'We have specially trained officers with her now, who are supporting her while we carry out our inquiries in the area."

The girl has told police that she was walking from Darvill's Lane towards the High Street when she came across the group of men around the junction with Church Street and Chalvey Road West.

Thames Valley Police confirmed they are searching for five Asian men in connection with yesterday's attack (file photograph)

A police spokesman said: 'She started talking with one of the men and walked with him along the High Street,stopping at an off licence, before proceeding down Spackmans Way and along a footpath and into some woods near to the Jubilee River.

'They were then joined by four other men that had been part of the group earlier, who arrived at the location in a small silver car.'

Detectives believe the girl did not know any of the men before the attack.

Police have launched extra patrols in the area while specialist forensic officers are scouring the scene for any potential evidence.

DI Hurdley said: 'Right now our investigation is focussed on identifying the men involved and gathering information about their whereabouts.

'I would like to speak to anyone who may have seen these men in the Chalvey area last night, around early evening, and who may have seen them driving around

Sega has announced that they are developing yet another sequel to Valkyria Chronicles and that it will be published on PlayStation 4, Xbox One and even Nintendo Switch – the first in the series to do so.

Valkyria Chronicles 4 Is Real

This sequel to the well-respected tactical role-playing games comes six years after the release of Valkyria Chronicles 3.

Valkyria Chronicles 4 is set in the same timeframe as Valkyria Chronicles, but has a new set of characters and is set in the Second World War between the Atlantic Federation and the Autocratic Eastern Imperial Alliance.

As usual, players must lead their soldiers to war in the continent of Europa using the turn-based strategy and third-person shooter mechanics that fans have come


to love.

Players will lead a crew including young Commander Claude Wallace, engineer/heavy weapons specialist Riley Miller, hothead Darcsen Raz, sniper Kai Schulen and more, including a new class of soldier known as the grenadier.

The game will be released sometime in 2018 across the three platforms worldwide.This book is the fascinating true account of how a small Christian ministry which produced its own health supplements, stood up to USA government tyranny. The author did her advanced homeopathy studies with Dr Luc De Schepper, and edited his Achieving and Maintaining the Simillimum which is one of my favourite homeopathy books. The majority of the cases in that book are hers.

Called to Stand is divided into 3 parts: Part 1 – The Foundation is Laid, Part 2 – The House is Built, and Part 3 – The Rains Come.

Part 1 begins setting the scene by giving the background of Jim and Tricia herself and how they both separately became “born again” Christians.They started Daniel Chapter One in 1986,a small business and a ministry that sold their


comply with the FTC to stop sharing health information and send a letter to their customers saying that only conventional cancer treatment has been “proven safe and effective.” Tricia ended up closing her homeopathy practice at this time.

In September 2010,government agents stripped files, testimonials and patient medical records from their home despite the fact that there had never been a complaint against their services and products. Their safe products are compared with pharmaceutical drugs which have killed thousands every year.

From then on we follow the life of Jim and Tricia, how they met, their marriage and honeymoon in Canada in a VW bus and their life together. They lived a simple life, as best they could afford, living in a tent at one stage and learning to survivein the hospital for a torn ligament. When others saw how quickly he healed, the word was spread. Tricia started in the ministry of teaching about natural vegetarian food and Jim made himself knowledgeable about biochemistry and sports nutrition. He discovered a new science called Biomolecular Nutrition and used it with much success in the sports field. Religion-wise they started keeping the Jewish festivals, as Jesus said “to do things by his spirit.” They were also beginning to have people come to their home to worship.

Tricia tells us of times she turned to the Bible to be shown what to do. She describes how her religious belief caused her to follow Jim to China to do missionary work, which meant not being able to attend her sister’s wedding

ATF finally admits to cover-up on StrawMan Gun Sales

Exposed: The secret guns sting that backfired on the US
America's firearms watchdog allowed weapons to flow in, failed to catch ringleaders, then tried a cover-up

By Guy Adams Thursday, 16 June 2011

Some of the thousands of military-grade modern weapons seized from the drug gangs.

The lethal fallout from a botched operation by the US Department of Justice which allowed almost 2,000 illegally purchased firearms to be transported from the streets of Arizona to drug gangs in Mexico has been laid bare in a scathing Congressional report, which concludes that it resulted in countless deaths.

A mixture of arrogance, over-confidence, and staggering ineptitude by the Department's Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives [ATF] was outlined in a 51-page investigation by two Republican membersof a House panel charged with getting to the bottom of what went wrong during a two-year operation called "Fast and Furious".

It tells how, between 2009 and this year, the ATF instructed agents to turn a blind eye to hundreds of AK-47 assault rifles, sniper rifles, and revolvers purchased from gunshops in Phoenix and en route to Mexico. They hoped to eventually recover them from crime scenes and build a complex conspiracy case that might take down the leaders of a major drug cartel.

In the event, the operation resulted in the arrest of a handful of small-time crooks. But it exacerbated an already-huge spike in violence on both sides of the border. Two of the guns allowed to "walk" into the hands of criminals were used in a


shoot-out that killed a US border patrol agent, Brian Terry.

The report describes his death as "a preventable tragedy", detailing how many of the ATF agents involved in Fast and Furious began to object to what they saw as the "reckless" nature of the operation, which conflicted with all known protocol and may turn out to have been illegal. But when they raised their concerns, they faced "punishment and retaliation" from their superiors.

It also highlights the symbiotic nature of the deadly drug trade between the US and Mexico, which has resulted in approximately 38,000 deaths since 2007. Cartels make their money smuggling cocaine and cannabis north from Mexico, and simultaneously equip their private armies with assault weapons purchased thanks to America's notoriously relaxed gun laws.

Fast and Furious revolved aroundthe biggest tool in our law-enforcement tool box. If you don't think this is fun, you are in the wrong line of work, period!"

John Dodson, a special agent from Phoenix who eventually blew the whistle on the "flawed" operation, told congressmen his superiors would be "giddy" with delight when "their" guns were found at a crime scene in Mexico, because they believed it "validated" their tactic. With regard to potential loss of life, an ATF boss told him: "if you are going to make an omelette, you need to scramble some eggs."

On 14 December, disaster struck when the US border patrol guard, Brian Terry, was killed during a shootout with suspected illegal aliens on the Arizona border. His killers dropped their rifles to flee faster. Two of the


weapons were AK-47s which had been intentionally allowed to walk during Fast and Furious.

Rather than admit to any mistake, the ATF embarked on a cover-up. William Newell, the special agent in charge of the operation, ordered the arrest of 20 of the people agents had been watching buy weapons for months. Then, although not one senior cartel member was arrested, he held a press conference declaring the operation a success.

Newell was then asked if any weapons had been deliberately allowed to end up in the hands of criminals. He replied, "Hell no!" The report describes that statement as untrue and "shocking." It alleges that the Department of Justice continued to attempt a cover-up for several months.

The fallout from the report's publication remains to be seen. It was writtenovercome opposition from gun-rights groups to win approval of nominees.
In November, President Barack Obama nominated Andrew Traver, the head of the ATF's Chicago office, as permanent ATF director. The nomination stalled in the Senate after the National Rifle Association said Mr. Traver had a "demonstrated hostility" to the rights of gun owners.
Mr. Traver is set to travel to Washington on Tuesday to meet with Attorney General Eric Holder and Deputy Attorney General James Cole, the people said. The administration is weighing whether to name Mr. Traver as acting director or choose another interim chief while awaiting Senate action on his nomination, they said.
ATF spokesman Scot Thomasson said: "Acting Director Kenneth Melson continues to be focused on leading ATF in its efforts to reduce violent crime and to stem


for an Internet link to hidden cameras the ATF had planted in gun shops cooperating with the operation, Mr. Issa said, citing the documents. That allowed Mr. Melson to watch a live feed of suspected "straw buyers," who purchase firearms on behalf of others, buying AK-47-style rifles, he said.
Mr. Issa and Sen. Chuck Grassley (R., Iowa) are leading the congressional probe of Fast and Furious, which came to light after an Arizona shootout in December that killed a U.S. border agent. Two assault weapons bought in a gun shop that was part of the operation were found at the scene. The shooter and the gun used to kill the agent haven't been identified. A Mexican national is charged in the shootout.
Republican lawmakers say the agency was "reckless" inrunning the program and should have known that at least some of the thousands of weapons would end up in Mexico or be used in crimes in the U.S.
The office of the Justice Department's inspector general is investigating the matter.
Fast and Furious has grown into the agency's worst crisis since the ATF's 1993 raid on a religious sect in Waco, Texas, which triggered a gunbattle that killed four ATF agents. The fallout from the raid and subsequent government assault on the sect's compound led to years of recriminations and investigations of the ATF.
The Fast and Furious operation caused dissent in the ATF Phoenix office, according to three ATF agents who testified at a House hearing Wednesday. The agents said they battled supervisors who insisted on doing surveillance instead


traditions, particularly in border states, and laws that make it difficult to prosecute illegal weapons sales.
Gun-rights groups, which dispute that the U.S. is a major source of firearms trafficked to Mexico, have criticized ATF attempts to increase regulation of gun purchases. At the same time, the Obama administration has been under pressure from big-city mayors and others who favor tighter restrictions.
In a 2010 audit, the Justice Department inspector general criticized the ATF for pursuing too many small-buyer cases and not using its resources to find major gun traffickers.
It's unclear how the current controversy will affect the administration's chances of winning Senate confirmation for Mr. Traver. Mr. Traver is a 24-year ATF veteran investigator and former Navy officer. As the head of the ATF office in Chicago, he made'Zoolander' upsets Singapore censors

SINGAPORE -- Singapore has banned the film "Zoolander," an American comedy featuring a plot to kill Malaysia's prime minister.

The action comedy was banned for "controversial elements gathered from feedback," Singapore's Board of Film Censors said in a news release, without elaborating.

The board revoked the film's certificate for release it had already issued. It was due to hit Singapore's big screens next week.

Neighboring Malaysia has already banned it from being shown.

The film features a model with low self-esteem, named Derek Zoolander, who is brainwashed into killing the Malaysian prime minister for threatening the fashion industry with a plan to raise minimum wages

The lowbrow satire had attracted press attention in the United States


before its release there last November.

Fearing that the sight of the World Trade towers in the New York-based film might traumatize viewers, the producers edited out all images of the twin towers.

The filmmakers were also forced to cut shots of a goat in a comic orgy scene in order to get a PG-13 rating from the U.S. Motion Picture Association.

Under this rating parents are cautioned that some material may not be appropriate for children under the age of 13.

The movie, co-written and directed by Stiller, was among the top five shows at the U.S. box-office last year.

Singapore routinely censors or bans films, publications and TV programs deemed to have excessive amounts of sexual or drug references, as well as anything that could foment intolerance among the Chinese, Malayand Indian communities.

The city state has a long history of banning Western movies and popular songs, dating back to Peter, Paul and Mary's 1963 hit "Puff, the Magic Dragon" -- believed by censors to contain references to marijuana.

Transmanubrial osteomuscular sparing approach for apical chest tumors.
The transclavicular approach improved the treatment of apical chest tumors. However, removing the internal half of the clavicle and sectioning its muscular insertions led to serious postoperative alterations. We propose a transmanubrial approach, through a manubrial L-shaped transection and first costal cartilage resection, which allows retraction of an osteomuscular flap including but sparing the clavicle and all its muscular insertions. The elevation of the osteomuscular flap affords excellent access to the subclavicular region with safe control and resection of neurovascular outlet structures during the resection of apical chest tumors. Shoulder articulations and stability of the scapular girdle are respected, thus avoiding functional and cosmetic consequences of clavicle resection.students, faculty and administration.

Binding Energy and Energy Mass Equivalence

Consider a neutral atom. An external force acts on one of its valence electron so that it brings this valence electron to infinity away from the rest of the atom. The electron's kinetic energy does not change during this process. In other words, at  every instant of time the external force is equal (or infinitesimally equal) and opposite to the attraction force of the rest of the atom on the electron.
If we do this, the final sum of mass of the electron at infinity and the mass of the rest of the atom will be larger than the initial mass of the atom. Does this mean that at every instant of time, when the external force is applied on the electron,

Nachiket Samant shoots for Yoodlee Films' next venture, Habaddi

Yoodlee Films have been pushing the boundary in terms of content, and their latest experiment is another step in the direction. The production house has now teamed up with award-winning director Nachiket Samant for his upcoming Marathi feature, Habaddi, which has recently gone on the floors.

Over the long weekend, Samant shot a tricky underwater sequence for Habaddi in the outskirts of Mumbai. The film revolves around the story of 12-year-old Manya. Incidentally, Manya, is played by Karan Dave, who is a non-swimmer, and had to undergo rigorous training in swimming for three months. Dave also undertook diving lessons in order to get the scene right.

Director Samant says, "The scene we shot is an underwater sequence and there is no roomfor error. We asked Karan who plays the lead in our film to undergo training for the same in order to get it right and he trained three months to make sure he gave the perfect shot."

Siddharth Anand Kumar, vice-president, Yoodlee Films says, "It is really commendable on the part of the young actor to have learned swimming and trained non-stop for the past three months for the underwater scenes. At Yoodle we have a mandate to shoot only in real locations, so shooting underwater couldn't be faked."

Dave was recently seen in Rahul Shanklya's Meri Nimmo, where he played a precocious 12-year-old in love with his neighbour.

Habbadi is produced by Yoodlee Films who believe in the mantra of fearless filmmaking. Yoodlee Films has stuck to its promise of

According to the World Bank report, the Kingdom's health care costs accounted for 4.9% of Gross Domestic Product (GDP) in 2013. The report also noted the improvement in life expectancy at birth, which improved from 71 in 1983 to 77 in 2013. Similarly, infant mortality dropped from 23 per 1000 births in 1983 to 5 per 1000 births in 2013 \[[@CR5]\].

History of health care in Bahrain {#Sec2}
=================================

Bahrain became a British protectorate in the nineteenth century and become independent in 1971. Bahrain has one of the oldest health care systemsin the Gulf, and the country hosts the oldest hospital in the region---the American Mission Hospital (AMH), which was founded in 1902 by the Reform Church of America. The hospital provided care for Bahrainis as well as travelers from neighboring countries. In 1925, the government established a small clinic in a shop with a single Indian doctor to mainly treat injured pearl divers. Within the same year, the Public Health Directorate was established. A small police force hospital was established in 1936 and was converted to an isolation ward the next year, which remained open until 1941 \[[@CR6], [@CR7]\].

Similar to other Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries, Bahrain developed a comprehensive health care system financed by oil revenues \[[@CR7]\]. This was initiated by the establishment of Awali Hospital, a


hospital with a 37-bed capacity, which was governed and owned by the Bahrain Petroleum Company. The first formal governmental hospital, Al Noaim Hospital, was inaugurated between 1940 and 1942. Due to the increase in the size of the population, the Salmaniya Medical Complex was also established in 1957. Subsequently, the population of Bahrain continued to increase due to the prevention of the spread of infectious diseases and the improvement of the general health of the population. Furthermore, Bahrain joined the World Health Organization (WHO) in 1967 \[[@CR6]\].

Health care system {#Sec3}
==================

Bahrain has a network of numerous medical facilities in both the public and private sectors. It provides comprehensive health care services to the whole population, including expatriates (non-nationals) in compliance with the WHO global objectives. Nationals receive all healthAmerican, Canadian, Saudi, or Arab boards, or other equivalent Boards in emergency medicine.

According to the Supreme Council for Health Decision No. (40) for the year 2016, regarding the duration of validity of licenses and the conditions for their renewal, all specialized physicians are required to accumulate a minimum of 30 Continuous Professional Development (CPD) hours annually prior to their licenses being renewed \[[@CR10]\].

To further emphasize the importance of an independent health regulator, the Supreme Council of Health (SCH) became the Board of directors of NHRA in 2015. The SCH was established in 2012, and it is responsible, among many other items, for formulating national policies regarding the total number of hospital beds required in the Kingdom of Bahrain; embarking and mandating a policy for financing health care services


through the enforcement of a Health Insurance System; endorsing standardized policies for health professionals training in hospitals; and estimating the distribution of health care facilities throughout the kingdom \[[@CR5]\].

Salmaniya Medical Complex (SMC) {#Sec5}
===============================

The Salmaniya Medical Complex is the largest health care facility in the kingdom \[[@CR11]\], which was established in 1957 with 50-bed capacity, but was substantially expanded in 1978 to reach a bed capacity of 926 \[[@CR12]\]. The hospital provides emergency, secondary, and tertiary health care services and hosts a number of specialized outpatient clinics. The Hereditary Blood Disorders Centre opened at the SMC in 2014, providing 90 beds for patients suffering from a variety of hematological conditions, including sickle cell disease among others. SMC functions as a teaching and research center and is affiliated with theArabian Gulf University.

The Department of Accident and Emergency at SMC is the largest with a bed capacity of 85, with annual census of approximately 300,000 patients per year. The department uses the Manchester Triage System. The department is prepared with up-to-date equipments and is a recognized training center of the Arab Board of Emergency Medicine (ABEM).

Bahrain Defence Force Hospital---Royal Medical Services {#Sec6}
=======================================================

BDFH is the second largest hospital in the country. The hospital was established in 1979 with a bed capacity of 120, providing health care services to the Ministry of Defense and Ministry of Interior personnel and their dependents \[[@CR13]\]. In 1992, the hospital was expanded to have a bed capacity of 400, with the inauguration of Mohammed bin Khalifa bin Salman Cardiac Centre as a national project


to provide comprehensive adult and pediatric diagnostic and therapeutic cardiac care. Within that spectrum, the center provides interventional and surgical cardiac services including open and closed cardiac surgery procedures \[[@CR14]\].

The hospital is affiliated with the Arabian Gulf University and the Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland (RCSI)--Medical University of Bahrain as a teaching institution.

In 1979, the Emergency Department (ED) was operating as Casualty and Out Patient Clinic. In 2010, the department's name was changed to the Emergency Medicine Department (EMD). The EMD provide 24-h healthcare services by qualified emergency physicians to individuals presenting with various types of emergencies, with an annual census of 100,000 patients per year.

The department has 31 beds, for both adult and pediatric patients, and a short stay unit of 11 beds capacity. The departmentutilizes the Canadian Triage Acuity Scale. The department is recognized as a training center for emergency medicine for both Arab Board of Emergency Medicine (ABEM) and the Saudi Board of Emergency Medicine (SBEM) programs.

King Hamad University Hospital {#Sec7}
==============================

King Hamad University Hospital (KHUH) was established by a Royal Decree in 2010, as one of the state of the art hospitals with modern technology and elegant design. It has a capacity of 311 beds; 110 beds will be added once the National Oncology & Research Center is inaugurated and fully functional by the end of 2017 \[[@CR15]\].

The hospital possesses one of the largest Hyperbaric Oxygen units in the Middle East, which is equipped with eight single champers and one large multi-chamber. The hospital also introduced its new Simulation Center on


expected to speed up emergency response times nationwide in more effective and efficient manner, and this will lead to a higher quality of care and lower mortality in emergency cases.

Disaster planning {#Sec11}
=================

The occurrence of both natural and man-made disasters shifted attention to disaster and emergency medicine, granting them a priority in health care services \[[@CR21]\].

In 2009, Dr. Abdul Aziz Hamza published his book "Tears on an Island: A History of Disasters in the kingdom of Bahrain" which covers various disasters in and around Bahrain from the late 1800s up until early twenty-first century.

The first reported disaster in Bahrain was the cholera epidemic in 1904. This cholera outbreak killed more than 2000 people at a time when the population of Bahrain was only 30,000. The disease also infected 5000people. That year became known as the Year of Mercy. Other more recent reported disasters include the Gulf Air plane crash which occurred on August 23, 2000, killing 143 people and Al Dana dhow tragedy on March 30, 2006, killing 58 people \[[@CR22]\].

After all these tragic crises, the authorities in the kingdom established the National Commission for Disaster Management (NCDM) in May 2006. NCDM is headed by Chief of Public Security, with members from the following institutions: Civil Defense, Customs Affairs, Municipality, Health Ministry, Electricity & Water, Works & Housing, Information, Finance, Bahrain Defense Force, National Guard, and Civil Aviation Authority. Its main duty was the responsibility of coordination between the different member organizations. In addition, the NCDM is responsible for the assurance of the vigilance and alertness


the kingdom.

Arab Board training in Emergency Medicine program was initiated by Ministry of Health through the Arab League for Medical Specializations and their recognition of its secondary care hospital as a training center for that program. Later on, other hospitals namely, the Bahrain Defense Force Hospital and King Hamad University Hospital, gained recognition as training centers for the Saudi Board training in Emergency Medicine through the Saudi Commission for Health Specialties. There is an initiative currently to combine all governmental hospitals as one training center for all specialization programs including Emergency Medicine.

Medical universities {#Sec14}
====================

There are two medical universities in Bahrain namely, the Arabian Gulf University (AGU) and the Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland--Medical University of Bahrain (RCSI-MUB).

The Arabian Gulf University was founded in 1979, as a GulfCouncil Cooperation (GCC) institution based on the belief of the importance of the cooperation between gulf countries to fulfill the need of medical experts in the region. The university uses problem-based learning with six-year program. It admits up to 150 students annually from all GCC countries \[[@CR29]\].

As part of Bahrain's strategic vision to establish a center for international education and training, the Bahraini Government invited the Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland to establish a center for medical and para-medical education and training in Bahrain. The Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland-Medical University in Bahrain (RCSI-MUB) was founded in 2004. The college has 6-year program and admits international students in addition to GCC residents. The first group of students graduated from the college in June 2010, with degrees


recognized by the National University of Ireland \[[@CR30]\].

The emergency medicine rotation has been introduced in the 2 existing medical universities: RCSI--MUB and AGU. Though it is a short 1-week rotation with emergency-focused didactic lectures, but it gives an exposure to emergency practice. Students are introduced to common clinical scenarios encountered in the ED practice. Many of the emergency consultants are clinical lecturers in the two mentioned universities.

Nursing schools/nursing training in emergency {#Sec15}
=============================================

Two universities provide undergraduate nursing degrees the kingdom for nursing, the University of Bahrain and the Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland-Medical University of Bahrain. The College of Health Sciences (CHS), in collaboration with the American University of Beirut and The University of Illinois at Chicago, was established in 1976 under the administrative authority of the Ministryof Health. In 2011, the administrative authority was shifted from the Ministry of Health to the University of Bahrain. The CHS is conveniently located on the campus of Salmaniya Medical Complex, giving its students easy access to the hospital allowing them to spend considerable time in the various departments of the hospital \[[@CR31]\]. The College of Health Sciences also provides a 1-year specialization program in emergency nursing.

The Royal college of Surgeons established its Bachelor nursing program in 2009 \[[@CR32]\]. Student nurses from RCSI are allocated in governmental hospitals such as the Bahrain Defense Force Hospital and King Hamad University Hospital in order to enhance their clinical development. The Master Nursing program has been developed with clinical nursing practice at its core \[[@CR33]\].

Bahrain Association of Emergency Medicine {#Sec16}
=========================================

The Bahrain


Emergentologist Association (BEMASSO) was established in 2004 under the governance of the Bahrain Medical Society, which was founded in 1970. In 2014, BEMASSO had its title changed to Bahrain Association of Emergency Medicine (BAEM) in official elections run by the board of directors. BAEM was the first Arab country to join the International Federation of Emergency Medicine (IFEM) as a full member in 2006 \[[@CR34]\].

BAEM has also joined the Gulf Federation of Emergency Medicine (GFEM), and the Kingdom of Bahrain has been chosen to be the first of GCC to lead GFEM and host the first General Secretary. The association plays a major role in promoting and advancing the specialty in the kingdom and the region and succeeded in gaining fame and respect within the medical community.

BAEM functionsunder the broader umbrella of the Bahrain Medical Society (BMS), which is a social professional entity governed by the Ministry of Social Development. Currently, BAEM has 31 registered members. BAEM has no licensing or certification role in emergency medicine in the Kingdom as this is the sole role of the National Health Regulatory Authority (NHRA).

Medical journals in Bahrain {#Sec17}
===========================

There is no specialty medical journal; however, there are two medical journals in Bahrain which publish articles focusing on emergency medicine. The first journal is the Bahrain Medical Bulletin. This journal is published on a quarterly basis of each year. It is one of the oldest medical journals in the Middle East, and the first issue was released in July 1979 \[[@CR35]\]. The journal is indexed in the Medicus for


Eastern Mediterranean Region (IMEMRI) of the World Health Organization Index. The journal is also Extramed of the United Kingdom and International Serial Data System of France.

The second journal is the Journal of the Bahrain Medical Society, which was established in 1994 with quarterly publications.

Challenges/future {#Sec18}
=================

The challenges confronting emergency medicine in the Kingdom of Bahrain were almost similar to those of the other GCC countries currently and in North America 35 years ago when they started establishing emergency medicine as a specialty. One of the major challenges is the severe shortage of well-trained, board-certified emergency physicians in the kingdom that affects the quality of care provided. The unavailability of board-certified consultants in all shifts does affect patients' management and disposition. The shortage of residents interested in emergency medicine reflects largelycertified by International Emergency Department Leadership Institute (IEDLI), November 2016.Ghada Alqassim, MD, SSC-PEM.

Police said the two girls were hit while walking on the footpath in front of the House of Tien restaurant on Morphett Road, Glengowrie, about 10:00pm.

Both girls were


treated by paramedics at the scene.

Sophia Naismith, 15, of Seaview Downs, died, while the other girl, a 15-year-old from Richmond, was taken to the Flinders Medical Centre with serious but not life-threatening injuries.

Police said the driver of the car, a 37-year-old man from Elizabeth North, allegedly lost control of the white 2016 Lamborghini Huracan, which mounted the kerb and crashed into the front doors of the restaurant.

He has been charged with causing death by dangerous driving and causing injury by dangerous driving.

He was bailed to appear in the Adelaide Magistrates Court next month.

Police have asked anyone who witnessed the crash or saw the Lamborghini nearby to call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.

'Crying and yelling' after crash

The owner of the restaurant, Kiet Tran, was cooking when he heard a "big bang".

He then saw the dying girl in his car park and covered her with a tablecloth.

"The lady from the car was jumping out and crying and yelling — she was in shock," Mr Tran said.

"The man came out to help saying 'it's not good to touch her, we don't know [what to do]. She was face down'."

He felt bad for the girl's parents.

"I can imagine the parents … I know it's chaos


in the family — I can feel it and it's really bad because I'm a father too," he said.

SA Police's acting officer in charge of the Traffic Support Branch, Damien Epps, said investigators would look at whether "the manner of driving" and speed were factors in the crash.

"We're pleading with the public to drive to the conditions, to do the right thing on the roads. It's got to stop," Acting Superintendent Epps said.

The one thing the salesman at JJ's Pawn Shop in Beaumont, Texas, remembered about Robert Riendfliesh the day he picked up a pre-ordered load of 10 AK-47s was that he was wearing a military-style camouflage hat.

As an Army veteran of the Iraq war, Riendfliesh was intimately familiar with weapons like the deadly Romanian-made 7.62 semi-automatic, capable of discharging 30 rounds in less than a minute. But Riendfliesh, 25, wasn't buying the guns for himself.

Strapped for cash, Riendfliesh was paid $650 by a drug dealer he knew as "Manny'' for buying the rifles on Aug. 20, 2010. The dealer had assured him that the purchases were legal.

Six months later, ballistics tests proved one of the weapons Riendfliesh bought was used in the murder of ICE Agent Jaime Zapata onTexas-purchased weapons used in the Zapata murder - the one from the Baytown Crew and the other from a similar Dallas-area ring.

ATF sources said there was nothing leisurely about their pursuit of Barba and his crew. It took agents two months to interview the 26-year-old woman who was their first lead to Barba because they couldn't locate her, officials said.

ATF investigators identified six individuals who bought guns for Barba. The documents reveal that ATF interviews of Barba's straw purchasers took place weeks or months after they had bought guns for him, and there was no suggestion agents were observing transactions while closing in on Barba.

ATF officials insisted it took time for agents to gather sufficient information for a search warrant and, ultimately, a grand jury indictment.

There is even aof liability, the Court's main problem with the third-party complaint was, and continues to be, the absence of allegations delineating circumstances, as opposed to the use of conclusory allegations, in which third-party defendants knowingly participated in the wrongdoing complained of in the Complaint. The third-party complaint contains conclusory allegations that third-party defendants "personally participated" in the alleged wrongdoing by virtue of "domination and control" over Devon L.P., allegations supported primarily by the recitation of select provisions of the Limited Partnership Agreement delineating the third-party defendants' responsibilities in connection with managing the limited partnership.[3] At oral argument on December 15, 2004, counsel for Adelphia stated that the inference the court should draw from the third-party complaint is that ". . . to the extent that as general partner, through


her domination and control, she approved it and authorized or even permitted the transfers or the deepening insolvency, then she would, based upon her responsibilities under the partnership as the general partner, be liable on all causes of action that have been brought against Adelphia." Transcript at p. 115. And again, at the February 23, 2005 hearing, Adelphia's counsel stated "[i]f we are found liable, then she's liable, because she authorized this and permitted it on her watch." Transcript at p. 21.

The third-party complaint indicates that Ms. Mead was notified of Adelphia's inability to fund Devon's operations in May, 2002, long after the events complained of in the Complaint transpired.[5] There is no other allegation that Ms. Mead knew of Adelphia's, as opposed to Devon's, financial circumstances at the time the disputed *501 transfers were made. Ms. Mead's knowledge and authorization of the subject transfers must be viewed in context of Adelphia's financial situation because the causes of action in the main complaint with regard to deepening insolvency and breach of duty to fund operations, Counts IV and VI respectively, are predicated on Adelphia's representations as to its financial ability and continued willingness to fund Devon. Also, to be liable for aiding and abetting the Adelphia defendants in their

1 woman dead after serious crash in Vaughan intersection

One woman is dead and two others are injured after a serious crash involving three vehicles in Vaughan early Tuesday.

Emergency crews were called to the intersection of Pine Valley Drive and Highway 7, where the crash occurred, shortly after 6 a.m. Police say a pickup truck and two cars were involved.

The driver of one of the cars, a 49-year-old woman, was rushed to hospital with life-threatening injuries, where she later died. Police say a 22-year-old man and a 63-year-old man were taken to a local hospital with minor injuries.

In January 1994 Evans learned that the client manager position would be filled by Toole, a white female. She also learned that Maynard, a white male, had been promoted to the position of senior information officer. This position had never been advertised and Evans was not aware that it was open. Evans challenged Toole's appointment and Maynard's promotion, claiming that each was the result of discrimination based on race. She filed a complaint alleging racial discrimination with the EEOC in April 1994. The EEOC did not find probable cause to support Evans' allegations, but didRoyal Castles, Vol.i, HMSO (1957)

that the DNA molecule actually captures and stores photons? Dr. Peter Gariaev did extensive work in this area and also discovered that when he removed the DNA sample from under the microscope that photons continued to form a spiral in the place where the DNA sample had been. It was called the DNA Phantom Effect. As it turns out DNA continues to absorb photons from various locations for up to 30 days. Even when he blasted the spot with liquid nitrogen, after the temperature went back up the spiraling phantom affect continued.

If that isn't weird enough, Remote Viewing research has shown that when an object is stored in a dark room with photon sensors, there is a peak 300 to 400% times the background photon levels when theEAST LANSING - Michigan State coach Mark Dantonio has spent the majority of his coaching life building defenses and the fourth-year head coach came away from Saturday's green and white game feeling good about the direction of his defense.

the anastomosis at selected points, there is a potential for leaks between the staple legs. The distal tines of the staple are also exposed to the blood flow path at the anastomotic site where it is most critical to avoid the potential for thrombosis. There is also the potential that exposure of the medial layers of the graft vessel where the staple pierces the wall could be a site for the onset of intimal hyperplasia, which would compromise the long-term patency of the graft. Because of these potential drawbacks, it is desirable to make the attachment to the graft vessel as atraumatic to the vessel wall as possible and to eliminate as much as possible the exposure of any foreign materials or any vessel layers other than aforeign material exposed to the blood flow path in the completed anastomosis. The anastomosis device of the system has a generally tubular or ring-shaped body having a proximal end and a distal end. An orifice or internal lumen in the body allows the graft vessel to pass through the device from the proximal end to the distal end. The body of the device has an attachment means at the distal end for attachment to the graft vessel, generally by everting the graft vessel over the attachment means. Means are provided for attaching the device and the graft vessel to the wall of the target vessel. Different embodiments of the anastomosis device are presented which vary in the form of the means used for attaching to the graft vessel


member forms the attachment with the target vessel wall. The coupling member separately forms the attachment with the bypass graft vessel. The complete anastomosis is created when the coupling member, with the graft vessel attached, is inserted into the anchor member. In a second preferred configuration of the invention, the anastomosis staple device combines the functions of the anchor member and the coupling member into a single member. A one-piece anastomosis staple device attaches to both the target vessel wall and the graft vessel to form a complete end-to-side anastomosis. In all embodiments of the anastomosis staple device, certain desirable aspects are maintained, specifically the atraumatic attachment of the device to the graft vessel and the rapid, reliable formation of the anastomosis, as well as the adaptability ofthe staple device to port-access CABG surgery.
A second aspect of the present invention takes the form of an anastomotic fitting for attaching the end of a graft vessel to an opening formed in the side wall of a target vessel. In The anastomotic fitting has an inner flange which provides an atraumatic attachment for the everted end of a graft vessel. The inner flange is configured so that, wherever possible, a smooth, continuous, uninterrupted layer of intimal tissue lines the graft vessel, the target vessel and the anastomotic site, with as little foreign material as possible exposed to the blood flow path. The outer flange contacts the exterior surface of the target vessel. A locking means, which may be part of the outer flange, locks the outer flange


in a fixed position relative to the inner flange. The inner flange, in combination with the outer flange, provides a firm attachment to the target vessel wall. A tailored amount of compression applied by the inner and outer flanges grips the target vessel wall and creates a leak-proof seal between the graft vessel and the target vessel. Optionally, attachment spikes on the surfaces of either the inner or the outer flange provide additional grip on the graft vessel and/or the target vessel. The attachment spikes are isolated from the blood flow lumens of the graft vessel and the target vessel so that they do not compromise the anastomotic seal or the structural integrity of the anastomotic attachment.
In a first representative embodiment, the anastomotic fitting is made up oftwo coacting parts: a) a tubular inner sleeve, which has an internal lumen of sufficient size to accommodate the external diameter of the graft vessel and an inner flange which is attached at the distal end of the inner sleeve, and b) an outer flange which has a central orifice that is sized to fit over the exterior of the inner sleeve. An adjustable locking mechanism holds the outer flange on the inner sleeve at a selected position to create a tailored degree of tissue compression at the anastomotic site.
The anastomosis procedure is performed by passing the end of the graft vessel through the inner lumen of the inner sleeve until the end of the vessel extends a short distance from the distal end of the sleeve. The


end of the graft vessel is then everted over the inner flange of the fitting to form an atraumatic attachment. A loop of suture or spikes on the outside of the inner sleeve or flange may be added to help retain the graft vessel in its everted position. The inner flange and the everted end of the graft vessel are then passed through an opening that has previously been made in the wall of the target vessel with an instrument such as an aortic punch. The opening must stretch slightly to allow the inner flange to pass through. The elastic recovery of the target vessel wall around the opening helps to create an anastomotic seal by contracting around the inner sleeve and the everted graft vessel wall. Theouter flange is then slid onto the proximal end of the inner sleeve. If the anastomosis being performed is the first anastomosis on a free graft, such as a saphenous vein graft, then the outer flange can be slid over the graft vessel from the free end. If the other end of the graft vessel is not free, such as when performing the second anastomosis of a free graft or a distal anastomosis on a pedicled graft like the LMA. then the outer flange should be back loaded onto the graft vessel or preloaded onto the proximal end of the inner sleeve before the end of the graft vessel is attached to the inner flange of the fitting. The outer flange is slid down the inner sleeve until


it contacts the exterior wall of the target vessel. A tailored amount of compression is applied to the anastomosis and the locking mechanism is engaged to complete the anastomosis.
A second representative embodiment of the anastomotic fitting has an expanding inner flange which facilitates the atraumatic attachment of the graft vessel to the fitting and makes it easier to pass the inner flange and the everted graft vessel through the opening in the target vessel wall. The graft vessel is passed through an internal lumen of an inner sleeve which has the expandable inner flange attached at its distal end. The end of the graft vessel is everted over the unexpanded inner flange. The inner flange and the everted end of the graft vessel are passed through the openingin the target vessel wall. Once the inner flange of the fitting is in the lumen of the target vessel, it is expanded to a diameter which is significantly larger than the opening in the target vessel wall. Then an outer flange is applied and locked into a selected position on the inner sleeve as described above to complete the anastomosis.
Different mechanisms are disclosed to accomplish the expansion of the inner flange. In a first variant of the expanding inner flange, the flange and a portion of the inner sleeve are slotted to create multiple fingers which are initially collapsed inward toward the center of the sleeve. A second inner sleeve is slidably received within the slotted inner sleeve. The graft vessel is inserted through the internal lumen


of both sleeves and everted over the collapsed fingers of the flange. The collapsed flange is inserted through the opening in the target vessel. Then, the second inner sleeve is slid distally within the slotted inner sleeve. The second inner sleeve forces the fingers outward, expanding the flange within the target vessel. The anastomosis is completed by applying the outer flange to the fitting as described above.
A second variant of the expanding inner flange has a slotted inner sleeve with multiple fingers that are oriented essentially longitudinally to the inner sleeve. Each of the fingers has a bend in it to predispose it to bend outward at the middle when under longitudinal compression. A tubular forming tool slidably received within the slotted sleeve is crenellated with multiple radiallyextending tabs. The radially extending tabs engage the distal ends of the fingers of the slotted inner sleeve. The anastomosis is performed by passing the graft vessel through the internal lumen of the fitting and everting it over the fingers. If desired, a loop of suture can be used to hold the everted vessel in place. The fingers of the fitting and the everted end of the graft vessel are inserted through an opening in the target vessel wall. When the tubular forming tool is slid proximally with respect to the slotted inner sleeve, the radially extending tabs bear against the distal ends of the fingers, compressing them longitudinally. The fingers bow outward, folding at the bend to expand and create an inner flange which engages the inner


The anastomosis is performed by passing the graft vessel through the internal lumen of the inner sleeve and everting it over the inner flange. The inner flange and the everted end of the graft vessel are inserted through an opening in the wall of the target vessel. Then, the outer flange is deformed against the exterior surface of the target vessel wall with a tailored degree of tissue compression to complete the anastomosis. Two variants of the deformable outer flange are disclosed. The first variant has an outer flange that is divided into flange segments. The flange segments are attached to the inner sleeve by deformable hinges. The second variant has an outer flange in the form of a deformable hollow body. The hollow body is deformed againstan anastomosis device which has a ring or flange to which the graft vessel attaches, typically by everting the graft vessel over the distal end of the ring. The ring or flange resides on the exterior of the graft vessel so that it does not contact the blood flow path. A plurality of staple-like members attach the ring and the everted end of the graft vessel to the wall of the target vessel, which may be the aorta, a coronary artery or other vessel. An opening is created in the target vessel wall with an aortic punch or similar instrument to allow the target vessel lumen to communicate with the graft vessel lumen. The opening in the target vessel wall can be made before or after the device


has been attached, depending on the application technique employed. In most of the examples disclosed, the staple members pierce the everted wall of the graft vessel and the wall of the target vessel to hold the two vessels together. Alternatively, the staple members may enter the lumen of the target vessel through the opening in the wall and then pierce the wall of the target vessel in the reverse direction. This variation pins together the vascular layers in the target vessel at the cut edge, potentially reducing the incidence of hemodynamically generated dissections in the wall of the target vessel.
Various configurations of the invention are disclosed which all exhibit the unifying characteristics of a cooperating ring or flange and a plurality of staple members. A first exemplary embodimentand mechanism of enamel formation in the early and late maturation periods differ significantly: the former is associated with the establishment of enamel prisms and the subsequent growth of their crystallites, the latter is marked by the rapid appearance of the interprismatic matrix and a shift in micromechanical properties by which, about a month prior to tooth eruption, the enamel achieves the hardeness values characterizing the adult tooth crown; (c) a rapid decrease in crystallite microstrain at the latter stage suggests that the initial organization of prismatic enamel might produce a considerable amount of structural defects that are either repaired by the subsequent growth of crystallites and/or entirely compensated by the interprismatic matrix, crystallizing at that time; and (d) early maturation producing radial prismatic enamel and late maturation


The Play(ing)'s The Thing

While most football players spend halftime concerning themselves with the coaches' X's and O's, Plantation High School sophomore Kevin Marley worried about treble clefs and half notes.

Marley, a 6-foot, 220-pound offensive and defensive lineman, recently helped the Colonels' reach the regional semifinals before losing 17-7 to Miami Carol City. He also helped his school's marching band receive an excellent rating at the Florida Bandmasters Association competition.

"It felt kind of weird to go out there in my football uniform," said Marley, who would take off his helmet and shoulder pads before playing the French horn and the mellophone for the Colonels' band at halftime. "I stood out really bad. The band wears blue and white and I would be wearing solid red. It was kind ofawkward to be out there where everyone could see me, but I just played and went with the flow."

What made it even more uncomfortable for Marley was that he played two solos -- including one to the Beatles' Let it Be.

"What was gratifying," Marley added, "was after I played my solo and the crowd would clap, they knew it was me and I did belong there."

Football coach Frank Hepler and band director James Martin formulated a schedule allowing Marley to participate in both activities. Marley would leave football practice early on Tuesdays and stay until 6:30 p.m. with the band.

It was more difficult during the summer when the band and football team were practicing on the same day. Marley would start with the football team for the morning


of the two-a-days and then head over to the band rehearsal. He would grab lunch with the football team at the school and then go back for afternoon practice.

Martin, who was Marley's band teacher at Bair Middle School in Sunrise, is in his first year as band director at Plantation.

"Kevin is incredibly self-motivated," Martin said. "I remember one time where he came off the field [and] had a bag of ice on his ankle. I told him he didn't have to march that night, and he said he would."

As the season wore on, Martin was afraid he would lose Marley full time.

"When the football team kept winning I thought I'd lose him," Martin said. "You could see he was becoming torn. I told him I wouldn't hate himif he left [the band], but I'd like him more if he stayed. He never once said, `I want to quit.' He's a great kid and the best French horn player we have. I wish I could clone him."

Hepler has been coaching football at the school for the past 20 years -- including the past 12 as head coach of the Colonels. When coaching at Barron Collier in Naples, Hepler said he saw four players put down their shoulder pads and helmets and pick up musical instruments.

"I thought that was kind of neat," Hepler said. "I always try and work with the kids."

Hepler said Marley was a scout team defensive lineman this season, but figures in his plans for next year. The Colonels graduated 20 seniors -- including


three offensive linemen and two defensive linemen -- so Hepler hopes Marley can step in.

"Kevin is such an excellent kid," Hepler said. "He's got good potential to help us on both sides of the ball and he has made every effort to be a good football player."

Since Marley wasn't a starter, Hepler said it was easier to split time in football and band.

"If he still wants to do both down the road and he is a major contributor for us, then we'll cross that bridge when we come to it. Kevin is representing us well in both activities. When he's a senior and if he has a chance at a scholarship, he may have to decide," Hepler said.

Marley said it was tough doing both jobs on the field.

"IIf the idea is put into practice, then from the start of 2019 the governing body will instead hold a joint get-together with drivers and team managers on a Thursday before track action gets underway.

At the moment, the team managers meet with the FIA on Thursday afternoons before the start of the race weekend in order to discuss track changes and any issues from the previous race.

The drivers join the team managers for a separate Friday session after the first day of practice, ostensibly so that they can give the FIA feedback on the circuit, and so on.

Sometimes that gathering morphs into a meeting of the Grand Prix Drivers’ Association (GPDA) after the team managers leave.

Speaking about the possibility of bringing an end to the drivers’ briefing, F1

Influenza-associated delays in patient throughput and premature patient departure in emergency departments in New South Wales, Australia: A time series analysis.
Influenza outbreaks cause overcrowding in EDs. We aimed to quantify the impact of influenza on the National Emergency Access Targets and premature patient departure in New South Wales, Australia. This was a retrospective observational study of 11 million presentations to 115 hospitals during 2010-2014, using routinely collected administrative records. A time series generalised additive regression model was used to assess the correlation between weekly influenza activity and the weekly proportion of patients leaving the ED in >4 h and the proportion that departed before commencing or completing treatment ('did not wait'), after controlling for background winter and holiday effects. During 2011-2014, peak annual circulating influenza was associated withLONDON (Thomson Reuters Foundation) - Mauritania has vowed to ramp up its fight against slavery, becoming the second African country to approve a United Nations treaty designed to give countries the legal muscle to combat forced labor and trafficking.

Slavery is a historical practice in Mauritania and both adults and their children are the property of their masters.

The Haratin, who make up the main “slave caste”, are descended from black African ethnic groups along the Senegal river. They often work as cattle herders and domestic servants.

The West African country has the highest prevalence of slavery, according to the Global Slavery Index, which estimates that 4 percent of the population - or some 150,000 people - are living as slaves.

the regulatory system each has put into place, Mr. Nadelmann says. For example: California, the first state to pass the law, has the least developed system in place, leaving regulation to individual cities.

As a result, California has seen scattershot court rulings and federal involvement. In July, the Los Angeles City Council decided to close down most of the city’s storefront medical marijuana shops because it said their proliferation has made them too difficult to control. The city estimates that with 750 shops officially in operation and 200 more known to exist, it has more retailers selling marijuana than any other city in the United States.

Medical marijuana advocates launched lawsuits to block the ban, saying it was unconstitutional, which prompted the city to rescind the ban in October. Bothcity officials and advocates are appealing to the state for guidance on how to navigate inadequacies of state law regarding how to govern the market. The situation follows almost a year of Justice Department raids against some city marijuana shops that it says are fronts for drug traffickers.

However, Mr. Sabet says, the more states get involved in attempting to regulate the voter-approved marijuana market – whether for medical or recreation purposes – “the more they get in violation of the federal law.” That may pose an incentive to stall.

One thing is certain: Colorado and Washington are in a “wait and see” moment in reading the smoke signals from the Justice Department about next steps.

For angioplasty, a patient has a catheter inserted into an arm or groin that reaches an artery. A balloon at the end of the catheter inflates to expand the artery and open up the blockage.

Open heart surgery, on the other hand, is a procedure that creates a bypass around coronary blockages to open up a new pathway for blood to the heart.

The researchers analyzed data for patients with multivessel coronary artery disease from The Society of Thoracic Surgeons National Database and the American College of Cardiology Foundation National Cardiovascular Data Registry.

They found patients who received angioplasty also had lower hospital readmission and revascularization rates than those who received stents.

Growing Up in Latrobe

Fred Rogers grew up in Latrobe, Pennsylvania, a small town tucked between the western-most ridge of the Allegheny Mountains and the Pittsburgh region. It is a community heavily influenced by the Rogers family, which exemplified the strong, hard-working, and faith-driven culture of Western Pennsylvania. Fred always loved Latrobe, which became the basis for the television neighborhood he later created. His father, James Hillis Rogers, was a very successful businessman who was respected and relied upon by many of the local residents.

Fred’s beloved mother, Nancy McFeely Rogers, was the daughter of a similarly successful businessman. The whole family was steeped in a strong sense of service and strong ties to community, friends, and relatives. These values remained with Fred throughout his life and became a


part of the motivation for his selection of Saint Vincent College in Latrobe as the base for the Fred Rogers Center.

For a time, Fred Rogers’ childhood was difficult. He was overweight, somewhat shy, and introverted. Although respiratory ailments were not uncommon among children in the heavy-industry environment of Western Pennsylvania, Fred was sometimes homebound because of his childhood asthma, even kept inside in air-conditioning during the worst air congestion of the summer months. He felt his childhood isolation—physical and emotional—acutely in ways that build the depth of sensitivity and empathy that characterized his life and work as an adult. Grown-ups who noticed his sensitivity as a child advised him: “Just don’t let on you care, then nobody will bother you.” But young Fred did care—enormously—and he ended uptaking great solace, and guidance, from his maternal grandfather.

That first Mr. McFeely—the namesake for the character later made famous on Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood—patiently taught Fred to have a sense of self-esteem:

Freddie, you make my day very special.

Fred’s own sense of loneliness and self-doubt taught him to be aware of the insecurities and needs of small children. What he learned about himself and life as a child—much of it from his loving grandfather—prepared him to help millions of young children later. By the time Fred got to high school, he had become more confident and capable. He had developed into an accomplished student and musician, and his popularity grew. He was elected president of the student council in his senior year.

The proposed study leverages and promotes ongoing partnerships among researchers at the Gillings School of Global Public Health at the University of North Carolina and the University of Juarez in the State of Durango, Mexico. The investigative team includes toxicogenomicists, epidemiologists, biochemical toxicologists, clinicians and biostatisticians from both countries. The study benefits from oversight from the U.S.-Mexico Binational Center in Arizona. Data derived from this study will elucidate insights into mechanisms that associate in utero arsenic exposure with potentially long-lasting epigenetic effects that may underlie disease later in life.Evolution of morphogenesis in 360-million-year-old conodont chordates calibrated in days.

The second unit attaches to the bottom of the first unit in a hanging or dependent fashion and is closed at the bottom and sides but open at the top. Because the second unit is open at its top end, the bottom wall of the first unit to which the second unit is attached, serves as the closure for the top of the second unit. There is no means provided for closing the top end of the second unit when it is detached from the first unit.
Disadvantageously, because the second unit's access is only through its open top, in order for a person to access the second unit's interior, the second unit must beand requires use of both hands. Accordingly, attachment and detachment of the first and second units of the '903 lacks speed and efficiency.

The top compartment is connected to the bottom compartment by a suitable connection means such as a zipper. While attached to the top compartment, the bottom compartment remains open at its top. The bottom compartment having an open top while attached to the top compartment is disadvantageous for a few reasons. First, for example, if the bottom compartment inadvertently becomes either partially or fully detached from the top compartment, items contained therein can fall out and become lost. Second, because the bottom compartment remains open at its

The Führer’s lavish guest house

In an extensive research effort the art historian Imma Walderdorff investigated the Nazi past of Klessheim Palace, unearthing hitherto unknown facts and making an important contribution to provenance research.

Klessheim Palace in Salzburg owes a great deal of its current appearance to conversions made during the period of National Socialism (NS). Upon instructions from Adolf Hitler, it underwent state-of-the-art refurbishment to serve as a prestigious “guest house of the Führer”. In the process, the interior of the former Baroque hunting lodge was decorated opulently in line with Naziof eagles crowned the entrance gates, for instance, and the palace had its own railway station. All Nazi luminaries came together at Klessheim, and it was there that Hitler received like-minded politicians such as Benito Mussolini, Ion Antonescu from Romania or the “Regent of the Kingdom of Hungary” Miklós Horthy.

In her effort to gather comprehensive data on the history of the palace, Imma Walderdorff vetted international archives in Berlin, Koblenz, Munich, Paris and Washington, talked to knowledgeable interlocutors such as descendants of artists involved and inspected holdings in the inventory of the Land of Salzburg the current owner of the palace. She also received assistance from provenance researchers worldwide (including from the USA, Germany, Poland, Czech Republic, France), making surprising discoveries in the process. She learned, among other
