- Sierra Vista Ambulance Accident Injures Several People | Legal News | News Ticker
Everyone who learns to drive understands that when an ambulance or another emergency vehicle is on the road, they need to be given plenty of room to maneuver. These vehicles can take sudden turns and change speeds rapidly. Unfortunately, it’s possible that one driver was following an ambulance that was transporting a patient too closely recently in a Sierra Vista ambulance accident that injured at least two and as many as four people. Police are investigating the incident.
The Sierra Vista ambulance accident at issue occurred on Friday morning on Highway 90 about 150 yards south of Airport Road. Apparently, the ambulance involved in the accident had slowed down because there was debris on the road. The driver of a Volkswagen that was trailing the ambulance subsequently slammed into the ambulance from behind. The driver of the ambulance along with a nurse who was riding in the back and a technician were taken to a nearby hospital with varying degrees of injuries.
Arizona Car Accident Statistics
First, we’d like to extend our hope that everyone who was injured in this Sierra Vista car accident is able to overcome their pain and suffering. In addition, this incident will now become part of the overall statistics regarding Arizona car accidents. Every year, more than 140,000 such accidents occur, leading to more than 65,000 injuries and to more than 1,000 fatalities.
Arizona Car Accident Lawyers
Although more investigation would likely need to be done, it seems that the driver of the Volkswagen could have been negligent for following the ambulance too closely to be able to avoid the collision. If that’s the case, it’s possible that those who were injured in this crash could file Arizona personal injury lawsuits against that driver. If these claims were filed and were successful, it could lead to an award of damages that compensate them for their medical costs, lost income and pain and suffering.
If you or someone you love has been harmed in a collision, seek the help of Arizona car accident lawyers who have been holding negligent drivers accountable for the harm they have caused for many years. Contact Phillips Law Group today to schedule a free initial consultation.

Thank you for your message, we will get back to you soon.
It’s an Honor and a Privilege to work for a company that cares about its employees and clients for 12 years. I’ve seen Management go out of their way to help someone whether it’s a personal matter or work related. I am also reminded of many occasions where a Client needed urgent help and we as a Team were able to get the person immediate assistance. At Phillips Law we make that happen through Teamwork and a dedication to our profession. I’ve had numerous jobs in several other fields, those were just jobs. This is a home. Many of us have been here for quite a few years, it feels like one large extended family.
Phillips Law Group is a company that has taught me so many things. Here your work, your dedication, effort and discipline are valued, in addition to the fact that, as a woman, as an immigrant and as a human being, I have been given value and empowerment. We are a successful law firm because all workers feel part of a great family. I am very proud and honored to work at Phillips Law Group.
Positive: Professionalism, Quality, Responsiveness, Value As someone who is familiar with the inner workings of the auto insurance industry I can whole heartedly endorse Steven J. Jones and Phillips law group as someone I would want on my side should litigation take place. They handled my case professionally, honestly, and with satisfactory results which I would not have expected without enlisting their help.
Jeffrey Phillips is truly a brilliant attorney and businessman. I would not hesitate for a moment to contact him if I needed a personal injury attorney in Arizona, you would be fortunate to have him and his team. If you have a car accident, slip and fall in a store, or get punched in the face, call Phillips.
I want to thank attorneys Tim and Robert and the paralegal Bethany for all they had done on my case. They were all empathetic, knowledgeable and professional. All my questions were answered, emails returned in a timely matter, and promises fulfilled. I recommend Phillips Law Group if you need help with your injury case.
I enjoy my work day here at Phillips Law Group and generally speaking I love my clients. Every day brings a new client or task to keep me on my toes. Administration keeps open communication and is hilarious most of the time! I love the way we celebrate FRIDAY, holidays and birthdays and how everything is so competitive. All in all I’m so fortunate to be here and I enjoy what I do.
I’ve been working at Phillips Law Group for nearly four years and I can confidently say this is the best personal injury firm in Arizona to work for. The firm is the best for numerous reasons but to start, Phillips Law Group gives employees opportunities for promotions and growth. I started working within the settlement department, moved to a paralegal assistant and grew to be a pre-litigation paralegal with my own case load. Each attorney I have worked for is extremely knowledgeable, friendly, and easy to talk to. Secondly, I love how Phillips Law shows appreciation for employees. They host Friday Zoom Huddles giving out PTO, goodie bags, special shout outs, bonuses and gift cards. They also host extravagant holiday parties and fun contests during the Holidays! Lastly, the firm cares about giving back to the community, which is a trait I value as well. It’s rewarding to see a fast paced firm taking time out of their busy day to pay it forward. I would highly recommend working at Phillips Law Group!
My paralegal , Caroline , was on top of her game - very responsive and always answered any questions I had and in a timely manner . My attorney Rob ,was the best attorney I ever had . He explained everything in great detail and had a great sense or humor . He really knows how to bring light To tough , unfortunate situations - I would absolutely recommend them at anyone -
Phillips Law Group does so much for the community!!! I especially enjoy seeing Juan Roque out there. This gentle giant always has a smile on his face and is a part of a caring and giving team.
Many companies talk about teamwork but few practice it. Many companies talk about an employee friendly environment but few actually provide it. At Phillips Law Group the foundation of our success is making sure we work as a team and that we work in an environment that allows everyone to thrive and be at their best every day. Our firm understands that in order for the client to have a great experience the people responsible for that client’s case must be given all the necessary tools and encouragement to make that happen. That’s the Phillips Way. As a manager of this firm in charge of several employees as well as directly affecting the client’s experience I take tremendous pride in saying we live by these premises and we work hard to build on them and make them better every day. This is an amazing place because it has amazing people working here!

This line of Custom Studio Wear was designed for 5678 Dance Studio in Modesto, CA. We worked closely with 5678 to accomplish 3 main goals:
- Create a full line of Custom Studio Wear that will keep classes streamlined for teachers and make life easier for parents.
- Design a cohesive clothing line in a way that will allow dancers to mix and match. Use the same fabrics and design elements among several differently-styled pieces and include “5678,” the studio name, in a Swarovski rhinestone transfer on each piece.
- Ensure each item is a reflection of current trends in active and athletic apparel so that the dancers love to wear their on-trend and in-style practice wear both in class and at conventions.
Our friends at 5678 have been ordering studio wear from us for several years, and we try to design new pieces each year that coordinate with the previous years’ designs so that the dancers can continue to wear the studio wear from season to season.

Michael McClure (born October 20, 1932) is an American poet, playwright, songwriter, and novelist. After moving to San Francisco as a young man, he found fame as one of the five poets (including Allen Ginsberg) who read at the famous San Francisco Six Gallery reading in 1955 rendered in barely fictionalized terms in Jack Kerouac's The Dharma Bums. He soon became a key member of the Beat Generation and is immortalized as "Pat McLear" in Kerouac's Big Sur.
Books, CDs & DVDs. McClure’s inspiration has always been the animal consciousness that still lives in mankind, and he has had a consistent message: When a man does not admit that he is an animal, he is less than an animal.

CRM is termed as customer relations management. CRM is known to refer to all strategies and technologies that a business uses to analyze and manage customer interaction and improve customer service relationships aimed at growing sales. Therefore CRM systems will collect and comply customer data from the contact point with the business. You can thus be able to use this information to understand customers preferences, purchase patterns and the concerns that they raise. The CRM software will enable you to compile customer details to one database that will be easy to use within your organization.
You will be able to easily interact with customers through email, phone, and social media. Among the customer relations management tools that you choose they should have several features. First and not least, the CRM tool should be able to automate your business marketing to improve marketing at different points in the customer life cycle. An effective customer relations management tool will thus enable you to send different marketing materials to customers through various changes such as social media, short message text or even email.
CRM software should also enhance workflow automation to make the work of your employees easier, and thus employees can focus on their creative sides and therefore focus on developing new ideas in the business. Also, CRM should also assist you in human resource management. You can easily be able to track your employee’s details, contact information, and performance reviews. This will enable your business to be more efficient in managing its workforce.
CRM is formed by three integrated parts which will be named the CRM software, cloud solutions, and the management aspect. The software will help aggregate all the customer information that is collected, and this data will be used by the employees to help them interact with their clients. The program will also be used to t predict the customer needs and help reduce the time that it takes for your business to be able to fulfill their needs.
With the increased development of technologies, the employees will need to access this information on specific gadgets such as smartphones, laptops or tablets that connect to the internet. This ensures that you can be able to access this employee information even from remote branches. Further, the employees must learn how to interpret and use this information for the benefit of the organization.

The all-new VISION EQXX by Mercedes-EQ Concept
VISION EQXX Sedan by Mercedes-EQ Concept
Breaking rules to break records.
We’re taking premium electric architecture to a whole new level, surpassing what was once impossible. Together with the Formula 1 experts at Mercedes-AMG High Performance Powertrains, we set out to break barriers — and in doing so, achieved unparalleled efficiency in the all-electric VISION EQXX concept vehicle.
From the onset, our design focus aimed for minimal environmental impact. The simplest solution for greater efficiency would be to build a larger battery — but we were not about to take the easy route. Instead, we developed the fundamentals of the VISION EQXX from scratch, pushing for unthinkably lightweight, hyper-efficient components. We achieved an energy-dense battery that’s 30% lighter and sized 50% smaller.Disclaimer Further refinements from our aerodynamicists allowed us to drop the drag co-efficient to an unimaginable cd 0.17.Disclaimer Disclaimer Just 18 months in the making, this concept car exceeds an astounding WLTP-estimated 620-mile range.Disclaimer Disclaimer With a number like that, this vehicle has the potential to become the silver bullet to the electric road trip — capable of journeying great distances on a single charge. Day-to-day, the average U.S. driver may need to fully recharge just twice a month.Disclaimer Disclaimer
Streamlining this vehicle goes beyond what’s under the hood. We added rooftop solar panels to power numerous functions inside. Interior materials were influenced by nature and made with animal-free textiles — like cactus fibers, mushrooms and vegan silk — that provide a luxurious finish from upholstery to door handles.
The VISION EQXX is more than efficient, it’s also very, very cool. True to its heritage, this Mercedes presents modern luxury, advanced tech and superior comfort. It demonstrates our transformation toward software-driven design with tech developments. Silver, rose-gold and gloss black accents reveal a progressive interpretation of modern luxury.
The extent of skills behind this vehicle are expressed in the XX of its name: it is the X-factor across an agile X-divisional collaboration. The VISION EQXX made its digital world premiere in January 2022 and represents a blueprint for the future of electromobility.

Incendiary comments have often been the centerpiece of an often tumultuous season for the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Preseason favorites for some prognosticators to reach the Super Bowl, Pittsburgh has seen Le'Veon Bell's never-ending story of a holdout, Antonio Brown's sideline anger and ill-advised tweets, early season struggles and most recently Ben Roethlisberger's stance on critiquing teammates color a roller-coaster campaign for the black and yellow.
In what is likely a somewhat surprising turn of events for some, though, Brown's retort to Roethlisberger's words were supportive to say the least.
"We have a lot of good history together -- and we will continue to make history," said Brown, via Triblive.com. "We have that relationship where we challenge each other, we encourage each other. That's the situation you wanna have with your quarterback.
"I got big shoulders. I can take it. Constructive criticism [is] only for you to get better. It's only made to challenge, only made to make you better. And that's my guy."
Rather than respond negatively, Brown seemed to say all the right things on Friday.
"In the world we live in today, I think controversy is celebrated a lot," he said. "People try to put people against each other, bring people down. But we all need each other. There's power in unity and people coming together, and not in people fighting and bringing each other down."
The team-first approach seems almost novel coming from a top-flight receiver, but Brown professed his feelings for Roethlisberger, his longtime teammate and the Steelers' captain.
"It's not personal the way you guys [in the media] make it," Brown said. "You guys make big stories. That's my guy. I love him. I got his back no matter what's said. Everything he said is gonna encourage us to get better."
With Brown offering up a unified front and team-first comments, maybe the right approach off the field will lend itself to the right outcome on the field.

Abstract : High-energy γ rays associated with the decay of the giant dipole resonance have been measured for two fusion reactions leading to the 140Sm compound nucleus at an excitation energy of 71 MeV. The observed yield increases with the asymmetry in the ratios of the number of neutrons to protons in the entrance channel. This is interpreted as resulting from giant dipole phonons excited at the moment of collision in an N/Z asymmetric reaction.

On 4-5 December 2018, the 3rd Global Summit on Circulatory Health brought together international, continental and national organizations and leaders in health, academia, civil society and the private sector to drive action on the timely issue of access to essential medicines and technologies. The case for improved access to essential medicines is compelling – nearly 2 billion people lack access to essential medicines, an estimated 100 million end up living on USD 10.90 or less a day because they have to pay for health care, and another 800 million people spend at least 10 percent of their household budgets to pay for health care.
Convened under the leadership of Professors Salim Yusuf, Martin McKee and David Wood, the 3rd Global Summit began by taking stock of the main challenges in ensuring access to medicines, including limited investments in health, fragmented supply chains, low quality or falsified medicines, and inconsistent national, regional and international action.
Against those persistent challenges, the Global Summit participants and speakers shared pragmatic and innovative solutions, such as procurement pools for essential medicines and block chain technology to improve supply chains and serve the most vulnerable populations. The Summit concluded with a Call to Action to align the solutions put forward during the event with the World Health Organization’s Roadmap on Access to Medicines and Vaccines in a position paper on access to essential cardiovascular medicines that will be published in the first quarter of 2019. The position paper will build on the key areas for action that emerged from the Summit:

It’s been a common refrain of politicians in Washington for as long as the capitol has been unpopular: “It’s good to get outside the Beltway, good to go get back to the real America.” But in recent days that cliché might feel a bit stale for Republican House members, who voted last month for Representative Paul Ryan’s budget proposal. Inside the Beltway, Ryan is called “courageous,” a “visionary,” a “serious man,” for having the bravery to put forth a budget that pays for tax cuts for the wealthy by ending Medicare as we know it. Back home in his district, he’s becoming known as the leader of the most serious assault on seniors since President Bush’s attempt to privatize Social Security.
Particles of death for the northern hemisphere and America.
Obesity may be a growing concern for many Americans, but others are choosing to embrace unhealthy food. Welcome to the Heart Attack Grill, a Texan restaurant that celebrates cholesterol.
The U.S. has 31 reactors just like Japan’s — but regulators are ignoring the risks and boosting industry profits. Five days after a massive earthquake and tsunami struck Japan, triggering the worst nuclear disaster since Chernobyl, America's leading nuclear regulator came before Congress bearing good news: Don't worry, it can't happen here. In the aftermath of the Japanese catastrophe, officials in Germany moved swiftly to shut down old plants for inspection, and China put licensing of new plants on hold. But Gregory Jaczko, the chairman of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, reassured lawmakers that nothing at the Fukushima Daiichi reactors warranted any immediate changes at U.S. nuclear plants.
There is a certain element of helplessness to living in northeast Japan right now. It isn't just dealing with the images – and reality – of the large-scale catastrophe in the wake of the March 11 earthquake and tsunami. It's not even the electrical outages, the disrupted train services or the very real fear that another big earthquake – one as massive as the magnitude 9.0 temblor that wiped out entire coastal communities – is imminent. It's the fear of radiation, invisible, odourless and potentially deadly, leaking out of the damaged Fukushima Daiichi plant and entering their bodies via contaminated air, food and water.
With the ongoing disaster at the Fukushima nuclear plants in Japan, some people ask: can nuclear power be made safe? The answer is no. Nuclear power can never be made safe.
The nuclear power plants in Japan are ageing rapidly; like cyborgs, they are barely kept in operation by a continuous replacement of parts. And now that Japan has entered a period of earthquake activity and a major accident could happen at any time, the people live in constant state of anxiety.
The amount of radioactivity in seawater near the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant is about to hit the highest-ever level recorded in history. According to the Asahi Shimhun on Sunday, officials measured 1-hundred-86 becquerels per liter of radioactive substances in the sea just 34 kilometers from the crippled power plant on April 15th. This level is about 20-thousand times higher than the permissible annual standard set by the Japanese government.
With Democrats inexplicably failing to generate the requisite outrage at GOP plans to cut Medicare - and give more money to rich people who don't need it - Americans United for Change have begun an ad campaign blasting Paul Ryan and his mean-spirited cohorts. About time someone did it.
Locals fear mine, potentially worth billions of dollars, could threaten water reserves. A Canadian company plans to open a mine in Argentina’s Catamarca province to tap into a rich vein of copper and gold that could be worth hundreds of billions of dollars. But residents in the valley below the Agua Rica mine have been taking on the miners, protesting for more than two years in an effort to block the project. They fear scarce water resources are in jeopardy.
Cancer radiotherapy dose is fatal? Okay, so wait a minute. A dose of 10,000 is fatal, yet the cancer industry uses twice that dose to “treat” cancer? I knew cancer radiation treatments were barbaric, but I never knew they were twice the amount considered absolutely fatal.
In the latest example of blatant Federal negligence (coverup), the valiant and ever vigilant FDA and EPA have determined they will not be testing ANY fish from the Gulf Of Alaska. This is another egregious (not that they give a rat's tail) abandonment of their obligation to watch over the public health and welfare. In this case, the Feds have chosen to protect the Alaskan fishing industry...the public's right to know and to be kept safe and informed be damned.
Japan nuclear radiation in Phoenix Arizona milk samples show radioactive Iodine contamination levels up to 1600% above EPA drinking water limits. To make matters worse those contamination levels of radiation do not even include Caesium or other radioactive isotopes which were not even reported in the Arizona tests. An anonymous tip points me to Phoenix Arizona Japan Nuclear Radiation tests for radioactive Iodine-131 has been detected in milks samples at levels up to 1600% above federal EPA drinking water standards. These are the highest known levels of nuclear fallout in tests to date for Iodine radiation in any milk samples.
With help from the FDA and USDA, the biotech industry is set to completely take over our food supply with genetically modified ingredients, irrespective of the wishes of “we the people.” Through collusion, subterfuge, and a bit of back-door manipulation, Monsanto can write it’s own ticket with the U.S. Federal Government’s stamp of approval. If the rules get in the way, then change the rules, or at least their interpretation, to fit the situation.
I recently returned from a visit of several days to an alternate universe: Canadian health care. As a physician who has practiced in the United States for 44 years, I have experienced many aspects of our health care system, including its terrible inequities. Although some Americans get very good health care, there are many who get little or none. Then there are others who get too much: tests, procedures and drugs that they don’t need. The whole system is fragmented, chaotic, inefficient and terribly expensive. We are not getting good value for our enormous expenditure on health care.
"The unfortunate truth is we are likely to see more such disasters. The world has witnessed an unnerving history of nuclear accidents," he said at a conference, calling for a global debate on the safety of nuclear energy.
Fears have been reignited about the safety of energy saving light bulbs after a group of scientists warned that they contain cancer causing chemicals. Scientists claim that several carcinogenic chemicals are released when energy saving light bulbs are switched on. Their report advises that the bulbs should not be left on for extended periods, particularly near someone’s head, as they emit poisonous materials when switched on. Peter Braun, who carried out the tests at the Berlin's Alab Laboratory, said: “For such carcinogenic substances it is important they are kept as far away as possible from the human environment.”
“Dr. Robert J. Gilbert has a multi-faceted background in both spiritual and scientific studies. He is a former U.S. Marine Corps Instructor in Nuclear-Biological-Chemical Warfare Survival; since leaving the service in 1985 he has conducted independent research into the Geometric basis of modern science and new technologies…..”
#1 According to the World Bank, 44 million people around the globe have been pushed into extreme poverty since last June because of rising food prices.
#2 The world is losing topsoil at an astounding rate. In fact, according to Lester Brown, “one third of the world’s cropland is losing topsoil faster than new soil is forming through natural processes”.
#3 Due to U.S. ethanol subsidies, almost a third of all corn grown in the United States is now used for fuel. This is putting a lot of stress on the price of corn.
Just as the federal government is clamping down on medical marijuana dispensaries, the Federal Drug Administration (FDA) may be set to give Big Pharma the clearance to take over the market. In 2007, GW Pharmaceuticals announced that it partnered with Otsuka to bring "Sativex" -- or liquefied marijuana -- to the U.S. The companies recently completed Phase II efficacy and safety trials testing and began discussion with the FDA for Phase III testing. Phase III is generally thought to be the final step before the drug can be marketed in the U.S.
Thousands of gallons of potentially toxic hydraulic fracturing, or "fracking," liquids spilled across pastures and into a stream in rural Pennsylvania early this morning, after a natural gas well suffered a blowout at 11:45 p.m. Tuesday night.
The desire to stop the corporate assault on the environment is giving rise to activism. THE FIRST Earth Day was organized in 1970 in response to a period that had seen one ecological disaster after another. One of the most frightening had come the year before--the devastating Santa Barbara oil spill caused by a blowout on a Union Oil drilling platform just six miles off the coast of Southern California.
The meltdown at a Japanese nuclear power plant after a large earthquake and tsunami rocked the island nation last month drew more than 100 people to a lecture Wednesday by UC Santa Cruz lecturer Daniel Hirsch. Hirsch, a renowned expert on nuclear policy often quoted by major media outlets, spoke at the Stevenson College Event Center on the tragedy at the Fukushima plant and how the U.S. can prevent a similar meltdown at its 104 nuclear reactors, including the two in California.
Workers who sat down for long periods had a higher bowel cancer risk, even if they exercised in the evenings. For the millions of us who sit in front of a computer all day at work, it's not good news. Spending ten years or more in a sedentary job almost doubles the risk of some types of bowel cancer, a study shows.
“The reactors at Fukushima are the largest in the world, and six of them are in total meltdown. They have been melting down since thirty-minutes after the Tsunami’ because the cooling systems went off when the earthquake happened and 90 minutes after the cooling stopped-the reactors went into meltdown. This is all a cover-up, this is a false-flag, this is a poisoning of the oceans the atmosphere and the biosphere. No one can escape.”
The recent silence from Japan about conditions at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear facility that was damaged in the March 11 earthquake and tsunami has a local man wondering just how severely the facility has been damaged. The one thing he does know is that whatever is going on inside the reactors is very serious.
Levels of radioactivity have risen sharply in seawater near a tsunami-crippled nuclear plant in northern Japan, signaling the possibility of new leaks at the facility, the government said Saturday. The announcement came after a magnitude-5.9 earthquake jolted Japan on Saturday morning, hours after the country's nuclear safety agency ordered plant operators to beef up their quake preparedness systems to prevent a recurrence of the nuclear crisis.
As the nuclear industry scrambles to reassure us we are all safe from a catastrophe like Japan’s, the risk of radioactive fallout in the US is very real. Here is a reprint from an article by GCC contributor John Kozinski, teaching us about what foods we can eat in case of radiation exposure. As the crisis in Japan unfolds, there is uncertainty about possible radiation that may affect Japan and the world. Potassium iodide pills have been sold out at many of the American distributors.
According to the Detroit News, a 56-year-old woman faces multiple felony charges and is being held on $500,000 bond after a 10-hour standoff with police, claiming she was protecting her 13-year-old daughter from unnecessary medication. The story which led to this incident, as reported in the Detroit News and The Voice of Detroit, is quite disturbing. “We believe she had an adverse reaction to her immunizations,” Penny Godboldo said. “She began acting out of character, being irritated, having facial grimaces that have been associated with immunizations.” "The doctor had given her psychotropic drugs that caused a bad reaction, made things worse,” said the girl’s father, Mubuarak Hakim. “Maryanne’s decision to wean her from that was making a difference, making her better, helping her to be a happy kid again.” Child Protective Services workers apparently disagreed, however, and obtained a warrant to remove the girl because the mother had withheld her medication. Maryanne reportedly refused to surrender the child, and an ensuing 10-hour standoff with police followed...
BP executives faced angry protesters as shareholders prepared to vote at its annual meeting in London, which is taking place a few days before the first anniversary of the Deepwater Horizon explosion. Among protesters at BP's AGM was Diane Wilson, a shrimp farmer, who was ejected from the conference center lobby. (Photograph: Stefan Rousseau/PA) Fishermen and women from the Gulf coast affected by the spill, some of whom had bought BP shares to allow them to attend the annual meeting, joined climate change activists and artists protesting against the oil company.
Since the Environmental Protection Agency began detecting radiation in rainwater and milk at levels above its maximum contaminant level, government officials have been downplaying the importance of EPA’s maximum contaminant level.
The Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant in Japan emitted a new burst of radioactive material this week after a bungled cooling effort apparently affected spent atomic fuel in the site's No. 4 reactor cooling pond, the Associated Press reported (see GSN, April 13).
After two decades of biotech bullying by Monsanto and Food Inc., aided and abetted by Democrats and Republicans alike in Washington D.C., a grassroots movement of organic consumers and farmers is rising up across the United States. Inspired by the success of their European counterparts in driving genetically engineered crops and foods off the market, not through an EU ban, but through mandatory labeling, several thousand protesters took to the streets on March 26 in 30 different cities, under the banner of “Rally for the Right to Know,” and “Millions Against Monsanto.” http://www.organicconsumers.org/monsanto/index.cfm
The Bill – Nevada Senate Bill 412 (SB 412) provides for the regulation of the practice of complementary integrative medicine by creating a government-sanctioned Board of Complementary and Integrative Medicines to control all natural health care, backed by the power of the State to imprison and fine all offenders. Just imagine when, as with other such medical boards, the power seekers and control freaks who naturally gravitate to positions of power in government come to have the say over what type of natural medicine may be practiced and what type may not. Will your favorite form of natural medicine survive? Or will it be branded a heresy and persecuted? It does not take a rocket scientist to see that this Bill is the road to ruin for all of those creative natural health practitioners who refuse to conform. This Board is just a not-so-clever attempt to create and enforce a monopoly that will end up strangling CAM practice.
White House aides have confirmed the President Obama will outline a deficit reduction plan Wednesday that will put his administration on record in favor of substantial new cuts in Medicare and Medicaid, the major federal programs underwriting health care for the elderly and the poor.
News about the the crippled Fukushima-Daiichi plant goes from bad to worse. IN A nuclear crisis that is becoming more and more serious all the time, Japan's Nuclear Safety Agency confirmed that radioactive iodine-131 in seawater samples taken near the crippled Fukushima-Daiichi nuclear power complex--which was seriously damaged by the tsunami caused by an earthquake off the coast of Japan--is 4,385 times the level permitted by law.
An Interview with Devra Davis There is a book you ought to buy. It's called Disconnect: The Truth About Cell Phone Radiation, What the Industry Is Doing to Hide It, and How to Protect Your Family by Devra Davis (Dutton, 2010). Buy it from a book store – if you can find a book store that carries it. Davis said that when the book was published in September 2010, she traveled to San Francisco, a hot bed of calls for right to know legislation when it comes to cell phone radiation.
Milk from Little Rock and drinking water from Philadelphia contained the highest levels of Iodine-131 from Japan yet detected by the Environmental Protection Agency, according to data released by EPA Saturday.
The Great Lakes of North America make up 20% of the Earth's fresh surface water. Their dynamic ecosystems have been considered by many Native American tribes to function as the heart of the interconnected ecosystems that make up the North American continent known to many of the Indigenous peoples here as Turtle Island. The Great Lakes are known world wide for their biodiversity, beauty, fishing, and trade and shipping routes. These fragile and beautiful ecosystems along with the human populations that live along their shores are under constant threat from the Nuclear Industry that has been slowly and quietly irradiating the heart of the Turtle for decades.

A board of Education in Canada expressed support for a trans teacher after she heavily attacked on social media because of photos that show their breast implants.
The council this week unveiled a teacher safety planidentified as Kayla Lemieux, after students shared their photos online.
The industrial arts teacher, who previously identified as male and is now identifying as female, recently went viral after social media posts portrayed her. showing up in class wearing big, turbo-charged breasts.
The Halton District School Board, representing Oakville Trafalgar High School outside Toronto, has taken a stand in defense of the teacher. “extremely efficient”according to the “Toronto Sun”.
“All the kids love being in her class”said chairman Margo Shuttleworth.
Student Owen LaPlante confirmed:
“I’m fine with it. I know some of my friends are a little uncomfortable with it, but I think she should be able to express herself however she wants.”
The mother of a senior at the school said she supported Kayla for coming out as a trans woman, but didn’t agree with her big breasts.
“I think he’s going too far”said Lei.
“This school board is out of their minds. So students can’t show their nipples, but teachers can?”complained a mother.

We decided to create storefront windows, concrete walls, even neighboring buildings. I hope that the outside of the botánica enhances your experience of the inside. In addition to having the opportunity to create simple, but beautiful window displays, the outside of the store will help you (the visitor) experience the store. It is my hope that the contrast of colors, textures, and light from outside to inside, will replicate (at least on a small scale) some of the feelings of the botánica aesthetic. Botánicas are colorful, they are cluttered, my grandmothers was extremely clean and crisp, but in addition, botánicas have a very spiritual feeling. I hope that you feel this when you enter the exhibit.
Here are some photos of the outside of the exhibit. The artwork here is on the outside wall of the exhibit, it is by Dan Maron.

We’re highlighting a really unique partnership we’ve seen blossom in our community. Teens for Food Justice has partnered with Bruce Randolph School (one of our Mobile Food Market locations) to launch a hydroponic farm run entirely by the students! We discovered this program when Bruce Randolph sought us out to distribute excess student-grown produce at our Mobile Food Market. That should give you an idea of how successful these students have been at running this farm!
Teens for Food Justice operates high-capacity hydroponic farms on five school campuses across New York City, and one in our hometown of Denver. The students in grades 6-12 use real-world 21st-century science and technology to grow up to 10,000 pounds (per school) of hydroponic produce annually. Vertical hydroponic farming uses less space and just a tenth of the water resources compared to an outdoor farm, which allows students to grow more produce, more quickly.
The process of growing, caring for, harvesting, and eating the produce equips students with the expertise and hands-on experience needed to combat food insecurity. The locations of these hydroponic farms are not a coincidence. These programs are started in areas specifically chosen based on their need for food access.
Schools are natural community anchors, and Teens for Food Justice combines STEM education, nutrition education, and food-justice advocacy to mold the next generation of agricultural experts. By partnering with We Don’t Waste and servicing our distribution network, TFFJ and WDW are working together to create an immediate and inter-generational impact on ending food insecurity in Bruce Randolph’s neighborhood.
We Don’t Waste has received hundreds of pounds of excess greens for our Bruce Randolph markets since the program kicked off in the summer of 2022. At each of these markets, we typically serve between 150 to 200 families. The students’ view of food is transformed, and their community can reap the benefits as well!
Produce is one of the most culturally universal foods, and one of the most requested food groups across all of We Don’t Waste’s Mobile Food Markets. We are thrilled to be able to receive this produce from the Bruce Randolph School, and are grateful to Teens for Food Justice for making this program possible!

I have joined Tim Challies' 2017 Christian Reading Challenge again. It was so helpful in getting me reading again last year. I went from reading almost nothing in 2015 to reading 65 books for the challenge (plus a few extra that didn't fit into the categories in the challenge.). Like last year, I will not follow the challenge in order, but read whatever I want and fit the books into whatever category seems best. However, I do have some specific goals for the year:
1. Learn from C.S. Lewis. I am beginning with a biography, then I will go through the C.S. Lewis books on my shelves in chronological order. I may not have every single one, but I have most of them. I am not putting an end date on this project. It may take more than a year or two, but this is the year I'll get started. I am working on my first book already, a biography entitled C.S. Lewis: His Life and Thought by Terry Glaspey. I came across it at a thrift store last week, and picked it up because the introduction was written by George Grant, a voice I trust. I'm not sure how it compares to other biographies, but so far it is concise and well-written, and it is inspiring me to read all of C.S. Lewis's books.
2. Keep up with my book clubs. I'm part of two local homeschool mom book clubs, though there is considerable overlap in the membership. In one, we are going through the Iliad. We will finish that this month, have a little break, then begin the Odyssey. In the other, we read mostly classics, though we've been known to throw in some Wendell Berry and Elizabeth Goudge. Our first book for the year will be The Brothers Karamazov. I have never read any Russian literature before, so this is exciting! I anticipate we will read five or six classics by the end of the year.
3. Keep reading Charlotte Mason. Right now I am doing that with an online study group using Start Here by Brandy Vencel of Afterthoughts as a guide.
4. Pre-read at least some of next year's school books for SA(8). I'll be reading from Ambleside Online's Year 4 booklist. This is becoming more and more important as SA begins to read more of his own school books. I'll start with Kingsley's Madam How and Lady Why and Bulfinch's The Age of Fable.
5. Read through the ever-expanding list of books people have recommended and/or lent to me. This is where I start getting a bit overwhelmed. Number one on the list is pure fun, though: The Complete Father Brown by Chesterton. Then there is The Book That Made Your World, a gift from my parents. I also have a stack of John Eldredge books in my basket, earnestly recommended by a friend. I started Wild at Heart a while ago. Maybe I need to make a rule that I have to finish that before I get to read my Father Brown. At least it will fit neatly into a category in my reading challenge this year (ECPA bestseller). I also just added When Helping Hurts to my list, which I'm really looking forward to.
This month, I plan to finish a few books that are almost complete:
C.S. Lewis: His Life and Thought by Terry Glaspey
Augustine on the Christian Life by Gerald Bray
On Writing Well by William Zinsser (I love this one!)
Wild at Heart by John Eldredge (slogging through this one.)
The Iliad by Homer
I plan to begin:
The Karamazov Brothers by Dostoevsky
The Complete Father Brown by Chesterton (I may spread this out over half a year)
The Pilgrim's Regress (depending on when I finish the Lewis biography)
I plan to continue slowly, along with a group:
For the Children's Sake by Susan Schaeffer MacAulay
portions of Charlotte Mason's Original Home Schooling Series
Side by Side by Ed Welch
Reading all this at once is a little much for me...once I finish the loose ends from last year I will try to focus on no more than three books at once.
What are you planning to read in 2017?

Smoke On The Water Guitar Lesson – Deep Purple
In this Smoke On The Water guitar lesson series, I will teach you the main riff to this iconic guitar driven classic rock masterpiece, along with Ritchie Blackmore's awesome guitar solo note-for-note. In the first video lesson, I will teach you the riff.
A lot of this riff's popularity probably lies in the fact that it's learned by many beginner guitar players since it is actually quite easy to play. Unfortunately many of them don't play it correctly so hopefully this lesson will clear up any questions they may have.
As I mentioned in the video lesson, there are multiple ways to play this riff but I went with the way I have seen guitarist Ritchie Blackmore play it many times in live videos.
Technically this riff is not very difficult to play, but you do need to concentrate on a few things. First you want to make sure that you release the pressure on some of the chords a little bit early to make the chords slightly staccato at the very beginning on the riff. In addition to that, some of the chords are held and sustained. You need to be able to hear the difference between the two and perform them as well.
In the second video lesson the difficult level will be raised quite a bit as we tackle Ritchie Backmore's highly musical, yet virtuosic solo. As usual, I will perform the solo first, then break it down for you phrase-by-phrase to make the learning process as quick as possible. Some of the faster guitar parts are broken down into their own phrase. These little phrases make for some great technique workouts.
You should approach practicing these fast parts by repeating them in a loop. Just staying in rhythm and going through the lick again and again without stopping will help you absorb all the notes and get any recurring patterns down quickly. Good luck with this one!
The solo may be quite difficult, but this iconic guitar riff really is approachable by every guitar player on the planet so no excuses this time! There should be something in this Smoke On The Water guitar lesson series for everyone to play. 🙂
If these free lessons help you, please donate to keep new ones coming daily. Thanks!! 🙂
Please include the Solo for Smoke on the Water. It really is one of the best solos I have ever heard.
Hi Carl, Ive figured out most of the rest of the verse and bridge to the song. I agree, though W Louie, pls teach the solo. Im developing a decent ear thanks to your lessons, but a jump start would help. We lost our lead guy and I have ALOT of lead work to catch up on as fast as possible. lol PLS help 🙂
I was just now thinking about finishing this one. Haha!!
I’m amazed that you can slow down and speed up and still remember the solos note for note. How you keep all that stuff from getting jumbled is beyond me. You are truly gifted. I love your lessons and you are by far the best teacher that I have ever had. I was hoping for some advice though. You are teaching me things that I should have learned a long time ago and I am caught between the right way and the wrong way i learned. I started to play with my pinky early on, but was told most rock guitarist use their ring finger for playing across 4 frets. So now I’m not sure what to do when I play is there a right or wrong way? Another thing is hybrid picking. Sometimes I play with my fingers and most time with a pick, but now I feel like I’m starting over with Hybrid picking, and it can get very frustrating. I’m caught between all 3 ways. Any advice would be helpful.
Is there a way you can include a little more theory with the lessons? I long to understand the reasons chords work together and the reason a particular a scale form works in a song.
I would love to learn “Stranglehold and “Hey Baby” by Ted Nugent. One of my favorite solos is by Dickey Betts in “Blue Sky”. And of course anything else from “Machine Head”.
I have signed up for 3 months, but I will be with you for a long time.
Hey Louie, great to hear from you. I personally don’t feel there is a right or wrong way fingering wise. All players hand’s are different and you should just do what comes the most naturally to you. You should still use your pinky of course, but you can definitely have your ring finger be the dominant finger if you want. There are many great players on both sides of the fence. 🙂
When it comes to picking, I feel you should just try to master everything from alternate to economy to hybrid. Many things can be played in an assortment of ways, the key is to be able to experiment with a part using all 3 techniques to find what is not only the most comfortable, but what sounds the best as well. Having all 3 of those picking styles in your bag of tricks will definitely give you more options when doing that.
I agree there should be more theory in the song lessons. However, since they are all published on YouTube I get a lot of flack if I don’t go quick enough through the lessons. I guess it is just the fast food culture we live in these days. So because of that, and the fact that I want people to actually watch those lessons, I keep the talking to a minimum which of course leaves out a lot of opportunities to show someone how keys work around the fretboard and so forth. However, my Premium section is going to be updated a lot with new theory, ear training and fretboard harmony lessons so you can learn just about anything you need there. 🙂
Hope this helps!
Another great lesson Carl, thank you for breaking down the solo.


Northampton Town Under 18s manager Jon Brady says his team showed character and resilience in their 2-2 draw away to top-of-the-table Luton Town on Saturday morning.
Tommy Curry and Liam Cross scored the young Cobblers' goals in an EFL Youth Alliance League fixture that they were largely on top in.
Brady said: "We conceded an early goal so it's the same old story, but we fought our way back into the game.
"We equalised through Tommy with an excellent finish and led through Liam with a good header.
"We had a few half chances and we can learn from their equaliser.
"We were really dominating the game and possession and in the end I'm disappointed for the lads because we should have had all three points.
"However, they showed a lot of character and resilience after the disappointment of the FA Youth Cup loss on Wednesday.
"The boys worked really hard today so I'm pleased with the way they've bounced back."
The Cobblers youngsters have played four games in 12 days, and manager Brady added: "Our squad's very thin.
"However, we've given a lot of players game time which is great because it's all about development and ensuring they're competitive.
"That's very pleasing for us."
The Under 18s' next competitive fixture is in two weeks when they travel to Gillingham.


Last-minute talks were underway between the Boeing Co. unit that operates the Delta rocket program and the union representing about 1,500 machinists as a midnight strike deadline approached.
Two weeks ago, locals with the International Assn. of Machinists and Aerospace Workers in California, Alabama and Florida rejected Boeing's latest offer for a three-year contract.
Terms of the proposal were not disclosed.
The union later delivered notice to Boeing of its intent to strike at 12:01 a.m. today. A federal mediator was meeting with both sides Tuesday.

Realist master takes flight
Renowned artist John Baeder debuts new series at the Fort Wayne Museum of Art
By Michael Summers
Fort Wayne Reader
When it comes to contemporary art, realism sometimes doesn’t get the full attention it deserves. It’s not that realism isn’t appreciated or admired or collected — it’s all those things, especially the last one. It’s more that in praising the detail or precision in a work of realism, people overlook other qualities. “In a realist picture, it just doesn’t mean that nothing is going on just because it’s a depiction of something in real life,” says Charles Shepard, director of the Fort Wayne Museum of Art. “In other words, it doesn’t mean that there’s no intellectual energy there. There’s more happening compositionally, aesthetically than you realize.”
Shepard is actually passing on something he was taught by Ivan Karp, famed art dealer and owner of the OK Harris gallery in New York. It was Karp who first introduced Shepard to the work of John Baeder, one of the 20th century’s greatest painters of realism.
A show of new work by John Baeder — John Baeder Takes Wing on a Higher Road — is currently running at the Fort Wayne Museum of Art through January.
Shepard is, of course, excited about featuring an artist of Baeder’s stature at the FWMoA, but there’s something else there, too. To hear Shepard tell it, it was through Baeder’s work that Shepard gained an appreciation for realism. As a graduate student, Shepard was an associate curator at the Williams college museum; his assignment was to look for the “up-and-coming” new trends, so he used to visit the art galleries in New York.
One of them was Ivan Karp’s gallery OK Harris. Karp specialized in realism, and was known for his integrity, honesty, and good taste. Still… “I have to confess, at that time I wouldn’t have told you that realism was my thing,” Shepard recalls. “Ivan picked up right away that I may be leaning towards abstraction and conceptualism and this kind of thing, and he thought it was his duty to teach me about contemporary realism. And it worked. I immediately trusted the guy. He said ‘I know how you’re thinking. Most of you young guys think that way, but there’s other kinds of art to think about’.”
One of Karp’s artists was John Baeder, whose work was already garnering attention. “The work I first saw of his, and which he became most famous for, was a long-running series of the old-style American diners in various different states,” says Shepard. “What drove Baeder was that at the time, these diners were going away. He was quick to recognize that these places were disappearing, and was trying to capture these distinctive styles and ‘personalities’ before they were gone.”
Baeder’s popular paintings ended up not just preserving the memory of those old-style diners; they helped launch a national effort in the late 70s and early 80s to save the structures themselves.
After his introduction to Baeder’s work, Shepard says he made it a point to get something by Baeder everywhere he worked. But he never actually met Baeder until a couple years ago. Ivan Karp, Baeder’s friend and long-time mentor, had died, and Baeder was working on new subject matter — historical military aircraft. Shepard was very interested, and discovered something he didn’t know about the artists when they finally talked. “Baeder said, ‘Fort Wayne? Yeah, I know it. Baer Field. I grew up in South Bend’,” Shepard laughs. “I could have sworn the guy was a life-long New Yorker.”
The show at the Fort Wayne Museum of Art features nearly 40 large-scale paintings of historical military aircraft, created with Baeder’s distinctive style and attention to detail. In his professional career, Baeder was an agency art director, and Shepard thinks that training and background — in the days before computer-based graphic design — helped develop the precision in his images.
But with Baeder’s work, it’s more than just craft. “There are a lot of realist painters that stun you with their level of detail, but they’re cool to the heart,” Shepard says. “But in John Baeder’s work, there’s this passion and emotion that he’s able to communicate. He imbues each piece with it, and people can feel that.”
Indeed, while Baeder’s detail is incredible, there’s something dynamic about the aircraft paintings that really grabs the viewer. You can practically smell the grease and gasoline and hear the buzz of the engines. You get the impression that if you looked a fraction of a second earlier, you could have seen the planes moving. In a statement accompanying the show, Baeder explains that the work is a return to the images that lit up his imagination in his youth. "When I was a kid, I loved old military aircraft,” he says. “I still do.” They perfectly capture a child’s “gee-whiz” fascination with military aircraft.
As we said above, Shepard is very excited to debut this new series by Baeder. “Baeder’s place in American art history is secured,” Shepard says. “He’s still creating work in his 70s, which is only going to increase is stature. At this point, he could have kept doing diners, and he’d be fine. But I think they’re going to treat him even better going forward for being brave enough to change subject matter, and for doing it so well.”

OCD Action member Helen Barbour has drawn on her experience of the condition to write her debut novel, The A to Z of Normal, which has just been published. She said ‘There is still a huge amount of stigma around mental health and so I felt that this should be at the heart of my first major fictional work, but I wanted to handle the subject in a very accessible way.’
Helen likened her approach to that of Mark Haddon, whose books include The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time and A Spot of Bother, in which the central character suffers a mental breakdown. ‘I write in a similar vein – tackling serious topics, but with a light touch,’ she said. ‘The A to Z of Normal is about a woman struggling to overcome her obsessive-compulsive behaviour, so that she can marry the man she loves, while also dealing with some difficult family relationships.’
Helen began her working life as a journalist on the Express & Star evening newspaper in Wolverhampton, and has written for the lifestyle magazine, Complete Wellbeing, and for the mental health charities Mind and OCD Action. She blogs as The Reluctant Perfectionist about living with obsessive-compulsive disorder, perfectionism and anxiety.
Here’s a taster:
‘Clare Thorpe’s need for order and symmetry governs everything she owns – from tins and toiletries, to cushions and clothes. Yet she has always managed to hide the compulsions dominating her world. Until now. When long-distance boyfriend Tom proposes, her secret life begins to unravel. How can she share a future with the man she loves, if she can’t even share her space? And when the only way forward brings a threat greater than any compulsive behaviour, do they have a future together at all? A poignant and humorous story of love, family, secrets…and military precision.’

Riteish: HOUSEFULL 2 has a much bigger campaign
March 16, 2012 06:48:28 PM IST Joginder Tuteja, Glamsham Editorial
Three weeks remain for the release of HOUSEFULL 2 and its actors are gearing up to be a part of multi- city promotional tour. With a huge campaign planned by Sajid Nadiadwala and Sajid Khan, 'the dirty dozen' of HOUSEFULL 2 is well prepared for the grueling schedule ahead.
Says Riteish who plays one of the four 'Jollys' in the film, "Now that HOUSEFULL 2 promotion has kick-started, you would see a much bigger campaign since the film requires that."
He is obviously making this reference in comparison to TERE NAAL LOVE HO GAYA that had made a relatively quieter entry. Still, many have wondered though if a much more aggressive promotional campaign could have further elevated the fortunes of the film. The film which fortunately found acceptance from the audience could possibly have garnered an even better opening had there been much more on-your-face publicity. CHECK OUT: Exhausted Riteish shoots song for HOUSEFULL 2
"One should understand that every film has to be publicised according to its standing. You can't over publicise your film; you have to do it as per its budget so that its recovery becomes easier. In fact this is what has helped TERE NAAL LOVE HO GAYA as well since its budget has been a major advantage," reasons Riteish.
Now that he is juggling between small (TERE NAAL LOVE HO GAYA) and big (HOUSEFULL 2) budgeted films, there is also a medium budgeted KYAA SUPER KOOL HAI HUM reaching the finishing line soon.
"Yes, the film's shooting is on and we would be arriving on 3rd August. Meanwhile I am now trying to figure out what next to do. I am listening to a couple of scripts and there should be an announcement soon," concludes Riteish.

At the moment, though, it's just her husband, Orlando Bloom, who earns a living as an actor. Miranda stays busy with her posing jobs and her organic skin care line, Kora, in addition to being a doting mom to nearly 7-month-old Flynn.

Nearly ten years after the East Timorese people voted overwhelmingly to separate from Indonesia, East Timor’s foreign policy towards Indonesian has been characterised by a policy of appeasement.
Since assuming power in 2002, the first constitutional government led by Fretilin, as well as the current coalition government, have been trying to avoid any action that will directly or indirectly upset East Timor’s giant neighbour, Indonesia.
The repeated calls by prominent human rights groups to bring the perpetrators of human rights violations in 1999 to trial before an international tribunal has so far met an unenthusiastic response among leaders in East Timor.
In an interview with the Washington Post in 2006, the current president of East Timor, Ramos Horta said "we have consciously rejected the notion of pushing for an international tribunal for East Timor because, A, it is not practical, B, it would wreck our relationship with Indonesia, and, C, we are serious about supporting Indonesia's own transition towards democracy".
The East Timor government fears that any attempt to prosecute those responsible for atrocities, including the powerful Indonesian generals, could undermine the fragile democratic process underway in both East Timor and Indonesia.
This relationship is often put to the test. Last year, the East Timor president, Ramos Horta, while recovering from his gun-shot wound operation in a Darwin hospital, criticised the involvement of some Indonesian elements in his shooting. Among them he included the Indonesian private TV Network (Metro TV) whom he censured for conducting an interview with the late deserted army leader Alfredo Reinaldo in an unknown location in Indonesia.
The allegation drew strong criticism from the Indonesian public. In an interactive live debate carried by Metro TV many Indonesians expressed outrage over the allegation and called on the Indonesian government to suspend bilateral relations with East Timor.
The tension remained and was only eased after the East Timor Prime Minister, Xanana Gusmao, went to Indonesian to both clarify and formally apologise for the president’s remarks.
The report produced by the Timorese-Indonesian Commission Truth and Friendship (CTF) into crimes committed during the Indonesian occupation of East Timor from 1975 to 1999 is an example of where the East Timorese government tried to appease and avoid upsetting the Indonesian government. It focuses exclusively on events in 1999, ignoring even worse crimes against humanity in the previous 23 years of Indonesian occupation.
The International Center for Transitional Justice (ICTJ) (2009) in their 42-page analysis of the CTF’s report concluded that they avoided a number of important questions relating to institutional responsibility. Did senior officials instigate the violence or simply fail to prevent it? What was the role of discrete units, such as the Special Forces? Notably, the CTF report further fails to recommend the perpetrators to be brought to justice.
Although the CTF report did suggest that Indonesia’s military was responsible for “supporting” and equipping the militia units responsible for the massacres in 1999 and the many cases of torture and intimidation, some Timorese and Indonesian leaders now comfortably claim that the report implies that the two countries should put the past behind, bringing closure to the matter.
Balanced against the above, it can be argued that there are three main reasons why the policy of appeasement is necessary - security, economic trade and regional co-operation.

Case made out by the prosecution is not free from doubt as independent witness, a doctor had recorded statement of the deceased stating that she herself had consumed the aluminium phosphide tablets, Supreme Court noted
The Supreme Court has set aside conviction and life term imposed on a man accused of murdering his wife by allegedly administering poisonous substance, after disbelieving a dying declaration recorded just an hour before the death by a police officer and giving credence to the one recorded by a doctor.
A bench of Justices Abhay S Oka and Pankaj Mithal noted the contradiction between dying declaration recorded by an independent doctor and the one recorded by an ASI.
Court accordingly allowed an appeal filed by Surjit Singh against the Punjab and Haryana High Court's judgment, which upheld the trial court's order holding him guilty in the case.
It was noted that both the courts below believed the prosecution case regarding the dying declaration recorded by Assistant Sub Inspector and relied upon the testimony of Kaushalya Devi, the mother of the deceased.
The appellant contended the doctor had not certified that the deceased was fit enough to give a statement to the ASI who allegedly recorded her dying declaration, so it will have to be discarded. He said the first dying declaration was made before Dr Manvir Gupta who stated that the deceased disclosed to him that she herself consumed the aluminium phosphide tablets.
In the case, the court also noted, Dr Manvir Gupta was not declared as hostile. In a sense, Dr Manvir Gupta was the first independent person who asked the deceased about the incident.
"Thus, there is no reason to discard his testimony, especially about the dying declaration made before him by the deceased that she herself consumed the tablets containing poison. His version cannot be discarded only on the ground that he did not inform the Police in writing about the disclosure," the bench said.
The dying declaration allegedly recorded by the ASI will have to be discarded, then the other dying declaration recorded by an independent doctor, namely Dr Manvir Gupta, holds the field, the bench added.
"Now, what remains is the evidence of Kaushalya Devi (PW-7), the mother of the deceased. It is a version of an interested witness. A serious doubt is created in the mind of the Court about the entire prosecution case as Dr Manvir Gupta (PW-13), who was the prosecution witness, was not declared as hostile and as one of the most crucial witnesses i.e., Dr Sudhir Sharma was not examined," it further said.
The prosecution claimed the couple used to have constant quarrels since the marriage, though they were blessed with a boy and a girl. On July 6, 1999, in the evening, while giving drinking water to the deceased, the appellant was alleged to have mixed certain substance in the water. Her health started deteriorating. She died on July 8, 1999.
"Therefore, we are of the considered view that the case made out by the prosecution is not free from doubt and, therefore, we have no hesitation in holding that the guilt of the appellant has not been proved beyond a reasonable doubt," court said.
