To better understand the etiology of rare cancers that form in the biliary tract (bile duct, gallbladder, ampulla of Vater), DCEG researchers are conducting studies to examine the molecular and epidemiologic characteristics of cancer at different sites in the biliary tract and identify potential molecular subtypes. Tumor and other biologic samples are compiled from various efforts in China and Chile where incidence of these cancers is higher than in the United States.
As more samples and accompanying exposure information are collected, investigators are able to study increasingly rare subtypes with cutting-edge techniques to determine the epidemiologic and molecular contributors to the development of biliary tract cancers. A better understanding of the molecular differences across these malignancies can lead to more precise diagnosis and effective treatment, as well as providing clues as to etiology.
The Chile Biliary Longitudinal Study (Chile BiLS) is a cohort of women diagnosed with gallstones in an area of Chile with high risk for gallbladder cancer. The purpose of this study is to explore the etiology and natural history of gallbladder dysplasia and biliary cancer, identify potential non-invasive risk stratification methods, such as inflammatory markers, and develop strategies for prevention.
The Biliary Tract Cancer Pooling Project (BiTCaPP) is an international study involving 28 cohorts with over 4,500 biliary tract cancer cases from over 2.8 million participants. This resource allows for the prospective evaluation of risk factors. BiTCaPP is the first effort of its kind for the joint evaluation of cancers throughout the biliary tract and offers great promise for a more definitive understanding of the etiology of cancer across the entire biliary tract.

Venice, California is a beautiful and bustling beachside community that attracts visitors and residents alike. Unfortunately, with the hustle and bustle comes the risk of car accidents. Whether you’re a driver, pedestrian, or cyclist, being involved in a car accident can be a traumatic event. If you’ve been injured in a car accident in Venice, it’s important to seek the help of an experienced car accident lawyer who can guide you through the legal process and help you get the compensation you deserve.
What to do when involved in a car accident in Venice
Car accidents can happen to anyone at any time, regardless of how good of a driver you are. If you’re ever involved in a car accident in Venice, it’s vital to know what to do to protect yourself and your rights. Here’s a guide on what you should do:
1. Make sure everyone is safe
The first thing to do after a car accident is to ensure everyone involved is safe. Check yourself, your passengers, and the other drivers and passengers for injuries. If anyone is hurt, call for medical assistance immediately.
2. Call the police
Reporting the accident to the police is crucial, even if the accident seems minor. The police will create a report, document the scene, and gather statements from involved parties.
3. Document the scene
Take photos and videos of the scene of the accident, including the damages to the vehicles. This evidence could later help your car accident lawyer build a strong case for you.
4. Exchange information
Exchange contact and insurance information with the other driver involved in the accident. Be sure to get their name, phone number, and insurance policy number.
5. Seek medical attention
Even if you feel fine, seek medical attention after your accident. Many injuries may not present symptoms immediately.
6. Contact your insurance company
Report the accident to your insurance company as soon as possible. Provide them with all the necessary details so they can start processing your claim.
7. Contact a car accident lawyer
Speak to a car accident lawyer who is familiar with the laws and regulations in Venice. They will help you determine what your legal options are and what steps you should take to protect your interests.
8. Keep all records and receipts
Keep all records and receipts related to the accident, including medical bills, repair estimates, and car rental expenses.
9. Be cautious when speaking with the other driver’s insurance company
Be cautious when speaking with the other driver’s insurance company. They may use tactics to try and minimize your claim.
10. Don’t settle without consulting a lawyer
Finally, don’t settle with the insurance company without consulting your lawyer. They will help you determine if the settlement amount is fair and negotiate for a better settlement if necessary.
Why You Need a Venice Car Accident Lawyer
Being involved in a car accident can be a traumatic experience, especially if you sustain injuries that affect your ability to work or perform daily activities. In such cases, you may need to pursue compensation from the driver at fault to cover medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering. While filing a claim or lawsuit seems straightforward, it can be complicated and time-consuming, especially if you’re unfamiliar with the legal system. This is where a Venice car accident lawyer comes in handy. Here are ten reasons why you need one:
Reason 1: Protect Your Rights
An experienced Venice car accident lawyer is well-versed in personal injury laws and can help you understand your rights and options. They will review your case and provide legal advice on what steps to take, such as filing a claim with the other driver’s insurance company or going to court. They will also ensure that your rights are protected throughout the legal process.
Reason 2: Determine Liability
One of the essential tasks of a Venice car accident lawyer is to investigate the accident and determine who is at fault. They will gather evidence, such as police reports, witness statements, and medical records, to prove that the other driver’s negligence caused the accident and your injuries.
Reason 3: Calculate Your Damages
In addition to liability, a Venice car accident lawyer will help you determine the full extent of your damages, including medical expenses, lost wages, future medical care, property damage, and pain and suffering. They will work with medical professionals and other experts to assess your injuries and estimate your future needs.
Reason 4: Negotiate with Insurance Companies
Dealing with insurance companies can be frustrating and stressful, especially if you don’t know your rights. A Venice car accident lawyer will handle all communication with the other driver’s insurance company and ensure that you are not taken advantage of. They will negotiate a fair settlement that covers your damages.
Reason 5: File a Lawsuit
If the other driver’s insurance company refuses to offer a fair settlement, a Venice car accident lawyer can file a lawsuit on your behalf. They will prepare and file the necessary legal documents, represent you in court, and argue your case to a judge or jury.
Reason 6: Resolve Disputes
It’s not uncommon for disputes to arise during the claims process, such as disagreements over fault, damages, or insurance coverage. A Venice car accident lawyer will help you resolve any disputes and ensure that your rights are protected.
Reason 7: Help You Understand the Legal Process
The legal process can be confusing and overwhelming, especially if you’re dealing with injuries and recovery. A Venice car accident lawyer will guide you through the process, explain legal jargon, and keep you informed of any developments.
Reason 8: Maximize Your Compensation
A Venice car accident lawyer will work tirelessly to ensure that you receive fair compensation for your injuries and damages. They will use their knowledge and experience to negotiate a settlement or argue your case in court and obtain the maximum compensation possible.
Reason 9: Provide Peace of Mind
Dealing with a car accident and its aftermath can be stressful and overwhelming. A Venice car accident lawyer can provide you with peace of mind by handling all legal matters on your behalf and allowing you to focus on your recovery.
Reason 10: No Upfront Costs
Most Venice car accident lawyers work on a contingency fee basis, which means that they only get paid if you win your case. You don’t have to worry about upfront costs, and you can focus on getting the compensation you deserve.
The Importance of Hiring a Venice Car Accident Lawyer
Protect Your Rights as a Victim
Car accidents can cause significant physical injuries and emotional trauma, resulting in medical bills, lost wages, and other expenses. When you work with a Venice car accident lawyer, you can ensure your legal rights are protected. Your lawyer will fight to get you the financial compensation you deserve, which may include medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and more.
Expertise in Dealing with Insurance Companies
Insurance companies may try to offer you less than what you deserve for your injuries, and may even try to deny your claim altogether. A qualified car accident lawyer in Venice has experience dealing with insurance companies and can help you navigate the legal process. This includes helping you fill out insurance forms and negotiating with your insurance company as well as the at-fault party’s insurance provider.
Investigate Your Case Thoroughly
No two car accidents are ever the same. A good Venice car accident lawyer will investigate your case thoroughly, evaluating every detail to determine the cause of the accident and who is at fault. This may involve gathering evidence including witness statements, police reports, and reviewing any security footage of the accident.
Possible Special Circumstances
Some cases have special circumstances that may need to be considered, such as a defective auto part or road design. A car accident attorney must investigate these circumstances thoroughly to determine if they could have played a role in the accident and the injury.
|Defective Auto Parts||Auto part designers and manufacturers can be held liable due to their negligence by using poor quality components or negligence in deigning the part that leads to the disaster.|
|Road Design Errors||It might be the case that the accident occurs due to significant gaps in the road, lack of proper streetlights, unclear signs or markings on a lane or high speed limits collisions in that particular area.|
Peace of Mind and Reduced Stress
Finally, working with a car accident lawyer can help reduce the stress and anxiety you may feel after an accident. Your attorney will handle all of the legal details while you focus on recovering from your injuries. This can help give you peace of mind during a difficult time and help ensure that you get the best possible outcome for your case.

October has been such a whirlwind, it’s been great this week to have things settle down a bit! The month has been filled with great stuff, from Conflux in Canberra to Raw Numinbah (an obstacle course race) to a fun trip to Melbourne with the man and then daughter’s dance weekend. I celebrated a birthday somewhere in there, too. Thirty nine. Happy to be here. Ooh, and I mainlined Jessica Jones and loved it.
The highlight of Conflux was seeing fabulous people, and speaking on the Labyrinth panel with Thoraiya Dyer, Shauna O’Meara and Cat Sheeley. Thoraiya had made a Firegang Dancer’s head out of paper mâché and I will always be impressed by this!
I was surprised that others on the panel saw a parallel between Jareth and Edward (of Twilight). But Sara denies Jareth whereas Bella… jumps in.
This week I’ve focused on some writing projects and sent in an interview, photos and a bio for my story coming out in Apex Magazine in December. It’s really happening! They haven’t changed their minds… yet. Recurring writerly doubt is a thing!
One new project I’m working on is a series about unicorns, set partly in another universe, a unicorniverse. Is that corny? (Haha!) (No, really?) It goes like this:
Emma finds an old box in her attic, and clears off the dust to make out the words Rinbau Unicorniverse. When she goes inside she’s zapped into a parallel universe with coloured talking (warring) unicorns, who she helps to become friends. She also helps them take on their ultimate enemy.
I’m aiming for middle-grade entry level, but hoping for broader appeal.
So that’s the latest with me! How about you?

By Lauren Stanley:
Just take a moment to look down and have a think about what you’re wearing. At this moment I am wearing a pair of Cotton On track pants, and a Kmart tee-shirt. Yet after my research this week, I am wishing I had bought my tee-shirt elsewhere. Never before has the consumer been both so powerless, and so powerful at the same time. Global conglomerates dictate to you what to wear, how, and when. The masses follow blindly, triggering the rise of the ‘fast fashion’ world. ‘Fast fashion’ is a description of how the fashion industry has fallen into step with the way that current society prefers everything: fast and disposable. Gone are the days of two seasons of clothing lines per year; now there are new clothes on retailers’ racks every couple of weeks. For consumers to be convinced to buy into the constant stream of new apparel the clothing has to be affordable enough to be disposable. And, as is often the case, it’s never the retailer that absorbs the pricing cut; it’s the supplier. This is, however, where the consumer can realise their power in this cycle and vote with their feet. Cheap apparel and quick turnover of clothing is hurting people in developing countries. While you, the person buying the clothes and shoes, aren’t directly responsible for this, you don’t have to support it.
‘The True Cost’ documentary (you can find it on Netflix and online) shows how the Big Boys benefit from off-shore manufacturing in developing countries in two distinct ways: apparel and textile manufacturing, and crop growth. The former is obvious; developing countries have a lower standard of living, and thus lower standard of working conditions is enforced. Companies exploit this because it is much less expensive to pay your workers an average of $3-4/day, than $15-20/day. Oxfam outlines a ‘sweatshop’ workplace as one with poor working conditions, low wages, long hours, potentially dangerous environment (structural soundness and lack of OH&S), often with exposure to toxic chemicals. Audits have shown that the majority of apparel manufacturers that supply the fast fashion industry fit within this category, with margins being squeezed at the only place that large companies deem acceptable – definitely not their own profits. Clothing manufacturers have to cut corners, and push their workers even further or the western companies will take their money to a supplier that costs them even less money.
Several companies that sell within Australia such as Kmart, Target, Forever New, Bonds and City Chic have signed Oxfam Australia’s ‘Bangladeshi Accord’, binding them to responsibility for the garment workers in Bangladesh that contract for their company. However, governments are desperate to keep the business that these companies bring to their country.Although agreements such as these have been signed, when companies agree to upkeep the legal minimum wage of manufacturing countries, it doesn’t mean much when the home government there keeps wages very low to maintain business interest. This can be seen in a recent ABC ‘Four Corners’ interview with the CEO of Kmart. Kmart has agreed to pay the minimum wage of the manufacturing country – which happens to be only $38/month, even though a rise in this wage would impact the retail price of the garment in Australia only minimally.
As seen in the documentary The True Cost, Monsanto holds the monopoly on genetically modified crop seeds (in this case, cotton), as well as on pesticides. Interestingly enough the farmers have been encouraged to use greater and greater levels of pesticides by the seed suppliers. This, while degrading the land and surrounding environment, has also caused a marked increase in children born in those areas with mental disabilities and other health issues. Monsanto is owned by an even larger conglomerate, Pharmacia, and this company supplies medications for those afflicted with pesticide induced maladies. There is no losing for these huge western based companies. They profit from the globalisation induced manufacturing boom, they profit in an ongoing manner from supply of pesticides, and they even profit from the damage that they are causing to whole communities, and their physical environments. After all of this, when the land is degraded to the point that crop yield is down so far that the farmers cannot pay the debt that they owe for their seed bills, these companies come and foreclose on the farmers’ lands. The common-place reaction by the farmer is something that Australia struggles to prevent in our own farmers: suicide. In India alone over the last 16 years there have been 250,000 suicides by farmers, this is the largest wave of suicides ever recorded.
Women in particular are affected in this exploitation of cheap, human capital as they make up about 85% of garment workers. Oxfam Australia have found that the people that work for brands such as Nike, Adidas, Puma, Just Jeans, Bonds, Berli, and FILA just to name a few, have been found to be predominantly women between the ages of 17 and 24. When prominent speakers such as Christopher Hitchens and others consistently proclaim that the key to reducing world poverty is the empowerment of women, these statistics become particularly pertinent. Globalisation has given even more power to the wealthy and already powerful of the developed world. In societies that could so easily create a system of empowerment and fair trade with developing countries, it is so wrong to instead create garments that are produced for only 10-12% of the retail price.
At the risk of sounding like a corny motivational speaker, you the consumer have the power to shift this situation. Consumerism is a choice and you can choose where to spend your hard-earned dollars. Instead of dictating what I think you should do, I’m instead going to outline what I’m going to do. This year I am going to make a commitment to not shop where I know that people have been exploited so that I can wear cheap clothes over my privileged skin. I’m going to shop more at op shops, and Cotton On, I’m going to visit sites such as ASOS ‘greenroom’ and ASOS ‘marketplace’, ‘Braintree Clothing’, ‘Ethical Superstore’, ‘Fashion Compassion’, ‘Komodo’, ‘Monkee Genes’, ‘Spartoo’, ‘The Natural Store’, and ‘TOM’s shoes’. I know it’s going to cost more, but I also know this: 1. They’re going to last a lot longer than anything bought cheaply, 2. I won’t need to constantly buy clothes, 3. These clothes and shoes aren’t going to be destroying the environment through their manufacturing process, and 4. This apparel is actually going to help the people that made it to live, not just to survive.
This might sound really hard but the fabulous internet makes it so much easier. Maybe you think that it is too big a change for you, that it isn’t worth it. Maybe it’s time for you to realise that you are a global citizen and your actions, however small you believe them to be, can impact in a big way on a person that is nowhere near as privileged as you are. To steal from Uncle Ben: ‘With great power, comes great responsibility’. Use your dollars responsibly.

Cindy Mammarella, Guest Columnist
I read with interest the story headlined, "Residents: Leave Sadsbury Township Alone" (DLN, Dec. 4), and a guest column written by Lem Mason titled, "A Blurred Vision of Sadsbury" (DLN, Dec. 8). Both expressed concerns of rezoning to permit high-density developments. Similar concerns and issues exist in the municipalities of the Octorara Area School District.
For example, in the Dec. 4 issue of the (Parkesburg) Post-Ledger, there appeared a letter to the editor from Jack Mariano expressing his concern over a 605-townhouse development proposed in West Sadsbury Township. Mariano wrote that, "even one-half of the proposed townhouses are intolerable."
Subsequently, in last weeks Ledger there was an article describing Bob Humes concern over Parkesburg Borough Councils interest in rezoning property to permit a 300-plus residential development. More specifically, along with a 10-acre commercial area, this proposed project situated in the quarry area along Route 10 currently includes 62 acres containing 224 townhouses, 100 apartment units, and 36 single homes, for a grand total of 360 dwelling units.
When this letter sees print, a draft of a new zoning district entitled R4 will have been presented to the Parkesburg Borough Council. The R4 district is expected to permit a multi-use development to include high-density, mixed dwelling units, such as townhouses and apartments. The property anticipated to be rezoned to R4 happens to be the one on which the 360 dwelling units mentioned above are proposed.
I hope Mariano and every resident of the Octorara area focuses not only on the headline that screams, "605 Townhouses Proposed for West Sadsbury Township." They should become informed of all the proposed development in this region and the fiscally devastating consequences that may follow.
With a current enrollment of only 849 students in the Octorara High School, the 360 new dwelling units in Parkesburg will likely cause a need for additional school resources. One must also take into account the increased demand on borough services (i.e. trash and snow removal, police protection, etc.) that will be created by such a development. Let us not ignore the increase in traffic likely to occur along Route 10 that will be added to the congestion in that area that has become all too commonplace in the last year or so.
Not only does this scenario predict the likelihood for the need to increase school taxes, but it predicts the likelihood for the need to increase Parkesburg Borough taxes, as well.
Does the Octorara region need high-density townhouse developments in any of its municipalities? Residents should become informed about this issue, and attend their local governments meetings. They should encourage and support their local officials efforts to create zoning that promotes smart, controlled development. Developer-sponsored zoning changes usually result in benefits to a select few, typically the developers!
They should be aware that a townhouse development may not only be proposed in someone elses borough or township, but it may also be proposed in their own backyard.
The writer lives in Parkesburg.

Excellent editorial Ms. Mammarella!
People who think the developers' impending rape of the environment and assault on their quality of life is not going to effect them are the ones who will be the most upset when it happens to them...they do not realize that no one is immune from the high cost of lining developers' pockets at our expense. People need to realize that when developers, who are highly skilled in manipulating facts and people show their very pretty, professionally drawn plans at their slick presentations that really means higher taxes, more crime, more traffic and a lower quality of life.
Your last comment sums it up perfectly....I guarantee any of the developers who are assaulting our area with these high density travesties do NOT have this type of building anywhere near where they live. Why do you think that is?

Share #13: Ballard Farmer's Market
I've already sorted out what in relation means. I cannot eat with a dog or a cat. I cannot eat over the phone with someone or online or on Skype. I cannot eat something alone that someone gave me as a gift yesterday. I cannot eat in a public place where other are eating simply because there are others there. I must be in community. I must be sharing something with someone, least of all food.
Last week, I was sharing dinner with a friends. After dinner I ate my cream puff and suddenly felt guilty. What had I done?! I'd cheated. Wait wait, no, that wasn't cheating. That is allowed. My friend eaten a cream puff. We'd shared an experience. So why did I have this little panicky feeling? I used to get this feeling every so often when I was younger and worked three jobs and had, against all odds, a rare day off. In the middle of that carefree day I would suddenly panic. I'm supposed to be somewhere! Where? At one of my jobs? Which one? I would need to fish for things I knew every other day. Sort out what day it was. It was like I was suddenly unfamiliar with myself and my life. Then I would swim through it or in it and locate myself and the day too and my environs and reintegrate. No. I'm not supposed to be anywhere. Everything is ok. I am right here, where I am meant to be. Then a melting relief.
I wonder why, after eating a cream puff, I felt that way. Perhaps it's a conditioned sweet connection? I know from Hunger, the fasting/receiving work I did for NEPO 5k Walk Don't Run, in 2013, sugar grabs at a part of me, a part that will not be satisfied, that wants to cheat and steal away. Perhaps the sugar recalled that part of me? Whatever it was, I took some time to review how I eat sugar, under what circumstances. I eat sugar at breakfast on hot cereal, in the form of biscotti. On rare occasions, I purchase package of cookies--my favorite are those dark chocolate topped digestives, McVittie's, from Great Britain. I like to eat them alone and to ration my intake. I pull out two cookies to have with my hot black milk tea. Then I pull out one more. Then one more, really, just one. Then I put them away a third time.
I have plenty of food where I am staying, but I cannot go into the kitchen and eat it, which is a different way of being. When I was fasting (Hunger, 2013), I did not have food around. I had a bolder line between me from food. Now I am carrying food around in a bag looking for circumstances to eat it.
What is this project about? What am I doing or supposed to be doing? I find myself wondering. Was I supposed to keep silent? Was I supposed to eat that? It's a lot looser that you'd think, but then there's a big obstacle, the inability to eat without a companion, which means I do not snack. I do not answer my hunger. Typically, I snack all day on nuts and yogurt and chocolate and bread.
I met Mylinda at 1pm at the Ballard Farmer's Market. I hadn't eaten since 2pm the day before. I was hungry. We shared a fresh quesadilla and a tamale. We sat in a doorway eating from our laps. People were streaming by. The rain let up. Later, I bought some things to take home, wild flower honey, 2 bunches of beets, 6 plums, a delicata squash and a chicken pot pie. Everything made fresh and organic, from products in season, grown locally. Splurge!!
When I lived in a studio on Old Ballard Avenue, last November, December and January, I'd walk out my door and right into the farmer's market on Sundays. I could hear them conversing in the early morning light as they set up their stands. The wood-fired oven pizza cart was the closet to me. Smoke from their fire wafted in through my window.
Some day, I will eat food purchased at the market, and only at the market, for one month, one season, one year. See what evolves. See how I change. See if I can connect my body with my landscape through my diet, live on food that lived in my region, on fish and meat raised on my land, on fruits and vegetables that are falling in season. Supermarkets make it hard to know. Where did this come from? How long ago was it picked? Was it ripe then or green? And isn't it strange I live in a culture where I must construct this reality?
I've lived on supermarket food most of my life, except for twice. Once, when I was in Poland and once when I was in the South Pacific. In Poland, I knew when strawberries were in season. For two weeks, you saw them and everyone ate them. Then they were gone. Same with sunflowers. And gooseberries. And plums. Unless you pickled it, that was the last you saw of it until the next year. Eating pickled pumpkin was a different story. Your labor was deep in that. In the South Pacific, I ate food plucked from the tree everyday, pulled out of the sea, hot from the oven. Coconuts, tuna, parrotfish, urchins.
There are several fresh, year-round, farmer's markets in Seattle. In the University District on Saturdays and in Ballard, Fremont, Capitol Hill and West Seattle on Sundays. In the summer, there are even more.

Note the possible changes your mole may experience. To avoid danger, use sunscreen, do not expose to direct UV rays or use tanning beds.
On the skin we can find different skin growths with different colors (from orange to dark tones), which can be prominent or flat. For growth in the skin we call it “mole”. It is common to most people.
Why are there any worries?
Although it is common to find moles in humans, there is a mole that can be dangerous or can be a melanoma (carcinogens). Therefore, it is very important to be aware of our moles and, after reviewing this article, look at our skin and, if we find anomalies, visit a dermatologist.
Among the three ways in which skin cancer is indicated, the most dangerous form of melanoma is spreading more easily and can be very offensive. In addition, the presentation of this cancer is very dangerous because it appears in cells responsible for coloring the skin (moles, freckles, birthmarks)
How to identify the possible signs of melanoma?
If when checking a mole or birthmark you find an asymmetrical shape where these are divided into two parts but these two sections are not the same, they may respond to the possibility of melanoma. Natural beauty. Why? As is known, most moles are spherical or circular and, between generalizations, it is possible to have a mole or a sign that does not contain this dangerous form.
2. Size … not so great.
Poles can usually be up to 1 cm in diameter. If one of your moles has a bigger size or if you notice it, you should be very attentive to your changes or go to a dermatologist.
3. A mol surprise: Be careful!
If on your skin suddenly appears moles and start to black, you should be very careful or visit a dermatologist. Very likely the index has a malignancy.
4. Color: homogeneous tone.
Normal moles, in many cases, have a homogeneous color, similar in their area; colors dominate and even. If you observe some colors on a mole, you should be vigilant. This may be a carcinogenic mole.
5. A mol with symptoms: Inflammation, pain, bleeding or stinging.
In this case you should pay more attention to the changes that occur. No doubt you should immediately visit a dermatologist. These signs can determine the potency of a strong malignant.
6. Edges: undefined or irregular.
If the mole does not show clearly the beginning or end or if the mole’s edge is not well defined, you should also pay attention to it. This may be a dangerous mol because benign moles are well defined.
7. Your family background: Be careful!
If you have a case of skin cancer or a dangerous mole in your family, it would be very important to visit a dermatologist. Although it is known that moles are not hereditary, but considering every family has a kind of skin and some vulnerabilities in it, you have to be careful.
We recommend …
To avoid showing signs of malignancy, you can prevent yourself from using medium-frequency blocks of sun, avoid exposing yourself to direct UV light and avoid using products that may harm your skin, and also not using ultraviolet ray tanning beds.
If you read any of these risk factors, you should visit a dermatologist. Time is a very important factor for possible treatment.

Pathologist Christos Eftychiadis, on whose findings the coroner's reports were based, on the deaths of Georgina's two younger sisters, will be the first to cross the door of the prosecutor, which is handling the case, on Thursday, September 1st.
The mother of Malena and Iris, Roula Pispirigou, has been prosecuted for intentional homicide, in a calm state of mind, serially.
On Friday, September 2, Athens coroners Nikos Karakoukis and Nikos Kalogreas will testify, who in their multi-page report concluded that the death of the two girls was due to asphyxiation, effectively “tying up” the case.
Within September, the proposal of the competent prosecutor to the judicial council is expected in the case of the homicide of Georgina, who was allegedly murdered by administering ketamine, unlike her sisters who suffered, according to the findings, a suffocation death.

Despite Seek’s mostly bullish outlook, the stock has declined about 40% year-to-date. The pullback in the stock may be a result of concerns that a recession could damage SEEK’s business. A recession is usually characterised by job losses or a slowdown in hiring, which could impact SEEK’s earnings.
SEEK’s stock price prediction
Analysts continue to believe that SEEK stock is a good investment despite its steep decline. According to TipRanks’ analyst rating consensus, the stock is a Moderate Buy based on seven Buys and two Sells. The average SEEK stock price prediction of $29.67 implies over 47% upside potential.
SEEK stock scores a nine of 10 from TipRanks’ Smart Score rating system, indicating that the stock has strong potential to outperform market expectations.
Moreover, SEEK is seeing favourable mentions on financial blogs. TipRanks data shows that financial blogger opinions are 100% Bullish on SEK stock, compared to a sector average of 64%.
SEEK shares may still fall as a result of recession concerns. However, given its recent declines, negative sentiment based on a potential recession is now likely to have been priced into the stock.

IN BRIEF: Rockdale's delegation came together Thursday morning to brief members of the Conyers-Rockdale Chamber of Commerce and the public on the bills that passed and the issues they worked on in the 2013 General Assembly session.
The delegates that attended the breakfast at Rockdale Medical Center were State Senator Rick Jeffares, House Representatives Tonya Anderson, Dee Dawkins Haigler, Tom Kirby, Pam Stephenson, and David Raynor from the Georgia Chamber of Commerce. Delegates that did not attend had family-related issues or other meetings.
Some of the issues reviewed that were worked on during this first year of the two year legislative cycle included ethics reform, the hospital fee for Medicare funds or the hospital "bed tax," juvenile justice reform, licensing for veterans in five occupational/profession areas, transportation, workman's compensation system reform, school system rating, and balancing the state budget.
On the ethics reform bill that capped lobbyist spending at $75, Sen. Rick Jeffares, chairman of the ethics committee, said, "These people are hours away, staying away from their famliy, I hope someone is buying them dinner."
Rep. Pamela Stephenson, the senior member of the delegation, said when reasonable people are sitting at the table, they reach the best result.
Rep. Tom Kirby said, "Georgia is in the top five of most transparent states as far as lobbyists and expenditures. It's right there online for everybody."

We at CommGAP are interested in learning how to change social norms as key to fighting petty corruption. When looking at the issue of norms as they relate to corrupt practices, as with most issues, there are two sides to the petty corruption equation: citizens who pay bribes and public servants who accept them. A number of posts on this blog have dealt with the importance of getting citizens to view bribery as wrong. So what about public servants? How do you get them to stop demanding and accepting bribes from citizens?
A couple of interesting solutions to this question were found in Nepal and Kazakhstan, as reported by the BBC earlier this year. In Nepal, in order to fight petty corruption at its main international airport, the government planned to put in place an unusual measure: making airport employees wear pants without pockets to prevent them from taking bribes from travelers. In Kazakhstan, one of the government’s anti-corruption initiatives included making civil servants wear badges saying “I am against corruption,” in the hopes that those wearing such badges would think twice before demanding bribes.

Multiple contiguous lumbar transverse process fractures
PDF size: 571.80 Kb.
ABSTRACTBackground: transverse process fractures are low frequent. They have an unknown incidence and are mild lesions. Simple radiography sometimes is enough to get the diagnosis and computerized axial tomography (CAT) with tridimensional reconstruction is the gold standard. In most of the cases rest is the treatment choice, as well as medication for pain and the use of orthesis.
Objective: to present a case of multiple contiguous lumbar transverse process fractures.
Clinical case: a 58-year-old male patient, heavy smoker and sedentary with a history of high blood pressure with regular treatment who slipped when he was getting downstairs and fell down the floor. He arrived at the emergency service with acute pain in lumbar region associated with difficulty to walk and antalgic scoliosis. Besides it was accompanied by mild volume increase. At physical exploration pain at palpation in left lumbar fosse was noted, Finck sing and Dejerine maneuver positive. There was pain at trunk flexion and lateralization. The rest of the physical exam was negative. The lumbosacral CAT with tridimensional reconstruction showed fractures in transverse process from the first to the fourth lumbar vertebras. Conservative treatment was indicated based on rest, pain killers and the use of an orthesis for lumbosacral spine for four weeks.
Conclusions: lumbar transverse process fractures are less frequent injures that might indicate severe associated lesions that can be overlooked. When they appear isolated, the conservative treatment with rest, pain killers and the wearing of orthesis give good functional results.

The Counseling Center at the University at Albany, N.Y., has won a $300,000 federal grant to reduce high-risk drinking among athletes.
The money from the U.S. Department of Education will be used for a program called "Project Winning Steps." M. Dolores Cimini, a licensed psychologist at the University Counseling Center, said the program will be designed to reduce student-athlete's alcohol use and the "harms" or negative consequences of that behavior.
UAlbany Athletic Director Lee McElroy said athletes are leaders on campus and, as such, they "should exemplify behaviors that advance effective, lifelong-learning strategies."
In all, the University Counseling Center has attracted more than $3.5 million in funding for alcohol and substance abuse counseling, treatment and educational programs on campus.

Conner and I knew of each other through mutual friends, but had never met before. He’d gotten my number through a friend of a friend of a friend (😂) and told me if I was ever in New York City he’d love to take me on a date. A few months later I was in New York for September fashion week. We met up that week, and I knew from the moment I met him things were about to get complicated. There was just something about him! (More on the story here).
I had just moved to Chicago the same month he moved to New York, so we were both starting fresh in our new cities. At first we took things really slow, but as time went on and our relationship grew, we knew the distance had to come to an end. It took sacrifice on both ends, faith, and trust, but we’re happier than ever to finally be living in the same city. RIP to the FaceTime days. Just a little long distance success story for any of you struggling with distance right now 🥰
Loving someone from a distance is never easy. It takes patience, respect, a positive mindset, trust, and most importantly – sacrifice. Long distance relationships aren’t for everyone, but if you find yourself getting into one (or you’ve been in one for a while), I wrote down 7 things that helped us make it through 2 years of long distance dating…
1. You HAVE to learn to love your life apart from the other person.
This is true for all relationships – distance or no distance – but especially when the other half of your heart lives elsewhere. You can’t live with the “I’ll be happy when we’re together” mindset. Of course, life will be awesome when you can finally be together, but you have to work on you during this waiting period. Physical distance is the perfect opportunity to fall in love with someone while you’re still falling in love with your own life. You have plenty of time to spend time with your friends, family, hobbies, career, and your relationship with God. The more you learn to love your own life, the more you will love your life together with that person. You working on yourself is in turn setting your future relationship together up for success.
2. Have an end goal in sight.
After a little over a year of long distance dating, we realized we’d both be miserable if we tried going much longer away from each other. If you want to protect your heart and be realistic, you have to determine what the end goal is in your relationship. What does the future look like? Make a timeline that works for both of you and define your expectations. This will either be encouraging with an end in sight or eye opening, but the conversation has to happen.
3. Set boundaries and expectations early on in the relationship.
When hanging out together on the weekend isn’t an option, you’re both left trusting each other to go out with their own friends. Trust is everything in a long distance relationship – so you if you don’t have that, you need to reevaluate things. To avoid fights or miscommunication, set expectations and boundaries early on about what you both feel comfortable with the other person doing. The golden rule is to not put yourself in any kind of situation you wouldn’t want him/her in. Communication is everything when it comes to long distance, so you can’t let your pride get in the way of anything if you want things to work, talk. about. everything. Also, you can’t worry about coming off as ‘too needy’ when expressing your feelings about something. If you feel a certain way You can’t just assume the other person is on the same page as you – you have to talk about your expectations or there will be bigger problems in the future.
4. Good morning texts and FaceTime dates at night.
We didn’t talk throughout the day as much as I would’ve liked, but then again I’m a girl, so we had to meet in the middle on this one. We found that a good morning message and a FaceTime call every night was the healthiest way for us to go about the week away from each other (Con would send me a quote every morning for a while bc he knew how much I loved them). It gave us time to be present in our lives apart from each other but also enough communication to still feel really connected. Be specific about when you’re going to talk because you both have busy schedules. We owe A LOT to FaceTime for keeping our relationship alive 😂 Communication is different for every couple, but just wanted to give an example of what worked for us.
5. Send physical thoughts in the mail.
Send little gifts in the mail to let them know you’re thinking about them. Whether that means ordering the other person insomnia cookies, flowers, a hand written card, a $5 Venmo for coffee, little things like this will make his/her day and switch things up.
6. Don’t let your phone calls feel mundane.
When you can’t just sit in silence and enjoy being next to that person, you have to get creative with how you keep the magic flowing over the phone. Get creative with your conversations – start watching the same show or reading the same book. When we were first dating I’d write stuff down in a note on my phone that happened during that day or something I wanted to remember to tell him so I wouldn’t forget!
7. Always have a plan for the next time you’re going to see eachother.
Just like point #1, you have to have something to look forward to – especially when you know the distance between the next visit is going to my longer than usual. Visit each other’s cities, but also visit each other’s families. This, I’ve found, is the best way to get to truly know someone.
I hope this gives you the clarity you’re looking for or the hope to keep moving forward! Long distance relationships are very challenging, but not impossible. If you can love, trust, respect, and support each other from a distance, you will be stronger than ever once you’re physically together. There’s no love like two patient hearts willing to wait.

Etymology: Eponym for Rep. Bart Stupak.
1: In a legislative process, to obstruct passage of a proposed law on the basis of a moral principle (i.e. protecting the unborn), accumulating power in the process, then at a key moment surrendering in exchange for a fig leaf, the size of which varies according to the degree of emasculation of said legislator and/or as a reflection of just how stupid people are presumed to be. (Slang: backstabber.)
Poor Bart Stupak. The man tried to be a hero for the unborn, and then, when all the power of the moment was in his frail human hands, he dropped the baby.
Now, in the wake of his decision to vote "yes" for a health care bill that expands public funding for abortion, he is vilified and will be forever remembered as the guy who Stupaked health care reform and the pro-life movement.
Of all the disappointed activists, Brian Burch, president of CatholicVote.org and creator of StandWithStupak.com, was perhaps the most demonstrative in his support of pro-life Democrats. He even created a video with a remake of the final battle scene from "Braveheart."
A helmeted British Barack Obama says, "Our cavalry will ride them down like grass. … Full attack!" Whereupon, Stupak, eyeglasses incongruously perched on his blue-painted face, commands his pitchfork army, "Steady. … Hold, hold, hold."
Alas, Stupak couldn't hold.
Ultimately, he was weak and overwhelmed by raw political power. History is no stranger to such moments, but this one needs to be understood for what it was. A deception.
The executive order promising that no federal funds will be used for abortion is utterly useless, and everybody knows it. First, the president can revoke it as quickly as he signs it.
Second, an order cannot confer jurisdiction in the courts or establish any grounds for suing anybody in court, according to a former White House counsel. The order is therefore judicially unenforceable.
Finally, an executive order cannot trump or change a federal statute.
One can reasonably surmise that Obama, a former constitutional law professor, is well aware of the uselessness of his promise. Perhaps this is why he didn't mention it during the bill-signing ceremony Tuesday.
Stupak, too, knew that the executive order was merely political cover for him and his pro-life colleagues. He knew it because several members of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops explained it to him, according to sources. The only way to prevent public funding for abortion was for his amendment to be added to the Senate bill.
Clearly, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and the president didn't want that. What they did want was the abortion funding that the Senate bill allowed.
Thus, the health care bill passed because of a mutually understood deception — a pretense masquerading as virtue. No wonder Stupak locked his doors and turned off his phones Sunday, according to several pro-life lobbyists who camped outside his office.
Stupak's fall from grace is a lesson in human frailty. In a matter of hours, he went from representing the majority of Americans who don't want public money spent on abortion to leading the army on the other side. Already he has lost a speaking invitation to the Illinois Catholic Prayer Breakfast next month.
After the Sunday vote, a group of Democrats, including Stupak, gathered in a pub to celebrate. In a biblical moment, New York Rep. Anthony Weiner was spotted planting a big kiss on Stupak's cheek.
To a Catholic man well versed in the Gospel, this is not a comforting gesture.

Des appels européens Horizon 2020 abordent des questions de gouvernance européenne.
Si vous êtes intéressés par un appel H2020, contactez-nous ou CAP Europe au plus tôt pour avoir plus d’informations.
Specific Challenge: There is a pressing need for the EU to improve its capacities and capabilities for conflict resolution, prevention and mediation. As highlighted by the EU’s Global Strategy and the European Defence Action Plan, a key challenge is to accommodate
multiple action domains, including traditionally internal policy areas, in a joined -up external action alongside the Common Security and Defence Policy. An integral challenge is to ensure that the EU external policy and the foreign policies of Member States are coordinated when engaging with strategic global partners.

- « Developing deliberative and participatory democracies through experimentation » – SU-GOVERNANCE-21-2020
Specific Challenge: Liberal democracies have come under pressure in recent times. Politicaldistrust, polarizing discourses, lower electoral participation and populist narratives that reject the idea of an open society manifest themselves in Europe and beyond, with very strong support. The challenge therefore is to examine whether and how deliberative and participatory approaches–theoretically and practically – can fulfil the promise of greater and more enlightened participation in the present context and reach out to include those alienated from the political process. The difficulties deliberative and participatory approaches may face are also important to appraise.
In the last two decades deliberative and participative democracy has become increasingly prominent as a response to the challenges besetting liberal representative democracies. Premised on notions of direct democracy, active citizenship and decisions reached through argumentation, these new practices of democracy has in theory the potential to revive democratic legitimacy and help close the gap between citizens and political elites, who are often perceived as representing powerful interest groups.
- « Addressing radicalization through social inclusion » – SU-GOVERNANCE-09-2020
Specific Challenge: The spread of radical ideologies leading in some cases to violence has prompted the EU and its Member States to develop prevention policies and effective intervention scenarios supporting social inclusion. To further develop and proactively target the needs of policymakers and practitioners, a comprehensive evidence base analysis on trends in radical ideologies and extremism and on the drivers of polarisation and radicalisation is necessary.
- « Citizen-centric public services in local and regional administrations » – DT-GOVERNANCE-22-2020
Specific Challenge:With the adoption of the Tallinn Declaration, the ministers in charge of policy and coordination of digital public services in the countries of the EU and EFTA, recognise the needs and expectations of the citizens and businesses when interacting with public administrations and commit that the design and delivery of their services will be guided by the principles of user-centricity.
The digital transformation of the public administration shall be implemented at national, regional and local levels.
- « New forms of delivering public goods and inclusive public services » – DT-GOVERNANCE-05-2018-2019-2020.
Specific Challenge: Governance is being transformed by new approaches to delivering public services which allow for the involvement of citizens and various other actors. The challenge is to critically assess and support as needed this transformation based on an open collaboration and innovation platform supported by ICT (‘government as a platform’) and on an open environment and ecosystem with clear frameworks and guidelines for modular services quality (‘government as a service’) in accordance with the EU eGovernment Action Plan 2016-2020 and the European Interoperability Framework Implementation Strategy. In particular, to deliver better public services, public administrations need to regroup resources together under common infrastructures at the European level that serve the needs of various actors and enable the participation of all relevant communities. In addition, to ensure a cost efficient provision of inclusive digital services, there is a pressing need to identify gaps in accessibility solutions, to establish related best practices, and to promote training, awareness raising and capacity building.

- « Support to the networking of national R&I Think Tanks for helping co-shape and share a common perspective on R&I policy across Europe » – GOVERNANCE-23-2020
Specific Challenge: The intended new governance of R&I policy at EU level relies on a combination of co-creation across policy fields and co-design with relevant stakeholders, as part of an open, transparent and cooperative relation between science and society. This
implies developing a shared understanding and common views on policy challenges and opportunities based on sound evidence and continuous exchanges with policy advisors and shapers active at national level. In that regard, there is a need to help the transparent
networking of R&I Think Tanks across the EU to strengthen and enlarge their input to the co-design of R&I policy.
Specific Challenge: The times of social, economic, technological and cultural changes we live in generate opportunities as well as new challenges for people, society and culture. Innovations will bring (assumed) benefits and (perceived) threats. They may bring economic progress but also societal anxieties and feelings of insecurity. Technological changes will affect employment and production as well as ethics, trust, legal frameworks, decision-making processes, social protection mechanisms, education and learning. At the same time, society will shape these technological changes. The changes will open discussions on values and identities, principles of democracy, questions of social justice, cohesion and inclusion, knowledge and information and the meaning of work and leisure. There will be changes in the way people communicate with each other (and, increasingly, with machines and robots) and find meaning in their lives. To ensure that future innovations and decision-making are imaginative, culturally and historically informed, ethically grounded and context-specific, a knowledge base on the contexts, processes and consequences of innovations is needed.
Specific Challenge: The combined effects of technological transformations, of trade and globalisation have created winners and losers in Europe and in the rest of the world. European economies are confronted with the co-existence of skill shortages, high unemployment, increased inequalities in income and wealth, asymmetrical labour mobility within Europe, as well as emigration and immigration. These structural imbalances need to be addressed, because political concerns in the Western world, and in particular in the European Union, relating to future challenges for shared prosperity are growing, in a context of uncertain futures. Following the assessment of the impact of technological progress, trade and globalisation on skills, employment, inequalities in income and wages and on labour mobility and migration in the EU, realistic and accurate projections into the future on the combined effects of technological progress and globalisation are needed to prepare our economies, societies and policies for what is to come and to build up capacities for influencing these changes.
- « Pilot on using the European cloud infrastructure for public administrations » – DT-GOVERNANCE-12-2019-2020
Specific Challenge: Given the complexity of our societies, public authorities need innovative means and tools that can enable them to develop better evidence-based policies. The development of such policies needs to involve local actors such as citizens and businesses, in order to better inform policy-making while ensuring higher levels of acceptance for policies and of trust in the authorities. Data analytics and usage of cloud infrastructure to gain access to shared data can help improve policy making at all levels, national but also local. Moreover, engaging citizens and local actors in the generation of data or in the analysis of ‘big data’ and its ethical issues can assist local governance.

After securing a comfortable 3-0 win over Qarabag in the Europa League, Arsenal will be heading towards the Craven Cottage to face-off against Fulham in the Premier League.
Since returning to the English top flight, the Cottagers struggled with consistency, as their so far performance is highlighted by various ups and downs. With a record of one win, two draws, and four defeats, the Lily Whites are currently tied for the 16th place with a 3-point lead over Newcastle United who are in the danger zone. Additionally, in the last four league games, Slavisa Jokanovic’s team failed to clinch a victory, losing two times, to Everton and Manchester City, while playing out two draws, with Brighton and Watford.
Meanwhile, the Gunners have notably raised their game following a slow start of the season. Although the north London outfit suffered two straight draws, to Chelsea and Manchester City, Unai Emery has managed to drag his team out of the dark. With five straight Premier League triumphs, Arsenal currently trail the leaders by four points, as they sit in fifth place. As for their Europa League journey, the EPL giants comfortably top the Group E with a maximum of two wins and a +5 goal difference.
Joe Bryan, Timothy Fosu-Mensah, and Neeskens Kebano are ruled out with injuries in the home squad, while Petr Cech, Laurent Koscielny, and Ainsley Maitland-Niles won’t be playing for the visitors. As for Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, his appearance still hangs in the balance.

Taha has also added an option to allow users to manually adjust the angle of the torque-vectoring motor for the pump, as well as adjust the torque vectoring rate.
Taha’s hydraulic power system can be set to automatically adjust the pump torque to the maximum torque vector, and the user can manually set the speed of the pump at which the pump rotates.
Taha says it is designed to provide maximum power to the pump without requiring the user to manually calibrate it.
Tightening the torque in the hydraulic system can help alleviate some of the bottlenecks when it comes to pump performance.
Tahas pump is designed with an internal bearing to ensure the pump will never slip out of the water when the pump is not tightened.
Tahas Hydraulic System also includes an on-board digital control for the Hydraulic Motor Control System, which allows the user (via touch-screen) to tune the motor to suit their own needs.

It doesn't happen very often when four young kids ... that's right, 1 - 2 - 3 - 4 kids ... can come together in a restaurant and become instantly silent as the first plate of food comes to the table. Not only that, when all four of them can say after the meal is over that they really liked the food and can't wait to come back, you know there's something particularly special here. Credit the Truffle Parmesan Fries, the Tomatillo Pork Enchiladas, or the Bachelor Omelette, the folks at the Mercedes Grille had it going on the morning of our visit. Good food, a fun service staff, and a by-the-beach atmosphere certainly guarantees our return.
Mercedes Grille is owned by Mersedeh Ahrablou who, as the story goes, collected just enough cash after twelve years of waitressing around the seaside town to establish this quaint eatery. Cuban and Caribbean specialties are the featured staples on a menu that takes you through the day: breakfast, lunch, dinner, and well into the night.

In honor of it being “Throwback Thursday,” I’m going to take you way back in the day! An all-time classic throwback is our Quiet Storm Slow Jam Of The Night! Every time I hear Lenny Williams “Cause I Love You,” I basically have to stop what I’m doing and listen to all seven minutes and three seconds of the song!Way before Keith Sweat was accused of begging on his records in the 80’s and 90’s, Lenny was doing it in the 70’s! This is truly the classic song where the man pours out his heart and all of his soul to his lady!
Many of you may not realize that Lenny Williams before his solo career, was the lead singer of the famous band Tower of Power, known for their amazing horn section! So ladies, whenever a man plays this for you, just hear him out and let him beg!
Enjoy this rare video of Lenny performing “Cause I Love You,” which by the way has over 3 million hits on You Tube! Not bad for a 70’s throwback!

I could live there!
The colorful beauty of the fallen never ceases to delight me.
I love all things autumn.
American pumpkins are pretty than Macedonian, but the Macedonians are so sweet and rich flavored – like pumpkin pie without any other ingredients.
Fall is my favorite season. Outdoors is my favorite place to be. Apples, cheese, bread and wine are my dinner of choice.
Ahh, so peaceful.
Chagrin Falls, a Western-Reserve town and its central feature.
This quaint New England-ish “village” offers great restaurants and relaxing nooks and crannies.

Their modus operandi is based on ambush and lightning attacks, withdrawing and dispersing with speed before the enemy can locate them. Owing to the type of operations they do the motto of the TankHunter Regiment is: Wait, fire and run.

LaCYGNE, Kan. -- Fort Scott High School's volleyball team "Rose to the challenge," in the words of head coach Carol Bingesser here Thursday as they swept non-league matches in two sets each.
The Tigers defeated former Southeast Kansas League rival Iola 25-22, 25-14 and downed Prairie View 27-17, 26-24.
"I was extremely proud of the way we stayed into these matches mentally," Bingesser said. "We talked extensively about our mental toughness and how we needed to improve mentally before we could ever rich our potential."
Against Iola, which is now a member of the Pioneer League along with Prairie View, Brianne Lawrence and Sidney Maycumber recorded four kills and three blocks each. Maddi Allen dished five assists while Meredith Hill handed out five. Paige Denton had eight digs and Shelby Maycumber had five.
In the Prairie View match, the Tigers (3-4) trailed 20-15 in the second set when Bingesser decided to burn her last time out.
"I told the girls here is your opportunity to prove that you can mentally stay focused and finish this game," Bingesser said. "And they did, every girl did their part whether they were on the court or on the bench."
Ericah Shoemaker had eight kills for the Tigers. Allen had 12 assists while Hill dished six and Denton finished with 18 digs.
Fort Scott plays at home Thursday at 4:30 with Wellsville and Paola coming to the FSHS gymnasium for a triangular.

Bill C-59, the Liberals’ new national security legislation, is a cleaned up continuation of the Tories’ infamous and draconian Bill C-51 – which the Liberals voted for despite mass country-wide protests. Their 2015 campaign promise to amend C-51 if elected were widely understood to mean they would rewrite it to expunge the dangerously authoritarian, repressive and anti-democratic core of the legislation. Two years later, the Liberals have produced C-59, the twin brother of C-51, cleaned-up, but no less dangerous to our civil, labour and democratic rights.
Much attention in this Bill is given to oversight, and with good reason. In 1984, following the McDonald Commission Report into RCMP wrong-doing, CSIS was set up to separate policing from intelligence gathering, and steps were taken to establish oversight to keep the RCMP law-abiding, and to end its extensive illegal activities, which included extensive spying and ‘dirty tricks’ aimed at the labour and democratic movements, political parties and movements in Quebec, and left-wing political parties and individuals (including the Communist Party). The dirty tricks included break-ins, forgeries, a barn-burning in Quebec, wiretaps, and many other illegal acts. This was the RCMP’s modus operandi.
The McDonald Commission concluded that oversight by a separate new organization was essential. That was to be the function of SIRC – the Security Intelligence Review Committee.
Bill C-59 combines national security and oversight into one conglomerate organization, so that the spies and spooks will now be self-regulating under a new “super-SIRC”. Stream-lined it is, but very dangerous to democracy at home and abroad. Furthermore, much hinges on the political views of the government of the day, since “the Minister” has the power to approve all of the agency’s activities. A Tory government would say “yes” to whole lot of things that Canadians would find unacceptable. What would the Liberals do? We’re getting a taste of that now.
With the new Liberal foreign and “defence” policies of actively participating in US and NATO wars of aggression around the globe, and increasing military spending by 70% to pay for it, it’s clear the government’s policy is not peace-keeping, but regime change. This is illegal under the UN charter, but that hasn’t stopped the US or its NATO allies, including Canada.
Bill C-59 also makes clear that the government’s domestic policy is to pick up where the RCMP left off in the 1970s, and for the same reasons: protests by the labour and democratic movements are seen as a threat to corporate profits, and to the policies of the governments that serve them. Opposition to resource extraction and pipeline projects, to austerity policies, and to legislation like Bill C-51 are recent examples.
But the Liberals will do the job of tightening up Canada’s security state with a bit more finesse, and a nicer veil of justification than the Harper government could ever produce.
This Bill defines activity that undermines the security of Canada as “any activity that undermines the sovereignty, security or territorial integrity of Canada …. (including) interference with the capability of the government of Canada in relation to intelligence, defence, border operations or public safety.”
This includes: “significant or widespread interference with critical infrastructure; significant or widespread interference with the global information infrastructure as defined in … the National Defence Act; and conduct that takes place in Canada and that undermines the security of another state.”
And this: “For the purposes of this Act, advocacy, protest, dissent or artistic expression is not an activity that undermines the security of Canada unless carried on in conjunction with an activity that undermines the security of Canada.”
So much for the Charter of Rights and Freedoms, and the right to protest and dissent.
C-51 allowed for arbitrary arrest and detention on suspicion of future wrong-doing. C-59 also allows for preventative arrest and detention, but requires a bit better explanation regarding the likelihood of future wrong-doing.
The new Bill also allows for widespread disruption inside and outside Canada, including intercepting and interference with communications, financial transactions, and the movement of individuals. It allows for widespread spying and covert activity aimed at information gathering and sharing with other government agencies. (Revenue Canada? Health Canada?)
C-59 will continue to gather names and other information of individuals to add to the no-fly list, which arbitrarily prevents access to air transport; but does allows the Minister to inform parents if their child is not on the no-fly list.
C-51 allowed CSIS agents broad powers to act, but Bill C-59 gives them new powers to break the law. The Bill repeatedly and solemnly affirms that security forces, including CSIS, CSE, CBSA, and their agents must obey the law, and especially the Charter of Rights and Freedoms, before going on to explain extensive exceptions to the rule. If someone’s life is in danger, or if time is an issue, the rules can be thrown out the window almost anytime, if the higher ups agree. The only requirement to ignore the Charter rights of an individual or organization, is to secure a secret warrant from a judge. The justification? National security. The agents involved will all be immune to prosecution for their illegal acts. In fact, illegal acts is the name of the game.
What is prohibited, without exception? Violating the sexual integrity of a person is not allowed. Torture is not allowed. Causing death or bodily harm intentionally or by negligence – not allowed. Neither are obstructing, perverting or defeating the course of justice or democracy. (This last one is rich, and the first three are not believable given Canada’s role in Afghanistan and elsewhere.)
C-59 also gives broad protections to agents involved in spying, disruption, and other covert activities. While the Bill says the security and intelligence forces must obey the law and the Charter, they then set out the exceptions, which include … national security.
Bill C-59 was introduced June 20 and has just passed first reading. The Tories have panned the legislation as not going far enough. The corporate owned media says it’s just fine. The Trudeau government has indicated it will seek public input – let’s give it to them loud and clear.
The Communist Party will oppose this legislation with all of the tools at hand, including briefs, protests, public speaking, articles, and a campaign to expose and defeat the Bill. We call on the labour and democratic movements to also use all their tools to stop this Bill from becoming law. A mass opposition across the country, that includes protests, petitions, demonstrations, letters to the editor, calls to talk shows, motions and resolutions, are all ways to stop this Bill its tracks, before it is used to attack civil, social, labour, and democratic rights.
Along with this, we demand the repeal of Bill C-51, should it survive this session of Parliament. We call for an end to legislation and political action by the Liberals and Tories that threaten peace and security, including their support for state terrorism and regime change by NATO and the US, and their moves to undermine democracy and civil, labour and democratic rights in Canada.
The time to act is right now.


Monitoring physical-biogeochemical interactions from space
Water leaving radiance signals in the UV / visible / NIR are sensitive to the presence of phytoplankton, other organic and inorganic particles and coloured dissolved organic materials (CDOM). OCRS therefore provides a unique window onto biogeochemical processes from space. We are leading a new avenue of research looking at coupled physical-biogeochemical processes by combining OCRS and Sea Surface Temperature imagery with state of the art models for shelf sea dynamics.

Bob Dylan has been known to mess with people's expectations when playing the songs they love (which he wrote) in concert, and At Budokan is an excellent testimonial to that. Between flute-driven opener "Mr. Tambourine Man" and versions of "Love Minus Zero/No Limit" and "Ballad of a Thin Man" that sound like they're being performed by a lite rock band, you can actually hear the audience becoming indignant. Yes, a reggae "Knockin' on Heaven's Door" -- with flute solo. Plus "Blowin' in the Wind," "The Times They Are A-Changin'" and "Maggie's Farm" are practically middle fingers. This album rules.

For newly promoted military lieutenant colonel Sean Drummond, his most modern task begins barely enough: discover if the loss of life of 1 of D. C. 's so much influential protection officers was once homicide or suicide. so much investigators could name it a cut-and-dried case, yet not anything is ever that simple.
Teamed with Bian Tran, the sexy military army Police officer investigating the case, Drummond is ready to embark on a trip that takes him from the labyrinthine channels of yank intelligence to the killing rooms of Iraq. None of will probably be more challenging than navigating the shadowy minds and motivations of his enemies and so-called colleagues.
What Drummond uncovers will make him query every thing he believes in. as the extra he digs, the extra he learns concerning the key players-American and center Eastern-in a conflict that rages bloodier on a daily basis. A conflict the place betrayal is an everyday prevalence and makes him ask: Are my loyalties to my superiors or to the yankee squaddies fighting for his or her lives?

Extra info for Abissi e Inferi
The danger experienced by the translator is hastily displaced onto the integrity of the texts. Dobson uneasily reins in her anxieties about the threats posed by the texts and substitutes them with the conventional appeal to what may be called, in light of her subject, the chivalry of her readers, when she begs their indulgence for the inevitable weaknesses her gender will impart to the translation. 25 In the end, chivalry is a condition of, as well as the basis for, her translation. When she publishes her translation of de Saint-Pelaie's (now de Saint-Palaye) Memoirs of Ancient Chivalry five years later, Dobson maintains a stronger grip on her text, and her own relation to her source material.
The 1790s will make extensive use of chivalric imagery; it will have a great need for its tropes. Much of what it understood about the romance it inherited from Hurd, Reeve, et al. The actual details of troubadours and chivalry, however, were supplied by Susannah Dobson in two thick volumes, The Literary History of the Troubadours (1779) and Memoirs of Ancient Chivalry (1784), both translated from the French of M. de Saint-Pelaie (or Palaye), but extensively annotated by Dobson. The two volumes demonstrate the more conflicted, fluid approach to the romance that will characterise the 1790s; Dobson's indecision regarding the overall benefit of chivalry to society finds its analogue in, in Duff's words, the 'fundamentally unstable' 'language of romance and chivalry' (133; Duff's emphasis).

text: Florida Senate - 2018 (Proposed Bill) SPB 7024 FOR CONSIDERATION By the Committee on Rules 595-03524-18 20187024pb 1 A bill to be entitled 2 An act relating to public records; amending s. 3 119.071, F.S.; providing an exemption from public 4 records requirements for the address of a victim of a 5 crime of mass violence that has occurred on the 6 grounds of a K-12 school or a postsecondary education 7 institution or the address of an immediate family 8 member of a victim which is contained in a report of a 9 law enforcement agency and held by an agency; 10 providing for retroactive application; providing for 11 future legislative review and repeal; providing a 12 statement of public necessity; providing a directive 13 to the Division of Law Revision and Information; 14 providing an effective date. 15 16 Be It Enacted by the Legislature of the State of Florida: 17 18 Section 1. Paragraph (o) is added to subsection (2) of 19 section 119.071, Florida Statutes, to read: 20 119.071 General exemptions from inspection or copying of 21 public records.— 22 (2) AGENCY INVESTIGATIONS.— 23 (o) The address of a victim of a crime of mass violence 24 that has occurred on the grounds of a public or private K-12 25 school or a public or private postsecondary education 26 institution or the address of an immediate family member of a 27 victim which is contained in a report of a law enforcement 28 agency and held by an agency is confidential and exempt from s. 29 119.07(1) and s. 24(a), Art. I of the State Constitution. This 30 exemption applies to such records held before, on, or after the 31 effective date of this act. This paragraph is subject to the 32 Open Government Sunset Review Act in accordance with s. 119.15 33 and shall stand repealed on October 2, 2023, unless reviewed and 34 saved from repeal through reenactment by the Legislature. 35 Section 2. The Legislature finds that it is a public 36 necessity that the address of a victim of a crime of mass 37 violence that has occurred on the grounds of a public or private 38 K-12 school or a public or private postsecondary education 39 institution or the address of an immediate family member of a 40 victim which is contained in a report by a law enforcement 41 agency and held by an agency be made confidential and exempt 42 from public records requirements. Without this exemption, the 43 victim, or an immediate family member of a victim, could be 44 subject to further emotional trauma and threats to personal 45 safety. Furthermore, the disclosure of such an address could 46 place a victim or an immediate family member of a victim at risk 47 of harassment or less likely to cooperate with law enforcement 48 agencies in any subsequent investigation. The harm that may 49 result from the release of the victim’s or immediate family 50 member’s address outweighs any public benefit that may be 51 derived from the disclosure of the address. The public records 52 exemption preserves public oversight as the exemption is 53 narrowly drawn to only apply to the victim’s or immediate family 54 member’s address contained in the report of a law enforcement 55 agency. The Legislature further finds that the exemption should 56 be given retroactive application because it is remedial in 57 nature. 58 Section 3. The Division of Law Revision and Information is 59 directed to replace the phrase “the effective date of this act” 60 wherever it occurs in this act with the date this act becomes a 61 law. 62 Section 4. This act shall take effect upon becoming a law.
