ONE of our political scientists has expressed support for the concept of coalitions, even suggesting that it is now the norm in many countries. I beg to differ. In my view no political party would go into a coalition if it had any alternative. This is why coalitions are invariably formed after an election, if no one party wins a sufficient number of seats or votes to form a Government on its own.
There are exceptions – such as in Trinidad and Tobago with formation of the People's Partnership. Let us be realistic; the only reason that the Partnership was formed was that it was judged that this was the safest way of defeating the People's National Movement (PNM) or, more specifically, the only way of getting Patrick Manning out of power.
There are many issues on which, if political parties are to remain true to their ideals, there can be no compromise if the parties in the coalition have fundamentally different views. Suppose one party in a coalition believes that there should be a tunnel to Maracas, and another party believes that there should not be a tunnel, is the compromise to be to build the tunnel half way through the mountain? It is only by giving such absurdities that one can dramatise the issue of coalitions. The same may apply to the death penalty or abortion. There may be more subtle issues such as the degree of Government intervention in the economy or private vs public sector involvement in the health services.
In Canada there is no private medicine but in Trinidad and Tobago the poor condition of Government health services means that private medical services predominate. Anyone who can afford to do so will use private medical services. Recent announcements by the Minister of Health suggest that the People's Partnership Government is moving further towards private health services. The Minister has announced that the Government will provide the land for the private sector to set up health centres of excellence and the Government will buy services!
Presumably these private centres of excellence will also be able to provide services to private patients. Why should the Government subsidise (by providing land) private services to high income earners? Could a movement for social justice be part of a government that promotes such a system? What of the charges for the services provided to the Government? Will there be "price control" on these? Health care is now a basic service which even right wing political movements support to be provided by governments –certainly in Europe and Canada.
I never cease to be amazed at the sums of taxpayers' money that are paid in lawyers' fees to obtain legal advice for the Government in this country. My understanding of our Constitution is that the Attorney General and the Solicitor General are mandated to provide legal advice for Government. Surely if they are worthy of "silk" they must be competent enough to provide legal advice themselves! Is this another service which is being privatised?
I do not consider the skirmishes between the United National Congress (UNC) and the COP on "poaching" of members to be of any great political significance. Which party holds the office of Mayor is also of little consequence if the agreed policies are being pursued.
Of greater importance are issues such as economic policy and the extent of state involvement in governance. The Minister of Finance was until recently the political leader of the COP and I have not yet heard any significant difference in economic policy set out by the new leader.
With respect to COP policy there has been no indication of an increase in the very low rate of income tax in spite of the widening gap between rich and poor in this country. This is happening in many other countries but the difference is that while there is much discussion of this issue worldwide there is no discussion of this within the partnership. In Britain with a Conservative government in power the top rate of income tax has just been reduced from 50 per cent to 45 per cent compared to 25 per cent in Trinidad and Tobago! Do the Movement for Social Justice (MSJ) and the COP agree on the necessary rate of income tax?
Another important issue which Michael Harris has written on this week (Express March 26) is that of local government. The Manifesto of the People's Partnership for the 2010 election and that of the COP for the 2007 elections both emphasised the importance of local government yet during the almost two years of the Partnership Government there has been no action to implement these manifesto promises.
Do the parties in the Partnership agree on local government reform? Are compromises possible? In spite of all the talk of "power to the people" the greatest possibility for involvement of the people in governance (through strong local government) is being ignored.
In my view the MSJ and the COP can hardly continue to accept this inaction on the part of the Partnership Government on reform of local government. I am surprised at the lack of comments on this issue by the COP and the MSJ. Surely this is of much greater significance than "poaching" of membership!
In conclusion it is my opinion that coalitions are not a new form of governance but are marriages of convenience that last only so long as each party sees some advantage of the arrangement for being in power while not compromising principles. I do not see the MSJ staying in the Partnership; the COP may stay longer since its policies on the economy and on local government seem to be close to those of the UNC.

On August 15, 1774, King Louis XVI makes a wonderful gift to his wife Marie-Antoinette : The Petit Trianon. At Trianon, Marie-Antoinette created a haven of intimacy that allowed her to escape the etiquette. She indulged her taste for country-style patterns and pastel colors.
Following the example of the Prince de Condé in Chantilly, Marie-Antoinette wanted to have her own little village to enjoy the pleasures of the countryside with her children. Her aspiration for a rural paradise is somewhat a result of Enlightenment. The Queen had her Hameau built in Versailles in 1783, going against the traditions of the old Royal Court.

No, I don't believe its "trolltastic", after watching the games so far this season, I could actually see a newspaper header like that. Believe me, I am a fan but, sometimes people just need to say what they're really feeling. I'm just venting!
I saw a bumper sticker the other day that totally depicts our society these days...
Sensitivity handcuffed America
so true, can't say anything anymore without hurting someone's feelings
cant tell someone that they aren't good at their job without possible repercussions of them suing
list goes on and on, and you can see it in forums as well.
But, it got your attention and you commented, so I would say it worked
No one's feelings are hurt, they're just pointing out that the thread doesn't promote constructive discussion.

Big endorsement for Bush!
The head of Iran's security council said on Tuesday the re-election of President Bush was in Tehran's best interests, despite the administration's axis of evil label, accusations that Iran harbors al-Qaida terrorists and threats of sanctions over the country's nuclear ambitions.
Historically, Democrats have harmed Iran more than Republicans, said Hasan Rowhani, head of the Supreme National Security Council, Iran's top security decision-making body.
"We haven't seen anything good from Democrats," Rowhani told state-run television in remarks that, for the first time in recent decades, saw Iran openly supporting one U.S. presidential candidate over another.
"We should not forget that most sanctions and economic pressures were imposed on Iran during the time of Clinton," Rowhani said of the former Democratic president. "And we should not forget that during Bush's era _ despite his hard-line and baseless rhetoric against Iran _ he didn't take, in practical terms, any dangerous action against Iran."
Though Iran generally does not publicly wade into U.S. presidential politics, it has a history of preferring Republicans over Democrats, who tend to press human rights issues.
More at link.
Yeah, historically, Republican presidents have had a hard time finding any dictators they didn't like...

My order from Butiki Teas arrived today. I wasn’t going to place an order because the teas that I order are teas that I review (as well as teas sent to me for review) and really, since Butiki Teas is closing soon, I didn’t figure that Stacy was looking for SororiTea Sisters reviews.
However, when I saw the announcement for the Lime Marshmallow tea I couldn’t stand it and I knew I had to try it. I already missed out on the smoky banana one and I didn’t want to miss out on trying the Lime Marshmallow. And that tea looked woefully lonely in the cart all by itself so I added a couple of other teas.
And yeah, i’ll review them eventually on SororiTea Sisters because that’s what I do: Drink, Write, Repeat.
This is actually really quite good. I was a little disappointed at first because I wasn’t getting a strong chocolate-y flavor that I want. (I always want more chocolate.) There is a nice amount of spice – it’s peppery and it provides a swift kick to the palate but it isn’t an overwhelming HOT sensation. I feel the tingle and the burn in the back of the throat from the pepper but it isn’t so hot that I feel like I need to find something to tame the heat.
And the chocolate is coming through. If I were to offer any complaint, it would be that it needs more chocolate. (Again, please refer to my simple scientific equation: more chocolate = better.) But, there is a nice balance between sweet chocolate and spicy chili here. And the black tea base is sweet, I taste light notes of honey that stay through the aftertaste. Nice. It’s a really pleasant black tea, it’s strong enough to be tasted amid notes of chocolate and chili.
Overall, this gets a yum from me. I’m happy that I put this in the cart.

Mental health is a complicated subject. It is simple to get misled and unsure about its effects. Mental health concerns are stigmatized. This stigma stops people from receiving the assistance they require.
What is clear is that everyone’s mental health matters. The best way to eliminate the stigma is to learn everything you can about it. The simplest approach to do so is to debunk some of the most common myths associated with mental illness.
1. People with mental issues are “crazy”
Simply said, having a mental disease doesn’t indicate that you are “crazy.” It means that you are vulnerable. It suggests you have a disease with difficult symptoms, similar to someone with diabetes. While mental illness may affect your thinking, disrupt your moods, or distort your perception of reality, it doesn’t mean that you are “crazy.” It signifies you are human and, like everyone else, are prone to health issues.
2. Mental issues are not true diseases
The terminology that is used to characterize mental diseases has evolved significantly throughout time. What hasn’t changed is that mental diseases aren’t just part of life’s ups and downs. Mental diseases cause suffering, don’t resolve themselves and are serious health issues that require effective treatments.
3. Mental health issues are an indication of weakness
This is as false as suggesting that a broken limb indicates weakness. Mental health issues are diseases, not flaws of character. People suffering from depression, for example, can’t “snap out of it,” any more than someone suffering from diabetes or psoriasis can. Fighting a mental illness requires a lot of strength.
4. Mental health struggles can’t be managed
Even though it is natural to experience difficulties, you do not have to suffer. There are effective remedies if your symptoms prevent you from achieving your objectives or functioning in daily life. Professional psychotherapy may be part of the answer for some. Self-care and coping skills might provide respite for others. What is most important is that you feel empowered to take action to promote your mental health.
5. People who have mental issues are aggressive and dangerous
Many people with mental issues are no more likely to be aggressive than anyone else. In most cases. Mental issues don’t make people aggressive, and only 3%-5% of violent acts may be linked to those with serious mental illnesses. In fact, those with serious mental disorders are more than ten times more likely than the average population to be victims of violence and crime.
6. People are born with mental health issues
Certain mental diseases, such as bipolar mood disorder, can run in families. Others, however, acquire mental illnesses with no family history. Many circumstances can lead to the development of mental disease. Stress, grief, marital breakup, unemployment, social isolation, a significant physical disease, physical and sexual abuse, or disability are examples of these.
7. Children and teenagers don’t have mental health issues
According to research, one in every five youngsters has or will have a mental condition. The earliest indicators of a mental health problem appeared before the age of 14 in 50% of individuals. These issues are not always caused by poor parenting. They are the result of a variety of causes. Many of these factors are beyond the control of the kid or parents. Childhood trauma can contribute to mental health problems in both teenagers and adults.
8. Nothing can prevent mental health issues
People can prevent mental health disorders with the help of:
- Improving their social and emotional abilities
- Asking for assistance and support at a young age
- Creating warm, caring, and supporting family connections
- Attending positive schools
- Maintaining appropriate sleep schedules
The capacity to overcome adversity is dependent on a mix of protective factors, and neither environmental nor individual stresses will result in mental health problems on their own.

The news comes a day after the media company canceled the premiere of “The Interview” – a comedy movie that depicts an assassination plot on North Korean dictator Kim Jong UN – and its entire Christmas Day release in cinemas across the country amid threats of 9/11-like attacks on theaters.
It all began on November 24 when emails between Sony employees, information about executive salaries at the company, copies of unreleased films, and other information were obtained and released by a group of hackers who go by the name of “Guardians of Peace” (GOP).
Though it was initially alleged that the troublemakers probably belonged to North Korea and the cyber attack was a backlash to The Interview, one of the hacked movies, those rumors were soon discarded after the hermit kingdom denied any involvement in it. Now, considering U.S. officials’ latest concerns, it seems the old speculation is back on the menu.
However, is it really possible?
How can one single movie, an action- comedy for that matter, cause so much trouble? Aren’t threats of violence reminiscent of 9/11 attacks a bit too extreme? And as far as pulling The Interview from cinemas seems understandable, why would Sony not release it on VOD, DVD or any other platform? Although these questions might sound like conspiracy theories right now, they are legitimate nevertheless.
While there are many important things to have come out of the Sony cyberattack – such as Hollywood racism – there is a lot more than comes to mind when you think about it more carefully. For example:
Can North Korea really pull off such a massive hack?
Are we not giving North Korea a little too much credit for carrying out such an incredible cybercrime?
After all, the same people who are now accusing it of hacking Sony Pictures have been telling us all along that the hermit kingdom lacks all kinds of modern technological equipment to do anything significant.
North Korea has been described as the world’s worst Internet black hole. Internet access is illegal in the country with the exception of a few government officials. The rest of the citizens use the state-owned network called Kwangmyong.
In fact, it was reported sometime in March 2013 that for most North Koreans, online access doesn't exist.
Remember this picture of Kim Jong Un that the entire Western world made fun of because of the outdated consumer desktop keyboard and the Logitech mouse?
Just how can we expect these guys to pull of such a tremendous Internet hack?
But then again, this is just a theory and it could be that these guys are not as old school as we like to think.
It’s not the first time Kim Jong Un has been parodied
Threats of 9/11 like attacks, while serious, do not make sense at all. It’s not as if it’s the first time Kim Jong Un has been at the end of a joke.
Last year, the North Korean leader’s face went viral after it was photoshopped as a cartoon character from Disney movie UP. Also, hacktivst group Anonymous branded Kim as a wanted pig after hacking North Korea’s social network accounts.
Hong Kong even has a famous doppelganger of Kim and no one – quite thankfully – has ever threatened to attack him.
Then why now? Why this movie? Why James Franco and Seth Rogen?
It could be a publicity stunt by Sony or “The Interview” creators
It may sound like a shower thought but it is something that we’re all thinking but not saying out loud.
Although the hack has highlighted Sony’s poor cybersecurity system and incompetency of officials, it has brought a lot of attention to all the movies slated for release – especially The Interview.
It may be a far-fetched speculation considering the scandal could cost the company almost $100 million, it’s still a possibility. At least for Rogen, it’s helped in promoting the movie without promoting it. As Huffington Post’s Jillian Berman stated in her article titled, “For 'The Interview,' Even Negative Publicity (Like A Massive Sony Hack) Is Good Publicity”:
“[The cyberattack] has also brought a lot of attention to "The Interview," the movie starring Seth Rogen and James Franco that some say prompted the hack. The film, due for release on Christmas Day, has become the topic of countless news stories and social media chatter, likely widening the movie's potential audience.”
Also, the abrupt decision to cancel VOD and DVD release further adds to this rumor that The Interview creators are trying to increase demand for the movie.
While it’s all very confusing and only time will reveal the real story behind the scenes, the GOP hackers have again threatened with more leaks in the coming days as a “huge Christmas gift of secrets.”
Brace yourself Hollywood!

Gene-Edited Foods Will Be a Top 2020 Topic
The new year invites new trends to every industry, including film, politics, technology — and even food.
According to Washington Post’s Year in Preview, gene-edited foods will be a hot topic in 2020 as consumers and regulators alike become more familiar with the food of the future. From non-bruising potatoes to faster growing tomatoes, the use of gene editing in the food industry will be vital to reducing waste and helping crops quickly adapt to climate change.

Tom Hiddleston was all happy and smiles while heading to make an appearance at The Late Show With Stephen Colbert!
The 38-year-old actor was sighted heading into his way into the studio on Monday afternoon (September 16) at the Ed Sullivan Theatre in New York City.
Tom is nowadays making his Broadway debut while featuring in production of Betrayal, which formerly had a sold-out run on London’s West End.
The play was initially inspired by Harold Pinter‘s clandestine adulterous affair with BBC Television presenter Joan Bakewell, which went on for seven years, from 1962 to 1969.
The play is running along from December 8th at the Bernard B. Jacobs Theatre.
Tom Hiddleston’s Broadway debut in Betrayal is getting a lot of buzzes, but one review certainly on another level. According to a post on the All That Chat message board, an audience member reportedly had a very intimate time at the show last Wednesday. The review, which is assured to make you redeem, even has Chris Pratt praising the Loki actor.
In fact, what the basically talks about is a female member in the audience who decided to pleasure herself while the play went on.
Well, none of you saw that coming well neither did us!
Well, needless to say, that is Loki star has the audience moaning (quite literally).
A lot of actors in the industry are taking their respective turns to take comments on this review. Chris Pratt is one of his ever so witty replies called the kid ” pretty damn good review”
The woman, in her 30s, had begun in a kissing scene with Hiddleston, 38, and his co-star and lover Zawe Ashton. A show spokesman recently remarked: ‘You might want to avoid seat B3.’

The Bob’s Burgers Movie has overcome many hurdles to get to our screens. The quirky animated sitcom has survived the Disney takeover of 20th Century Fox and a global pandemic to be released in cinemas, at a time when most animated movies have gone to streaming.
Like The Simpsons Movie 15 years ago, it plays like a feature length version of the show. H Jon Benjamin voices Bob Belcher, a middle-aged, married father of three who has big dreams for his small burger restaurant. Sadly they always seem to be hampered by the eccentricities of those around him.
The movie sees Bob’s hopes for the summer jeopardised by a sinkhole appearing outside his eatery, leaving him and his wife Linda (John Roberts) in financial peril while his precocious kids investigate a mystery.
Anyone who’s watched an episode of the show will know exactly what to expect – big hearted comedy featuring a family of misfits that, in their own way, feel more authentic than most live action dramas. While it doesn’t top the show’s finest moments, it’s a showcase for why it has lasted for over a decade.
While the show’s many running jokes are there to reward fans (Bob talking to his burgers, Linda bursting into rambling show tunes), newbies won’t need long to get into the rhythm. Characters like skittish teen daughter Tina (David Mintz) or Bob’s dismissive landlord Mr Fischoeder (Kevin Kline) are polished parodies of real-life archetypes that will be instantly recognisable. Unlike many of its contemporaries, the show hasn’t hardened with age, still finding joy and laughter in relatively innocent misadventures.
Let’s face it: it’s unlikely that many will head into The Bob’s Burgers Movie having never seen the cartoon. This is a movie for the fans that delivers everything they could ask for, and a story that doesn’t lose anything through an extended running time.
The Bob’s Burgers Movie is in cinemas now

Director’s Desk: April 1, 2013
Kenneth Gold | April 1, 2013
The sequester was, of course, never supposed to happen. The indiscriminate cuts to spending would be so damaging that surely Congress would take some action to avoid it – except it didn’t. With the exception of certain exempted programs – military salaries, veteran’s programs, Social Security, welfare and food stamps – everything else was supposed to be subject to the meat ax. But then, predictably, one agency after another began to find ways to avoid or minimize the predicted furloughs that were to be the inevitable result of the sequester. Still, there will be some furloughs, and there will be some level of impact on government services. But not, however, on one function deemed too important to furlough even a single employee: Customs and Border protection? Air traffic controllers? FBI agents? – no, meat inspectors. After vigorous lobbying by the meat industry (including the chicken & turkey lobbies), the Agriculture Department’s meat inspection service received $55 million in new funding in order to avoid furloughing any meat inspectors for even a single day. The meat ax will cut nearly everything, but not meat production. This is not, I repeat, is not an April fool’s story – you can’t make this stuff up.

Lift Specification: Key Questions
February 15, 2010 - Contact FacilitiesNet Editorial Staff »
This is Chris Matt, Managing Editor of Print & E-Media, with Maintenance Solutions magazine. Today's tip is asking the right questions during lift specification.
Whether a maintenance task involves the one-time use of lift equipment or a longer-term commitment, selecting the right product requires managers to answer a series of important questions, such as:
- How many technicians does the equipment need to lift for the task, and how much material?
- What load capacity, platform space and utility access does the task require?
- How far vertically and horizontally do technicians need to reach?
- Do they need to reach over and down or rotate materials or components?
- How will operators transport the lift? Is it a wheeled or tracked self-propelled unit? Does it need a trailer, or a pick-up truck, or a forklift?
- Will the lift operate and be stored in one location?
- Will operators need to move the lift over uneven surfaces?
- Does the task call for a lift with leveling capability or load analysis?
- How wide and high are access points?
- Does the task call for alternating-current or direct-current electricity, or gas, propane or diesel fuel?
- Will technicians need to work over immovable objects, such as ramps, steps, auditorium seats, or roofs?

The Guyana Prison Service on Tuesday received a speed boat which will aid in the transportation of inmates from the Mazaruni Prison in Region Seven (Cuyuni-Mazaruni). At the handing over ceremony at the Guyana National Industrial Corporation (GNIC) wharf on Lombard Street, Georgetown, Director of Prisons, Gladwin Samuels told the media that the boat will play a critical role in transporting prisoners to and from the prison, especially for medical attention. GNIC constructed the boat which cost just over $10.9 million.
Meanwhile, Samuels added that with the addition of the vessel to the Mazaruni Prison, it will significantly boost the capacity and capabilities as it relates to responding to emergencies. “There are times as well when we have high profile prisoners to escort to the Hospital and we would like to do so as quickly as possible,” Samuels said.
He added that the vessel will be able to facilitate two captains and 12 passengers, noting that he is looking forward to more boats being added to the present fleet of two.
Samuels said the project was divided into two lots, which saw $5.5 million being spent to construct the vessel and over $1 million being spent to procure two 200 horse power engines in lots one and two respectively.
Meanwhile, the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of GNIC, Clinton Williams explained how grateful the company is to have been given the opportunity to construct the vessel, as it was a perfect chance to show those in the oil and gas sector that Guyanese are competent in this regard.
“These days, they are talking a lot about local content in the oil and gas sector and marine transportation is critical in relation to the needs that are required by this particular organisation and the various users. We want to signal to the oil companies that they have capability in Guyana and capacity to deliver in this regard,” Williams pointed out.
Following the July 2017 jailbreak and fire which destroyed the Camp Street Prison, Government revealed plans to expand the Mazaruni Prison – a project which was expected to cost some $2 billion but aimed to streamline the local prison system and most importantly, reduce overcrowding.
Samuels noted that phase one of the project is on stream and should be completed before the end of the year. This, when completed, will facilitate an extra 200 prisoners at the facility.

Purpose: To analyze how research is reported in journal publications as a potential barrier to use of research findings in practice.
Design: Content analysis of 46 reports of diabetes self-management interventions published between 1993 and 2004.
Methods: Data were extracted from the publications using a coding scheme based on concepts from Rogers' theory of the diffusion of innovations.
Findings: Authors provided only some of the information potential users need to progress through Roger's stages of adopting an intervention and implementing it in practice. Authors provided only limited information on the target population; frequency, number, and duration of patient contacts; expertise and training required to deliver the intervention; intervention protocol; and the process of adapting and implementing interventions in practice settings.
Conclusions: To close the gap between research and practice, authors should offer more information to help readers decide whether and how to adopt and implement interventions.

United States, Texas, Houston – 05-02-2019 (PRDistribution.com) — Thousands will walk to end pancreatic cancer, the world’s toughest cancer, at PurpleStride Houston on Saturday, May 18, 2019. The 5K walk/run community event, will take place at Houston Sports Park and is hosted by the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network (PanCAN) Houston Affiliate. Opening ceremonies take place at 8 a.m.; the walk begins at 8:30 a.m. Houston Sports Park is located at 12131 Kirby Drive, Houston, TX 77045.
Before and after the event, participants will enjoy a live rock band, complimentary refreshments, free giveaways, face painting, and games. There will be a place for survivors to gather and connect with one another as well as a “Join the Fight” tent where family and friends can honor their loved ones. PurpleStride participants are encouraged to get decked out in purple outfits, the more festive the better!
Adult timed: $30
Adult untimed: $25
Youth timed: $15
Youth untimed: $10
Pancreatic Cancer Patient/Survivor: Free
Pancreatic cancer is the third leading cause of cancer-related death in the U.S. with a five-year survival rate of just 9 percent. In order to save lives and double pancreatic cancer survival, PanCAN urges the Houston community to join PurpleStride. Funds raised through the event support critical research, clinical initiatives and patient services, including Know Your Tumor®, Precision PromiseSM, Clinical Trial Finder and the Patient Registry.
At last year’s PurpleStride Houston event, Gabe Jones, a 35-year-old lawyer, husband, father, and pancreatic cancer survivor was a featured speaker, inspiring the crowd with his incredible positivity and stoic persistence regarding his fight against pancreatic cancer.
Tragically, Gabe lost his battle a few months later, leaving behind a 5-year-old daughter and wife of 9 years, who was also his high school sweetheart. His four-year battle included a Whipple procedure, multiple rounds of chemotherapy, and other grueling treatments. He was hopeful until the end that he would beat this monstrous disease.
Each year since his diagnosis in 2014, Gabe inspired friends, family and coworkers to participate in PurpleStride. His memory will be very alive at this year’s PurpleStride as his team once again commits to helping to end pancreatic cancer.
By participating in Purplestride. Houstonians can join the cause in honor of Gabe as well as the 55,440 others estimated will be diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in the US in 2019.
PurpleStride Houston will be hosted by Natasha Geigel of Fox 26 News. The event is supported by national presenting sponsor Celgene, national gold sponsors AbbVie and Ipsen, and silver sponsor MD Anderson.

The country's largest Islamic civil rights group is suing the state of Texas over a four year old state law that requires everybody who does business with the state not to support any boycotts against the State of Israel, News Radio 1200 WOAI reports.
The language is part of a wider effort by the state to fight against what is called the BDS, or 'Boycott, Divest, Sanctions' movement which seeks to put pressure on Israel over its alleged mistreatment of people in occupied territories.T
he lawsuit was filed on behalf of an Arab American speech pathologist in the Pflugerville ISD, who was denied a contract with the state because she wouldn't not agree to the 'No Boycott of Israel' language.
Her lawyer through the Council on American Islamic Relations, Carolyn Homer, told News Radio 1200 WOAI the language is clearly a form of viewpoint discrimination.
"Throughout the civil rights movement, the Supreme Court has recognized that boycotting is a form of free speech and a form of peaceful political advocacy," Homer said.
Texas is one of 26 states which includes a 'No Boycott of Israel' clause in its contracting laws.
Governor Abbott, in a tweet Monday night, said there is no doubt that Texas will defend the law.
"Texas stands with Israel. Period." the governor tweeted.
But Homer says the law is un American."We oppose this, and we think all Americans should oppose this, because it is an attack on free speech."
The 'No Boycott of Israel' law has been problematic before, People who received state assistance following Hurricane Harvey, for example, were required to sign a statement pledging not to support any entity that boycotts Israel.
"To require any entities withing the state to support Israel and not support Palestine infringes on their free speech rights," Homer said.
But the state points out that governments routinely attach specific requirements to contractors who want to take the taxpayers money. Some, for example, require that any business that works for them has to pay its workers more than the minimum wage, or support the political positions adopted by the governing body.

Hospital CEOs, emergency department leaders gather for training in Shelbyville
More than 40 hospital CEOs and emergency department (ED) leaders from critical access hospitals (CAHs) and other rural hospitals across the state met in Shelbyville on August 9-10 to learn about ways to improve ED processes.
The two-day conference, called the Kentucky Critical Access Hospital – Excellence in Emergency Care Conference, featured interactive sessions on topics ranging from operations efficiency and opioid abuse challenges to ED culture and quality. Conference participants learned about ways to improve institutional data collection and analysis, as well as ways to provide better and more efficient care to patients.
Presenters included Stephanie Baker and Dr. Dan Smith, both from the Studer Group, one of the country’s leading outcomes-based health care performance improvement firms; Nancy Galvagni, the senior vice president of the Kentucky Hospital Association; and, Pat Teske, an implementation officer at Cynosure Health, a nonprofit organization dedicated to improving health care at the local, regional and national level.
Conference attendees came from ARH Our Lady of the Way Hospital, Baptist Health Corbin, Barbourville ARH Hospital, Breckinridge Memorial Hospital, Carroll County Memorial Hospital, Casey County Hospital, Ephraim McDowell Fort Logan Hospital, Harlan ARH Hospital, Jewish Hospital Shelbyville, Livingston Hospital & Healthcare Services, Marcum & Wallace Memorial Hospital, Marshall County Hospital, Middlesboro ARH Hospital, Ohio County Hospital, Rockcastle Regional Hospital & Respiratory Center, Russell County Hospital, Saint Joseph Berea, St. Elizabeth Grant, The Medical Center at Albany, The Medical Center at Franklin, The Medical Center at Scottsville, and Wayne County Hospital.
The event was sponsored by the Kentucky Office of Rural Health (KORH) in partnership with the Kentucky Hospital Association, and the Kentucky Hospital Research and Foundation, Inc., and was the latest of the events planned as part of the KORH-led Critical Access Substance Abuse Project (CASAP).
The one-year project, funded through the Health Resources & Services Administration’s Federal Office of Rural Health Policy, seeks to address substance-abuse issues and concerns at the hospital and community level through education and working to improve patient access to treatment options. The project also tries to better link the participating hospitals with their surrounding communities so that both can work together to meet the needs of their patients with substance-use disorders.
KORH Director Ernie Scott said the conference was a unique opportunity to bring a mix of regional and national speakers to Kentucky.
“To be able to bring speakers like Stephanie Baker and Dan Smith from the Studer Group, Nancy Galvagni from the Kentucky Hospital Association, and Pam Teske from Cynosure Health together in one setting is exciting,” Scott said. “They are top-notch, speakers and coaches in the area of improving health care performance. To have them share their knowledge and expertise — the best practices, strategies and tools being used by emergency departments across the country — with our hospital partners is truly priceless. ”
Rural Project Manager Kayla Combs, the director of the KORH’s Rural Hospital Flexibility Program and the staff member who oversees the CASAP, called the two-day event “invigorating.”
“Our four speakers demonstrated a great amount of passion for improving hospital emergency departments and enhancing the patient experience,” she said. “And, that passion was infectious. I think everyone left the conference feeling more informed and more engaged.”
The critical access hospitals participating in the CASAP include ARH Our Lady of the Way, Barbourville ARH Hospital, Ephraim McDowell Fort Logan Hospital, Marcum and Wallace Memorial Hospital, Mary Breckinridge ARH Hospital, McDowell ARH Hospital, Morgan County ARH Hospital, Ohio County Hospital, Russell County Hospital and Wayne County Hospital.
The Kentucky Office of Rural Health (KORH), established in 1991, is a federal-state partnership authorized by federal legislation. The UK Center of Excellence in Rural Health (located in Hazard) serves as the federally-designated Kentucky Office of Rural Health. The mission of the KORH is to support the health and well-being of Kentuckians by promoting access to rural health services. The program provides a framework for linking small rural communities with local, state and federal resources while working toward long-term solutions to rural health issues. The KORH assists clinicians, administrators and consumers in finding ways to improve communications, finances and access to quality healthcare while ensuring that funding agencies and policymakers are made aware of the needs of rural communities.

Rob Heathcote’s special little filly Startantes...
Trainer Chris Waller has warned rivals his 2020 The Everest favourite Nature Strip is “ready to fly” first-up in Saturday’s Group 3 $160,000 Concorde Stakes (1000m) at Randwick.
The star Nicconi six-year-old is already scaring off potential competition with the Concorde Stakes 2020 nominations attracting just six early entries on Monday.
Nature Strip ran fourth to dual The Everest champion Redzel fresh in last year’s Concorde before winning the Group 1 Moir Stakes (1000m) at The Valley.
From Sydney to Melbourne and back again, third-up he ran a very close fourth only 1.3 lengths off his winning stablemate Yes Yes Yes as a 20/1 outsider in The Everest results 2019.
The world’s richest turf race is now worth an unprecedented $15 million and Waller is tipped to take it out again, this year with Nature Strip for the TAB.
Nature Strip along with Classique Legend and fellow Concorde Stakes nominee Gytrash and the only three confirmed The Everest horses so far in 2020, the event to run at Royal Randwick on October 17.
Since last year’s The Everest race, Nature Strip has had four subsequent starts including his Group 1 VRC Classic (1200m) win down the Flemington straight last November.
His autumn consisted of a first-up fourth to Gytrash in the Group 1 Lightning Stakes (1000m) at HQ before his back-to-back Randwick wins in the Group 2 Challenge Stakes (1000m) and Group 1 TJ Smith Stakes (1200m).
Waller has trialled the classy chestnut twice ahead of his return on Saturday, Nature Strip winning back-to-back heats at Rosehill in the wet during August, and the trainer is confident he can perform better fresh in Sydney than he did when beaten at Flemington last preparation.
“He will have a gallop early this week and he’s ready to fly,” Waller told Racenet.
“The 1000 up the straight [at Flemington] is a little different to 1000 around a bend.”
He looks an imposing first-up force, and the bookies are taking no chances already installing him as the all-in odds-on favourite at $1.40 in pre-field Concorde Stakes betting at Ladbrokes.com.au.
Of his potential rivals it is Gordon Richards’ aforementioned Lightning Stakes winner Gytrash ($3.60), last seen finishing second in the Group 1 The Goodwood (1200m) at Morphettville in May, considered the most likely for an upset.
Second-up Nature Strip, reuniting with James McDonald this campaign, is set to run in the Group 2 $500,000 Premiere Stakes (1200m) back at Randwick on October 3.
As for The Everest 2020, Nature Strip is currently sitting top of the markets at $3.20.

SAVANNAH - The driver of a parade car that plowed into a crowd on St. Patrick's Day veered to avoid mowing down a bagpipe band when the convertible accelerated out of control, a friend said Thursday.
''He did everything he could to avoid hitting people,'' said Gene Hahne, who was in the parade directly behind the car when it crashed Wednesday, injuring eight people. ''There was obviously nothing that could be done to stop that car.''
John Edward Sheppard, 62, was driving the shamrock-decorated Chrysler Sebring when the car lurched from the route and into crowded Wright Square in the heart of Savannah's historic district. Sheppard was escorting members of Hahne's family, one of several Irish Savannah families that march and ride in the parade each year.
Police said Sheppard had not been drinking and suffered no health problems. Investigators were checking the car for evidence of mechanical defects that might have caused the crash.
Prosecutors have yet to decide whether to charge Sheppard, a retired Savannah contractor, in the crash.
''He's traumatized by the whole thing,'' said Hahne, who has known Sheppard since they both marched in the parade as young boys. ''Eddie did not swerve out of line except to avoid hitting those guys in the band. He saved a lot of people's lives by his quick action.''
Hahne said he suspected the car's accelerator stuck, causing it to lurch ahead as the rest of the parade crept at a walking pace.
''You don't even put your foot on the gas - you keep your foot on the brake if you're driving in the parade,'' he said.
Organizers said the crash was the first vehicle accident in the 180-year history of Savannah's ballyhooed St. Patrick's parade, billed as the second largest in the nation.
Judith Carolyn Roach, an administrative assistant to organizers of the upcoming G-8 summit of world leaders, was hurled 30 feet by the car's impact, said G-8 spokesman Evan Keefer. He said Roach, 68, was undergoing shoulder replacement surgery Thursday.
''She had a broken hand, her knee was blown out, she had a gash on the bottom of her foot and her shoulder was shattered,'' Keefer said. ''She is expected to recover. She was conscious yesterday and talking to people and laughing as much as she could.''
Three members of New Jersey's Monmouth County Police Pipes and Drums were also injured when the car passed a van and another marching group and accelerated toward the band, said manager and drummer Brian Gillespie.
''It seemed like he was trying to pass us at first,'' Gillespie said Thursday as the band headed home. ''We don't know what happened and why it happened.''
He said one band member suffered a concussion, another had knee injuries and the third sprained her ankle badly.
''They all look like they got hit by a car,'' Gillespie said.

A concert that offers three New York premieres, as the Syracuse Symphony Orchestra's program did last night at Carnegie Hall, sets up certain expectations in the listener's mind. A touch of freshness here and there, perhaps, if not an overflowing of original ideas would not be an unreasonable request. However, what the concert delivered under the baton of its music director, Christopher Keene, was a long - a very long - stroll down memory lane. All three works dealt heavily in reminiscences of musical masterworks.
John Corigliano's ''Three Hallucinations for Orchestra'' derives from his score for the Ken Russell film ''Altered States,'' in which form it probably served its purposes very well. Mr. Corigliano's handling of the orchestra is expert, and his familiarity with the symphonic literature plainly is deep. It was also apparent that two of his favorite composers are Ives and Stravinsky.
The second movement, entitled ''Hymn,'' featured such characteristically Ivesian ideas as the fortissimo chord that is cut short to disclose a solitary instrument still piping quietly away and the introduction of a folk tune - in this instance ''Rock of Ages'' - in an incongruous setting. The final movement, called ''Ritual'' turned out to be the latest in a distinguished line of ''Rite of Spring'' imitations, some of the more famous being Prokofiev's ''Scythian Suite,'' Bartok's ''The Miraculous Mandarin'' and Revueltas's ''Sensemaya.''
Claude Bolling's new piece, an exercise in unashamed imitation, might have been called ''The Rite of Swing'' or some such. In fact, however, it bore the rather imposing title of ''Baroque Suite for Chamber Orchestra and Jazz Piano Trio.''
It consisted of six interminable movements lasting more than 45 minutes in all, during which Mr. Bolling, a pianist, led a jazz concertino that included drums and amplified bass. The trio was opposed to the larger symphonic group in what must have been intended as a swinging gloss on the Baroque concerto grosso style. Actually, what happened was the usual tiresome alternation: I'll play imitation jazz for a while, then you come in with some imitation classical.
Mr. Bolling's playing was glib and technically superficial in a style that used to be known as ''tickling the ivories.'' As a composer, he showed some aptitude for remembering how Bach went about it in such works as the Brandenburg Concertos and the ''Goldberg'' Variations, but the result was rather like seeing a favorite uncle in a funhouse mirror. Not at all pleasant, let alone musically impressive.Continue reading the main story
For Calvin Custer's ''Music for Brass With Percussion,'' the third premiere of the night, Mr. Keene dismissed his string and reed sections and let the remainder of his orchestra blow off some steam. The piece began promisingly enough, with a roof-raising fanfare that the composer of ''Thus Spake Zarathustra'' might have envied.
But then it went on in the same windy vein, and on, and on. The musical content was slight, but the work sustained a bustling, energetic style that called up the ghost of Hindemith. At any rate, a glorious racket was raised, and Mr. Keene was able to demonstrate the excellence of his brass and percussion departments.
The program closed with Witold Lutoslawski's Concerto for Orchestra, a 1954 work modeled directly on Bartok's piece of the same name. It was a night for remembering, if not one to remember.

2. The convict-appellants and another moved the High Court Division in provisional jurisdiction against the judgment and order 1st dated August 22,1996 of the Court of Additional Sessions Judge, Sylhet passed in Criminal Appeal No.5 (4) of 1988 maintaining the conviction passed under Section 468 and 468/109 of the Penal Code and the Sentence of one year rigorous imprisonment and to a fine of Tk. 3000/- each in default to suffer simple Imprisonment for 6 months more passed by the Court of Upazila Magistrate, Zakiganj, Sylhet on October 10, 1988 in G. R. Case No. 53 of 1986.Prosecution Case was that convict appellants and seven (7) others in collusion with each other created two registered Muktipatras in respect of certain vested property which was leased out to different persons. The specific case of the prosecution is that appellant No. 3 shailendra Chandra Das and Several others executed and registered two Muktipatras on
February 6, 1984 and January 5, 1985 in favour of the appellant Nos. 1 and 2 and another by name Haji siddique Ahmed in respect of the land asserting the same to be the ancestral property of Hazi Siddique Ahmed and others although said land was the vested and non-resident property of the Government and the excutants of the two Muktipatras were the lessees of the said vested property and that said two Muktipatras have been created to grub the property vested in the Government.
3. In the background of the aforesaid prosecution case the appellants and 7 others were called upon to answer the charge framed under Section 468 and 468/109 of the Penal Code. The accused claimed to the innocent . On conclusion of trial the Upazila Magistrate by the judgment and order dated October 10,1988 convicted appellant Nos. 1 and 2 and nother under Section 468 read with Section 109 of the Penal Code and the appellant Nos.3 and 6 others under Section 468 of the Penal Code. The Upazila Magistrate sentenced all the convicts to 1 (one) year rigorous imprisonment and to a fine of Tk. 3000/- each, in default to suffer 6 moths simple imprisonment. On appeal, the appellate Court by the judgment and order of August 22, 1996 maintained the conviction and sentence passed by the court of Upazila Magistrate. The appellants and another as against the judgment and order of the appellate court moved the High Court Division in revisional jurisdiction but without any success.
4. The leave was granted to consider the submission of the learned Counsel of the appellants to the effect ” That the prosecution case is to the effect that the questioned Muktipatras were executed by the accused persons in their own name and on their own behalf and that there is nothing in evidence to show that the executants of the said Muktipatras impersonated themselves as somebody else to pass off as persons who actually did not execute the same in the circumstances there is a total absence of the imgredients of the offence of forgery as defined in sections 463 and 464 of the Penal Code and so the High Court Division fell into a gave error of law in upholding the conviction and sentence of the petitioners under sections 468/109 of the Penal Code”
5. Forgery has been defined in Section 463 of the Penal Code which reads as : ” Whoever makes any false document or part of a document with intent to cause damage or injury, to the public or to any person or to support any claim or title, or to cause any person to part with property, or to enter into any express or implied contract, or with intent to commit fraud or that fraud may be committed, commits forgery”. The other Section i. e Section 464 postulates circumstances in which a person is said to ” make a false document”.
6. Prosecution case is that the appellant No. 3 along with 6 (six) others have executed and registered two Muktipatras in favour of appellant Nos. 1 and 2 and another making statements therein that the property, which they earlier took lease as vested property is the ancestral property of the said persons and that the said Muktipatras have been executed and registered by the appellant No. 3 and others to deprive the Government from claiming the property which has vested in it by operation of law i. e law relating to vested and non-resident property.
7. It is the contention of the learned Advocate-on-record for the appellants that in the background of the admitted fact that questioned Muktipatras have been executed by the appellant No . 3 and along with others of their own by singing their name, to which there is no dispute, in favour of the appellant Nos. 1 and 2 and another and that as there is total absence of evidence to show that the executtants of the Muktipatras and pretended themselves as some bodies to pass off as persons who actually did not execute the Muktipatras and thereupon there being total absence of ingredients of the offence of forgery as has been defined in Sections 463 and 464 of the Penal Code the High Court Division was in serious error of law in maintaining the conviction and sentence of the appellants under Sections 468 and 468 read with Section 109 of the Penal Code. The learned advocate-on-Record in support of his aforesaid contention has referred to the cases decided by the different High Courts of Sup-Continent including by the High Court of erstwhile East Pakistan.
8. In the case of Shamsul Huda Khan Vs. Aminul Islam Chowdhury reported in 3 DLR (1951) 201, in the background of the fact that petitioner before the High Court executed a false Kabuliat in favour of complainant’s ‘fufushashuri’ her minor grandson, the wife of the petitioner and the sister of the wife of the petitioner purported to create some tenancy right in respect of lands belonging to the recipients of the Kabuliat in order to defraud the recipients. It was contended on behalf of the petitioner “Even if a false statement is recited in the body of the document, the document being admittedly made or executed by the petitioner himself, he cannot be convicted of forgery”.
9. Since the petitioner in the reported case admitted the execution of the document that contained statement which was otherwise not true, the High Court Division set aside the conviction of the petitioner passed for the offence of committing forgery. The another Division Bench of the Dhaka High Court in the case of Ali Akber Vs State reported in 10 DLR ( 1958) 354 in the background of the case of the prosecution that the appellant as Head Clerk of the Election Department under the Election Deputy Collector, had forged a Work Register said to have been maintained by him by making certain false and fictitious entries therein on various dates held that the said act of the appellant “does not, in our opinion come within the mischief of the first clause of section 464 of the Penal Code” It has further been held merely because on those dates the appellant made entries in the said work Register, he signed false receipts of certain printed voter lists he could not be said to have committed a forgery in respect of the said work Register”.
10. The learned Advocate-on-Record for the appellant has also referred to the case of Gunjar Mohammad and another Vs. Shuruz Ali reported in (1922) LXIX I. C. 451 (AIR 1924 Cal. 536 ). Fact of the case is that Gunjar Mohammad executed a kabinnama which was witnessed by one by name Shunjar mohammed in favour of Aimona Bibi, Who was not in fact his wife, yet in the background of the said fact it was contended that the document being not a false document within the meaning of Section 464 of the Penal Code conviction for forgery was not sustainable in law. In that given facts it was held that the document in question was not a false document and that conviction for forgery was not sustainable in law. The other case relied upon by the learned Advocate-on-Record is the case of Adaikalammai Vs. Raman reported in (1909) ILR 32 Madras 90. Facts of the case is that A, who was not the son, natural or adopted, of the deceased B, executed a deed of mortgage of certain properties of B in favour of C. In the body of the document A was described as the son of B, though no such description appeared in the signature. A was known to c for a long time, and A had no intention of causing it to be believed that the document was executed by any other person than himself. It was held that A was not guilty of making a ‘ false document’ within the meaning of section 464 Penal Code. The assertion of a false claim in a document will not constitute the document false, when it is executed by the party who purports to execute it and there is no intention of causing a belief that it was executed by some other person, real of fictitious.
11. The other case referred to from the bar is the case of State Govt. Madhya Pradesh Vs, Hifzul Rahman and others reported in AIR 1952 , Nagpur 12. Prosecution case in the case mentioned herein above was that four buffaloes of Ramchandra were stealthily driven by Mitiram and were kept at village keslapar under the direction of Hifzul Rahman on the ground that the cattle pound of Mangrool was not repaired at that time. Acting under the instigation of Hifzul Rahman the accused Govinda showed the arrival of the above cattle in the cattle pound at Mangrool by forging cattle receipt. It was also the allegation that he forged corresponding entries in the fodder register and the cattle pound register. Later on all the accused acted together and declared that the cattle should be taken as ill and managed to fabricate auction papers. After entering a few bogus bids in the names of their friends without any proclamation and ultimately got the cattle knocked down in favour of two accused. It was also alleged that accused Hifzul Rahman posed as the member in-charge of kora Local Board circle also and attested the above auction papers in the capacity of the officer-in-charge as if holding the auction. In the background of the aforesaid facts it was held for the purpose of the charge of forgery it is immaterial that document contains recital which may be false in other respect.
12. In the case reported in AIR 1969 Guzrat 117 it has been observed ” the mere making of a false statement in a document could not come within Section 464 I. P Code and would not amount forgery”. Lastly the learned advocate has referred to the case of Ram Ghulam Singh Vs. Emperor reported in AIR 1929 Allahbad 396. Therein it has been held a document would not become forged document if a wrong entry of a matter appears to be made therein. In the instant appeal, the appellants were put on trial to answer the charge under Sections 468 and 468/109 of the Penal Code. Section 468 reads : “Whoever commits forgery, intending that the document forged shall be used for the purpose of cheating shall be punished with imprisonment of either description for a term which may extend to three years, and shall also be liable to fine”.
13. So in order to sustain conviction under the aforesaid section the requirement is that there must have a forged document as has been defined in sections 463 and 464 of the Penal Code for the purpose mentioned in the Section. It has been alleged by the prosecution that the appellant No. 3 along with some others executed two Muktipatras in favour of the appellant Nos . 1 and 2 and another and therein the executants, as the prosecution case is, have made statement that the property which was treated as the vested property and leased out to different persons including the executants by the vested property authority, is the ancestral property of the recipitants i. e appellant Nos. 1 and 2 and another, of the Muktipatras . The case of the prosecution is that the statement so made in the Muktipatras are false. It may be mentioned there is no allegation that on the basis of the Muktipatras the appellant Nos. 1 and 2 and another have approached the vested property authority for any purpose including for the purpose of not treating the property as vested property and to release the property from the list of vested property .
As seen from the record prosecution case is confined to that the appellant No. 3 and others have executed the Muktipatras in favour of the appellant Nos. 1 and 2 and another making false statements therein to the effect that the property is the ancestral property of the appellant Nos. 1 and 2 and another.
14. Section 463 of the Penal Code defines forgery and that forgery is said to have been committed when a person makes a false document or any part of a document for one or more of the purposes mentioned in the Section. The other Section i. e Section 464 is an explanation of the earlier Section and state the circumstances or situations when ” a persons is said to make a false document” One of the situation in which ” a person is said to make a false document” is that if he ishonestly or fraudulently makes, signs, seals or executes a document or part of document, or makes any mark denoting execution of a document, with the intention of causing it to be believed that such document or part of document was made, signed, sealed or executed by or by the authority of a person by whom or by whose authority he knows that it was not made, signed, sealed or executed or at a time at which he knows that it was not made, signed sealed or executed. The other two situations when ” a person is said to make a false document” as in the Section are not relevant for the purpose of the present appeal.
15. It being the definite case of the prosecution that appellant No. 3 along with others have executed two Muktipatras in favour of the appellant Nos. 1 and 2 and another containing false statement relation to property leased out to the executants of the Muktipatras .and others upon treating the property as vested property to the effect that the said property is the ancestral property of the recipients of the Muktipatras. The undisputed fact is that appellant No. 3 and others have executed the document and that
therein they have made some untrue statements regarding the property relating to which they executed the Muktipatras . The documents i.e. Muktipatras having admittedly been executed by the appellant No. 3 and others the same is in no way can be said to have been brought into existence under the circumstances or situations mentioned in Section 464 in the presence whereof ” a person is said to make a false document”. From the ratio of the cases referred to herein over it is seen that it has uniformly been held that making of false statement in a document by the executants thereof does not saddle him with the liability of committing forgery or that of making a false document.
16. In the background of the discussion made here over we are of the view that the High Court Division as well as the Courts below were in serious error because of the nature of the prosecution case brought before the court and tried in finding the appellants guilty of committing offence under Section 468 and 468/109 of the Penal Code and sentencing the accused there under. Accordingly the appeal is allowed. The conviction and the sentence of the appellants under Section 468 and 468/109 of the Penal Code are set aside.

A Novel Internet-Based Reaction Monitoring, Control and Autonomous Self-Optimization Platform for Chemical Synthesis
University of Cambridge
We have developed a modular software system that enables researchers to monitor and control chemical reactions via the Internet, using any device from any location in the world. It facilitates the automation of synthetic procedures and is able to autonomously self-optimize reaction parameters to find the best conditions meeting customizable, multicomponent optimization functions. In this report, we demonstrate its utility as applied to reaction automation to maximize the output from a fixed volume of catalyst. We also showcase its ability to optimize a three-dimensional heterogeneous catalytic reaction and a five-dimensional Appel reaction against various target functions.
In this publication, the Advion expression Compact Mass Spectrometer (CMS) was paired with a flow reaction system for simple reaction monitoring.

The Holy Country has about 357k Orlanth initiates (and I mean initiate of Orlanth, not Orlanthi culture). Peloria has 225k and Dragon Pass has just under 100k.
But Ralios has some 560k Orlanth initiates!
In Ralios, the cult is centered on Top of the World, and was likely the God Learners primary source of information about Orlanth in the Monomyth. The Orlanthi of Ralios supported Arkat in the Gbaji Wars, and Humakt has a larger cult in Ralios as well. Top of the World has many temples and shrines on its slopes, but one must make your way past hostile werewolves and barbarian dragonewts to get there!
In the Second Age, East Ralios supported the EWF, but Western Ralios opposed it. Alakoring Dragonbreaker came out of Western Ralios, founded the Orlanth Rex cult and later crossed over at Top of the World into Brolia.
There are werewolves, barbarian dragonewts, elves, dwarves, and trolls a plenty in Orlanthi Ralios, as well as a growing danger from Dorastor. But the Orlanth cult here is not defined by conflict about the Lunar Empire – the Red Goddess is an evil from beyond the Rockwoods, but is an abstract evil. Ballid, Nida, Guhan, and Argin Terror are more obvious threats is Vesmonstran, and Halikiv and Dorastor are more obvious threats in East Ralios.
So if you want to set your RQ campaign in an Orlanthi land, without a Lunar Empire, without Prince Argrath and his Sartar Magical Union, look at places like Lankst or the East Wilds. You can have trolls, dwarves, elves, dragonewts, and the like, without that story going on.
You can introduce the Chariot of Lightning sect as a new charismatic sect that gives sorcery to Orlanthi. Maybe it has the feel of Thulsa Doom/Jim Jones, or maybe it is like the prophet Mani or the Maharishi Mahesh Yogi (guru to the Beatles and the Beach Boys).
The Orlanthi of Ralios fall into basically three groups:
East Wilds. These are the most similar to the Orlanthi of Dragon Pass and Aggar, although they have been removed from substantial contact with Dragon Pass for nearly five centuries (in the Second Age they used to have fliers go between Dragon Pass and the East Wilds. They have a had many conflicts with the trolls of Halikiv and with Duke Kimiv of Naskorion.
Vesmonstran. All men are warriors in Vesmonstran and women too, or so the saying goes. Fractious clans and temporary tribes are grouped together in two loose religious-military confederations – that of Jofrain, and the more recently formed Otkorion. Otkorion is held together by the High Priest of the Chariot of Lightning, Surantyr the Non-heretic.
Safelster. Civilised Orlanthi, who have been heavily influenced by Malkionism, Stygian Heresies, etc.
