Buddhist Tzu Chi Foundation, a Taiwanese foundation that has been contributing to better social and community services, medical care, education and humanism in Taiwan and around the world, supports Partnering to Serve Humanity in alleviating the sufferings of victims of the fire disaster in Gloucester, Freetown.
It would be recalled that on March 30 at Loko Town, Gloucester community was engulfed by an inferno leaving 36 households and 288 individuals homeless with all their properties lost.
The cause of the fire is unknown as it occurred at 2 AM.
Today with support from Tzu Chi Foundation, Partnering to Serve Humanity is providing relief for these affected persons. This is coming after a total of 14 days of serving hotmeal to the victims.
The appreciation expressed by the victims for the hotmeal feeding is overwhelming, as many shared emotional testimonies of how useful the feeding has been to them and their children. This support is approved by Dharma Master Cheng Yen the Founder of Tzu Chi Foundation.
“Today the relief items which we are giving as an exit support is a demonstration of great love”, Said Margaret Bassie, Tzu Chi Country Representative in Sierra Leone.
36 Victim’s families received Tzu Chi specially made blankets, multigrain powder a high protein porridge, and 50 kilograms of rice per family. 20 Under five children received baby food, diapers, and baby milk formula while 186 women and girls received dignity kits comprising sanitary pads, laundry, bathing, lappa, slippers, underwear, toothbrush, toothpaste, towels, and 3 sets of used clothing each.


Efforts to fix the global economy are running into trouble ahead of next month's summit of major industrial powers in London.
U.S. and European finance officials disagree over the need for additional stimulus packages to help revive the economy. And a top British official is complaining about difficulties in dealing with the U.S.
British Cabinet Secretary Gus O'Donnell said Tuesday that coordinating with the U.S. Treasury Department was "difficult" because "there is nobody there," a criticism of the Obama administration's failure to fill key posts in the department.
However, Britain and the U.S. may be forging ahead with a plan to boost global trade.
The "Wall Street Journal" reports the two countries will unveil a trade plan at the G-20 summit of leading industrialized and developing countries on April 2nd.
The newspaper says the plan will call for countries to set aside billions of dollars to finance more global trade.
About half of the money would be used by G-20 countries to boost their own exports, while the other half would be used to finance exports from the world's poorer nations.
The global recession has been affecting countries that depend on exports to drive their economies.
China, the world's third largest economy, said Wednesday that its exports fell by 26 percent in February. And Germany, one of the world's largest exporters, said orders for manufactured goods fell eight percent in January compared to the previous month.
Meanwhile, two new polls of economists and financial professionals find most are still pessimistic about the global economy.
A Reuters' poll of 250 economists from around the world finds many think the recession will continue well into 2010 with unemployment rates hitting new, multi-year highs.
The second poll by the Bloomberg news agency (the Bloomberg Professional Global Confidence Index) finds confidence in the U.S. and European economies is waning.

The venue is a huge patch from the remnants of Aravali range touching Delhi-NCR. This year, after a gap of many, I went to experience the crafts and the din at the Suranjkund Mela again, organised every year in the cool month of February.
Decorated camels ready for ride, canopies of kikar trees and roadside vendors selling their own little hand-made toys, greeted me at the entrance.
Alas, I selected a wrong day, as the place was teeming with millions of heads, me being one of them! I could not immerse in the beauty of art and craft that thousands of stalls were offering from interiors of India as well as from so many other countries.
I did go to Afghanistan stall, where two young brothers sold exquisite carpets; Iran stall selling silver baubles and exotic stuff; men from African nations; women from South-east Asian countries — all selling great and painstakingly made gorgeous stuff.
Although food is never that great in this giant of a fair, the weather and more so, colours spread all around you peeping out from numerous stalls in various forms and shapes, make-up for a great day for a crafts-lover.
As for me, next trip is already marked in my calendar!

For many, life is a hodgepodge of never-ending commitments. Yet few of us can be truly healthy or happy without regular periods of downtime. While there is nothing inherently wrong with busyness, those of us who over-commit or over-extend ourselves potentially face exhaustion and burnout. When you feel overwhelmed by your commitments, examining your motivation for taking on so many obligations can help you understand why you feel compelled to do so much. You may discover that you are being driven by fear that no one else will do the job or guilt that you aren't doing enough. To regain your equilibrium and clear the clutter from your calendar, simplify your life by establishing limits regarding what you will and will not do based on your personal priorities.
Determining where your priorities lie can be as easy as making two lists: one that outlines all those obligations that are vital to your wellbeing, such as work, meditation, and exercise, and another that describes everything you do that is not directly related to your wellbeing. Although there will likely be items in the latter list that excite your passion or bring you joy, you may discover that you devote a large portion of your time to unnecessary activities. To simplify your schedule, consider which of these unnecessary activities add little value to your life and edit them from your agenda. Remember that you may need to ask for help, say no firmly, or delegate responsibility in order to distance yourself from such encumbrances. However, as you divest yourself of non-vital obligations that cause you stress, serve no purpose, or rob you of opportunities to refresh yourself, you will feel more energetic and enthusiastic about life in general.
If simplifying your schedule seems prohibitively difficult and you still feel pressed to take on more, try imagining how each new commitment will impact your life before saying yes. When you consider the hassle associated with superfluous obligations, you may be surprised to see that your schedule is impeding your attempts to grow as an individual. Your willingness to pare down your agenda, no matter how gradual your progress, will empower you to retake active control of the life that defines you.

South Sioux Nebraska Things To Do
If you want to eat in South Sioux City, you don't have to place an order; Deliciousness is ready to go to you and you can get home in no time to enjoy a delicious meal in one of the restaurants. From the moment you place your order for pizza, carryout or delivery to South Dakota City, you are at home and enjoy the best of both worlds: delicious food and excellent service.
Follow Dakota Avenue to 9th Street, cross the southern end of South Sioux City and turn south on the south side of the Missouri Bridge. From there, enter South Dakota City at the Siouxland Veterans Memorial Bridge and cross the Missouri River from that bridge, then turn north on Dakota Street to 7th Avenue.
The nearest commercial airport is Sioux City International Airport, located north of South Dakota City on the Missouri River. It is located about half a mile south of downtown and about two miles north of the Siouxland Veterans Memorial Bridge and a few miles east of downtown.
The city has 13,353 residents, making it Nebraska's 14th largest city, according to the U.S. Census Bureau. It is located on the Missouri River in South Dakota City, south of Sioux City and about two miles north of the Siouxland Veterans Memorial Bridge and a few miles east of downtown. The nearest commercial airport is Sioux County Regional Airport, which is located approximately half a mile south of downtown, about three miles west of North Dakota State University and about one mile north and one and a half miles southeast of South Fargo.
The racial composition of the city is the same as in other cities in South Dakota and Nebraska, according to the US Census.
The racial composition of the city is roughly the same as in other cities in South Dakota and Nebraska, according to the US Census. The population is distributed according to age: 10.4% of the population are over 65 years old and 9.5% are under 18 years old.
If you want to get a more accurate picture of whether you are in a city or a city, you must specify the minimum and maximum population of the place to get a more accurate picture of the population and demographics of the city. For South Sioux City, I filtered the table values according to the location where I needed the city and where we had data, as I would do in the SE / NE spreadsheet program. That led to South Dakota City, with a population of about 1.5 million and an average age of 65.
The run-and-gun style would be the Cardinals' trademark, though it took a few years for South Sioux to earn his first trip to the state. The Cardinals moved to Class B and came home in 1999, beating Omaha Roncalli 65-62 in the final. In the 1999 championship game, something unexpected happened to South Dakota: They capped their unbeaten season with a drive to their first - ever - national championship.
The Cardinals fell to 10-0 and lost 56-46 to the eventual A's - to Omaha Marian. South Sioux returned to Lincoln in 1994 and reached the Class A semifinals before losing to eventual champion Lincoln Southeast. The only defeat against Ogallala in the 1999 final prevented them from ticking off eleven championships in a row. That continued success led to a national ranking by USA Today and put her in the spotlight.
Flynn graduated from South Dakota and took a job as assistant coach for the University of Nebraska men's basketball team in Omaha. He was assistant coach to the boys for four years and assistant coach to the boys every four years. Katie Robinette - Kock, the four-time national runner - was in the 3,000-meter race, was a member of the runner group - out.
When the crew returned home to be driven away from the town's main square in a fire truck, they were hailed as heroes. Flynn admits he is flooded with memories when asked to recall the glory days of the South Sioux that brought the school to national attention.
Hornbeck, who enjoyed the ride, said he still likes the response he gets from those who tell him that someone like him enjoyed it. If you're looking for activities in Nebraska and in South Sioux City, visit Dublin House and experience your own cigar adventure.

Up to 6,000 households in Norfolk are being advised to continue boiling drinking water after concerns that a parasite may have entered supplies.
The boil water notice is set to continue into next week
Tests on water supplies on Saturday confirmed cryptosporidium, which can cause diarrhoea, may have entered the drinking water supply.
The affected areas are North Walsham and North Walsham Road, Felmingham.
Anglian Water said it was now likely that the restriction notice would be in place until early next week.
Drinking water and water used for food preparation should be boiled first.
The normal supply can still be used for washing, bathing and flushing the toilet.
Bottled water is being supplied to vulnerable people.
The cryptosporidium parasite can cause diarrhoea, stomach cramps, upset stomach and a slight fever.
However, illness tends to strike older people and children.
The parasite can easily be filtered out of water supplies by Anglian Water's own equipment due to its size.

April 20th, 4-20, can be better know as Cannabis Day on college campuses across the U.S. To some students, 4-20 marks a “holiday” where individuals eat, inhale or intake marijuana. One explanation of the origin of the term stems from a story of high schools that would meet after school to smoke marijuana. The exact time that was chosen, 4:20, was the time that after school detention was dismissed. Click here to see the full video of the history of 4-20.
Photo of 4/20 celebration by compscigrad
NBC asks: It’s 4/20 — Do You Know Where Your Kids Are? At UC Santa Cruz, vice-chancellor of student affairs sent out an e-mail to all parents warning them of this date. The the e-mail stated “I encourage you to talk with your student about his or her plans for 4/20. Ask direct questions about the choices they make and express your expectations regarding marijuana, alcohol or other drug use. Although students may not initiate discussion on this topic, your opinions and expectations can influence their behavior.”
So, should college campuses stamp out 4-20 festivals? In my opinion, yes! It’s illegal! But are campuses actually doing anything about it? Not that I’ve heard of. After researching the topic and combining my experiences and talking with friends from other schools, colleges aren’t doing much to stop the all day pot party. At the University of Rhode Island, we have a 3-strike rule that applies to the consumption or possession of alcohol. After 3 offenses, a student is out. With marijuana and other illegal drugs, police are called on the first offense.
Each college or university has their own policy about smoking marijuana on campus. Although extra measurements won’t be too prevalent on most campuses on April 20, the usual rules apply. The nation’s biggest 4/20 event took place Monday at the University of Colorado, but no possession tickets were given. As quoted in this Colorado Daily article, CU spokesman Bronson Hilliard said the smoke-out is hard to squelch because of the sheer volume (nearly 10,000 students participated in CU’s 4/20 yesterday) of students and the fact that they are mostly just acting as peaceful protestors.
So will 4-20 celebrations continue? Probably. Will students see tougher consequences in the future? Well, it really depends on the campus.
Did you participate in a 4-20 celebration on Monday? Do you think campuses should do more to stop them? Do you think students should participate? Let us know what you think!

I have always loved writing, of course it's not writing technical documents such as the ones we're required to do for our FYPs. I prefer writing on something that has much freedom. Lately, I've been thinking on improving my blog and adding in more topics. Firstly, I think I shall ask myself what would I like to read from blogs before I ask around. There are many things that can be written down. What I observed from other blogs, they cover traveling, technology, food, daily life, objects such as cars, bikes, toys and many others.
Therefore there are many things to write, but what I am good at? What do I have interest in? I think sharing on my knowledge and my opinion on the things I like are worth reading :p. Unless you disagree with me and have better topics for me. Given a title, I may be able to write it but depending on the information I have and inspiration for that title. Putting some thought to it, I think I shall start by writing my opinions/reviews on things that I have interest in or objects that I use. It may not be good but in time I hope to improve my diversity on different kind of topics. My advise to people who want to improve like myself is to read more on different things that interest you, pick out writers that inspire you and see the style they have in writing and discover your own as you discover other's.

A recent study demonstrated that budesonide-formoterol is superior to albuterol for as-needed exacerbation prevention in mild asthma.
Stepping outside for air, running on the treadmill to exercise, experiencing strong emotions—the triggers for asthma are unavoidable and integrated into daily life. Thus, for the 25 million Americans whose lungs are hyperreactive to myriad triggers, pharmacotherapy is essential to reverse chest tightening, labored breathing, and constant coughing.1
The New England Journal of Medicine published a recent study demonstrating that budesonide-formoterol is superior to albuterol for as-needed exacerbation prevention in mild asthma. Budesonide is an inhaled corticosteroid (ICS) and formoterol is a long acting beta agonist (LABA), whereas albuterol is a short acting beta agonist (SABA).
The researchers compared the 2 therapies in a randomized, open-label, parallel-group trial over 52 weeks. The 668 patients included in the analysis were adults diagnosed with mild asthma. The inclusion criteria required the sole use of a SABA in the 3 months leading up to the study, at a specified frequency in the last 4 weeks.2
The yearly exacerbation rate and the frequency of severe exacerbations were both lower in the patients using the budesonide-formoterol therapy. These findings parallel the new Global Initiative for Asthma (GINA) guidelines released in 2019. The GINA guidelines state, “In adults and adolescents with mild asthma, treatment with as-needed low dose ICS-formoterol reduces the risk of severe exacerbations by about two-thirds compared with SABA-only treatment...”3
Inhaled corticosteroids are an integral part of moderate to severe asthma management and these findings suggest that they offer benefits even in mild cases.
Furthermore, researchers compared the as-needed use of budesonide-formoterol to a scheduled, twice-daily budesonide regimen combined with as-needed albuterol therapy. Efficacy was similar. Therefore, it is not necessary to administer inhaled corticosteroids on a scheduled basis to achieve maximal relief from mild asthma symptoms. Rescue use is sufficient.
Historically, as-needed albuterol was the go-to therapy for mild asthma exacerbation management. However, as this study and the new GINA guidelines suggest, experts are moving toward the initiation of an ICS-LABA combination for rescue instead. Thus, it is important to keep this emerging regimen in mind, as other guidelines and practices begin to adapt it.

Democrats asserted a distinct majority in Pennsylvania’s house of representatives in 2022, concluding a ten-year-plus streak of GOP control in the lower chamber. And they’ve effectively safeguarded their razor-thin upper hand in three special elections just in the last year.
When a special election will decipher which party fills the spot vacated in December by Democrat John Galloway, who relinquished the state legislature to occupy a judicial position, that majority hangs in the balance on Tuesday. Until last week, the chamber was tied 101-101 due to Galloway’s retirement. As of Friday, when Republican Joe Adams abruptly stepped down, the breakdown became 101-100.
The result of Tuesday’s race for Galloway’s former seat in statehouse district 140—representing lower Bucks County—will either create another tie or give Democrats a two-seat majority ahead of November, when all 203 house seats will be on the ballot. Half of the 50 seats in the state senate, currently dominated by Republicans 28-22, are also up for reelection in November.
Vying to fill the house opening created by Galloway’s resignation are Democrat Jim Prokopiak, a lawyer and Pennsbury school board member, and Republican Candace Cabanas, a political newcomer whose background is in home health care and hospitality. (In the forthcoming weeks, another special election will be conducted to fill the vacancy left by Friday’s resignation of the Republican in the state house of representatives.)
Galloway’s previous district is a moderately Democratic enclave within a historically purple county that has attracted national political attention lately. Bucks County is almost evenly divided politically. According to state records, there were 197,941 registered Democrats and 193,908 registered Republicans as of 2023. In November, Democrats acquired the majority of the Central Bucks County School Board after the conservative-dominated board had enacted book prohibitions and policies that led to regulations requiring parental consent to address students by their self-identified names and pronouns, as well as the elimination of LGBTQ pride flags from classrooms.
The degree to which voters from the suburban area turn out—and how those that do turn out decide to vote—on Tuesday, just nine months away from the the state’s much more inclusive General Assembly elections, could be a bellwether for both statewide and national trends in November.
“Many people would say that we are the swingiest county in the swingiest state,” Prokopiak tells Politics. “The issues being discussed nationwide are happening here in Bucks County.”
Democratic advocates are somewhat concerned about the race’s outcome. The Democratic Legislative Campaign Committee (DLCC), the party’s arm for electing Democrats to state legislatures, is allocating $50,000 to protect the Democrat majority in the state house of representatives—including this seat—between now and November. While a Democrat has represented the statehouse district for decades, US House Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick, a Republican, has also carried the area in recent elections.
The DLCC’s $50,000 outlay in Pennsylvania is part of a planned $60 million investment in statehouse races across the country; it is a remarkable increase over the group’s $15 million spending in 2016, signaling the Democratic Party’s growing interest in local races as state chambers legislate everything from abortion to LGBTQ rights to paid parental leave.
“State legislative races are going to play an important part in making sure that we’ve got really strong turnout and that our messages and our actions are resonating with voters,” says DLCC president Heather Williams.
If Prokopiak prevails, he would have to run again in November, but a February victory would give him and his party a head start to retain the majority—and maybe make advances beyond it.
“Protecting the right to collectively organize, the right for a livable wage, the fight for women’s reproductive rights and making sure that they stay legal,” he says. “The right for contraception. All those types of things are only protected by a majority in the state house.”

A vast majority of syringe pumps operate on stepper motors, which limits their effectiveness for precision fluid delivery using estimation algorithms. Such a system also hampers the ability to ascertain if the infusion or aspiration instruction has been correctly carried out in the event of power interruptions. To address this issue, a linear servo based actuator system is described to provide absolute indications of the plunger position. System performance in terms of linearity and reliability of plunger translation were verified using a camera tracking system with syringe capacities ranging from 3 to 50 ml and at syringe plunger speeds ranging from 1 to 6.6 mm/s when distilled water was used as the medium. In investigations involving more viscous liquids, the system revealed similarly linear characteristics with 50% glycerol-water (v/v), but cyclical stick-slip behavior with Freund's adjuvant.

A woman wanted by police in Arizona was located in Ansonia on Thursday.

Police said Thompson was released from prison in 2015 on parole, and she fled the state of Arizona.
She was located on West Main Street in Ansonia and was taken into custody.
Thompson was charged with being a fugitive from justice, and was held on a $250,000 bond.

Wedding decor is unimaginable without flowers, whether it is in Indian weddings or anywhere else globally. Among the latest wedding trends, numerous ways flower decoration help to amp up your wedding décor.
Flower decorators create themes, impact, elevate and transform ambience during events by using flower power. Simple to ornate flower arrangements elevate wedding decor. Floral displays like hanging flowers as chandeliers, covering entire walls, or creating floating flower displays create cheer in mundane places.
Flower decor choices and styles have come a long way from centrepieces and traditional bouquets to carry, boutonnières to fasten, and petals are thrown by the flower girls. Today, flower decor is essential and part of wedding decor. Each wedding decor professional uses creativity and innovation to create new designs that go way beyond garlands, mandaps, wreaths, table arrangements, clutches, lapel accessories, and tosses.
For every ceremony and reception, florists decorate with exquisite blossom-inspired looks, including the menu items, the dance floor, the banquet hall, the seating and non-centrepiece
décor. Women can go floral with fashion—bridal gowns and statement accessories that draw inspiration from flowers everywhere. New ways to elevate decor could include floral stationery, flowerbedecked walls, flower arches, and flower crowns—you name it.
Event Majors florists suggest some beautiful decor ideas for using flowers creatively in your wedding.
Wall backdrops decorated with fresh flowers have gained popularity at weddings. Almost all flowers look good on walls, from traditional mogras and marigolds to exotic orchids. Wall decor is widely trending in weddings for absolutely stunning entrance décor and stage backdrops for couples.
Our suggestion is all-white simplicity with Orchids or stunning Red Roses for a wow effect.
Create cascading vibrancy with colorful flowers or a single color for the dangling strings of flowers from a tree branch. Break the monotony with flowers tied to small glass jars, and you have the perfect floral display for a rustic wedding. For traditional Indian vibes, select marigolds and mogras or jasmine. Couples are opting for sunflowers, daisies and hyacinths, while roses remain all time favourites.
Another eye-catching makeover can be created by wrapping wreaths of flowers around chandeliers and placing them against the solid-colored backdrop. Mesmerizing cascades of flowers from ceilings at the entrance, a mandap or stage, and the walkways look gorgeous both daytime and evenings. Flower strings covering the roof and the walls bring a European feel and create a beautiful ambience.
Carpets and walking down the aisle to the altar are Christian weddings tradition, but flowers can take it up a notch, making the walkway stunning and trendy. Decor artists have stupendous ways that include flowers in your wedding decoration.
Mandaps with a traditional canopy style or four pillars marking the area can get a makeover with beautiful fresh flowers, floral branches or a combination of flowers with leaves. Mandaps are a focal point and become the cynosure of all eyes.
Entrances to wedding halls look mesmerizing with vivid blooms. With drapes and origami décor becoming passe, it is time to embrace flowers.
You can be extravagant with exotic flowers or get a minimal look with simple arrangements transforming the ordinary into the extraordinary.
The big fat Indian weddings translate to extravagance, glamour and grandeur. Hence, the flower decor is always stunning and elaborate.
Decoration ideas can include ornamental figurines, like peacocks, elephants, sconces, and lotus, evergreen elements in Indian weddings. Bright flowerbedecked wedding motifs are sure to leave you spellbound with their beauty.
Weddings and marigolds are a match made in heaven. Create sunshine hues by overlying your entire house with marigold festoons, a part of Indian weddings and festivals for ages. Orange and bright yellow flowers can be stringed into thick garlands or scattered in petals.
Beautiful marigold wreaths or floating arrangements add the right element of cheer around the house.
The stage becomes all-important during wedding receptions or other related ceremonies. Attractive styles with foliage hoops, garlands, and chandeliers are popular in stage backdrops. Event Majors decor artists suggest using layers of one color for that oomph. Floral arches and chandeliers are attractive options for stunning stage makeovers. Marigolds are better for a simple backdrop because they are bright and easy on your pocket. Millennial couples opt for full-coverage flower walls that include a variety of lighting setups, an assortment of flowers and neon signs.
All whites, stunning reds or soft pastels make a monochrome floral wall decoration, including white flowers, peonies, roses, and gardenias for a theatrical backdrop bringing it all to life and making pictures impressive.
A Haldi ceremony will call for bright yellow flowers for that sunshine hue interspersed with white mogras, yellow marigolds, and sunflowers are a millennial style of floral wall decor you will find at weddings.
There are myriad ways to add beauty to wedding decor with flowers.
The Event Majors team suggests an all-white backdrop for stage walls to enhance the bright lehengas and bejewelled sherwani for stunning photoshoots. Photo booths and corner panels with flower decor turn out a hit because of their attractive appeal.

They stopped improving the game several years ago and never made a Mac,iOS or Android version and are now longer in business.
I found it very puzzling that a game that is played by some half a billion people does not generate a need for a really fun game. Fantastic and fun version of the MahJong game which I love to play very often.
I have played this game for years on a computer, on a cellphone and now on my Kindle Fire. There are a couple of software glitches: I called for a Kong and received my winning tile, but the extra points were not awarded; When giving a choice for a thrown tile of a Pong or a Kong, it should also give you the choice for a Chow at the same time; can't tell which seat is East during play - info especially needed when playing with Flowers and Seasons.
Because it runs so fast that One person found this helpful. I've lost track of all the problems this thing has and it has a tendency to freeze up causing you to need to uninstall and reinstall.
This is not a matching type game. It is more akin to traditional Chinese or the American style of play. Think "Gin Rummy".
It takes a bit of practice and the play moves along fairly quickly, even on the slowest setting. It also does not speak English, but that's no biggie.
However if you are familiar with this style of playing and are searching for a free option, you could do a lot worse.
You only need yourself as you are playing against the computer, so if your other three players can't make it over you can still keep in practice.
At last! Do NOT give this one a low rating simply because it is actually Mahjong and not what you are looking for. Also, this is NOT the "American" version, with different rules each year, etc.
Now- for the rest of us. I am thrilled that I have finally found a real Mahjong game that plays and works well, and is a lot of fun. Note: The tiles can have just the Chinese numbers on the Characters, or you can choose to also have English numbers.
That is an option if you click the picture of the wrench in the top right corner of the screen with "Instructions" and "start" buttons.

Interestingly, this question isn't asked as often as you'd think here on the Hong Kong forum. However, it has come up from time to time in the past.
If you type 'mahjong' into the Search Box at the top of the forum, you will find a few past discussions that include locations for where to buy sets here in the city.
You can get those at some of the Asian shops in Sacramento. No need to go all the way to HK and lug them back to the US. They are not light weight.
There is a shop that sells mahjong sets at the corner of Prince Edward Road West and Lai Chi Kok Road, just across from the Metropark Mongkok hotel you could see it on google streetview.
Very local and I doubt they would have sets with Arabic numerals. We were in HK and just got back yesterday.

Crisis in the Caucasus is based on the 2008 conflict between The Republic of Georgia and The Russian Federation. In this game you will control one of these nations and either fight for the continued sovereignty of Georgia or attempt to reclaim lost territory and remake the Soviet Block. Crisis in the Caucasus is a 1-2 player Hex and Counter wargame that plays anywhere from 90mins-120mins. There are two scenarios featured in the game one that is the historical conflict between these two nations in 2008 and a hypothetical campaign that occurs in the near future, a conflict that could have potential major repercussions for the world and plunge us into World War 3.
The gameplay is fast and uses a pretty innovative damage allocation system. The game plays smooth with the turn allowing both players phases to be able to move units and react to the other players offensives or crush an enemy strongpoint in a combine assault. In the historical scenario the Georgians will be trying to make an assault on the break away province of South Ossetia's vital city before the intervention of the Russian military pours into south Ossetia and puts the Georgians on the defensive. In the hypothetical scenario the game starts off the same but at the beginning of each new turn the initiative player rolls on the event table to see if there is Nato intervention or CSTO intervention, if Azerbaijan joins the fight for the Georgians and how many militia units get spawn in South Ossetia. This allows the player to see what would have happened had nato gotten involved and tried to stop the take over of a prospective nato member.

No time/desire to update the standings after that game. Bah. We are now only half a game ahead of Portland.
This is our last SEGABABA. If we can't beat a Pelicans team without their two best players, I'll be a bit worried. It would also be nice to hold a team under 100 points. The Pelicans are also on a SEGABABA so we should have no excuses about tiredness. We certainly need to be able to get up for games like this heading into the playoffs.

Jeff Jackson Releases Clean Water Plan to Address PFAS, GenX in Cape Fear River
Four point plan calls for a federal standard for contaminants, making polluters pay
Charlotte – Today, candidate for U.S. Senate Jeff Jackson rolled out a Clean Water Plan to address PFAS contaminants – such as GenX – in the Cape Fear River. PFAS, short for per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances, are long-lasting industrial contaminants found in everyday products such as Teflon, cosmetics, firefighting foam, and textiles. These chemicals have been linked to severe adverse health effects.
North Carolina has the third-highest rates of PFAS exposure in the country. The drinking water for at least 200,000 people along the Cape Fear River is polluted with PFAS that the Chemours plant discharged into the river for years. In 2020, Brunswick County had the most PFAS contamination of 44 sites tested across 31 states. New Hanover County was in the top five.
Jackson has already held more than 50 town halls across the state to hear directly from North Carolinians about the issues impacting their lives and communities. In New Hanover County, the first question was about water quality in the Cape Fear River. And in Chatham County – which is 150 miles away from New Hanover, but also on the Cape Fear – it was the first question again.
In his plan, Jackson lays out four priorities to address PFAS contamination and remediation:
- Develop a federal standard for maximum contaminant levels for PFAS in our drinking water.
- Determine where we need to invest in upgrading filtration systems for entire water systems.
- Ensure that financial responsibility rests with the polluters.
- Put a stop to any ongoing discharge of PFAS.
“Everyone deserves clean drinking water,” said Sen. Jeff Jackson. “What we’re hearing at town halls near the Cape Fear River is that this is a major concern. Our plan lays out a clear, actionable path to get this done.”

HIV-infection is a
factor that has a negative impact on the epidemiology of
tuberculosis. According to the World Health Organization (WHO) and
other sources since 2006 and at present, the number of cases of
tuberculosis with concurrent HIV-infection has increased by 2.9 times [1,
2]. This is due to the fact that the possibility of
tuberculosis contraction in HIV-positive individuals is 100
times higher than in HIV-negative people [3, 4]. Increasing number of
comorbid TB diseases/HIV is associated with high mortality [5-11]. The
disease affects mainly people of young and working-age [5, 10, 11].
The search for optimal methods of treatment is an actual problem [12,
13]. Surgical treatment is one of the methods in complex treatment that
allows increasing the effectiveness of treatment [14-17]. The
surgical methods of treatment effectiveness for patients
with tuberculosis combined with HIV-infection is still to be studied
Material and methods
in 2016-2017, 572
radical lung resections were performed for pulmonary tuberculosis, while the
proportion of operations in patients with HIV-infection was 4.4% (25
cases). There was held an analysis of surgeries in patients with pulmonary
tuberculosis combined with HIV-infection. To assess the effectiveness of the inclusion
of surgical methods in treatment, two comparison groups of patients
were formed: 1 - group of 23 patients who were operated, 2 - group of
25 patients without surgical treatment. Efficacy was evaluated by the
criterion of deregistration after recovery.
the gender and age
characteristics of patients, social aspects and the method of detecting
pulmonary tuberculosis in the comparison groups were studied. In the 1st group,
there were 11 men (47.8%), 12 women (52.2%). In the 2nd group,
there were 12 (52.2%) men and 11 (42%) women, respectively (χ2=0.08;

CI 30.34; 35.98] (U=280.5; p=0.893). In terms of social
characteristics and the methods of detecting pulmonary tuberculosis, the
comparison groups did not have significant differences. In both
groups, most patients were unemployed, 15 (65.2%) patients in 1st group,
and 15 (60.0%) patients in 2nd group. A history of drug
abuse was observed in 8 (34.8%) patients in the 1st group

“Broken heart syndrome may be misdiagnosed as a heart attack because the symptoms and test results are similar. In fact, tests show dramatic changes in rhythm and blood substances that are typical of a heart attack. But unlike a heart attack, there’s no evidence of blocked heart arteries in broken heart syndrome.
In broken heart syndrome, a part of your heart temporarily enlarges and doesn’t pump well, while the rest of your heart functions normally or with even more forceful contractions. Researchers are just starting to learn the causes, and how to diagnose and treat it.”
The idea that you can die of a broken heart gained the limelight when Debbie Reynolds died the day after her daughter, Carrie Fisher. After Reg’s grandfather died, his grandmother died just six weeks later. Former pro-football player Doug Flutie’s mom had a sudden heart attack and died just an hour after his dad died.
I have no doubt this is possible given how Reg’s death affected me. I have a strong heart due to my vegan diet and my daily exercise regimen. But I distinctly remember running in a 4-mile race after Reg passed away and feeling as if I would have a heart attack. My heart was racing and felt as if it would explode. I obviously don’t know what a real heart attack feels like, but I had run numerous races in the past. This had never happened in my past. I guess the stress and the fact that my heart was so broken affected my heart physically. As I’ve explained in an earlier chapter of this book, my friend Laurence died suddenly from heart problems. He was physically active and seemed healthy, so I often wonder if he died of a broken heart.

A stepped pattern of benthic foraminiferal decimation, survival, and recovery identified across the Cretaceous-Tertiary (K-T) boundary at Caravaca (southeast Spain) suggests that an exceptionally large influx of nutrients reached the sea floor suddenly, at the time of the K-T extinction event. Rapid reestablishment of pre-K-T boundary environmental conditions followed. Our data demonstrate a close coupling between the collapse of the ecologic system in the upper water column at Caravaca and a correspondent decimation of bottom dwellers on the sea floor. The dramatic environmental collapse of deep-water benthic foraminiferal communities at the end of the Cretaceous at Caravaca suggests that the K-T boundary event was geologically instantaneous and catastrophic.

Historical THAAD Battery in Guam Transfers Authority to its Sister Unit
April 2, 2014
By Sgt. 1st Class Karry James, 94th Army Air and Missile Defense Command PAO
ANDERSEN AIR FORCE BASE, Guam -- Task Force Talon marks another historical milestone as its Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) battery completes its mission and transfers authority to one of its sister THAAD units already on the ground in Guam, Apr. 1.
The outgoing battery, Alpha, 4th Air Defense Artillery Regiment, has been providing tactical ballistic missile defense of the island of Guam against any potential threats for the last year. They will be heading back home to family and friends at Fort Bliss, TX after the transfer.
"A-4 has set the conditions for not only the continued success of this mission, but also for future successful deployments of THAAD to other areas of the world," said Lt. Col. Clyde Cochrane, commander, Task Force Talon. "The lessons learned here will enable future Air Defenders to deploy, emplace and accomplish their mission faster and better."
The "Transfer of Authority" ceremony is a military tradition that the two units conduct as a symbol that signifies the end of A-4's mission by the casing of its guidon and the start of A-2's assumption of responsibility for the defense of Guam by the unfurling of its guidon.
Distinguished guests in attendance at the ceremony included the U.S. territory of Guam Governor, Gov. Eddie Calvo, Guam National Guard Adjutant General, Maj. Gen. Benny Paulino, and 36th Wing Commander, Air Force Brig. Gen. Steven Garland.
Before the transfer of authority ceremony took place, however, the two units went through a process known as "Relief in Place". Since their arrival over two weeks ago, A-2 Soldiers have been closely shadowing their counterparts from A-4 to absorb lessons learned and ensure continuity.
Continuity plays a very important role in this mission as the military rebalances toward the Pacific, especially regarding the established relationships within the community and joint forces as well as with coalition forces.
"I am very pleased that I was selected to remain on-station for a total of two years," said Cochrane. "This allows me to see the task force as a whole from the beginning to a stage where permanence begins to set in."
Task Force Talon is the combining of THAAD, military police, and communications in a joint working environment with the 36th Wing at Andersen Air Force Base and the Joint Region Marianas Headquarters on Guam. The 94th Army Air and Missile Defense Command provides mission command of Task Force Talon.
"We arrived here with nothing in place, and with the hard work of all involved, we have built the task force up into a robust Integrated Air Missile Defense capability," Cochrane said. "I am very appreciative of all the support that we have received from the Air Force and Navy, without which the mission would have been exponentially harder to accomplish."
From the Army cooks working in the base dining facility to Task Force Talon's acceptance by the Air Force and Navy as an unofficial tenant unit at Andersen, Cochrane says that all are willing to continue to strive to be good team players and good neighbors.

Jury Trial Over Drug Makers’ Role in Opioid Addiction Crisis Underway in California
A trial is underway in California which presents claims against Johnson & Johnson, Teva, Endo, Allergan and other drug manufacturers who allegedly fueled the opioid addiction crisis, which is being closely watched as a “bellwether” for how other juries will respond to similar claims being presented nationwide.
Following delays caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, a jury in Orange County Superior Court began hearing evidence virtually on Monday in a $50 billion lawsuit brought by a number of California communities, which seeks damages for costs associated with the opioid crisis that has caused nearly 500,000 overdose deaths nationwide.
Plaintiffs allege the drug makers engaged in years of deceptive marketing which downplayed the addiction risks associated with opioids, and selling the powerful pain medications in a reckless manner.

Communities nationwide are continuing to deal with the opioid crisis, which claims more and more lives each year due to accidental or intentional overdoses involving the powerful and addictive pain medications.
In 2013, opioid overdoses accounted for 3,100 deaths, but that number surpassed 36,00 deaths by 2019. Federal health officials now warn that opioids account for nearly 70% of all drug overdoses and Americans are more likely to die from an opioid overdose than from a car crash.
In recent years much attention has focused on doctor prescribing habits and how they contribute to the development of the opioid crisis. Data indicates roughly one-third to half of all patients don’t need opioids to treat their pain and are prescribed the narcotic painkillers inappropriately. Many doctors prescribe more opioids than they realize, often because they are rewarded by drug companies to prescribe more painkillers.
The opioid trial underway in California is the second case to go before a jury out of thousands of lawsuits brought nationwide against drug manufacturers, particularly by cities, states and other municipalities who say illegal marketing practices and a failure to warn the medical community and patients of the risks of these drugs led to massive loss of life and severely burdened the health care system.
In 2019, Oklahoma was awarded $572 million in an opioid lawsuit against Johnson & Johnson in the first case to go to trial. That verdict was later reduced to $465 million, and is still pending on appeal. However, further trials expected to begin last year were delayed amid disruptions throughout the judicial system during the coronavirus pandemic.
The virtual trial includes claims on behalf of several California counties, including Santa Clara, Los Angeles and Orange counties, as well as the city of Oakland. Together the communities want the companies to pay $50 billion for creating a deadly public nuisance.
Defendants say they distributed drugs approved by the FDA and their contributions to the overall opioid market were small.
While the outcome will not have a binding impact on other claims, the trial is being closely watched to gauge how juries may respond to certain evidence and testimony that will be repeated throughout the claims. In addition, the jury’s decision will likely have a major impact on settlement negotiations in the litigation.
AmerisourceBergen Corp., Cardinal Health Inc., Johnson & Johnson, and McKesson Corporation, the largest drug distributors in the U.S., have already proposed a $26 billion settlement to resolve more than 3,300 opioid crisis lawsuits filed by communities and states nationwide.

The Robie House in Chicago is one of the world's most famous houses, a masterpiece from the end of Frank Lloyd Wright's early period and a classic example of the Prairie House. This book is intended as a companion for the visitor to the house, but it also probes beneath the surface to see how the design took shape in the mind of the architect. Wright's own writings, rare working drawings from the period, and previously unpublished photographs of the house in construction help the reader look over the shoulder of the architect at work. Beautiful new photographs of the Robie House and related Wright houses have been specially taken to illustrate the author's points, and a bibliography on Wright is provided.
Wright first came to fame with his airy Prairie houses, but before designing any of them he built or remodeled many other houses, most of them in the Chicago area in which he lived. This book presents a dozen of his earliest works from 1891 to 1897 and shows how he developed his distinctive architecture.The Wright-at-a-Glance series showcases the work of one of the world's best-known architects. Comprising twelve books in all, this series offers an overview of Wright's life, buildings, and designs.
One of the architectural problems that challenged Frank Lloyd Wright throughout his career was how to provide moderate-cost houses that were every bit as good as more expensive ones. His solution was the Usonian house. This book presents a dozen of these innovative structures that became models for so many American houses.
As Wright's houses changed over the course of his career, one dominant feature remained constant: a fireplace. In all he designed more than one thousand, each meant to anchor the home architecturally and spiritually. This book captures the appeal hearths held for Wright, showing the many variations he achieved.The Wright-at-a-Glance series showcases the work of one of the world's best-known architects. Comprising twelve books in all, this series offers an overview of Wright's life, buildings, and designs.
Hugging the ground, with low, sheltering roofs and spacious interiors, Wright's Prairie houses have long been favorites among his hundreds of buildings. This book details the origins of the style, showing typical features and furnishings, and walks readers through ten of the most fascinating examples.
Focusing on one of the most productive and innovative periods in the architect's career, a study of Wright's mid-twentieth-century architectural designs looks at such seminal masterworks as the Guggenheim Museum, Price Tower, Fallingwater, the Loveness House, and an array of furniture and object designs. 12,500 first printing.
The Thomas P. Hardy house in Racine, Wisconsin, is one of the best-known and most admired residential buildings of legendary American architect Frank Lloyd Wright (1867-1959). A prime example of Wright's "organic architecture," the house perches on a bluff overlooking Lake Michigan, perfectly integrated with the sloped and architecturally challenging site. Built in 1906, the avant-garde house looks nothing like the other homes of its neighborhood and has always been an object of fascination and curiosity. Author and photographer Mark Hertzberg's extensive research has uncovered previously, unpublished plans and drawings for Wright's original (and unbuilt) conception of the house, along with vast amounts of correspondence between Hardy and Wright. He has documented the house in all seasons and from many different perspectives, inside and out. His virtual tour includes interviews with various people who have lived in the house or had firsthand knowledge of its history--from Hardy's grandchildren to the present owners. The result is an intricate story of an architectural marvel interlaced with remembrances by its residents.

This is the first thorough guide to the design and history of “Kentuck,” a splendid mountain house in southwestern Pennsylvania designed in 1953–1954 by Frank Lloyd Wright. Inspired by Fallingwater, the famous house only seven miles away that Wright designed above the waterfalls of Bear Run, local businessman I. N. Hagan and his wife, Bernardine, commissioned the 86-year-old Wright to design this home. Kentuck, constructed on an isolated knoll, or knob, is now owned by Lord Palumbo of London and is open for public tours. This vivid account tells the story of how the house came to be, detailing the many complexities faced by the Hagans—from the delights and difficulties in dealing with Wright to the problems with topography and architectual plans. In fulfilling Wright's vision, the Hagans and their contractor managed to construct a building of great beauty, dignity, and serenity. More than fifty photographs, drawings, and diagrams accompany a detailed descriptive text to illustrate how the peculiarities of the plan, based on the equilateral triangle, resulted in a house that generates countless vistas, indoors and out, and spatial effects of great charm and intimacy. Frank Lloyd Wright's House on Kentuck Knob brings to life an unusual work of residential architecture. It is the perfect introduction to Kentuck, and for those who have visited there, a lovely reminder of this luminous but modest house.
Handsome pictorial essay documents creation of residential masterpiece with more than 160 interior and exterior photos, plans, elevations, sketches, and studies. Informative text recounts the house's history, including its site, plans, and construction.
