The Dental Defence Society explain how COVID-19 has impacted the detection of oral cancer and what dental teams should do to improve outcomes.
Referrals for oral cancer have fallen dramatically since the start of the pandemic. This is raising fears that many cases have gone undiagnosed because of disruption to routine dental care.
Missed opportunities for early detection mean it is likely that thousands of patients will eventually present with late-stage disease and poor prognosis. They will also require aggressive and complex treatments that diminish their quality of life. As well as adding to the burden on the healthcare system.
Now more than ever, dental teams must prioritise the prevention, early detection and rapid referral of oral cancer.
They will play a vital role in mitigating the ongoing impact of the pandemic on outcomes for this cancer through performing examinations at every opportunity, recognising when a patient presents with signs and symptoms, and raising awareness.
Increasing burden of oral cancer in the UK
The most recent figures on mouth cancer in the UK align with the global trend. They shows an alarming rise in incidence and mortality.
The State of Mouth Cancer UK Report 2020/21 reports that last year 8,722 people were diagnosed with mouth cancer. And an estimated 2,702 people died from the disease. That’s up 58% and 48%, respectively, from a decade ago.
Early detection and rapid referral for treatment makes a huge difference for patients with oral cancer. It boosts survival from 50% to 90%.
But even before the pandemic, most patients were diagnosed at a late stage. This means they need aggressive treatments and experience poor clinical outcomes.
Why are outcomes so poor? Patients are often unaware of oral cancer and its symptoms. So they seek help late.
Clinicians do not perform enough soft tissue examinations. And many patients do not attend regular dental appointments; either through choice or because of limited access.
Impact of COVID-19 on oral cancer
Although dental practices have re-opened, capacity is still well below pre-COVID levels.
While dentists focus on urgent treatments, they may not check for signs and symptoms of oral cancer.
According to one of England’s biggest NHS Trusts, referrals fell by 65% after the beginning of lockdown. This suggests that thousands of patients are living with undiagnosed oral cancers. And we’re therefore missing opportunities for early detection.
The pandemic may also have a long-term impact on the incidence of oral cancer.
During lockdowns, some people engaged more often in behaviours that are known risk factors. Such as smoking and excess drinking.
School closures also interrupted full delivery of vaccination against human papillomavirus (HPV), another important risk factor.
Dental teams have a vital role in improving oral cancer outcomes
A huge effort is needed to stem the rise in cases of oral cancer and improve outcomes for patients. Dental teams will play a leading role by providing:
- Intra- and extra-oral examinations at every opportunity. During routine check-ups and treatment appointments…

When MERIDA presented the eONE-SIXTY in 2016, it not only set the benchmark in riding performance with rave reviews and awards, but it also became one of the Taiwanese brand’s most successful models. With the new MERIDA eONE-SIXTY 2020, the world’s second largest bike manufacturer want to build on that success and up their game once more. Will they succeed?
The new flagship MERIDA eONE-SIXTY 2020 model costs € 9,799. With the same Shimano STEPS E8000 motor, the same 504 Wh battery capacity, the same amount of travel, the same aluminium rear triangle as the original model and only minimally updated geometry, most of the key figures have remained the same. You have to ask yourself: what’s new with the MERIDA eONE-SIXTY 2020?
We were the only magazine in the world to be given the exclusive privilege of following the development process of the new MERIDA eONE-SIXTY 2020. During a visit to MERIDA’s headquarters in Taiwan as well as the German development centre in Magstadt, we gained a much deeper understanding of what goes into the creation and production of an eMTB. How is a bike made? What is the difference between a bike brand and a bike manufacturer? What are the real working conditions like in the Far East? And what makes MERIDA so special? You’ll find all the answers and the full story in our next issue.
The carbon fibre frame and integrated Shimano battery of the MERIDA eONE-SIXTY 2020
The conclusion of our last group test showed that the MERIDA eONE Sixty, which has been on the market for three years now, is still an excellent eMTB with great all-round characteristics, but in comparison to its latest competitors, it has lost its edge on the trail and in looks. The development team of the MERIDA eONE-SIXTY, led by Reynaldo Ilagan and Benjamin Diemer, knew this too so an integrated yet removable battery without compromise was high on the list of priorities for the new eONE-SIXTY.
There was one problem though: the existing internal 8020 Shimano battery that was available when they started the project wasn’t an option for the designers due to its dimensions and limited integration potential. To overcome this hurdle the development team of new MERIDA eONE-SIXTY 2020 partnered with Shimano to develop the new 504 Wh Shimano STEPS BT-E8035 battery that we recently saw released, featuring significantly more compact dimensions and offering greatly improved and more seamless integration. According to MERIDA, an opening in the down tube for the integrated battery can reduce stiffness by up to 70%. In order to achieve the desired stiffness without increasing the bike’s overall weight, they rely on a carbon main frame, even managing to reduce its weight compared to the previous model. The straight down tube is also claimed to offer increased stiffness compared to a curved tube. A steering block is present to prevent the fork from impacting the down tube. The rear linkage has already proven itself on the current MERIDA eONE-SIXTY, remaining unchanged on its successor so there should be no short supply of bearings and spare parts when it comes to servicing.
For the new eONE-SIXTY, MERIDA and Shimano started a development partnership, resulting in the release of Shimano’s new, compact BT-E8035 batter
Shhhhh! – designing a quiet bike was as a big goal for the team behind the development of the MERIDA eONE-SIXTY 2020
Another important point for MERIDA was to build a bike that is as quiet as possible, i.e. reducing the noise from chain slap or rattling cables. A lot of time was invested in designing a battery cover that adequately protects the battery and doesn’t become a source of noise. They’ve achieved this by using two different plastics and replaceable O-rings at the latch to compensate for tolerances and generally achieve a tighter fit.
The internally routed cables are very neatly secured in the down tube while being easily accessible, similar to the YT DECOY. The cable guides on the MERIDA eONE-SIXTY also serve as bottle cage bosses. In order not to loosen the cables when loosening the bottle cage, MERIDA use a total of 4 screws.
There is also the large, dragon-like chainstay protector – will these measures actually work and provide for a better, quieter ride on the trail?
The design of the MERIDA eONE-SIXTY 2020: Testarossa cooling fins or M3 grille?
Design and integration play a major role on the new MERIDA eONE-SIXTY 2020. The design highlight and most distinctive feature is the so-called Thermo-Gate, which looks like the grille of a sports car where the down tube meets the head tube, accomplishing three tasks: first of all, it’s an inlet for the internally routed cables. Secondly, it lets warm air escape from the interior of the down tube like a chimney – less so when riding, but rather when you’ve got the bike standing in the sun. The battery will be happy! Third task? It just looks damn good! Unfortunately, the position of the Thermo Gate only really looks cool on size medium and large, the proportions aren’t quite as harmonious on the other sizes.
The Thermo-Gate grille at the head tube is reminiscent of the air intakes of a Ferrari Testarossa.
In general, the silhouette of the MERIDA eONE-SIXTY 2020 is beautifully slim. This has been achieved in part thanks to the compact design of the new Shimano STEPS BT-E8035 battery, but the flowing shapes and open design around the bottom bracket area certainly help too. The shock is mounted on a bridge that hovers over the motor, giving the frame a lighter, less bulky look. The open design should also prevent an accumulation of dirt and mud. Without an additional cover, the motor looks a lot more compact while also being cooled better. The Shimano charging socket is located just in front of the shock mount, where the down tube meets the motor.

Tires MAXXIS Assegai 3C EXO+ 29×2.5″/MAXXIS Minion DHR II 3C EXO+ 27.5×2.6″
Wheels DT Swiss SPLINE HXC 1200
The new MERIDA eONE-SIXTY 2020 comes with mixed wheel sizes (MX). Up front, MERIDA have specced a 29×2.5″ MAXXIS Assegai, and the rear wheel comes fitted with a 27.5×2.6″ MAXXIS Minion DHR II offering better agility and precision.
Other clever details on the MERIDA eONE-SIXTY 2020 include the MERIDA Expert eTR cockpit, where the cables of the Shimano STEPS E7000 remote are routed through the inside of the handlebar, and the lever of MERIDA Expert TR axle on the rear wheel can be removed and used as a mini tool. The axle lever doubles as a 4mm and a 6mm Allen key, which are the two most common bolt sizes on the bike. Detaching the lever from the rear axle is easiest when you grab it in the middle, otherwise it jams.
The in-house dropper seat post offers 125mm (XS), 150mm (S / M), or 170mm (L / XL) of travel, depending on the frame size, and is easy to operate using the ergonomic Shimano SL-MT800 lever.
MERIDA eONE-SIXTY 2020: weight and gross weight limit
Our test bike, the size L MERIDA eONE-SIXTY 10K, weighs 22.3 kg. The gross weight limit (i.e. bike + rider) is only 120 kg due to the carbon rims on the flagship model. The more affordable models are cleared for 140 kg.
Geometry of the all-new eONE-SIXTY
Compared to its predecessor, the geometry of the new eONE-SIXTY has changed only slightly. The head angle has been slackened to 65.5°, and the 75.5° seat tube angle has steepened slightly for improved climbing capabilities. While the old model was optimised for 175 mm cranks, the new model has been designed around shorter 165 mm cranks. This has allowed MERIDA to lower the bottom bracket without increasing the risk of pedal strikes on the trail. Nevertheless, we did experience the occasional pedal strike in technical terrain.

Exclusive first ride review: MERIDA eONE-SIXTY 2020
We had the privilege of reviewing the flagship model of new MERIDA eONE-SIXTY 2020 for several weeks before the official launch, giving the bike hell on our home-trails in Stuttgart as well as on some very technically demanding terrain in the Black Forest. In short: we were blown away! The new eONE-SIXTY 2020 doesn’t have any particularly unusual features or unique innovations, convincing us rather with its brilliant performance. Thanks to the carefully specced componentry and smart details, the new MERIDA eONE-SIXTY 2020 takes all the good bits of its predecessor and makes them even better! And believe us, we are not just talking about marginal gains here.
With independently adjustable low and high-speed compression and rebound settings, you’ve got all the options to fine-tune the high-end FOX Factory suspension, although as with all FOX suspension, there are no sag markers printed on the stanchions so you’ll have to use a ruler to adjust the sag. There is no climb switch on the shock to stiffen up the rear suspension either, but it’s not really needed!
Removing and installing the new Shimano STEPS BT-E8035 battery is very easy. Important: when latching the battery cover, you really have to push it down all the way before securing it with the rubber strap. We also recommend making sure the grips are properly tightened: if they slip you might damage the cable of the E7000 remote that’s routed inside the handlebar. That’s it for our tips, let’s hit the trails!
The new MERIDA eONE-SIXTY 2020 handles superbly and is a lot of fun. Climbing to the top of the trail-head is no problem at all, the bike simply shrugs off even the steepest and most technical climbs. The steeper seat tube angle seems to have paid off, yet the riding position isn’t cramped and remains nicely centred. The sitting position is upright while feeling very integrated in the bike. Surprisingly, the MERIDA is quieter on the climbs than most Shimano E8000 equipped eMTBs we’ve ridden to date (and we’ve ridden a lot of them!). The reason? The new carbon fibre frame doesn’t resonate as much with the noise of the motor.
The MERIDA has no particularly unusual features and isn’t a firework of innovation, but its performance on the trail is absolutely brilliant!
Once at the top of the mountain, we lower the 170 mm dropper post and plunge into the descent. Here, the bike feels extremely balanced and fleet-footed, despite its 22.3 kg heft (in size L). There’s no cable rattling, no chain slapping and the very quiet freehub of the DT Swiss Hybrid wheels means that you glide down the trail almost silently, or should we say fly down the trail?!
The handling of the previous eONE-SIXTY was already good as it was, but the new version is noticeably more lively, agile and precise thanks to the narrower tires on the mixed wheel sizes (29×2.5″/27.5×2.6″) as well as the refined geometry. Flicking, whipping, and playing – whether on the trail or in the air, the bike feels right at home whatever the terrain, easily manoeuvring tight corners while staying calm and composed at higher speeds and always remaining in control with the plush and capable FOX suspension offering plenty of reserves. The Shimano XTR brakes offer all the braking power and modulation you might need, and the MAXXIS Assegai front tire digs into the forest floor and provides excellent control and plenty of grip even on off-camber corners. On hard-packed surfaces, however, there are tires out there that offer more precision.
The fact that MERIDA doesn’t include a skid-plate for the motor helps to keep the compact frame design and improves motor cooling. However, during the course of our testing, we did hit the motor once in particularly extreme terrain, which left a few small scratches. We also hit the cranks several times on (very) technical climbs, although not more often than with comparable bikes. The slightly lower bottom bracket compared to the previous model paired with the shorter 165 mm cranks is perfectly fine.
The MERIDA is the perfect all-rounder – from use as an SUV to thrashing it down the roughest trails, thanks to its balanced handling and the very central riding position, it can do it all.
The good news for those who like to play with the terrain: the MERIDA eONE-SIXTY 2020 rewards a very active riding style with a lot of agility. The good news for those who prefer to take things a little easier: the MERIDA eONE-SIXTY 2020 also allows for a more relaxed riding style. And the spec is just as suitable for the most merciless riders, except for the carbon rims of the DT Swiss XRC 1200 Hybrid wheels.
Regarding the 504 Wh battery, a lot of other bikes now offer more capacity, but you can always carry a second battery for those really long rides. The flagship model even comes with a spare battery and a custom made matching Evoc backpack. The advantages of a complete Shimano system are obvious: you’ll know who to call in case of a service or warranty issue.
All models of the new MERIDA eONE-SIXTY – from € 4,999 to € 9,799 – are available on October 2019. You’ll find all the specs on the second page.
No mercy: we didn’t go easy on the new MERIDA eONE-SIXTY 2020 and because of the numerous accolades we’d already bestowed on the previous model over the past few years, it had no easy task living up to the very high expectations we had of it from the start. Anyone who was expecting a firework of innovation on the new eONE-SIXTY will be disappointed, but if you’re looking for excellent performance on the trail, the new MERIDA eONE Sixty is one of the hottest bikes of the new season! The MERIDA eONE-SIXTY 2020 is super versatile, featuring some cleverly thought-out details and looks absolutely stunning with its machined aluminium Thermo-Gate grille!
- outstanding handling
- very versatile, from SUV to bike park bike
- plush suspension
- no cable rattling or chain slap – extremely quiet
- smart details
- Thermo-Gate design
- top model includes spare battery
- 504 Wh is usually sufficient, but other bikes now have more capacity
- low gross weight limit of 120 kg on the 10K model due to the DT Swiss carbon wheels

Sensational Ghanaian songstress, MzVee is allegedly pregnant and set to marry very soon. This comes after she has disappeared from the music scene with fans constantly asking about her whereabouts.
The singer who has been off the music scene for sometime now left her record label, Lynx Entertainment not long ago and it seems it is due to the fact that she is not in good condition at the moment.
CEO of Lynx Entertainment commented on her absence stating that the singer’s current condition wouldn’t permit her to do music.
As being speculated, it seems there is some iota of truth as we have sighted some reports suggesting that the singer is heavily pregnant and set to marry very soon.
We take a cue from Richie Mensah’s recent comments and from all indications, the ‘See My Mother’ hit maker is indeed pregnant.
Richie in the latest interview has denied claims that Mzvee is no more with his record label and that Mzvee is not pregnant as people have since speculated.
According to Richie Mensah, Mzvee’s current state does not put her in the shape to perform professionally.
“I will say the state in which MzVee is does not put her in the shape to perform music professionally,” he said.
Coincidentally, MzVee has also not uploaded ‘new’ pictures as she has been doing and she has always been posting ‘old’ pictures to ‘deceive’ us she is not pregnant.
Well, since the result of every pregnancy is childbirth, we just have to wait for her to prove to us that she is indeed not pregnant.

Here’s some interesting info on about present day LeMurians and Inner Earth. It was a part of a messge from Archangel Metatron channeled by James Tyberonn posted on his website November 17, 2012 entitled “Easter Island -Rapa Nui 144 ~ Umbilical of the New Earth”:
Many of you do not truly consider that the interior of the Omni Earth is inhabited, but we assure you that it is absolutely populated. In fact every planet in your solar system, as well as three of your planetary moons are inhabited internally, in chasms below
Those that dwell within the inner dimensions of the Earth are numerous. But we add that none of the extra terrestrials currently on the Earth are hostile or interfering. Indeed they are providing a protective shield for the planet. All are associated with the Ashtar group or the Sirian-Pleiadean Alliance. Some of the extra terrestrials have been here from the beginning, before humanity in fact. The most prominent of
these include those from Sirius, the Pleiades, Arcturius, and other specific benevolent of the bi-nary star systems.
They have observation bases or what may be termed laboratories. Some have roles in maintaining aspects of planetary interface with other realms.

2015 Ford Mustang GT vs. 2014 Ford Mustang GT
2015 Ford Mustang GT is the most advanced Mustang ever but for some folks, nothing looks as good as a 2014 Mustang GT, the car is flat-out gorgeous.
Let’s take a closer look using practical variables, but keep in mind that the purchase of a Mustang is often driven by emotion more than anything else.
Ford’s designers made the 2015 model sleeker and more muscular. The 2015 model appears much sportier and visually slimmer than the 2014. The 2015 Mustang’s styling is a definite improvement over the 2014’s design.
Both cars feature a ton of optional technology, including selectable driving modes, Sync with AppLink connectivity, and Track Apps that record acceleration times, braking performance, and g-forces. As with the exterior, the 2015 Mustang retro cues are toned down to give the cabin a more modern look. The interior feels a bit more sports car than muscle car, but still familiar to anyone stepping out of the 2014 Mustang.
The 2015 Mustang is equipped with a standard Intelligent Key passive entry system with push-button starting and a tyre pressure monitoring system that takes separate readings at each wheel. It has a Track Apps technology, dual-zone automatic climate control, driver-selected steering and powertrain driving modes.
The 2015 Mustang has independent-rear suspension in place of the 2014’s solid axle. Speaking of drag strips, Ford has also made electronic line lock standard equipment on the V8-powered Mustang GT. This allows the driver to easily do a burnout a necessary part of drag-race prep by locking the front brakes. The improved suspension alone should make the 2015 Mustang superior to the 2014, while the line-lock feature should be good for a few bar boasts.
The new version of America’s pony car is a more fuel-efficient machine. It has three engines, 3.7-liter V6 installed in the standard model and the Mustang GT’s 5.0-liter V8 are essentially the same as before, though the engineers made minor upgrades and refinements for duty in the redesigned model.
When you take a look at the Mustang’s reliability track record, your impressions are coloured by the source of information you use. According to J.D. Power, the Mustang has long been a quality and dependability leader in its class, having won multiple awards over the years. If you scan Consumer Reports, you will find that models with a V6 engine rate an average score, while V8 models prove more troublesome.
With the new Mustang, the reliability ratings are different depending on how you measure things. Given a newfound emphasis on quality and materials, coupled with improvements to existing powertrains, buyers of the 2015 Mustang might find their cars to be more impressive.
Based on what Ford has shared thus far about the redesigned 2015 Mustang, is more fuel-efficient, technologically advanced and safer. Still, if you are interested in getting a killer deal on an iconic American pony car that is reasonably safe, dependable and fuel-efficient in V6 format, grab the 2014 Mustang while you still can.

Cat Flap Fitter Chipping Sodbury Gloucestershire (BS37): Fitting a cat flap to an external door or wall in your Chipping Sodbury property allows your cat the independence and freedom it needs to live a life of contentment. Cats kept inside, as with people, will often show signs of irritation. Allowing your furry friend access to the outside world by way of a cat flap can help keep them mentally and physically fit. So, you think it's a good idea, but which is perfect form of cat flap for your beloved pet?
The most straightforward style of, is merely that. A hole is cut into an exterior door and a flexible material is hung over the gap to give a bit of some protection from the elements. Obviously, this is extremely basic, and will rarely adequate for most Chipping Sodbury cat owners, who would no doubt favour something a tad more secure and weatherproof for an exterior door to their house, although it might be okay for an outhouse door or fence panel.
Because this option allows other cats or animals to enter your home, it's not at all ideal, though it can be improved on a little by holding the flap in position with the addition of magnetic strips.
Magnetically controlled, RF chip or infra-red styles of cat flap, are a step up from the magnetic strip variation. In this case, either an RF chip, IR or magnet will be sewn into your cat's collar. What this means is that any animal that doesn't have a special collar can't access or leave your property. The point that any other moggy in the Chipping Sodbury area who's got a similar collar could possible gain access to your home, is the downside with this type of cat flap. An upgrade to this device is an RF cat flap/collar system which has a unique identifier that can be programmed by the householder.
A model of cat flap which is can be operated by your pet's own micro-chip, is the next level in feline entrance security. The memory of these battery powered cat flaps can be programmed with one or more microchip numbers (if you have several cats), to provide exclusive access. Exit and entry are only possible for microchipped animals, and the flap is unlocked when you cat is in close proximity.
Whenever you are purchasing a cat flap, you must make sure that it's of a design that can be locked into position. For added flexibility, almost all cat flaps feature a 4-way locking system these days. Which means it has the capability to allow exit from your premises only, be fully locked, permit only entrance into your house, or be put in two-way entry and exit mode. This gives you solutions for all times of day and night, to control precisely how your cat flap operates. The facility to perform specific functions according to the time of day, and in keeping with your pet's and your requirements is also a possibility with some of the high end models of cat flap.
If you are pretty good at DIY, fitting your own cat flap shouldn't be all that difficult, as long as you've got a solid timber door on your Chipping Sodbury home. Under no circumstances should you try to install a cat flap in a reinforced uPVC door or in a double glazed window. These sorts of fixtures call for a professional installation from a trustworthy cat flap fitter or odd job man with the appropriate equipment and skills.
INSTALLING A CAT FLAP IN CHIPPING SODBURY
Double Glazing Installation - If your cat flap has to be fitted into a double glazed window or door panel, and your chosen "tradesman" endeavours to drill a hole in it, stop them immediately and give them their marching orders. A new cat flap cannot be installed into a pre-existing double glazing door panel or window pane. Any kind of double glazing will be ruined by cutting or drilling into it, and will detract from its security, strength and insulating properties. Your double glazing will be rendered unsound, and it should never be attempted under any circumstances whatsoever.
A reliable Chipping Sodbury cat flap fitter will meticulously take the measurements of your existing unit and order a ready prepared one from a local glazing company. This new glazed pane will arrive with a hole pre-cut as an integral part of its construction where the cat flap can be installed. This is the only way to fit a cat flap into an existing patio or double glazed door, even though it may take a week or two to manufacture. Once you have obtained your new modified panel of glass, the old one can be removed and the new unit fitted. The fitting of the cat flap will then be concluded.

Godfrey’s ‘AirBnB’ short-term rental ordinance only covered homes — may be amended to include single rooms
Trustees want room rentals added
GODFREY — Village officials plan to amend Godfrey’s new ordinance dealing with short-term rentals, such as AirBnb, to include rented rooms in addition to entire homes.
At Tuesday’s meeting, Godfrey Trustee Mark Stewart motioned to reconsider the ordinance passed at the last meeting but then withdrew his motion after considerable debate and an agreement to sit down with Zoning Administrator Laura Dixon to discuss the issue.
On Feb. 18, the board approved an ordinance regulating the rentals after discussing the matter for several months. While a number of Godfrey residents advertise such rentals, the village had no zoning or regulations for them.
The ordinance approved last month covers rentals of up to 30 consecutive days or a total of 60 days per year. Homeowners must have an inspection, comply with any homeowner’s association rules and pay an annual $250 fee to the village as well as the village’s hotel/motel tax. Owners are allowed to provide light snacks and, while no alcohol can be sold or dispensed, wine may be included in a welcome basket.
At Tuesday’s meeting, Steward and Virginia Woulfe-Beile expressed concerns that the ordinance only allowed renting an homes. They said it was common to just rent a room. Both said they thought the issue had been addressed in the ordinance, but were mistaken.
In other business Godfrey Trustee Jeff Weber asked whether money could be set aside each year to replace the newly-approved artificial turf soccer fields planned for Glazebrook Park. The board also approved a contract for the design and construction of the new $1.2 million fields, intended to attract tournaments and leagues while extening the soccer season.
It was estimated the turf will have to be replaced every 8 to 10 years at a cost of about half the construction cost.
The board also approved buying a new street sweeper from Woody’s Municipal Supply Co. of Edwardsville for $262,228. The village’s previous sweeper was destroyed by an electrical fire, with insurance paying all but $500 of the replacement cost.
Also approved was the purchase of two new computers for Building and Zoning for $2,996 and a new copier for the mayor’s office for $571.19. Both purchases are from Williams Office Products of Alton.

For this holiday week, Dorsch and Navarre branch staff recommend some thrillers. Behind Closed Doors by B.A. Paris is suspenseful and eye-opening. It's about a couple, Jack and Grace. He has looks and wealth, she has charm and elegance. You might not want to like them, but you do. You'd like to get to know Grace better, but it's been difficult...because sometimes, the perfect marriage is the perfect lie. Catherine Steadman’s Something in the Water is also psychologically suspenseful. The perfect couple on their honeymoon find something valuable, and disturbing, in the water. But, do they tell authorities? Of course not. And, there are consequences to that decision. What would you do? It’s a perfect book discussion book! Another exciting title is The Night Olivia Fell by Christina McDonald. It is about a pregnant daughter who is rendered brain dead from a fall. She is placed on life support to help the baby survive and her grieving mother notices suspicious injuries. She resolves to uncover the truth and makes it her mission to find out who’s responsible.
Are you a nonfiction reader? Do you like survival stories? Try Maid : hard work, low pay, and a mother's will to survive by Stephanie Land. Publisher’s Weekly says it’s a “beautiful, uplifting story of resilience.” In this heartfelt debut memoir, Land describes the struggles she faced as a young single mother living in poverty. Her daughter learned to walk in a homeless shelter, but Land found work as a house cleaner, moved out of the shelter, and built a life. Michelle Obama’s Becoming is also an inspiring read about her life from childhood through adulthood. Dorsch staff recommends Heart talk : poetic wisdom for a better life. It’s described by WorldCat as “a beautifully illustrated book from Cleo Wade--the artist, poet, and speaker who has been called "the Millennial Oprah" by New York Magazine--that offers creative inspiration and life lessons through poetry, mantras, and affirmations.”

Toxicity of Antifungal Drugs Itraconazole and Fluconazole in Rats
Abdul Rahman, Nor Shahida (2004) Toxicity of Antifungal Drugs Itraconazole and Fluconazole in Rats. Masters thesis, Universiti Putra Malaysia.
Itraconazole and Fluconazole are the newer antifungal drugs that have been used for several years. Both these drugs have a broad-spectrum antifungal activity and currently are used to treat infections caused by Candida albicans, Aspergillus spp., Paracoccidioides brasiliensis, Sporothrix schenckii, Histoplasma capsulatum, Ciyptococcus neoformans and many others. The objective of this study is to investigate the in vitro and in vivo cytotoxicity of these two antifungal drugs. The in vitro and in vivo cytotoxicity of fluconazole and itraconazole were studied in thirty eight male Sprague Dawley rats. Freshly isolated rat hepatocytes were obtained for the in vitro treatment of fluconazole and itraconazole using a liver perfusion technique. The cell viability test was done by trypan blue exclusion. As a result, both fluconazole and itraconazole cause a reduction in cell viability of hepatocytes. However, itraconazole exerted its cytotoxicity more than fluconazole in both time- and dosedependent manner. Meanwhile, cytotoxicity of itraconazole was reduced significantly by Phenobarbital pretreatment. Phenobarbital did not have any effect on the .-. i l l cytotoxicity induced by fluconazole. In vivo studies revealed that rat's liver and kidney treated with repeated-doses of itraconazole showed a significantly higher in total protein in liver and kidney and significant increase in serum ALP and ALT activity. This is in agreement with histological findings that the rat treated with repeateddoses of itraconazole showed severe histological features compared to fluconazole. Morphological changes such as inflammation and fibrosis of liver were frequently seen in repeated-doses of itraconazole. This present study suggests that Phenobarbital plays a role in the cytoprotection of hepatocytes to itraconazole-induced but not fluconazole-induced cytotoxicity in vitro.

Stevens Adds Millions in Earmarks to Omnibus
Despite scrutiny from investigators representing at least five federal departments and agencies, a midsummer raid of his home by law enforcement officials and a home-state governor increasingly hostile to earmarks, GOP Sen. Ted Stevens of Alaska is showing no signs of abandoning earmarks and directed spending, netting interests in the state more than $88 million in this year’s omnibus, according to a review by Roll Call.
That total includes nearly $3.5 million for the Alaska Sealife Center — which is being investigated by the FBI, Department of Interior and the Internal Revenue Service as part of their inquiry into Stevens — as well as millions of dollars for berry research, “alternative salmon products” and other programs benefiting Alaska businesses with ties to the lawmaker.
The House was expected at press time to pass the massive omnibus appropriations bill and ship it to the Senate for consideration this week.
According to a preliminary review of the bill, Stevens is listed as inserting 17 earmarks into the bill, worth more than $25 million. The earmarks would cover a variety of projects, including $824,000 for alternative salmon products, $975,000 for berry research, $332,000 for “new crop opportunities,” $133,000 for native plant commercialization, $700,000 for the Mountain View revitalization project in Anchorage and $7.5 million for the Denali Commission to undertake transportation infrastructure projects in the state.
The bill also includes a series of spending requirements in its report language directing the National Marine Fisheries Service to spend some $62.9 million to wildlife and fishing industry projects long championed by Stevens, including the $3.478 million for the Sealife Center, $58.5 million for Pacific salmon management and $235,000 for the SE Seiners Capacity Reduction Program.
Stevens’ aggressive use of earmarks to fund projects and industries close to him, his son, Ben, and former aides like Trevor McCabe has come under federal investigation this year. Both he and his son have been raided by the FBI, and have had their relationships with the fishing industry as well as with former VECO CEO Bill Allen — who pleaded guilty to corruption charges involving state officials this spring — investigated. Ben Stevens and McCabe both worked for the Alaska Fisheries Marketing Board, a nonprofit created by the elder Stevens that also has come under investigation. AFMB dolled out more than $30 million in federal funds earmarked by Stevens over the past several years for a variety of projects, including a dog treat company owned by another former Stevens aide.
Interior and the FBI also are investigating connections between the Sealife Center, Stevens and McCabe, according to federal officials, and numerous fishing industry executives and lobbyists have been served subpoenas over the past year.
Although Stevens’ fervor for the earmarking process does not seem to have subsided despite the increased scrutiny, state officials have cooled to the idea. Earlier this year Karen Rehfeld, GOP Gov. Sarah Palin’s budget chief, issued a memorandum to state agencies directing them to reduce the number of earmark requests they made to their Congressional delegation. Rehfeld argued in the memo that belt-tightening on earmarks was needed to “enhance the state’s credibility” and is seen as part of Palin’s broader effort to weed out corruption and waste in a state government that has been rocked by a series of high-profile convictions of former state lawmakers.
Indeed, even national Republicans have begun to sour to the excesses of earmarking. President Bush has been harshly critical of the number of earmarks included in this year’s appropriations measures and conservative lawmakers in the House and Senate have seen some success in lampooning some earmarks — like Stevens’ famous “Bridges to Nowhere” earmarks and Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton’s (D-N.Y.) Woodstock Museum — to shame their fellow legislators into eliminating some.

Driving Maximum Value Out Of SAP To Azure Migration
Podcast - Azure, SAP
Back with another topic for the podcast. Raghavendra Prabhu (Prabhu) ( Global Head – Sales & Solutions) speaks on – Driving Maximum Value Out Of SAP To Azure Migration.
The COVID-19 outbreak has generated enough hurdles for the IT industry and created a lag in the way it functions. Considering these uncertainties of the times, Prabhu states a few pragmatic approaches to help customers derive maximum value out of technology projects, especially the migration of SAP to Azure.
He even asserts, how since the onset of the COVID-19 outbreak, MSRCOSMOS has been responding to customers need through a compelling offer of Free POC / Pilot migration of SAP infrastructure to Azure. Several customers have leveraged the offer to accelerate their cloud migration decisions.
Transcript of the Podcast: –
Question: During this time of uncertainty, what would be your suggestion to derive minimum value out of technology projects, especially migration of SAP to Azure?
Answer: In the current challenging time due to covid-19 outbreak, we’ve been hearing customers shares concerns regarding their critical applications and infrastructure. Several customers have experienced unexpected challenges when executing disaster recovery and business continuity plan for their critical applications such as SAP. And it was very important for these customers to ensure these applications started despite the covid-19 issues that they were facing. But for many customers, not having a DR and DC plan for their applications and data was a rude awakening. It is more important today than ever before for customers to strengthen their critical applications, data and infrastructure.
Cloud and more specifically Azure offers a great platform and a huge opportunity for customers to accelerate their plans to upgrade and migrate SAP applications. The power of Azure’s data and AI services delivered deep insights from SAP data faster and easier than the traditional tools and technologies. MSR has been championing SAP immigration effort for customers for over five years now. Since the onset of covid-19 outbreak MSRCosmos has been responding to customers need through a compelling offer of free PEOC or pilot migration of SAP infrastructure to Azure.
We believe that this act of us helped customers to evaluate cloud for their critical applications and IT needs. We have seen several customers leverage the offer to accelerate the cloud migration decisions.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Brave is a 2012 American 3D computer-animated fantasy adventure film produced by Pixar Animation Studios and distributed by Walt Disney Pictures. Wikipedia
I went to see Brave last Monday (not this Monday, but the Monday before). I will put in my disclaimer: I shed a tear at the end. In my defense, it was a really good movie.
Okay, first thoughts: The commercials were totally misleading!
Second thoughts: This is better than I thought it would be.
Brave was a movie that I wanted to see since I saw the first commercial for it months ago. Aside from my love of all things Highland, she reminded me of a book I read as a child about a princess and a dragon that switch places. It is a story about finding your place in the world and realizing that people are more than what they show you or the role they play in your life.
It’s a story about how deep the bond is between a mother and daughter, how fierce a person can be when a loved one is threatened, and how much courage and how brave you have to be to be the change you want to see in the world (yes, I totally just stole that line).
This story is about witches and bears and freedom and love. A better combination, I have yet to see! Pixar and Disney partnering up is the best thing that has happened to fairy tale lovers. With Disney’s core belief in goodness prevailing and happily ever after and Pixar’s amazing ability to show us a story and not tell, they create hit after hit.
I recommend this film for mothers with young daughters, for daughters period. We can all relate to how frustrating it can be to feel that you are not being heard. Perhaps this movie will help you move the conversations along.
For a good book that is also about a princess that is not as conventional as most and that you can read to your toddler before bed, check out: The Princess and the Dragon (Child’s Play Library)

The latest golf-related news, notes, and feature stories from the TGA.
Bret Gray Leads 114th Texas Amateur after Round 1
HOCKLEY – There are numerous ways to construct a successful gameplan for elite competitive championships such as the 114th Texas Amateur. Bret Gray from San Antonio found something that works for him, and he used it to shoot a sizzling 5-under-par 66 on Thursday at The Clubs at Houston Oaks. That was good for a one-shot lead after 18 holes at the state’s oldest and most prestigious amateur championship.
“I just played simple golf,” said Gray, who poured in five birdies and an eagle against two bogeys. “I took advantage of the par 5s and the downwind holes. I didn’t hit it phenomenally, but I got up and down when I had to.”
A sophomore at Sam Houston State and the 2022-23 Western Athletic Conference Player of the Year, Gray understated his performance on the par 5s at Houston Oaks. More accurately, he blitzed them with three birdies and an eagle to go 5-under on those four holes. He said his affinity for the golf course only increased after Thursday.
“Houston Oaks is awesome, said Gray, a two-time collegiate winner who posted six top-10s last season. “It’s a great venue for the Texas Am. It’s in great condition; the greens are rolling great. The course is kind of penal, though. You can put yourself in some bad spots and make some big scores, but if you keep it on the right side of the hole, you’ll be OK.”
One shot behind Gray is Plano’s Ethan Fang, who shot an impressive 4-under 67. The incoming California-Berkeley freshman was the runner-up at last month’s Class 6A Individual State Championship for Plano West High School.
Fang started his round on Hole 10 and promptly birdied five of the holes on the back nine of Houston Oaks.
“I hit the ball really good today,” said Fang, who skipped his Wednesday practice round at Houston Oaks and instead qualified for the U.S. Junior Amateur in Granbury. “I think I hit every fairway. Other than that, it was just a good round of ball striking. My putting was good, too. It’s a fun course to play.”
Alex Papayouanou from The Woodlands sits two shots back at 3-under 68. The incoming UCLA freshman recently won the District 13-6A individual championship for The Woodlands High School.
He started on Hole 10, and after a double bogey on the par-5 16th, Papayouanou finished his first nine holes at 2-over par.
“Once I got to the turn,” he said, “I just turned it on.”
Papayoanou rolled in a birdie on the par-4 third hole, then cashed in an eagle on the par-5 fourth hole. He added birdies on the par-3 seventh and par-5 eighth to get to 3-under overall.
“It was a grind out there today,” he said. “I’ve been hitting it well, though, and I’m really happy with how I played today.”
Five players share fourth place at 2-under 69 after the first round. That group includes Garrett Leek from Brock, Connor Adams from Dallas, Luke Dossey from Austin, Joe Stover from Dallas, and Joey Gullion from Spring.
Typical for this time of year, the heat was a factor at the 114th Texas Amateur, which is a walking-only event.
By 1 p.m., the mercury showed 93 degrees, but the heat index pushed up to 101. The National Weather Service issued a heat advisory for most of Southeast Texas, including Hockley and the vast Houston Oaks property.
“You’re sweating so much that you’re losing grip of the club,” said Chris Wheeler, the 2022 North Texas Player of the Year who shot a 1-under 70 on Thursday. “You’re trying to conserve your energy and stay hydrated as best you can. I’ve played in this event enough times to know the heat and the walking have a cumulative effect. By the time Day 4 rolls around, you really start to feel it.”
The temperature climbed to 97 degrees by 3 p.m., with a heat index of 108. Even as late in the afternoon as 6 p.m., it was still 95 degrees with a triple-digit heat index. The cloud cover from the morning burned away, leaving the competitors exposed to the oppressive sun for much of the afternoon. The wind kicked up a bit, too. It was a steady 10-15 mph, with gusts up to 25 mph as the day wore on.
C.J. Brock, one of the more experienced mid-amateurs in the field, said the heat took a toll on him physically and mentally.
“Honestly, I don’t know if it’s possible to drink enough fluids while you’re on the golf course,” said C.J. Brock, who shot a 1-over 72. “But it’s also much more of a mental challenge. You start to lose it mentally before you lose it physically. I had some shots today, like on the short par-3 fifth hole, where I just couldn’t get comfortable. It was because of the heat.”
Sitting at the center of the sprawling, nearly 1,200-acre property, the golf course is the crown jewel of Houston Oaks, a multi-faceted club that also features a shooting range, a six-court tennis club, pickleball courts, wine club, fishing club, and a swim club. There’s also a baseball field, an equestrian club, and a hen house that produces farm-fresh eggs to its world-class dining facilities.
In short, it’s an amazing club that literally has something for everyone.
Once known as Tennwood Country Club in the 1950s, the course was a private facility for the employees of Tenneco Oil & Gas. The club was bought by three Houston families in the mid-2000s and received a massive, multimillion dollar renovation in 2016-17 by acclaimed architect Chet Williams, formerly of Jack Nicklaus Design.
The result was a spectacular, 7,007-yard, par-71 masterpiece that weaves around – and sometimes through – massive, centuries-old oak trees, of which there are more than 1,000 on the property. Certain holes, such as the 16th and 17th, feature gigantic oaks in the fairway that require thoughtful planning or specific shot shapes to avoid.
In addition to several natural water features, another one of Houston Oaks’ defenses is the widespread native areas covered in Bahia grass. In the same family as the ultra-sticky Paspalum grass, the Bahia at Houston Oaks stands about knee-high length and is as thick as cold spaghetti.
“Luckily, I avoided hitting it in there today,” Wheeler said. “I did go in there for a couple ball searches, though. Good luck finding anything in there. You have to step on it or get lucky somehow. Most likely, it’s gone.”
This week marks the second time Houston Oaks has opened its door to a TGA major championship. It also welcomed the Texas Mid-Amateur in 2021. In addition, Houston Oaks hosted the 2018 Texas Shootout, 2020 Jackie Burke Cup, multiple U.S. Women’s Open qualifiers, and the 2022 and ’23 Big 12 Conference Match Play Championship.
A total of 16 players broke par for Round 1. Another 14 competitors are within six shots of Gray at 1-over 71, including Trey Bosco, who won the 111th Texas Amateur in 2020.
During Wednesday night’s exceptional Players’ Reception at Houston Oaks, the TGA honored last season’s top players, as well as two standout volunteers.
Colleyville’s Zach Atkinson received the night’s biggest award. The longtime amateur stalwart and TGA Director picked up a beautiful bronze 2022 Texas Player of the Year trophy for his consistent, elite performances last summer. Atkinson finished second at the 2022 Texas Mid-Amateur and was a semifinalist at the Texas Mid-Amateur Match Play. He also tied for fourth place at the 113th Texas Amateur, a championship he won back in 2004.
Wheeler took home the 2022 North Texas Player of the Year award. Wheeler won the North Texas Four-Ball with his partner Bobby Massa. Wheeler finished fourth at the North Texas Mid-Amateur, tied for fifth at the North Texas Amateur, and was solo sixth at the 2022 West Texas Amateur.
Boosted by a victory at the South Texas Amateur, Austin’s Dan Depasquale won the 2022 South Texas Player of the Year. He also tied for eighth at the West Texas Amateur and shared a piece of ninth place at the South Texas Four-Ball with his partner Jermaine Rakoczy.
Ed Rapp from Houston was honored as the 2022 South Texas Volunteer of the Year, and Ken Renwick from Dallas picked up the 2022 North Texas Volunteer of the Year. The volunteers are the lifeforce that make TGA Championships possible. It’s their hard work and tireless dedication that create memorable and exciting experiences for the players. We can never thank Rapp, Renwick, and all their colleagues for their help.
By the Numbers
1 – This is the first time Houston Oaks has played host to the Texas Amateur.
4 – There are four past Texas Amateur champions in the field, including Atkinson (2004), Austin’s Trey Bosco (2020), Pottsboro’s Austyn Reily (2021), and defending 2022 champion Holden Wisener from Dallas.
4, part 2 – There are four sets of brothers playing in the 114th Texas Amateur: Aiden and Deacon Dortch, Luke and Sam Dossey, Hayes and Holden Hamilton, and Trevor and Trenton Mierl.
5 – Houston Oaks boasts five par 3s, making precise iron play crucial. The holes range in length during the 114th Texas Amateur from 115 yards to 240 yards. “The par 3s are tough out here,” said Gray, the leader after Round 1. “Even the shortest hole of the day. I bogeyed it, and it was only playing 117 yards. If you play the par 3s good this week, I feel like you have a pretty good chance.”
16 – The youngest player in the field this week is 16-year-old Finn Burkholder from The Woodlands. There are three other 16-year-olds playing this week, as well.
26.2 – The average age in this year’s championship.
54 – This year’s eldest statesman is 54-year-old Bill Skorheim from Spring. There are no senior amateurs in the field, a scenario that hasn’t happened in several years.
144 – A full field of 144 players comprises this year’s championship.
1,176 – A record number of amateur golfers registered to qualify for this year’s Texas Amateur. The 1,176 entries surpassed the 1,010 accepted at the 111th Texas Amateur in 2020 at Boot Ranch in Fredericksburg.

There’s a lot to like about Anita Majumdar’s exploration of so-called “honour killings”, not the least of which is the actress herself. Majumdar is talented mimic, bringing to like a whole cast of quirky, memorable characters. She is also a breathtakingly graceful dancer and a playwright adept at using humour to explore difficult topics. The story is narrated by Naz, an Indo-Canadian Kathak dancer who has brought shame to her family and been disowned for marrying an Indian boy of whom they disapprove. There are problems with the way Naz’s story is told: It’s not always easy to follow and it is very difficult to believe that the hardworking and responsible Naz would give up everything for this particular boy, who is an unlikable gangsta poseur. But problems aside, The Misfit ends up being both entertaining and thought-provoking.

“My heart is not proud, Lord, my eyes are not haughty; I do not concern myself with great matters or things too wonderful for me. But I have calmed and quieted myself, I am like a weaned child with its mother; like a weaned child I am content.”
—Psalm 131:1-2 NIV
These words are a great example of a healthy relationship with God.
Not prideful, but calm and quiet in God’s presence.
And like a weaned child who no longer drinks its mother’s milk: still fully dependent on its mother, but no longer demanding that she fulfill its every need.
That is how we should be with God.
There will, of course, be moments when we need to cry out to God and bring our troubles before him. That’s part of the biblical model of prayer.
But our goal should be to reach a place of calm and quiet in his presence.
To no longer see God as a “cosmic vending machine” that exists to satisfy our every whim but to simply enjoy being with him.
Take a moment to quiet your soul and be present to God today.
Here is a simple prayer to carry with you today:
Exhale: I just want to be with you.


The Toronto Maple Leafs have been very busy this offseason and brought in a whole bunch of forwards.
With all the new names brought in, many have forgot the names that have left including the Leafs' 2013 first round pick Frederik Gauthier.
It seems like the rest of the NHL has forgotten about him too.
Gauthier has yet to sign a free contract with any team and that's not exactly good news for the 25 year old.
According to Elliotte Friedman there's no contract coming and he'll have to fight his way onto a roster.
Friedman reports the only option right now is a PTO with the Arizona Coyotes.
"Sounds like former Maple Leafs center Frederik Gauthier is weighing a Pro Try-out offer with Arizona. The Coyotes are looking for a center."
Do you think Gauthier can play his way onto the Coyotes roster?

Since becoming secretary of state in January, Scott Gessler has been the focus of a number of headlines.
Most recently he filed a lawsuit against the Denver clerk and recorder for mailing ballots to inactive failed to vote voters. However, a judge earlier this month denied Gessler’s motion for a preliminary injunction to stop the clerk’s office from mailing the ballots.
Now, days away from his first statewide election as secretary of state, Gessler, a Republican, stopped by to talk about the lawsuit, the steps his office is taking to make ballots open for public record and what he thinks of Proposition 103.
Even though he hasn’t publicly endorsed either side of Proposition 103 — which would increase taxes by $3 billion to fund education — Gessler did say “I personally think tax increases are really a bad idea right now in this economy.”

Electromagnetic Performance of a Carbon Composite Compact Range Reflector
Authors: Doren W. Hess, David Smith

This paper describes the first experience gained with a new carbon composite compact range reflector (C³R²). The reflector’s backup structure is made entirely of carbon fiber reinforced composite material. An outstanding advantage of this design is its superior mechanical and thermal-environmental stability. This yields improvement in the overall performance. We have revised the process by which compact range reflectors are designed and modeled, making use of professionally authored software. We describe the results of electromagnetic field probe measurements made at the factory. Special attention is given to new results at W-band – in the 75 to 100 GHz regime.

Almost exactly 2 years after the sinking of the Sewol Ferry off the coast of Donggeochado Island, South Korea, the Film Committee screened Diving Bell: The Truth Shall not Sink with Sewol, the first documentary completed in the aftermath of the disaster. Although we generally host sneak previews of brand-new films only, showing them just before their theatrical releases, there are a number of mitigating circumstances that have kept this 2014 film at the top of the headlines.
Chief among them is the unresolved nature of the Korean tragedy: Since the overloaded ferry capsized and took down 304 passengers — mostly high school students — with it, there has been no real closure. The South Korean government has been roundly criticized for its ineffectual disaster response and attempts to downplay culpability; the media has been blamed for toeing the government line; the ferry operator, captain and crew, who abandoned ship, have been charged with criminal behavior.
But of equal newsworthiness is the position of Diving Bell in a still-unfolding battle for freedom of speech and the future of the Busan International Film Festival (BIFF). When the film’s title was included in the BIFF 2014 lineup, pressure was immediately applied by the Busan City Council to withdraw it. BIFF Director Yong-kwan Lee rightly rejected the government’s interference, inviting demands for his resignation. Asian film authority Tony Rayns termed it “a textbook example of an attack on free speech and an impulse to silence opposing voices.”
Lee stood firm, the film was screened as planned in October 2014, and the national government immediately slashed its subsidies to the festival, which is considered to be Asia’s largest and most vital. The Busan City Council then stepped up pressure. Throughout 2015, thousands of supporters around the globe signed petitions and sent messages of solidarity for Lee and BIFF. Ignoring the international outrage, Busan Mayor Byung-soo Suh allowed the festival director’s contract to expire in February 2016. Korean filmmakers soon announced they would boycott BIFF 2016 if city authorities do not allow it to operate freely. Five other Korean film festivals also publicly admitted that they had also had problems with government interference.
Finally, just two days before the FCCJ screening of Diving Bell, an association of Korea’s top film bodies announced they would encourage all members to boycott BIFF 2016, reducing even further its chances of being held as normal.
Ahn, has a long relationship with Japan, and made all his remarks in fluent Japanese.
Making the timing of FCCJ’s screening seem even more prescient, on April 19, Reporters Without Borders announced its 2016 Freedom of the Press rankings, and warned of “a new era of propaganda.” To no one’s surprise, South Korea had tumbled 10 places, down to #70. But of greater impact was this: Japan’s ranking plummeted 11 places, putting it even lower than South Korea, at #72.
Clearly, Diving Bell is now in the unenviable position of being the Korean bellwether of that most insidious journalistic trend, press “self- censorship,” as well as the issue of film festival censorship, either from within or without.
As one FCCJ member reminded the audience, just weeks ago, the Tribeca Film Festival in New York was forced to pull the film Vaxxed: From Cover-Up to Catastrophe, due to a public outcry over its “discredited” claims that MMR vaccines cause autism. Festival head Robert De Niro, the father of an autistic son, criticized the uproar that forced the film from the lineup.

As for the city’s pressure to withdraw Diving Bell from the BIFF 2014 lineup, director Hae-ryong Ahn said he came to realize “It was not really the content of the film itself that was a problem. The issue was not the safety of the people of Korea but the safety of the government, and that’s what motivated the effort to quash the film.” But he also admitted feeling that “I was the cause of the problems that the festival is facing now, and I feel responsible for that.”
The BIFF controversy did have the unintended effect of boosting the film’s public profile. Producer Hei-rim Hwang explained, “The film did not get distributed in the major multiplexes, but it was shown [in limited screenings] in 25 smaller theaters and community halls, with attendance topping 50,000. Considering the limited release, this was quite good. Also there was good word-of-mouth, and we had Q&A sessions with the families of the victims. Most people came thinking they would see what they’d already seen on mainstream media, but they realized it was only one side of the story. What we were trying to do was ask ‘Why not listen to the other side of the story as well?’ We’re not saying that this is the truth, but that there is another side to the story. We wanted to open the door to a debate about what really happened.”
The BIFF controversy brought far wider recognition to the film.©Koichi Mori
Diving Bell follows investigative journalist Lee Sang-ho (a charismatic, Michael Moore-style truth-seeker) as he rushes to the coast of Donggeochado on April 16, 2014, shortly after the Sewol has sunk. To his dismay, he discovers he is one of the few reporters on site, and that the rescue work by Korea’s Coast Guard has stalled. The failure to save a single passenger during the “golden time” of the first 72 hours, when it is critical to reach and rescue trapped victims, is blamed on strong currents and poor visibility. Yet when news reports begin airing, they claim that all 476 passengers have been safely rescued. Lee stays on site as the tragedy unfolds over the ensuing weeks, talking with grieving parents and witnessing the government’s failure to organize a competent search-and-rescue operation. But it is the vilification of one potential hero, Lee Jong-in, who brings a diving bell at his own expense, knowing that it could greatly hasten the discovery process, which gives the film its reverberating bite.
The you-are-there immediacy of Diving Bell still feels bruising, two years after the event. Like many a story whose ending we already know, it unfolds like a nail-biting thriller, with unforeseen twists and turns that are so improbable, they can only be true. Winner of the Grand Prix at the 2015 Fukuoka Asian Film Festival, the documentary offers a dramatic eyewitness vision of the horrifically botched rescue effort, the unresolved controversies over the diving bell, and the still-ongoing media distortion that cloaked the realities of the event. In the film’s final moments, journalist Lee Sang-ho talks with a grieving father who blames himself for his son’s death aboard the Sewol. “What do you want?” he asks. “People deserve the truth,” sobs the father.
Ahn joined audience members after the screening, and there was spirited discussion.©Koichi Mori
Is there renewed hope about the truth following the April 13 elections, in which South Korean President Geun-hye Park’s party was stripped of its majority in Parliament? “The election has already changed things,” said Ahn. “There was even an article in [a conservative newspaper] saying that film is entertainment, and politicians shouldn’t get involved in [censorship attempts.] It’s possible that this will allow the media to be more aggressive in their reporting about the powers that be. In Busan itself, five opposition-party members were elected, and this may cause a shift in the overall thrust of the city government.”
Other documentarians have been doing follow-up research and filming on the Sewol, and perhaps, just perhaps, BIFF 2016 will include one of the sequels in its lineup.
