Leeds United have sacked manager Marcelo Bielsa amid the club’s poor league form, and revealed when a new manager will be appointed at Elland Road.
Bielsa had come under pressure following defeats to Manchester United and Liverpool, during which the Whites had conceded 10 goals. And the West Yorkshire outfit failed to bounce back on Saturday, losing 4-0 to Antonio Conte’s Tottenham at home.
Leeds have now wielded the axe by confirming the departure of 66-year-old Bielsa, who had been in charge since July 2018.
Bielsa was pivotal to Leeds’ Premier League return, guiding them to the Championship title during his second season at the helm.
But his team have been badly affected by injuries this campaign and are now terribly low on confidence. They have not won since mid-January and are just two points off the relegation zone.
Club chairman Andrea Radrizzani revealed just how hard it had been to move on from the fan favourite.
“This has been the toughest decision I have had to make during my tenure at Leeds United, taking into account all the success Marcelo has had at the club,” Radrizzani said.
Leeds chairman thanks Marcelo Bielsa
“With Marcelo as our head coach, we had three incredible campaigns and the good times returned to Elland Road. He changed the culture of the club and brought a winning mentality to us all. The moments created, particularly in the 2019/20 season and winning promotion to the Premier League, will of course live long in all our memories, myself and the fans included.
“However, I have to act in the best interest of the club. I believe a change is required now in order to secure our Premier League status. Recent results and performances have not met our expectations.
“We find ourselves in a precarious league position. I feel now is the right time to bring in a new head coach, in order to have an impact in the decisive stage of the season.
“Naturally, myself, along with everyone else at the club would like to thank Marcelo for his efforts and achievements and we wish him the very best for the future.”
Whites could soon appoint successor
In the club statement, it was revealed that Bielsa’s successor would be announced on Monday. It is most likely to be RB Leipzig’s former American coach Jesse Marsch.
Leeds director of football Victor Orta also gave his reaction to Bielsa’s departure. “Since arriving at Leeds United Marcelo had a huge impact on the club. On a scale I have not seen before,” the chief said.
“He has created a legacy, overseeing major infrastructure improvements at Thorp Arch, uniting the supporters and the players, and giving a clear pathway for young players to transition into the first team.
“It is disappointing his reign has had to end in this manner, given the special times we have enjoyed in recent years, which have been some of the best in my career. But we cannot hide from recent results.
“I would like to thank Marcelo Bielsa for his commitment and dedication. I wish him every success going forwards.”
Leeds are planning to honour Bielsa’s legacy at Elland Road with a permanent tribute, which could come in the form of a statue.

Hewlett-Packard Co. hit the Consumer Electronics Show floor in Las Vegas today with Google’s Android in a way we’re not used to seeing – on an all-in-one (AiO) desktop computer.
HP says its first commercial Android AiO, the HP Slate 21 ProAiO, is one of the latest additions to its line of touch-based business desktop portfolio. It “offers seamless integration with Android-based phones and tablets with auto-syncing and Google Cloud Services,” HP says in a press release. “It also provides access to efficient manageability tools, security enhancements and apps available through the Google Play store.
Intended for office productivity, the education sector, and in-store kiosks, the HP Slate 21 Pro AiO has a 21.5-inch HD touch screen with a stand that can recline up to a 70 degree angle. Its powered by a Nvidia Tegra 4 quad-core processor running at 1.66 Ghz, 2 GB of DDR3 RAM, and offers 16 GB of flash storage. Ports along the side offer USB 2.0, a headphone/microphone combo, and an SD card reader. Ports on the back offer two more USB 2.0 connections, RJ45 Ethernet, HDMI input, and USB 2.0 upstream.
Running Google’s Android 4.3 and comes with pre-installed software Kingsoft Office Suite, Google Docs, Google Drive, and Citrix XenMobile. Buyers also get 50 GB of free cloud storage with Box.
While testing the waters on an Android-based desktop for businesses, HP is careful to make clear the device is both flexible and secure. The HDMI input means another PC running Windows or Mac could be connected to the 21.5″ screen to be used as a monitor, and users could toggle back and forth between the Android OS and the connected PC, although why you’d want to do so isn’t really clear.
An option that may be more appealing to some businesses is picking up these low-cost AiO computers as an alternative to thin client computers that run a virtual desktop hosted by a central server. Businesses could deploy Citrix Receiver on the Slate 21 Pro and deliver a virtual Windows 8 desktop to users, who could take advantage of the touch-based interface.
HP also underlines the inclusion of XenMobile, a mobile device management app that allows IT managers to deploy restricted profiles on Android devices and manage apps installed on them, mitigating security risks.
The HP Slate21 Pro AiO is expected to be available in Canada towards the end of April, starting at $429, which includes a keyboard and a mouse.
HP also announced other Windows-based AiO workstations at CES today:
The HP ProOne 400 AiO G1 is a stylish, space-saving Windows®-based AiO business PC that delivers small and mid-sized businesses (SMBs) true value, along with essential security and productivity features, including an available touchscreen option.The HP 205 AiO is a Windows-based AiO business PC that is powerful enough to handle everyday workplace computing tasks while offering reliability and affordability.The HP Z1 G2 is the second generation of the world’s first and only AiO workstation with a 27-inch diagonal display, now available with Windows 8 Touch and Intel® Thunderbolt™2(2) capabilities.

- Jose Mourinho has stated that his counterpart Mikel Arteta will bounce back
- Arsenal have recorded six losses in their last nine matches in all competitions
- Tottenham got the better of the Gunners in the entertaining north London derby
Jose Mourinho has defended Mikel Arteta after the north London derby went in favour of Tottenham.
Arsenal continued to struggle on the domestic scene after losing the game by 2-0 courtesy of two first half goals from Son Heung-min and Harry Kane.
The Gunners remain in the bottom half of the table while Mourinho's men maintained top spot with goal-difference despite Liverpool's win over Wolves.
Despite arsenal's impressive performance, they could not break Tottenham's resistance and Mourinho has leaped to the defence of Arteta to bounce back.
"It was a big game in every sense, not just because it was Tottenham-Arsenal.
"I want to give words, congratulations to Mikel Arteta because he gave us a very difficult game. Tactically they are very good, very organised.
"They gave us problems, problems we were able to resolve. They have a good tactical courage and incredible spirt. They are a good team and he is a good coach.
"We were reading the game and making the changes to win it because 2-0 was in our hands against a great and difficult opponents but my boys did well today.
"I am very happy with the result and the performance but of course I want the team in the second half to play in a different way.
"In reality you don't always do what you want to do because your opponent forces you in a different direction.
"You are winning 2-0, why would you expose your defensive block if you don't have to? It was a very difficult game.
"I can imagine tomorrow the headlines will about them not being in a good position in the table but I believe with these players and Mikel it will be Arsenal v Tottenham again."
Meanwhile, Legit.ng had earlier reported that Tottenham went back top of the Premier League table following their 2-0 in over Arsenal in the London derby.
Two first-half goals from Heung-Min Son and Harry Kane was enough for Spurs to retain top spot in the English topflight division.
The London derby was full of excitement as Jose Mourinho's side hosted their rivals with 2,000 fans watching at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

2011 has been a long year. Yes, my book was published, which was wonderful. And yes, it’s getting great reviews. But personally, life has been hard. I was diagnosed with a third invisible disease this year. My husband’s decline has worsened. But my faith has increased and I feel blessed every day to have a home, and family and friends, and to know where my next meal is coming from–things that a lot of Americans don’t have these days.
The plan for 2012 is to finish book two of the Trey Fontaine Mystery series and get it published while promoting book one. I have been close to bed ridden for a while now, able to get up, but without energy or strength. So my health is going to have to come first. My plan for that is to increase my supplements, eat better, and move a little more. And I’m hoping to finally find a solution to the pain issue.
For now, I still want to add to my journal daily and will try again to do that. Please bear with me as I push forward.

On the night of January 15th, a date better known to the rest of the world as the birthdate of Sean “They Call Me the John Wooden of Junior Varsity” Saucier, Unique Potential Squared off against Team Sizer. The previous matchup saw Unique Potential come out victorious 7-4, and Team Sizer were going to experience a bit of deja vu on this evening.
The game started with a bit of slow play from both teams, but Team Sizer drew first blood. After struggling to find possession, creative link up play between Nick “I Don’t Need My Ankles Anyway” Nowak and Charles “My Brother’s Friend’s Uncle’s Neighbor’s Mailman’s Nephew’s Brother in Law’s Mom’s Son Was Drafted into the MLS Today” Escalante equalized the score. The game went back and forth through the half seeing goals from Peter “My Game is Comparable to Messi” Bugoni and a couple added by Christie “AHHHHHHH” Barnes. Aggressive defense from Kayla “My goal is to be on the Bachelor, make it into the top 4, then have my own Bachelorette Show” Sheehan (and that nickname is only a slightly modified direct quote) and solid passing from Amanda “Its Too Bad the Indoor Soccer Budget Isn’t Big Enough to Get Uniforms that Fit” Fuller kept the game close at half.
The second half proved to be much kinder to Unique Potential as their work rate out shined the Team Sizer. John “The Anchor” Rigney and Jackie “Lemme Lay the Smackdown” Lemme held down the fort in the back, while offensive pressure from Tom “You Can’t Play Soccer in Skis?” Draper gave Unique Potential some breathing room. It beginning to sound a bit redundant, but yet again Russ “I’ll Play Goalie Without My Hands” Varney had a stellar game in goal, showing significant aggression in coming off his line to help out in defense.
Unique Potential topped Team Sizer 6-4 to improve our record to 4-2-2 on the season. Next week we play Liverpool, an opportunity for us to jump from 3rd to 2nd in the standings.
We’re on to Liverpool!

My wife outright refuses to read the Black Freighter portions of Watchmen. Every time I press her on the issue, she complains, “They’re boring! I don’t want to read about pirates!”
I have a nearly perfect marriage with one exception: my wife and I fight about comics. I’ll never forget our first fight, back when we were dating, over Kingdom Come. We’ve fought over which version of the Flash we prefer, whether or not Batman Begins was a good movie, and who is the best female role-model in the DC Universe.
One of our more memorable brawls was over the subject of the Black Freighter.
“But the Black Freighter is essential to the overall story,” I tried to explain.
“It isn’t essential! I understood the story just fine without reading some boring story about pirates. It’s completely unnecessary, wordy, and it makes me fall asleep.”
It wasn’t until we sat down and watched the Ultimate Cut of Watchmen the film that she finally saw the whole story of the Black Freighter, but it doesn’t do the story justice. Within the context of the Ultimate Cut, the Black Freighter loses all of its subtext. In the movie, the Black Freighter is nothing more than a pirate story.
To be clear: the Black Freighter is so much more than just a simple story about pirates.
All at once, the Black Freighter is a metaphor for escapism, for art reflecting life, for the journey of Ozymandius, and so much more. Above all, if Watchmen is a metaphor for art reflecting life of 1980s, then the Black Freighter is a metaphor for art reflecting art of the time.
Not only is the Black Freighter essential to the overall world of Watchmen, it also elevates the comic and makes it literary. While it may seem like merely a story about pirates, this simple tale allows for the work to become meta-critical. The Black Freighter allows for Moore to comment on the state of comic books and the state of the world.
Super-hero comic books provide escapism for many readers, but in a world populated by superheroes, where can readers escape? The answer is: pirate comic books.
The first page of issue three begins with haunting narration from the Black Freighter comic book. “Delirious, I saw that Hell-bound ship’s sails against the yellow Indies sky and knew again the stench of power and men’s brains, and war.” This narration is in front of a nuclear fallout shelter sign so that the use of the “yellow” and “black” colors can be enhanced by the shelter sign. In this very same panel, there also a line of dialogue that reads, “We oughtta nuke Russia, and let God sort it out.”
With this very first panel, the reader learns the function of the Black Freighter storyline before it has even really begun. Big Bernie runs a newsstand, and he likes to discuss politics and the problems of the world, but Lil Bernie uses the comic to escape the horrific reality of the world around him. Another way to look at the scene could also be that Lil Bernie has no desire to care about the world around him. He’s a representative for the youth culture of the time – uncaring about world politics; they would rather escape into their fiction than have to think about world issues. In fact, this latter interpretation could further be explored just by looking at the other youths in the book. Everyone is over the age of thirty with the exception of Lil Bernie and the gang that beats Hollis Mason to death.
The remainder of that first page plays up the comparisons between art and life, as the second panel has Big Bernie mention headlines as the Black Freighter narration mentions “heads nailed to the prow.” Most striking of all is the last panel where the narration says, “offering up my wretched soul to almighty God, his mercy and his judgment,” and Big Bernie states after his rant on nuking the Russians, “course, that’s just my opinion.”
Visual and textual jokes are numerous in the first three pages of the issue, but the most important is on the fourth panel of the second page where Big Bernie says, “See, everything’s connected. A newsvendor unnerstands that. He don’t retreat from reality.” Moore is spelling out his message right here, but it’s one that can be interpreted in many ways. Big Bernie is caught up in world politics to the point of a ranting, hysterical fervor while Lil Bernie escapes to avoid reality. Moore leaves it to the reader to decide on this issue. The reader could either write off Big Bernie as a raving lunatic and escape into the comic-book world, or the reader could accuse Lil Bernie of being unaware of the world around him.
On a metatextual level, throughout Watchmen, when the series’s world feels too heavy and dense, the audience is allowed to escape into the world of the Black Freighter. The struggle of our protagonist is violent, graphic, and horrifying. He struggles to reach his family, and it makes the reader forget about the overall mystery of the actual Watchmen comic. It distracts the reader much like distracts Lil Bernie from the events around him.
Art Reflecting Life
The story of the Black Freighter begins with the protagonist floating among the wreckage of his old ship. He is broken and beaten, but he must collect all of the courage he can muster to pick up the pieces and defeat the titular ship of doom. Meanwhile, the heroes of Watchmen are in a similar position with the Keene Act all but destroying them. Rorschach still resolves to continue as a hero despite insurmountable odds. He is like the nameless protagonist of the Black Freighter as he tries to overcome an obstacle that is too big for him to defeat. The fact that both characters, at times, take over the narration of the book does much to enhance this connection.
Another way to look at the Black Freighter is that it represents impending doom. It is inevitable and unstoppable as it floats towards the unsuspecting village just as an impending nuclear war seems inevitable in the world of the Watchmen. On page 25 of issue three, the Black Freighter’s narration says, “I saw the Black Freighter bearing down on all I loved, but I was powerless to stop it.” At the bottom of this same page, Big Bernie is visibly shaken as he reads the headline that “Russians Invade Afghanistan.” He gives the comic book to Lil Bernie and sits in fear of the future, while Lil Bernie runs off completely oblivious.
An interesting thing to think about is the fact that neither Bernie understands the significance of their relationship. They don’t realize that they have a symbiotic relationship that derives meaning from one another. Without Big Bernie, the Black Freighter comic would have no significance because it would be just another pirate comic, and without Lil Bernie, Big Bernie’s worries would be nothing more than a rant.
Likewise, art and life draw significance from one another. Experiences from life shape art, and art enhances the beauty of life. It’s this symbiotic relationship that forms meaning in our own lives.
Art Reflecting Art
The supplemental material for issue five has a Black Freighter retrospective where we learn that E.C. comics (makers of Tales from the Crypt in our world) had a line of pirate comics. In Watchmen‘s world, we learn that there was a “brief surge of anti-comic book sentiment in the mid-fifties, while it could conceivably have damaged E.C. as a company, had instead come to nothing and left them stronger as a result.” Of course, in our world, E.C. was completely destroyed by the anti-comic sentiment of the ’50s and the Comics Code Authority.
One could argue that Moore is standing up for the C.C.A. and Fredric Wertham in this statement. In the world of Watchmen, the C.C.A. wasn’t formed, and comics weren’t censored. Therefore, comic books with adult themes were ever-present for decades, and perhaps this is why the world is in the state that it is in. No morality in comics means Richard Nixon continues to be President. With no one to take a stance on what is right and wrong in the world of comic books, Adrian Veidt is able to formulate his insane sense of morality, and this leads him to concoct the plan that brings about the death of millions.
Granted, the C.C.A. and Seduction of the Innocent represent extreme forms of censorship that infringed upon freedom of speech and took the jobs of many people, but Moore seems to suggest that the morality behind the censorship helped shape our world today. Or at the very least, he suggests that Watchmen‘s view of morality is flexible, which is why the C.C.A. never came into existence, why Richard Nixon could extend his term as President, and why Veidt can easily reach the conclusion that killing half of New York is the only way to achieve world peace.
In fact, it’s even fun to think about what the pirate comic-book industry would be like today. With the moral corruption of the Watchmen world, the speculator market of the ’90s would probably have killed the entire industry. If it did survive, what would the Image Comics version of pirate comics look like? Would Warren Ellis revitalize the pirate comic industry by using pirates as a metaphor for militarization? Would DC put Frank Miller on an “All-Star Black Freighter?” Would the Watchmen version of Grant Morrison cause a revival of ’50s and ’60s pirate comics? Probably not, but only because Watchmen is made by Alan Moore, and in Moore’s world, there’s no room for Morrison.
Sure, the Black Freighter is a little long-winded and boring. There is no denying it.
But without the comic within a comic, Watchmen would lose so much of what makes it a brilliant commentary on escapism, the industry, and on the very nature of life itself.

Originally from Aspen, Colorado, artist Anton Uhl has settled in Boston after living in 12 cities including New York, Paris and Los Angeles. He says, “I love Boston and its people, and I am thriving in my artist’s loft in the beautiful South End. I am grateful to be raising my two children in this intelligent and tolerant city.” Previously, Uhl worked as an international set designer for opera, television and film before shifting to art full time when the demand for his private art commissions became too great.
Uhl’s current body of work focuses on male nudes and portraits. “I want to celebrate the beauty of the male form at all ages. While many artists simply portray the male nude as a classic subject, my goal is to encourage other men to recognize and appreciate their own inherent beauty and self-worth as they age,” he says. “I have always been an openly gay man. Most of my current clients are gay men and couples. My paintings are intended to be sensual and provocative without being offensive. In a society that is still struggling with tolerance, I want to make a statement about the importance of the freedom to choose whom we love.”
The artist’s medium of choice is oil on canvas or board. And as he grows older, Uhl says he is far more excited by greater abstractions of color and form than mere literal depictions of his subjects. His next exhibition will take place at Piano Craft Gallery from July 28 to August 2. —

London/Brighton-based prog band Poly-Math have premiered their brand new single Zenith (Vel Cut) with Prog, which you can listen to below.
Zenith is the title track of the quintet's upcoming fourth album, set for release on through the Nice Weather For Airstrikes label on November 18.
"Zenith (Vel Cut) was written to be a battle between saxophone and guitar," the band explain. "It's the opening track on the record, and was the first track that we recorded with saxophone. A lot of the parts were largely improvised to create an unpredictable slow-building cacophony throughout the song."
Zenith sees the addition of saxophonist Chris Olsen to the bands line-up, and the album sees Poly-Math moving away from previous experimentation with expansive soundscapes and field recordings, focussing on concentrated, succinct songs featuring the band's trademark playing style and riffs.
The band will undertake a tour of Ireland and the UK in support of the album. You can view the dates, the new album artwork and tracklisitng below.

I do 23 June 2022: Sanam finds out about the conspiracy of tanveer behind making ahil think that he murdered his father, by deducing about her trap from the actual time of death mentioned in the old newspaper. She is horrified that some mother can do that to her own son. She thinks that she would have to tell ahil about this. Sanam walks out oblivious that dilshads is wheeling out after her, trying hard to get her attention but in vain. then she sits in the car and drives on, while not knowing that dilshad too has desperately latched onto the car, and is wheeling alongwith her car.
In the auto, razia thinks that the game tanver started 20 years back shall be put to end by her today as she gets back everything that tanveer snatched from her 20 years ago, and eyes seher who is all ready for the party, that she is going to help her do it. Seher meanwhile, thinks that she doesnt know what she is doing, and where she is going, but one thing is for sure that tonight her life is about to change and that she would never again revert back to feelings and emotions and do what she does best, Fraud and debautchery.
meanwhile, rehaan vows in front of the Lord, that after tonight’s party, she would leave everything and all relations and go away from all this.Ahil in the car thinks that he and sanam and their relation deserves another chabce and he would stand by sanam’s side even if he has to fight the whole world for it. tanveer thinks that now noone shall be able to get her away from rehaan and her only dream has to be complete today, by sanam’s help, so that she can give rehaan the motherly love and the property that he rightfully deserves and she wanst able to deliver ever. She thinks that today sanam shall fulfill the ultimate mother son relation that she always craved for.
In her car, Sanam is very scared, as she is about to tell about Tanveer’s bad intentions, and that today is the true test of whether love prevails or traps. Dilshad, behind the car, hopes that seher and sanam are alright, and that 20 years back, tanveer and razia ruined their family, and she accepted it as God’s will, but this time she wont let god or Razia and tanveer ruin her daughter’s life again. Dilshad prays to the lord to keep them safe, and get seher to come to her senses and not fall for razia’s conniving acts. All the characters are tensed with their issues.
Location: In the
Rahat stands bare torsoed, setting the room for a romantic setting, by lighting incense and scented candles, and is mesmerised as Haya walks out just wearing his shirt, embarassed and shy and nervous, while looking extremely sensual. While she tries to duck, rahat is unable to get his eyes off her. They engage in a romantic eyelock. As she walks stealthily, she slips, and inadvertently, as fate would have it, falls right in Rahat’s arms, engaging in a romantic embrace and eyelock. She lowers her eyes in shyness, as he sensually caresses her face and the hair. They are aware of their new found intimacy.
being the gentleman that he is, he refrains himself, and moves away, but haya catches on his hand and looks on invitingly. Rahat turns around and gets close to her yet again, as she wraps her hands around her shoulders. He kisses her on the forehead, and then moving on to other spots, sensistising her, by caressing around the nape of her neck. Finally as she prepares herself, he leans in and brings his lips close to hers, but at the final moment, he remembers faiz’s proposal, and then eyes haya, who has her lips puckered and her eyes closed, tensedly and jerks himself away. haya gets tensed to see his reaction. The door is knocked, and rahat thinks that her clothes came back and goes to get them, while haya is nervous.as haya goes to gte the dress change, rahat reprimands himself for losing his control, as the more he gets closer to hger, the more painful it would be for him to detatch from her. He is tensed.
Location: Party Venue
As ahil drops tanveer, and she gets out, she hears rehaan preparing and getting arrangements done, and calls from behind, saying that she feels good that he is prepping so nicely, and commends him for his beautiful work in this project and says that she knows he would handle this business very easily. meanwhile, ahil goes to park his car. Rehaan is tensed. Tanveer tells rehaan that finally that day has come that she wanted for so long, and whose dreams that she has been seeing, and now there wont be any problems in their life. Rehaan says that actually there wont be any problems, as she would get what she wants and he would do what he wants, as this is his last project and once the event ends, he would leave this place forever. Just then ahil comes in asking what. rehaan is tensed, while tanveer is shocked.
He asks where would rehaan go, and he answers that he would go to a plce where noone can bother her. Tanveer stops an arguement from being ensued that first the event is important after that things can be planned and finalised.Dilshad desperately latches on, while sanam is still tensed about ahil’s emotional outburst when he sees her evidence. Sanam’s car topples over as it hits a rock. Sanam’s car hits a tree and dilshad is shocked wondering how is sanam, as her own hands are wounded. she asks the driver to drive properly. Sanam finds that her saree is stuck. As sanam desperately tries to take out the corner of the saree stuck in the car, she is oblivious that at the same time, sehere who noticed their accident, walks towards them to find out whats the matter, stopping her own car and upseeting razia too.
dilshad too is oblivious of seher’s increasing approach towards them. As dilshad turns around finally, she is shocked to find seher, the girl that she had thought that she lost forever, and gets emotionally overwhelmed and boggled too, as past memories of both the girls playing together flash before her. Razia rtoo sees that its sanam in the car and is shocked, that the girls shall confront each other now. the screen freezes on her face.Razia rushedly comes out of the car, to save seher from seeing sanam. dilshad is distraught, while razia forcibly drags her back in the car.
Seher thinks that she feels that there was someone from her own connection in that car. Razia and seher drive off. meanwhile, sanam finds the file that had fallen down and then drives off. Dilshad wonders what the lord wants, and that how long he plans to play with the three of them, she and her two granddaughters.
Location: Party Venue
While tanveer is asked by reporters, ahil is praised by tanveer for the success of this venture. ahil places a shoulder against tanveer as she tells about his success. Ahil is asked who is behind this success of his, his mother or his wife. He says that it isnt necessary for one woman to be in his life for his success. tanveer is happy when he starts praising her, but then when he goes onto talk about sanam, also being behind his success, and she gets frustrated. rehaan thinks that he could tell ahil about the woman who he thinks is God, and actually wants to ruin his life. tanveer comes to him, and he formally asks if she wants anything. she says that his anger is justified, and that without his permission, he was sent here, and today she gave the entire credit to Ahil, but again expresses her helplessness, in not acclaiming him, instead of ahil.
she says that whatever she did, was for him, and to complete them, and says that finally this is the day that they waited for, when ahil and sanam sign the property papers, in front of everyone, and that after that, he wont go anywhere as a son canm be angry but not desert his own mother. she asks him if he would leave her or not. He asks what difference would it make, as the day that she wwaited for so long has finally arrived, and asks her to enjoy herself, and not bother over him, as he isnt habituated to this care. He curtly replies that if she needs anything, she can tell him, and her wish shall be her servant’s command. He leaves, while she is frustrated.
While the celebrations are on in full swing, tanveer instructs azhar’s parents to take care that everything goes smoothly, and sanam isnt able to talk to ahil. Ahil is unable to get through sanam. tanveer comes and asks about whats he doing. He says that he was trying sanam’s call. Tanveer tells him that she is on her way, as she just had a talk with the driver. A person comes and congratulates ahil for his success. Just then, sanam enters and ahil is mesmerised as he looks at her beauty. they confront each other and eye each other overwhelmingly, as sanam is tensed. Just then the lights go off, and then when they come back, ahil gets frustrated as he finds sanam at a distance and not as close as she was earlier.
Azhar’s father tells tanveer that sanam is here. She smiles evilly. Just as sanam and ahil try to come to each other, a group of dancers distract them, trying that they dont meet. tanveer smiles evilly, while sanam and ahil tensedly eye each other. After the dance, they are about to talk, when tanveer comes to take ahil to talk to the mayor, who wants to see him, and insists that he come with her rightaway. Ahil leaves, while tanveer says that she would stay by sanam. sanam is tensed. tanveer asks her to enjoy this day to the fullest. Dilshad too arrives in the corridor, and rehaan himself wheels her inside, not knowing that its dilshad and takes her to the area where the party happens. rehaan asks her to wait so that he can get someone to help her out, find whoever she wants to meet.
Dilshad hopes that she is able to warn sanam before razia tries her conspiracy with seher. Dilshad finds sanam walking lonely in the lobby. From two different corridors, dilshad finds both the granddaughters approaching towards her, while she helds out her hands for them. The girls however are oblivious that dilshad is in the veil. Dilshad is unable to scream to them. Seher identifies it as the same hotel that rehaan was involved in, and that means rehaan would be around too. but then she overhears the guests speculating that rehaan must be there in another business meeting. She thinks that rehaan isnt here and she should focus on her work.
Haya and rahat too come and haya is happy to see the arrangements. She finds seher and waves to her, but she is unable to recognise her, and haya is shocked that sehere didnt respond back, as she thinks that its sanam. Seher leaves, while haya is boggled why sanam is ignoring her, and if she got to know about their divorce. rahat is tensed too. haya thinks thaty she should have told her earlier, as she cant bear her anger. rahat asks haya to relax, and if she wants to tell sanam everything, then they would do so together. Sanam finally finds ahil talking to some guests, and tries to go to them, but then herself gets engaged in talking to them. before sanam can talk to him, azhar’s father stoips her way, who reminds her of what they did to her, and she says that she isnt scared of them.
He then asks her to beware of tanveer atleast, who can do anything to, her sister, ahay, her mother dilshad or her husband ahil himself. She leaves tensedly. When ahil gets free and tries to go to sanam, he finds that she is gone. Meanwhile, razia takes seher by the wrist, and turns her around, and she gets angry. razia asks her to be on her work, and wait here till she isnt told to move, and that noone should eye her. Seher eyes her angrily, but complies. Dilshad manages to catch hold of sanam’s hand, who stands tensed, who turns around surprisedly. The screen freezes on sanam’s shocked face.

Doctor & Hospital Sexual Abuse Lawyers | Sexual Abuse in Healthcare, Residential, or Wellness Settings
Our attorneys routinely represent victims of sexual abuse and exploitation in nursing homes, hospitals, doctors’ offices, and other healthcare facilities.
We trust healthcare, wellness, and residential providers to look after our welfare and that of our children, elderly and loved ones. We expect them to be places of healing, not places of abuse, exploitation, or invasion of privacy. Unfortunately, sexual predators prey on vulnerable adults and children seeking medical attention. Sexual abuse in healthcare settings is a serious issue that can have devastating effects on individuals and communities.
How common is sexual abuse by doctors and in healthcare, residential, and wellness settings?
The exact prevalence of sexual abuse in healthcare settings is difficult to determine due to underreporting, varying definitions, and cultural differences. It is estimated that only 5% to 10% of victims ever report sexual abuse by physicians, according to research done by the National Library of Medicine. Underreporting is particularly high in these areas of abuse due to confusion, shame, guilt, and fear of being thrown out of a facility. Due to these reasons, underreporting makes it very hard to determine what the true scope of the abuse is statistically.
What are some high profile cases?
High-profile cases such as Larry Nassar from the University of Michigan, UCLA’s Dr. James Heaps and Dr. Richard Strauss at Ohio State, and Dr. Reginal Archibald at Rockefeller University Hospital. Cases against Massage Envy and Hand and Stone chains across the country have opened the door for other similar cases.
Hospital, Nursing Home, And Doctor Sexual Abuse
Patients entrust hospitals, nursing homes, doctor’s offices, and other healthcare providers to care for them when they are sick, seeking medical advice and guidance. Doctors take an oath to first do no harm, the public is reliant upon professionals in the medical field to provide care and to that extent, a great deal of trust and sensitive information is given to them. Patients are uniquely vulnerable to healthcare professionals because of the knowledge and expertise they possess. The expectation is educated, compassionate, and ethical care.
Types of sexual abuse in healthcare settings?
Sexual abuse in healthcare settings can take different forms, including inappropriate touching, verbal harassment, non-consensual examinations, exploitation, and other violations of patient boundaries. It can occur across various healthcare settings, such as hospitals, clinics, nursing homes, and residential facilities.
Some of the ways healthcare professionals conduct sexual abuse are the following:
1. Inappropriate touching: This may involve unwarranted and non-consensual touching of intimate areas during examinations or procedures.
2. Sexual comments or jokes: Making lewd remarks, inappropriate jokes, or engaging in sexually suggestive conversations can create a hostile and uncomfortable environment for patients.
3. Inappropriate use of materials or devices: the use of sexually explicit materials during interactions with patients.
4. Manipulation: Healthcare professionals in positions of authority may exploit their power differentials to coerce or manipulate patients into engaging in sexual acts.
5. Sexual assault: In extreme cases, healthcare professionals may commit acts of sexual assault, including rape or other forms of non-consensual sexual acts.
6. Sexual exploitation: where healthcare professionals misuse their position of power, authority, or trust to exploit patients for their own sexual gratification or gain.
7. Trading sexual favors for medical treatment: Healthcare professionals may demand sexual acts from patients in exchange for providing necessary medical care, medication, or favorable treatment outcomes.
8. Engaging in sexual relationships with patients: Healthcare professionals may initiate or maintain sexual relationships with current or former patients, taking advantage of the power imbalance and vulnerability inherent in the doctor-patient relationship.
9. Taking non-consensual sexual photographs or videos: Healthcare professionals may secretly or overtly capture explicit images or videos of patients without their knowledge or consent.
10. Exploiting patients’ vulnerability: Healthcare professionals may exploit the emotional or psychological vulnerability of patients, such as those with mental health issues or individuals who have experienced trauma, to engage in sexual acts or relationships.
Sexual Abuse in Nursing Homes
Nursing homes should be places where older adults receive care, support, and protection, but unfortunately, instances of sexual abuse can and do occur. It is a violation of the rights and dignity of vulnerable individuals and is considered a serious form of elder abuse. Sexual abuse in nursing homes can be perpetrated by staff members, other residents, or visitors. It can have severe physical, emotional, and psychological consequences for the victims, leading to feelings of shame, guilt, fear, and a decline in overall well-being.
Sexual Abuse with Massage/Wellness Industry
Massage therapists have a unique opportunity to commit sexual assaults given the intimate level of access they have to their clients. While sexual abuse in this field is not as common as others, it still occurs. Many major massage chains know of the risk of sexual assault by massage therapists but do not do enough to protect people from abuse and assault, therefore they can and have been held responsible.
For many victims, it may be unclear how to identify when a massage therapist has crossed the line into sexual abuse because massage requires touching one’s whole body. A good massage therapist will ensure active and ongoing communication during a massage garnering consent along the way. You should know that at any time you can tell a massage therapist you are not comfortable and to avoid certain areas. A good massage therapist will have already gone over this prior to the massage beginning, asking you which areas you wish to focus on, desired pressure, and areas of the body to avoid.
If you are engaging in yoga, chiropractic care or stretching, or any other wellness activities that involve instructors possibly touching and manipulating the body in order to obtain optimal form or results the instructor should always first ask for permission to put their hands on you. Many trauma-informed facilities will even have consent cards that people can place next to their mat or station that inculcate whether or not they are open to physical touch thus avoiding a potentially uncomfortable situation in the middle of class. You can state right up front to the entity that you are not comfortable with nor do you consent to any form of touching or body manipulation during your services.
Type of Sexual Abuse In the Massage/Wellness Industry
Common examples of sexually inappropriate touching during a massage can include but are not limited to the following:
- Touching of the genital area or breasts without consent
- Inappropriate touching of other intimate areas of the body without consent
- Massaging the buttocks or inner thighs in a manner that is sexual in nature or done for the pleasure of the therapist
- Using sexual language, making sexual comments, or sexual noises during the massage
- Feeling pressured to remove clothing or experiencing removal of clothing without permission
- Rubbing against the client’s body in a sexually charged manner
- Making suggestive or inappropriate gestures or movements during the massage
- Engaging in sexual contact or intercourse during the massage
- Being forced to engage in a sexual act
Many clients feel that because they signed a waiver of the consent form they have no rights once a violation has occurred and that is not accurate. You can also write on that form that you are in no way consenting to any touching of private body parts such as breasts, buttocks, genitals, inner thighs, or any other areas you are not comfortable with. If you think your massage therapist or other wellness practitioner has crossed the line into sexual misconduct, there are resources for you and possible legal recourse.
Sexual Abuse in Residential Facilities
Residential facilities house children in a variety of contexts either in the community as group homes or juvenile detention centers. They are alternative housing placements for children and young people who are struggling with and in need of more intensive behavioral or mental health treatment, or if convicted of a juvenile criminal offense in courts as a temporary placement. Other children reside in group homes if they lack other family or caregivers. Regardless of how a child winds up in one of these facilities, they should be safe at all times.
Children in residential facilities are vulnerable to sexual abuse due to substance use issues, behavioral, psychiatric, and mental health challenges, and previous abuse or neglect and because of the power dynamics that the staff of these facilities has over the children and young people. This power is often misused and manipulated into not only abusing children and youth but to keep victims silent about the abuse by threatening removal or additional court sanctions.
These reasons make residential facilities ideal places where sexual predators prey on vulnerable children and youth.
We have experience handling cases against residential treatment facilities that fail to protect children from harm on their watch.
Sexual Abuse in Substance Abuse Treatment
Patients who enter rehabilitation facilities for substance use struggles are also uniquely vulnerable to sexual abuse as often they have histories of existing sexual trauma, it is estimated that 60-80% of all people entering treatment facilities have underlying sexual abuse histories. Residents can be preyed upon by using their histories to shame them into engaging in sexual acts. Individuals in early recovery are not in the right mindset to be making decisions around sexual activity and relationships as the focus is to be on their recovery, however, at the same time, people just coming out of their substance use behaviors are often rediscovering themselves and this is often exploited by workers and therapist within the facilities. The threat of getting thrown out of treatment is a tactic used by abusers to keep victims quiet.
Sexual Abuse in Mental/Behavior Health Treatment Facility
Patients seeking assistance for mental health challenges are among the most vulnerable class of individuals in society. Tragically, many patients in mental health facilities are prior sexual abuse victims making them uniquely vulnerable to being targeted in these facilities. In addition, often a patient or client’s mental or behavioral health challenge is weaponized by the provider to manipulate, coerce and abuse the patient. Sexual predators prey on the vulnerability of people in psychiatric facilities. It is the facilities’ job to prevent such abuse. State law typically dictates how these facilities are supposed to supervise patients, such as regular bed checks. These guidelines are often violated and when and if so, can subject the provider to civil liability.
What should I do if I feel I or someone I love has been sexually abused at a healthcare, residential, or wellness facility?
Contact law enforcement, state or federal regulatory agencies or commissions, and a trained and experienced civil attorney as they will help navigate your rights and next steps.
Gather as much information and evidence as possible including records, photos of injuries, and or proof of additional medical treatment as a result of these injuries, witnesses and their contact information, and contact information for any persons who would have or should have reasonably known of the abuse, victims’ statements recalling dates, locations, and persons involved in the abuse, any and all policies or procedures of that facility, and any documents you may have signed during your or your loved one’s time there.
Can I sue a healthcare, residential, or wellness facility?
Yes, all of these entities are regulated under state and federal laws and regulations that if violated subject them to penalties and can be held accountable for failing to protect their populations. Building a case against these types of facilities and advocating for victims is something our attorneys are trained and experienced in.

South Seattle is among places in the United States where researchers are hoping to recruit volunteers for one study of a potential vaccine against COVID-19.
South Seattle zip codes include a more diverse population than in some other sectors of the greater-Seattle area. The pandemic has hit Black and Latinx populations harder than white populations across the country. According to figures from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the Black population is about 13% of the United States, but Black people make up 25% of deaths from COVID-19.
Lead researcher Lisa Jackson, MD, MPH talked to the Emerald about outreach efforts in an interview about the vaccine she is studying, sometimes called the Moderna vaccine (named for the company that co-developed it with the National Institutes of Health). She works for the Kaiser Permanente Washington Health Research Institute (KPWHRI).
The researchers hope to recruit people from African American, Latinx, and Indigenous populations, as well as other ethnicities. Historically, medical research studies have often been overwhelmingly white.

Whether or not you consider yourself a generally patient person, we can all collectively agree that waiting for nail polish to dry is a special form of torture. Especially during this time of social distancing, with some choosing to forgo their professional gel manicures for the DIY variety, we find ourselves blowing on wet paint more often than we'd like.
So, whether you're brushing up on your nail-art skills or just swapping your polish colours out of sheer boredom, we've assembled some quick-dry hacks to make the inevitable waiting process a little less agonising.
Consider these steps before this weekend's DIY mani-pedi, or just read through and keep them in mind the next time you pick up a bottle of nail polish.
Apply Polish In Thin Coats
While it might seem counterintuitive to getting your nails done quickly, you want to make sure you're not globbing your polish on thick. Instead, work in layers. "I always recommend painting you nail polish a little thinner than you want," explains Lauren Berkovitz, CEO and Founder of Lauren B. Beauty. "Yes, you will have to do a few coats, but a thin layer of polish will dry very quickly, whereas a single, heavy layer will not only take forever to dry, it will likely smudge."
Consider A Quick-Dry Formula
If you'd take a one-minute dry time over a glossy, high-shine manicure, consider investing in a quick-dry polish. Many nail brands now make speed-dry formulas — Essie has its new Expressie collection, or there's Sally Hansen Insta-Dri — which are made with quick-dry solvents for paint that dries crazy fast. Though, again, you may be sacrificing in the shininess of your manicure, as many of these formulas dry down to a ceramic-like finish.
Seal It With A Top Coat
While it's always a good idea to cap your manicure with a clear top coat for longevity, it's also helpful in speeding up the drying process. According to Berkovitz, a quick-dry top coat will make a huge difference. "After polish, apply a quick-dry top coat and you’ll be pretty much good to go in two minutes flat," she says. "The best part, it adds shine, too." Manicurist Naomi Gonzales-Longstaff tells us that she prefers to use quick-dry drops, specifically Zoya's Fast Drops, which when applied over wet polish, absorb the solvents to speed up the dry time. Either way, the logic is the same: Shine, seal, and get on with your life.

Office Building in Modular Construction - Timeless and Noble
This two-storey office building was constructed from 23 room units in modular steel construction and covers an area of around 850 m². The modular construction company SÄBU Morsbach erected this new building as general contractor.
The bill of quantities included the demolition of the existing building, the two-storey new building and the connection to the remaining old building. Earthworks with regard to the foundations and all supply and disposal lines were as much part of the scope of services as the planning and execution of the outdoor facilities and parking areas.
The L-shaped mullion-transom construction brings a lot of daylight into the stairwell, office and conference rooms and underlines the open character, which is also continued in the interior of the building.
The floor in the entrance area as well as the stair treads in natural slate, stair posts and stringers in DB703, micaceous iron ore, are high-quality but not obtrusive, as is the rest of the choice of materials and fittings in the building.
The glazing of the windows on the ground floor is P4A, and louvre windows for ventilation and smoke extraction have been provided on the upper floor and in the stairwell. All window sashes have magnetic contacts.
In the office and meeting area, highly stable and low-noise louvres with motor drive were chosen for the external sun protection, as heat, light and glare protection.
The bright offices on the upper floor are air-conditioned via ceiling cooling cassettes; on the ground floor, a ventilation system with supply and exhaust air units provides ventilation for the interior rooms.
The building is heated by means of an air source heat pump with buffer storage, underfloor heating and in some areas additionally via underfloor duct heating.
This modular building once again demonstrates the high quality and modern appearance offered by modular prefabricated steel construction.

Join CFI in Urging HHS to Keep Religion Out of Reproductive Health Care Rules
September 28, 2011
On August 1, 2011, the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) announced new guidelines that require health insurance providers and organizations providing health care plans to cover preventive health services, such as contraception, without charging a co-payment. The Center for Inquiry (CFI) considers this an important step forward for reproductive rights and health care.
However, these new guidelines are currently facing fierce public opposition from organized religion. The United States Conference of Catholic Bishops and its members are lobbying HHS either to eliminate the new contraception guidelines or widely expand the current exemption clause – which now covers employers whose main purpose is to promote religious doctrine – to include religious hospitals and charities.
This means that hundreds of thousands of women would be left without preventative health coverage simply because of their employer’s religiously motivated objections.
In response, CFI and several organizations are sending a letter to HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius, pushing her to maintain her ground on the new guidelines. However, Sebelius is facing mounting pressure from religious groups and believers.
This is where you come in. HHS is allowing public comments on the new guidelines until Friday, Sept. 30, 2011. This means you have the ability to join CFI in voicing your opinion on these critically important health care guidelines.
Here’s how you can get involved:
1. Visit www.regulations.gov.
2. Under “Enter Keyword or ID,” type the following: CMS-9992-IFC2.
3. Scroll to the top result and click on “Submit a Comment.”
Remember, the deadline is Friday, Sept. 30, 2011. Message Secretary Sebelius now and be a part of the effort to keep religious belief out of our health care laws.

What molecule am I?
2-Phenoxyethanol, known early on as ethylene glycol monophenyl ether, is a high-boiling, oily liquid that is moderately water-soluble. It has a long history and several uses in chemical manufacturing and consumer products.
The earliest mention of 2-phenoxyethanol in the chemical literature appeared in 1894, when Ernst Roithner at the University of Vienna published a treatise on ethylene oxide. In the article, Roithner described the synthesis of 2-phenoxyethanol via the reaction of ethylene oxide with phenol in a basic medium.
Two years later, in a paper about γ-phenoxy derivatives of malonic and acetic acids and the compounds used to synthesize them, William Henry Bentley, Edward Haworth, and William Henry Perkin, Jr.,* at Owens College (Manchester, UK) reported the preparation of 2-phenoxyethanol from sodium phenolate and ethylene chlorohydrin (2-chloroethanol). In 1919, R. E. Rindfusz at the University of Illinois (Urbana–Champaign) used this method to make 2-phenoxyethanol in the course of synthesizing chromanes (dihydrobenzopyrans) and coumaranes (dihydrobenzofurans). A refined version of Perkin et al.’s synthesis is used to manufacture 2-hydroxyethanol today.
2-Phenoxyethanol has many industrial uses—primarily as a solvent for dyes, inks, and resins; a lubricant preservative; and a reagent in organic chemical synthesis. In consumer products, its uses range from a preservative for cosmetics and drugs to a fixative for perfumes to an attractant in insecticides. In one ironic instance, it is a component of a hair formulation that claims to be “preservative-free”.
References to 2-phenoxyethanol often omit the numerical prefix, but this is ambiguous because of the existence of an isomer, 1-phenoxyethanol1. The isomer appears much less frequently in the chemical literature and has far fewer commercial uses.

TN 2 (12-14)
Sections 216(i)(1) and 1614(a)(2) of the Social Security Act (Act) define blindness as central visual acuity of 20/200
or less in the better eye with the use of a correcting lens. We use the best-corrected
visual acuity for distance in the better eye to determine if the claimant meets this
The Act also provides that we consider an eye that has a visual field limitation such
that the widest diameter of the visual field subtends an angle no greater than 20
degrees as having a central visual acuity of 20/200 or less.
This statutory definition of blindness is in the Listing of Impairments (listings).
A claimant has statutory blindness only if the visual disorder meets the criteria
2.02 or 2.03A for adults, or
102.02A, 102.02B, or 102.03A for children.
A claimant does not have statutory blindness if the visual disorder:
medically equals the criteria of listings 2.02, 2.03A, 102.02A, 102.02B, or 102.03A;
meets or medically equals the criteria of 2.03B, 2.03C, 2.04A, 2.04B, 102.03B, 102.03C,
102.04A, or 102.04B.
The combination of the loss of visual acuity in one eye and contraction of the visual
field in the other eye may meet the statutory definition of blindness:
If a claimant’s best-corrected visual acuity is 20/200 or less in one eye, and the
widest diameter of the visual field in the other eye subtends an angle around the
point of fixation no greater than 20 degrees, the visual disorder meets the statutory
definition of blindness and meets a listing.
In this situation, cite the listings appropriate for the limitation in the better
eye, that is, listings 2.02 or 2.03A for adults, or listings 102.02A, 102.02B, or
102.03A for children.
NOTE: If you cannot determine which eye is the better eye, cite listing 2.02 for adults
or listings 102.02A or 102.02B for children.
If a visual disorder does not meet the listings for statutory blindness, consider
if the disorder:
equals the blindness listings (see DI 26001.001B in this section), or
meets or medically equals other listings.
If the visual disorder does not meet or medically equal a listing, consider the effects
of the visual disorder on the claimant’s ability to function, unless the determination
is for statutory blindness only.
If the determination is for statutory blindness only, and the visual disorder does
not meet the listings for statutory blindness, the disability determination services
will deny the claim. See Jurisdiction of Blindness Cases in DI 26001.015.

Alex Swings, Oscar Sings is a duet which has been created just some months ago when producer Alex Christensen was asked to enter a song for the internal German selection for the 2009 Eurovision Song Contest - and now Alex and Oscar entered the gigantic stage today for the first time this afternoon. During their first take today, the German team comprised Oscar, Alex, three female dancers - one of them rumoured to be Dita von Teese in the final - and a male backing singer. On the left of the stage, we could find a piano on which Alex Christensen is playing. On the right side, there was a platform situated with gigantic lips placed on it which will move at the end with a dancer sitting on them. The LED backdrop were very colourful with the words "Miss Kiss Kiss" and a moving doll being shown. Oscar was wearing black trousers, a black shirt and a white jacket today. During the last take, lots of pyros were used.
An unknown force in the music industry is definitely not the way to describe Alex Christensen and his new project Alex Swings, Oscar Sings. DJ, producer, composer, BMI and Echo award winner along with other diverse award nominations are some of the titles Mr. Christensen holds under his belt. With his groundbreaking idea for the song Das Boot (1991) in a techno version, Alex revolutionized the techno music scene by making techno chart compatible. Das Boot became number 1 on the charts in more than 22 countries worldwide and was number 1 on the German charts for 13 weeks. The singer of the German entry for the 2009 Eurovision Song Contest, Miss Kiss Kiss Bang is Oscar Loya who grew up in California and has an ongoing career in musicals all over Europe.
When asked at their press conference if they feel pressured to represent Germany, Alex Christensen said that being here in Moscow would be important, not the final placing of the song. Oscar elaborated that he had a live performance on the Oprah Winfrey Show which was the highlight of his professional career so far. He also said that his biggest dream is to get the Eurovision Song Contest to Germany in 2010. The German team revealed that their performance was helped by Jane Comerford who was the main singer of Texas Lightning who represented Germany in 2006. They finally confirmed that Dita von Teese would be part of the performance next Saturday.

What Are Calcium Channel Blockers?
Calcium channel blockers are prescription medications used in the treatment of several cardiovascular conditions. The Texas Heart Institute notes that they work by slowing calcium absorption. Function The function of calcium channel blockers is to help dilate and relax the blood vessels, which allows for easier blood flow. This reduces the overall load on both heart and vessels. Uses The Mayo Clinic reports that calcium channel blockers are used in the treatment of high blood pressure (hypertension), angina (pressure and chest pain), and arrhythmia (abnormal heart rhythm). Types Cvpharmacology.com reports that there are three distinct classes of calcium channel blocker: dihydropyridines, phenylalkylamines, and benzothiazepines. Side Effects Side effects can vary depending on the specific medication but may include headaches, heartburn, edema (swelling from fluid retention), and flushing. In extreme cases, side effects may include jaundice, rash, dizziness, and gastrointestinal discomfo

Well, 2020 was a different year for sure. And it was super apparent as I began to write this post. I had no mini or projects finished this year, no bee blocks, very little teaching, and 25 Quilt finishes. And I know that is still a lot of quilts, but for me, the number is small ;)
But I do have a story that includes 4 very special finishes that were a year in the making . . . I will get to that in just a minute.
But first, let's see some of my Happy Quilting from 2020!!!


A delegation from the China Shipbuilding Industry Corporation visited the ailing Uljanik and Treći Maj shipyards on Tuesday. The goal of their visit to the two shipyards in Pula and Rijeka is to ascertain the exact financial standing of the two companies.
CSIC, which is China's biggest company and ranks among the 500 strongest companies in the world according to Forbes, is considering a possible investment into the two shipyards or some other form of partnership. The Chinese delegation is scheduled to hold meetings with government, Uljanik and Treći Maj officials at the Economy Ministry tomorrow.
Yesterday CSIC chairman Hu Wenming was received by Prime Minister Andrej Plenković. He said after their meeting that his team will give both shipyards serious consideration after establishing a clear overview of their true financial standing. A decision on whether or not the Chinese will invest into the two shipyards is expected in some ten days’ time.

Antitrust lawsuit accused Apple and five book publishers of conspiring to artificially hike prices. Now all but Apple and Macmillan have settled.
Penguin has become the latest book publisher to settle federal charges of e-book price-fixing, leaving only Apple and Macmillan to fight the Justice Department allegations.
In an antitrust lawsuit filed in April, federal prosecutors accused Apple and five book publishers of conspiring to artificially hike prices. The same day, the Justice Department announced it had reached settlements with three publishers but said Apple and the other two publishers had opted to fight the charges. Lagardere SCA's Hachette Book Group, News Corp.'s HarperCollins Publishers, and Simon & Schuster (owned by CBS, which publishes CNET) agreed to settle.
Penguin added its name to that group, the Justice Department announced today. As with the settlement to which the other settling publishers agreed, Penguin has agreed to terminate its existing contracts with Apple and not enter into new agreements for two years that would prevent retailers from offering discounted Penguin e-books, the Justice Department said.
The publisher issued a statement today confirming the agreement but maintained its innocence in the case:
Penguin confirms that it has reached an agreement with the U.S. Department of Justice to settle claims relating to the establishment of agency pricing agreements in 2010. Penguin has always maintained, and continues to maintain, that it has done nothing wrong and has no case to answer. Penguin continues to believe that the agency pricing model has encouraged competition among distributors of both e-books and e-book readers and, in the company's view, continues to operate in the interest of consumers and authors. But it is also in everyone's interests that the proposed Penguin Random House company should begin life with a clean sheet of paper.
Penguin's agreement still requires court approval, but the Justice Department said consumers are already benefiting from the previous settlements.
"Since the department's settlement with Hachette, HarperCollins, and Simon & Schuster, consumers are already paying lower prices for the e-book versions of many of those publishers' new releases and bestsellers," Jamillia Ferris, chief of staff and counsel at the Department of Justice's Antitrust Division, said in a statement. "If approved by the court, the proposed settlement with Penguin will be an important step toward undoing the harm caused by the publishers' anticompetitive conduct and restoring retail price competition so consumers can pay lower prices for Penguin's e-books."
CNET has contacted Apple for comment regarding Penguin's settlement and will update this report when we learn more. In a legal memo filed in August, Apple called the previous settlements "fundamentally unfair, unlawful, and unprecedented." The case against Apple and Macmillan is scheduled to begin next June.
Penguin's settlement comes a few weeks after Apple reportedly negotiated a deal with European regulators that will help the company avoid litigation for potential antitrust violations while also enabling Amazon to offer lower prices than offered at Apple's iBookstore. Terms of that alleged deal were not revealed.
