Aberth’s comprehensive analysis regards the reactions of a diverse variety of people during the era of the Black Plague. The geographical documents contribute to the overall non-discriminatory sense of The Black Death by unmistakably agreeing that the plague consumed every country, town, and home within its grasp. Whether it was a large town or a small community of homes, the plague could disturb any area. While different professionals have varying ideas of where the plague originated, it is collectively agreed upon between the geographical contributors that the plague, at its peak, had extended to every region. This understanding suggests that even those who chose to leave their homes in an attempt to escape the plague would probably not be spared. One writer in particular represents the overall non-discriminatory sense by proclaiming, “How amazingly does it [the plague] pursue the people of each house,” (18).
Furthermore, the medical experts who provide professional insight into the symptoms and transmission of the plague subtly contribute to the overall non-discriminatory sense of Aberth’s book. Although not explicitl...

In conclusion, the overall sense of The Black Death: The Great Mortality of 1348–1350 is undoubtedly that the plague did not discriminate. Regardless of which aspect of life one chooses to look at, discrimination within the plague’s capacity cannot be found. Some experts and writers disagree on the causes and cures of the Black Plague; however, it is not refuted that the plague affected every person of every nationality, religion, and social status. It is also not impossible to argue that the idea of inescapable death was mutual amongst the contributors to Aberth’s book of documents. Whether geographical, medical, or spiritual, each aspect of Aberth’s book proves that the plague did not show favoritism in any way; thus, no one could escape its fury. The plague of the mid 1300s did not give way to those of certain wealth, power, or religious affiliation. c

- The Black Plague or otherwise known as The Black Death or Bubonic Plague was one of the largest pandemics in the history of the world. It took the lives of almost 200 million Europeans between the years 1346 and 1353. By the end of the plague almost 60 percent of Europe’s population had been killed. What made the plague different than other diseases is that it nobody was safe from it. It targeted everyone. Sex, race, and ethnicity did not matter. If you lived in Europe you were at risk. The origin of the disease is still at question.... [tags: Black Death, Bubonic plague, Infectious disease]

- In the 13th century, the Black Plague became rampant, and decimated the population of Europe. This infection, which was the bubonic plague, was widely referred to as the Black Plague or the Black Death, because it killed everyone in its path. The plague spread through every single class, and killed millions of peasants, nobles, and kings, and affected every facet of life in Europe and all people during this time. Differing opinions were prevalent and there was no single overwhelming opinion. This range of opinions was understandable, especially as the disease seemed to be untreatable....

- The Black Death also known as the Bubonic Plague, swept through Europe from 1347 to 1351 and wiped out about a quarter of their population. The Black Death was caused by fleas that lived on rats that were on cargo ships that then landed on humans infecting them. Of course, when this plague came about, everyone was ignorant to the causes of the plague as well as to how they were treating the symptoms. Some may speculate that the cause of the reemergence of the Black Plague in Europe was because of the drastic climatic change which they called the mini ice age....

- Europe, in the Middle Ages, began to arise with new inventions, like the printing press, that helped many people in that time period, to advance in their education and their labor work, but before all that time, there was the rise of a strong and deadly disease that infected and killed millions of people throughout the world. Before the Black Plague, there were other diseases that had spread around Europe before the Middle Ages but it wasn’t as quickly and deadly as the Black Plague. The Black Plague was found to have come from animals, like rats, but it was mostly from the fleas that were on the rats.... [tags: Black Death, Bubonic plague, Middle Ages, Plague]

- The Black Plague in Europe Was the Bubonic Plague really as bad of an event as it is made out to be. It could just be considered the “greatest catastrophe” of all time (Benedictow). The Bubonic Plague, which is also referred as the “Black Death” is often considered one of the most devastating epidemics in all of human history. It is estimated that anywhere from 30-60 percent of Europe 's population was wiped out from the wide spread of the disease.

The British-Faroese non-profit organization ”Grindahvalur” (Pilot whale) has launched a campaign to provide unbiased, up-to-date, scientifically-based information about pilot whales, toxic pollution and public health.
On January 1st a billboard advertisement was erected in central Tórshavn to highlight the threat posed by industrial poisons, both to the whales and the people that consume whale products. It recommends people eat more fish, and not pilot whale, for a healthy life.
This has been followed earlier this week with a public information brochure that has been delivered to every Faroese household. It provides up-to-date factual information on the dangers posed by toxic pollutants that concentrate up the food-chain into the whales and the people eating whale products.
Dr. Pál Weihe, Chief Physician at the Department of Occupational Medicine and Public health in the Faroes has raised his concerns on this issue many times over the past 30 years. He believes that pilot whale is not safe for public consumption and his views on the dangers posed by these toxic contaminants are supported by international scientific research, the organization states on its web page.
The contributors in the organization are Rúni Nielsen, food science consultant, Dr. Pál Weihe, director of occupational medicine and public health, Marna Frida Olsen, communications consultant, Jens Mortan Rasmussen, teacher and whaler, Ingi Sørensen, photographer and diver, and Fabian Ritter, marine biologist and pilot whale researcher.
Grindahvalur has also produced a movie called ”Grindahvalur” which Sir David Attenborough introduced at its premiere in 2016. The movie highlights the grave threat of pollution to whales and people.
According to Grindahvalur.org, Attenborough argues that ”while hunting the pilot whale has helped the Faroese survive a harsh environment over countless generations, the very same poisons that threaten the whales now threaten the people eating them.
But there is no need to end the Faroese’ special relationship with the pilot whale, but simply redefine it: For these incredible animals can still provide for the Faroese through whale-watching, rather than as food, in a way that will help sustain both whales and the Faroese far into the future”, Attenborough argues.

Objective: To examine physicians' attitudes about the impact of Medicare Part D and how it varied among seniors, particularly Medicare-Medicaid dual-eligible enrollees. Study Design: Web-based survey of primary care physicians in North Carolina (generous Medicaid formulary) and Florida, Massachusetts, and Texas (restrictive Medicaid formularies). Methods: Of 5141 eligible primary care physicians, 716 (14%) responded between November 2007 and March 2008. We examined Part D's effects on access overall and for selected populations. We used descriptive and regression analyses to assess physicians' views about Part D's effects on dual-eligible enrollees and how those views differed between North Carolina and the other states. All analyses were weighted for nonresponse. Results: More respondents had a favorable (48%) than an unfavorable (37%) view of Part D overall, and 55% reported Part D improved access to prescription drugs in general. However, 44% reported access declined for individuals with prior drug coverage, and 64% reported Part D formularies were insufficient for their patients' needs. Nearly half (49%) reported dual-eligible enrollees' access was worse under Part D in 2007 relative to Medicaid before 2006; 63% reported higher administrative burden. Physicians reported Part D lowered dual-eligible enrollees' access and increased providers' burden more in North Carolina than in the 3 restrictive Medicaid states. Conclusion: Primary care physicians held generally positive but widely varying views of Part D. Respondents expressed concerns about access to prescription drugs under Part D, particularly for dual-eligible enrollees. Improving the transparency and generosity of Part D formulary coverage may improve access.

Will criminalising behaviour by 'reckless' bank leaders act as a greater deterrent than sanctions already available under Financial Services and Markets legislation?
This is one of many questions The Law Society posed in its response to the Treasury's consultation, where it proposed to introduce criminal offences targeting reckless conduct by senior bankers.
Following the banking crisis of 2008, the debate about 'what to do about banks and bankers' has been a recurring theme.
Last week the Financial Services (Banking Reform) Bill, the government's legislative response to the financial crisis, received another airing in the House of Commons.
The amendments before Parliament follow Treasury's endorsement of recommendations made by the Parliamentary Commission on Banking Standards in its report, Changing banking for good.
At the heart of the report is a desire to increase regulatory control.
Of concern to many, in the City and in the wider business community, is whether these reforms will achieve their aim and what might their unintended consequences be?
Criminal Sanctions Will Not Improve Banking Standards
The Law Society argued against the proposed new criminal sanctions on legal, practical and wider economic grounds.
We remain un-persuaded that such sanctions, or even the threat of such sanctions, would deliver a systemic improvement in banking standards or the desired change to bankers' behaviour.
The introduction of a criminal offence of 'reckless misconduct in the management of a bank', to carry a custodial sentence, flies in the face of the Treasury's acknowledgement that, in order to define what constitutes recklessness, there must be a clear idea of what constitutes acceptable or "non-reckless" risk-taking.
The Law Society has expressed serious concerns that there is insufficient definition and structure to the new offences.
A badly drafted law could seriously inhibit the flexibility of organisations and their willingness to innovate and take decisions.
Risk-Taking Is Still Needed
Sensible risk-taking is at the heart of effective banking.
There is no definition of "failure" in relation to banks and the target of the proposed new measures is also unclear - the consultation refers interchangeably to 'directors', 'senior executives', 'board members' and 'senior managers'.
Just who is to be caught by the legislation?
And here's where the next problem is likely to strike.
With uncertainty about the application of these new offences hanging in the air, the prospect of criminal sanctions may deter risk-taking among bank leaders or discourage experienced, well-qualified candidates from taking up senior positions.
This could lead to struggling banks facing a vacuum of quality leadership at a time when they most need it, perversely resulting in poorer decision making and overly defensive banking that could harm the wider economy.
Central to the debate and the Law Society's Banking Reform Working Party's ongoing scrutiny of the banking reforms is the need to balance risk, reward and now this concept of 'recklessness'.
The legal test of recklessness will mean prosecutors will have to decide, possibly years after the decision was taken, whether it was reckless or not at the time.
Businesses Could Become Risk Averse
The effect of this is that businesses will become more risk averse.
Businesses may become wary of making bold but legitimate business decisions in case those decisions are deemed reckless years later, measured against the backdrop of a vastly different business environment.
Business decisions will always involve a degree of risk; the commercial environment is unpredictable and, while a decision may be characterised as reckless with the benefit of hindsight, at the time it is taken it may be a perfectly reasonable course of action.
More conservative decision-making and a box-ticking culture removing sensible professional judgement and prudent risk-taking - the likely result of these measures - would hinder growth and act as a drag on recovery in the wider economy.
Insufficient evidence has been advanced to justify these new measures when regulatory measures currently in force, and recently reinforced by the Financial Services Act 2012, would be quicker, more transparent and deliver more effective enforcement.
Regulatory powers offer the right balance between effective deterrents and punishment of infringements.
These, coupled with civil remedies to ensure irresponsible individuals cannot continue to work in the industry, are readily available robust tools at the disposal of regulators to hold financial institutions to account.
Criminalisation of bank leaders may satisfy the public craving for revenge but is unlikely to deliver us better banks.
Desmond Hudson is the CEO at The Law Society, which represents solicitors in England and Wales.
From negotiating with and lobbying the profession's regulators, government and others, to offering training and advice, The Law Society aims to protect and promote solicitors across England and Wales.

This was not a surprise. My lightroom (still ver 4.4) could not read the Olympus RAW format .orf. The same thing happens to most owners of new cameras, they have to wait for an update from adobe and they complain a lot on the internet. Please don’t think I’m just complaining, I understand the issue but I not interested in the adobe subscription so this probably marks the beginning of the end for lightroom in my photographic tool set.
On the left is the jpeg image straight out of the camera, shot in Auto. On the right is the same image but the .orf version read by Aurora HDR 2018, which can read the Olympus .orf RAW format. To keep with the spirit of using Auto I have only used it’s basic Tone Mapping (just stretching the tonal range) as a fairly basic thing you might do with any RAW file. I like both but the one of the right feels more like being there, so I made it my PhotoFriday post this week.

In today’s time, most of us spend a lot (by that I mean A LOT) of time on social media. From following our favourite brands and celebrities to binge-watching videos which are our guilty pleasure, we’ve done it all! Where we love all this, there is also a part of social media which isn’t too pleasant- the trolls. A while back, Ajay Devgn and Kajol‘s daughter, Nysa Devgn was trolled for the outfit (a long blue hoodie dress with shorts) she was wearing at the airport. Recently, in an interview with Hindustan Times, Ajay spoke about the incident and how it hurt not only Nysa but the entire family.
She is just a 14-year-old and I feel, at times, people forget that and talk rubbish. She was wearing such a long shirt and she was also wearing shorts. Now because of the length of the shirt, her shorts weren’t visible and the kid got trolled for that.
He also spoke about the paparazzi culture here and said that he would like to request the paparazzi to at least leave the children alone. “Why are they paying the price for their famous parents?” he questioned, adding, “I don’t think any child is okay with paparazzi. They want their space.” He also mentioned that the children wouldn’t want to dress up every time they step out. So if such an incident happens, it’s a very sad thing.
We totally agree with Ajay Devgn here. It’s ridiculous to troll someone because of the choice of their outfit. I’m sure none of us would like it if people commented on our outfits and judged us for a particular choice. Why is it different for the celebrity kids then? What are your thoughts about this? Tell us in the comments.

IOS 8.3 with Siri English version comes out
Apple has released iOS 8.3. The third update for iOS 8 contains the English version of voice assistant Siri. Thus the English version of Siri comes from 3.5 years after Apple introduced the function.
Users get seven hours Wednesday from a message that the update is ready on their iOS device and iTunes, the update also to win. It is the first time that Siri works in Dutch. Dutch Siri users could already use in English since October 2011, when the feature debuted in the iPhone 4s .
The iOS 8.3 update with the Dutch Siri does not come as a surprise. In the second test version of iOS 8.3 which was released in February, was the function. That Apple was working on support for Dutch at Siri, could already made are in jobs that Apple published earlier. Besides the new language for Siri there are also new emoji in iOS 8.3, including a Dutch flag.
The release follows quickly on iOS 8.2, which came out not too long ago. According to an earlier rumor comes additionally iOS 8.4 in the summer, then again this fall iOS 9 should follow. Whether that’s right, Apple has not yet confirmed.Viewing:-133

? ? This proposal describes a 5-year training program for the development of an academic career in ? Transfusion Medicine. The Principal Investigator has completed formal residency training in Clinical Pathology at the University of Pennsylvania and is now expanding his clinical skills in blood banking/transfusion medicine and scientific skills in signal transduction biology. Dr. Gary Koretzky, an international authority in signal transduction biology, will mentor the principal investigator's scientific development. Dr. Koretzky is the Chief of Rheumatology and holds an endowed chair in pathology having mentored numerous students, post-doctoral fellows, and junior faculty members. To further promote the investigator's scientific development, an Advisory Committee comprising highly regarded medical scientists including Drs. Steven L. Reiner, Warren S. Pear, and Don L. Siegel has been established. As a recognized leader in transfusion medicine, Dr. Siegel will also mentor the principal investigator's clinical development. The proposed research focuses on signal transduction of the mast cell, a key inflammatory cell in allergic responses such as asthma, anaphylaxis, and atopic dermatitis. Allergic responses to transfusion are a common untoward effect and interfere with the administration of life-saving therapy. Therefore, understanding the mechanisms of mast cell activation is of particular importance to transfusion medicine, and designing novel therapeutics to attenuate mast cell responses will be especially important as newer forms of cellular therapies and vectors for gene therapy are developed. To this end, this proposal specifically focuses on an important aspect of mast cell activation, i.e. the role of SLP-76 and other adaptor molecules in IgE-mediated mast cell signal transduction. Mice lacking SLP-76 show defects in vascular formation, T cells, platelets, and mast cells. Given the Mentor's expertise regarding the SLP-76 molecule, Dr. Koretzky's laboratory provides an ideal setting to study the precise roles played by SLP-76 and related molecules in mast cell function.
Specific Aims i nclude: 1) determining the contribution of SLP-76 and alternative SLP-76- independent pathways in mast cell function, 2) studying the structure/function relationship of SLP-76 in mast cells, and 3) examining the involvement of these molecules in mast cell function in an anaphylaxis mouse model. The utility of an SLP-76 inhibitor as a therapeutic agent will be tested in the anaphylaxis model. ? In summary, mast cells play a major role in allergic diseases ranging in severity from hives to life threatening anaphylactic transfusion reactions. This proposal aims to dissect the molecular mechanisms involved in mast cell signal transduction. The intellectual strength and academic track-record of the principal investigator's Mentor and Advisory Committee members, the available expertise in methods required to study signal transduction, and the quality of the research facilities at the University of Pennsylvania Medical Center comprise an ideal environment in which to conduct this proposed training program. ? ?

The aging process is characterized by the chronic inflammatory status called "inflammaging", which shares major molecular and cellular features with the metabolism-induced inflammation called "metaflammation." Metaflammation is mainly driven by overnutrition and nutrient excess, but other contributing factors are metabolic modifications related to the specific body composition (BC) changes occurring with age. The aging process is indeed characterized by an increase in body total fat mass and a concomitant decrease in lean mass and bone density, that are independent from general and physiological fluctuations in weight and body mass index (BMI). Body adiposity is also re-distributed with age, resulting in a general increase in trunk fat (mainly abdominal fat) and a reduction in appendicular fat (mainly subcutaneous fat). Moreover, the accumulation of fat infiltration in organs such as liver and muscles also increases in elderly, while subcutaneous fat mass tends to decrease. These specific variations in BC are considered risk factors for the major age-related diseases, such as cardiovascular diseases, type 2 diabetes, sarcopenia and osteoporosis, and can predispose to disabilities. Thus, the maintenance of a balance rate of fat, muscle and bone is crucial to preserve metabolic homeostasis and a health status, positively contributing to a successful aging. For this reason, a detailed assessment of BC in elderly is critical and could be an additional preventive personalized strategy for age-related diseases. Despite BMI and other clinical measures, such as waist circumference measurement, waist-hip ratio, underwater weighing and bioelectrical impedance, are widely used as a surrogate measure for body adiposity, they barely reflect the distribution of body fat. Because of the great advantages offered by imaging tools in research and clinics, the attention of clinicians is now moving to powerful imaging techniques such as computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry and ultrasound to obtain a more accurate estimation of BC. The aim of this review is to present the state of the art of the imaging techniques that are currently available to measure BC and that can be applied to the study of BC changes in the elderly, outlining advantages and disadvantages of each technique.
Keywords: age-related diseases; aging; body composition; fat and lean mass; imaging techniques.

Family and systemic psychotherapy can help those in close relationships to better understand and support each other. It enables people to express and explore difficult thoughts and emotions safely, understand each other’s experiences and views, and by working together, make useful changes in their relationships and their lives. Our Family Systemic Psychotherapist can work with children and adults on their own or with other family members.
Non-Violent Resistance (NVR)
Non Violent Resistance (NVR) is an innovative form of systemic family therapy, which has been developed for aggressive, violent, controlling and self-destructive behaviour in young people. It can help parents/carers to re-establish a warm, loving and containing parental presence. NVR has its roots in the religious and political movements created/adopted by leaders such as Mahatma Ghandi and Martin Luther King Jr.
NVR is designed for parents who are experiencing significant difficulties. However, its concepts (such as de-escalation, active resistance and reconciliation) are useful for everyone.
Multi-family groups in schools (to prevent exclusions)
The Overcoming Programme is a guided self-help Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT) programme for parents of anxious children. The aim of the programme is for parents to become anxiety management experts by providing strategies that parents can work though at home to support their child. Techniques are discussed with parents in a collaborative way, asking for their opinion as to how each strategy might work for their child given what they know about them. Time is spent on reflecting on what works best for the family and guiding the parents, as well as providing opportunity for practice.
Video Interaction Guidance (VIG) and VERP (Video Enhanced Reflective Practice)
This is an attachment based coaching approach which has been shown to be highly effective for parents, young people and professionals. It focuses on recognising and building upon strength to develop and strengthen key relationships. The approach supports children, young people and their parents, carers and teachers to understand positive aspects of behaviour and to improve communication skills through positive shared experiences.

Korça, 15 March 2016 – Municipality of Korça in collaboration with Children Human Rights Centre of Albania – CRCA, organized today the workshop "Access of Roma children to early childhood services” at the Hotel Life Gallery conference hall. This workshop intended to bring together key stakeholders of the Korça Qark, to discuss solutions and recommendations from the two year implementation of the initiative, that affect the improvement of the living conditions and the integration of Roma children in preschool education.
The UNICEF and CRCA Albania initiative "Every Roma child in the kindergarten" supported by the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation and the Austrian Cooperation for Development, aims to establish and support local networks in early childhood issues and the integration of Roma children in preschool. At this meeting, representatives of public institutions and civil society expressed their commitment to continue working in support of the Roma community and especially for the integration of 3-6 year old children in the kindergarten, and find a solution to the series of problems that need to be addressed in the future.
Mr. Altin Hazizaj, General Director of CRCA Albania and moderator of the meeting, in his speech said: “The establishment of sustainable cooperation between policy makers (municipality, municipal council, local authorities) and Roma community is crucial to foster integration of children in preschool services”. Furthermore, we must empower Roma families and mobilize them with the aim to create their active commitment to dialogue with local government and service providers.
Mrs. Benila Terova, Deputy Mayer of Korça Municipality emphasized the importance that the municipality gave to vulnerable groups and their integration in society. ‘We have collaborated with a number of actors that work for Roma community in the city and will continue to do so in areas concerning registration, education, integration of youth in the labour market and will continue to support them in drafting local policies and documents to give life to an active community that contributes to the society.
In the first part of the workshop, Mr. Elvis Gjata, Coordinator of Korça Qark, made a brief presentation of two years of work in this qark. He stopped on the main achievements of the initiative and success stories at national level. During the presentation he discussed on the recommendations and key issues that this initiative should take into account for Roma children integration in preschool.
The workshop continued with the presentation of the survey "Roma children access to early childhood services" to disclose to the participants main findings and recommendations of the study.
The meeting was attended by representatives of key institutions in the region of Korça where we can mention the Municipality, the Regional Council, State Social Services, Maliq Municipality, representatives from Drenova, Department of Public Health, heads of schools and kindergartens of the city, teachers, representatives of local non-governmental organizations, youth, students, media, etc.
The workshop focused on open discussion between participants and concluded by raising issues and a series of recommendations for addressing the problems that Roma community is facing in this city. At the end of the meeting participants agreed to organize a second workshop to develop an "Action Plan for Roma and Egyptian Community in Korca Qark" in consultation with the Roma community.

Both the short stories "The Rocking Horse Winner- by D. Lawrence and "Araby- by James Joyce are made relevant by their use of symbols to portray what the author's point of view is on each respective subject of the short story. In "The Rocking Horse Winner- we have Lawrence's view of what mankind has become and in "Araby- we have Joyce's perspective on religion and spirituality.
In "The Rocking Horse Winner- we have Paul, searching for his mother's love and approval which in her words is luck, "If you're lucky you have money. That's why it's better to be born lucky than rich- (Lawrence 2). The mother feels that even though they live an adequate and more than likely eloquent life she has to compete with her more affluent neighbours. "Because we're the poor members of the family, said the mother."" (Lawrence 2). These words from his mother cause Paul to be on a mission to bring luck and money to his family in order to please his mother. It is this warped definition of luck that ultimately kills Paul. He believed that when he was able to get money, this show of luck would also bring the love he wanted from his mother. However, as lucky as Paul seems to be in picking the right horses at the races, he is never lucky enough to receive the love that all children want. .
Paul's "magic- device in getting lucky is his toy horse, another symbol of the materialistic view of the family, particularly his mother. The most obvious symbol of the rocking horse is portrayed by the back and forth movement; Paul is doing the same thing as the rocking horse, putting all the effort into pleasing his mother but not actually getting anywhere. It seems as though Paul is trapped in an unrelenting drive to achieve, and like the rocking horse he is unable to escape from that spot. Even at the end of the story when the amount of money that Paul gives his Mother is not enough.
Lawrence also puts a strong sense of morality in to the short story.

What are the materials used to make micro prismatic reflective sheeting?
Micro prismatic reflective sheeting is a type of reflective material commonly used in various applications, including automotive, aviation, and industrial. The reflective surface of micro prismatic reflective sheeting is made up of a series of small prisms that are arranged in a regular pattern. This unique configuration creates a high degree of light reflection by refracting and reflecting the incident light rays in a specific direction.
Various materials are used to create micro prismatic reflective sheeting, including glass, quartz, and metal. Glass is often used as the substrate due to its durability and resistance to scratching. Quartz is another popular material often used because of its high refractive index and excellent light-reflective properties. Metal, such as aluminum and silver, are also used to produce micro prismatic reflective sheeting due to their high reflectivity and low optical loss.
In addition to the substrate, the material used for the prisms also plays a crucial role in the performance of micro prismatic reflective sheeting. Glass and quartz prisms are typically made using a casting process. In contrast, metal prisms are typically created using a sintering process. The shape and size of the prisms can also be tailored to optimize the material's reflective properties.
Micro prismatic reflective sheeting has a number of practical applications, including automotive lighting, aviation navigation, and industrial lighting. In automotive lighting, micro prismatic reflective sheeting is typically used with headlights to improve the vehicle's visibility in low-light conditions. In aviation, micro prismatic reflective sheeting is used to enhance the visibility of the aircraft during night flights. In industrial applications, micro prismatic reflective sheeting is often used to enhance the efficiency and safety of industrial processes.
Overall, the production of micro prismatic reflective sheeting requires a combination of advanced technologies and specialized materials. The use of these materials and technologies has enabled the development of a wide range of high-performance reflective materials critical to several practical applications.

Durban - Indians “whining” about the ANC government should leave and go to India, says Visvin Reddy, the party’s former councillor and Chatsworth branch chairman. He claims that whiners have not yet embraced democracy.
Still a prominent ANC member, Reddy has drawn criticism for his Facebook post, but he remains unapologetic, saying on Wednesday that he stood by his controversial comments and took attacks on the ANC personally.
Writing on his Facebook page over a week ago Reddy said: “To you anti ANC commentators…wait until May 8. The ANC will still rule this country. You whiners should leave. Go to India and you will see what a good life we have here. Continue with your garbage and marginalise yourself further. Don’t blame the ANC blame yourself. You have not yet embraced democracy. Only a foolish Indian in SA will not engage the majority constructively…”
Speaking to the Daily News on Wednesday Reddy said the views he expressed were not those of the ANC and he sought to clarify them. He said they were only meant to discourage any malicious criticism of the government which could lead to relations between black and Indian South Africans getting strained.
“I am not saying criticism of the government is not welcome, but it should be done in a constructive manner otherwise it could be seen as an attack on the majority and that might create tensions,” he said.
“I am saying, let us embrace the majority... Sometimes the criticism you see is malicious and is coming from people who have been fed DA propaganda.”
Reddy admitted there were a “few challenges” with things like the equity regulations and the quota system, but believed these were needed to redress imbalances.
He said his statement on India was based on India having, despite its rich traditions, a huge population and high levels of poverty.
“I have been to India, especially the northern parts, a number of times and some of the friends and family members who have been to India agree that here in South Africa the situation is better,” he said.
“But I am not saying India is a bad country.”
He also said his post was in response to criticism of the ANC and the government by some Indians on Facebook.
“Some of this criticism is really malicious. You get people saying the black government cannot govern and blacks cannot be trusted. All I was saying is that if you have to criticise the government, do it in a constructive way. I take attacks on the ANC personally and so do millions of (black) South Africans.”
He said there was very little need for Indians to feel marginalised as the current ANC government had bent over backwards to accommodate minorities.
“Yes, people have the right to criticise. But with rights come responsibilities. We have to think about the future of our children.”
Indian leaders slammed Reddy for his comments.
“We are born here, we are South Africans and nobody should tell me to go to India,” said Ashwin Trikamjee, president of the South African Hindu Maha Sabha.
He dismissed Reddy, saying “nobody takes him seriously”.
However, Trikamjee agreed that some criticism against the ANC was unjustified and malicious.
“The country has blossomed and anyone who says something to the contrary is talking nonsense,” he said.
MF member of Parliament, Roy Bhoola, cautioned that Reddy’s statements could breed division.
“We cannot mandate people to think the way we do, neither can we force people to support a specific political party. Being part of a democracy means respecting each person’s right to hold their own political views,” Bhoola said.
“I think Visvin Reddy needs to consult his own party and ensure that his statements are in line with the party’s mandate, before he makes loose assertions based on anger and contempt, which ultimately breed greater seeds of division.”
SA Minority Rights Equality Movement (Samrem) said the comments exposed Reddy’s own “racist mentality”. “The minute you racialise anything you show your own racist mentality. Why is he saying Indians should go to India?” asked the movement’s acting chairman, Daleep Lutchman.
“We of Samrem have been engaging the ANC since our inception in 2010, reminding the organisation of the continuous sabotaging of the principles enshrined in our constitution.
“We have been reminding the ANC that legislation like the Employment Equity Act; the quota system based on race in admitting our children to institutions of higher learning; and the exclusion of minority groups from broad-based black economic empowerment is in itself entrenching apartheid-style racism,” Lutchman said. - Daily News

Suggestions that Kei Kamara wasn’t fit enough to start for Sporting Kansas City never really passed the smell test, did they?
After all, how could a man trying to make his way in the venerable English Premiership, especially a man on loan and presumably putting in overtime to prove his worth for a club considering an outright purchase, not be fully fit?
Kamara spent the winter and early spring months at Norwich City and then returned to the Heartland about a month ago, his loan spell up. Sporting Kansas City still owns his contract while Norwich and possibly others consider bringing in the big midfielder for the full English season during the summer transfer period.
Oddly enough, however, he isn’t starting in Kansas City. All four of Kamara’s appearances for Peter Vermes’ club have come off the bench in 2013.
Hmmmm. Could it possibly be that Vermes doesn’t want to disrupt a team that has found a groove lately? Or that he doesn’t want to fully integrate Kamara into his side, only to see the Sierra Leone international hightail it right back to England in July?
Those sound like reasonable explanations. But not fit? C’mon.
Either way, Kamara certainly proved his worth Sunday outside Kansas City, stating his case emphatically for a starting role around Sporting Park.
An SKC side that was on its back foot against Houston for a half (and one that went into the break trailing by a goal on Brad Davis’ smart little flick past Jimmy Nielsen) suddenly owned the game.
Kamara’s early second-half introduction was the master stroke. His power and dash-about desire turned things, and his 68th minute crack from just outside the 18 were an enormous lift as the home team ultimately split the points.
Kamara very nearly provided the game winner in the 76th; it took some very nice work from Houston ‘keeper Tally Hall to push Kamara’s sharp header over goal.
Pending the full highlight pack, here is Kamara’s left-footed equalizer:

How many people have died at Phish shows?

Are Phish good musicians?
Phish is extraordinary. They are nothing like the Dead, despite sharing some major influences musically (funk, soul, r&b, blues, reggae, bluegrass, jazz) Phish is much closer to Zappa, and their jamming style is quite different and more sophisticated.

Why does the Phish drummer wear a dress?
That was a ritual too. If he [Jon Fishman, drummer] didn’t wear the dress it would be a bad gig. He had a three-piece suit he was wearing at one point too for a while, and those were bad gigs, and so back came the dress. It’s kind of like working with music.

Both are guitar-based rock bands that came to prominence in the ’90s with incredible fan bases, with Phish falling into the hippie culture and DMB building a following through college frat parties and mainstream radio play. Both are jam bands with a penchant for playing long, improvisational songs in concert.
Is Phish overrated?
Phish has a legion of devoted fans that unite together much like The Grateful Dead. There are many reasons why they are overrated, but the most important is that Phish just makes mediocre music.
When did Phish first play a live show?
For Phish, who have played 1700-plus known shows since they first debuted on Dec. 2, 1983, there’s no shortage of live shows out there.
What did they do in the early days of Phish?
In the early days, Phish might have played someone’s backyard, a farm, or in this case, a “family park,” where as the flier for the show said, one could play miniature golf, go swimming in the river, or enjoy “creamy ice cream.”
When did Phish play at the Aladdin Theater?
Of the live shows the band has officially released, this one, like many of the band’s ‘80s shows, is raw and playful, the latter a characteristic that would come to define them. 9. Vegas ‘96 (12/6/96, Aladdin Theater, Las Vegas, NV)
When did Phish play at the Great Woods?

I sometimes visualise the ongoing cycle of racism as a moving walkway at the airport. Active racist behaviour is equivalent to walking fast on the conveyor belt. The person engaged in active racist behaviour has identified with the ideology of White supremacy and is moving with it. Passive racist behaviour is equivalent to standing still on the walkway. No overt effort is being made, but the conveyor belt moves the bystanders along to the same destination as those who are actively walking. Some of the bystanders may feel the motion of the conveyor belt, see the active racists ahead of them, and choose to turn around, unwilling to go to the same destination as the White supremacists. But unless they are walking actively in the opposite direction at a speed faster than the conveyor belt—unless they are actively antiracist—they will find themselves carried along with the others.

On June 10, police responded to a report in the area of Park Lane South and Woodhaven Boulevard, where 23-year-old Queens man Diego Piedrahita was discovered with trauma to his head and unconscious. Medical personnel pronounced him dead at the scene.
In conjunction with the suspicious death – which has been ruled a homicide – police are looking for Zoltan Forai, who also goes by the name Stephen. He’s been known to frequent the area near the bandshell and Victory Field in Forest Park. He’s also known to be an associate of the deceased, but their relationship was unclear at press time.
Forai is described as a 44-year-old man, approximately 5'7” tall, approximately 170 pounds with brown eyes, brown hair and a beard.
The murder, in conjunction with two recent shootings in Woodhaven, prompted a discussion of safety at the Woodhaven Residents' Block Association Meeting on June 11.
“I know there’s been a lot going on, high-profile cases,” Officer Jose Severino told the residents. “I understand your frustrations and you’re probably wondering what’s going on, but we have leads in most of these crimes. I know it’s just a bad wave right now, it’s not just us.”
Severino noted it seems like there’s been a rise in gun violence across the city recently, and it’s not just exclusive to the 102nd Precinct. He added that, overall, crime is down approximately 10 percent in the precinct’s jurisdiction.
The prevailing fear from the residents is that they’ll be caught in the gun violence of others. One resident said she was afraid of going to get a carton of milk on Jamaica Avenue at night if there’s a chance of gunfire opening up.
Severino assured residents that they were working to address the violence along with outside help from other agencies.
Also in attendance at the meeting was Councilwoman Elizabeth Crowley, who represents a portion of Woodhaven. While updating her constituents on the progress of various capital projects, she also addressed the issues of violence that seems to be plaguing the area.
“I wanted to be here partly because I heard about the very sad and disturbing news of a young man found dead in Forest Park,” she told her constituents. “Safety in Forest Park is so important. I myself often run in the park, so I want to make sure there are no perpetrators.”
Crowley said that she and the other elected officials are working alongside the police department.
“We’ve been on top of the 102nd Precinct to make sure they have control there,” she said. “It is very disturbing and we’ll be working to try and find more information”
Crowley is also working alongside Assemblyman Mike Miller to make sure all the security cameras are properly installed in the park.
Angel Vazquez, a representative for Miller’s office, said that the first stage took longer than expected because they had to fight with the NYPD to get the cameras in Forest Park. There have been other administrative delays regarding the location of the cameras, which Miller’s office hopes will be installed soon.

Writing at the Guardian, Karen McVeigh says that there is burgeoning outrage over army Lt Col Marion Carrington’s recent statement to the Military Times that troops assisting Afghan police forces were on the lookout for “children with potential hostile intent”. (my bolds throughout)
… Carrington told the Marine Corp Times that children, as well as “military-age males”, had been identified as a potential threat because some were being used by the Taliban to assist in attacks against Afghan and coalition forces.
“It kind of opens our aperture,” said Carrington, whose unit, 1st Battalion, 508th Parachute Infantry Regiment, was assisting the Afghan police. “In addition to looking for military-age males, it’s looking for children with potential hostile intent.”
Another unnamed ‘Marine official’ questioned the original New York Times account of three children, Borjan, 12, Sardar Wali, 10, and Khan Bibi, 8, from Helmand province in October, as having been gathering dung for fuel as they were killed by a drone rocket strike.
However, the US official claimed that, before they called for the strike on suspected insurgents planting improvised explosive devices, marines had seen the children digging a hole in a dirt road and that “the Taliban may have recruited the children to carry out the mission”.
Well, digging holes; there you have it: iron-clad innuendo, eh? Worth killing with impunity.
McVeigh links to Human Rights Watch, ‘Taliban Should Stop Using Children as Suicide Bombers’ which says that evidence belies Mullah Omar’s pledge to protect women and children.
The United Nations Assistance Mission in Afghanistan has collected evidence that the Taliban has been recruiting children ages 11 through 17 to carry out activities including armed combat, planting improvised explosive devices, and smuggling weapons across the Pakistan-Afghan border. The Afghan Independent Human Rights Commission confirms increasing use by the Taliban of child suicide bombers. The Afghan government has reported that as many as 100 children who were recruited as suicide bombers by the Taliban are in the custody of the National Directorate of Security.
