modification of wind turbine wakes by large-scale, convective atmospheric boundary layer structures
Topics Renewable energy, Wind energy, Wind turbines, Atmospheric dynamics, RADAR, Computational fluid dynamics, Fluid wakes, Navier Stokes equations, Turbulence simulations The current trend of deploying increasingly larger wind turbines along with more massive wind farm installations has introduced new challenges in predicting the performance of wind farms and understanding their interactions with the surrounding atmosphere.
Powertrain matching and optimization for pure electric commercial vehicles based on service requirements
Pure electric commercial vehicles are extensively utilized under diverse driving conditions, each imposing distinct demands on the drive system. This variability complicates the design of power systems for commercial vehicles, making the optimal matching of drivetrain parameters crucial. To maximize vehicle performance and efficiency, this study integrates numerical statistical methods during the parameter-matching process of the vehicle's drivetrain system.
Wrong way round the U-bend?
Published on: 29/08/2024 By Barbara Schreiner, Executive Director, Water Integrity Network & Patrick Moriarty, CEO, IRC Just as the world is aligning around a core set of ideas about how to tackle water and sanitation, the Gates foundation has decided to bet the farm on technology. Not only is this pivot wrongheaded, the way it has been implemented is less than respectful of its partners.

SSAS update - December 2023
On 29 November 2023, a Finance Bill was published with nearly 100 pages taken up with all the necessary detail to carry out the abolition of the Lifetime Allowance and introduce two separate caps on tax-free lump sums that take effect from 6 April 2024. As expected, the Bill also includes details of the transitional arrangements for those who have only drawn part of their benefits. This is a significant change to one of the corner stones of the current tax regime that was introduced in 2006.

OPINION: Justin Welby's calls for a ceasefire are shaped by a deeply Christian worldview
It’s little surprise that Archbishop Justin’s recent comments on Israel and Gaza have provoked some consternation. The comments on his tweets fall into two predictable camps: those who regard him as naïve, biased or actively hostile to Israel (and by extension to Judaism), and those who dismiss his call for a ceasefire as ‘too little too late’. Being denounced on social media is an occupational hazard of leadership.

Review: The Energy Implications of Averting Climate Change Catastrophe
1. Introduction Interest in climate change (CC) and means of CC mitigation is at an all-time high. According to the Scopus database, a total of over 426,000 papers have so far been published with the term ‘climate change’ in either the title, abstract, or keywords. In 2022, the figure was over 48,000, more than double the 2016 number. However, this vast number of reviewed papers has not led to any reduction in carbon emissions.
Rethinking Notions of Energy Efficiency in a Global Context
1. Introduction Humans have always used energy. Initially, it was used to process food, which is needed by all heterotrophs. Fire was discovered and utilized by humans hundreds of millennia ago, and much later, renewable energy sources such as wind and water power were employed. Fossil fuels were even used in small amounts many centuries ago, with peat being the most important one [1].
Are Energy Reductions Compatible with Economic Growth?
1. Introduction: The Environmental Challenges Facing Earth Our planet faces several serious environmental challenges that are global in their extent. These problems include global climate change (CC) [,,]; biodiversity loss [,,]; ocean deterioration, including progressive acidification [,]; pollution of the atmosphere, soil and waters, both fresh water and oceans, by chemicals and plastics [,]; and pervasive antibiotic resistance [].
Modern Methods of Prediction
2. Modern Approaches to Future Prediction Many companies exist to provide forecasting services, mainly to businesses. Businesses are prepared to pay for short-term forecasts of economic growth, inflation rates, interest rates, and so on. Forecasting is also an important academic topic, with many journals published.
WASH Works 2023
On the sidelines of the U.N. Water Conference and as a continuation of the Devex WASH Works series, Devex will bring together leaders in person in New York City and online to discuss Water is fundamental to life yet water issues also threaten the lives of billions worldwide. One in 3 people cannot access safe drinking water, 2 out of 5 people don’t have basic hand-washing facilities including soap and water, and more than 673 million people still practice open defecation.

Small water enterprises need strong government
Photo: Courtesy of Safe Water Network World Water Day is always a good time to take stock of where we are in achieving the water-related Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Most PPPs relate to relatively large investments in major infrastructure run by utilities. But in the developing world’s rapidly growing small towns and urban peripheries, we need something else.
Relation of red blood cell distribution width to risk of major adverse cardiovascular events, death, and effect of alirocumab after acute coronary syndromes
Results Baseline characteristics of all patients, both overall and by RDW quartile, are shown in Table 1 . RDW had a skewed distribution driven by an excess of higher values so that the mean of 13.9% was greater than the median of 13.8% (quartile [Q] 1, Q3 = 13.3%, 14.4%).
Pandemic life lessons for teachers and students
If you want to make Hashem laugh, they say, set out your plans.For 5782, just setting out your term dates might do the trick. The month of September affords only five full school days in four school weeks, as if either the Almighty did not deign to look ahead or – even after the assorted disruptions of the past 18 months – there are divine priorities even more important than a smooth start to the academic year. You decide.
Covid unlocking: Do we want school normality at any cost?
The end of the ride draws near. Just one more twist of the cage of death, one more lurch of the Waltzer, and perhaps an unexpected deluge of cold water, and then candy floss will be yours. I have never been a great fan of fairground rides (that disturbing hybrid description was your clue), and certainly didn’t join the teaching profession in search of them. The relentlessness, the impossibility of escape and the wearying uncertainty is too much like a nightmare to feel like fun.
GCSEs and A levels 2021: 'A time of fury and despair for teachers'
Facing snags with your teacher-assessed grades? Got a colleague who brags, blags or, quite understandably, flags? Frustrated by exam board lags, or government zigzags? Thinking of hitting the fags, or even packing your bags, as morale sags? Apologies for the, er, gags: they are the best I can muster as we scale the heights of the exam grading system, the crowning glory of a ghastly year.
'My school was named on Everyone's Invited'
Reading the posts on Everyone’s Invited is truly a trip into darkness: the darkness of teenage party culture, the darkness of our society, the darkness of the human heart, but, above all, the black hole of toxic masculinity. It is a date with shame in every sense. Overwhelmingly, we see the shame inflicted on thousands of girls, by thousands of boys, in page after page of sexual encounters, from the inept and boorish to the horrific and traumatising.
Schools reopening: 8 March return to dystopian abnormality
Perhaps it’s just me, but things seem to have been going rather more smoothly lately. Perhaps the bar of my expectations is low these days but – leaving aside that inexplicable one-school-day Covid jamboree at the beginning of term – the first weeks of the year have felt oddly calm.
Coronavirus and schools: 'Boxes of lateral flow tests stare at me'
Most school leaders, if we are honest, could furnish a room with monuments to our folly. In our hearts, if not physically in our buildings, are the relics of bold decisions, which, on reflection, weren’t such a good idea – grand schemes flawed by insufficient pre-launch contact with reality. Pride of place for me goes to the introduction of “Ma’am” as the counterpart to “Sir” for students addressing their teachers.
Coronavirus and schools: Can we talk ourselves out of despair?
It’s a new year and a new term, and I am determined to be positive. Optimism may be too much to expect, in the short term at least, but I am firmly resolved to be hopeful. Come with me, and let’s roll with the waves. Hope treads the line between looking flatly at the evidence (risking demotivation or despair) or using it as a launch pad for a flight of fancy (risking delusion and false expectation).

Coronavirus: What should schools do about anti-vaxxers?
News of the first Covid vaccine moved me to tears. Hearing the report during the dark drive home from school, I found myself weeping with relief, exhaustion and gratitude. We mustn’t, of course, get ahead of ourselves, even with this week’s announcement of a second vaccine: there are questions to answer, tests to do, licences to be granted, roll-outs to plan.
Coronavirus lockdown: 'Let's face reality - schools will close'
A swirl of emotions circulates in schools, as term resumes this week. Some of them are age-old: that mix of joy, self-doubt, fear and exhilaration that first drew us into teaching, and spurs us on each term. Some are more recent arrivals. There's a growing, dejected despair of ministerial competence and integrity, as memories harden from the summer’s endless and avoidable missteps. There are the baffling and overwhelming regulations, the last-minute changes of direction, the chaos of exam results.
OPINION - Patrick Moriarty: We must not turn a drama into a trauma
I recently read some reflections on life during a pandemic from a fellow school leader in Melbourne. My predecessor at JCoSS, Jeremy Stowe-Lindner, now principal at Bialik College, wrote in his column for The Australian Jewish News about some of the unexpected blessings of lockdown – quieter streets, a new sense of perspective, the joys of Zoom Shabbat tables and the confident determination that the community will pull together and survive.
Lipoprotein(a) and Its Potential Association with Thrombosis and Inflammation in COVID-19: a Testable Hypothesis
Abstract Purpose of Review The COVID-19 pandemic has infected over > 11 million as of today people worldwide and is associated with significant cardiovascular manifestations, particularly in subjects with preexisting comorbidities and cardiovascular risk factors. Recently, a predisposition for arterial and venous thromboses has been reported in COVID-19 infection.
Skoll | It Took a Pandemic to Show that Handwashing is a Lifesaver—and a Privilege
It took a global pandemic to raise the world’s awareness of the importance of handwashing and access to clean water – basic services that over 2 billion people in the world still lack. Many of usin the US and Europe worry about whether we can get toilet paper, face masks, and hand sanitizer (we all have enough soap!).The majority of the world’s population wonders though what they will eat for dinner, if they’ll be able to get water, and how much money they‘ll earn today – if any at all.
OPINION: What do we do when we don’t know what to do?
Dear Parents I hope you will forgive my silence so far today, while families across the JCoSS community – as across the nation – have been reeling from the demands of home schooling, on top of home working, social isolation, concerns about family, and more.We fully intend to keep in regular contact with students and parents, but we have been doing some reeling of our own – whilst also trying to plan the provision for vulnerable students and the children of Key Workers and figure out how to...
After a decade of success, top state school ready for a future with change
There’s never a dull week as a headteacher…and especially when you lead a Jewish school during the week and a Christian community on Sundays. In my Church life it’s the middle of Advent – a season of waiting in the midst of darkness, with themes of hope and judgement.
Lp(a) has strong effect on CVD risk

How to avoid Holy Week blundering
12 April 2019 Christianity’s Jewish roots are most obvious at this time. Patrick Moriarty offers advice for those leading services WITH intolerance and populism of all kinds increasing at home and internationally, it is no surprise to find anti-Semitism on the rise. Prejudices and hatreds that were thought long dead are once again finding voice in our time: on our streets, in scraps between schoolchildren, in bitter disputes of public life, and in bilious online abuse.
Good Friday and Good Yom Tov! JCoSS head prepares his Easter sermon
Erev Pesach is on Good Friday this year, so it’s a busy time for Patrick Moriarty as he holds the unique position of being headteacher of JCoSS and Curate of St Stephen’s Church, St Albans. Jewish News asked the definitive multitasker to share his thoughts on his Easter/Passover experience – which may even form part of his sermon 2019 is one of the good years: the calendars conspire in such a way that the JCoSS school holidays (timed around Pesach) also work for Easter.
OPINION: We Will Never Again Have as Much Energy as Now
In the coming decades, fossil fuel depletion and the need to respond to climate change will ensure that fossil fuel use will fall. It's time to adapt. by Patrick Moriarty - Monash University / March 4, 2015 This article was originally published on By Patrick Moriarty, Monash University In the year 1800, the world used only about 10 million tonnes of coal – renewable energy, mainly biomass, dominated world’s energy supply.
Pittsburgh shows that anti-Semitism lives on
AMONG several sombre commemorations this month, two 80th anniversaries in particular deserve the attention of Christians. First, Kristallnacht: the “Night of Broken Glass”, which took place 80 years ago today, when Jewish windows in Germany were systematically shattered by the Nazis. Second, the Kindertransport, a rescue plan in response, by which 10,000 German Jewish children were evacuated to foster homes in Britain.
