UVB phototherapy and photochemotherapy (PUVA) in the treatment of polymorphic light eruption and solar urticaria.
Forty subjects (36 with polymorphic light eruption and four with solar urticaria) were treated during the spring and early summer of the years 1982 to 1985 with either UVB phototherapy (a total of 54 treatment courses in subjects with polymorphic light eruption) or photochemotherapy (PUVA) (18 treatment courses in polymorphic light eruption and eight in solar urticaria patients). Both forms of prophylactic therapy were found to be effective in 90% of those with polymorphic light eruption, and PUVA in all those with solar urticaria. The optimum duration of treatment was 5 weeks. Adverse reactions, although common, were usually slight and rarely required alteration of the treatment regimen.A U.S. Marine with an automatic rifle, left, guards the wall of the U.S. Embassy compound in Saigon, as Vietnamese citizens try to scale it to reach evacuation helicopters on May 1, 1975.

The Nov. 17 obituary for Melvin R. Laird, “Defense secretary led withdrawal from Vietnam,” said about the Vietnam War that “communist forces prevailed in 1975 because the South could not overcome internal divisions and government corruption.” That is wrong. Both sides were entirely dependent on outside sources for the wherewithal needed to conduct operations. The war was lost because Congress drastically reduced aid to South Vietnam while North Vietnam was


receiving greatly increased support from its communist patrons.

Lewis Sorley, Potomac

Melvin R. Laird’s obituary correctly reported that “the effort to withdraw U.S. troops gradually while building South Vietnam’s military into a force that could support itself” — known as Vietnamization — “was a success.” But the obituary attributed South Vietnam’s 1975 defeat to its “internal divisions and governmental corruption.” After the United States had withdrawn all its ground troops, Hanoi, on March 30, 1972, launched the largest offensive of the war, with the equivalent of 23 divisions equipped with hundreds of Soviet tanks, heavy artillery, rockets and other arms.

By fall, however, North Vietnamese troops were facing certain defeat, having already lost twice as many men as the United States had lost in the entire war. (The United States hadprovided massive air support.) To stave off defeat, Hanoi lured my boss Henry Kissinger into negotiations that stopped the fighting and resulted in the immediately violated Paris Peace Accords. Then, Congress reduced aid to South Vietnam by two-thirds and next, on June 4, 1973, banned all U.S. military action in Indochina. These were the actions that ensured the defeat, in 1975, of the South Vietnamese army, which depended heavily on U.S. air support and on U.S. military aid.

Pregnant Mom Diagnosed With Melanoma Unthinkably Passes Away Just 1 Week After Baby Is Born

A pregnant New Jersey woman discovered she had melanoma and passed away just three weeks later. Her heartbreaking story, which hits close to home as I am currently expecting, is of course terrifying, but it serves as an important reminder that even during pregnancy, it's imperative to pay attention to your own health.

Thirty-year-old Danielle Janofsky went to the hospital with abdominal pain six months into her second pregnancy. Unthinkably, she would learn that cancer, which started as melanoma, had spread to her liver, kidney, stomach, and brain. She waited as long as she could—which turned out to be just a few weeks—before delivering her baby via C-section, as the family details on "Dani's" memorialGoFundMe page.

"She made the selfless and loving decision to deliver baby Jake on Friday February 24th thereby sacrificing herself so that her son could live. Jake was born 1 pound 11 ounces and is currently in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit at the University of Pennsylvania where he recently met his big sister Avery, age 4," the post reads. Little Jake has lung issues given how early he had to be delivered, and is on a ventilator.

Janofsky, who passed away just a week later, is also survived by her husband, Max.

It's important to note that the beautiful young mom was previously diagnosed with melanoma in 2015, but as Today.com reports, she was given a good prognosis after the offending mole on her shoulder was removed. It's also imperative

Sessions said the crisis has been allowed to fester for decades while politicians made promised but did nothing to fix the system.

A 37 percent increase in illegal border crossings in March brought more than 50,000 immigrants into the United States. It was triple the number of reported illegal border crossings in the same period last year.

It was still far lower, however, than the surges during the last years of the Obama administration and prior decades.

The attorney general’s “zero-tolerance” involving border crossings calls for prosecuting people who are caught illegally entering the United States for the first time.

On the other hand, the older minhog was maintained among Bnei Ashkenaz (‘Yekkes’), among whom, not only was such restricted to a choleh sheyeish bo sakonoh, but also the mi shebeirach used was a regular mi shebeirach לבריא, rather than the mi shebeirach lecholeh.

A New York woman who says her brother with intellectual disability was killed two years ago at a state institution where he lived is now being billed $11.67 million for the man’s care.

Shaniece Luke says she received an invoice from the New York Office for People with Developmental Disabilities for the care her brother, Rasheen Rose, received since August 2002.

Rose, who had severe autism and was nonverbal, died in 2012 after he was physically restrained. A medical examiner determined that Rose’s death was a homicide.

prescription drugs from Canada, a tactic the U.S. pharmaceutical industry and regulators have warned could threaten consumer safety.

Azar told CNBC on Tuesday that the Trump administration was working on a proposal that would allow the United States to import drugs from Canada, where prices are lower.

In most circumstances, it is illegal to import medications from other countries for personal use, according to the Food and Drug Administration. The pharma industry argues importing drugs could threaten consumer safety. It says importing drugs increases the potential for counterfeit or adulterated products. Supporters, including Democratic presidential hopeful Sen. Bernie Sanders, say the tactic would increase competition and substantially lower prices.

The Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America, or PhRMA, the industry's main trade group, in response to a request for comment said,"the administration's importation scheme is far too dangerous for American patients."

"There is no way to guarantee the safety of drugs that come into the country from outside the United States' gold-standard supply chain," PhRMA President and CEO Stephen J. Ubl said in a statement.

The Trump administration proposal would also force states, wholesalers and pharmacists to include conditions to ensure importing drugs doesn't pose an additional risk to the public's health and safety. They would also need to show the plans would achieve significant cost savings to American consumers.

The plan would also provide guidance to manufactures who seek to import into the U.S. versions of drugs they sell in foreign countries.

The announcement comes as Trump, who is seeking reelection, attempts to bring more transparency to drug prices and, ultimately,


lower costs for consumers.

The Trump administration has had a few roadblocks in its attempt to lower drug costs. Earlier this month, the White House said it had withdrawn its plan to ban rebates that drugmakers pay to pharmacy benefit managers. That news came three days after a federal judge in Washington, D.C., dealt a blow to the administration by striking down a rule that would have forced pharmaceutical companies to disclose the list price of their drugs in television ads.

Last week, the White House said it is supporting a bill from Senate Finance Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, and Ron Wyden, D-Ore., the committee's ranking member.

If passed, that bill would make changes to Medicare, the federal government's health insurance plan for the elderly, by adding an out-of-pocket maximumThis invention relates to a vice for tying a hook, particularly a fly used in fishing. More particularly the invention relates to a vice for tying a fly for fly-fishing, which can be easily centered on a hook in a manufacturing process of the fly, by inducing a magnetic field on an end portion of the vice, a so-called jaw portion, to set magnetically the fly hook into the jaw.
Customarily, a fly for fly fishing is manufactured by holding on a tying vice firstly the fly hook and thereafter, tying on the fly hook a material such as a bird feather or animal hair together with a thread, to make a suspected bait, which is alike to an aquatic insect.
In such manufacture of the fly, various vices have

For their parts, the Big Three in the central bankersphere - the Fed, European Central Bank and Bank of Japan - are in no rush to drive rates any lower, especially in Europe and Japan where they are already in negative territory.

The Fed last week cut rates for the third time since July, but officials emerged from the meeting with a near-explicit declaration to expect no more for the moment.

In Europe, meanwhile, a changing of the guard at a deeply divided ECB likely means that its September rate cut will not be followed in the near future, with their focus instead being on jawboning the trading bloc’s political leaders to step up their own efforts at stimulus.

In Japan, a BOJ weary of expending its limited ammunitionhas so far avoided cutting rates at all in the latest global wave. It would prefer to hold fire for as long as possible, relying instead of pledges of more accommodation in the future should it be needed.

And in the developing world, the pace of easing has slackened notably from a crescendo reached in August, although October marked the ninth straight month of net rate cuts by emerging market central banks.

HOW LONG A PAUSE?

To be sure, the factors allowing policymakers to take a breather may prove fleeting - on the trade front in particular.

In mid-October the International Monetary Fund pinned the blame on the U.S.-China trade war when it slashed its global growth forecast to the slowest pace since the 2008-2009 financial crisis.

The dispute, initiated by U.S. President


at Princeton [Email her] Here it is:

According to Lozano, in the southwest of the United States, in the early years, Spanish was not just the language of government, but that it was necessary to construct the political system [of the Spanish colonies]. “The omission of languages besides English such as Spanish, in the great national history has effectively eliminated the collective consciousness of multilingualism.”

Lozano refers to the Spanish-speaking colonies in the Southwest, of course. But they were colonies of Spain and later part of Mexico. They were not part of the United States, which began on the East Coast as the 13 English colonies. Eventually, the country spread across the continent and absorbed these sparsely-settled Spanish-speaking areas. Thus, the claims that “Spanish has always been spoken in theschool and want to get a degree in one of these areas, you’ll be pleased to see such high graduation rates college.

As the National Collegiate Athlete Association, or NCAA, swings into its March Madness, millions partake in the fun and merriment of ball games. College rivalries heat up, and fans turn up on both TV sets and the box office. Yet a few crusty old men and women bemoan excesses of the NCAA. They cite the low chances a college athlete goes professional, or what they perceive as low college athlete graduation rates. Commentator and Sports Illustrated contributor Frank DeFord routinely complains about low college athlete graduation rates. To be fair, college athlete graduation rates are not low, and are close to parity with overall national college graduation


percent. Given that a quarter of the general population takes longer than four years, this is not a stretch.

Even if college athletes graduation rates were lower, one could justify it on financial grounds. For many state schools, athletic teams are a cash cow at a time of dwindling state and federal resources. This may suppress college athlete graduation rates, but keeps graduation rates and academic quality elevated for the rest of the school.

The United States of America offers the finest some of the finest educational institutions in the world. People from other countries come to the US to be properly educated and trained from the prestigious colleges and universities in the country. What many do not know however is that despite the high quality of education and despitethe high admission rate, the country faces serious problems when it comes to US college graduation rates. Here are three greatest concerns about US college graduation rates.

First, according to a report US college graduation rate entitled College Completion Must Be Our Priority, when it comes to national college graduation rates by college and universities, about half of the students who enter college fail to graduate. College graduation rate is therefore generally only about fifty percent in the majority of universities and colleges. This US college graduation rates are both applicable for students who entered college or university with the intention of finishing two or four year course. This is therefore quite alarming according to the chairman of the National Commission on Higher Education, E. Gordon Gee who stated


athletes. Everyone remembers the days when a college athletes graduation rate depended on how well they were doing on the team. Many coaches pushed their team players through college without the education really sinking in because the sport they played was considered to be the most important. This was especially true for college football graduation rates and many college football players graduated with a diploma that did them little to no good at all.

America needs to make a stand as President Obama has stated. We need to get our country back on top and be leading the race in the pursuit of education. College graduation rates by country used to mean something in the United States of America. Do the college graduation rates mean less that before orAging rock star and NRA Board member Ted Nugent made a controversial Facebook post yesterday which has drawn bipartisan condemnation from both left and right-leaning Jewish groups, and what appears to be a broad-based coalition of gun owners as well.

Rutgers selected for fifth straight year by U.S. Department of State to host Mandela Washington Fellowship

For the fifth consecutive year, Rutgers has been selected to host the 2018 Mandela Washington Fellowship for Young African Leaders, a flagship program of the Young African Leaders Initiative (YALI).

The fellowship is designed to empower young sub-Saharan leaders through academic coursework, leadership training, mentoring, networking, professional opportunities, and local community engagement. For five weeks beginning in June, Rutgers will host two cohorts of 25 fellows in one of two institutes: one in civic leadership and one in business and entrepreneurship.

Rutgers Global is coordinating two partnerships to produce the institutes. Senior program coordinator Greg Costalas of Rutgers Global–Programs has teamed up with Ron Quincy, a professor at the Bloustein School of Planning and PublicPolicy, and Ousseina Alidou, professor of women’s and gender studies, to create programming for the civic leadership institute.

Kevin Lyons, Rutgers Business School professor, and Johanna Bernstein, assistant dean for international programs at the Department of Chemistry and Chemical Biology, will lead the business and entrepreneurship institute.

Though the civic leadership institute will focus on successful social programs and the business and entrepreneurship Institute will focus on sustainable supply chain management, they have one thing in common at their core: effecting change for the common good. There will be a crossover between the two institutes, with some joint activities including visits to iconic landmarks only found in the New Jersey region, cultural activities, community service projects and meetings with community leaders and university faculty to demonstrate real-world outcomes.

The fellows will


also meet with U.S. leaders from private, public, nonprofit organizations, as well as NGOs—and when they return to their home countries, the fellows will continue to develop their skills with support from U.S. embassies, the United States Agency for International Development, the YALI Network, and partners.

That connectivity drives the momentum of the Mandela Washington Fellowship—and the continued application of lessons learned.

Asenath Dande, associate director of international faculty/scholar services at Rutgers Global, connected with 2017 fellow Victor Charo, a public health professional based in Kenya, during a networking reception on campus. Charo, now a public health professional in Kenya, regularly volunteers for Hitaji Development Initiative, Dande’s NGO that addresses challenges—particularly, access to education—faced by young girls and women in Kenya.

There, Dande—on behalf of Hitaji Development Initiative—will meet with Charofellows hosted by Rutgers will be part of a larger group of 700 Mandela Washington Fellows hosted at 27 institutions across the United States this summer.

At the end of the five-week fellowship program, the fellows will convene in Washington, D.C. for the fifth annual Mandela Washington Fellowship Summit, where they will take part in networking and panel discussions with each other and U.S. leaders from the public, private, and non-profit sectors. Following the summit, 100 fellows will participate in six weeks of professional development training at U.S. non-governmental organizations, private companies, and government agencies.


On Tuesday, the Constitution Project, a Washington, DC think tank, released a 600-page report by its “Task Force on Detainee Treatment” documenting decades of war crimes committed by US imperialism and its military and intelligence agencies.

The 11-member Task Force spent two years generating the report, interviewing over 100 individuals, including former detainees, military and intelligence operatives, interrogators and politicians in numerous countries. The report details abuse of detainees during the Clinton, Bush and Obama administrations, and geographically covers such mistreatment in Iraq, Afghanistan, Guantanamo Bay and the so-called black sites where the US government hides detainees in secret locations in foreign countries.

The report relies on publicly available documents, since the Task Force had no access to records kept by the military on the treatment of detainees. Nor couldofficials.” Specifically, the Task Force rejects the notion that stress positions, sleep deprivation, exposure to continuous loud music, water boarding and other “enhanced interrogation tactics” do not amount of torture under US and international law.

As of late 2012, the Task Force writes, the US military was still capturing around 100 persons every month for detention at the notorious Baghram Air Base prison in Afghanistan, many of them grabbed in night raids.

The report notes that “extraordinary renditions” became a regular practice during the Clinton administration in the late 1990s. Richard Clarke, the chief counter-terrorism adviser to Clinton, is quoted as saying Clinton approved every single “snatch” operation he was asked to review.

The Task Force declares that US personnel committed acts of torture and other cruel, degrading or inhumane acts


at the CIA’s “black sites” against the victims of extraordinary rendition.

Following the 9/11 attacks, the report points out, military psychologists were told they had no obligation to follow any medical ethical standards aside from those handed down by the military itself.

The report notes that one of the first detainees in the “war on terror,” the supposed “20th hijacker” in the 9/11 attacks, Mohammed Al Qahtani, was interrogated for 20 hours per day for seven weeks. He was interrogated in stress positions with military working dogs present and held in solitary confinement. He was also questioned naked in front of female interrogators, led around on a leash and made to bark like a dog, over-injected with IV fluids in order to make him urinate on himself, and forced toRussian President Vladimir Putin has taken part in a ceremony officially opening a controversial bridge from mainland Russia to the Russian-occupied Crimean Peninsula to rail traffic.

Kyiv, the United States, and European Union have condemned Russia's construction of the bridge, calling it a violation of Ukraine’s sovereignty, with the Western powers imposing sanctions on firms associated with the building of the 19-kilometer-long structure.

Flanked by local government officials, Putin thanked the workers for their efforts to build "this huge project," in a ceremony broadcast live on state-run Russian TV.

In November, the privately owned Grand Service Express railway company announced that the first train would depart from St. Petersburg for Sevastopol on December 23 and would travel 2,741 kilometers in 43.5 hours.

The segment from Moscow to Simferopol -- the peninsula’s capital


city -- is scheduled to depart on December 24 and travel 2,009 kilometers in 33 hours.

The bridge cost $3.7 billion to build and is Europe’s longest, surpassing the Vasco de Gama bridge in Portugal.

The railway section of the bridge marks its expanded use after Putin opened the connection on May 15, 2018, for vehicle usage.

On that day, Putin was shown live on state television at the wheel of a Kamaz truck in a convoy of vehicles that crossed what Russia calls the Crimean Bridge -- a symbol of Moscow's control over the Ukrainian peninsula.

Russia's Federal Road Transport Agency, also known as Rosavtodor, said on December 22 that Putin would take part in the ceremonies on December 23.

Crimea is connected to the mainland in Ukraine only, so the bridgeis the sole link between the peninsula and Russia.

Ukraine has condemned the project not only for violating its sovereignty and territorial integrity but also for its low clearance, which has encumbered maritime shipping traffic for Ukraine.

The spokeswoman of then-EU-foreign-policy chief Federica Mogherini at the time said construction of the bridge "constitutes another violation of Ukraine's sovereignty and territorial integrity by Russia."

"The construction of the bridge aims at the further forced integration of the illegally annexed peninsula with Russia and its isolation from Ukraine, of which it remains a part," an EU spokeswoman said.

On December 23, a spokesman for Mogherini's successor, Josep Borrell, further criticized the opening of the transport link.

"This constitutes another violation of Ukraine's sovereignty and territorial integrity by Russia," Peter Stano said, according to dpa.

"The European


Union expects Russia to ensure unhindered and free passage through the Kerch Strait, in accordance with international law," the statement added.

The U.S. State Department also condemned Russia's construction of the bridge, saying it was done "without the permission of the government of Ukraine."

"Russia's construction of the bridge serves as a reminder of Russia's ongoing willingness to flout international law," a spokeswoman said in May.

Sanctions imposed by the EU and the United States have targeted those involved in the construction, including businessman Arkady Rotenberg, a close Putin ally whose company won construction rights for the bridge.

Russia seized and annexed Ukraine's Crimean Peninsula in 2014. The annexation has not been recognized by the world community.

the lateral that prevents leaks.

Once the Nordipipe is thoroughly saturated with epoxy resin, it is loaded into a pressure vessel called a Phoenix reversion vessel, which is carried to the job site in a truck. The truck also has a boiler and power generator that produce steam used to cure the epoxy within the liner.

At the job site, the inversion truck is backed into place adjacent to the upstream access pit, Station A. Once on site, about one-half hour is needed to get everything ready for the actual reversion. The end of the Nordipipe is covered with a poly bag to catch excess resin when the tube emerges at the downstream end, Station B. The tube is then inserted into the host water line. Air is pumped intoto the host pipe walls and seals the lateral connections to the new pipe.

According to Dorval, the speed of the curing process depends on the type of resin used for the job. In the case of the Gaz Metro project, it took about 30 minutes.

After the new pipe has hardened sufficiently, pressure tests are conducted to ensure that the pipe has no leaks and is ready for use. Connections are refitted, and the access pits are refilled. The entire Gaz Metro sprinkler line project was completed in just two weeks with minimal disruption to the parking lot area. In fact, Gaz Metro service operations were unimpeded during the reconstruction project.

The White House said on Wednesday that it was deeply concerned by the use of "divisive rhetoric" in the Israeli election that sought to undermine Arab-Israeli citizens. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu suggested on election day in Israel that left-wingers were trying to get Arab-Israeli voters out "in droves" to sway the election against him.

White House spokesman Josh Earnest told reporters traveling on Air Force One that the United States would communicate its concern about the issue directly to the Israelis.National Incident Management System

This section of the website provides information on the National Incident Management System (NIMS). NIMS is intended to be used by the whole community. The intended audience for this section is individuals, families, communities, the private and nonprofit sectors, faith-based organizations, and local, state, tribal, territorial, insular area, and Federal governments.

The National Incident Management System (NIMS)

The National Incident Management System (NIMS) is a systematic, proactive approach to guide departments and agencies at all levels of government, nongovernmental organizations, and the private sector to work together seamlessly and manage incidents involving all threats and hazards—regardless of cause, size, location, or complexity—in order to reduce loss of life, property and harm to the environment. The NIMS is the essential foundation to the National Preparedness System (NPS) and


efforts aid a unified approach in building and delivering the core capabilities across all five mission areas (Prevention, Protection, Mitigation, Response and Recovery). Effective resource management is founded on the guiding principles of the NIMS.

Implementation Guidance & Reporting: Federal Departments and agencies are required to make adoption of NIMS by local, state, territorial, and tribal nation jurisdictions a condition to receive Federal Preparedness grants and awards.

NIMS Alerts: The National Integration center announces the release of new NIMS guidance, tools, and other resources through the distribution of NIMS Alerts.

FEMA NIMS Regional Contacts: The FEMA Regional NIMS Coordinators act as subject matter experts regarding NIMS for the local, state, territorial, and tribal nation governments within their FEMA Region, as well as for the FEMA Regional Administrator and staff.

NEW ORLEANS – The NBA announced earlier today that Pelicans forward Brandon Ingram has been named the Western Conference Player of the Week for games played between December 23-29.

Ingram helped lead New Orleans to a 4-0 week while averaging 25.3 points on .493 shooting from the floor, including .542 from three-point range and a perfect 1.000 from the free throw line, as well as 7.3 rebounds, 4.5 assists and 2.0 steals. The fourth-year pro finished the week ranked fourth in the NBA in total points scored (101), was one of four players to average at least 25.0 points while shooting over .450 from the field and over .500 from three-point range (of the four, Ingram held the highest FT%), and was one of just two playersNobuyuki Kuroki, the father of Rock Howard and other characters in SNK's Garou:Mark of The Wolves, has publically released via Facebook the concept art of his character back from its initial development in 1998.

Kuroki is one of the former SNK R&D division 1 staff (FF/AOF development team) who has returned to SNKPlaymore. He currently works as a manager at the company although it's not clear as to what department he's in (we assume he's possibly an art or production manager, very likely for KOF14).

Kuroki worked at Dimps before his recent move to SNKPlaymore, likewise as KOF14 producer Yasuyuki Oda and character motion designer Youichiro Soeda who previously worked on Capcom's SF4 series.

In December of the year 2000 I made my first of what would be 11 winters spent in South America. An old college friend of mine and I flew from Guatamala City to Quito via Houston as there are no direct flights between the two countries. Ecuador is small by South American standards but it is incredibly diverse, so I would have to return the following year to revisit and explore this magical country further.

A water channel and pool at 400 year oldHacienda Ocampo in Cotacachi

From Quito we made our way north, via Otavalo, Ibarra, El Angel, and Tulcán. Excursions to high altitude Andean reserves near the Equator in terrain called Paramo required tall rubber boots and good rain gear, but the duress was greatlyrewarded by otherworldly landscapes.

Frailejones, of the Genus Espeletia in Reserva Ecologico El Angel

Burning Tires block the Panamerican Highway outside El Angel

There was a general strike over an increase in fuel costs and the Panamerican Highway, which is the main north-south artery of the country became the main target for the protests. Block this highway and you slow the country down considerably. After the windshield in a taxi we had hired to take us from Otavalo to Cotacachi was smashed by a rock we had to walk several miles around lines of rocks and logs that had been rolled on to the road. The army would chase people off, and roll the rocks out of the way. The people would just roll them back as they moved along. Whenever


a section of road opened up we would advance our way north. Needless to say there were very few tourists along the way. The last leg of the trip north from El Angel to Tulcán was blocked by a line of burning tires. Trucks and buses needed to get through took insane detours down mud mired dirt roads with the assistance of the army.

Just 7 kilometers from the Colombian border lies the hill town of Tulcán. It is the highest town in Ecuador, and has a climate that qualifies as an eternal Spring, which pretty much means cold and wet a lot of the time. Our primary reason for coming here were pictures I had seen years earlier of a fantastic cemetery festooned in clipped topiary, acres ofit. This is one of the largest topiary gardens in the World. But what really makes this place special are the unique forms that result from the influence on its creator by the culture of the Ecuadorian Andes.

Sculpted arches and tunnel invite exploration

The cemetery was commenced in 1932 to replace another on that was badly damaged by an earthquake. Built on 8 hectares of land, the calcareous soils on the site make it perfect from growing Cypress, which were trained and sculpted by a man named Josè Maria Franco in to hedges and archways, animals and people, and giant heads. The designs range from local indigenous folklore to the exotic with figures from Roman and Egyptian mythology. The topiary in the cemetery has been called 'Esculptura en Verde


to make the effort to get to visit such places. I have one very tall and neglected topiary boxwood in my garden that is lucky if it gets trimmed once a year. I bought an old photograph of the cemetery in a time warped photography studio in the town from an old man who makes large scale prints from the original negatives. It is framed and hangs over the desk in my office.

An old photo of the cemetery hanging in my office

While we were at the cemetery we met a lovely couple who lived in Tulcàn but originally came from Cali in Colombia to the north. They had moved here with their son because they felt it was no longer safe to live in Cali at that timeas Cali was a center for drug cartels. We were so close to the border that they invited us to take a trip to a beautiful church built over a deep canyon to the east of Ipiales, the Colombian town on the other side of the border. We were amazed that we could just walk across the bridge over the river dividing the countries and hop in a taxi for the scenic trip to the Sanctuario de Nuestra Señora de las Lajas without any border control. We didn't even need a passport.

Santuario de Nuestra Señora de las Lajas

This Gothic basilica was built over a period of 30 years and was completed in 1949 on the spot where a vision of the Virgin Mary was reported in the 18th


Century.

I was now bitten by the bug to explore Colombia, but I didn't travel there until the winter of 2007-8 when it was much safer. It is a magnificent country and I highly recommend exploring it. When I reached Ipiales across the border from Ecuador it completed a journey covering the entire length of the Andes from Ushuaia on the Straights of Magellan on Tierra del Fuego in the far south to the Caribbean coast of Colombia at Santa Marta. What an epic adventure spanning nearly two years in total! May the adventures continue.

Gwangju (South Korea) (AFP)

China's controversial swimming star Sun Yang used a hammer to destroy his own blood sample, according to an explosive FINA doping panel report obtained by Australia's Sunday Telegraph.

The triple Olympic champion and a security guard smashed vials of blood collected after independent testers visited the athlete's villa in Zhejiang Province last September, the newspaper reported Saturday, citing the panel's previously unpublished 59-page dossier.

Sun was cleared by swimming's governing body FINA to compete at next week's world championships in South Korea, triggering anger among rivals who feel he should be booted out.

World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) have appealed the findings of the FINA doping panel's report, dated January 3, that decided Sun did not commit a doping violation.

Among the astonishing points of the FINA doping


panel's report seen by the Sunday Telegraph were witness claims that "Sun's mother asked a guard to bring a hammer into the doping control room".

It goes on to describe how Sun and China team doctor Ba Zhen "proposed that the secure blood container be broken with a hammer to access the blood vial and thus destroy the integrity of the blood samples that had been taken."

Sun, facing a lifetime ban if the Court of Arbitration for Sport rules against him, was cleared on a technicality, according to the Sunday Telegraph, reporting the FINA doping panel accused the giant swimmer of taking a "foolish gamble" with his career.

"It is far more prudent to comply with the directions of a DCO (doping control officer) and provide a sample in everycase ... rather than risk any chance of an asserted violation," it notes in a caution to the athlete.

"Staking an entire athletic career on being correct when the issue is complex and contentious is a huge and foolish gamble."

Among the doping panel's report obtained by the Sunday Telegraph, FINA witnesses state a female DCO arrived with two assistants on the night of September 4 last year to collect blood and urine samples.

- 'Sound of glass breaking' -

Sun arrived late, it continues, and raised objections to the doping control assistant's (DCA) credentials.

It added that at Sun's insistence "the DCA was excluded from the doping control station" at a clubhouse near the swimmer's villa.

Sun reportedly gave a blood sample but refused a urine sample and the FINA report notes that


after Ba arrived at 1am "tensions quickly escalate" when he accused the main doping control officer of also lacking proper qualifications.

Ba refused to allow any of Sun's samples to be removed, according to the report, despite warnings that they would be in violation of doping rules before, witnesses claim, Sun's mother called for a hammer.

"The DCO heard the sound of glass breaking," the dossier read, according to the Sunday Telegraph.

"She discovered that the athlete and a guard had broken one of the secure sample containers with a hammer."

The report also noted that Sun's team of doctors concluded "the blood nurse (was) not sufficiently qualified under Chinese hospital rules and there was no fault when Sun left the main control room on several occasions" because he did so "withthe DCO's knowledge."

The Sunday Telegraph cited the panel's report that Sun was let off with just a "serious rebuke" as he escaped on a technicality over documentation, although the swimmer's lawyers insist he broke no rules.

Sun has clashed with rivals in the past after secretly serving a three-month ban in 2014 for taking a banned substance he claimed was for a heart condition.

Australian Mack Horton labelled him a "drug cheat" before pipping Sun to gold in the 400 metres freestyle at the 2016 Rio Olympics.

FINA were not immediately available to comment on the leaked report but told AFP "FINA doping panel reports are generally confidential."

On August 27, 2007, the defendant and a group of workers cleared trees and brush on the defendant's property. The defendant crossed the boundary line onto the plaintiff's property and, under the mistaken belief that the trees were on his land, cut down and removed several trees that were located on the plaintiff's property and on the property line. He removed nine trees in total, most of which were from thirty to forty feet in height. The trees had provided shade and privacy for the plaintiff's backyard. Without the trees, the plaintiff's backyard was exposed to full sunlight and the plaintiff had a direct view of the defendant's house.

Did you ever wonder what the life of a mother in Venezuela is like?

This is not a fictional story. It is a couple of days in the life of one of our best friends, in our country, under the current conditions. Her son suffers from diabetes. He is 12 years old and has lost one tooth because he is malnourished and needs a special diet. We’ll call her L.

The Morning

She woke up early, around 6 AM. After using just a drop of toothpaste, and a tiny little bit of what used to be a soap bar for washing her face, she dressed and went to her kid´s bedroom. He was already awake, but still in bed. Another drop of


couple of men on a small Chinese motorcycle (bought by the government and sold under subsidies for the “poor” people who needed a vehicle), with the one on the back seat jumping off the bike with a gun, and robbing the bystanders.

With eyes on her back, and very alert, after dropping the kid at school she walked to the avenue, just for trying to find a cattle truck or any other farm truck that are transporting people to the downtown where she worked. After texting on her old cellphone and saying she was already waiting for a truck, she quickly hid her phone inside her jeans. After 35 minutes of waiting, a truck appeared, loaded with people up to the roof. She paid to the chauffeur and theTupperware she had left around just in case, and the old lady served the food inside. Sticking it in her backpack, she started to sweep the room.

Shortly before the end of the closing (business close around 6 o´clock in that part of the country and pretty much earlier if lights go out because of the night arrives fast, and being on the streets without lights is dangerous) she received a text of one of the neighbors who carpools for several people living in the same subdivision.

The Evening

She quickly accepted the ride (anything is better than the platform of a truck in the rainy season), said goodbye to her boss, and got out to wait. Not staying in one spot but walking from one side of the mall to


another, always in sight of the watchmen, (armed robbery, express style is rampant in the downtown these days), once the car arrived she jumped inside the already full car. Everybody is thin these days so there is always space for one more passenger. She greets the people and jokes about being on time because it almost immediately started to rain.

A light chat was in place, and she joined cheerfuly. The general consensus was “something has to happen soon”, and about where to find what product, and better price. Another topic was who had been robbed recently, and who was already leaving out the country and which route they were taking. After a 15 minute ride, they arrived to the subdivision. There was power, so the electrical gate openedwithout problems. The passengers walked from the entrance to their homes, greeting the driver, until the next day.

Her son was already at home. He is a kid who is 12, so he could microwave his meager lunch once he had arrived home. Another piece of tapioca, and a can of sardines. They fed the cats and their rescued puppy. They watched part of a movie on the DVD and took a shower before the lights went out.

This happened around 9 PM so they went to bed. It was fresh after all with the rain. The next day was Saturday, and she told her boss that perhaps she would be delayed because she would need to leave out early in the morning, in order to buy some food for


the weekend.

The Weekend

At 7 AM she was already with her son in the vegetable shop. Prices in cash were half of the prices using the POS, but there was not an alternative. The rows in the ATMs are too long and the money was not enough for buying anything, anyways. So she bought a kilogram of sweet potatoes (better for people with diabetes, she has been told), one large papaya for juice and dessert, a half kilo of white hard cheese, some tomatoes, lettuce, spice herbs, half kilo of two different dried grains, and then most of the money of her monthly salary was gone.

She would buy some ground beef for a special lunch on Sunday, 300 grams or so. Mostly for F, her son who needed theproteins. She hurried home, and leaving the kid and the groceries, she quickly walked up to the main avenue to get another truck again before the rain started.

She had to wait a little bit, because the trucks were much more filled up than the day before. Saturdays were days when people usually went out to buy some food, and getting earlier to the few shops that still have products was necessary.

Once she arrived, there was no power in the mall where her nail room was, and one man was working in the genset that provided energy for the entire mall. Once they started the engine, the mall came back to life. Some people hurried up to the line in front of the Chinese-owned supermarket. There is a lot


of Chinese-owned supermarkets, and while Venezuelan people do not have money even for a taxi, the store owners drive Tahoes, live in luxury apartments, and enjoy a lifestyle that any Venezuelan, unless it is a member of the mafia cannot have.

L worked her shift, and left in a hurry again to take the transport to a neighboring subdivision: one of her clients needed to be attended at home because she was having a special night with her husband. After having done the work on her hair and nails, she arrived home with some cash, but it was already too late to go to some place for buying anything. Going out at 8 PM is definitely not a good idea these days.

They ate some casabe (tapioca dry cakes, verytypical of the east of the country but not too nutritious or filling) with tomato sauce and fried plantains and went to bed. This time lights went about 11 PM, and they could watch an entire movie on the DVD. The cats were on the bed with the four of them.

The puppy was in the living room, in a big cardboard box all for himself, sleeping like a baby.

She watched her son sleep, next to her, silently. Took the remote and shut down the TV. She wanted to cry, but instead, she gave thanks to God for another day with food.


the whole Communist Manifesto, pretty
well in my lifetime, and every plank has been fulfilled, including
redistribution of the wealth, thatís your tax money, across the world, to the
big international corporations who help control the Third World
countries. Back with more, after this break.

Hi folks, Iím back, Cutting Through the Matrix.
As I say, a long, long time ago, different institutions, that were already on
the go between World War I and II, a lot of them, and many of those who were
involved in social engineering for the world, were indeed Communists and they
were elitists as well at the same time. People think of Communists as
guys with laboring outfits on, who were kind of workers, and nothing is further
from the truth. The intelligentsia of Communism never lifted a fork in
their life to digA lot of Pavlovian training, as
well. This is from a talk he gave at Vermont Home Schooling Conference,
it was called. And he gives you a bit of background into how all this
started. It goes back to the 1890s, actually, but what he goes on to is
what happened, mainly in the 60s.

A SHORT ANGRY HISTORY OF AMERICAN FORCED
SCHOOLING

Between 1967 and 1974 teacher training in the US
was covertly revamped through the coordinated efforts of a small number of
private foundations, certain universities, global corporations and several
other interests working through the U.S. Department of Education and through
key state education departments, one of which is the state of Vermont.

(Alan: Now, this was
happening across the world, actually. And it was said in Britain, why,
why do we keep copying the American changes. Well, no one


answered, but
it was a global agenda, you see. It says:)

Three critical documents in this transformation
are Benjamin Bloom's multi-volume TAXONOMY OF EDUCATIONAL OBJECTIVES. That was
the first. The second was a many-state project begun in 1967 called DESIGNING
EDUCATION FOR THE FUTURE, and it was set forth in an enormous manual of nearly
1000 pages and finally the BEHAVIORAL TEACHER EDUCATIONAL PROJECT which came in
a manual of over 1000 pages. These were inserted into every state education
department in the country and moneys were inserted there to pay faculty
salaries a certain range of bribes for the school districts that would pioneer the
use of these things.

Let me start with the DESIGNING EDUCATION FOR
THE FUTURE papers.

They were the collusion with the federal
education department and the presumably independent state agencies. They
redefined education after the 19th century

(A:one in
which participatory democracy would largely disappear".

(A: See, and thatís happened
already. A small league, right, would control all important matters, one
in which participatory democracy would largely disappear. Most folk donít
bother voting across the world now. Thatís why they force them to vote in
some countries. Itís a legality. If they force you to vote, and
then they slap you down with taxes afterwards, they say, well, you voted us
in. Itís a legality.)

Children would be made to see that their
classmates, and indeed the average man or woman were so inadequate, were so
irresponsible that they had to be controlled and regulated. The tremendous rise
in school violence and general chaos in the late 1960's, a period when teachers
and schools across the land were stripped of their ability to discipline
children, might be seen as


into.)

It makes sense of course, doesn't it? That
irresponsible semi-illiterate people could not be trusted with much
responsibility so in the new change agentry schooling, which is called for by
this national teacher training document, the teacher is a therapist,
translating the prescriptions of the social psychologists into practical action
research in the classroom.

The third critical gospel signaling a great
transformation at hand, to those in the know, was Bloom's TAXONOMY OF
EDUCATIONAL OBJECTIVES....

And Iíll touch on that when I come back, after these
messages.

Hi folks, Iím Alan Watt. Weíre Cutting Through

Even as temperatures dipped to -10C and

all been trained that way, as Gatto said.)

Here we are sharing the main causes of water pollution in urban areas of India and how you can help the mission of saving water for our future generations.

Main Sources of Urban Water Pollution in India

Sewage: Densely populated areas require adequate sewage facilities as well. Due to the lack of municipal sewage treatment, the human waste has become one of the largest contributor to the pollution of water bodies in urban areas.

Plastic Wastes: Another major contaminator of water sources in metro cities of India is plastic waste which ends up in streams and local rivers, e.g. Yamuna in Delhi. Plastic bags often

Wildrose house leader Nathan Cooper said it was a mistake to insult Wynne while she was a guest at the legislature Thursday.

But the Wildrose stands by comments made by Fildebrandt lambasting Ontario's financial record while suggesting Wynne is leader of a failed, debt-ridden province.

Cooper said Wildrose Leader Brian Jean signed off on the Fildebrandt comments but the party was not expecting Wynne to be in the gallery when they were stated.

"The questions that we asked were fair, but certainly a more appropriate time could have been found, particularly when a visiting dignitary was not in

The Obama administration makes decisions based on the politics of a thing, not the principle, and, unfortunately, not what is in the interests of the country. The military is supposed to fight wars, kill people, and break things, not engage in social evolution or be used as a pressure tool against Congress. Likewise, Congress is supposed to secure the liberty of the American people through providing checks and balances, not to allot taxpayer dollars to a multimillion dollar abortion provider that kills babies and breaks the law.

Harry Schneider, '79: Hard Cases Need Great Lawyers

Trace the judicial history of the "war on terror," and you will find the name Salim Ahmed Hamdan at many critical junctures. Very near to that name you will find another: Harry Schneider, of the University of Chicago Law School class of 1979.

Hamdan was Osama bin Laden's driver. Apprehended in Afghanistan in 2001, he was among the first detainees transported to Guantanamo Bay. Initially held by the United States for more than two years without charge, Hamdan challenged his detention and the President's authority to try him before a military commission, resulting in the landmark 2006 Supreme Court case Hamdan v. Rumsfeld, which some have described as the Court's single most important decision regarding the limits of executive power. Two yearslater, Hamdan became the first prisoner to be tried at Guantanamo, in the first war crimes trial conducted by the United States against an enemy combatant since World War II.

Schneider, a partner at Perkins Coie in Seattle, represented Hamdan on a pro bono basis, along with other Perkins Coie attorneys. "It was such a fundamental issue, balancing the power of the President against the rights of the accused," Schneider says. "We were handed a gift, being asked to use our skills as lawyers in service of those principles that are the very foundation of our constitutional system of government, to be on the front lines as our nation resolved the difficult issue of whether devastating attacks would cause us to depart from the rule of law."

Hamdan's military attorney,


scholarship. That inspired me," says Schneider, whose practice previously had focused on intellectual property and corporate litigation.

Several months after the Hamdan decision, the President sought, and Congress enacted, legislation creating an improved system of military commissions at Guantanamo. Hamdan was among the first to be recharged, and his historic trial before a jury of military officers during the summer of 2008 was watched closely around the world. The combined team of military and pro bono lawyers shared responsibilities at the month-long trial. Schneider's role was to present Hamdan's opening statement and to cross-examine most of the government's witnesses who had interrogated Hamdan over the preceding six years.

Hamdan, who always admitted he had been a driver for bin Laden but denied he was a member of al Qaeda orotherwise involved in terrorist activities, was found guilty of material support based on his driving but was acquitted of the much more serious charge of conspiracy to commit terror related to the bombings of the US embassies in Kenya and Tanzania in 1998, the bombing of the USS Cole in 2000, and the attacks of 9/11. While the government asked the jury to send Hamdan to prison for life on the material support conviction, he was sentenced to just four months beyond time served. He was released in his home country of Yemen early in 2009.

Schneider says the trial's outcome provided a satisfying answer to the central question with which he had begun his involvement: "How would our country dispense justice at a time when it is under

The replica was produced by design studio Vivian Alexander, popular for recreating famous items of jewelry for public and private purposes. The replica is worth approximately USD4,000. In the film, the egg was stolen in a grand heist from a museum in Rome by the notorious Ocean's Twelve.

The FBI knew it had miscounted the devices a month ago. The bureau still doesn't have an accurate count of how many encrypted phones it has from last year.

This miscount supposedly arose from the use of three different databases to track the phones. This led to some phones being counted multiple times. Really? It's terribly hard to believe the FBI could be that far off and not realize it.

This "mistake" came as no surprise to the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF). Andrew Crocker of the EFF wrote, "Frankly, we're not surprised. FBI Director Christopher Wray and others argue that law enforcement needs some sort of backdoor 'exceptional access' in order to deal with the increased adoption of encryption,


New Delhi (CNN) India is facing another record hot and potentially deadly summer.

Hundreds of people died last year as swaths of the country were struck by drought amid temperatures as high as 51 degrees Celsius (124 degrees Fahrenheit).

That followed a 2015 heat wave that left more than 2,300 people dead.

The Indian Meteorological Department predicts that this summer will see an average temperature increase of 1 degree in some of the hottest parts of the country such as Rajasthan and Maharashtra states, which as of April were already seeing highs of over 45 C (113 F).

New Delhi, India's capital, hit 43.7 C on April 18 -- the city's hottest day that month since 2010.

An average increase of one degree over three months is "substantial," said CNN meteorologist Taylor Ward.and increased training for medical professionals, according to Dileep Mavalankar, an expert at the India Institute of Public Health (IIPH).

But he warned that the apparently lower figures for heat deaths in 2016 were likely a result of "gross under-reporting."

"There's no systematic way of reporting a heatstroke death," Mavalankar said.

Anup Srivastava, a consultant with the Indian National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA), said that while 11 states have prepared plans for this year's heat wave, many more have not, and the NDMA lacks the ability to compel local governments to act.

More to do

Despite all the challenges, public health researchers and policy experts are optimistic.

A meeting held by the NDMA and IMD in March in an attempt to drum up support from local officials was widely attended, said Nehmat Kaur, a


Round 12: Raphaël Lévy vs. Olivier Ruel

Alex Shvartsman

Game 1

Ruel went on the offensive first, summoning a turn 2 Wild Mongrel. Lévy blocked with Dilligent Farmhand and used it to get himself another land, while Ruel summoned a Nantuko Mentor, which could make life very difficult for Lévy unless he drew a direct damage spell.

Each of the players summoned a Centaur Chieftain and traded blows over the next turn. At fourteen life and facing a Mongrel/Mentor combo, Lévy could no longer attack. He summoned a Blessed Orator and passed the turn. When Ruel attacked, he had his Chieftain block Ruel's as Olivier was one card short of killing Lévy with a Mongrel. Ruel discarded Obsessive Search with Madness to Mongrel, pitched his five cards and activated the Mentor's abilitydealing fourteen points of damage for the turn five win.

Game 2

Ruel did not draw a Forest, thus failing to play his Mongrel on turn 2. He cast Compulsion and began cycling through his library, but several cards in, still had no Forest. However, Lévy was not exerting any serious pressure, having summoned Werebear and then Aven Archer but not damaged Ruel.

Lévy was trying to play for his Vengeful Dreams, holding most of his cards in hand and allowing Ruel to put more and more creatures into play. He eventually tapped four mana to cast Mystic Zealot, leaving two lands untapped. Ruel cast Churning Eddy, returning the Blessed Orator and one of the lands – thus preventing the Dreams) and attacked with everything. Lévy was forced to lose several

Example exposures to harmful substances described by EMS providers:

The EMS provider was returning from the hospital. She was in the back of the ambulance cleaning up. She went to pick up a pair of gloves on the floor and was stuck by a needle underneath the gloves.

--

The EMS provider was watching her partner intubate a patient. The patient coughed up blood and respiratory secretions from her mouth, splashing the provider in the face.

--

An EMT started an IV and put the IV needle down in the ambulance. His partner picked up the needle to dispose of it and accidentally stuck his thumb with the needle.

3. Slips, trips and falls

In 40 percent of slips, trips and falls, the EMS provider was going up or


cabinetry.

--

The EMS provider was in the back of the ambulance on her way to a 911 emergency call. The ambulance was speeding around a corner while she was in the process of moving back to her seat. She was thrown into the action counter in the back of the ambulance and landed on her arm.

5. Violence and assaults

Injuries related to violence and assaults were the least common injury event identified in this study, but it only captured injuries that resulted in the provider going to the ED. There are likely many more incidents of violence against EMS personnel that don’t result in physical harm requiring immediate medical treatment. In almost all instances, the perpetrator was a patient and nearly half of perpetrators appeared to be under the influenceof alcohol. Police reports were made in less than half of all incidents.

Example violence and assault incidents described by EMS providers:

When the EMS provider got to the scene the patient was lying on the ground. When the provider went over to help him the patient became very combative. As the provider was attempting to restrain him, he bit her on the hand.

--

The EMS provider was on a call and the person he was treating was intoxicated. The patient didn't seem to be combative, but when the provider was looking in his box for supplies, the patient swung his arm and hit him on the side of his face.

How can injuries to EMS providers be prevented?

Injury prevention is the responsibility of both the employer and employee. This includes joint
