SF CHRP (San Francisco Committee for Human Rights in the Philippines) is a San Francisco based human rights advocacy group. Latest news and views on human rights in the Philippines.
Reference: Rupert Estanislao, chair
On International Human Rights Day, on December 10th, a delegation comprising of representatives from Bayan-USA, Bayan-Northern California, Gabriela-USA, babae-San Francisco, Anakbayan-USA, and the San Francisco Committee for Human Rights in the Philippines (SF CHRP) meet with Deputy Consul General Ramon T. Ascalon at the Philippine Consulate in San Francisco, CA.
The concerned delegation gave to Consul Ascalon a letter from the sister of Daguil Capion, Erita Capion, that was addressed to President Noynoy Aquino over the anguish she felt over the death of her sister-in-law and two nephews and expressed concern that Aquino was not doing enough to root out the culture of impunity that is pervasive within the Armed Forces of the Philippines and which led to the massacre of the Capion family in South Cotabato. The delegation also gave Consul Ascalon a list of demands in regards to the massacre of the Capion family by troops of the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP).
“The delegation was able to meet with Consul Ascalon for a good 45-minutes and convey our deep sense of concern over the ever worsening human rights crisis in the Philippines,” said SF CHRP chair Rupert Estanislao. “Specifically, the delegate from SF CHRP was able to address to Consul Ascalon the way in which multinational mining corporations have contributed to the ever worsening human rights situation by the way in which they operate. Instead of heeding to the concerns of local communities multinational mining corporations ride roughshod over their concerns and use the AFP and local government backed militias and security agencies to harass, intimidate, and coerce people out of their homes. In the case of the Capion family these type of practices lead to their massacre by AFP soldiers.”
Delegates from babae-San Francisco and Gabriela-USA also expressed their concern over the militarization of the Philippines and its direct contribution in the increase of violence against women by military personnel, militias, and even U.S. military forces. With the counter-insurgency program Oplan Bayanihan, units from the AFP directly target local communities in the countryside and allows AFP units to directly set-up camp within sitios and barangays across the Philippines which further puts the lives of women at risk through harassment, intimidation, rape, abduction, and death.
The delegate from Anakbayan-USA also conveyed concerns over Oplan Bayanihan and the role the AFP and Philippine National Police (PNP) play in the violation of the rights of children and youth within the communities they camp out in. In a policy that is, in form and essence, nationally set and coordinated, troops from the AFP and PNP routinely use schools (either partially or wholly) as their base of operations, displacing students and intimidating families in direct violation of International Humanitarian Law.
Soldiers also use this as an opportunity to accuse specific national democratic youth and student groups, such as Anakbayan, as being “fronts” of the Communist Party of the Philippines (CPP) and “recruiters” of the New Peoples’ Army (NPA), directly placing the lives of these community youth organizers at risk for illegal detention, abduction, and assassination from state and military agents.
“Our demands were simple: that the president of the Philippines move towards a more comprehensive goal in creating an atmosphere, in word and deed, in where human rights are respected and are at the forefront of his administration,” said Estanislao. “However, Aquino’s words have so far rung hollow especially in the recent promotions of known human rights abusers within the AFP, his dismissing of human rights concerns as ‘leftist propaganda,’ his inclusion of number one human rights abusers AFP and PNP within an interagency ‘human rights’ body, and his complete silence and lack of concern over the massacre of the Capion family by his own troops.”
“We also handed a list of demands from our organization and the Portland and New York Committee for Human Rights in the Philippines concerning the multinational mining company Xstrata-SMI and the AFP’s massacre of the Capion family,” continued Estanislao. “We are asking that President Aquino expel Xstrata-SMI from the Philippines for its continual abuse of Philippine nationals and for using deplorable tactics in trying to drive the B’laan indigenous people from their ancestral land for nothing more than bottom-line profit motives. We also put it to Aquino to finally change his past practices of coddling AFP human rights abusers and prosecute all soldiers involved in the massacre as well as key commanders within the 27th Infantry Battalion responsible for ‘counter-insurgency’ operations within South Catabato where the massacre took place.”
When meet with the concerns over Xstrata-SMI Consul Ascalon, without directly addressing these concerns, expressed his own concern to our delegation that we not “paint” all multinational corporations “with the same brush” and seemed to instead push the perspective that multinational corporations, whether mining, gas, oil, or other, were actually good for the people of the Philippines and for economic development.
“Our concern as a delegation was not whether multinational corporations were ‘good’ or ‘bad’ for the Philippines but that those multinational corporations, such as Xstrata-SMI, continue to ignore the concerns of everyday Filipinos and have a track record of being involved in some hideous human rights abuses,” explained Estanislao. “This is especially true when it comes to mining. Wherever multinational mining corporations set up shop in the Philippines, either in Palawan, Mankayan, Compostella Valley, or Cotabato, an increase in militarization and human rights violations seem to go hand in hand.”
SF CHRP is asking that the Philippine Consulate in San Francisco takes the concerns of local Filipino Americans and Filipino immigrants seriously and continues to engage with SF CHRP in tackling the dreadful human rights situation in the Philippines. We are also demanding that Aquino prosecute human rights violators within the Philippines and to stop dismissing the concerns of human rights organizers as “leftist propaganda” and that Xstrata-SMI and the 27th Infantry Battalion be held responsible for the massacre of the Capion family.

THE PRESIDENT: Hello, everyone. How are you? I want to thank Administrator Guzman, who’s running the show for us. And we’re really starting to move here.
And the Vice President, thank you —
THE VICE PRESIDENT: Of course.
THE PRESIDENT: — for your focus on small business.
We’re pushing lenders to raise their game and provide more help to small — many small businesses. As you know, particularly Hispanic, as well as African American small businesses are just out of business because they got bypassed the first time around.
Today, I’m proud to sign the extension, which I’m going to do in a second, of the Paycheck Protection Program. It is a bipartisan accomplishment.
Nearly 90,000 business owners are still in line, and there’s money left. Without somebody signing this bill today, there are hundreds of thousands of people who could lose their jobs, and small and family businesses that might close forever. And, as you know, small business is the backbone of our economy, representing almost 50 percent of all the employees in America.
And I want to thank Senators Cardin, Shaheen, Rubio, and Collins for their work in the Senate — it was a bipartisan effort — and Young Kim and Velazquez, as well as Luetkemeyer for their work in the House to make sure this happened.
And in the last two months, we’ve approved forgivable loans for three thousand — excuse me, three million six hundred [sic] small businesses — -six hundred thousand small businesses. And three million three hundred [thousand] of those small businesses were less than — higher — had fewer than 20 employees, which is the backbone of most of the communities.
So with that, I’m going to sign this. And thank you all for coming.
(The bill is signed.)
Thanks, folks. Enjoy yourselves.

Our statement on the government’s health and social care announcementSeptember 8, 2021
Paul Edwards, Director of Clinical Services for Dementia UK, comments:
“Whilst the focus on how social care is funded is important, we require further clarity on what the care and support system should look like to allow people with dementia and their families to live with comfort and dignity.
“Care services and families need immediate funding and support. The health and social care systems should be working together so that no person with dementia is unnecessarily admitted into care or hospital; this brings distress to the wider family and pressures on the already overworked health and social care staff.
“We need a health and social care system which works for every family with dementia. Publication of the White Paper outlining how this integration is to be achieved needs to be brought forward at the earliest opportunity.”

Minister for Agriculture Simon Coveney has said that a recent survey carried out in Wicklow that found wild deer were carrying TB does not mean that deer nationwide are carrying the disease.
The pilot study, carried out by the Department of Agriculture, found that 16% of deer in the Calary area were carrying the disease.
The study saw 103 deer shot by a deer hunter and the carcases analysed. Of the 103 deer shot, 16 were found to be carrying M.bovis, which is one of the main causes in the spread of TB to cattle.
However, speaking in the Dail yesterday, Minister Coveney said that there was no evidence to suggest that deer are spreading the disease nationwide.
“An examination of 17 wild deer in north Sligo, similar to the one carried out in Wicklow, found no evidence of infection with TB, although a small number of positive deer have been detected in isolated instances in different parts of the country.”
“There is no suggestion or evidence from the study to “support any claim that these findings would be replicated in other areas.” he continued.
The recent findings in Wicklow were passed on to the Irish Deer Management Forum and the Department of Agriculture is currently awaiting its recommendations.

AMD launched the Radeon RX 7600 graphics card
Following NVIDIA’s unveiling of its entry-level GeForce RTX 4060 series of graphics cards, AMD has reciprocated with the announcement of its economically priced Radeon RX 7600, both targeting the market demand for smooth gaming experiences at 1080P resolution and 60 frames per second.
Crafted around the RDNA 3 display architecture, the Radeon RX 7600 is equipped with 32 Compute Units (CUs), integrating a 32MB Infinity Cache design. It also comes with 8GB of GDDR6 display memory supporting a data transfer rate of 18Gbps. The device employs a dual-fan cooling system with a length of 20.4 centimeters, and it has a thermal design power of 165W.
AMD boasts that the display performance of the Radeon RX 7600 is comparable to that of NVIDIA’s GeForce RTX 3060 but with a lower price point and power consumption. It supports a stable gaming experience at 1080P resolution and 60 frames per second. Through FSR technology, it can also deliver performance at over 60 frames per second at 1440P resolution. Additionally, it supports the new generation of AV1 video encoding and decoding, making it compatible with a variety of streaming video content.
Furthermore, AMD emphasizes that the Radeon RX 7600 will effortlessly support the soon-to-be-released “Diablo IV” in early June, providing a cost-effective user experience.
The Radeon RX 7600 is slated for official release on May 25th, with the recommended retail price starting at $269 depending on the product pricing set by OEM providers. As NVIDIA’s GeForce RTX 4060 will not enter the market until July, and with a price set at $299, AMD is positioning the Radeon RX 7600 as a more attractive option.

The government appears to be preparing to drive a hard bargain in its triennial negotiation with Microsoft over software licensing terms for New Zealand’s public-sector agencies.
Much has changed in the economic environment, government administration and technology since the previous agreement was negotiated in 2005-6, says the State Services Commission (SSC).
“The most significant factor is the global economic crisis and its impact on the New Zealand government’s fiscal outlook,” says a commission spokesperson.
“Other factors are the emphasis on value for money in the State Services Commission’s Development Goals for the State Services and a range of technology trends, such as desktop virtualisation and cloud computing.”
Last week, the commission announced that it is preparing to lead the next round of discussions, towards a contract to be known as the G2009 Framework Agreement. The SSC has established a steering committee comprised of senior executives from a range of public sector agencies to provide it with “high-level advice”.
Virtualisation is well known for complicating the matter of licensing, since it is difficult to keep track of the number of virtual servers that may be using instances of the same software.
The SSC says its research indicates that “Microsoft software will continue to be important for public sector agencies over the next three years”, but says it does not have any figures on whether the proportion of public-sector software provided by Microsoft is growing or diminishing.
The current G2006 Framework Agreement expires in June 2009.
Technology lawyer Guy Burgess, of Auckland firm Clendons, says several things have changed in the last three years that could change the tenor of the negotiations. He says Open Office is now a very viable alternative to Microsoft Office, especially since Microsoft opened its file formats this year.
“Absolutely, that give the government better bargaining power,” he says.
He says virtualisation is bound to be another area of focus as per processor licensing becomes less appropriate in a virtual world and when even basic PC will run more than one processor.
Technology industry veteran and XSol chief John Blackham also references the changed economic situation as a factor and points to a “flurry” of public sector departures from Microsoft into more open platforms since the last agreement was concluded.
On the other hand, he says, Microsoft’s products have become stronger over the past few years, with a more coordinated strategy evident among its components and platforms and a slightly more open attitude. He points particularly to initiatives around Sharepoint.
Attention is switching to the component approach to ICT, where Microsoft leads, Blackham says; so the company may be able to push back strongly against any government attempt to drive a hard bargain.
The triennial agreement applies to all public sector agencies, including central and local government, with the exception of schools and tertiary education institutes. These have separate agreements with Microsoft.
Being a party to the agreement does not commit an agency to buying any Microsoft licences, the SSC emphasises.

Democracy, the Environment, and the Internet
MetadataShow full item record
Democratic theory and practice underwent something of a renaissance in the late twentieth century. The spread of liberal democratic political systems was accompanied by two other trends that have the potential to transform the shape of politics: the rise of environmental movements and increased public use of the Internet. These changes have generated two theoretical variations on the theme: ecological and digital democracy. This paper reviews these two schools of thought and considers the possibility of a synthesis between them.

A 61-year-old Elbert County man who shot his granddaughter and two other women in a dispute over land before turning a gun on himself died early Friday at an Anderson, S.C., hospital, authorities said.
Donnie Williams Jr. of Dewy Rose shot himself in the head Thursday afternoon after he was confronted by deputies, Elbert County Sheriff Melvin Andrews said. Williams was airlifted to the hospital, where he died about 2 a.m.
Williams shot his 22-year-old granddaughter, Jacklyn Carann Stacks, 22, along with Stacks' mother, Veronica Woodall, 45, and Marian Bing, 46, at the women's home at 1650 Middleton Church Road about eight miles southeast of Elberton.
Stacks, who received a gunshot wound to the arm, was treated and released from the Anderson hospital, while a condition was unavailable on Woodall, who was airlifted to the hospital. Bing was airlifted to the Medical College of Georgia in Augusta, where a hospital spokesman said Friday that her condition was unavailable.
The women were shot shortly after noon Thursday by Williams, who was armed with a .308-caliber pistol, Andrews said.
"He pulled it out after they started arguing," Andrews said. "Williams had signed over six acres of land to the granddaughter and he wanted it back. This has been an ongoing argument for the last several months."
Stacks' boyfriend, David Bing, was a witness to the argument and shooting, said Andrews, who added that Bing's mother was one of the shooting victims.
"After Williams emptied the gun, the boyfriend chased him out. They went to the truck and got into a scuffle and Williams retrieved another handgun and when the witness saw it, he ran back to the house. Williams fired two shots at him, but he wasn't struck," the sheriff said.
After deputies responded to the crime scene and learned the suspect's name, they went to his home north of Elberton on Calhoun Road, but he wasn't there, Andrews said. Deputies then received information that Williams' white Dodge pickup was seen nearby on Cromer Road.
After deputies arrived and found the abandoned truck, they called for a helicopter and tracking dogs to help find the suspect, Andrews said. However, a deputy spotted Williams and ordered him to drop his gun.
Williams, who was now armed with a .357-caliber pistol, shot himself in the head, the sheriff said.
Sheriff's investigators are still working on the case and will present the findings to the district attorney, Andrews said.

Scientists claim they have found an experimental drug that turns “bad” white fat cells into “good” brown ones.
Known as GC-1, the drug speeds up metabolism, or the burning off of fat cells, reports Science Daily. Researchers found it caused weight loss in fat mice.
“GC-1 dramatically increases the metabolic rate, essentially converting white fat, which stores excess calories and is associated with obesity and metabolic disease, into a fat like calorie-burning brown fat,” said study author Kevin Phillips of the Houston Methodist Research Institute.
Until recently, scientists thought only animals and human infants had these energy-burning “good” brown-fat cells.
“It is now clear that human adults do have brown fat, but appear to lose its calorie-burning activity over time,” Phillips added.
He calls white fat a “metabolic villain” when you have too much of it, whereas people with more brown fat have a reduced risk of obesity and diabetes.
GC-1 works by activating receptors for the thyroid hormone, which help regulate how your body turns food into energy.
Phillips’ team tested the drug on hundreds of mice who were genetically obese or who had diet-induced obesity. They found genetically obese mice lost weight and nearly 50% of their fat mass in two weeks. Diet-induced obese mice also showed improvements.
The drug was also tested on white fat cells grown in a lab, and researchers say they found evidence that the drug turned white fat into the brown variety.
Phillips hopes the drug, which has not yet been tested on humans, has the potential to treat obesity and metabolic disease.
The results of the study will be presented at the Endocrine Society’s 97th annual meeting in San Diego on Friday.

An update from Mark von Schellwitz, Vice-President Western Canada, Restaurants Canada
As many are aware through media reports, the BC government announced a provincial State of Emergency until September 4th, restricting travel for the purpose of staying in temporary accommodation in several Okanagan communities to deal with the wildfires to help ensure accommodation is available for critical-response personnel.
The government also issued the following Emergency Support Services Release providing information to support evacuees who require Emergency Support Services (EES), such as accommodation, food, clothing and other incidentals. Those requiring emergency assistance are asked to register with EES online at https://emergency.rdos.bc.ca/ess to access those supports. Additional information is also available on the Public Emergency Preparation and Recovery website. As far as compensation for damage caused by the wildfires, more information will become available after the immediate threat is over and damage can be assessed.
There are some additional tools available to help businesses impacted by emergencies.

Huehuetenango is located within region 7 or Northwest, along the ridges of the Sierra de Los Cuchamatanes, the highest mountain chain of Central America, with altitudes that reach up to 4000 m.
Huehuetenango is one of the country’s largest departments of Guatemala, and has the largest amount of municipal districts in the country, 32. It´s capital, Huehuetenango City, is 269 kilometer from Guatemala City.
Due to its size and varying altitudes, it has a varying climate that ranges from deep cold to hot and humid. Several rivers originate here like the rivers Selegua, Cuilco, Chixoy and Salinas.
A large number of its inhabitants are of Mayan descent, mainly Mam, although they share the territory with Chuje, Kanjobal and Jacalteca, which is why many dialects are spoken along the territory: mam, q’anjob’al, chuj, popti’, chalchiteko, awakateko, akateko, tektiteko, k’iche’ and Spanish
The main difference among the people of the 32 municipal lies in how they dress. People are generally farmers, shepherds or artisans who manufacture textiles, guitars, fireworks, pottery and baskets, and sugar cane. Their main religion is the ancient Mayan religion and with some Christian elements.
During the Classic period (250-900 A.D.), Huehuetenango was part of the Mam Kingdom, which ruled most of the western highlands until the Quichés forced them out in 1525. This region has a background of liberalism and rebellion. It proclaimed its independence before it became an official matter, took part in the 1870 uprisings and contributed to the dictatorship of then president Manuel Estrada Cabrera
Places to visit in Huehuetenango:
City of Huehuetenango
The city is situated at the base of the Cuchumatanes Mountains, at 1902 m altitude and 90 km (2 h) from Quetzaltenango and 266 km (5 h) from Guatemala City. It is the closest town to La Mesilla - borderline checkpoint between Mexico and Guatemala. Huehuetenango’s population is primarily a crossbreed or mestizo. The most important place is the central park, which is surrounded by the City Hall buildings, the colonial church and several neo-classical buildings. At the plaza one can find a relief map of the whole department, which measures almost 30 sq. m.
This archaeological site is located 5 min away from Huehuetenango city. Zaculeu means White Land, and it used to be the capital city of the Mam Kingdom. It consists of a series of plazas, stepped pyramids, temples and the ballgame court. Today we know that this once flourishing Maya town kept close commercial contact with Nebaj and Kaminal Juyú. Its artisans used to carve small Jade figurines.
After the downfall of Tecún Umán in Quetzaltenango, Pedro de Alvarado sent his brother Gonzalo to calm the war wishes of the posts for 4 months, until which time they surrendered. Unlike other sites in Petén, buildings here are low, flat, without any relieves or decorations. There is a small museum where pottery pieces and skeletal remains are shown. It is open from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.
This pilgrimage center is located about 8 km (10 min) from Huehuetenango. A beautiful silver statue of the Candelaria Virgin dressed in fine filigree can be found in its church. This virgin effigy was made between 1560 and 1580. The church itself dates back to the beginning of the 17th century. People also visit the town to witness it´s live presentations of the passion of Christ during Passover.
You can find several handicraft shops selling and manufacturing copper objects. It is one of the few places in Guatemala where bronze handicraft is made
Juan Diéguez Olaverri Mirador
12 km from Chiantla, taking the 9N highway, you will find this beautiful spot and understand why the poet Juan Diéguez Olaverri got his inspiration here. His verses are actually carved into stones in the surroundings.
On a clear and sunny day one can see the farthest peaks of the mountain range as well as the Tacaná, Tajumulco, Santa María, Atitlán and other volcanoes.
Origin of the San Juan River
The river is born in Aguacatán, 24 km from Huehuetenango, at the base of the Cuchumatanes Mounts and goes through several other municipal districts. It has extremely cold water and has several facilities for recreational activities.
San Mateo Ixtatán
Since the pre-Hispanic period, this Chuj village is an important commercial center due to its salt mines. Locals worship nature and consider the sun as their father and the Moon as their mother. This is why the huipiles worn by women have red solar figures embroidered on the fabric.
Todos Santos Cuchumatan
This Maya-Mam village sits on top of the Cuchumatanes range, 50 km from Huehuetenango. Its inhabitants still use the 260-day Mayan calendar.
The local fair is held from October 23 to November 3rd. This is a very special celebration and among the main events are the horse races where the participants wear colorful ribbons.
The celebration begins with a ceremony at the cemetery, where the elders and the cofrades or brotherhood leaders invoke the souls of the dead. On October 31st, they serenade their loved ones who have passed away, offering them food and flowers. That same evening, horsemen prepare for the “Skack Koyl” (wild horse race), dancing and drinking alcoholic beverages. The competition takes place on November 1st, when some of the horsemen literally fall from their horses. The feast is followed by the music and the staging of the Danza de la Conquista dance. On November 2, day of the dead, they say farewell to their ancestors.
Here the visitor can acquire fabrics woven by the town’s women.
Capital of the municipal district of San Pedro Soloma. It is 60 km from Huehuetenango and 330 km from the city of Guatemala. According to historians, Soloma was founded around 1559 by order of Alonso Zurita, then Judge of the Royal Court (Oidor de la Real Audiencia). Four Mayan settlements were united into a bigger one.
The town’s name comes from the Q’anjobal word TZ’ULUMA’ which means “Tree that grows abundantly at the edge of the water”. Soloma used to be a swampy area where a lot of lagoons were found. The Chuj settled here on an ancient lake. This is the reason why some experts say that Soloma means “Water Head”, derived from the expressions Solom = Head and a = water, also from the Q’anjobal language.
Women wear pristine-white huipiles with colorful circular motifs embroidered on the fabric. The headpiece is a white cloth with the same embroidery that according to their beliefs keeps them from evil.
At the Huehuetenango department, you can also find other touristic attractions, such as The Blue River (Río Azul) located at the Huista region, the Magdalena and Yolnabaj lagoons at Nentón; as well as the Cuchumatanes mountain range.
Just as it has as a linguistic wealth, Huehuetenango also has a variety of regional costumes, where the ones from Colotenengo, Ixtahuacán and Santiago Chimaltenango are considered to be among the prettier, for the women, and those from Todos Santos Cuchumatán and San Juan Atitán, for the men.
At the market place of these towns people can acquire huipiles, wraps (fajas), skirts (cortes), shirts, haversacks (morrales) and napkins.
The 32 municipal districts are:
- La Democracia
- La Libertad
- San Mateo Ixtatan
- San Pedro Necta
- Todos Santos Cuchumatan
- Santa Eulalia

Jayalalithaa compensates people 'dying over her'
Former Tamil Nadu CM expresses concern over the death of 193 people due to various reasons, including suicide, apparently upset over her jail term in an illegal assets case. 'I will come out triumphant crossing all challenges,' she says.Updated: Oct 25, 2014 15:08 IST
Former Tamil Nadu chief minister J Jayalalithaa has again appealed to her supporters not to take extreme steps in the wake of her sentencing in a graft case, reassuring them she will overcome the latest legal challenge.
Last week, the All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (AIADMK) had expressed concern over the death of 193 people due to various reasons including suicide, apparently upset over her jail term in an illegal assets case.
Since her statement on October 19, after coming out on bail, 26 more people have died, according to a list released by the AIADMK headquarters.
Extreme reactions over the death or troubles of political leaders are not new in Tamil Nadu and similar drastic expression of grief has been known to erupt in neighbouring Andhra Pradesh as well.
"I am confident that I will come out triumphant crossing all challenges" with divine help, Jayalalithaa said in a statement on Saturday.
"Therefore, I kindly request the people of Tamil Nadu not to resort to such extreme measures," she added and announced a relief of Rs 3 lakh each to the families of the deceased on behalf of her party.
Earlier, she had announced the same amount as relief for the families of 193 persons identified as having died due to her conviction and sentencing.
The former CM was sentenced to four years in jail in a Rs 66.65-crore disproportionate assets case by a Bangalore special court on September 27. The court also imposed a fine of Rs 100 crore on her.
She was granted bail by the Supreme Court on October 17 and returned home the next day.
Jayalalithaa has compared her "present situation" to "swimming in a sea of inferno".

Jan was the middle sister in the 1970s TV show The Brady Bunch. The Brady’s themselves were the all too perfect, astroturf loving, all American happy family, and the adventures of the six siblings drove the show’s moral storylines. Middle sister Jan was the one coping with the glasses and the braces, Jan was the one with the invented boyfriend and the insecurities, and Jan was the only one who managed to throw some shade on the sunny Brady life.
Forever compared to her perfect older sister Marcia, Jan was instead teased about her glasses, not given full credit for her ideas, and even toyed with the ideas of re-invention, something Marcia would never do, because she was perfect already. Jan was the square peg in the round hole, the rebel Brady, the crack in the veneer, and quietly and perhaps unintentionally, Jan became a sort of counter cultural cipher. With her fallibility, Jan the under-dog in her own clumsy Brady way, somehow came to symbolise the revolution.
Fast forward to 1988, and Jan fan, Erin Smith, along with her brother Don, wrote and published the fanzine Teenage Gang Debs. The fanzine was dedicated to 1970s TV culture along with articles about more contemporary independent bands. TGDs style was very reminiscent of the early Punk fanzines, using cut up illustrations, Letraset, and typewriting, which was then and Xeroxed and stapled. Erin wrote articles dissecting Jan’s role in the Brady episodes and towards the back of one of our own pgd copies, there lurks an interview with the Lunachicks who had themselves just released a song titled “Jan Brady”.
TGD – How did you write the classic “Jan Brady”?
Theo – I was sitting in health class in High School, and I had the Jan Brady hairstyle, and I just said “ I am Jan Brady”.
After 5 issues of TGDs, Erin together with fellow zinesters Allison Wolfe and Molly Neuman formed the band Bratmobile who were there for the great Riot Grrrl charge of 1994. Riot Grrrl was not Brady, but it was, somehow Jan.
Jan is no longer the silent and forgotten Brady, and 40 years since the original series aired, the cult of Jan continues. Jan was portrayed in a more exaggerated fashion in the 1990s Brady Bunch movie. The excellent Jennifer Elise Cox took inspiration from Jan’s original character played by actress Eve Plumb, but played her in the way we always wanted her to be; more feisty, more “positively goofy”, more sulky, more questioning, more singular and a bit more of a rebel. We are all Jan Brady now.

A boy from a small town in a rural Texas county leaving for Nashville and advancing to the Top 20 in American Idol may seem like the stuff of dreams. But that’s exactly what Celeste-native Josh Holiday, formerly known as Josh Wright, has done.
“He’s always wanted to perform music,” he mother, Christy Perry said. “His passion is to be a gospel music artist, with a mix of pop and soul.”
But while Josh has proved through the last few weeks that he deserves to be in the Top 20, he auditioned for the reality television show by chance.
“He ran into some of his friends in Nashville who was going to audition at Bowling Green University, and decided on the spur of the moment to hop in the car with them,” Christy said.
Holiday made it through rounds in Chicago and Hollywood, although not without bumps along the way. While performing in a solo round in Los Angeles, he split his pants, but calmly finished his song.
“I’m happy with the way he acted when his pants split, because he handled it with composure and class,” Christy said. “My first thought as his mom was ‘Oh my gosh, I need to go buy him a new pair of pants right now.’”
Josh was raised in Celeste with his two younger brothers, Justin and Jordan. He graduated in 2006 as the valedictorian of Celeste High School and attended Belmont University in Tennessee, where he graduated in 2010 with a degree in music. He was working as a vocal coach and a caregiver when he was selected for American Idol.
Josh’s life has had its dark moments, however. When he was 17 his father, Richard, passed away. Josh recorded a song that Christy played for Richard over and over while he was in the hospital battling cancer, a song he later played at Richard’s funeral. Father and son shared a similar passion for music.
“His dad was a big influence in his life,” Christy said. “Richard was a self-taught musician, and they would play guitar and sing southern gospel music together.”
There are still challenges that Josh will need to overcome if he hopes to be the next American Idol, but his journey so far has been well-timed, according to Christy.
“He just seems so calm about wanting God’s will in his life,” she said. “I think he’s ready if it happens to him- he’s on the right page. He told me ‘Mama, if I succeed, I want to give back.’ I really think that this is a blessing in his life.”
A win for Josh would put Celeste on the map, according to Christy, a town that is a “great community to raise your children in.” Watching Josh on television has been a lot of fun for Christy and his grandmother, Jane Baldwin, and they’ve been able to support him in Chicago, L.A. and will be leaving soon for Las Vegas.
“I’m very excited for my son,” Christy said. “His brothers are so happy. I’m blessed to have him as my son.”

Nine species of owl from around the world are included on this print. All are beautifully hand-drawn and painted with watercolours in muted, natural tones. The name of each species is given in the key at the bottom of the print, giving a nod to the traditional i.d. guides and natural history illustrations I have always loved. While the white background and layout of the birds ensure this print will not look out of place in a more modern home.
This print makes a beautiful gift for wildlife-lovers of any age.
The print is available as A4 or A3 with framing available on the smaller size. The oak finished wooden frame is produced in the UK. The print will be framed without a mount as shown in the above photos.
This is a digital print reproduced with archival inks on 210gsm matte paper. Archival inks and paper ensure your print will not fade over time.

My take on all this, for whatever's worth...
The study results released today were really not surprising from a blinded study of CCSVI. The results previously found (upwards of 95% correlation between CCSVI and MS) were from completely unblinded studies, meaning that the researchers conducting the studies as well as the technicians doing imaging were aware of which subjects had MS and which didn't. Though I don't think any intentional bias was present, unintentional bias could very well have played a part, and results such as those reported are the very reason that scientific scrutiny demands blinded studies.
I find the results of the buffalo study very encouraging. They discovered a 2:1 ratio of CCSVI found in MS patients vs. healthy subjects. This is a very significant finding, and only seems dim in comparison to the hard to fathom universal correlation that was previously reported. The high level of MS misdiagnosis alone cast immediate doubt on such high figures of correlation, and led many researchers (such as those at the NIH) to look at Zamboni's reports with skepticism. These new numbers should lend some scientific credibility to CCSVI theory, and I think they'll spark further interest from the "mainstream" research community.
As for the rather high level of CCSVI found in healthy subjects, the reason for this is most likely that CNS venous anatomy has very rarely been studied in depth. There is no actual definition of what "normal" looks like in venous anatomy, unlike that of arterial anatomy, which has been scrutinized for decades.
Venous anatomy varies widely from patient to patient, and even within an individual patient. Very often, the venous structure in individual patients is different in their left and right appendages. This normally is not true of arterial anatomy, which shows much greater conformity.
What the buffalo study suggests is that CCSVI is a component of the wider MS picture, not the panacea that we'd hoped for. What we call multiple sclerosis is most likely a collection of several different diseases that share some common symptoms and markers. This explains the heterogeneity seem from patient to patient, as well as the difference in efficacy levels of current MS therapies from patient to patient. There is very likely a subset for whom CCSVI is THE single most important factor in their disease etiology. There is also very likely a cohort for whom CCSVI plays no role at all. That said, it's vital that CCSVI research continues vigorously and expeditiously.
Of course, we are only at the very beginning of research into an area that has been largely unexplored. I'm sure that many more surprises await.
For those of you who would like to read more of my blather, I'd posted a rather long article on the buffalo results in my blog:
http://www.wheelchairkamikaze.com/2010/ ... ealed.html
I hope my words have not upset anybody here, as that certainly is not my intention. One of the hard life lessons I've learned through the years is that when something seems too good to be true, it probably is. It sucks, but it is what it is...

*Design for the visitor and optimize for the search engines*
When your visitors get stuck so will the search engines… they need to get to more content quickly. So when creating content for your website – focus on both “web design”:https://www.rankbydesign.com/seo-strategy.htm and optimization pages at the same time.
*Optimized, related, internal links*
Provide optimized, related, “internal links”:https://www.rankbydesign.com/analyze-anchor-text.htm that lead to more info. Not only is this good for the search engines – but they provide a path for your customer to find more about your products and services.
*Optimize the page structure*
Make sure your pages are as clear as possible and well structured with “optimized headings”:https://www.rankbydesign.com/optimizing-header-tags.htm. Again, develop your web pages for both the search engines and your visitors.

Community Over Capital
When Affordable Housing is Under Attack? What do you do? RISE UP! FIGHT BACK!
When Community Spaces are Under Attack? What do you do? RISE UP! FIGHT BACK!
Please click “Community Over Capital” for more info.
What does community over capital seek to accomplish?
– to turn the 10th and Union Warehouse into a community center
– to end gentrification enabling corrupt tax give aways to developers (Multi-Family Tax Exemption Program)
– to create housing for people not for profit
– to discuss how the landscape of our cities can be organized so that we are more connected to each other
– to make decisions regarding the way we want OUR space to be developed
The Community Over Capital working group continues the revolutionary spirit of the 10th and Union Warehouse Occupation wherein 16 activists, the UCC 16, were arrested. In the face of the recent slew of closures and cuts to libraries, community centers, and other public spaces, we sought to restore the warehouse, formerly the site of the Union Cultural Center, to its use as a “supportive educational space for teaching, sharing and creating vibrant culture.”
Upon more research we discovered that the high-end apartments replacing our beloved warehouse would be a part of the corrupt Multi-Family Tax Exemption Program. According to the Multi-Family Tax Exemption Plan, developers will be exempt from paying property taxes for 12 years if 20% of their units are set aside as “affordable” at rents between $1000-1600/month. The “affordable” units are only accessible to tenants who make 65-85% of the Seattle Median Income, for whom a surplus of housing already exists on the market. Under this program, approximately 25 developers in the past year have received 75 million dollars in tax breaks for absolutely no public benefit. Since 2004, a handful of developers have received approximately 140 million dollars in tax breaks for absolutely no public benefit. The money developers make helps put City Council Members back in office guaranteeing the vicious cycle of “building capital” and “destroying community” continues.
City Council wants to upzone more neighborhoods, wipe out our open space, pour concrete over urban streams, and tear down existing LOW INCOME HOUSING. These extremely accelerated rates of growth, have served only to drive up the cost of housing and cause more poverty, displacement, and homelessness in our city. This can only be a case of the disease we
all know as gentrification which hits working class people and people of color the hardest. Soon our city will no longer be a place where people can gather and build communities; rather, it will be a graveyard whose tombstones are empty condos and luxury apartments.

August is a new age piano solo, composed by Sarah Reaser O’Brien NCTM, for intermediate and late intermediate pianists. The pedagogical focus of this selection is small hand accessibility. The waltz-time setting and straight eighths are ideal for helping players achieve a fluid technique and a sense of forward motion. The melodic content is “hidden” within the right hand eighths and gives ample opportunity for developing sophisticated voicing.
Introspection, composed by Rick Robertson is an intermediate level ambient solo with a mature sound. An opening lyrical, chordal section contrasts with a middle section featuring displaced accents. It also gives the performer an opportunity to experience the key of E-flat minor in a less intimidating setting.
Songs I Love to Play: Volume 2
Songs I Love to Play Volume 2 features fun and motivating solos for early intermediates of all ages. Recital ready arrangements of popular themes and original compositions by Piano Pronto author Jennifer Eklund. This book contains selections for the NFMC Festivals Bulletin, 2020-2024.

PETALING JAYA: Police are hunting down one more member of a robbery gang that had terrorised people in the Kota Damansara area.
“A patrol car on crime prevention duties in Kota Damansara on March 7 spotted a car that was being driven around suspiciously. When the patrol team instructed the car to stop, the driver sped off. A chase ensued until Section 6, Kota Damansara.
“The suspect lost control of the car and collided with several cars in the housing area there. Three men got out from the car and tried to run but we managed to apprehend two of them.
“One still remains at large after he escaped during a scuffle with police, ” said Petaling Jaya OCPD Asst Comm Nik Ezanee Mohd Faisal to a press conference at the district police headquarters here on Monday (March 9).
He added that seven cases of house robbery have been linked to this gang, all of which were within the Kota Damansara area.
Police also found tools believed to have been used during their crime spree, including machetes, pliers and a saw.
The remaining suspect is identified as Kesavan Anbalagan, aka Rajan.
“I hope the public will be able to share any information on this suspect. Help me get this person. I want this man!” he said.

Update(2011ET): Russia has belatedly confirmed that its Moskva warship has suffered significant damage after Ukrainian officials said its forces scored direct missile hits on the ship off Odesa’s coast.
However, the Russian state RIA is seeking to counter the Ukrainian narrative, saying that the Moskva has been “seriously damaged” due to a fire that broke out onboard that detonated ammunition. But there weren’t further details provided, resulting in an emerging consensus among Western observers that likely the ship was indeed struck. The Ukrainians said earlier they struck the vessel with two Neptune anti-ship cruise missiles…
Thus like in many other cases in this grinding war, two contrary narratives have quickly emerged…
But while there were reports that over 500 Russian crewmembers could be in immediate danger of sinking, RIA is reporting, “”The crew was completely evacuated. The reasons for the incident are being established”…leaving things still unclear.
The incident suggests things are likely to heat up, also as the US administration has just vowed to ramp up its weapons shipments to Kiev.
Prior footage of a Neptune in action:

Update(1820ET): Into the late and overnight hours local time Ukrainian sources are claiming a Russian warship is sinking off the Odessa coast after being struck by Ukrainian missiles. Regional media has cited Ukrainian military officials in Odessa, saying:
The Ukrainian military has struck a Russian naval cruiser with two missiles, causing “severe damage” to the warship, an official said late Wednesday.
Maksym Marchenko, head of the Odessa Regional Military Administration, said on Telegram that the Moskva, the flagship of the Russian Black Sea Fleet, was hit with two Neptune anti-ship missiles.
There are reportedly over 500 Russian crew members on board, however, the Russian military has not confirmed the incident, nor was their initial confirmation out of high-level Ukrainian defense Ministry officials.
Earlier in an afternoon press briefing, Pentagon spokesman John Kirby said the US believes based on intelligence that Russian troops are suffering “low morale” after immense battlefield losses.
* * *
Update(1417ET): The White House is moving to significantly expand its intelligence sharing with Ukraine, The Wall Street Journal is reporting based on admin officials.
“The Biden administration is moving to significantly expand the intelligence it is providing to Ukraine’s forces so they can target Moscow’s military units in Russian-occupied Donbas and Crimea and potentially take back territory, U.S. officials said,” the report says.
Further, it comes as Biden has said the Pentagon will step up its weapons flow to Kyiv. This was revealed following a phone call with Zelensky on Wednesday, where Biden said he informed the Ukrainian counterpart he’s authorized an additional $800 million in weapons, ammunition, and other security assistance to Ukraine, according to the official readout.
Crucially, the transfer of helicopters was named as part of the new assistance package. Some of these are weapons systems the Pentagon has never given Ukraine before. The section of the readout indicates as follows:
These new capabilities include artillery systems, artillery rounds, and armored personnel carriers. I have also approved the transfer of additional helicopters. In addition, we continue to facilitate the transfer of significant capabilities from our Allies and partners around the world.
The steady supply of weapons the United States and its Allies and partners have provided to Ukraine has been critical in sustaining its fight against the Russian invasion. It has helped ensure that Putin failed in his initial war aims to conquer and control Ukraine. We cannot rest now. As I assured President Zelenskyy, the American people will continue to stand with the brave Ukrainian people in their fight for freedom.
It was previously reported that these would likely be Mi-17 helicopters.
The WSJ report separately comments that the new intelligence guidance has been issued as Russian forces appear poised for a major new assault deeper into the Donbas in the coming days.
Meanwhile, and hugely alarming, the Kremlin has put out the following statement saying that all of this is a recipe for expanding the war:
“We see attempts of sabotage and strikes by Ukrainian troops on objects on the territory of the Russian Federation,” said Russian Ministry of Defense spokesperson Maj. Gen. Igor Konashenkov, in a statement. “If such cases continue, the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation will strike at decision-making centers, including in Kyiv, from which the Russian army has thus far refrained.”
* * *
At a moment the Pentagon has vowed to “speed up” weapons deliveries to Ukraine forces, and after Slovakia announced early this week it is in discussion with NATO allies to provide Kyiv with MiG-29 fighter jets, the Kremlin has repeated its warning that any weapons shipments entering the country will be viewed as “legitimate military targets”.
The renewed warning was issued Wednesday by Russia’s Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov, who told the TASS news agency that the military stands ready to attack any US or NATO vehicles caught transporting weapons into the conflict.
“We are warning that US-NATO weapons transport across Ukrainian territory will be considered by us as legal military targets,” said Ryabkov, after last month the Kremlin issued a similar warning. But this time the language has been narrowed to specifically put the US and NATO on notice, whereas previously this was left somewhat ambiguous.
He warned further that these attempts to inflict damage on Russian forces will be “harshly suppressed”, explaining that…
“We are making the Americans and other Westerners understand that attempts to slow down our special operation, to inflict maximum damage on Russian contingents and formations of the DPR and LPR (Donetsk and Luhansk People’s republics) will be harshly suppressed.”
Ryabkov’s words come days after the Kremlin said ship-fired cruise missiles destroyed S-300 anti-air systems which had been provided by a European country.
“Defense Ministry spokesman Major General Igor Konashenkov said on Monday Russian Kalibr missiles destroyed on Sunday four S-300 launchers concealed in a hangar on the outskirts of the central-eastern Ukrainian city of Dnipro, hitting 25 Ukrainian soldiers in the attack,” it was reported Monday based on state sources.
However, Slovakia – which had recently confirmed sending an S-300 system to Kyiv – as well as Ukraine itself denied the Russian claims. Given the apparent delivery of such major systems to Ukraine, it’s likely other European and NATO countries will join with sending heavier and heavier weaponry, also amid reports of Soviet-era tank transfers.
Meanwhile, Reuters reports that the Department of Defense is looking to further ramp up its own shipments to Kyiv: “The Pentagon’s Defense Security Cooperation Administration is having weekly meetings of its European Crisis Management Team to review specific requests related to Ukraine,” writes Reuters.
And the report notes things are about t speed up: “To speed up U.S. government approval for sales and transfers of arms produced by American defense contractors, the Pentagon has re-established a team to respond to the increased demand,” according to Reuters.

Companies that can spot megatrends before their rivals gain great competitive advantages.
magine a future where concerns about sustainability and the environment have given way to worries about individual health and wellbeing.
Investors would shy away from "green" solution to instead focus on so-called "smart" products and technologies, such as digital assistants - ranging from portable screens to vehicles or robots - that help individuals in their everyday lives.
These "smart" technologies can help business too, of course, as they help cement a community of four or five billion people who will be connected to each other via the internet, each and every one of them a potential customer.
As such, a technological revolution is under way, where gadgets, large and small, are changing society. And this stuff is not make-believe any more. In a decade or so, much of this will have become reality.
But how will we get there? How will society change along the way, whether at the local or the global level?
Many companies are still trying to work out how they should respond to global trends, such as the dramatic rise of China's economic and political power, or even to the need for strategic takes on issues such as e-commerce or the rise of social media.

Diversity – a tick in a box or the key to a more productive organisation?
When you read the news, it seems that politics, both nationally and across the world, is growing more inward looking. And that, we believe, is a backward step.
To be successful, organisations need to create an outward-looking culture that supports inclusivity across as many different groups of people as possible.
A study in diversity
A study by global management consultants McKinsey examined 180 companies’ boards, over four countries for a period of two years. The results were interesting but maybe not surprising. Diverse boards perform better than less diverse ones.
In fact, they perform MUCH better. Diverse boards generated returns on equity that were an average of 53% higher and earnings before interest and tax of 14% higher.
And whilst this study looked specifically at the top executives, I’m sure that the benefits that brought those improved figures have an impact at any level in an organisation.
So, improved financial performance is one huge advantage, but there are plenty of others.
A range of different people
It’s great to work with a range of different people. You get a broader input of experiences and opinions that help you view your job – and indeed, your world – in new and interesting ways.
And so it follows that different perspectives can bring new insights about how challenges can be tackled. Studies involving mock juries found that a culturally mixed panel deliberated more, and raised a broader range of questions. Move that situation to the meeting room, and varied debate will lead to better decision making.
Another advantage is that varied cultural perspectives can be the catalyst for innovation and creativity. Different viewpoints and experiences can offer new perspectives that inspire the team to see things differently.
Think about it – have you ever met someone from the other side of the world and spoken to them about their life and experiences? And if so, have you ever thought at the end – that was a waste of time? I bet not. I bet you found the conversation enthralling and engaging.
This point is borne out by a study from Forbes who found “the best way to ensure the development of new ideas is through a diverse and inclusive workforce”.
The Open University has recently reported the UK skills gap is hitting our economy to the tune of £2.2bn, as organisations struggle to find workers with the skills and attributes they need. A policy of diversity helps to bridge the skills gap. By drawing from a mixed pool of people, you attract and retain the best talent. Demonstrating that you are actively seeking an inclusive culture can make you stand out to the best candidates. And diversity has been proven to improve retention, as employees feel respected and valued for their unique contribution.
It’s not always easy
Achieving diversity is not always easy. It’s different to ‘equality’ which is enshrined in law, a little less tangible perhaps, a little more easily overlooked. But if you have a mindset within your workplace, that ensures all sections of society have access to your employment opportunities, the results can be overwhelmingly positive, and so much more than the proverbial tick in a box.

Chris Kaman Pleased with First Game Action
It didn't take long for Chris Kaman to get a chance to test his right calf on Saturday night.
Kaman, who missed the final four preseason games and the first two regular-season contests with a calf strain, was sent into the game after just a few minutes of sitting on the bench in the first quarter. Part of the reason: The Mavericks were having rebounding problems, prompting Rick Carlisle to call a 20-second timeout less than 1:30 into the game.

Cosmetic dermatology focuses on treating minor cosmetic issues, such as wrinkles, sagging, fine lines, scarring, pigmentation, redness and other concerns that aren’t rooted in serious medical conditions. These elective procedures help patients remove blemishes and the undesired effects of aging, boosting their confidence and overall sense of well-being. While anti-aging treatments are popular, cosmetic dermatology also offers solutions for people of all ages who want to improve or correct skin and hair issues while avoiding major surgical procedures.
Some of our most commonly pursued procedures include laser treatments, chemical peels, and micro-needling. These treatments help to fill in wrinkles, even out skin tones and eliminate unwanted redness. They can also be used to remove unsightly moles or birthmarks. These outpatient procedures are safe, minimally invasive and have minimal side effects. Your dermatologist will discuss the best treatment plan for you based on your health history and desired outcome.
Our office offers a variety of cosmetic treatments and anti-aging treatments.
Acne can cause unsightly and worrisome scarring that may become more pronounced as you grow older. There are many in office treatments available for both raised and depressed scarring, including chemical peels, laser treatments, and injectable fillers.
Frowning and squinting contribute to fine lines, wrinkles and crow’s feet around the eyes and forehead as well as among other areas. BOTOX is an anti-aging treatment that is injected in the muscles around the eyes, forehead, and more to reduce unsightly lines and wrinkles.
A chemical peel is one of the many outpatient cosmetic treatments available that can treat a variety of conditions. Chemical peels help in treating wrinkles, scarring, acne, age spots and more.
Facial Redness, Angiomas + Blood Vessels
Unwanted redness in the face is often caused by broken blood vessels, birthmarks or other conditions. Laser treatments are commonly used to remedy this problem by reducing inflammation and repairing broken blood vessels.
This popular treatment is used for reducing wrinkles, lip enhancement, scar removal and more. Injectable fillers are administered by your dermatologist and fill in the area around the injection site with a collagen-like material.
Laser therapy utilizes powerful beams of energy to remove wrinkles or scarring. It is also used for mole, wart, birthmark and tattoo removal.
This treatment uses injectable filler to enhance the lips by either making it fuller, more hydrated or softer, fixing asymmetry, or changing the shape as desired.
Melasma, Hyperpigmentation + Brown Spots
These unwanted spots of gray or brown skin often develop due to exposure to the sun. They are treated with topical medications, chemical peels, oral medications, and even lasers when indicated.
This innovative procedure uses tiny, adjustable needles to encourage your skin to heal itself. Micro-needling is used for wrinkles, scarring, and acne.
A double chin can present itself due to weight gain, aging, or even genetics. However sometimes exercise alone can’t get rid of that submental fat. The revolutionary Kybella injections get rid of a double chin permanently.
Wrinkles + Enlarged Pores
Enlarged pores and wrinkles are common aging problems. Treatments like laser therapy, micro-needling, injectable fillers and chemical peels help to reduce the effects of aging on your skin.
