LONDON: The Centre of South Asian Studies at the University of Cambridge has released a short film of a remarkable story of a daring World War II operation in which hundreds of people fleeing the Japanese advance through Burma were rescued by elephant. Letters, diaries and amateur films shot during the expedition, which was organised by a British tea planter called Gyles Mackrell, will be examined in detail following their donation to the Centre of South Asian Studies.This short film, chronicling the epic rescue mission and using the footage that Mackrell took himself, explains how, amid the chaos of the British retreat from Burma early in 1942, the tea planter mounted an operation to save refugees who were trapped by flooded rivers at the border with India using the only means available to get them across elephants.Gyles Mackrell was 53 when, in January 1942, the Japanese invaded British-held Burma. He had spent most of his life in Assam, where he was working as an area supervisor for Steel Brothers, a firm exporting tea.
The collection at Cambridge has been donated by Mackrell’s niece and an independent researcher, Denis Segal. It includes not just his films and diaries, but papers and accounts by some of those who were rescued.Underscoring the importance of the collection, Dr. Kevin Greenbank, archivist at the Centre of South Asian Studies, where the collection will be housed, said in a media release: “The story is a sort of Far Eastern Dunkirk, but it has largely been forgotten since the war. Without the help of Mackrell and others like him, hundreds of people fleeing the Japanese advance would quite simply never have made it – App

Truncus Arteriosus (TA)
What is truncus arteriosus?
Truncus arteriosus is a heart defect that is present at birth (congenital). It happens when there is an abnormal connection between the aorta and pulmonary artery. Normally, the aorta and the pulmonary artery are separate. In truncus arteriosus, both the aorta and pulmonary artery begin from a common blood vessel.
Another congenital heart defect that nearly always happens with this condition is a ventricular septal defect (VSD). This is an abnormal hole in the wall (septum) between the two lower chambers of the heart (right and left ventricles).
In truncus arteriosus, oxygen-poor (blue) and oxygen-rich (red) blood mix through the VSD. The mixed blood that goes to the body does not have as much oxygen as it should.
What causes truncus arteriosus?
Some congenital heart defects may occur more often in certain families. These are called genetic defects. Truncus arteriosus is often seen in babies born with 22q11.2 deletion syndrome. But in most cases, the cause is not known.
What are the symptoms of truncus arteriosus?
Symptoms of truncus arteriosus include:
- Blue color to skin, lips, and nails (cyanosis)
- Problems breathing
- Poor feeding or eating
- Tiredness (fatigue)
- Enlarged liver
- Extreme sleepiness
The symptoms of truncus arteriosus can be like other health conditions. Have your child see their healthcare provider for a diagnosis.
How is truncus arteriosus diagnosed?
A prenatal ultrasound may show truncus arteriosus. Your child's healthcare provider will check your child after birth. They may find signs like a pounding heart and weak pulse. They may hear an abnormal heart sound (heart murmur) when listening to your baby's chest with a stethoscope. If they do, you may have been referred to a pediatric cardiologist for a diagnosis. This is a healthcare provider with special training to diagnose and treat heart problems in babies and children.
These specialists will also examine your baby. They will listen to their heart and lungs with a stethoscope. Your baby may have other tests, including:
- Pulse oximetry. A probe placed on your child's finger or toe can measure the oxygen level. Low levels may mean a diagnosis of truncus arteriosus.
- Chest X-ray. This shows the overall size and shape of the heart and lungs. It may show signs typical of truncus arteriosus.
- Electrocardiogram (ECG). An ECG records the electrical activity of the heart. It shows abnormal rhythms, and finds heart muscle stress.
- Echocardiogram (echo). An echo uses sound waves (ultrasound) to make a moving picture of the heart and heart valves. An echo shows the truncus arteriosus.
- Cardiac catheterization. This gives very detailed information about the structures inside the heart. Your baby will be given medicine to relax (sedation). The healthcare provider will put a thin, flexible tube (catheter) into a blood vessel in the groin. It is then moved to the heart. They will take measurements of blood pressure and oxygen in the heart chambers. The pulmonary artery and aorta will also be checked. Contrast dye is also injected to let the provider more clearly see the structures inside the heart.
How is truncus arteriosus treated?
Treatment will depend on your child’s symptoms, age, and general health. It will also depend on how severe the condition is.
Truncus arteriosus must be treated with surgery to fix the defects. Typically surgery needs to occur during the first few days or weeks of life. But your child may need medical support until it is time for the operation to take place. Support may include:
- Medicines to help the heart pump better.
- A device (noninvasive positive pressure ventilation) to help make breathing easier. Some children may need mechanical ventilation.
Nutritional support may include:
- Special nutritional supplements. These may be added to formula or pumped breastmilk to increase calories.
- Tube feedings. These are given through a small, flexible tube that passes through the nose, down the esophagus, and into the stomach. These feedings may be added to or take the place of bottle-feedings. Infants who can drink part of their bottles, but not all, may be fed the rest through the feeding tube. Infants who are too tired to bottle-feed may get their formula or breastmilk through the feeding tube alone.
Surgery is often done in the first few weeks after birth to prevent lung damage. The pulmonary arteries are separated from the aorta and reattached to the right ventricle. The pulmonary arteries may be reattached directly to the right ventricle typically using a conduit. The ventricular septal defect is also closed. Your child will stay in the hospital until after the surgical repair.
What are possible complications of truncus arteriosus?
If not treated, truncus arteriosus may cause complications, such as:
- Lung damage
- Heart failure
- Infection of the lining of the heart and heart valves (bacterial endocarditis)
- Poor growth and development
- Diminished ability to function
- Easily tired
Living with truncus arteriosus
Soon after surgery, babies have more energy and start to eat better and gain weight faster. But your baby may need high-calorie formula for several weeks or months after surgery. Your baby may also need tube feedings until they are able to feed better.
Your baby may become tired easily, and sleep more right after surgery. But in a few weeks, they should be fully recovered.
You may get other instructions from your child's cardiac team and the hospital staff.
Most children who have had truncus arteriosus surgical repair will live healthy lives. Their activity levels, appetite, and growth will often return to normal. Talk with your child's cardiologist about what activities and sports are safe for your child.
Your child most likely will need more surgery and/or cardiac catheterization procedures as they grow. Surgery in young adulthood may also be needed. These surgeries may involve replacing valves, repairing a narrowed aorta or pulmonary arteries, or replacing conduits.
The cardiologist may advise that your child take antibiotics before surgery or dental procedures. This is to prevent infection in the lining of the heart and heart valves (bacterial endocarditis).
Your child will need regular follow-up care at a pediatric or adult congenital cardiac care center throughout life.
Talk with the cardiologist about your child’s outlook.
When should I call my child's healthcare provider?
Call your child's healthcare provider if your child has trouble breathing or feeding, or develops new symptoms.
Key points about truncus arteriosus
- Truncus arteriosus happens when there is an abnormal connection between the aorta and pulmonary artery.
- It causes oxygen-poor (blue) blood and oxygen-rich blood to mix and to be pumped to the body. This causes blue skin, lips, or nails (cyanosis).
- The low levels of oxygen may not be enough to meet the body's needs and sustain life.
- The condition must be treated with surgery. Most children who have surgery will live healthy lives.
- Your child will need regular follow-up care with a pediatric cardiologist.
Tips to help you get the most from a visit to your child’s healthcare provider:
- Know the reason for the visit and what you want to happen.
- Before your visit, write down questions you want answered.
- At the visit, write down the name of a new diagnosis, and any new medicines, treatments, or tests. Also write down any new instructions your provider gives you for your child.
- Know why a new medicine or treatment is prescribed and how it will help your child. Also know what the side effects are.
- Ask if your child’s condition can be treated in other ways.
- Know why a test or procedure is recommended and what the results could mean.
- Know what to expect if your child does not take the medicine or have the test or procedure.
- If your child has a follow-up appointment, write down the date, time, and purpose for that visit.
- Know how you can contact your child’s healthcare provider after office hours. This is important if your child becomes ill and you have questions or need advice.

Will feeding flax to my laying hens increase omega-3 in their eggs?
L.R.MinnesotaAnswer: Flaxseed is a good source of omega-3 fatty acids. Flax (Linum usitatissum) is usually grown in the upper Midwest for the oil extracted from the seed. The oil is referred to as linseed oil and is used in paint manufacture and other uses. The remaining product is referred to as linseed meal. Linseed meal is also a valuable livestock feed. It is used as a protein supplement, since the protein content of linseed is around 35 percent.The article “Flax Has Potential in Livestock, Poultry and Pet Diets” discusses feeding whole or ground flaxseed at 15 percent of the ration to layers in order to increase the level of omega-3 fatty acids in the egg from 1 percent to more than 5 percent. There are several commercial companies that produce omega-3 fatty-acid-enriched eggs, several of which are discussed in the articles listed below. Several sample diets are shown in the resource materials.The resources below also include an “Assessment of Market Opportunities for Omega 3 Eggs,” with research funded by the Agriculture Utilization Research Institute in Minnesota.Resources:Anon.

Some 20 Good Samaritan Sisters from various communities throughout Australia travelled to Lawson in New South Wales last month to celebrate the eightieth birthday of their long-time friend and ministry colleague, Father Arthur Hackett.
A priest of the Port Pirie Diocese, Father Hackett is known to many Good Samaritan Sisters who have ministered in South Australia over the last 50-plus years, but particularly among those who worked in the Whyalla Stuart community where he was parish priest for about 25 years.
Sister Jill O’Brien said the birthday celebration on July 24 was also an opportunity to pay tribute to Father Hackett and to give thanks for all he had been to the sisters over many years.
“[The gathering] was a mark of much love and respect and gratitude,” she said.
In 1974, Jill was the first of a number of sisters to work with Father Hackett at Whyalla Stuart, then a fast-growing housing trust suburb of Whyalla. But significantly, Jill was the first from her congregation, and among the first women religious in Australia, to become a “parish sister”, these days known as a parish pastoral associate.
“It was the beginning of a whole new movement,” she said.
“They were extraordinary times in the Church. It was the 1970s; the new liturgical rites were coming out [the Rite of Reconciliation and the Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults]… and we made the liturgy our focus. We said that that’s how we’d spend our energy because that was when we met the people… So we had to do that as well as we could.”
Jill said this new ministry experience at Whyalla Stuart was “very collaborative”.
“It wasn’t just, I did my thing, he did his thing and the other priest did his. We worked together. That was a wonderful experience. As I look back on it I know now it’s a fairly rare event.”
According to Jill, Father Hackett was widely loved and respected by the people of Whyalla Stuart, many of whom were new migrants who had flocked to the area to work at the BHP’s burgeoning Whyalla steelworks.
“They loved him. He had respect for people’s knowledge. He respected people tremendously. He would make it his business to know people by name,” she said.
“[Today] there’s a lot of dissatisfaction about things in the Church. They were halcyon days in many ways, I think, full of promise and good things happening.”

A New Look at Domestication: The Role of Oxytocin in Wolves’ and Dogs’ Social Relationships with Conspecific and Human Partners
The aim of the current project was to assess whether, as has been suggested by some researchers, dogs’ docility compared to that of wolves’ may be due to a changes in their endocrinological system (higher oxytocin and lower glucocorticoid levels) during the course of domestication. To answer this question we conducted 3 studies comparing wolves and dogs at the Wolf Science Centre, where they are raised and kept in a similar manner. Differently from what is expected based on these ideas, we found that without prior stimulation, dogs showed higher cortisol levels than wolves, and male dogs also seemed to show higher oxytocin compared to all other groups.
When interacting with people they know well, neither dogs nor wolves showed an increase in oxytocin. But this increase was evident in pet dogs, suggesting that the type of upbringing and relationship with people is a key component in these studies. We also found that in general dogs were more inclined to interact with people they did not know well than wolves, but this was also associated with high cortisol responses, and more behaviours such as licklicking which may be a sign of stress or appeasement. In the final study at the WSC we compared wolves’ and dogs’ behaviour and hormonal response (oxytocin and cortisol) when engaging in pack-activities (territorial defence and howling) and when separated from their pack mates. The behaviours between dogs and wolves were largely similar, but, in line with wolves’ being more dependent on their pack mates in the wild, they showed a significant increase in cortisol levels following separation from their pack mates. Furthermore, territorial defence in wolves positively correlated with both oxytocin and cortisol levels, whereas in dogs, they correlated positively only with cortisol levels. These results may suggest that territorial behaviours increase pack cohesiveness in wolves, through oxytocin release, which would be in line with the more prominent role that inter-pack conflicts play in the socio-ecology of wolves.
At the Clever Dog, we developed a stress-free method of administrating OT involving the use of a vaporizer mask, and observed that indeed compared to delivery of placebo, the use of the mask significantly increased OT levels as measured in urine. This method was more effective than the standardly used intranasal spray. Using this method we investigated whether OT would affect how dogs synchronize their behaviour to the owners and the attention they give the owner when s/he is engaging in a task.
We found that dogs that showed an increase in their oxytocin levels spent more time in proximity to their owner and looking at their owner, supporting the role of oxytocin in modulating dogs’ human-directed social behaviours. We also conducted two other studies to look at whether OT affects contagious yawning with the owner and social attention, but results are still being elaborated.

1. Explain the title of the short story The Fly.
Ans: The title of the story The Fly is given symbolically. Mansfield wants to show the helplessness and wretchedness of the Boss through the helplessness of the fly in the cruel hand of superpowers. The Boss plays the role of the Fate or Destiny of the fly. He inflicts pain to the fly to enjoy pleasure. We, human beings, are also the playthings to the hand of Fate. God kills us when he wishes to do so as the Boss’s son died in a very premature age. Thus the symbolic title is just and appropriate.
2. Who is Mr Woodifield? What is the physical condition of Mr Woodifield at the time when the story The Fly opens?
Ans: Mr Woodifield is one of the characters of Katherine Mansfield’s story The Fly. He was one of the friends of the Boss.
At the beginning of the story, we see him an old man, weak and feeble because of his age and also for he had suffered from a stroke a few months earlier. He was not permitted to go out of the home on any day except on Tuesday.
3. What role does Mr Woodifield play in the story The Fly?
Ans: Mr Woodfield is an ‘everyman’ in this material world. He serves as a foil to the Boss. He came to the Boss and sharpened his nature to reveal his psychology. It is he who went to the Boss and reminded him of his son’s death and disturbed his hidden sorrow.
4. Give your impression of the Boss.
Ans: The Boss had a stout and rosy stature. He was a successful and prosperous businessman. The Boss was also a gentleman of dignity and personality. He was also perfectly hospitable and polite. But he had a great shock in his heart which he had suppressed.
5. In what did the Boss take pride? What did he like?
Ans: The Boss took pride in his office room, which was well furnished with all the latest amenities of life. The Boss liked his office room to be admired, particularly by old Woodfield, because it gave him a sense of success, a sort of superiority over the latter. He liked his friend to feel humiliated from the standpoint of material gain.
6. Describe the office of the Boss.
Ans. The Boss decorated his office with expensive items to make it look cosy. There was a comfortable green-leather armchair in the chamber of the Boss. The floor was covered with a bright red new carpet with a pattern of large white rings. There was also new furniture- the massive bookcase, the table with legs like twisted treacle. The Boss also showed to Woodfield to the electric heating that he bought lately.
7. The fly was dead.”- When was the fly dead?
Ans: The fly was dead when the Boss dropped ink on it for the third time. When the Boss caused the first drop of ink on its new-cleaned body only to test its power of endurance, the fly struggled hard to escape and get rid of the sudden danger. Even it escaped for the second time. But when the Boss gave the third drop, it failed to endure the struggle as it went beyond its capacity. It died.

The High Court of Australia has this morning delivered reasons for orders it made in June 2018 dismissing two appeals from the West Australia Court of Appeal.
In Mighty River International Ltd v Brian Hughes and Daniel Bredencamp as Administrators of Mesa Minerals Ltd  HCA 38 the DOCA in question inter alia provided for a moratorium on creditors’ claims, required the Administrators to conduct further investigations and report to creditors concerning possible variations to the Deed within 6 months, and provided that no property of Mesa Minerals be made available for distribution to creditors.
In Mighty River’s appeal to the High Court, it essentially made two submissions –
- The DOCA was not valid principally because it was an agreed extension of time not ordered by the Court under s 439A(6) and was contrary to the object of Part 5.3A, and
- The DOCA should have been declared void under s 445G(2) for contravening ss 438A(b) and 439A(4), or s 444A(4)(b), or both.
A slim majority of the High Court disagreed. The majority (Kiefel CJ, Edelman J and Gageler J) held that –
- The Deed was a valid deed of company arrangement. It was formally executed, and created and conferred genuine rights and duties. It did not involve an impermissible sidestepping of s 439A(6); the effect of extending the time for investigations by the Administrators was only incidental to the purpose of the DOCA (at the hearing there was some criticism from the bench of the use of the term “holding DOCA”). The moratorium was consistent with the object of Pt 5.3A, and
- The Deed was not required to be declared void under s 445G(2). Section 444A(4)(b) did not require the Deed to specify some property to be available to pay creditors’ claims, and the Administrators had formed and expressed the opinions required by s 438A(b) and, at the relevant time, s 439A(4).
In dissent their Honours Nettle and Gordon JJ took the view that in substance, the Deed did no more than purport to extend the administration of the Company (at ).

Plant pathogens cause extensive disease resulting in considerable crop loss. This reduction in yield represents a major threat to food security and significantly contributes to malnutrition suffered by more than one billion people. A more complete understanding of the molecular mechanisms regulating plant innate immunity is necessary to inform rational strategies for engineering disease resistant crops. One devastating disease of Zea mays (corn) is caused by the fungal pathogen Cochliobolus carbonum. Intriguingly, the main determinant of C. carbonum virulence is a histone deacetylase inhibitor (HDACi) termed Hc-toxin. How Hc- toxin actually promotes virulence is not known. Additionally, HDACi, including HC-toxin, are being intensively investigated as drugs for the treatment of a range of human diseases including cancer. While HDACi show promise, how they achieve their therapeutic effects remains poorly understood. As regulation of gene expression and other cellular processes are well conserved between plants and animals, insight into HC-toxin function in corn should aid our understanding of HCDAi function in animals.
Plant pathogens cause extensive disease resulting in considerable crop loss, which is a major threat to food security and significantly contributes to malnutrition suffered by more than one billion people. This project is focused on a major corn pathogen, Cochliobolus carbonum that secretes HC-toxin, a potent histone deacetylase inhibitor (HDACi), which like other HDACis is currently being investigated for treatment of cancer and other human diseases. Thus, this study will impact human health by increasing our knowledge of immunity and HDACi function.

One Direction's next single is called 'Perfect' and their fans have already whipped themselves into a frenzy for it.
The boyband will release the new track worldwide on October 16 as the second cut to be lifted from upcoming album Made In The A.M., which follows on November 13.
The track has been described as "an emotionally charged ironic love song featuring passionate drumming, rousing guitars, shimmering synths and an immense chorus" in a press release.
'Perfect' was produced by Julian Bunetta, Jesse Shatkin and AFTERHRS, and co-written by Harry Styles and Louis Tomlinson alongside Bunetta, Shatkin, Jacob Kasher, John Ryan and Maureen Anne McDonald.
Fans were already aware that the new single was on its way after Apple Music accidentally tweeted about its release earlier today (October 9).
'Perfect' will serve as the follow-up to their chart-topping single 'Drag Me Down', as well as recent buzz track 'Infinity'.
Meanwhile, Justin Bieber recently claimed that 1D decided to release their new album on the same day as his in order to generate publicity.

Not only did Schitt’s Creek star Dan Levy (Happiest Season) make an impression on the night of his Saturday Night Live hosting debut in February, he sparked a seemingly new behind-the-scenes tradition that garnered him even further praise. By leaving a note for the following Saturday’s freshman host, Regina King (Watchmen, If Beale Street Could Talk), Levy inadvertently started an ongoing chain of encouraging Post-Its being passed down between hosts of the NBC sketch comedy institution. However, the actor recently clarified, in an interview with Today, that his note to King was inspired by four-time SNL host Woody Harrelson’s (True Detective, Zombieland) gesture in 2019.
“I feel the need to clarify this… I didn’t start (the tradition).” https://t.co/ndT28rgURk
— Entertainment Weekly (@EW) March 31, 2021
“I feel the need to clarify this… I didn’t start (the tradition),” Levy told Today, stating that he was influenced by the note that Harrelson left for host Phoebe Waller-Bridge (Fleabag) in 2019 “I kind of continued it.” Levy also shared that he asked permission to leave the note for King “the process is such a strange experience […] a little note from the person that had just done it felt like such a sweet vote of confidence” (Today).
Unlike Harrelson’s note, Levy’s Post-It set off a chain reaction behind-the-scenes at Saturday Night Live as King left a similar note for Rege Jean-Page (Bridgerton, Roots) and he left one for host/musical guest Nick Jonas. As Jonas hosted before the NBC comedy’s month-long hiatus, fans had to wait to see if the reinvigorated tradition continued with returning host and SNL alum Maya Rudolph (Bridesmaids, Big Mouth).
— NICK JONɅS (@nickjonas) February 28, 2021
According to PopSugar, Rudolph shared that Jonas had indeed continued the tradition with a photo of the Post-It on her Instagram story, which read: “Maya! Welcome home. You are an absolute legend. Break a leg and take a shot!” PopSugar reported that Rudolph mentioned Daniel Kaluuya (Get Out, Judas and the Black Messiah) was “on deck” in her Instagram post, meaning fans can expect to glimpse a note from Rudolph to the first-time host this coming Saturday.
View this post on Instagram
While Levy may not have started the tradition, his gesture set off a lasting chain reaction that could very well continue behind-the-scenes on Saturday Night Live well into the future. Though Rudolph was announced as host prior to SNL’s March hiatus, that is not always the case, particularly when the show takes it’s longer summer and holiday breaks. Time will tell whether longer hiatuses with no announced host will lead to a generic note of encouragement, the tradition being picked up by the first host after the hiatus or the trend dying out altogether.
Based on Rudolph’s post, Kaluuya can expect a Post-It from this past week’s host when he takes the reigns on April 3 with musical guest St. Vincent.

“READ ME!” screams the front cover of Peranakan author Josephine Chia‘s Kampong Spirit-Gotong Royong, a gift to lovers of nostalgia. A black and white picture of carefree kampong children goofing around water pipes invite viewers to participate in their playtime.
In Kampong Spirit-Gotong Royong, one notion seemed to stand out above others, that nobody needs to be alone or abandoned. The conviction that everyone should be cared for, and care for one another.
Whatever your circumstances, always live with joy.
— Mak, the author’s mother.
The book has quotes that stick and invade the conscience scattered throughout its pages.
Kampong Spirit-Gotong Royong tells of Josephine’s childhood, interlaced with one of Singapore’s most crucial decades in terms of industrial progress — back when Orchard Road wasn’t a commercial cavern crawling with imported franchises; when in place of a bustling street was a mere row of palm and nutmeg.
Also appealing is the author’s recollection of Singapore’s slow and steady escape from the caresses of colonial power in the 50s and 60s.
Josephine writes as though for a friend, exchanging letters on her childhood with the reader and bringing to life details of growing pains. She provides a different perspective on life when most are blinded by their own, based on what has always been.
Kampong Spirit-Gotong Royong is perfect for casual reading, though some parts have strong hooks impossible to detach.
These eloquent words are also accompanied by a wealth of pictures from the past. To know for yourself what life was like in in Kampong Potong Pasir in Singapore, make sure to read Josephine Chia’s literary brainchild, and experience a journey of discovery and reminiscence.

NAWWA and Systemic Racism
NAWWA | Aug 10 2020
When the Founder of NAWWA ("Founder") was writing the Article titled NAWWA and the Protests Are Not About Black Lives he thought there must be something else to the nationwide unrest and, more specifically, to the Black Lives Matter "movement" name that wasn't being reported. This is because the Founder noticed the protests were being carried out in a more aggressive manner and were focused on other racial issues rather than on just the racism associated with police brutality which is what the simple Black Lives Matter name was originally about.
Based upon the aggressiveness of the protests with their emphasis on changing or eliminating everything related to slavery and the Confederacy, one might think the Black Lives Matter "movement" name was using "revenge" as the reason for changing things to suit the preferences of the Blacks. If so, could the revenge be part of a conspiracy theory associated with the protests? Therefore, the Founder conducted a thorough search on the Internet about the Black Lives Matter "movement" name and found there was undeniable proof that a conspiracy theory was indeed in effect to change America into a far-left socialist society. All of his findings are presented in the Article titled NAWWA and the Black Lives Matter Movement.
In regards to the protests being more focused on "other" racial issues, one might also think the Black Lives Matter "movement" name was using certain racial issues as another reason for changing things to suit the preferences of the Blacks. This is because the news reports were continually using the words "systemic racism" to describe the type of racism that was being referred to in the protests. Based upon how some statements were being made, it appeared the Black Lives Matter "movement" name was linking the whites to systemic racism against the Blacks. Therefore, this Article is dedicated to determining if the Black Lives Matter movement is linking the whites to the systemic racism and is such racism part of the conspiracy theory mentioned above?
Black Lives Matter is hereinafter referred to "BLM".
Some information in this Article was obtained from websites with material relevant to the subject matter. Thus, references to the web addresses are included with the information to provide the readers with convenient access to the websites. If additional information is needed, the readers are encouraged to access the same websites or any other source of information available to them.
As stated in NAWWA and the Protests Are Not About Black Lives, the readers need to keep in mind that the Founder is not a psychologist or sociologist or political scientist or any other kind of professional who is well-versed in these matters. But, because the Founder recognizes that something is wrong about the protests, he wants to find out what it is and report it accordingly.
After performing an online search, the Founder learned that "systemic racism" is defined in several different ways with its meaning ranging from somewhat of a personal perspective to a more explicit political or economical viewpoint. Examples of two such definitions are presented below.
From an article titled "What is systemic racism? Here's what it means and how you can help dismantle it" [ref: https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2020/06/15/systemic-racism-what-does-mean/5343549002/], NAACP President Derrick Johnson briefly defined systemic racism as:
"... systemic racism, also called structural racism or institutional racism, as 'systems and structures that have procedures or processes that disadvantages African Americans'."
Then, from an article titled "Definition of Systemic Racism in Sociology" [ref: https://www.thoughtco.com/systemic-racism-3026565], sociologist Joe Feagin defined systemic racism as:
"Systemic racism includes the complex array of antiblack practices, the unjustly gained political-economic power of whites, the continuing economic and other resource inequalities along racial lines, and the white racist ideologies and attitudes created to maintain and rationalize white privilege and power. Systemic here means that the core racist realities are manifested in each of society s major parts [...] each major part of U.S. society - the economy, politics, education, religion, the family - reflects the fundamental reality of systemic racism."
From the above definitions it can be seen that the terms for systemic racism take into account procedures or processes which can disadvantage or discriminate against Blacks. The procedures or processes refer to laws, rules, and similar controls. And, apparently the same laws, rules, and controls are used to disadvantage or discriminate against the Blacks. Both of these elements are generally included in other definitions of systemic racism. It was also noticed that the terms are specifically protective of the Blacks even though they can be used to protect other non-white races. But, what does the word "systemic" mean?
The Founder could not find a report on how the term "systemic racism" was formally derived. However, from an article titled "What are structural, institutional and systemic racism?" [ref: https://abc7news.com/systemic-racism-definition-structural-institutionalized-what-is/6292530/], he found a short explanation about systemic racism which is as follows:
"Since America was colonized, it has been white people who have made the rules, first with slavery, then Jim Crow Laws and Separate but Equal rules, and even creating limits on who can immigrate into the country."
Based upon the above explanation, it can be realized that America's founding fathers made all of the early laws and rules since they were the controlling authorities. This is understandable since they were the first to permanently settle in America. The laws and rules were essential for their work in creating a political system for governing the colonies. It is also understood that all of the founding fathers were white and some of them owned slaves. Therefore, systemic racism and discrimination against the other types of activities which we have today such as LGBTQ activism, feminism movements, student and worker rights, etc, were not issues that the founding fathers had to resolve.
In addition, from an article in Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia, titled "Institutional racism" [ref: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Institutional_racism], it was found that the term "institutional racism" was first coined in 1967 by Stokely Carmichael and Charles V. Hamilton in Black Power: The Politics of Liberation. Carmichael and Hamilton wrote that while individual racism is often identifiable because of its overt nature, institutional racism is less perceptible because of its "less overt, far more subtle" nature. Institutional racism "originates in the operation of established and respected forces in the society, and thus receives far less public condemnation than [individual racism]."
It was also interesting to learn that Stokely Carmichael eventually developed the Black Power movement, later serving as the "Honorary Prime Minister" of the Black Panther Party (BPP), and lastly as a leader of the All-African People's Revolutionary Party (A-APRP). All of these organizations consisted of social and revolutionary political movements formed in the later part of the 1960 era with agendas that resembled the Black Lives Matter movement of today. So, something can be said about history repeating itself.
Hence, systemic racism is a relatively new term that came into existence within the last 53 years. Unfortunately for the White Americans, such a term goes entirely against white people. Because of its one-sided terms, it can be said the deck has been stacked against the whites with respect to issues involving racism against Blacks or any other non-white race. A good example of this is evidenced by the fact that systemic racism is continually being referred to in the protests carried out by the BLM movement. Its use is intended to place guilt on the whites and get sympathy for the Blacks. It's another tactic that the BLM movement is using to obtain preferential treatment for the Blacks and further advance Marxism.
In order to learn how systemic racism has been used to discriminate against the Blacks and other non-white races, the Founder conducted another online search and found two articles about this issue. The articles are relatively similar to each other. One such article is presented in the paragraph below.
In the article titled "7 Ways We Know Systemic Racism Is Real" [ref: https://www.benjerry.com/whats-new/2016/systemic-racism-is-real], it can be realized why the terms in systemic racism are placing the blame on the whites and, in some situations, rightfully so.
For instance, according to one study about wealth, white families hold 90% of the national wealth, Latino families hold 2.3%, and black families hold 2.6%. Not only that, the Great Recession hit minority families particularly hard, and the wealth gap has increased.
And, in the area of employment, it's next to impossible to build wealth without steady and rewarding employment. Unfortunately, the Black unemployment rate has been consistently twice that of whites over the past 60 years, no matter what has been going on with the economy (whether it's been up or down). Maybe higher education would help with this? But, according to the data Blacks with college degrees it happens that Blacks are twice as likely to be unemployed as all other graduates.
For information about the other 5 of the "7 Ways We Know Systemic Racism Is Real", the readers can access the article's website referenced above.
The second article on how systemic racism has been used to discriminate against the Blacks and other non-white races is titled "WHAT IS SYSTEMIC RACISM? [VIDEOS]" [ref: https://www.raceforward.org/videos/systemic-racism]. This article takes into account a few more areas of discrimination that were not covered in the previous article. Thus, the readers are encouraged to access this website as well.
In consideration of the injustices and oppression that has been incurred by the Blacks now and in the past due to systemic racism, it is obvious that something needs to be done to eradicate this type of racism. But, let's keep in mind that racism is a two-way street and improvement needs to be made by all the races. It should also be pointed out that the whites are not racist just because they're white. Of all the White Americans, it would be interesting to know what percentage of them would be classified as racist. Perhaps the Founder can address these concerns in a future Article to NAWWA.
In the meantime, and based upon the findings presented in this Article, it has been determined that the systemic racism is definitely linked to the whites. This is by virtue of its definition alone. And, the most compelling evidence which proves the systemic racism is part of the conspiracy theory to change America into a far-left socialist society is based upon the fact that the BLM movement has included it in the protests as an "other" racial issue.

HORNDEAN Technology College is hosting a new community recycling scheme to reduce landfill pollution.
People in Horndean can drop off different types of waste packaging that is not included in the council recycling scheme to a collection box at the college.
The project is part of a nationwide initiative set up by recycling experts TerraCycle.
Pupils at Horndean Technology College are also fundraising to support the 2Serve Trust, a charity that collects and sends old textbooks and science equipment to under-privileged schools in Africa.
Nicola Cutbush, who arranged for the collection point at the college, said: ‘We are delighted. Horndean is among the first communities in the UK to offer recycling drop off points for these materials.’

Molecular Dynamics Simulations of Cisplatin Adducts with Dinucleotides
Whereas the molecular basis for the antitumor activity of cisplatin is not yet established, there are numerous experimental results implicating DNA binding in the antitumor mechanism. Whatever happens between platinum binding to DNA and the cell death, the hypothesis that the structural distortion plays a role in the processing of the Pt-DNA adducts does not seem unlikely, and provides the pharmacological motivation for structural studies on these adducts.

Kirk, Alison and Mutrie, Nanette and MacIntyre, P. and Fisher, M (2004) Diabetes and survival after myocardial infarction: is cardiac rehabilitation an effective secondary prevention measure? Practical Diabetes International, 21. pp. 267-275.Full text not available in this repository. (Request a copy from the Strathclyde author)
Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death in people with type 2 diabetes. People with diabetes have substantially higher short-term (30 days) and long-term (up to 10 years) mortality rates after acute myocardial infarction, than people without diabetes. The reason behind this higher mortality rate is not completely understood. Cardiac rehabilitation post myocardial infarction has been shown to be beneficial in non-diabetic patients in reducing both morbidity and mortality. Research investigating the effectiveness of cardiac rehabilitation for people with diabetes is much more limited.

I have been listening to K-Pop since 2010. The library had a teen anime club, and I was looking for something to screen at our club meeting. I stumbled upon the Korean live action version of Boys Over Flowers and my obsession began. (Based on a Japanese manga, the drama is terrible and wonderful all at the same time.) From that point on, I started diving into all the great dramas and music out of South Korea, both past and present. And now, the rest of the world is too—all thanks to BTS!
For those of you not in the know, BTS, aka the Bangtan Boys, is a seven-member South Korean boy band formed in 2010. They have broken numerous records—hitting No. 1 on the Billboard charts, becoming the first K-Pop group to perform on a major U.S. awards show and having the most-viewed YouTube video in 24 hours. They also just recently broke a record long held by the Beatles: releasing three No. 1 albums in less than a year. Just this month, BTS snagged three spots on Billboard’s Hot 100 with songs from their latest album, Map of the Soul: 7. Their official fan club, ARMY, is so passionate about promoting and loving BTS that James Corden just featured the group on an episode of Carpool Karaoke. Watch that video here.
So why am I telling you all this? BTS just released their latest album, Map of the Soul: 7, with 20 songs total including five from their 2019 EP Map of the Soul: Persona. The library can hook you up with that album as well as their previous releases like Love Yourself, Skool Luv Affair, Wings and more!
How, you ask? Use your Fountaindale Library card to access Freegal Music, a digital resource where you can stream up to five hours of music a day and download five free songs a week. I have already listened to the album three times! Current favorites include: Filter, ON, 00:00 (Zero O’Clock) and Friends.
If you are interested in learning more about their new album, check out Studio 300’s Between the Stacks, where our very own Adriana and Patrick review Map of the Soul: 7. You can watch that video here.
Teens in grades 6–12 can join Adriana and me at the library’s monthly K-Pop Fan Meetup. Each month, we listen to and discuss our favorite music and artists and work on special projects. We have tried Korean snack foods, made our own K-Pop photocard magnets, held random dance challenges and much, much more. Check out our event calendar for dates, times and registration info.

Iowa Congressman Steve King, a Republican from Kiron, says the economic stimulus package that passed the House and awaits Senate approval is a short-term fix. King says the rebates in the plan provide a “sugar high” for Americans, and says “it’s almost as if irresponsible reckless spending got us into this mess, and irresponsible reckless spending will get us out of it.”
King says the best you can expect from the rebates is the “short sugar high” for the economy. King says he’d rather have seen the president push to make his tax cuts permanent as part of a long-term fix. King says we want businesses to make money as that’s were jobs are created, and he says he’d liked to have seen the president pick this time to stand his ground on making the 2003 tax cuts permanent. King says the president may not get another chance to stand up for the tax cut extension.
King says he was concerned that the rebate check would go to illegal aliens. He says the Senate took up the issue, but was only able to ensure that rebate checks are sent to people with a social security number. King says we know there are multiple people working under illegal social security numbers they have borrowed or stolen. King says he’s working to be sure that the IRS can only send a check to one address for each social security number. King made his comments during a stop in Creston.

Subsidies for home energy audits are available to all homeowners as part of Jersey’s Climate Conversation, the island-wide discussion on how Jersey should tackle climate change.
This week, week two of the conversation has aimed to raise awareness on how to heat homes effectively. A home energy audit is a survey used to gauge how much energy a home uses and to present a series of personalised recommendations to make energy more efficient and cost-effective.
Colin Russell, of Russel Surveying Services, one of the trained auditors who conducts the audits said: “A home energy audit is a great place to start when it comes to improving heating a home. There’s no obligation for homeowners to take the personalised advice we provide but for many the audit is a useful guide to plan long-term investments in the home.”
As part of the Climate Conversation islanders are being encouraged to find out what they need to do to improve their home heating. Islanders who book audits over the next few weeks will receive draught-proofing tape, suitable for wooden doors and windows.


PALATINE — The Plan Commission is at odds over a plan to build 222 condominium units in 19 buildings on 19 acres north of Rand Road and east of Hicks Road.
At issue is the western edge of the property, which village staff says is perfect for a commercial development.
Concord Development Corp. of Palatine wants to demolish homes on the site to make way for the condominiums.
Officials are estimating that the development will add 1,265 cars to area roads. Cars would enter the development from Hicks Road to the west and Coach Road to the east.

The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) has reportedly acknowledged it was wrong to rewrite late Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s comments on abortion to make the quote sound gender neutral.
The quote in question was from Ginsburg’s Supreme Court confirmation hearing before the Senate Judiciary Committee on July 21, 1993:
“The decision whether or not to bear a child is central to a woman’s life, to her well-being and dignity. It is a decision she must make for herself. When government controls that decision for her, she is being treated as less than a fully adult human responsible for her own choices.”
When the ACLU posted the message on Twitter, however, the words “woman,” “she,” and “her” were replaced by “people,” “they,” and “their.”
The altered Ginsburg quote received widespread criticism on social media, with many arguing that it is absurd to pretend that historical figures were more progressive than they actually were by changing the speech they used.
In a statement to The New York Times, ACLU executive director Anthony Romero said it was a mistake to put words in Ginsburg’s mouth.
“We won’t be altering people’s quotes,” he told The NY Times’ Michelle Goldberg. “It was a mistake among the digital team. Changing quotes is not something we ever did.”
That being said, Romero still tried to defend the move, saying that it “was not a mistake without a thought,” and that women are not the only ones who get pregnant and seek abortions.
“Having spent time with Justice Ginsburg, I would like to believe that if she were alive today, she would encourage us to evolve our language to encompass a broader vision of gender, identity and sexuality,” he told Goldberg.
Goldberg, however, noted that there was a specific reason for Ginsburg, a feminist icon, to use the word “woman” at that time. She also found similarities between the ACLU version of Ginsburg’s quote and George Orwell’s political novel “Nineteen Eighty-Four,” in which historical records are constantly rewritten, destroyed, and fabricated according to the whims of a totalitarian regime.
“It’s somewhat Orwellian to rewrite historical utterances to conform to modern sensitivities,” Goldberg wrote. “Changing Ginsburg’s words treats what was once a core feminist insight—that women are oppressed on the basis of their reproductive capacity—as an embarrassing anachronism.”
