RETIRED: Use of Array Genomic Hybridization Technology in Prenatal Diagnosis in Canada
- Additional Document Info
- View All
OBJECTIVE: To summarize for obstetrical care providers the current literature on array genomic hybridization in prenatal diagnosis and to outline the recommendations of the Canadian College of Medical Geneticists regarding the use of this new technology with respect to prenatal diagnosis. EVIDENCE: PubMed and Medline were searched for articles published in English between 2004 and 2010, using the key words DNA QF-PCR, quantitative fluorescent polymerase chain reaction, fetal chromosomal abnormalities, prenatal diagnosis, array genomic hybridization, fetal structural anomalies, and copy number variants. Results were restricted to systematic reviews, randomized control trials/controlled clinical trials, and observational studies. Searches were updated on a regular basis, and articles were incorporated in the guideline to September 2011. Grey (unpublished) literature was identified through searching the websites of health technology assessment and health technology assessment-related agencies, clinical practice guideline collections, clinical trial registries, and national and international medical specialty societies. VALUES: The quality of evidence in this document was rated using the criteria described in the Report of the Canadian Task Force on Preventive Health Care (Table 1). RECOMMENDATIONS: 1. Array genomic hybridization is not recommended in pregnancies at low risk for a structural chromosomal abnormality; for example, advanced maternal age, positive maternal serum screen, previous trisomy, or the presence of "soft markers" on fetal ultrasound. (III-D) 2. Array genomic hybridization may be an appropriate diagnostic test in cases with fetal structural abnormalities detected on ultrasound or fetal magnetic resonance imaging; it could be done in lieu of a karyotype if rapid aneuploidy screening is negative and an appropriate turnaround time for results is assured. (II-2A) 3. Any pregnant woman who qualifies for microarray genomic hybridization testing should be seen in consultation by a medical geneticist before testing so that the benefits, limitations, and possible outcomes of the analysis can be discussed in detail. The difficulties of interpreting some copy number variants should also be discussed. This will allow couples to make an informed decision about whether or not they wish to pursue such prenatal testing. (III-A).

text: Hi - I'm in the Northeast and on the tail end of what's been a brutal winter. I want to grow some grass indoors for my birds as well as provide them with some dirt to bathe in. I have planted grass in the past with some dirt I had from outside (everything now is frozen and covered with lots of snow) and topped it off with some organic potting soil. I noticed the birds did eat some of the fertilizer in the potting soil. Not thinking that was great for them, I removed the planter from their coop. What else could I use to grow more grass for them to munch on during the winter months and to dust bathe in (when some of the grass was eaten, a couple of them climbed in and started bathing! Too cute.) I wasn't sure what top soil really is and if that would be harmful to them. Or maybe the organic potting soil poses not threat to their health. Thoughts?

Your emotional health is just as necessary as your physical health and can promote or disrupt publish-stroke recovery. Occasional unhappiness is a traditional part of growing up. Nevertheless, if kids are sad, irritable, or not take pleasure in things, and this happens day after day, it might be an indication that they’re affected by major depressive dysfunction, generally often known as depression. Analysis shows that people who have a serious sickness and depression are more likely to have more severe types of each circumstances.
If you have bodily signs like these and find yourself feeling depressed a lot of the time for days or weeks, see your physician.

Such a distinction manifestly exists, though it may be overestimated, or rather, the statement of it may be exaggerated, if it be supposed that separate acts of His discharge these separate functions, and that He ceases to be the one before He becomes the other.

Farewell to the days of birettas and cassocks
AFTER 40 years of innovative urban ministry, the Revd Dr Ken Leech is leaving the East End of London. In that time, the East End has seen as many changes as the Church he has served.
How did it all begin? “I first came to London in 1958, as a student. I lived in Cable Street, in the heart of London’s old docks. There was a Franciscan community there, which had been set up in a former brothel. Cable Street was the red light district of London then. And it was surrounded by the most notorious slum area in London; its destruction in the late 1960s marked the end of an era.
“I became involved with that Franciscan community, and also with a ministry that Fr Joe Williamson was running for prostitutes in the area.”
Did he already have an interest in Anglo-Catholic Socialism when he arrived in London? “Yes. As a teenager, I attended a high Anglo-Catholic parish in Hyde, near Manchester. So
I already identified with Anglo-Catholic tradition, but I hadn’t yet discovered what a diverse tradition it was. I didn’t yet know about ‘gin-and-lace’ Catholicism, the precious and effete side of it. I met it in London, but it didn’t really impinge on me.
“I was influenced by people like Stanley Evans, Gresham Kirby, John Groser — they were old-style Christian Socialists — Communists some of them. They certainly had no time for preciousness.”
He was ordained in 1965: what was his first parish like? “I first served in a very papalist parish in Hoxton. It had the Roman mass, and multiple crossings, in direct imitation of Rome. And then all this was banned by the Second Vatican Council, and I had to unlearn it.
“The parish was like a village parish really, but within London. Everyone seemed to be related to each other. And the Vicar, Kenneth Loveless, was a real character: he modelled himself on the slum priest Fr Dolling. He was like an authoritarian father of the community — he even turned away people who lived outside the parish boundaries, and told them to attend their local church. He was much loved locally. When he died, his coffin was carried through the streets and everyone wept. It was quite bizarre, looking back: another era really.
“When I moved to a parish in Soho in 1967, I came to feel it was all a bit unreal, that tradition. It relied on a model of the church as the centre of the community, which was becoming unrealistic by the later 1960s. Nowadays, those sort of priests who wear birettas and cassocks in the streets seem like leftovers from the past, joke figures almost, though many are good and holy men. But in the 1960s that was still a vibrant tradition.”
IN HIS Soho parish, drug-abuse was a serious new problem, particularly amphetamines. He set up the Soho Drugs Group and subsequently Centrepoint, which not only provided for the needs of young homeless people, but sought to relate their plight to wider social issues. His book Youthquake was an attempt to acquaint his Church with the new challenges of ministry which the 1960s had brought.
In 1974, he moved to St Matthew’s, Bethnal Green. This was a natural home for Ken Leech, for it was here that Stewart Headlam had founded the Christian-Socialist Guild of St Matthew a century before. He now co-founded the Jubilee Group with a few other priests interested in Anglo-Catholic social thought. When the group was drawing up a manifesto, one of the group, who was a chaplain at an Oxford college, sought the help of a graduate student he knew. It was Rowan Williams.
“We didn’t use what Rowan wrote — it was too triumphalist. But we met soon after that, and he became involved over the next ten years or so. I saw him as part of a new generation of Anglo-Catholic theology.
“What brought the group together was a sense that the politically radical side of the tradition was in danger of being forgotten. But the group never defined its socialism. Some were Marxists; many belonged to the Labour Party. There was David Nicholls, who was really an old-style guild socialist, opposed to state socialism. So there was no party line.
“At first, the group was very confident that the Anglo-Catholic tradition was intrinsically radical in its politics, owing to its focus on the incarnation and the Kingdom of God. We gradually admitted that this was only one aspect of the tradition, and probably not the dominant aspect.
“At the time it seemed possible to be both traditional in one’s theology and radical in one’s politics; lots of people who influenced me were like that. But over time I’ve become much more wary of some of the traditionalist strands in Anglo-Catholicism, which I think belong to an early stage of the movement.
“The key question is whether you see the Church as the most important thing in Christian faith, or the Kingdom of God. Stanley Evans was arguing in the 1950s that the really important division in the Christian world was between those who thought that the Kingdom of God involved the transformation of this world in some sense, and those who didn’t. Today, I think this divide cuts right across the denominations.
“The so-called radicalisation that happened to the Church of England in the 1980s is a bit of an overstatement. I think the Government was so right- wing that the Church seemed more radical just by staying still. Today, it’s harder to locate, and some of the most radical Christians are of other traditions, like Baptists and Mennonites.”
His ministry included vocal opposition to the far-right groups that lurked in London’s deprived areas. He had already encountered the British Union of Fascists when Mosley stood as a parliamentary candidate in Hoxton. A decade later, the National Front was a constant menace in Dr Leech’s largely Bangladeshi parish in Brick Lane. He was a co-founder of Christians Against Racism and Fascism, and tirelessly warned about the dangers of right-wing fundamentalism taking root in Britain.
During the 1980s, it was clear that Anglo-Catholicism was split over the looming question of the ordination of women. “The Jubilee Group was originally opposed to the ordination of women. Some members felt that it was contrary to the doctrine of the incarnation — women were just the wrong stuff. I was strongly opposed as well, but I was converted when I saw how strongly people like John Saward and Graham Leonard felt about it. I thought, ‘Goodness, if this is the nature of the argument, then we really need to rethink.’ I think those two did more for the cause of women’s ordination than almost anyone else. They said they were like the Greens of the Church — protecting it from pollution. That seems like a dangerous way of thinking.”
Is he surprised that the very traditional Anglo-Catholics don’t go to Rome? “Yes — if Rome is right, they should submit at once. In fact, that question first arose in 1955, when there was a similar furore over the orders of the Church of South India. The issue was that ministers from the Methodist Church and other Churches were incorporated into the Anglican Church without being re-ordained. Some traditionalists were threatening to become Roman Catholics if these orders were recognised by Canterbury.”
Though Ken Leech is a gentle, softly spoken man, his writing has often shown impatience towards the evasions of his Church, and the stifling spirit of compromise that he associates with its establishment. He has consistently advocated disestablishment. In 1993, writing in The Guardian, he called Anglican bishops state nominees: “Charming and pleasant as they are, they bear the mark of the beast.” Leech himself has never been in danger of promotion, even when New Labour briefly made Christian Socialism seem fashionable.
Ken Leech had an indirect connection with Blair: he was a friend of Peter Thomson, who had converted Blair to religious Socialism at Oxford. He rightly predicted that Blair would find “Christian Socialist” an awkward label to wear. He also warned that the Christian Socialist Movement was becoming rather safe: “the religious arm of the Labour establishment”. He has kept up his criticisms of New Labour — he has recently commented that its immigration policy “makes the Tories look liberal”.
Since 1990, Dr Leech has worked as a community theologian at St Botolph’s, Aldgate, on the edge of the City. The post has been sponsored by the Christendom Trust, which normally supports research fellows in universities. This year the funds are running out, and Dr Leech feels that his work there has come to a natural end. He is returning to Manchester after 45 years, with plans for further writing: he is presently working on a book on race for SPCK. The Jubilee Group also looks to be coming to an end in its present form, after 30 years of conferences, pamphlets and campaigning.
And then of course there is Dr Williams — are they still in touch? “We haven’t met since he became Archbishop of Canterbury, but I still consider him a good friend. I do feel very sorry for Rowan. Part of me really hoped he would turn the job down, that he’d say his loyalty was to the people of Wales who elected him archbishop. All the abuse he’s been receiving is hard for him. Particularly because he’s immensely kind — he wants to listen to everyone, hear every point of view.”
Born in 1939 to a working-class family in Greater Manchester, Leech studied history at King’s College, London, and then trained for ordination at St Stephen’s House, Oxford, in 1963. He served in parishes in Hoxton, Soho and Bethnal Green, becoming one of the Church’s foremost experts on the drug culture and related social problems. He also pioneered the Church’s engagement with racism. His espousal of “contextual theology” provided a bridge between academic theology and the Church. Since founding the Jubilee Group in 1974 he has been a leading representative of Anglo-Catholic socialist tradition, and a prolific historian of the movement.
His books include Youthquake (1973), Soul Friend (1977), True God (1985), The Eye of the Storm (1994), The Sky is Red (1997), Through Our Long Exile (2001).

People all corners of the world have allergies. Although there are many different kinds of allergies, basically it is the same when you go to treat these symptoms. Read this article for tips that will help you deal with allergies and possibly even relieve yourself of them for good.
Dust mites unfortunately are unavoidable allergen. Wash your bedding in hot water every week; it will kill dust mites.
People are susceptible to specific allergens during different times in their lives. As they grow older, they get exposed to other protein allergens and may ultimately become allergic to pollen. If your kid starts to display signs of allergies towards pollen, don’t rule out serious allergic reactions just because they’re not food.
If you suffer from allergies and want a pet, get one with short fur. Although all animals can bother an allergy sufferer, animals that have long hair worsen allergies. To further minimize pet allergies, forbid them from getting on the furniture or in your bed.
If you exercise when the levels of pollen are high, schedule your workouts around dawn or dusk during peak allergy season. Studies have shown pollen counts are lowest at these times of the day and you will be most comfortable.
Think about getting rid of your house. If your home is carpeted throughout, you might consider changing out wall to wall carpet for tile, laminate or wood flooring. This will make an amazing difference in the allergy-causing substances you breathe. If you cannot change your floor, vacuum daily.
There are plenty of allergy sufferers. For instance, you may consider over-the-counter nasal saline sprays, allergy eye drops or prescription alternatives, leukotriene blockers and nasal steroids are all options.
If you consistently suffer from a certain set of symptoms, it might be better so simply address the symptoms rather than completely trying to avoid allergic reactions. For example, if a runny nose is …Read More

IT’S A QUESTION NEARLY AS OLD AS superhero comics themselves: If you could be any crimefighting cartoon character, who would it be? Answering that question when you’re running for higher office, however, takes on loftier levels of would-be import. Because do you really want to be known to all of America as the candidate who longs to be Ant-Man?
Or Aquaman? (Not if you don’t identify as green and eco-friendly.)
Or Robin the Boy Wonder? (Say so and you seem destined to be No.-2 on the ticket, at best.)
Now that telltale question is being posed to Republican candidates who have been glad-handing the good folks of New Hampshire.
Freelance documentary producer and writer Darren Garnick tells Comic Riffs on Wednesday that he has made a video “for fun” in which his tween-aged son, Ari — whom Garnick calls a “superhero fiend” — poses that singular query to the contenders:
If you could be any superhero in the world, WHO would you be?
(Full disclosure: Garnick notes that during the 2008 campaign, he did a project for The Post’s sister outlet Slate, in which he “tried to photograph my daughter with all the candidates.”)
Garnick’s new video is titled: “Republicans in Tights: Behind the Scenes of the ‘Superhero Primary.’ “
The first thing you may notice is that among these human contenders, Superman wins a mortal majority. Newt Gingrich, Rick Perry, Mitt Romney and the pre-suspended Herman Cain all pick the Man of Steel.
A second thing you may notice is that among the men who seek the highest office in D.C., the most popular superhero galaxy is DC. (Among the non-DC Comics candidates: Jon Huntsman likes Spider-Man; Rick Santorum goes Pixar with Mr. Incredible; and Ron Paul apparently doesn’t know who his favorite superhero is.)
Which, when purely playing the odds, means the 2012 general election will shape up as a DC vs. Marvel showdown.
During his 2008 run, President Obama made it known that he was a Spider-Man fan, eventually appearing on a top-selling Marvel issue alongside the webslinger even before he was inaugurated.
The real point, of course, is that naming your favorite superhero is a form of personality litmus test — voters can try to glean what attributes the candidate most identifies with, and what superpowers the contender would most wish for.
“I wanted to take Ari out on the New Hampshire primary campaign trail, which — like Iowa — is the greatest social studies classroom available,” Garnick tells Comic Riffs, “and I knew that having a superhero theme would make it more interesting for him.”
Garnick would also like to hear how one other candidate might answer the big question.
“I'm very curious to hear what Michele Bachmann will say if she makes it back to New Hampshire,” Garnick tells us, noting that he “will be shocked if she has a surprise pick besides Wonder Woman.”
“ There are not as many women heroes to choose from,” he says, “but there are much more than are on people's radar.”
Which superhero would you pick for different candidates? You can email your picks to firstname.lastname@example.org or via Twitter to @comicriffs.

Socialist Party (France)
The Socialist Party (Parti Socialiste, PS) is a political party in France, historically the largest left-wing party from its creation in 1969 to the 2000s, then, since the 2010s, a center-left party. It is one of the social democratic parties.
It first won power under the Fifth Republic with François Mitterrand's victory at the 1981 presidential election. The party's candidate for the 2007 presidential election, Ségolène Royal, was defeated by Nicolas Sarkozy by about 53% to 47%. In 2012, Socialist Party's candidate François Hollande won the presidential election.
After the failure of the Paris commune (1871), French socialism was figuratively beheaded. Its leaders were killed or exiled. France's first socialist party, the Federation of the Socialist Workers of France (Fédération des travailleurs socialistes de France or FTSF), was founded in 1879.
In 1899, the participation of Millerand in Pierre Waldeck-Rousseau's cabinet caused a debate about socialist participation in a "bourgeois government". Three years later, Jaurès, Allemane and the possibilists founded the French Socialist Party while Guesde and Vaillant formed the Socialist Party of France. Then, in 1905, during the Globe Congress, the two groups merged in the French Section of the Workers International (Section française de l'Internationale ouvrière or SFIO). Jaurès became the party leader.
The French socialists were strongly pacifist, but following the assassination of Jaurès in 1914 they were unable to resist the wave of militarism which followed the outbreak of World War I.
The Socialists suffered a severe split over participation in the wartime government of national unity. In 1919 the anti-war socialists were heavily defeated in elections. In 1920, during the Tours Congress, the majority and left wing of the party broke away and formed the French Section of the Communist International (Section française de l'Internationale Communiste or SFIC). This party joined the Third International, that was founded by Lenin. The right wing, led by Léon Blum, kept the "old house" and remained in the SFIO.
In 1934, the Communists changed their line, and the three parties came together in the Popular Front, which won the 1936 elections and brought Blum to power as France's first Socialist Prime Minister.
After the liberation of France in 1944, the SFIO had a coalition with a powerful Communist Party (which became the main left-wing party) and the Christian Democratic MRP. This alliance did not survive the Cold War. Blum proposed the construction of a Third Force with the center-left and the center-right, against the Gaullists and the Communists. However, his candidate to lead of the SFIO, Daniel Mayer, was defeated by Guy Mollet.
Mollet was supported by the left wing of the party. Paradoxically, he spoke a Marxist language without questioning the alliance with the center and the center-right. He was Prime Minister at the head of a minority government in 1956. The SFIO returned to opposition in 1959.
The SFIO did not nominate a candidate for the 1965 election. Consequently, it supported the candidacy of François Mitterrand, a former minister of the Fourth Republic who had been a conservative, then an independent of the left. He was resolutely anti-Gaullist. He obtained an honourable result and faced De Gaulle in an unexpected second ballot. He thus appeared as the leader of the non-Communist left.
In order to exist between the Communist Party, leading the left, and the Gaullist Party, leading the country, the SFIO, Radicals, and left wing republican groups created the Federation of the Democratic and Socialist Left under Mitterrand's leadership.
The foundation of the PS and the "Union of Left" (1969–1981) Edit
In 1969 the SFIO was replaced by the Socialist Party (Parti socialiste or PS). It was joined by pro-Pierre Mendès-France clubs (Union of Clubs for the Renewal of the Left led by Alain Savary) and left-wing republican groups (Union of Socialist Groups ad Clubs of Jean Poperen). During the Issy-les-Moulineaux Congress, Alain Savary was elected First Secretary with the support of his predecessor Guy Mollet. He proposed an "ideological dialogue" with the Communists.
Two years later, pro-François Mitterrand clubs (Convention of the Republican institutions), joined the party. Mitterrand defeated the Savary-Mollet duo by proposing an electoral programme with the Communists.
Mitterrand's presidency and the practice of power (1981–1995) Edit
The PS lost the majority in the French National Assembly in 1986, forcing Mitterrand to "cohabit" with the conservative government of Jacques Chirac. Nevertheless, Mitterrand was re-elected President in 1988 with a moderate programme entitled "united France". He proposed neither nationalisations nor privatisations. He chose as Prime Minister the most popular and moderate of the Socialist politicians, Michel Rocard. His cabinet included 4 center-right ministers but it was supported by only a plurality in the National Assembly elected in June 1988.
During his second term, Mitterrand focused on foreign policy and European construction.
Jospin and the "Plural Left" (1995–2002) Edit
In opposition, the PS reconstructed a coalition with the other left-wing forces: the PCF, the Greens, the Left Radical Party and the MDC. This "Plural Left" (Gauche plurielle) gained the 1997 legislative election and Jospin became Prime Minister of the third "cohabitation".
His policy was broadly progressive but had little to do with socialism as traditionally understood. The Aubry laws reduced the working time to 35 hours a week. A universal medical cover was instituted. However, the policy of privatization was pursued.
On April 21, 2002 Jospin was eliminated at the first round of the presidential election.
After the 2002 shock Edit
In the 2004 regional elections, the Socialists had a major comeback. In coalition with the former "Plural Left", they gained power in 20 of the 22 metropolitan regions (all except Alsace and Corsica) and in the four overseas regions. In fact, it benefited from a "sanction-vote" against the right.
On 1 December 2004, 59% of the members of the Socialist Party decided to approve the proposed European Constitution. However, several well-known members of the Party, including Laurent Fabius, and left-wingers Henri Emmanuelli and Jean-Luc Mélenchon, asked the voters to vote "no" in the 29 May 2005 French referendum on the European Constitution, at which the proposed Constitution was rejected.
2007 presidential election Edit
For the 2007 presidential election, many potential candidates appeared: François Hollande, Laurent Fabius (who has joined the left-wing of the party), Dominique Strauss-Kahn (who claimed he represented "social-democracy"), Jack Lang, Martine Aubry and Ségolène Royal, who was favourite according to the polls.
On 16 November 2006, the members of the Socialist Party chose Ségolène Royal to be their candidate with a majority of 60%. Her challengers, Strauss-Kahn and Fabius, obtained 21% and 19% respectively.
After obtaining 25% of the vote in the first round of France's presidential elections Ségolène Royal qualified for the second round of voting but lost to Nicolas Sarkozy on May 6, 2007.

HISTORIC REVIEW – This article has been reposted from our previous gaming website project in 2013.
A franchise adored by many strategy/city building fans around the world. Sim City is the pinnacle of the city building genre. Or so it was….
The graphics are nice and sharp with an array of municipal buildings to build and upgrade. They each have upgrade perks such as fire service has specialist hasmat teams and helicopters. Police have detectives and crime education centers. Hospitals have specialist centers. They all cost a lot to maintain along with all the other buildings you’ll need to have a growing thriving city with happy residents. Schools, garbage waste collection, sewage, water treatment, electricity, public transport are all important to have in every city.
Managing resources and trading is vital. Resources can be mixed at specialist buildings to create more valuable products though for it to run optimally roads need to be placed efficiently and have plenty of delivery trucks with trade depots well organised. The city running costs become increasingly strained as services are pushed to their limit. Revenue can be acquired by either increasing tax, issuing a loan bond or having an efficient well managed city generating regular profit.
The game runs and saves online only. Servers can disconnect which results in the game closing and can’t play again until an connection to the server is re-established. A big problem with the game is the incredibly small plot sizes. In truth the game is titled Sim City however with the plot sizes it’s more like building a town than a city! The premise of this Sim City is to be social connected between a group of cities in close proximity. Municipal resources can be shared with each town focusing on something unique such as a tourist destination, industrial or commercial success. The idea is that local cities can benefit one another. However the design is flawed as delivery trucks go missing bringing cities to a halt with city funds depleting.
As there’s hardly any room to expand a city, everything has to be managed tightly. If you want to build an airport or stadium the you’ll have to sacrifice a current building. By the time the city is full nearly all the buildings are essential. Deciding which one to demolish is a difficult choice. It’s a grind as a lot of people don’t want to create a collection of small cities they want a plot large enough for a decent sized city where all amenities fit, and give the user the chance to be creative with the chance to build a thriving metropolis.
Maxis have announced that they will never be making larger city plot sizes available however an offline only mode could be in the offing in the near future.
Download content is very expensive considering the limited items received in the package. For instance to have a few tents camp outside buildings as disaster relief from the ‘Red Cross’ dlc pack will cost users £7.99 hardly value for money. The new full expansion “Cities of Tomorrow” focuses on futuristic buildings that go incredibly high. Clearly Maxis can’t create bigger plots so they’ll just have everyone building higher instead at a cost of £24.99 + the cost of the base game £29.99!!
Sim City starts with great premise but once you begin to notice the games misgivings and limited gameplay you’ll fail to be fascinated by it. It’s a lackluster attempt to bring Sim City to the forefront of glory instead alienating fans by not listening or providing the type of game most people wanted. Its a huge a miss and an astonishing fall from grace.

New Delhi: Accusing “a Hindu nationalist government” in India of targeting minorities for “political means”, elusive Islamic preacher Dr Zakir Naik has requested the INTERPOL to turn down the Indian government’s plea and not issue a red corner notice against him.
Accessed exclusively by CNN-News18, a letter sent by Naik’s lawyers to the INTERPOL Secretary General in France has sought for a refusal to issue and publish the red notice on the ground that it does not comply with the INTERPOL’s Constitution and Rules.
Stating that “he is not a fugitive from justice,” London-based attorney Corker Binning’s letter denied allegations of money laundering and inciting terrorism while pressing for a greater vigilance in this case owing to the current political dispensation in India.
“When a Hindu nationalist government launches dubious criminal proceedings against a theologian with enormous support among India’s Muslim minority, and seeks to tarnish his reputation with vague allegations of inspiring terrorism, the need for particular vigilance is obvious,” read the letter.
It added that the Indian criminal proceedings are being misused for political means, to inhibit peaceful exercise of Dr Naik’s freedom of expression. “And to inhibit the peaceful exercise of Dr Naik’s freedom of religion, and the peaceful exercise of the right to practise their religion of Dr Naik’s followers in India and elsewhere,” said the letter.
By issuing a red notice request, Naik alleged, the Indian authorities are now seeking to misuse the processes of INTERPOL for similar purposes.
The letter also made it apparent that Naik is not going to come back to India to face the charges. “Given the apparent political and religious motivation to the charges and the obvious risk of protracted pre-trial imprisonment in harsh and violent conditions, Dr Naik’s lawyers in India advised him not to return to India until the matters could be resolved with the authorities,” it said.
Citing 2016 India Human Rights Report, Naik’s attorney also complained about what he called as “serious flaws in the Indian penal process” and “dangerous prison conditions and very lengthy pre-trial delays.”
The letter contended that “credible allegations of physical abuse during pre-trial investigations are not uncommon, particularly in terrorism-related cases and cases involving Muslims and members of other religious minorities.”
The attorney claimed that even though it was decided that Naik will not go back to India for facing prosecution, “explicit offers” for Dr Naik to co-operate with the criminal inquiry and to be interviewed by video conferencing were made. “Unfortunately those offers have not been taken up,” he said.
“Dr Naik’s response to the money laundering allegations is that they are contrived and evidently unfounded,” said the attorney, adding he was being framed on certain unsubstantiated reports that one of the assailants of the July 2016 Bangladesh terrorist attack, which had killed 29 people, was Naik’s Facebook follower.
“The suggestion that this individual had been ‘inspired’ by Dr Naik was picked up by the media in India, where a Hindu nationalist Government was (and continues to be) in power. Media reports advanced vague, unparticularised or simply false allegations that Dr Naik had condoned terrorist allegations,” read the letter.
It further pointed out Article 3 of the INTERPOL forbids the organization to undertake any intervention or activities of a political, military, religious or racial character. “We are writing with an urgent request for INTERPOL not to comply with India’s request on the basis that it was issued in breach of the strict prohibition of political or religious activities under Article 3 of INTERPOL’s Constitution,” stated the letter.

Inscribe it!!!! The true value of a book, IMHO, is in its being read again and again and again. Elise will love this copy of The Secret Garden. I have the same edition on my shelves. Classic books are meant to be kept, not resold; so inscribe the book to your daughter! (sorry, books are one thing that I have a strong opinion about!)
One of my favorites!
I understand the dilemma.
Maybe you could have it both ways: "inscribe" the book via a lovely little note (on acid free paper) that you tuck inside the cover. Use images from book to illustrate it?
Or create a beautiful, inscribed bookmark intended for this book only (think what you might do with pressed flowers and illustrations from the book!).
If she decided to part with the collection some day she would still have the note or bookmark as a keepsake from her mother.
I haven't really given any great books like that to my kids. I buy old books, but I have 2 kids close in old age, so they are for both of them. Lots have already been inscribed by the previous owners. The only time I write in them is if they are loaning them out, then I just write our last name in them so the borrowers know where they came from (although that didn't stop one little girl from marking it out with pen and trying to keep it). Although I have a Little House on the Prarie book that just has a too/from and date from my mother, and it is precious, so maybe I should inscribe them. I think they will enjoy seeing that years later. Although the lovely bookmark is a nice idea, also.
On old books, I don't inscribe. On new books that I give to the little people in my life, I always inscribe. Bet that helped ya, huh? :P
I make my own bookmark, and place that in the book.
I always write - that a good book has precious memories and associations attached IS the value of it to me. If I ever bought a fantastically rare antiquarian book worth hundreds and hundreds I would not write in it, I suppose, but as that is not likely to happen I happily write away - usually quite lengthy sagas too!
I love reading the notes and details in old books, and think it is part of the charm.
Such a lovely book, btw. Lucky Elise! Have you seen the Lord's Prayer by TT? It is very sweet too.
I am known for giving books to everyone in the family, on any occasion, and sometimes just because that person "needs" that book. I inscribe them. One of my most precious possessions is the collection of books given to me by my favorite aunt, all inscribed in her beautiful handwriting. One of my sisters has shared with me that her children, when winnowing their possessions, refuse to give up any book inscribed by me, because the comments are always so personal to that child, and pertinent to the book and reason for giving it.
But that's just my opinion.
This is something I have been thinking about because I love to have special books that are inscribed with loving words. However, I gave a 2 year old a book last year, inscribed, and I could tell the parents weren't thrilled. For a collection (that you are keeping) from you to your daughter, I would inscribe it. I only inscribe special books to our children that I believe they might want to keep forever. Since they are less than 2 years apart and share everything, I decided not to put their names in most, but it is nice to let them have their own special books. If it is for someone you aren't sure will feel so sentimental, I like the idea of putting a note on sticker paper that can be stuck into the book IF they want it there. That is what I'm planning on doing. I used to have large squares of blank "stickers" for making your own. Now I need to find out where to get some. :)
I write in newer books, besides if it is a gift of sentimental value I don't want them to sell it and/or regift it one day! :)
Like someone mentioned above if it is very old or of antique value I leave it alone (usually).
My mother always inscribed the books she gave me, even the older editions, and I do the same. I think that for a special present, the sentimental value of the inscription should outweigh the future monetary value of the book.
(I also love Tasha Tudor. I was recently given a copy of The Corgyville Fair, which brought back wonderful memories.)
If I'm giving the book to my daughter or grandchildren, I inscribe it.
Otherwise, I like to write a note and put it in the book. I figure if they want to keep it, they can always tape the note in the front cover!
Sadly, sometimes the book means more to the giver than to the recipient.At Goodwill, I bought a beautiful copy of "The Secret Garden", that had a very heartfelt, written inscription, and a lovely needlepoint book mark, still inside. It made me feel badly for the giver. In an old book, I think a nice note, written on lovely paper, and tucked inside would be just as good as writing in the book.
We love Tasha Tudor, too!
We have a pretty big children's library at home and I don't usually write in them, but books I give as gifts I almost always inscribe.
I never inscribe books. For me, the sentimental part is the handwritten note included and the memory of reading the book. But I'm rather a minimalist when it comes to keepsakes. I'm greatly inspired by your creativity that you share on your blog, btw.
It depends on the book. I tend to tuck a card inside because I don't care if my gift is re-gifted, I just want to please the giver and if I didn't, and if she's thrifty, more power to her for de-cluttering or making a little cash : )
personal quirk: I love FINDING vintage books with inscriptions in that lovely old Palmer handwriting method "To: Edith 1910". But I don't like finding newer titles (I'm currently collecting Peter Spier) that read something like "To: Madison, Easter 1997" and wish those had been left unscribed.
This was my favorite book growing up! I love the pictures. It was inscribed from my great-grandmother for my birthday. She is gone now and I love to read who gave me my treasured books. Definitely inscribe it!
I think inscriptions add to the sentimental value immensely. That said, I'm with Debbie--unless giving a gift to one's own child or similar intimate, one has no way of knowing if the recipient already has that book. So my own child, I often do inscribe; for gifts to others, I leave untouched.
As a huge Tasha Tudor fan, I'm in the process of collecting all of her books. Several of mine have come from yard sales.
i have this book saved from my childhood. also a child's garden of verses. they are precious!
I don't think an inscription lessens the value of a book. I love buying a book and finding one and reading who gave it and when and for what reason. Makes it more interesting to me.

Assessment of current mass spectrometric workflows for the quantification of low abundant proteins and phosphorylation sites.
ABSTRACT: The data described here provide a systematic performance evaluation of popular data-dependent (DDA) and independent (DIA) mass spectrometric (MS) workflows currently used in quantitative proteomics. We assessed the limits of identification, quantification and detection for each method by analyzing a dilution series of 20 unmodified and 10 phosphorylated synthetic heavy labeled reference peptides, respectively, covering six orders of magnitude in peptide concentration with and without a complex human cell digest background. We found that all methods performed very similarly in the absence of background proteins, however, when analyzing whole cell lysates, targeted methods were at least 5-10 times more sensitive than directed or DDA methods. In particular, higher stage fragmentation (MS3) of the neutral loss peak using a linear ion trap increased dynamic quantification range of some phosphopeptides up to 100-fold. We illustrate the power of this targeted MS3 approach for phosphopeptide monitoring by successfully quantifying 9 phosphorylation sites of the kinetochore and spindle assembly checkpoint component Mad1 over different cell cycle states from non-enriched pull-down samples. The data are associated to the research article 'Evaluation of data-dependent and data-independent mass spectrometric workflows for sensitive quantification of proteins and phosphorylation sites? (Bauer et al., 2014) . The mass spectrometry and the analysis dataset have been deposited to the ProteomeXchange Consortium (http://proteomecentral.proteomexchange.org) via the PRIDE partner repository with the dataset identifier PXD000964.

NC: Protecting National Council (NC) members’ apolitical character, ensuring primacy of national issues and perceptions of the house are some of the challenges the house faces, NC chairperson, said Dasho (Dr) Sonam Kinga.
During his deliberation on parliamentary processes and procedures with the media yesterday, the chairperson said that while there are measures in place to ensure that a member of the National Council is not affiliated with any political parties as of today, NC should maintain this character in years to come.
Citing his own example of how some members alerted him of rumours going around that he might lead a political party in the next election, Dasho (Dr) Sonam Kinga said that he assured the members that while he cannot stop the rumours from doing the rounds he would never do such a thing as a NC member. “NC members must resign before they affiliate themselves with a [political] party.”
He also said that the NC should ensure that the focus is more on national issues than the issues of constituencies.
Dasho (Dr) Sonam Kinga also said that it is important for NC to be understood in its own merit. “The general perception of NC as of today is that of a training ground for National Assembly,” he said. “NC is also perceived as Opposition.”
Highlighting the role of NC, the chairperson said NC balances regional imbalances, executive excesses and legislative limitations. “NC also conducts non-partisan reviews.”
Asserting the NC’s character as apolitical, pure, neutral, independent and a continuous House, Dasho (Dr) Sonam Kinga said that the NC has equal legislative powers and can originate bills, except money bills.
He also highlighted the NC’s achievements and said that the House has initiated amendment of existing laws, reviewed and passed government bills and budget, and ensured bills and policy decisions adhered to Constitution.
Adding that because the NC belongs to the people, the people need to know more about the dynamics of how the institution works and the dynamics of the institution’s decision-making processes.
The chairperson also said the NC has now started engaging with the media and created structured press conferences.

The Malawi Supreme Court of Appeal will on March 24 2020 resume hearing the case of former president Bakili Muluzi. Muluzi is accused of diverting K1.7 billion of public money to his personal account during his presidency.
A court schedule at the Malawi Supreme Court of Appeal, dated December 16 2019, signed by High Court and Malawi Supreme Court of Appeal registrar Agnes Patemba, indicates that the highest court in the country has assigned nine Supreme Court judges led by Chief Justice Andrew Nyirenda to hear the case in Blantyre.
Other judges in the case, which has entered its 14th year having started in 2006, are Edward Twea, Jane Ansah who is also Malawi Electoral Commission (MEC) chairperson, Rezine Mzikamanda, Anaclet Chipeta, Lovemore Chikopa, Frank Kapanda, Dunstain Mwaungulu and Anthony Kamanga.
Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) director Reyneck Matemba in an interview last week expressed concern over the slow pace of the case.
He said: “None of us in the ACB is happy with the status regarding this case. We need to find a way of disposing this case, once and for all. We cannot continue like this.
“All parties involved in this matter have to play their rightful role. As ACB, we will do our part to ensure that the case is disposed of. But as ACB, we can only do so much, there are a lot of vested interests in this matter. Besides, a lot of taxpayers’ money has been spent on this case, the longer the case drags, the more we continue to provide a disservice to the people of Malawi.”
According to Matemba, the position of the case is that Muluzi’s lawyers obtained a stay of the criminal proceedings in the High Court pending his application to the Constitutional Court where he is challenging the constitutionality of Section 32 of the Corrupt Practices Act.
He said: “You might recall that one of the charges that we levelled against him relates to possession of unexplained property, which is an offence under Section 32 of the Corrupt Practices Act.”
Lawyer representing Muluzi, Tamando Chokotho, said the defence was waiting for the Malawi Supreme Court of Appeal to set dates for hearing the case.
In November last year, the Legal Affairs Committee of Parliament asked ACB to update the nation on the status of the case, arguing that it has gone on for too long.
Committee chairperson Kezzie Msukwa asked ACB to either prosecute Muluzi or dismiss the case if the State was not interested in prosecuting him.
Muluzi, 76, the country’s first multiparty president who ruled Malawi from 1994 to 2004, is answering to corruption charges alongside his former personal secretary Lyness Whiskey.
He is being accused of diverting K1. 7 billion, which government alleges was public funds, to his person bank account during his reign. Muluzi was taken to court by the State in 2006 during Bingu wa Mutharika’s reign but for 14 years the case has not made progress.

“King of Comedy” held only a week in vision. The long story short was my movies that have been vision in the vision for less than four weeks. Netflix is three-four weeks in advance of the vision in advance and promised to keep it in the vision after it put it in digital.
– I want to explain the story visually clean, clearly without escaping the oversight. In other words, I wanted to discard the excess and tell the film like novel. The cinema did not have to be obliged to have 2-2 and a half hours. Anyways! Now let’s come to the topic; “Movie must be followed in the cinema” … This project was to make my priority film. We are experiencing revolution in the cinema. Making a movie now, there are more opportunities to tell the story, there are more ways. Cinema is a visual art. Different form of young people different. They go into a different world by pressing a single button. I don’t belong to that world. I don’t want to be close to that world.
The definition of the cinema changes. Some things are also shocking me. Now the film is drawn on the phone and we cannot resist this new form.
. While the cinema is redefined, “Marvel movies are not a cinema,” you have fired the roke of a new discussion. Why did you make such a comment?
– The cinema was created in this country (America) and at the same time in France. The cinema is undisputed is one of the most awesome, most wonderful, unusual art branches. From the beginning, the world has changed, communication changed, art has changed. Superhero movies have been over the past few years to increase and take the cinema experience. Do you think we have room in movies to our movies to the movies that tell me the movies?
– Yes! I didn’t say superhero movies bad. Yes, amused movies. Yes movies that attract the audience. Yes movies that fill the movie theaters. Halls also have to make money. I understand!
“Singing in the Rain” real cinema. Cinema in “Moonlight” a few years ago. Do you want to make a superhero movie? Do! Have a nice trip. May the biggest bottlies do. But please don’t say “the biggest opening of the cinema history” for those movies.
They can make the biggest opening at the box office but not on the history of the cinema. These two separate things. For this reason, the work has turned to the vision of a superhero film in two months. So art?
When I say art “Oh old man at work, what will our kids watch in the cinema!” they say. Hitchcock movies were box office films in my childhood. I remember watching the “Psycho” on the third day of the opening at the Demille Cinema in New York. It was a gorgeous experience. Now … What is the difference between Hitchcock movies and superhero films?
– 10 years later, you learn something new every time you watch the Hitchcock movie 10 years later. You connect with yourself. Because those movies describe our weak sides, our weaknesses, madities, failures, our dilemmas, spiritual conflicts. Only the good guy doesn’t kill the bad man and save the world.
I repeat; Superhero movies can be done very well. But they need our stories to understand young people, human and life experience.

In the middle of Tokyo’s bustling commercial area of Shinjuku lies a slice of old Japan, where hundreds of tiny back-to-back bars create one of the coolest places in the world for a tipple. The experience: unmissable, fascinating and impressive.
I’ve never seen anything like it. Alley after alley – each too narrow to fit even a small car; some intersecting ones wide enough for just one person – lined with hundreds of back-to-back ramshackle bars that seat no more than a handful. A sense of mystery oozes through the passageways that show quick appearances of different characters ducking in or out – young, old, businessmen, arty types and a small dollop of tourists.
I’m in Tokyo’s nightlife district Golden Gai, a glimpse of Japan’s recent past with its tiny two-storey buildings. Despite the great 1923 earthquake and even fire in the 80’s, the area miraculously survived retaining its original architecture whereas more than half of the city redeveloped with concrete high-rises. Walls decorated in provocative posters, animal heads, autographs, biology diagrams; hubs for poets, cat-themed joints, art exhibitions, theatres, bartenders in nurse outfits… Each distinct bar caters for a specific clientele. While it’s easy to spot those that cater to tourists (spot English signs), the Golden ‘District’ is first and foremost for the locals.
It’s 10pm on a Thursday evening and either everyone’s hidden underground so well that this confined area appears rather quiet in Shinjuku’s CBD – I feel like I’ve stumbled across a hidden gem -, or the renowned city that doesn’t sleep does sleep (on weeknights anyway) after all. Whichever, I’m keen to check one of these watering holes out.
“Which one?” tonight’s partner in crime – my mother – asks me, overwhelmed with choices.
“The only one with the ‘jazz music’ sign,” I respond, thinking it’d be a safer option for mother-daughter time as opposed to its grungy-walled neighbours. Extra points for that I love the genre.
A steep dark stairway leads us to a dimly lit timber-walled space centred around an L-shaped bar seating nine people. There’s no live jazz (physically impractical) but this is quickly forgiven with the quality records that crisply pour through the intimate room. Drop lamps hang close to patrons’ heads and out of the shadows I see a typical Japanese salaryman with a loosened tie sitting ever so contently by himself, his eyes closed with a cigarette in one hand, swishing his fingers in the air to the rhythm. A young couple talk amongst themselves in the corner. Thousands of jazz CDs and cassettes are piled up against the walls and ceilings, and for what spaces are left are posters of legendary musicians, abstract photos and wooden hangers for coats.
Not every bar requires a cover charge but this time, for a small fee of 400 yen ($5) per person, Mum and I are seated comfortably and relax over refreshing Yebisu (Japanese beer) and addictive bar snacks served by the one-man team: a grey-haired fellow dressed in army-print pants and a beaten sweater who appears stern but softens with a warm smile once you speak to him. He’s a man of many stories.
The solo male patron looks up: “Yesterday…” he says to all of us, taking a sip out of his bourbon, “… in 1991, Miles Davis passed away.” With sheer honour of the departed artist, he hands over to me the CD cover of what’s spinning: ‘Miles Davis – Cookin’ at the Plugged Nickel’. We smile in acknowledgement, continuing to bop our heads into the night.
Dig a little deeper in Tokyo and you’ll find peaceful joy amongst locals in a quirky joint like this. This is only the beginning of a memorable experience in one tiny bar amongst another 200 more packed in this fascinating slice of old Japan.

HOW TO GET THERE
Golden Gai is a few minutes walk from the East Exit of Shinjuku Station. The address is 1 Kabukicho, Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo.
- Forget the guidebook. OK, only if you must. But this is the best place for aimless wandering to stumble across some place surprisingly special.
- Be mindful that some bars only welcome regulars. Entering a bar with a warm smile and reading the bartender’s reaction worked for me.
- Skip the crowds and visit on a weeknight. Golden Gai comes to life after 9-10pm each night, but there’s less chance of rubbing shoulders with people on work evenings!
