Negotiations over how to fill and operate a controversial dam in Ethiopia are once again deadlocked after a tense back-and-forth between two countries that hold conflicting visions of water use in the Nile River watershed.
The $4 billion Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam, built on the Blue Nile, the river’s main tributary, is intended to boost economic output and improve energy access in Ethiopia. But the project, which began construction in 2011, has raised national security concerns within downstream Egypt, which draws its freshwater almost exclusively from the Nile.
A key question for Egypt is how the dam’s reservoir will be filled, a process that involves impounding water and reducing downstream flows. Ethiopian officials say they could fill the reservoir as quickly as two years, but will slow the process to four or seven years for the sake of their downstream neighbors.
Negotiations recently resumed, but they have been marked by accusations of overriding self-interest. On August 1, Egypt submitted a proposal that included stipulations for filling the reservoir, including requiring its consent at various points in the filling process. Ethiopia rejected the proposal, calling it “one-sided” and an affront to “the positive spirit of cooperation.”
In an October 1 letter circulated among embassies, the Ethiopian Foreign Ministry added that the proposal was “an effort to maintain a self-claimed colonial era-based water allocation and veto power on any project in the Nile system.” A 1959 agreement between Egypt and Sudan, the middle country in the basin, allocated most of the river’s flow to Egypt.
In response, Egypt says that Ethiopia has “rejected all the proposals that take Egypt’s water interests into account” and that negotiations are at a standstill. Egypt is now calling for international mediation.
“Ethiopia’s moving forward with the operation and filling of the Renaissance Dam is unacceptable and a clear violation of the Declaration of Principles, and will have negative consequences for stability in the region,” Egyptian Foreign Minister Sameh Shoukry reportedly told Parliament last week. The Declaration of Principles was signed by Egypt, Ethiopia, and Sudan in 2015 as a starting point for negotiations over the dam.
“We call on the international community to shoulder its responsibility in finding a solution that satisfies all parties,” Shoukry concluded.
Ethiopia says the call for international intervention is unwarranted, and that the three countries are capable of solving any “pending issues” before the dam is finished. Over the weekend, Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi and Ethiopian Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed agreed to meet soon to discuss the dam.
The dam is now roughly 60 percent complete, and is slated for completion in 2022.

The P-51 Mustang was first manufactured as a result of an RAF request in 1940 for a fast, heavily armed fighter able to operate at altitudes of more than 20,000 feet. The P-51D was the most widely produced variant of the Mustang family, and one of the photo reconnaissance version was designated F-6D. A total of 126 P-51D Mustangs built at the Inglewood plant were converted to this F-6D version. They carried two cameras in the rear of the fuselage, generally a K17 and a K22. One camera was aimed almost horizontally to the left while the other was directed downwards at an oblique angle. These specially equipped aircraft were used to gain vital aerial intelligence over enemy-held territory.
Dragon has released a fine 1/32 scale kit of one of these photo reconnaissance F-6D Mustangs. This is only the second 1/32 scale aircraft kit from Dragon, and what a fine one it is! In order to incorporate the installed cameras on the left and underneath, the fuselage has been completely retooled. The camera ports are made from transparent plastic in order to give an accurate appearance to their lenses. This high-quality kit is just brimming with detail, and modelers will find it fits together with consummate ease. Cartograf has also provided a selection of decal markings for modelers to finish off their Mustang masterpieces. This photo recon Mustang is ready to start clicking away!

Adaline’s terrifying visions bleed through from the past and become Daniela’s present-day nightmares.
Time for another jaunt into the old-house-with-creepy-past-in-a-small-town territory. I have to admit a certain fondness for this type of material and a reluctance to approaching any new entries in the formula. The former is for the simple fact that even the worst turkeys in this sub-genre (and there are quite a few) generally have at least a sufficiently creepy set design for the titular house. Rarely do you have the focus on a structure that resembles more of Fred Sanford’s junkyard home than Victorian manse. The latter stems from the likelihood, based on past viewing experience, that the trappings (script, direction, performance etc.) surrounding the building set will be, in short, a mess more often than not. It was something of a surprise that my latest view, Adaline, succeeds mostly in raising all of the elements to the same high quality in spite of its limited budget. Doesn’t quite succeed but gets an A+ for the game attempt.
Daniela is a young woman with a whole host of problems. She’s struggling as an artist financially, living with her actress best friend in San Francisco and waiting for her art show big break. She’s also dealing with her psycho ex-boyfriend and contemplating chucking it all and taking an advertising job a family member offered in Ohio. Sorting through a pile of mail she’s yet to open, Daniela comes across a letter from a law firm saying that an aunt of hers that she had little contact with has passed and left her a large house in the small town of San Andreas a few hours north of San Francisco (in Marin County actually).
On settling in, Daniela discovers a diary which tells a story of murder and betrayal in her family’s past. And she finds that the home comes complete with a restless ghost. Disturbing dreams, satanic rituals and a mysterious hunky neighbor with a secret of his own draw our heroine into a nightmare from which there seems to be no escape.
As a bay area resident myself and a fan of many a film that utilizes San Francisco and Northern California locations, I may show a bit of bias when a movie shoots in the city by the bay and surrounding environs. There are just too many gorgeous areas for filming and some perfect isolated and rustic milieus for just this type of chiller. Director Bidisha Chowdhry looks to have used about ninety percent of her budget toward actual location filming and it really helps cover up the small budget limitations.
In fact, aside from a few lighting effects and some camera bits for the flashback scenes, there are no costly visuals to soak up the bulk of the tiny cash reserves for this indie. Chowdhry seems to be taking a page from the M. Night Shyamalan playbook. If you’re doing a horror or fantasy picture that has any potential for silliness, make your primary use of whatever funds you have access to to making the movie look good. A glossy coat makes for a nice distraction from the nonsensical plot. The set design for the interior of the home used is impeccable down to the slightly weathered stain on the staircase railing. It appears to be obvious that the home is an existing one that was rented for filming. Still, not a single chair, antique or table top piece seems to be out of place within its walls. Adding to it, Chowdhry storyboards in such a way that every room is presented as having its own little tale to tell of the inhabitants who once resided there. This, in itself, lends a creepiness to events when you see the violent acts that took place within its walls.
In cinema entries such as this, one area that reviewers look immediately to for any potential problems is concerning the script. While I found the plot to be easily well-worn and predictable, I really had to chalk that up as much to my having seen a huge number of movies of this type as to any lack of imagination by Chowdhry (here serving dually as both writer and helmer). And, while the script is standard to form, it does refreshingly abstain mostly from any truly silly dialogue and clunky narrative structure (stock hallmarks of bad writing), and Chowdhry is able to shade some of the characters with backstory and depth. Notice the use of the word some and not all. Chowdhry definitely shows signs of her writing having a high upside but still a work in progress.
The biggest flaw and point of detraction for me in Adaline came mainly in the very mixed bag of performances by the unknown cast. While I found Jill Evyn quietly convincing and exuding a certain charm as Daniela, Emily Claeys’ deliberate, pause-heavy line readings as the best friend were tiresome and her work comes off ultimately as just a mite amateurish.
Lane Townsend as the neighbor John fares little better, completely lacking in energy and walking in stone-faced indifference throughout his scenes. Townsend does have a physical appeal in the male model variety and that may’ve gone far toward his casting here. Of the supporting cast, really, only Jeremy Walker shines as a local mentally-challenged young man named Marvin, whom Daniela befriends. In truth, he brought fond recollections from me of Giovanni Ribisi in The Other Sister from 1999 and Leonardo DiCaprio’s turn in What’s Eating Gilbert Grape? Walker manages just the right acting tics, facial expressions and movements to make a convincing interpretation of someone who is otherwise-abled and conveys a real sweetness that reaches to the audience. You end up rooting for him without even thinking much about it.
If you’re in the mood for the familiar ghost story centering around the typical spooky, decrepit mansion with the dark past, only added with a few new twists and a splash or two of modern paint, check out Adaline, an independent that escapes its financial trappings to become a nimble, well-upholstered chiller just ripe for late-night viewing.

Potato is a temperature crop which is being increasingly cultivated in the tropics in areas with high elevations and cool temperatures.
It is referred to as Irish potato to differentiate it from the sweet potato though it did not originate from Ireland.
It is regarded as a valuable vegetable and generally highly priced compared with other tuber crops because of its high cost of production and limited ecology in the tropics.
About 75% of the annual production of 500,000 tons in Nigeria comes from jos plateau.
It originated in the highlands of Peru and Bolivia in south America. Spanish explorers introduced it into Europe and it eventually became the staple food of the Irish. It spread to other parts of the world from Europe.
Potato is not a tropical crop. It is essentially a crop of cool moist regions and grows best in climates where cool nights alternate with warm days during the period of tuber formation.
It requires an optimal growing temperature between 15 and 21°C and a well a distributed rainfall over a period of 3 months and two weeks. It is relatively sensitive to frost.
Tuberisation is greatest when the soil temperature is 17°C; above this, tuber formation is totally inhibited.
Potato is responsive to day length. Long days, high temperatures and high nitrogen favor the heavy (vegetative) growth of the plant, while short days, cool temperatures or deficiency of nitrogen favor early tuberisation.
The crop can grown in a wide variety of soils but a well-drained soil is essential for good growth as it offers least resistance to the expanding tubers.
It can tolerate acidic conditions, down to pH 5.0.
In Nigeria, it is grown mainly in Jos plateau. It is also grown in Mambilla, Biu plateaux and areas in the country north of latitude 11° N.
In rainy and dry seasons, jos, Mambilla and Biu Plateaux satisfy the conditions for potato growth.
Most areas north of latitude 11°N satisfy this requirement during the harmattan months (November- February) only.
It is a tuber bearing herbaceous perennial but is treated as an annual under cultivation.
The aerial part of the stem is erect in the early stages of growth but later it becomes more spreading.
The underground portion of the stem is more or less rounded in the soil sending forth horizontal branches (stolons) that arisen from the axillary buds.
Adventitious roots are produced in groups of three or four at the nodes of the main underground stem as well as the stolons.
The tuber is the short greatly enlarged apical portion of the stolon, full of stored food.
Morphologically, it is a shortened thick stem bearing a group of buds protected by scale-like leaves which are eventually shed, leaving rudimentary leaf scars (eyebrows) or ridges.
Each ‘eye’ consists of a cluster of at least three buds lying in a slight depression, representing a lateral branch with under-developed internodes.
The ‘eyes’ arranged spirally around the tuber and are more crowded towards the apical end than towards the basal end of the tuber.
The size, shape and color of the tubers vary greatly, the most common colors being white, red, yellow or purple.
The skin may be smooth or rough and can be easily peeled off. The greater part of the proteins, minerals, tannins, cystals and pigment (in colored varieties) is localised in the outer layers of the cortex.
Deep peeling of potatoes should always be avoided as it removes the valuable nutritional ingredients.
The first few leaves few leaves developing from the ‘seed’ piece are usually simple but subsequent ones are compound.
The leaflets are more or less opposite and are densely hairy when when young but at a maturity the hairs are confined to the midribs and lateral veins.
The leaves ate spirally arranged on the main stem.
Flowers may or may not be produced, depending upon the variety, when present, they are borne in terminal clusters.
These include Diamant and ‘Up to date’. Pest and disease resistant cultivars include: RC 77J, VC 783-2, B 949 -3, RC 676-2, RC – 785-1 and VC 730-1
Cultivation is by use of ‘seed tubers‘ free from disease which are planted while it cut into sections or setts.
Large ‘seed potatoes’ are cut into several section, each having at least one complete ‘eye’.
They should be cut at right angles to the main axis to eliminate apical dominance.
Potatoes may be planted entirely by hand or by using a potato planter, generally on ridges 0.9m or 0.75m apart and spaced 20-30cm within the rows.
For the wet season crop which is dependent on rainfall, plant early in April/may when the rains become reliable.
The dry season crop is planted in November followed by irrigation.
Fertilizers application will depend on the fertility status of the soil; generally about 200-300 kg/ha NPK should be applied.
Weed control can be done manually at 3 and 7 weeks or the herbicide sencor 70 WP (Metribuzin) can be applied pre-emergence at the rate of 0.7kg a.I/ha.
Cupravit at 5.5kg/ha can also be applied to protect the crop against blight.
Potatoes are harvested at 3 months and some weeks after planting. Hand digging is still practiced but in agriculturally advanced countries, the crop is harvested mechanically.
Yields are generally small in the tropics; between 15-20 t/ha of tubers can be obtained.
Harvested tubers can be stored in a cool environment at about 4°C after washing out the soil.
They can be stored in dry form; dried and dehydrated potatoes retain all the ingredients originally present in the tuber with the exception of water.
Raw tuber contains 70-80% water, 17-18% starch, about 2% protein and 25mg% vitamin C.
Green potatoes contain a poisonous glucoside, solanin.
1. Fresh tubers are usually consumed after boiling, mashing, baking, frying or roasting. It can also be made into potato crisps or chips.
2. Potato flour (up to 4%) can be mixed with wheat flour for bread baking.
3. Starch can be extracted industrially from potatoes. Potato starch is used chiefly for sizing cloth and paper, in the laundry industry and in various food preparations.
4. It can be used for production if industrial alcohol by fermentation with yeast. For example, vodka, a Russian alcoholic beverage, is prepared by the fermentation of cooked potatoes.
5. The peels of potato tubers are rich in nutrients and can be usedbas livestock feed.
Most serious is potato blight caused by Phytophthora infestans and this can be controlled with fungicides; e.g ridomil MZ applied biweekly at 2.5 kg/ha.
Bacterial wilt is caused by Pseudomonas solanacearum and can be controlled by phytosanitary measures such as crop rotation and strict control of the seed potatoes used.
Agrotis spp. (cutworms) and the potato tuber moth (Phthorimacea operculella) are important pests.

New York City Mayor Eric Adams today announced the expansion of the Saturday Night Lights program to include 25 additional sites with an additional $1.25 million investment.
The Saturday Night Lights program provides safe and engaging activities for young people in underserved neighborhoods to have a fun and additionally provides a productive place to gather during traditionally high-crime times on Saturday evenings.
Young people can enjoy an array of indoor activities at 131 sites in all 5 boroughs, including basketball, soccer, volleyball, dance, martial arts, and more.
Saturday Night Lights is an interagency partnership through the New York City Police Department (NYPD), the New York City Department of Youth and Community Development (DYCD), the New York City Department of Education (DOE), and the New York City Department of Parks & Recreation, working with the city’s five (5) District Attorney’s Offices and community-based organizations that administer the programs.
“Saturday Night Lights is about changing lives and ensuring no young person is left behind,” said Mayor Adams. “We are building trust between the police, the community, and our youth, while lifting young people up in every borough throughout this city. And we’re proud to be expanding this program to reach even more young people in underserved neighborhoods where they can have a safe, fun, and productive place to gather and play sports. We are all in this together, and this is about giving young people another choice and keeping our city safe when crimes are most likely to be committed.”
“Saturday Night Lights is another hallmark of this administration’s investment and commitment to free, high-quality summer activities foryoung New Yorkers,” said Deputy Mayor of Strategic Initiatives Sheena Wright. “By bringing together local community based organizations and multiple agencies, this is a true collaborative process to make sure our young people have a fun, engaging summer.”
“Today marks another great step forward in putting New York City children first,” said NYPD Commissioner Keechant L. Sewell. “The Saturday Night Lights program is centered on enhancing youth development, building trust, and creating opportunities for young people in the communities, that need us most. Furthermore, it works to prevent violence by connecting with our youth before they might ever have a first encounter with the criminal-justice system. To that end — in close collaboration with the Mayor’s Office, the Department of Youth and Community Development, the Department of Education, the Parks Department, and all of our law-enforcement and community partners — we will continue to employ innovative efforts to keep every New York City neighborhood safe.”
“Ensuring our children have fun, free, and, most importantly, safe activities throughout the summer months is vital in keeping our youngest engaged and in building supportive and caring environments. Saturday Night Lights is an immensely valuable program, and I’m thrilled to see it being expanded over the next few months,” said DOE Chancellor David C. Banks. “I am grateful to all the community members and city workers for their dedication to facilitating this fantastic program, and look forward to the continued partnership between DYCD, NYPD, and the Department of Education in supporting New York City’s kids.”
“The expansion of Saturday Night Lights joins the unprecedented growth of the Summer Youth Employment Program and Summer Rising — a trifecta of investments prioritized by Mayor Adams supporting young people to keep them safe and engaged,” said DYCD Commissioner Keith Howard. “To raise awareness about the dangers of gun violence, Saturday Night Lights participants are ‘playing with purpose’ for DYCD’s ‘Not One More Shot’ campaign, as they enjoy basketball, soccer, volleyball, and other enrichment activities at gyms in all five boroughs. This truly will be a summer to remember for hundreds of thousands of young people in New York City.”
“This PAL Webster location is one of the first two we opened in the Bronx in 2019, and it has been a tremendous success. More than 60 youth actively participate here every weekend, in a positive environment,” said Bronx District Attorney Darcel D. Clark. “It began with basketball, but grew to offer mentoring opportunities, including driver’s education, tournament participation, restorative justice conversations, and life skills development. In July 2021, the Saturday Night Lights program expanded to 100 gyms across the city, with the Bronx getting 23 sites. The program gives children a safe, free indoor space to play, instilling teamwork, leadership, and a sense of community. Now we will be getting more sites in the Bronx and across the city, and I couldn’t be happier. I thank Mayor Adams for recognizing the value of Saturday Night Lights. Providing activities for our children starting at 11 years old will influence them in the formative years, leading them away from negative actions. I thank Commissioner Sewell for all the support from the NYPD. It is great to watch the kids interact with cops. It will go a long way in community partnership.”
Saturday Night Lights aims to activate underutilized spaces, build trust between law enforcement and communities, and help enable youth to develop the skills, knowledge, and meaningful relationships necessary to reach their fullest potential. A key component of the program is bringing law enforcement and young people together with teams of youth coordination officers from NYPD precincts. The officers coach and interact with participants to make a lasting and positive impact on their lives.
Gyms will be open Saturdays from 05:00 p.m. to 09:00 p.m. for seven (7) weeks in the summer (through August 20, 2022), and during the school year from September 10, 2022 through June 24, 2023.
Saturday Night Lights was launched at a single Harlem gym in 2011. For details on the initiative and to find a program, visit the Saturday Night Lights website here.
“Saturday Night Lights has supported the Police Athletic League to keep our youth safe during vital times on the weekend and build relationships between young people and the NYPD. We applaud Mayor Adams, DYCD, the DA’s offices, and all other partners for their continued support and commitment to such a vital program,” said Carlos Velazquez, executivedirector, Police Athletic League.
“Henry Street Settlement is honored and grateful to serve our community as a Saturday Night Lights location, offering safe, fun, and enriching athletics and recreation programming in spaces that are known and trusted to generations of youth on the Lower East Side,” said David Garza, president and CEO, Henry Street Settlement. “Having served as a Saturday Night Lights partner since the original pilot, we embrace the opportunity to open our doors even wider to young people who are seeking community as never before after several years of isolation and grief. The privations of the pandemic, coupled with recent gun violence that threatens the safety of our youth in a visceral and immediate way, have created an urgent need to revitalize our approaches and reinvest in our youth. Henry Street greatly appreciates the transformational leadership and partnership of the Mayor’s Office, the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office, the NYPD, DYCD, DOE, and Parks and Recreation in creating this important expansion.”
“At Partnership With Children, our programs focus on the mental health and well-being of the whole child. We commend Mayor Adams for providing added support to our youth and communities by opening up additional safe spaces for youth during the critical times of the summer when we have historically seen upticks in community violence,” said Wesner Pierre, CEO, Partnership With Children, Inc.

text: In the bagpipe world, I’m an advocate for teaching sight reading skills. As the bagpipe plays at one volume, it could almost be described as a rhythm instrument. When playing the bagpipe, all of the musical expression is accomplished by manipulating the rhythm patterns between the beats, making rhythm skills essential to good playing. I’ve said before that the purpose of any music lessons isn’t to become a lifetime student. Rather, the purpose of any kind of music lessons is to become an accomplished player. There are many benefits as a result of becoming accomplished at rhythm. The most important is being able to learn and develop your own music. Just this alone will decide the length of your bagpipe career. Bagpipers don’t quit because they don’t like the instrument anymore They quit because they are bored and tired of playing the “same old tunes”. Developing bagpipe technique: Everything from playing a grace note to executing a crunluath is rhythm based. Knowing how to use rhythm to practice these ornaments makes them happen sooner and with more precision. Climbing the Band Ladder: Pipe bands want people who can play and add value to their groups. They want people who can learn their own music. The one thing that holds many players back, in this instance, is the lack of rhythm skills. I’d like to invite you to take a few free video lessons. This will initiate you into a new world of skills. Let me know what you think. Watch the first video below and sign up for the program. It's free!

Shaquille O Nealhas as illustrious anNBA careeras one could wish for. The 4x NBA champion is widely regarded as one of the greatest and most unstoppable forces that the league has seen. There is no denying that no player could completely stop a prime Shaq.
Be that as it may, that does not always mean O Neal s team managed to win and avoid disappointing eliminations. Fans could argue that being swept and finding one s self unable to win a single game is a disappointing loss. With that being said, let us take a closer look at whether Shaq has ever been swept in the playoffs. After all, both the Conference Finals matchups seem to be heading in the same direction.
Shaquille O Neal has been swept from the NBA playoffs 6 times throughout his career
There is always an innate tendency to forget or overlook the failures of NBA legends. This makes sense considering that fans always want to propagate a narrative that their players are invincible. However, it turns out that even Shaquille O Neal s team has been swept 6 times in his 18-year career. That means he suffered a humiliating loss in the postseason for 33% of his career.
Many of these sweeps happened during the time O Neal spent with the Orlando Magic. Shaq was swept by Reggie Miller and the Indiana Pacers in 1994. The very next year, he made it all the way to the NBA Finals, just to get swept by Hakeem Olajuwon and the Houston Rockets. Yet again in 1996, he was swept by Michael Jordan and the Chicago Bulls.
In 1998, he failed to win a single game against John Stockton, Karl Malone, and the Utah Jazz in the Western Conference Finals. The following year, he was swept by Tim Duncan and the Spurs. Finally, O Neal lost 4-0 to the Bulls in the 2007 playoffs, albeit at the backend of his career.
This is in no way a slight at O Neal. After all, teams employed strategies such as Hack a Shaq in order to stop him. To those who do not know, that was a method of using substitute players to merely foul Shaq when he got the ball in order for him to earn his points at the free-throw line.
That, along with exploiting the other weak links to his game and his teammates is a reason why Shaq couldn t win a single game. Another important reason we shouldn t forget is the fact that he lost to teams with players fans consider legends today.

Legislation sponsored by Assemblyman Gary Schaer that would expand eligibility for medical parole for inmates who are physically incapacitated and do not pose a public safety threat received final legislative approval 22-10 by the Senate on Thursday and now heads to the governor’s desk.
Under current law, an inmate may be released on medical parole if he or she is suffering from a terminal condition, disease, or syndrome, which is defined as a prognosis that the inmate has six months or less to live. In addition, the inmate must be found to be so debilitated or incapacitated by the terminal condition, disease, or syndrome that he or she is permanently physically incapable of committing a crime if released on parole.
According to the Office of Legislative Services, there have been from zero to two medical paroles granted annually since 2010. However, the changes authorized in this bill may result in a larger group of individuals who may be eligible for medical parole, which could lead to reduced expenditures by the State Department of Corrections and county jails as a result of no longer incarcerating or providing medical care to individuals who will be granted medical parole.
Schaer’s bill (A-4337) would expand the eligibility of inmates for medical parole and require the inmate to enroll in Medicaid under certain circumstances.
“This is both a humane and cost-effective approach to incarceration,” said Schaer (D-Bergen/Passaic). “Those who would be eligible for parole under this bill are physically incapacitated and do not pose a threat to public safety. Releasing them from the confines of our prison system would save the state money by shifting the costs to Medicaid, which is funded in part by the federal government, and in turn enable them to get treatment in a more humane setting.”
Specifically, the bill would allow inmates who have a permanent physical incapacity to be released on medical parole, in addition to those suffering from a terminal condition, disease, or syndrome. Under the bill, a permanent physical incapacity is defined as a medical condition that renders the inmate permanently unable to perform activities of basic daily living, results in the inmate requiring 24-hour care, and did not exist at the time of sentencing.
Additionally, under the provisions of this bill, an inmate may only be released on medical parole for a permanent physical incapacity if it is determined that the conditions under which the inmate would be released would not pose a threat to public safety.
Under the bill, the board panel is required to release an inmate on medical parole if he or she meets the criteria designated under current law and the provisions of this bill. Also, the bill requires the board panel to state on the record the reasons for granting or denying medical parole.
Under current law, whenever an inmate is granted medical parole, the parole board panel is required to ensure, as a condition precedent to release, that the inmate’s release plan contain certain provisions, including verification of the availability of appropriate medical services sufficient to meet the inmate’s treatment requirements.
This bill requires the appropriate board panel to ensure that any inmate who is an applicant for medical parole has the opportunity to apply, and is provided necessary assistance to complete the application, for Medicaid prior to any determination of ineligibility for release as a result of the board panel’s inability to verify the availability of medical services, which would include Medicaid.
In addition, the bill provides that any inmate who is an applicant for medical parole is not to be denied enrollment into Medicaid on the sole basis that the applicant is an inmate in a correctional facility. If an inmate becomes enrolled in Medicaid while incarcerated, Medicaid payments would begin upon the inmate’s release from incarceration.
Finally, the bill establishes reporting requirements for medical parole. Under current law, the Parole Board is required to issue an annual report of its work to the governor, the legislature, and the Juvenile Justice Commission. Under the provisions of this bill, the report is required to include information regarding medical parole including, but not limited to, the number of inmates who applied for medical parole, the number of inmates who were granted medical parole, and the number of inmates who were denied medical parole.
The bill, which passed the Assembly last month, now heads to the governor’s desk.

“Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me.” (Psalm 23:4)
One of the most exciting verses in all of Scripture, at least for me, is always viewed as a Psalm for the mourning. It is recited at the graveside for those who have passed on in hopes of giving comfort to those left behind…BUT, if you read verse four and read it well, you will see an exciting and prophetic promise. The psalmist states, and I paraphrase, although I am WALKING through a dark place where there seems to be no life, I will not be afraid for the Lord my God goes with me. You see the psalmist speaks of movement, not taking up permanent residence in the valley. He is not embracing the darkness and setting up camp. Quite the contrary. He is walking, moving, forging through a dark and difficult place knowing that God is with him and that he has all the weapons he needs. He has his rod and his staff and most importantly the presence of God.
How many times do we find ourselves in dark places…in the valley and just resign ourselves to embracing the darkness? It could be a financial issue, a bad report from the doctor, or even an situation that seems impossible. The key is this, how do we respond when we begin to walk through this valley? Do we stop or do we move forward? I say we keep our eyes on the prize and move forward knowing that on the other side of every valley there is a mountaintop. Even though we walk through our valley, and climbing that mountain is rough, what a view from the top it will be. You see once we get to the top of our mountain, the valley seems kind of small. It gives us a Heavenly perspective of what we can accomplish in this earthly realm. From one mountain you not only see the valley but you can also see the other mountains that you have conquered. God means for us to move from glory to glory, and it is by faith that we keep on moving. Remember faith produces greater faith, and with greater faith comes greater victories.
May our Great God help us to keep moving and never stall in the midst of our valley.

Gunman Kills Six at Wisconsin Sikh Temple
An assailant shot and killed six people Sunday at a Sikh temple in Oak Creek, Wisconsin. The shooter was killed in a shootout with Oak Park police, in which he wounded a police officer.
Wade Page shot four people inside the temple and two outside. He then engaged in a gun battle with two members of the Oak Park police department, shooting one multiple times before he was killed by another.
Motivation for the incident was unclear, but the FBI is investigating it as an act of domestic terrorism. Page was apparently a member of a white supremacist band, and had been involved in the White Power movement.
In an interview with the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel, Manminder Sehti, a member of the temple, said one of the leaders of the temple, Parkash Singh, had been killed in the attack.
“He was a good guy, a noble soul,” Sehti said.
Sehti said that the temple was rarely closed, but that services are typically held on Sunday mornings.
“It’s like visiting your home. Your home is never closed,” Sehti said.
One of the temple’s committee members said he did not know the motive of the shooter.
“We have no idea,” said Ven Boba Ri. “It’s pretty much a hate crime,” he said, adding that the shooter was “not an insider.”
In a statement, President Barack Obama said he was “deeply saddened” by the attack, adding, “At this difficult time, the people of Oak Creek must know that the American people have them in our thoughts and prayers, and our hearts go out to the families and friends of those who were killed and wounded.”
Obama’s challenger, Mitt Romney, echoed the sentiment.
“This was a senseless act of violence and a tragedy that should never befall any house of worship,” Romney said. “We join Americans everywhere in mourning those who lost their lives and in prayer for healing in the difficult days ahead.”
FBI Special Agent in Charge Theresa Carlson said that the bureau was in the early stages of its investigation.
“We know our community has been deeply impacted by this incident, and our thoughts are with those affected and particularly with the officer who was wounded in the line of duty to protect others,” Carlson said.
Why Page specifically targeted Sikh worshipers was unknown. Sikhs have been targeted with hate crimes before, often by people who confuse them with Muslims, who themselves have faced hatred in the years since the September 11 attacks.†More information may be coming soon, as police raided Page’s home in Cudahy, Wisconsin on Sunday afternoon.
Police have stated that they believe Page acted alone, but they were seeking a person of interest in the case who, like Page, had a 9/11 tattoo. The white male was photographed taking pictures in the aftermath of the shooting.
The Sikh American Legal Defense and Education Fund issued a statement condemning attacks on any religion.
“Houses of worship, like the gurdwara, are places of peace. Attacks at any of the nationís houses of worship must be condemned by all Americans. This type of crime strikes at the very foundation of religious tolerance, the principle upon which this country was built.,” they said. “We thank our friends and neighbors from across the country for the outpouring of support and condolences as we come together to recover from the attack.”
The shooting was the second mass shooting in just over two weeks. On July 20, a gunman killed 12 people at a Colorado movie theater.

One of the most critical issues facing Nebraska and the 24th Legislative District is economic development. Nebraska must broaden the tax base and increase the number of taxpayers in order to continue to afford the services its citizens have come to expect from the state, schools, and local governments. The state needs to position itself in terms of its tax and regulatory structure so that existing businesses can grow, new entrepreneurial efforts are encouraged, and out-of-state businesses will benefit by locating in Nebraska.
The Nebraska Advantage Act passed by the legislature in 2006 and expanded in 2008, the significant tax reduction package passed during the 2007 session of the legislature, and a host of other smaller measures passed in this last session will help the economic environment of the state.
The legislature must also give local governments the tools necessary to enhance and expand their local economies. Local option sales tax dollars used for economic development and tax increment financing are critical to local economic development efforts. Local governments are their own best business recruiters. The state needs to give them the tools for economic development and be prepared to help.
The passage of my priority bill during the 2007 session of the legislature (LB 562) was a significant addition to Nebraska's community development statutes. It gives to every size of community in Nebraska an additional tool to enhance their retail and commercial base. Also during the 2007, the legislature passed a significant tax reduction package which, according to outside of the state economic development experts, puts Nebraska in a very favorable position to attract new business and create an environment conducive to the expansion of existing business.

Quebec environment minister booed from Montreal climate march
Protesters demanding more action on climate change from elected officials booed and insulted Quebec environment minister Benoit Charette Friday in Montreal while the minister was holding a press conference.
Thousands of protesters gathered for a climate march, including some who shouted "you are not welcome" and "out with the CAQ" toward the minister, who was accompanied by fellow provincial ministers Pierre Fitzgibbon and Chantal Rouleau to tout the government's record on the environment file.
The chaotic scene near the foot of Mont Royal eventually drove the minister away from Jeanne-Mance Park as the shouting continued. He was escorted by police away from the demonstration.
Before he was whisked away, he told reporters why he came to attend the march.
"We are here. We are proud of what we have done. We want to continue our work. We've done great things, but the work is not over," Charette.
University and CEGEP students were leading a protest and march at the park in an attempt to draw attention to the climate crisis in the midst of a provincial election campaign.
Organizers had invited party leaders to the march and told The Canadian Press they were welcome to attend "only if they endorse our demands."
"If you come, we want you to explain publicly that you endorse our demands and that you will support them. And if you don't, then, no, you are not welcome here," said François Geoffroy, a spokesperson for Mouvement La Planete, at the event.
They had two main demands: a transition away from reliance on fossil fuels by 2030 and tax increases on the 1 per cent.
Friday's march marked the end of Climate Week at the United Nations, where the secretary general called global inaction on climate change a colossal failure.
An Innu family made a 1,200-kilometre trek from their eastern Quebec community to denounce pollution affecting their lakes.
"Our lakes are contaminated. Our people used to be able to eat bear meat and fish, but not anymore," said Yan Dominic.
The event was part of the Fridays for Future Movement, an international, youth-led initiative inspired by Swedish activist Greta Thunberg, who led a massive protest in Montreal three years ago.
The organizer of the local march said not enough has changed since then.
"There are two parties that came with a clear plan validated by experts. The others, they didn't even manage to come up with that," said Geoffroy.
"Even those two parties are not up to the demands that we stand for and that we are here today to fight for. All parties must do more than what they are currently promising."
Friday's protest is one of several events that were planned across the province and around the world.

A News Ltd columnist who was depicted having sex with a dog in the ABC's political satire program The Hamster Decides has won a preliminary skirmish in his ongoing defamation battle with the broadcaster, with a judge finding the segment was capable of conveying "defamatory imputations".
But the judge also found that the segment did not convey the suggestion that the columnist was a "pervert who had sex with dogs".
Chris Kenny from the Australian newspaper is suing the ABC, The Hamster Decides presenter Andrew Hansen, and the show's production company, Giant Dwarf, over a segment which appeared on September 11 last year that dealt with media coverage of the federal election.
During the segment, described at length by Justice Robert Beech-Jones in the NSW Supreme Court on Thursday, an image was broadcast of a man strangling and having sex with a dog. A picture of Mr Kenny's face was then photoshopped onto the man's body. Shortly after this the image was shown again, accompanied by the caption "Chris Dog F---er Kenny" (the word was spelt out in full).
The image was shown in the context of comments by presenter Andrew Hansen about Mr Kenny's calls for a reduction in funding for the ABC in his columns and television appearances.
In a statement of claim filed with the court, Mr Kenny says the segment carried three defamatory imputations: that he was a pervert who had sex with dogs, that he was a "low, contemptible and disgusting person", and that his attacks on the ABC were "so disgusting that he deserved to be portrayed as a person who had sex with dogs".
The ABC had sought to have all three alleged imputations struck out, claiming that the ordinary, reasonable viewer was incapable of drawing the conclusions that Mr Kenny alleged.
A central feature of the broadcaster's argument was that The Hamster Decides was a comedy show and that the reasonable viewer could not possibly have taken anything the segment said or depicted seriously.
Justice Beech-Jones upheld this argument in relation to the first alleged imputation, stating that "the reasonable viewer could not possibly consider that such a lightweight show as this would be the forum for exposing bestiality".
However, he found that the other two imputations were capable of being made out, albeit with minor amendments to their wording.
In relation to the second imputation, Justice Beech-Jones described the image in question as "a massive exercise in ridicule which is vastly out of proportion".
"It's an image that's likely to stay in the mind of the ordinary reasonable viewer long after the program has finished, whether it's funny or not," he said.
The decision paves the way for the matter to proceed to a full hearing before a four-person jury, which will decide whether the segment was defamatory or not.

Abraham C, Badrinath S S. Sub-retinal neo-vascularisation. Indian J Ophthalmol 1983;31:176-8
Subretinal Neovascularisation (SRNV) is a clinical entity that has been recognised after the utilisation of fluorescein angiography in the study of chorioretinal diseases. The neovascularisation is from the chorio-capillaries which proliferate through a break in Bruch's membrane to beneath the retinal pigment epithelium. In this situation they can cause a retinal pigment epithelial detachment. They can also proliferate through the pigment epithelium to lie beneath the sensory retina causing a sensory retinal detachment. Subretinal neovascularisation can be idiopathic or associated with a variety of conditions. Central vision can be permanently impaired if subretinal neovascularisation invades the fovea. Left untreated they result in the formation of haemorrhages, exudates and fibrous tissue-the picture of a disciform macular degeneration. However, the natural history of this disease can be varied. The management consists of early recognition of this entity by fluorescein angiography, meticulous treatment by photocoagulation in selected cases and careful follow up.
| Materials and Methods|| |
28 eyes of 25 patients with subretinal neovascularisation seen at Sankara Nethralaya between June 1979 and June 1981 forms the basis of this study. 17 were males and 8 females. The youngest was 27 years and the oldest 78 years of age. Clinical examination consisted of recording the best corrected visual acuity for near and distance, indirect ophthalmoscopy, colour photography and fluorescein angiography of the fundus, Amsler charting and recording of colour vision was done in most of the cases. Argon Laser photocoagun lation was performed in 6 eyes and the Xenon arc in 3. A recent negative of the fluorescein angiogram showing the extent of the net in the arterio-venous phase was projected during the treatment. The fovea was always identified prior to commencement of treatment. Fluorescein ophthalmoscopy was also done in certain situations. A retrobulbar block was administered to most patients treated with the Laser and to all those treated with the Xenon. Heavy confluent coagulations using a spot size of 200 or 100 micron with a timing of 0.05 to 0.2 seconds were applied to the entire lesion after marking the foveal border of the lesion with a row of 50 micron burns. The 1.5 spot size was used while using the Xenon arc photocoagulator, the exposure time was set at 0.2; 0.3 or 0.5 seconds and the power adjusted to produce the desired heavy coagulations, The criterion for treatment was threat to foveal vision, Lesions which had invaded the fovea or were situated 300 micron or closer to the fovea were not treated. Treated patients were seen the next day and then after a week when colour photography and fluorescein angic. graphy were repeated. Patients who showed persistance of the lesion were re-treated. They were then seen after 3 months. 3 treated eyes have been followed up for more than 6 months, 3 between 2 and 6 months and the remaining for a month. 5 untreated eyes have been followed up for more than 6 months and 7 for a period between I and 6 months.
Most patients (22) presented with complaints of reduced visual acuity. 8 complained of metamorphopsia, 7 of scotoma., 2 of micropsia and I of diplopia. The duration of these symptoms was varied. Amsler charting showed 5 to have metamorphopsia, and 12 to have scotomas. While there was no consistent corelation between the patients' visual acuity and the findings in the macula and foveal invasion by subretinal neovascularisation, most of the patients where the fixation spot was involved as shown by Amsler charting had foveal involvement. Ophthalmoscopically subretinal neovascularisation presented as a central serous retinopathy in 11 eyes, senile disciform degeneration in 12 and as a Fuch's spot in 2. There was associated angioid streaks in 1, choroidal inflammation in 1, and in another subretinal neovascularisation had developed from a heavy xenon photocoagulation scar used to treat a central serous retinopathy. A careful examination revealed a dirty white or yellow membrane in the region of macula in 6 eyes. It was impossible to delineate the sub retinal neovascularisation on ophthalmoscopy alone. Fluorescein angiography was diagnostic in all cases. It showed typical early lacy hyper fluorescence in 13 eyes. The fluorescence was nodular or irregular in 1(). 3 eyes showed features of a leak as in central serous retinopathy.
A cartwheel pattern of hyperfluorescence was made out in 2 eyes and in another 2 it presented as a retinal pigment epithelial detachment, one of which showed a hot-spot within. 10 fellow eyes were normal on ophthalmoscopic examination. 5 showed whitish rounded lesions, 2 had senile macular degeneration, 2 drusen, and another 2 had central serous retinopathy.
Fluorescein angiography showed 4 fellow eyes to be normal. Retinal pigment epithelial defect were present in 6, subretinal neovascularisation in 4 and central serous retionpathy in 1.
| Results|| |
There was complete destruction of the sub-retinal neovascularisation in 7 eyes that were photocoagulated. The associated sensory retinal detachment settled rapidly. SRNV persisted in 1 while in another it progressed. The visual acuity had improved in 3, was maintained in 3 and deteriorated in 3. There was a bleed deep to the retina during photocoagulation in 1. This involved the fovea and was responsible for the drop in vision. In I eye vision deteriorated due to progression of subretinal neovascularisation and in another who did well, we are unable to account for the deterioration. 4 eyes showed improvement when tested with the Amsler chart. It was unaltered in I while 3 showed worsening. Colour vision had improved in 3, remained unaltered in 5 and worsened in 1.
The visual acuity in 9 untreated eyes was maintained. While none improved, 3 deteriorated. Amsler charting showed worsening in 3 while colour vision was maintained in 3. Fluorescein angiography showed no progression of the lesion in 3 eyes while a regression was observed in 1.
| Discussion|| |
Fluorescein angiography is indispensable in the management of subretinal neovascularisation. It is not only diagnostic but also aids in deciding whether to treat a patient or not. The adequacy of photocoagulation can be judged only by fluorescein angiography. Photocoagulation seems to have a definite role in treating subretinal neovascularisation. It not only destroys the lesion and prevents its spread to the fovea but also helps in resolution of the accompanying sensory retinal detachment, blood and exudates. As inadequate photocoagulation acts as a stimulus to progression of subretinal neovascularisation, treatment should be complete, as described. The most important factor is the decision to photocoagulate or not. Once we decide to treat we should treat adequately. The best chance of attaining success in treatment is the first session of photocoagulation. Dangers of foveal damage and damage to the nerve fibre layer should be constantly borne in mind and the risk-benefit ratio carefully evaluated before embarking on treatment. Our visual results are quite gratifying. We believe that treatment was responsible for the improvement in vision in 3. The 3 eyes maintained vision without treatment. In only 1 eye was photocoagulation directly responsible for the reduction in vision. The 9 untreated eyes which maintained the same vision, were eyes where the fovea was already involved. 3 had deteriorated further. Improvement in Amsler charting in 4 treated eyes is also significant as patients are quite troubled by scotomas and metamorphopsia. The worsening in 2 is most likely due to photocoagulation while in another, progression of subretinal neovascularisation. It is quite interesting to note that repeat angiogram in untreated eyes showed no progression in 3 and regression in 1. These eyes will be followed up periodically to see how the natural course of the disease runs. In our limited experience of using both the Laser and the Xenon in dealing with subretinal neovascularisation, we feel both are as good. The disadvantages of the Xenon are however serious and are as follows:
i) With the minimal settings possible on the machine, one could still get an undesirably heavy burn.
ii) The field of view is so small particularly when choosing the smallest aperture of 1.5° and this makes foveal identification extremely difficult. It is also difficult to judge distances from the fovea and corelate land-marks seen on the angiogram. Thus good experience and considerable skill are needed to deal with this situation.
| Summary|| |
The ophthalmoscopic and fluorescein angiographic features of subretinal neovascularisation in 28 eyes of 25 patients are described. The technique of Argon Laser and Xenon arc photocoagulations, the results of treatment, the role of fluorescein angiography and photocoagulation in the management of subretinal neovascularisation are discussed.

Days after the 2020-2021 school year ended, the KIS campus was busy again! Construction crews arrived to begin remodeling a few areas to better serve the school community. Learning continued on campus too!
Because pandemic restrictions in South Korea make travel abroad a challenge, many KIS families elected to enjoy the break in country. KIS responded by offering a summer program open to all grade levels. The elementary day camp experience centered on outdoor exploration and play. Middle school students exercised their creativity and problem solving skills as robot engineers and filmmakers. High school students took the opportunity to earn math course credit or supplement their academic and lab skills. When the summer camp students return to campus for the 2021-2022 school year, they’ll see some changes!
The most prominent changes on the KIS campus are to the main entrance and an elementary outdoor space. First steps on campus matter. For KIS students arriving by private vehicle, the main entrance just opened up to eliminate crowding and streamline student traffic. Waiting areas with cafe seating will give parents a comfortable place to meet once campus opens to more visitors. KIS is excited to create spaces that encourage conversation.
The elementary outdoor space redesign began as a grade two and grade five design project a couple of years ago. Students dreamed, researched, and created plans to submit to KIS administration. Those first ideas seeded plans made by architects and the KIS facilities team. The final design honors the different ways children play, providing activity areas that promote movement, coordination, cooperation, creation, and reflection. The elementary outdoor space redesign models KIS’s commitment to applied learning.
Now KIS readies for the 2021-2022 school year, glad for the full summer and excited for the learning ahead!

The landscapes, the culture, the festivals are just some of the inspiring subjects you will find in Japan.
Here are 20 amazing images that prove it’s one of the most beautiful countries in the world.


The alliance of Paul Heyman and Roman Reigns has been one of the best moves from WWE and they have been a dominant force in the company. Heyman certainly elevated the status of Reigns in the company and he has reached heights of success since his return last year. The alliance has now completed a year and Heyman is overwhelmed with the fact.
Paul Heyman and Roman Reigns made a huge alliance last year
Roman Reigns had returned last month at SummerSlam pay-per-view, attacking the former WWE stars Braun Strowman and Bray Wyatt during their match for the WWE Universal Championship. With his actions, ‘The Tribal Chief’ made a statement that he wants the title around his waist.
It was soon revealed that Paul Heyman and Reigns have formed an alliance and they soon started ruling the blue brand. The alliance immediately had its effect as Roman Reigns captured the WWE Universal Championship at Payback pay-per-view.
Since then, nobody has been able to dethrone ‘The Head of The Table’. He has successfully defended his title against some top-drawer stars including Daniel Bryan and most recently John Cena in the main event of SummerSlam.
Paul Heyman sends an emotional message to Roman Reigns
On the first anniversary of their alliance, Paul Heyman has sent a very special message to his Tribal Chief.
Heyman sent out the following tweet, claiming that he was rescued by Roman Reigns. He went on to speak highly about the Universal Champion before ending with a bold statement that they have just begun:
“EXACTLY 1 YEAR AGO, I was rescued by @WWERomanReigns. In the 52 weeks that have transpired since then, the #TribalChief has redefined the medium, disrupted the status quo and [sic] titled the axis of what it means to be THEE top superstar in @WWE … and we’ve only just begun!”
You can check out the Tweet below:

Paul Heyman has a decision to make
It was Roman Reigns who seemingly saved Heyman after Brock Lesnar departed the company. But, shockingly enough ‘The Beast’ made his return at SummerSlam pay-per-view and had a staredown with Reigns and they are likely to collide for the title soon.
Heyman was previously the on-screen ‘advocate’ of Lesnar and we will see whose side he ends up choosing. But as of now, he is remaining on the side of Roman Reigns.

All stories have a beginning…
Long ago, the inhabitants of Calamia and the demons had been at war, a constant bloody struggle that waged for centuries. No one knows or even remembers where the sole tear between worlds opened. All that anyone can remember is when the demons came and the scars they had left upon the world and people of Calamia. Many tales have been told as to how the war began, but only the Gods themselves could tell which of those tales is true. This tale is one of them – told by bards and historians alike.
It was on a dark and stormy summer night in the fabled Kingdom of Alexandria. While the citizens rested and slept peacefully within the safety of their grand city, the colossal demon army stormed the gates and swept across the city. In lead of this demonic army was the most terrible beast of all, a demon that called himself Jeremas. Within a night, what had once been a thriving and technologically advanced Kingdom became nothing more than ruins. For miles the tormented screams of the people of Alexandria could be heard – men, women, children slaughtered without mercy – the demons took no prisoners.
After the desolation had taken place in Alexandria, Jeremas and his army continued to move onward, like a plague, obliterating all life that crossed their path. With no knowledge on how to fight these creatures and the sheer size of their force, it took only six months for the continent of Tresvath to fall to the demons. The destruction did not end there. Jeremas wanted to destroy all of mankind, and anyone else that got in his way. So his war continued onto new lands.
The demon army spread onward and attacked nations that allied with the humans: the elsyven, dwarves and kojin. Though many of these races had fallen during the first wave, so many more were lost. The people of Calamia did the only thing they could, retreat to the underground. With what remaining resources the humans had, along with their allies, they began the construction of a city deep within the earth. This city became known as Yvaltris.
Much to Jeremas’ dismay, he was never able to find Yvaltris. This deepened his madness, which drove wedges into his own military. His once structural and organized leadership began to crumble beneath him. He began making mistakes.
After years of hiding in the depths of the underground, the allied people of Yvaltris began to prepare for war. This time, with knowledge of their enemy and their tactics, and research into deep arcane magics. They sent small groups to destroy demon holdings, supply chains, scouting parties, and small squadrons. The Alliance poked holes into Jeremas’ formations, and began to drive the Demon Lord mad.
Five warriors helping to lead these attacks began to grow in strength, and some even said that the Gods had blessed them. These five warriors were Athon, Defender of Yvaltris; Sirame, the Divine Sorceress; Zeiros, the Wise; Nabuka, the Mighty Dwarven Lord of Gemfire Keep; and Ural, Priestess of Drasnia.
The two forces fought against one another for many years. Eventually the Yvaltris Alliance managed to break through the demon defenses, allowing the five warriors to attack the very heart of the demonic forces: the great Lord Jeremas.
The heroes combined their powers as one, and through the use of two magical artifacts, God’s Eye and Soul Rune, Jeremas was sealed away. After 43 years of war and struggling, the people of Calamia had finally defeated the demons.
However, that was not the end.
With Jeremas gone, the demon army went into disarray. The struggle for power within their own ranks eventually led to dissent, separation, and war among themselves. The demons began turning on one another within the first month of Jeremas being sealed. The people of Calamia used this opportunity and began a crusade to destroy the demons. As the demons were pushed back and out of the lands of Auraton, people began reconstructing their towns and cities lost during the war. This time period became known as the Recovery, and has lasted for eleven years. It was at this time period that the people gave a new name to Jeremas, in fears that saying his very name gave him power. Daishevar – the accursed one.
Arising along with the Recovery came a new kind of man. Demon Slayers. These men dedicated their lives in hunting down demons, and were highly praised for their efforts. By the end of the Recovery period, the demons that hadn’t gone into hiding had been reduced to small legions, war bands, and raiding parties. These bands were lead by various ambitious demons wanting nothing more than to continue what their former lord started, and conquer land for their own.
There was one demon in particular that worried the Alliance. Gornaz Treimavu. Gornaz was known to have led the powerful Athdraki during the War of Daishevar, and was believed to possibly have been the greatest general under Jeremas. It was reported that he had went missing several years before the war’s end.
Though not a solid force as before, the demons still posed to be a threat. Zeiros, one of the last remaining five heroes, took it as his sole responsibility to fight against the new demon forces. After several years of hunting the demons, he was later seen accompanied by a boy going by the name of Ryden Ducreinon, who was Zeiros’ new apprentice. Ryden indeed proved to be a magnificent warrior, he and Zeiros becoming a force to be reckoned with. Then one dark night, Zeiros mysteriously vanished, leaving Ryden to fight alone.
Ryden continued to wage war against the demons. Countless demons had fallen to his blade, and eventually he earned the title Demon Slayer. By his hand the demon forces were reduced more than half their numbers. After years of hunting the beasts, Ryden decided to partake in a quest to destroy the very source behind the demons. Ryden disappeared during his quest, never to be seen again.
Ryden became known as the Legendary Demon Slayer for his many heroic exploits. Many have in fact become a demon slayer because of his legend, or have died trying. Yet as time passed, the war, the demons, and demon hunters alike, slowly started to fade away.
As with all history the new generations replaced the old, time moved on. Yet all people know peace is a fleeting thing. There were new hardships to face, and people began to war over lands. Nations grew, fell, and the races of Calamia continued on, building over the ashes.
It has been 1328 years since the end of the War of Daishevar – a time that is now nothing more than a fairy tale of horrors and heroes long since past. Demons are the things of imagination, and many believe they never existed in the first place. Some know of these horrors, though, and tell others to be warned – that the demons will return again one day to try and finish what they had begun.
Today, there are more trying things for the people of Calamia to worry over. War had come to Calamia once again, humans fighting against fellow humans for power and dominance. The kingdom of Graishine denounced their connection with the Holy Lands of Valdurial, and declared war on the kingdom of Rashnal. For many years Rashnal had kept Graishine at bay, though as the war between the two kingdoms continues on the scales seem to be tipping slowly in Rashnal’s favor.
Yet the war has not touched much of Rashnal’s lands further from the borders. The city of Rionia itself is still a bustling metropolis of trade and racial diversity. Smaller villages hear stories of war from merchants and passing bards, and may have family serving in the military – but otherwise see nothing out of the ordinary in their lives.
And so the story of Calamia continues…

Good Protection, comfortable and light23 January 2018This is basically a firm fitting stretchy riding jersy with pockets sewn in for armour. Armour is good. Elbow and Shoulder pads very solid. Back and chest protector are multiple layers of 5mm ultra high density foam. Armour is easy to remove for washing the shirt but a bit tricky to get it all back in, especially the elbow guards. With just a jersy over the top it breaths OK, but in warm weather with a jacket over it the back protector doesn't breathe that well so you end up with a wet back. It will be interesting to see how the shirt holds up after multiple uses and washes. It is very comfortable, light and not too bulky.
