Script:
Well, let's start with Elizabeth, shall we, and see where that gets us. I knew who she was, of course. Everybody here knows Elizabeth. She has one of the three bedroom flats in Larkin Court. It's the one on the corner, with the decking. Also, I was once on a quiz team with Stephen, who for a number of reasons is Elizabeth's third husband. I was at lunch, this is two or three months ago, and it must have been a Monday because we were having shepherd's pie. Elizabeth said she could see that I was eating, but she wanted to ask me a question about knife wounds, if it wasn't inconvenient. I said not at all, of course, please, or words to that effect. I won't always remember everything exactly, I might as well tell you that now. So, she opened a manila folder, and I saw some type sheets and the edges of what looked like old photographs. Then she was straight into it. Elizabeth asked me to imagine that a girl had been stabbed with a knife. I asked what sort of knife she had been stabbed with, and Elizabeth said, oh, probably just a normal kitchen knife, John Lewis or something. She didn't say that, but that was what I pictured. Then she asked me to imagine this girl had been stabbed three or four times, just under the breastbone, in and out, in and out, very nasty, but without severing an artery. She was fairly quiet about the whole thing, because people were eating, and she does have some boundaries.

It's not every family that Hollywood makes an Oscar-nominated movie about, nor that gives its name to a bank, a butterfly, a wine, and a kangaroo. The Rothschilds are, however, no ordinary family. But for all their wealth, power, and influence, there is one class they believe they do not belong to, the aristocrats. As Jews, they have always been outsiders, not part of the tradition of English upper classes. Or so they feel. Outsiders may be, but the five arrows are the enduring symbol of the most famous outsiders in the world. The ultimate Rothschild house lies high on a hill in the home counties, a fantastical creation that wouldn't look out of place as a Loire Chateau or a Disney Castle, Waddesdon Manor. Its interior is every bit as overpowering as its exterior, packed with priceless paintings, fabulous jewels, and fragile furniture. It's a National Trust house, but though the Trust own it, the Rothschilds still control and pay for it, much as they have done for a century. What's different about Waddesdon to virtually every other National Trust house is that it's run by one man, Jacob Rothschild, Lord Rothschild. At Waddesdon, Jacob Rothschild feels that he is the owner, and like a royal palace, it's the sort of physical manifestation of Jacob Rothschild. Inside the house, far from public view, the famously discreet billionaire hosts a private party to celebrate an art world coup. In 2007, he paid five million pounds for a Jean-Louis Chardin's subtle masterpiece, A Boy with a House of Cards. But now he's persuaded three of the world's top museums to lend him their Chardins, the copies of his painting. Only Lord R, as he is known, could do it. His guests at Waddesdon are not confined to the nobility and newly rich. Royalty and presidents also come here, each time planting a tree in commemoration, their spades left gleaming in the corridor leading to the visitor lavatories.

Charles Louis Tiffany was a visionary entrepreneur with a passion for procuring the rarest and most extraordinary gemstones. From the moment he opened Tiffany & Co. as a fancy goods and stationery store in New York City in 1837, he set the standard for luxury as we know it. Mr. Tiffany's purchase of jewels from French aristocrats in the 1840s marked the first appearance of major gemstones in the U.S. The press took note, crowning Tiffany the Diamond Kings, a distinction that the house continues to live up to. The pinnacle of excellence, Tiffany & Co. jewelry is a collaboration between artist and jeweler, a balance of time-honored craftsmanship, modern design, and the world's most beautiful diamonds. At Tiffany, our diamonds are dazzling and more vibrant because our team of nearly 1,500 of the world's most talented diamond cutters and polishers craft them that way. Masterfully cut, only the Tiffany team of diamond cutters and polishers could be trusted to reveal such incredible vibrancy and light. Every one of the six carat-plus diamonds is hypnotic in its beauty, each a singular work of art. For centuries, rubies, emeralds, and sapphires have been regarded as the most extraordinary gemstones, and Tiffany's collection is of renowned quality. Extremely rare and highly coveted, it is challenging to find a single gemstone that meets Tiffany's standards, let alone a matching suite. Our master jewelers bring these stones to life using time-honored techniques and innovative design, exemplifying a vast range of color, rarity, and beauty that can only be found at Tiffany & Co.

A world of ice. A continent far larger than the United States, Antarctica is three times higher than any other continent. Its air is drier than the Sahara, yet 70% of the fresh water in the world is frozen here in massive ice sheets. Upon these great ice sheets lies a nursery. Weddell seals were one of the first animals to be studied in Antarctica, one of the few species that lives here all year. This pup was born a few weeks ago, and now it's time for it to learn how to swim. Scientists have been counting seals here since the early days, but they are still fascinated at how these animals have adapted to the climate and the freezing water. The seal's blood carries so much oxygen that it can hold its breath for over an hour. They're amongst the greatest natural divers in the world. The ice is six feet thick. This is where Antarctica hides its colour and its complexity. Forests of tiny plants called algae grow in the ice as if in a greenhouse. Millions of krill, which are like small shrimp, eat the algae. Fish eat the krill, and seals eat the fish. This chain of life is so isolated and balanced it gives scientists clues to the health of the whole planet. Diving here is agony for the first 20 minutes. After that, it becomes dangerous. Less than 2% of Antarctica is free of ice.

The search for consistent, effective treatments in Parkinson's disease is ongoing. The importance of continuous dopaminergic stimulation, CDS, is understood to underlie best medical therapy for PD by providing closer replication of physiological patterns of dopamine release in healthy brains. CLES, carbidopa and levodopa enteral suspension, was studied for long-term treatment of motor fluctuations in patients with advanced idiopathic Parkinson's disease who do not have adequate control of other Parkinson's disease medications. This direct enteral infusion of carbidopa and levodopa using a legacy 1400 portable infusion pump and a PEG-J tube is designed to avoid unpredictable delays in gastric emptying with a goal of less variable plasma levels. Trials with carbidopa-levodopa enteral suspension, or CLES, show improvement in motor fluctuations, reduction in plasma-levodopa variation and improvement in overall on-time compared with oral immediate release formulation of carbidopa-levodopa. The degree of improvement in number of off-hours per day on CLES infusion rivals makes this new treatment a valuable option in advanced fluctuating PD patients, especially those who are neither candidates for DBS or who do not have access to apomorphine infusion therapy.

New research and emerging innovations are constantly evolving when it comes to helping patients manage and maybe even prevent type 2 diabetes. The days of tender fingertips and painful injections may not be over, but alternatives are becoming more and more commonplace. Type 2 diabetes affects over 37 million people in the United States, slightly more than 11% of the population. Type 2 diabetes accounts for more than 94% of all diabetes. Game-changing breakthroughs such as continuous glucose monitors, CGMs, and therapeutics targeting novel pathways, including a combination of GLP-1, glucagon-like peptide 1, and GIP, glucose-dependent insulinotrophic polypeptide, are helping improve day-to-day management of diabetes. Still, a need exists for more cutting-edge innovations to improve individuals' overall quality of life. The paradigm of both prevention and management of type 2 diabetes is shifting. A greater emphasis is being placed on identifying patients at risk and trying to prevent diabetes. While management is pivoting away from merely lowering glucose levels, newer therapies that can promote weight loss in people who are overweight or have obesity also lessen overall cardiovascular risk. These are significant advancements, especially considering that cardiovascular disease is the number one cause of death for people living with diabetes.
