HRP Primary Antibody
Chemiluminescent detection systems have emerged as the best all-around method for detection of Western blots. They eliminate the hazards associated with radioactive materials and toxic chromogenic substrates. The speed and sensitivity of these methods are unequalled by traditional alternatives. Because results are generated on film, it is possible to record and store data permanently, and blots detected with chemiluminescent methods are easily stripped for subsequent reprobing with additional antibodies. HRP (Horseradish Peroxidase) conjugated secondary antibodies are utilized in conjunction with specific chemiluminescent substrates to generate the light signal. HRP-antibody conjugates have a very high turnover rate, giving good sensitivity with short reaction times.

Objective: Asymptomatic carotid stenosis is the most frequent indication for carotid endarterectomy (CEA) in the United States. Published trials and guidelines support CEA indications in selected patients with longer projected survival and when periprocedural complications are low. Transfemoral carotid artery stenting with embolic protection (CAS) is a newer treatment option. The objective of this study was to compare outcomes in asymptomatic, nonoctogenarian patients treated with CAS vs CEA. Methods: Patient-level data was analyzed from 2544 subjects with ≥70% asymptomatic carotid stenosis who were randomized to CAS or CEA in addition to standard medical therapy. One trial enrolled 1091 (548 CAS, 543 CEA) and another enrolled 1453 (1089 CAS, 364 CEA) asymptomatic patients less than 80 years old (upper age eligibility). Independent neurologic assessment and routine cardiac enzyme screening were performed. The prespecified, primary composite endpoint was any stroke, myocardial infarction, or death during the periprocedural period or ipsilateral stroke within 4 years after randomization. Results: There was no significant difference in the primary endpoint between CAS and CEA (5.3% vs 5.1%; hazard ratio, 1.02; 95% confidence interval, 0.7-1.5; P = .91). Periprocedural rates for the components are (CAS vs CEA): any stroke (2.7% vs 1.5%; P = .07), myocardial infarction (0.6% vs 1.7%; P = .01), death (0.1% vs 0.2%; P = .62), and any stroke or death (2.7% vs 1.6%; P = .07). After this period, the rates of ipsilateral stroke were similar (2.3% vs 2.2%; P = .97). Conclusions: In a pooled analysis of two large randomized trials of CAS and CEA in asymptomatic, nonoctogenarian patients, CAS achieves comparable short- and long-term results to CEA.

Michael Black provides some football training advice.
It is fair to say that sports science has undoubtedly had a massive impact on professional football over the past couple of decades. The sport has become much more technical than was once the case, both in terms of training techniques and how the game is played.
As Football Today and other football news sites have documented at length, improved soccer rules have given protection to flair players, helping to make elite-level football more expressive and expansive. However, it is important to remember that football goes far beyond the professional ranks, with the pyramid stretching down to amateur leagues.
Players lower down the scale do not enjoy the same luxuries afforded to professionals in sports science. We take a closer look at some of the critical elements of elite football training that help improve amateur teams' fortunes.
Many amateur clubs overlook the importance of pre-season preparation, and this can cost them dearly when the competitive action gets underway. In addition to intensive training sessions, professional clubs will generally organise a series of friendly matches to bring their players up to speed.
While most amateur clubs are unlikely to embark on summer tours, fitting two or three warm-up matches into the schedule should certainly be feasible. Indoor summer leagues are another excellent way for amateur players to keep fit, although it is essential to consider rest and recovery, which we will cover later.
Professional footballers have it easy to keep fit, with their clubs able to provide them with all the tools they need to stay in tip-top shape. Amateur players are not so fortunate, emphasising resting with the individual to maintain their fitness.
Negotiating a discounted rate with a local gym is a sensible way to encourage players to improve their fitness and build team spirit. With one or two weekly training sessions also thrown into the mix, amateur-level teams can give themselves a massive advantage over their opponents.
Top-class players regularly work with sports psychologists who provide them with mental techniques to improve performance. While it is unrealistic to think that amateur teams have the resources to mirror this, there are several simple ways that coaches can help players improve their mindset.
Teaching players to focus on simple goals is a great place to start, helping to improve performance in achieve stages rather than setting unrealistic aims. Sports Today and other sports sites have been raising this point for a long time – sports, in general, need to be honest and accountable around mental health. Encouraging players to research how the best players reached the top of their profession is another excellent way to boost personal development.
Work and family commitments often make it difficult for amateur clubs to find the time to foster that all-important team spirit. Generally speaking, amateur players may meet up a couple of times a week for training and once at the weekend when the league season is underway.
It is imperative to add other get-togethers into the mix, such as trips away or Christmas parties, to help create a sense of belonging. Involving family members in these events will strengthen the community and create a positive environment around everything the club does.
Numerous studies have shown that eating a nutritious diet can have a significant impact on improving athletic performance. Top players are often provided with personally tailored diet plans by nutritionists to adhere to throughout the year.
While lifestyle demands may make it difficult for amateur players to stick rigidly to a healthy diet, clubs should encourage them to do so as much as possible. Eating a balanced diet and staying well hydrated are excellent lifestyle choices to make, regardless of whether someone plays football or otherwise.
Rest & recovery
As we alluded to earlier, research has shown that rest and recovery are tremendously essential factors in athletic performance. Amateur players should be encouraged to warm up and warm down before any physical activity, thus helping them avoid unnecessary injuries.
Sleep also improves performance – a point highlighted by clubs such as Manchester United and Real Madrid employing sleep coaches to work with players to formulate sleep plans. Getting the optimum amount of sleep each day provides players with the platform to function correctly and contribute positively to on-field performances.
Football has traditionally been a sport where small margins can significantly impact the outcome of a game. While remembering that amateurs generally play for the love of the sport, winning is always a much better feeling than losing.
On that basis, incorporating elite-level training tips into your amateur club will give players a much better chance of achieving their goals.

Minimum Wages Rising in Connecticut? Not Now, But Some Employers Are Voluntarily Increasing Wages
In Connecticut, minimum wage is currently $10.10 an hour. However, localities across the country, including Connecticut’s neighbor New York City, have rapidly been increasing the minimum wage to $15.00 an hour. In fact, this has been a movement sweeping the nation for years. Taking notice, employers in Connecticut are beginning to voluntarily take action, unprompted by the legislature, to increase their minimum wage.
Hartford HealthCare (“HHC”) recently announced it will raise its minimum wage to $15 an hour in March 2019. Of the approximately 20,000 employees HHC employs, 2,400 will benefit from this increase. It remains to be seen if other employers in Connecticut will follow.
The legislature, however, is likely to take notice. After the last election, the legislature is overwhelmingly Democratic – a party which historically passes employee friendly legislation. An increase in the minimum wage is just the sort of law which is likely for them to take up. Therefore, employers should closely monitor the news from Hartford as minimum wage in Connecticut may soon be on the upswing.
Brody and Associates regularly advises management on complying with state and federal employment laws including wage and hour laws. If we can be of assistance in this area, please contact us at firstname.lastname@example.org or 203.454.0560.

SEOUL-- Major South Korean utilities firms and manufacturers have urged the government to take measures to stabilize the carbon market, as supply shortages are driving up the price of emissions credits, industry officials said Wednesday.
The Korea Chamber of Commerce and Industry (KCCI) has delivered a petition by 21 companies, including the state-run Korea Electric Power Corp, Hyundai Steel co. and LG Chem Ltd., to the ministries of environment, finance and energy, to address their concerns regarding the carbon trading system.
Under the country's greenhouse gas emissions trading system (ETS) launched in January 2015, 600 local companies are given Korean allowance units (KAUs) to buy extra emissions rights when they surpass their own quota.
In order to facilitate the ETS market, the government allows other businesses that are not subject to the cap-and-trade scheme to sell their extra emissions rights on the exchange if they win approval.
The price of carbon credits per ton has risen from 16,600 won (US$15.3) in June 2016 to 24,500 won earlier this month, a rise of 47.6 percent. The price shot up to a record high of 28,000 won per ton on Nov. 24.
The utilities companies and petrochemical companies said lack of credits traded on the carbon market could hurt their net income in the short term and cloud their business prospects.
"Companies with extra carbon credits are not selling them, as the government is set to strengthen environmental regulations and prices are expected to rise further," they said.
The trading volume of carbon credits remained at 3 million tons in the latter half of this year, far lower than the 225.87 million tons of credits allocated to utilities companies this year.
"As the carbon trading system is an artificial market created by the government and a key trading platform that decides a nation's industrial competitiveness, the government should actively step in to resolve the imbalance between supply and demand," the petition said.
Companies that fail to meet the emissions target are subject to fines of up to triple the ETS market price.
South Korea is planning to curb greenhouse gas emissions by 37 percent from 2030 business-as-usual levels.

KENNEBUNKPORT, Maine — It’s 800-plus degrees in Jill Strauss’ backyard. Yet the apron-clad owner of Jillyanna’s Woodfired Cooking School keeps her cool helping students magically turn balls of just-made pizza dough into canvases for crusty, fragile Neapolitan pies.
Thrusting caramelized onion and chorizo-topped pizzas into a blazing wood-fired oven and pulling out spectacular gourmet discs every 90 seconds is part of the show.
“Neapolitan pizza requires great heat. Wood is the perfect method,” said Strauss, a restaurant veteran who spent weeks in Naples, Italy, learning to make these thin-crust-in-the-center but puffy-on the-edges pies invented centuries ago in the old country. An intensive class with a fourth-generation pizzaiolo who was “yelling at me in Italian for two weeks” was her baptism by fire.
As people across the country turn to slow cooking, ancient methods like wood-fired cooking have become increasingly more attractive. “There is a longing that people have to slow down,” said Strauss.
“I think we have a very busy society. Everyone is unbelievably stressed and hurried. It’s not just a cooking school but an opportunity to meet new people who share your passions.”
Scores of people sign up for Strauss’ classes and workshops, taught in her Kennebunkport backyard anchored by a stunning mortar oven surrounded in field stone and granite. Their motivation is multi-pronged. “It’s an experience to cook with wood. You are doing something that’s very old fashioned and gratifying,” said Strauss. “Being able to tame that fire and produce something so delicious with live fire … it’s almost like a sport.”
In Lyman, wood-fired bread-making classes at Turtle Stone Baking and Cooking School have soared in popularity in the last few years. Owner Michael Jubinsky, who worked for King Arthur Flour Company, opened the school nine years ago to fill a void. He’s not surprised the ancient ways are returning.
“With the invention of cast-iron stoves, people forgot 3,000 years of cooking history,” said Jubinsky, who models his business on the community ovens of Europe and the Middle East, where people gathered to make bread and socialize.
The rise of food TV showcasing dining as theater has helped fan the flames.
New places like Blaze in Bangor and stalwarts such as Cafe Miranda in Rockland and Fore Street in Portland, where wood-fired ovens rule the kitchen, underscore the trend’s staying power. Now all things wood-fired — from mobile food carts to workshops at the Kneading Conference in Skowhegan to businesses like Maine Wood Heat — are red hot.
“It’s just skyrocketed. There were a handful of oven makers a few years ago. Now there are literally dozens across the country,” said Jubinsky. “As people enter the empty-nester phase, they are putting wood-fired ovens in kitchens, you are seeing moderate-sized wood-fired ovens in houses.”
Practitioners like Jubinsky advise both home and restaurant chefs on the ins and outs of this rustic style of cooking, which requires more than culinary skill. Strauss stresses the importance of “babying your wood” and having a helper to assure the oven is at the right temperature to pull off your recipes. A wood splitter helps, too.
“The whole idea is to get back to the basics” said Jubinsky, whose artisan bread making classes
start “from an empty bowl.” After a six-hour session on a Saturday, a novice can return home with two crusty loaves and tales from the fire pit.
In a similar vein in Kennebunkport, Strauss is adding more classes to meet demand. Starting in July, she’ll teach a new wood-fired workshop for people who have a burning interest. The Johnson and Wales University grad will demonstrate how to make a Mediterranean supper, including casseroles and roasts. “It’s designed for people who are obsessed with cooking outside,” she said, an especially attractive option for people in Maine.
“I’ve only done wood-fired grilling,” said Dan Smith, a student from Gardiner in Strauss’ signature pizza class. “I would love to have something like that in my backyard. But it’s not in the cards.”
In the end, is this style of cooking superior to others? Does it produce meals head and shoulders above traditional grilling? “It’s just that it’s fun,” admits Strauss, who loves cooking under fire.

But he was silent, shy and coy.
Sam was a very bad guy
To decent work he never gave a try.
Never a bitter word was uttered from John`s mouth
But he was avoided and ignored. His fortunes were always going south.
Sam was a two faced conman
He smooth talked a lot of people with his partner Jason.
It is said that no two people are the same
Sam and John were the same person but with a different name.

It truly baffles me that most people in this fandom don’t know the difference between headcanon, fanon and canon.
Headcanon: Used by followers of various media of entertainment, such as television shows, movies, books, etc. to note a particular belief which has not been used in the universe of whatever program or story they follow, but seems to make sense to that particular individual, and as such is adopted as a sort of “personal canon”. Headcanon may be upgraded to canon if it is incorporated into the program or story’s universe.
Fanon: A term used in fanfiction to describe commonly accepted ideas among authors even if they are not actually expressed in the canon work.
Canon: Another word for official. Used quite often in fan fiction to differentiate between the official storyline in which the fan fiction is based on.

The Golden Eagles are entering their sixth season under head coach Chris Vito.
The Minnesota, Crookston baseball team will open the 2013 season Feb. 15 as the Golden Eagles travel to Minneapolis, Minn., for a doubleheader against Upper Iowa at the Hubert H. Humphrey Metrodome at 6 and 8 a.m. UMC has been practicing since Jan. 14.
The Golden Eagles are entering their sixth season under head coach Chris Vito. UMC is coming off of a 10-36 (4-28 NSIC) mark last season including memorable victories against Minnesota Duluth and Augustana.
UMC returns four players that started 30 or more games last season in the field led by UMC Players to Watch Josh Brehmer (Jr., IF, Roseville, Minn.) and Matt Korte (Jr., P/IF/OF, St. Cloud, Minn.). Brehmer led the Golden Eagles with a .346 batting average, 17 runs scored and 18 RBI’s. Korte hit .317 on the year and was also one of UMC’s top starting pitchers appearing nine times with 40.2 innings pitched with a 2-6 record and a 7.30 ERA. Korte leads a group of returning pitchers that is highlighted by five players, including Korte, who pitched in 25 or more innings last season. The Golden Eagles also return Joe Miller (So., P, Winona, Minn.), who led the team in ERA last season, Ryan Paasch (Jr., P, Sauk Rapids, Minn.), Brooks Miller (So., P/IF/OF, Moorhead, Minn.) and Kyle Kleven (So., P, Larimore, N.D.).
In addition to Brehmer and Korte in the field, the Golden Eagles also return a pair of seniors who started last season in Jordan Prill (Sr., 1B/OF/P, Melrose, Minn.) and J.C.

Crane hit. 229 last season with 40 games played, 13 runs scored and seven RBI’s.
The Golden Eagles also return a pair of players who played limited roles last season but will be looked for an added impact this season in Jesse Jennings (So., IF/OF, Robbinsdale, Minn.) and Jeremiah Friday (So., C/1B/3B, Rush City, Minn.).
In addition to the returnees, the Golden Eagles also expect contributions from their 13 newcomers to the team. At catcher Colton Haight (C/1B/OF, Rogers, Minn.), Mario Del Greco (Fr., C/UT, Eveleth, Minn.) and Ryan Haggstrom (Fr., C/1B, Apple Valley, Minn.) have been added to the fray. In the infield, Nathan Linstad (Fr., P/UT, Inkster, N.D.), Tony Madsen (Jr., IF, Mounds View, Minn.), Kameron Crandall (R-Fr., P/IF/OF, Zimmerman, Minn.), Cesar Espinoza (Sr., 1B, Eveleth, Minn.), Del Greco, Haight and Haggstrom will add to the team. In the outfield, newcomers Linstad, Crandall, Haight and Del Greco will compete.
As for pitching, newcomers Thane Larson (Jr., P, Grantsburg, Wis.), Richie Navratil (So., P, Blansko, Czech Republic), Jon Mittag (Jr., P, Glenville, Minn.), Trevor Buttermore (Fr., P, North St. Paul, Minn.), Marcus Campbell (Fr., P, St. Croix Falls, Wis.), Adrian Romo (Sr., P, Douglas, Ariz.), Linstad and Crandall will add to the pitching rotation this season.
The Golden Eagles begin the season with eight games at the Metrodome beginning with the doubleheader Feb. 15 against Upper Iowa and then remain in the dome Feb. 16 with a doubleheader versus University of Mary. UMC will return to the Metrodome Feb. 19 to face Valley City State University in a doubleheader and will come back for a fourth series versus Mayville State University Feb. 27.
UMC will then board a plane for the sunshine of Florida beginning with the Winning Inning Invitational in Clearwater, Fla., March 15-16 at the former spring training home of Major League Baseball’s Philadelphia Phillies. The Golden Eagles will have games against Upper Iowa University and Mansfield University during the tournament. UMC will then wrap up their Florida trip with a game against Florida Christian College March 19 at Tinker Field, the former spring training home of the Minnesota Twins.
The Golden Eagles will open the NSIC season March 24 and 25 with a pair of doubleheaders against Minnesota State University, Mankato at the Metrodome.
UMC’s assistant coaching staff for 2013 includes Dave Williams, Aaron Motl and Mitch Allore. Williams will serve as the team’s pitching coach and comes to the Golden Eagles from Minnesota State University, Mankato where he was a volunteer assistant for two seasons. Williams played at North Dakota State University. Motl, a former player who graduated in 2006, returns for his sixth season as catcher’s coach. Allore, who finished up his playing career last season after starting 43 games, stays on staff as a volunteer assistant and infield coach.

The Burlesque Assassins - Review of the Canadian film by Jonathan Joffe
A film by Canadian director Jonathan Joffe - starring Armitage Shanks, Koko La Douce, Kiki Kaboom and Roxi Dlite
World War II, Johnny Valentine and Katarina Molotov - lovers and partners in the fight against tyranny and fascism - have devised their best secret weapon, the Burlesque Assassins. Beautiful women who entice key officers in the Nazi regime; they seduce with their charm, ready for the kill. But in the midst of the Cold War, the two lovers embark on different journeys, crossing each other's paths at times, rekindling their affair.
Ten years later, 1956, Johnny is still deep into espionage with a special mission: intercept and take possession of a deadly weapon from the enemy. His latest recruit, Bourbon Sue, a wayward rockabilly, joins his team of seductress spies, Koko La Douce and Bombshell Belle. Their assignment: tempt and kill.
Written and directed by Canadian Jonathan Joffe, The Burlesque Assassins is full of humour, wit, and real burlesque. A story of espionage unlike any others, with charismatic characters who will keep you screaming with laughter from beginning to end.
The Burlesque Assassins is a comedy showcasing beautiful burlesque acts performed by real burlesque performers, performers who can laugh at themselves, remaining professional. Such a wonderful treat, and at last demonstrating on the big screen what true burlesque actors truly do; far from your Hollywood made up stories.
The London première of the film took place at the Bethnal Green Working Men's Club, in December. A venue renowned for hosting many burlesque events throughout the year, including the Double R Club, run by Rose Thorne and Benjamin Louche.
The première was organised by the Sean Mooney, creator of the production company, Beyond the Cabaret, specialising in cabaret, vaudeville and burlesque.
The première was attended by a vast audience, many of the spectators being connected to the burlesque scene. The room was buzzing with laughter, cheers and total delight.
Greeted by a fabulous compère Ophelia Bitz, with the reputation of being naughty and saucy, we had the pleasure to her singing followed by a series of short films, all about cabaret and burlesque, before the main feature film.
One of the main protagonists, Kiki Kaboom, made an appearance after the film, to the delight of the whole room. One of our most celebrated burlesque performers, Kiki has wowed the audience at many events, including the London Burlesque Festival.
The Burlesque Assassins is a must see...!
A true success and an absolute gem. All in all, a real winner...!

Outdoor weddings are always fun to shoot, especially when they are held on a prestigious golf course. This was my first encounter with Whistle Bear golf club, and despite seeing numerous wedding locations, I was impressed.
Melissa and Scott had decided exchanging their engagement session for family session after the wedding, so it was quite challenging meeting the groom for the first time at his wedding. The wedding couple weren’t comfortable posing in front of the camera so we decided on journalistic style coverage.
Children have a natural curiosity of their surroundings; therefore their son quickly became a focus point in the photography session.
A very sweet moment to document was during the ceremony when his parents were exchanging rings and he stood between them. He snuck in to get a better look and stared straight into the camera so timing was everything.
The wow factor at prestigious golf course outdoor weddings
Whistle Bear golf club was a dream to photograph but I had to get creative with my shots due to their strict policies. Being a prestigious golf course, we were not allowed to walk onto the green. This meant we had to cheat our shots to still make the most of the scenery as a backdrop.
Outdoor weddings typically take away the distractions and allow guests to focus their attention on the ceremony.
The outdoor set up for the ceremony featured the wedding couple standing in front of a gazebo on the golf course.
The venue wedding coordinator escorted us to a very picturesque forest area which offered a rustic look and immersed us in nature. The use of props offered a whimsical and fun feel to the wedding party compositions.
Not your typical golf course wedding
Once we headed inside for the reception we saw some emotional speeches and a special first dance. One of the options they had added to their package was the same day photo slide show. This was met with an overwhelming response from the family and guests. They loved being able to see a recap of their day in high quality images without the wait. In fact, this has become so popular that I now include it with all of my wedding collections.
No wedding would be complete without sneaking outside to take a silhouette of the wedding couple as they reflect on the gravity of their day. In this case, the rain drops merely added to the effect.
I am thankful that Melissa and Scott felt confident in my abilities, as outdoor weddings and the unpredictable elements always keep me on my toes.
My passion and biggest asset is taking the time to make every client comfortable and relaxed before I even pick up the camera. The result? Photos of you that actually look like you at your best! I can prove to you how much you can enjoy having your picture taken. Lifestyle photography is about the experience that happens to be served up along side of some great photos.
Family Photography for families that like to move around and enjoy their photo time, Wedding Photography for couples looking for a mixture of photojournalistic, contemporary and traditional images and Professional Corporate headshots that are far from cheesy and stiff.

Fernando Josef, TP artistic director, confirmed the news and said Ms. Estrella started in her new job March 1. She continues to teach at UP, but will now devote a large part of her time assisting Mr. Josef in managing the artistic and administrative requirements of Tanghalang Pilipino, CCP's resident theater company.
Mr. Josef said it was his idea to get Ms. Estrella onboard. “I need somebody who's more systematic than me--and you can quote me on that,” he said, chuckling. “People who know me, they know I'm more inclined towards the artistic aspects, so I need someone to put order on what I do.”
As associate artistic director, Ms. Estrella will assist in the company's season programming, monitor the quality of productions, and ensure the training of the TP Actors' Company. Her functions as executive director, on the other hand, involve administrative, financial and daily operations. Mr. Josef says Ms. Estrella and TP have agreed on a “testing period” of one year for the new arrangement.
“I'd like her to come up with a better system for our operations,” he said. “She can help us with clearer processes and procedures--for instance, we've had no manual of operations ever since, but I'd like one that would cover the entire process of putting up a production, from choosing the material, to auditioning the actors, to running the show and doing a post-mortem.”
Ms. Estrella, who has directed a number of TP productions (Troyanas and Ang Pokpok ng Ohio in 2005, Orfeo sa Impiyerno in 2006, Three Sisters: A Noh Play for the Virgin Labfest in 2007) will not direct any play in the current season, but Mr. Josef said she has expressed interest in developing a mobile theater piece for children that might be mounted in December 2009, as well as a special production featuring the TP Actors' Company.
An associate professor at the Department of Speech Communication and Theater Arts in UP Diliman, Ms. Estrella holds an MFA in Directing from Columbia University, New York City, through a Fullbright scholarship.
PLUS: Reviews of Ms. Estrella's directorial works--mine for Ang Pokpok ng Ohio (Hanoch Levin's The Whore From Ohio) here, Orfeo sa Impiyerno (Tennessee William's Orpheus Descending) here, Yoji Sakate's Three Sisters: A Noh Play here. Exie Abola's here, for Dulaang UP's 2007 production of Shakespeare's As You Like It.


Australia's Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA) has warned passengers to avoid checking some types of electronic devices into an aircraft's hold.
The organization said August 2 that passengers would see additional screening since lithium batteries, used to power items such as laptops, mobile phones, cameras and iPods, have been linked to a rise in dangerous goods incidents onboard airplanes in recent years.
It said that given certain conditions, the new type of battery is more susceptible to starting a fire as the energy contained in them is greater than that found in previous types of rechargeable or dry cell batteries.
"As these batteries have the potential to short circuit and burn under certain conditions, the preference is to have them carried in the cabin by passengers where the risk can be better managed," CASA's Director of Aviation Safety John McCormick said.
"Cabin crew and flight crew are specifically trained in the management and handling of dangerous goods incidents in the aircraft cabin, including those caused by lithium battery fires and can respond quickly if an incident arises."
Battery incidents are not uncommon on commercial flights, and evidence suggests that they are growing with the popularity of electronic goods, in some cases resulting in cabin fires which crew are trained to extinguish.
However, a fire in the cramped, inaccessible cargo hold presents a significantly greater risk to an aircraft and is considered a possible cause of a fire which resulted in the crash of cargo flight UPS006 last year in the United Arab Emirates, in which both pilots were killed.
Shortly after the crash, the US Federal Aviation Administration issued an urgent warning to airlines about the dangers of carrying large shipments of lithium batteries.
CASA said that passengers may now experience a small delay at check-in as airlines begin questioning passengers on whether their luggage contains batteries and advise on how to carry them safely.
The Civil Aviation Administration of China implemented new rules regarding transportation of electronic devices following a cabin fire involving a video camera in May.

City set for £20m bid for Real defender Pepe with Lescott poised for new deal
Manchester City are weighing up a fresh move for Real Madrid defender Pepe despite plans to offer Joleon Lescott a new contract.
City, who have closed a £24.5million deal for Sevilla striker Alvaro Negredo, have had a £15m bid rejected by Madrid, whose new boss Carlo Ancelotti is keen to keep the Portugal centre back. He is set to lose Raul Albiol to Napoli.
But Ancelotti has been told he must sell to help finance new signings and City must decide whether to raise their offer nearer £20m for a player who turned 30 this year.

Either way, they have already decided to give Lescott a new one-year deal with director of football Txiki Begiristain set to open talks with the England defender and his representatives over the next 48 hours.
Lescott has one year left on his contract.
Sevilla president Jose Maria Del Nido warned that the Negredo deal was on the brink of collapse, but it is understood that the two clubs are close to completing a transfer worth £21.5m with £3m in add-ons.
Negredo is expected to confirm the move today.
City are also trying to finalise terms on a deal for Fiorentina’s Stevan Jovetic.

I get scared that, if a story doesn't come quickly, it won't come at all. Summer leers at me, reminding me of how it is my fallow season, my dried-up withering just-breathing season, and if I have no story to carry with me into the drought, I will be silenced for months.
So I catch at everything and examine it close for possible story. Every song, every smile glimpsed across a room. I go back through what I've just written, wondering how I can spin it out, spin it on, make new story from old. I wrangle myths from passing moments and try to shake the god right out of sky so I can look into his lush mountain-coloured eyes and see there promises of love I might steal and turn into story.
Sometimes though, I get wise, and sit for a while in quiet. And then pig-farmer daughters and furious sorcerers and the women who live under oak-rooted puddles come to sit also in my quiet, drawn to the possibilities I offer them, just I am drawn to theirs. I have to remember not to grab them and eat their story-rich bones, but just stay ... listen ... wait ...
Nothing can come in to my imagination if I'm clutching white-knuckled, half-strangling, at any passing inspiration.

Original proceedings; petition for a writ of mandate to challenge an order of the Superior Court of Orange County, David C. Velasquez, Judge. Petition denied. (Super. Ct. No. 30-2010-00360268).
The opinion of the court was delivered by: Rylaarsdam, Acting P. J.
CERTIFIED FOR PUBLICATION
Lucy and Manatu Vuki lost their Buena Park home to foreclosure. The sale took place October 7, 2009, with their erstwhile lender, HSBC Bank USA (HSBC), as the buyer at the foreclosure sale. In early January 2010 the Vukis stipulated to entry of judgment in an unlawful detainer action (denominated a "Limited Civil" action) brought against them by HSBC. The stipulation provided for an immediate writ of possession, but allowed the Vukis to remain in the house until January 26, 2010.
However, the day before January 26, the Vukis filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy. It took HSBC just a little more than 60 days to obtain relief from the automatic stay, which it did on March 30, 2010. Six days after that, on April 6, 2010, the Vukis filed this state court action against HSBC for, among other things, statutory violation of Civil Code sections 2923.52 and 2923.53.
On April 9, three days later, they filed an application for a temporary restraining order seeking a stay of eviction. Three days after that, on April 12, the trial court denied the request for that restraining order. The eviction was thus free to proceed.
But then the Vukis filed this writ proceeding on April 16. On April 20 this court stayed the eviction pending further order. In particular, we wanted to consider the scope of Civil Code sections 2923.52 and 2923.53, a question of first impression. (All further undesignated statutory references will be to the Civil Code.)
We have now heard oral argument in this proceeding. Because of the importance of the statutory issues presented, we publish this opinion explaining the reasons we deny the requested writ. (See Hecht, Solberg, Robinson, Goldberg & Bagley LLP v. Superior Court (2006) 137 Cal.App.4th 579, 584 [denying petition but issuing opinion "in an effort to clarify" law on issue]; Greenlining Institute v. Public Utilities Com. (2002) 103 Cal.App.4th 1324, 1326, 1329 [same].)
In particular, we conclude that, unlike section 2923.5 as construed by this court in Mabry v. Superior Court (2010) 185 Cal.App.4th 208 (Mabry), neither section 2923.52 or section 2923.53 provides any private right of action, even a very limited one as this court found in Mabry.
We also address a related question of the operation of section 2923.54. Subdivision (b) of that statute is clear that: "Failure to comply with Section 2923.52 or 2923.53 shall not invalidate any sale that would otherwise be valid under Section 2924f." The Vukis, however, claim that the statute does not apply to lenders who themselves buy the property at foreclosure, i.e., to lenders who cannot claim the status of bona fide purchasers. This argument fails since any claim which the Vukis might have to invalidate the foreclosure sale based on sections 2923.52 and 2923.53 necessarily entails a private right of action which the statutes do not give them.
1. The Operation of Sections 2923.52 and 2923.53
a. Basic Requirements for a Loan Modification Program
Civil Code section 2923.52 imposes a 90-day delay in the normal foreclosure process. But Civil Code section 2923.53 allows for an exemption to that delay if lenders have loan modification programs that meet certain criteria. Before section 2923.52 was enacted, there was a minimum of three months from any notice of default until any foreclosure sale (§ 2924, subd. (a)(3)). After the enactment of section 2923.52, at least for certain loans, another 90 days must be included "in order to allow the parties to pursue a loan modification to prevent foreclosure." However, if lenders meet the requirements of section 2923.53, they are exempted from the 90-day delay imposed by section 2923.52.
Those requirements are set forth in subdivision (a) of section 2923.53. Readers should note the theme that the requirements are a matter of a general program, evaluated by regulatory commissioners:
"(1) The loan modification program is intended to keep borrowers whose principal residences are homes located in California in those homes . . . .
"(2) The loan modification program targets a ratio of the borrower's housing-related debt to the borrower's gross income of 38 percent or less, ...

Harishbabu’s review published on Letterboxd:
After the first 40 minutes, I thought I was going to hate this. It elevated a lot after that and it was one hell of an experience. All the techniques that is used kind of made the film better irrespective of its flaws. The main character 'Rosemary' played by Mia Farrow is always making stupid decisions and being victimized throughout the film. This made the film downright annoying for me because it's mostly centered around her suffering and torment.
This film is absolutely influential on modern horrors like Get Out and even on a musical like Annette. Even after the end credits, the effect of the film stays on the mind of the viewer for various other reasons regarding all the controversies surrounding it.

The One Inside
- By Sam Shepard
- 192 pp.
- Reviewed by Jason Tinney
- March 17, 2017
The legendary playwright/actor forges an innovative frontier novel for contemporary times.
“They’ve murdered something far off. Fighting over it. Yes. Screaming. Doing their mad cackle as they tear into its softness. He’s awake — 5:05 a.m.”
Sam Shepard is an early riser. Out of the chute, the Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright and actor goes straight for the throat in his latest literary offering, The One Inside, setting the tone for a sprawling, strikingly beautiful raw-bone odyssey where the past stalks the present like a specter that can find no rest; where the living cannot break the chains of the dead.
Despite how far the living run, seeking feeble solace in the brambles of isolation and rootlessness, the roots are never severed, while the same blood still stains the ground. Create an identity, but you’ll always be who you are. In essence, The One Inside is pure Sam Shepard — an American master of the surreal, the gothic, and the ties that bind.
The sojourn begins: An aging actor/writer awakes early, “even after a full Xanax, in anticipation of small demons — horses with human heads.” His dogs howl as morning and memories take shape — temporary digs of aluminum movie-set trailers, his young film-star face staring into a small four-by-four mirror framed by bare light bulbs, characters he’s portrayed.
“They’ve come and gone, these characters, like brief, violent love affairs…Forty some years of it. Too big. Hard to believe. Too vast. How did I get in here?”
Our narrator (let’s just call him the Actor) has a body that’s breaking down. He’s taking pills prescribed by an acupuncturist, but he’s not sure what they’re for. That’s not his only problem. The Actor is dealing with the sudden breakup with his wife of almost 30 years; and he’s got a young female companion — the Blackmail Girl — threatening to publish their conversations she’s recorded in a tell-all book.
And then there is the matter of his dead father, who visits him in a bombardment of visions. Tagging along is the ghost of Dad’s teenage girlfriend, Felicity, whom the Actor also slept with in his youth.
“Her mouth opened and I saw tiny animals escaping, tiny animals that were trapped inside her all this time,” the Actor remembers. “They flew out as though something might catch them and drag them back into imprisonment. I could feel them land on my face and crawl through my hair, searching for a hiding place. Each time she screamed, the animals flew out in small clouds like tiny gnats: little dragons, flying fish, headless horses.”
What’s a man to do? He runs, his whole life in pursuit, chasing him from the Santa Fe hills to the Oklahoma plains, every highway in between, no compass point untouched — real or imagined. With every memory, the Actor confronts a mile in a country that no longer exists; America is a ghost town, a movie set at best.
Described as “a work of long fiction,” The One Inside is a complex and fascinating read that straddles myriad forms. The author of more than 55 plays, including “Buried Child,” which won the Pulitzer, and three story collections — as well as roles in 60-plus films — Shepard, 73, knows what he’s doing.
Broken into short, fractured chapters, the book deftly navigates between traditional novel narrative, lyrical prose, and straight-up dialogue. A culmination of a life’s work is at play all at once, and every inch is infused with Shepard’s muscular prose, wry humor, keen eye, and rhythmic flourish. You feel as if he’s pulled the tanned leather right from his boots and the worn indigo fabric from his favorite pair of jeans.
Shepard once said he had no interest in writing an autobiography. “In a way, all the plays have been autobiographical, but not confessional…I've never read an autobiography where the protagonist isn't the hero of his story.”
At times, The One Inside strikes a memoir vein: allusions to the author’s split with longtime partner Jessica Lange, his tumultuous relationship with his alcoholic father, and his own struggle with the bottle. What does it matter? As Patti Smith writes in her wonderful foreword, “I set down the manuscript. It’s him, sort of him, not him at all. It’s an entity trying to break out, make sense out of things.”
After more than five decades of crisscrossing the country, putting rubber to asphalt, pen to journal, and pounding typewriters on “real paper,” Shepard can tell his story any way he damn well pleases. Let’s hope he keeps sharing.
Jason Tinney is a fiction writer, playwright, musician, and actor. "Fifty Miles Away," a play he co-wrote with Holly Morse-Ellington, won first place at the Frostburg State University Center for Literary Arts 2015 International One-Act Play Festival. His story collection, Ripple Meets the Deep, was named Best Book of 2015 by Baltimore Magazine.


Laser cutting machines for metal types, features, selection rules
Laser cutting is one of the most popular and technologically advanced methods of processing sheet materials. The technology is characterised by the highest precision, productivity and quality, which makes it an indispensable part of the production process in many industries. Laser cutting is performed by means of special equipment which is called laser cutting machines. The modern market offers several types of such machines, each of which has its own advantages.
Laser cutting advantages
High quality characteristics of laser machines find their application in auto-, ship-, aircraft engineering, metallurgy and construction industry. Laser cutting technology is used in manufacturing of electrical and home appliances, lifts, sea containers, advertising and construction metal constructions, etc.
In comparison with existing methods of metal processing the laser has an impressive list of advantages.
clean cut - products do not need any further processing, they can be directly welded or painted;
precision - the diameter of the beam is so small that it is possible to make through holes of the same diameter as the material thickness;
high productivity - the laser cutting speed may reach up to 50 m/m
minimum waste and lower material contamination due to non-contact technological process
quality of the produced material - the machine is controlled by the program which minimizes the risk of defectiveness, guaranteeing a complete identity of the serial production;
Low consumable costs.
With a laser machine you can make products with any complex outline. And all this with minimum costs and almost total automation of the process.
Types of laser cutting machines
Laser cutting equipment is classified based on the type of laser that is used. Each type is geared towards a specific task. The most popular in modern production facilities are:conventional CO2 lasers - pass electricity through a gas-filled resonator, mirrors are used to feed and focus the beam;Solid state lasers - operate with fiber technology which generates a beam through a series of laser diodes which is then fed through optical fibers.
Compared to CO2 lasers, fibre lasers are more efficient, but also more expensive. In the case of thicker metals, CO2 lasers are still the best choice. In addition to affordability, the technology has the advantage of being on the market longer, being more familiar and affordable.
Laser Cutting machine Selection criteria
There are a number of things to consider when choosing a laser metal cutting machine. These include the thickness of the metal to be cut and the production tasks to be performed. The quality of the bed, gas cleaning and fume extraction systems should also be taken into consideration.
Service and technical support are also an important part of the selection - a cost-effective purchase of such an expensive machine is only possible if it is continuously in operation.

French radio drama from the interwar to the postwar period (1922-1973)
Gray, Richard James
MetadataShow full item record
Radio drama, as a whole, is one of the most underappreciated popular literary forms of the past nine decades. With the advent of the radio, literary expression in the form of radio drama soon found another medium through which it might both entertain, educate, and propagandize. In France, in particular, the uses of radio drama continued to develop in conjunction with the evolution of radio in the periods before, during, and after World War II. This dissertation serves to provide a better understanding of the role of radio drama within French society from 1922-1973. It serves to highlight the emergence of French radio drama and to underscore its uniqueness. It seeks to interpret the intention and the progression of the medium beginning with the pre-World War II period and ending with the radio dramas of the mid-1970s. In addition, this study will show how theater profited from the arrival of radio. It seeks to define the literary history of radio drama during this period. Finally, this work aims to demonstrate how French radio drama of the Interwar to the Postwar period reflected the social and political realities of an ever-changing France. Radio itself became a place of political and cultural opposition. But radio also became an instrument through which the listener could communicate aurally with his environment. This new means of communication served foreign policy, propaganda, cultural and religious objectives that no one could have imagined. The Introduction will situate the advent of radio drama within its proper context and offer an overview of Western radio drama during the period under investigation. Chapter One serves to outline the medium and genre that one calls radio drama, a form of popular literature. It will present in detail the aesthetics of the radio drama and the various typologies that existed throughout the period before, during, and after the German Occupation. In my dissertation, I will make use of both representative radio dramas as well as exemplary ones in order to illustrate the dual capabilities of the genre. Chapter Two serves to highlight French radio dramas that emerged before German Occupation. It will examine representative dramas in detail by looking at radio drama as entertainment, propaganda and a reflection of the contemporary reality. The purpose of Chapter Three is to show the form and function of representative radio dramas that appeared during the period of German occupation. Chapter Four serves to analyze the evolution of French radio drama during the Postwar period. The chapter will examine the new frontiers of radio drama that were beginning to be explored after Liberation. The Conclusion presents an accounting of the results of this dissertation as well as presentation of new perspectives on the future of French radio drama in the Information Age.

Main Article Content
It has long been a fascinating area of research to examine the chemistry of heterocyclic molecules. An essential group of substances for the creation of novel drugs is heterocyclic nucleus 1,3,4-thiadiazole. In recent decades, the synthesis of novel thiadiazole derivatives as well as research into their chemical and biological behavior have become more crucial. A focus of ongoing research in medicinal chemistry is the hunt for antiepileptic substances with higher selectivity and lower toxicity. The pharmacological effects of various classes of thiadiazole compounds, including those with antimicrobial, anticonvulsant, antifungal, anti-diabetic, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and other activities, have been the focus of intense research in recent years. A significant global issue is the rise of drug resistance to current treatments.The versatile moiety thiadiazole has a wide range of biological effects.The thiadiazole moiety functions as a "two-electron donor system" and a "hydrogen binding domain." Additionally, it serves as a restricted pharmacophore.

A new gas field was recently discovered in the Nargis block of the eastern Mediterranean. Egypt hopes the new discovery will help it reach its aspiration of being a central energy exporter in the region.
Egypt’s Petroleum Minister Tarek El Molla made the announcement last week but didn’t specify details of the find in the Nargis block.
However, the Middle East Economic Survey (MEES) reported that the size of the new well in early December was 99.12 billion cubic meters (bcm) of gas.
The Nargis block in which the new gas field was found is one of four offshore exploration blocks that Chevron holds operating interests in, according to its website, along with Tharwa Petroleum, Egypt’s first nationally owned joint stock Petroleum company founded in 2004.
The US company is also looking to monetize gas in the region, including the use of floating LNG (FLNG) technology.
Egypt is gaining regional importance in the gas industry, with output reaching 67.8 bcm in 2021, according to BP, representing 1.7% of the world’s share and its best figure in a decade.
The production trend has declined since August 2021, and the first half of 2022 saw a 3.5% fall to 33.5 bcm, according to data reported by JODI.
To address the issue of a shrinking gas surplus, Cairo approved a series of measures to cut domestic gas consumption, which exceeded 60 bcm for the first time in 10 years.
In December 2021, the country’s natural gas exports were reported at 5,500 million cubic meters (mcm), which almost doubled from the same time last year at 2,910 mcm in December 2020, according to data reported by CEIC.
Why it matters
Egypt's newly discovered gas field is poised to help curb Europe’s dependency on Russian fossil fuels amid the ongoing Ukraine-Russia war.
Months after the Ukraine-Russia war began, the European Union signed a deal in June with Egypt and Israel to increase gas exports to Europe from the eastern Mediterranean.
“We want to get rid of this dependency,” said Ursula von der Leyen, president of the European Commission, at a press conference with Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi, who stated that Russia’s war against Ukraine had exposed Europe’s dependency on Russian fossil fuels.
For the benefit of Egypt, the finding could boost Egypt’s goals of becoming an energy hub in the region. This comes after the 2015 discovery by Eni of the giant Zohr gas field.
The Zohr gas field is considered to be the largest gas discovery in both Egypt and the Mediterranean, according to Eni, which owns a 50% stake in the block and is responsible for operations. Russia’s Rosneft is a 30% stakeholder, while BP and the UAE’s Mubadala have 10% shares.
The field is located in the Shorouk concession, which is about 190 miles north of Port Said, with production that at one time reached more than 76.46 mcm per day.
Al-Monitor obtained information from Palestinian and Egyptian officials about the success of Egyptian mediation in pushing Israel to allow the start of extracting natural gas off the coast of the Gaza Strip in October 2022.

Volvo Trucks North America has lowered its 2016 North American market forecast from 260,000 to 250,000, resulting in a decision to lay off more employees at the OEM's manufacturing plant in Dublin, Virginia. A UAW union official told Roanoke, Virginia, television station WDBJ that the company was shifting from producing 120 trucks a day to 92. "Last week, we advised employees at our New River Valley plant that we will reduce production in the early August timeframe as a step in our continued adaptation to market conditions," said Volvo Trucks North America spokesman John Mies.

Prosecutors recommend 14-month sentence for former UAW official Vance Pearson
Federal prosecutors are asking a judge to sentence former United Auto Workers official Vance Pearson to 14 months in prison — lower than sentencing guidelines based on his cooperation with investigators — for his role in an embezzlement scheme that brought down the union's top leadership.
Acting U.S. Attorney Saima Mohsin's office on Tuesday filed a sentencing memorandum and motion to reduce Pearson's sentence below the guideline range of 24 to 30 months. Prosecutors cited Pearson's "substantial assistance" in the case that has led to 15 convictions and six years of independent oversight of the union.
They also are asking the court to order that Pearson make restitution of $250,000 to the UAW and forfeit $119,000. U.S. District Judge Paul Borman will weigh the recommendations at a sentencing hearing scheduled for July 6.
Pearson was a close aide to former UAW President Gary Jones. He succeeded Jones as director of the UAW's now-dissolved Region 5 based in Missouri.
Pearson pleaded guilty in early 2020 for his role in the racketeering enterprise that involved UAW officials embezzling money from members to pay for lavish personal expenses. He agreed to cooperate with an investigation targeting former presidents Jones and Dennis Williams, both of whom have since been convicted and sentenced.
Pearson's role in the scheme was to help other UAW officials embezzle funds from the union. The plea deal portrayed Pearson as carrying out orders from Jones and Williams to rent private villas and buy large amounts of cigars and alcohol, and covering up expenses by filing phony reports with the union.
"While Pearson was not the mastermind of this scheme, he did have an important role in it," prosecutors wrote in the sentencing memo.
Under the plea agreement, Pearson and the prosecution agreed to cap his sentence at no more than 30 months. He also agreed to forfeit $81,000 from a so-called "flower fund" and $38,000 from a "Members in Solidarity" fund.
Prosecutors wrote that Pearson — the final UAW official awaiting a prison term — "enjoyed substantially less than Williams and many of the other top UAW officials" and that the guideline range "was reduced based on his minor participation."
Still, they wrote, his "actions and inactions substantially harmed UAW members, retirees and the union itself." They describe someone who "ascended the ranks of the UAW" but who "lost himself in the culture of corruption."
Pearson, they wrote, "made decisions and took actions that have cast a stain on the UAW and even the labor movement in general. His criminal activity has undermined the trust that the UAW had built up with its members, with union workers, and even with the general public.”
In a motion for downward departure filed Tuesday, prosecutors detailed Pearson's role in assisting the investigation into other top UAW officials who were implicated in the scheme.
In a series of in-person and phone interviews, they said, "Pearson was candid both about his own criminal activity, and about others' actions." He reportedly informed investigators of the existence of the "flower fund" and "Members in Solidarity" account, and agreed to testify against other UAW officials if necessary.
The flower fund originally was established to pay for flowers for autoworkers' funerals, but prosecutors have said that senior staff were forced to contribute to the fund, The Detroit News previously reported. And money in the Members in Solidarity account was supposed to pay for UAW election expenses.
Prosecutors credited Pearson's cooperation with the decisions by Jones and Williams to plead guilty, and with the implementation of independent oversight of the union.
Jones in June was sentenced to 28 months in prison for failing to pay taxes and helping to steal as much as $1.5 million from members. Williams was sentenced in May to 21 months in federal prison for his role in the scheme.
Stolen funds were used on personal luxuries including private villas, steak dinners, alcohol and golf gear.
Under the consent decree between the Justice Department and the UAW, the union will be under the oversight of an independent monitor for six years and a referendum by members will determine whether top UAW officials will be directly elected by rank-and-file members going forward.

-following public condemnation
Amid widespread condemnation for flagrantly breaching Code of Conduct for public offices, President George Weah’s governing Coalition for Democratic Change has withdrawn its recent campaign team for the December 8, 2020 senatorial election, flooded with senior and junior government officials.
The CDC recently appointed campaign teams to each of Liberia’s 15 counties, pre-dominantly involving officials from the public sector in complete violation of the Code of Conduct that requires public servants with political interest or desire to vie for elected posts, to quit government two years prior to election.
CDC Chairman Mulbah Morlu said the decision, taken with full acquiescence of the party’s Governing Council, is intended to sustain the rule-of-law as Liberia moves to another electoral period.
Addressing a news conference Thursday, 20 October at the CDC headquarters in Congo Town outside Monrovia, Chairman Morlu said he recognizes that in order to consolidate democratic gains the country has made over the years, there must be strict adherence to Liberia’s body of laws.
The ruling Coalition seems to be indicating thru its explanations that it has not been aware of the Code of Conduct for public officials, which is far from the truth, as it was in opposition, when the Code was drafted by the previous administration under ex-President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf.
Despite being fully cognizant, the ruling party ignored the Code and deliberately flooded its campaign teams with officials that should not involve in conflict of interest, particularly during elections, which could put rival candidates at undue disadvantage.
Immediately when the ruling party published names of its campaign teams, Liberians generally condemned the decision, pointing to violation of the law and demanding withdrawal of the lists that had prominent officials, including the Managing Director of the National Port Authority, Bill Tweway and the Executive Director of the Environmental Protection Agency Professor Wilson K. Tarpeh, among others. These two officials, under public pressure, subsequently declined.
At the same time Morlu admonished other parties too, including those in the opposition, to continue to abide by the elections guidelines.
While assuring the general public of the party’s commitment to do all in its powers to ensure a peaceful electoral process – bearing in mind that everyone has co-responsibility to maintain the peace the country enjoys, he said his decision doesn’t bar any Liberian from freely associating with the ruling party’s activities as guaranteed by the Constitution of the Republic.
He disclosed a meeting of the National Executive Committee of the Coalition for Democratic Change, held recently in Monrovia, has concluded a list of party faithful, who will be appointed shortly to complete the formation of its campaign committee, announcing November 29, 2020 as date for the launch of its campaign at the Samuel K. Doe Sports Complex in Paynesville. By E. J. Nathaniel Daygbor–Editing by Jonathan Browne

Only few soldiers acquire martyrdom status...
The State Police officers and National Security Guard (NSG) commandos who battled the 26/11 terrorists, literally swept away the national gallantry awards during the Republic Day, this year. Along with the three martyrs - Hemant Karkare, Ashok Kamte, Vijay Salaskar- who undoubtedly deserved the highest gallantry awards, even contribution of Tukaram Omble, Sandeep Unnikrishnan and Havildar Gajender Singh and many more, were recognised with Ashoka Chakra! Not just in terms of awards, the nation rightfully stood up in admiration to their unquestionable sense of duty and gallantry. But then, this is also a fact that not all such martyrs are bestowed with gratitude even when they sacrifice their precious lives for the nation! The death of paramilitary and state police personnel who fight the Maoists and Naxals in some of the remotest corners of the nation, is a regular affair. But then unfortunately their sacrifices not just go unreported but are treated in the most inconsequential manner! This type of prejudiced treatment is largely experienced by none other than India’s paramilitary forces. They count among world’s largest paramilitary forces. Yet it is evident that all that the nation cares about is the chest-thumping exercise which the ownership of such a huge paramilitary allows and rarely cares about giving them due importance and acknowledgement for their selfless work and sacrifice. Take for instance afew recent instances; almost 40 paramilitary personnel died in month of April alone. All the deaths can be attributed to the fight against the Naxals in the Naxal hotbeds of Chhattisgarh, Orissa, Jharkhand and Bihar.
Almost every day some or the other paramilitary jawan faces death in India. No doubt that media does mention about these events but with such a non-descript treatment that most of us won’t even know the names of even one personnel who gave his precious life away. In fact media alone cannot be blamed; even the Central and the State governments rarely talk about their sacrifices. Going by past precedence, jawans from the paramilitary forces who receive gallantry awards are generally sidelined by the media. Even when it comes to monetary compensation, there is a distinct difference between the type of compensation being given to the paramilitary and the army. It goes without saying that army gets much more. Not that the army does not deserve it but the question that remains unanswered is why the paramilitray is often deprived. Sadly, in our country the death of a soldier is completely inconsequential and it is only the circumstances that make the death of any consequence! Would the same honour have been bestowed on the 26/11 martyrs had the incident happened in some remote forests of Orissa, Jharkhand or Chattisgarh? I doubt! Let’s accept the fact that deaths in India become meaningful only when it is livecasted on television and the footsoldier give away their lives protecting some elite hotels or places like the Indian Parliament!! The lives of those CISF, BSF or CRPF jawans do not matter to us who too fight their heart out and similarly give away their lives while protecting the pillars of our democracy or PSUs like NALCO. So much so, that if some paramilitary personnel die fighting, their death is tagged as ‘deaths in action’ and is not even counted in the list of ‘Amar Jawan’. In a country where hundreds of police personnel die every month fighting Naxalites or organised crime, the only thing that matters is how big the event has been and who were the stakeholders. All in all, what finally matters is when you die and where you die but not how you die and why you die!! That's the tragedy of India.

Wollongong captain Oscar Forman believes the Hawks are poised to spring a hit-and-run job on unbeaten title favourites Perth tomorrow night.
The league-leading Wildcats are setting the pace with a 5-0 record and will be supremely confident of extending their streak to six games at Wollongong's expense.
Despite losing former NBL MVP Kevin Lisch in the off-season, the Cats are cruising along with new imports James Ennis and Jermaine Beal and still have injured centre Matt Knight to come back.
Wollongong lost their opening two games on the road before beating Townsville 85-81 at home last week.
Forman said the Hawks are determined to end Perth's impressive run before turning their attention to Sunday's home meeting with titleholders New Zealand.
"They're not sitting on a mantle unbeatable," Forman said.
"Sure, they're undefeated right now, but with the correct philosophies and strategies, they're there for the taking.
"In the past they've trapped our point guard and made everyone else get us into our offence, so we're going to make sure we're ready for their pressure. And when shots go up, we have to get strong position and compete as hard as they do for rebounds.
"If we stick to our defensive principles as a team and force them to take shots we want them to take, that'll go a long way towards winning the game."
The Cats showed how resilient and defensive-minded they are when they almost Sydney scoreless for the entire fourth quarter last Sunday.
Wollongong can expect to face similar defensive pressure tomorrow.
"Sydney have played them twice and taken it to them for the first three quarters in each game, and then just collapsed, so we have to be prepared to work hard and concentrate for the full game," Forman said.
"Getting a win last week was good, especially with the start to our schedule. You have to get that first home game to not only secure your home court, but also to know that feeling of winning."

QUICK TRAIL FACTS
- Preserve Size: 75 acres
- Trail Mileage: 1.3 miles in network
- Pets: yes
- Difficulty: easy
- Sights: woods, fields, observation deck, Libby River marsh
Libby River Farm abuts Camp Ketcha, where I used to attend summer day camp and riding camp. It’s best not to park at the camp headquarters, but rather at the preserve lot a hundred feet or so down Black Point Road. There is a fantastic observation deck here, with views over the Scarborough Marsh. An artisan has even crafted a comfortable rocking chair out of lobster traps to sit on while looking for birds from the observation deck. There are about 1.3 miles at the 75-acre preserve.
Directions: From Route 1 in Scarborough, Maine, head east on the Black Point Road (Route 207) for 2.5 miles, passing between two sections of salt marsh, and over two bridges. The first bridge crosses over the Nonesuch River. The second bridge crosses the Libby River. As you approach a second river crossing, look for a second section of salt marsh, and a large white farmhouse on the left. There are condos on the right. The second river is the Libby River, and the Libby River Farm land is adjacent to the river in back of the two houses. Park in the little dirt lot on the left.

Adobe has introduced a new way for people to get its products, by allowing them to rent rather than buy the company’s latest software.
Instead of trying to find the four figure sum to buy the company’s new Creative Suite 5.5 collection of apps, Adobe is now allowing potential users of the software to rent on a monthly basis.
It means that project workers can pay as they go for the software.
“Today also sees Adobe debut an affordable and flexible subscription-based pricing plan, attractive to customers that want to get current and stay current on Creative Suite products, have project–based needs, or try the software for the first time,” says the company.
The new Subscription Editions should ensure that users are always working with the most up-to-date versions of the software, without the upfront cost of full pricing.
Adobe Photoshop will cost £28 per month, Adobe Design Premium CS5.5 £72 per month, and Adobe Creative Suite 5.5 Master Collection - the package that includes everything - for £116 per month.
The news comes as the company announces a new version of its Creative Suite package, CS5.5. The new offering, due to go on sale later this month, brings a number of enhancements to InDesign and Dreamweaver, amongst others.
