The effects of an equimolar mixture of l-arginine and l-glutamate (Arg·Glu) on cell viability and cellular stress using in vitro cell culture systems are examined with reference to NaCl, in the context of monoclonal antibody formulation. Cells relevant to subcutaneous administration were selected: the human monocyte cell line THP-1, grown as a single cell suspension, and adherent human primary fibroblasts. For THP-1 cells, the mechanism of cell death caused by relatively high salt concentrations was investigated and effects on cell activation/stress assessed as a function of changes in membrane marker and cytokine (interleukin-8) expression. These studies demonstrated that Arg·Glu does not have any further detrimental effects on THP-1 viability in comparison to NaCl at equivalent osmolalities, and that both salts at higher concentrations cause cell death by apoptosis; there was no significant effect on measures of THP-1 cellular stress/activation. For adherent fibroblasts, both salts caused significant toxicity at ~400mOsm/kg, although Arg·Glu caused a more precipitous subsequent decline in viability than did NaCl. These data indicate that Arg·Glu is of equivalent toxicity to NaCl and that the mechanism of toxicity is such that cell death is unlikely to trigger inflammation upon subcutaneous injection in vivo.

Designed with ease, clearness, and positivity in mind, Joo’s visual identity, crafted by BOND Creative Agency, is quite the carefree branding system. The rental living brand wanted a way to showcase its brand’s excitement, and directly from the bounds of white space, peaceful color combinations, and quirky logo variations, the visual identity does just that.
An entirely new brand for rental business of Asuntoyhtymä, a property developer and manager. Joo is founded on simplicity, clarity and positivity, all of which manifest in carefree rental living.
Articulating carefree living
‘Joo’ is a colloquial expression for yeah or yes. It’s the most used word in the Finnish language and depending on intonation, also one of the most diverse in terms of meaning. In addition to being either a definite or doubtful response, ‘Joo’ can convey excitement or compliance, agitation or affirmation. As such it turned out to be the perfect name for a brand speaking to people at different stages of life, with disparate needs and dreams of what a home should be – which as the project progressed, transpired to be just one aspect of what Joo has to offer. Joo is about much more than apartments. It’s about offering a base for living the life you desire. It’s living as a service.
Less isn’t more, it’s just enough
The identity is all about keeping things simple, focusing on the essentials and therefore instilling a sense of carefreeness. By subtracting rather than adding elements, we managed to create space for endless combinations of colours, images, logo variations and conversational copy.

KIEV, July 21, /ITAR-TASS/. Ukrainian President Pyotr Poroshenko on Monday submitted to the Verkhovna Rada, Ukraine’s unicameral parliament, his decree on partial mobilization, the presidential press service reported.
In line with the document, the mobilization has been announced in particular “in connection with the spread of terrorism manifestations on the territory of Ukraine, which lead to the death of civilians, servicemen and personnel of paramilitary formations and law enforcement agencies of the country in its eastern regions.”
The move, the decree says, is called upon “to ensure the state’s defense, on the basis of the Ukrainian National Security and Defense Council’s proposal.”
The drafting of people liable for military service, reservists and delivery of vehicles to provide for the troops’ demands will be carried out in volumes defined by mobilization plans with account for reservists.
The Rada is to consider the presidential decree on Tuesday. Rada Speaker Alexander Turchinov said at the conciliation board of leaders of deputy groups and factions that the parliament should approve the document within two days for it to take effect.
Troops loyal to Kiev and local militias in the southeastern Ukrainian Donetsk and Lugansk regions are involved in fierce clashes as the Ukrainian armed forces are conducting a military operation to regain control over the breakaway regions, which on May 11 proclaimed their independence at local referendums.
During the military operation, conducted since mid-April, Kiev has used armored vehicles, heavy artillery and attack aviation. According to Ukraine’s Health Ministry, 478 civilians have been killed and 1,392 wounded in it. Many buildings have been destroyed and tens of thousands of people have had to flee Ukraine’s war-torn Southeast.

Legislative Assembly for the ACT: 2018 Week 01 Hansard (Tuesday, 13 February 2018) . . Page.. 39 ..
MR BARR: Madam Speaker, the Attorney-General is absent from question time today. I will endeavour to assist members in the attorney’s portfolios.
Questions without notice
MR COE: The question I have is for the Minister for Health and Wellbeing. Minister, a few days ago, on 10 February, the Canberra Times reported that there are significant hidden waiting times for patients to see a specialist before they are booked for elective surgery. Some patients have to wait up to five years to see a specialist before they can get an appointment and in turn have to wait for a year further for an operation. The Canberra Times noted that Victoria posts quarterly updates on waiting times to see specialists in the public system but “An ACT Health spokesman could not provide … waiting times to see specialists in the ACT”. Minister, what is the extent of the hidden waiting times here in the ACT to see a specialist?
MS FITZHARRIS: I thank Mr Coe for the question. Like him, I read the article that appeared in the Canberra Times on the weekend. It is certainly a priority of this government to improve access and timeliness of access to all health services. Access to surgery has been boosted today, but I am particularly focused also on making sure that every person who is referred, both within the ACT and, of course, in the surrounding region, to a specialist in ACT Health is immediately triaged and will be contacted by ACT Health within a 10-day period to inform them of when they may see a specialist. We want to make sure, of course, that they will be contacted within 10 days of that referral being received by ACT Health from their GP. Then they will be informed of the time that it may take them to see their specialist depending on the clinical urgency. It is also important to note that not everybody who will see a specialist will necessarily be on the elective surgery waiting list. For example, in the specialty of urology only approximately 30 per cent of patients who may see a specialist will then go on to receive surgery.
On access to data, that is a great question and one I am pleased to answer. As has been an important part of the ACT-wide health data review, a very important pillar of the six pillars of that review is the information that we provide to consumers about ACT health data. That is an important component of the data review which will be completed late next month. I look forward to informing the Assembly on progress in that review and also subsequently the recommendations of the review and the government’s response. Access to timely information for consumers is a priority for me.
MR COE: Minister, why is the ACT government unable to provide waiting times to see specialists in the ACT system? Does the data actually exist? If so, will you report on it in the future?
MS FITZHARRIS: Yes, we will be, as part of the data review referred to in my previous answer, looking very closely at significantly increasing the data that we

The leader of the Lioness program is Joe, played by the amazing Zoe Saldaña. Joe has the difficult position of leading and training these talented women in their undercover operations.

Located in the heart of Ohio's agricultural country, Deer Creek State Park is central Ohio's vacation showplace. A collage of meadows and woodlands surround the scenic reservoir. This 2,337-acre resort park features a modern lodge, cottages, campground, golf course, swimming beach and boating for outdoor enthusiasts.
On a long ridge that once overlooked Deer Creek and its valley, researchers have discovered evidence of a camp of an ancient Indian tribe. The nomads who camped here around 2,000 B.C. were hunters and gatherers and used this camp periodically throughout the year. Since agriculture was not practiced by the nomads, they moved on after they depleted the plant or animal food supplies in a locale. Burial sites near the camp indicate it was inhabited over a period of time.
In more recent years, a cottage owned by Harry M. Daugherty, the attorney general under President Warren G. Harding, overlooked the valley. The rustic one and one-half story cottage was built in 1918. The President was said to have visited this cottage which now bears his name.
The completion of the dam in 1968 created the lake with the park officially opening in 1974.
232 electric sites
Features include showers, flush toilets and a dump station
Pets are permitted on all sites except Camper Cabin sites - 2 pet maximum per site
Tetherball, volleyball, basketball, pickleball and gaga ball courts, horseshoe pits, 2 playgrounds, and miniature golf at the campground
Bicycles can be rented from the camp office
Group camp is available by reservation
Two sites accommodate up to 100 people each
Primitive, tent camping only
An equestrian camp provides primitive overnight facilities for riders
Unlimited horsepower boating is permitted on the 1,277-acre Deer Creek reservoir. Two boat launch ramps provide access to the lake.
A fully equipped marina offers fuel, boat rental and seasonal dock rentals. For information, call (740) 869-4543.
Boaters may swim from their boats in designated boat-swim areas. One boat-swim area is located in the cove adjacent to the lodge.
18-hole disc golf course plus one practice hole. The course is located near the campground check-in station and is free to use. Equipment may be rented at the campground store.
Deer Creek Lake is famous for its early spring saugeye fishing below the dam. Excellent catches of catfish, largemouth bass and crappie also entice the angler. A valid Ohio fishing license is required.
Golfing enthusiasts will enjoy the park’s 350-acre, 18-hole golf course, located near the lodge. Course challenges include 10 ponds and 46 sand traps.
The lake provides excellent waterfowl hunting. Fourteen hunting blinds are issued each season on a lottery basis. Hunting for pheasant, rabbit, squirrel and deer is not permitted in the state park, but it is permitted in the state wildlife area adjacent to the park. An archery range can also be found at the wildlife area. A valid Ohio hunting license is required.
Several picnic areas and nine shelterhouses are situated in scenic locations around lake.
A 1,700-foot swimming beach with picnic tables and grills is available at the park. Pets are NOT permitted on swimming beaches. A boat-swim area is located in the cove adjacent to the lodge. Swimming is permitted during daylight hours only. Swim at your own risk.

American Lit Remixed

American Lit Remixed: Music in Twenty-First-Century American Literature identifies a new sound emerging in digital age-literature. It reads works including A Visit from the Goon Squad and Mr. Burns: A Post-Electric Play through the lens of remix theory, a term Eduardo Navas coined to describe the remix as a form of artistic and cultural discourse. I argue that digital-age American fiction, poetry, and drama offer new modes of connecting to self, others, and place through remixing the music and technology of the past.
Musical features such as references to popular songs and structural similarities to music recordings lend a retro sound, feel, and structure to contemporary American texts, even when they address life in the digital era. Literature engages with the musical past in order to remix the twenty-first century’s dystopian, disconnected ethos and find hope for the future.
Critics often focus on technology’s negative impact on writing and the music industry, but American Lit Remixed emphasizes music as a source of creative potential in twenty-first-century literature, including new ways of storytelling and relating.

Cara Michell, MUP 2016
Organization: Rebuild Foundation, Chicago, IL, USA
Sponsor: Doebele Community Service Fellowship
“Yesterday was my third chance to help out with the Rebuild Foundation’s “Community Cataloguing” workshop. Though I normally work at UChicago Arts & Public Life’s Place Lab as part of my Doebele Fellowship with Theaster Gates, I’ve had a chance each Wednesday this month to switch it up and spend some time with Kate Hadley Toftness (manager of archival collections and public engagement for Rebuild) at the Black Cinema House. The idea for Community Cataloguing came out of a desire to ensure that residents of the South Shore community in Chicago can feel ownership over the collections that will soon inhabit the Stony Island Arts Bank. Those collections include he Frankie Knuckles Record Collection, UChicago’s glass lantern slide art history collection and the Ed Williams collection, but our cataloguing workshops focus on the Johnson Library collection.
Members of the community are invited twice a week to help us curate the books given to Theaster Gates by Johnson Publishing. This collection includes over 70 years worth of archival prints from Jet and Ebony magazine, the Johnson research library and autographed literary pics sent by editors and authors in hopes that Jet or Ebony would review them. What’s most important about this project and its future home in the Stony Island Arts Bank is that a history that was made by Chicago’s Black community can now live on in that same community, avoiding the common fait of becoming entombed by some elitist institution.”

Primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD) is a congenital, clinically and ultrastructurally heterogeneous disease due to abnormal structure and/or function of cilia, with impaired mucociliary transport leading to several respiratory disorders. PCD can be diagnosed by the combination of thorough clinical examination with functional and ultrastructural analysis of the cilia. This paper shows progresses in PCD diagnosis obtained by ciliogenesis in culture evaluation of ciliated respiratory cells and by genetic analysis of mutations in candidate genes. Moreover, since to date no specific treatments are available to correct the ciliary dysfunction, the paper shows the proper therapeutical approach by the use of respiratory physiotherapy and regular exercise to favour airways clearance, by antibiotics administration to control acute airway infections. Macrolides administration as antiinflammatory option is suggested.

The Borno Elders Forum, an umbrella body of elders in Borno State, yesterday condemned a statement attributed to the first lady, Dame Patience Jonathan. She was reported as having said that Governor Kashim Shettima, as the chief security officer of the state, is to be held responsible for the schoolgirls’ abduction at Government Secondary School, Chibok, Borno State, on April 14, 2014, by suspected members of the Boko Haram sect.
Spokesperson of the Forum Bulama Mali Gubio, in statement issued yesterday in Maiduguri, said the first lady spoke out of ignorance because Borno is under a state of emergency and that, by that, the powers of control over security have been withdrawn from the governor and vested on the president and commander-in-chief of the armed forces, Dr Goodluck Ebele Jonathan, who exercises the powers through the chief of defence staff or the chief of army staff.
The elders said: “We have listened to the very disturbing remarks of our First Lady saying Governor of Borno State Kashim Shettima should be held responsible as he is the chief security officer of Borno State. It is very important we remind her that the Emergency declared by her dear husband, Mr President, is still in force and this means the constitutional powers of the Governor as chief security officer have been temporarily withdrawn by the President in accordance with section 305 of the constitution which the President relied upon. The President is at the moment the chief security officer of Borno,Yobe and Adamawa states while the governors have administrative powers as democratic structures in compliance with the provisions of the constitution. The President as chief security officer of Borno exercises his powers through his appointees, the Chief of Defence Staff, Chief of Army Staff or any of the service chiefs and the Governor administers other aspects of governance that fall under the concurrent legislative list of the constitution.”
In addition, the elders said it was very ridiculous that the first lady threatened to lead women to protest at the Government House in Maiduguri when her husband is still the commander-in-chief of the armed forces with the provision of security directly vested on the federal government that he leads.
“If the First Lady of the nation absolves the President of blames and leads protest to the Governor of Borno, should the Governor’s wife also lead protest to the Chairman of Chibok local government area as the one to be blamed? Should the wife of the chairman also lead protest to the principal of the school as the one to be blamed and possibly the principal’s wife or husband lead protest to the gateman at the school as the person to be blamed? This is funny indeed, the First Lady should grow to be the mother of the country and not to be seen doing things that can best be seen as unpresidential and capable of causing unnecessary confusion in the land at a time that the country desires for leadership from her husband,” the statement said.
Jonathan Meets Gov Shettima, Others
President Goodluck Jonathan yesterday held a meeting with the Borno State governor and other officials of the state government at the presidential villa to try and reconcile the different figures of the abducted girls currently being bandied around.
Those at the meeting included the governor of Borno, Alhaji Kashim Shettima; the Borno State commissioner for education, Hon. Musa Inuwa Kubo and the principal of the Government Secondary School, Chibok, Mrs Asabe Kwambura where over 200 girls were abducted from the school 20 days ago.
The meeting was to afford the president the opportunity to hear in details the events surrounding the abduction of the girls, the security arrangement in place prior to the abduction, and the current situation of both the parents of the abducted girls and the girls that have so far escaped.
The commissioner of education and the principal of the school were said to have present to the president the pictures and names of all girls that are still missing and those that have escaped.
LEADERSHIP Sunday gathered from one of the elders of Chibok that the real number of the girls still missing is 223. He said 276 were abducted, while 53 managed to escape at different times. This variation in figures, LEADERSHIP Sunday gathered, was the main reason for yesterday’s meeting at the villa so that the real figure of those that were abducted, those still missing and those that are free could be fully settled.
Because of this, LEADERSHIP Sunday gathered, the parents of the missing girls were asked to come to the school with pictures of their wards. It was however found that only 183 parents bothered to provide the pictures as some said the school authorities, the state government and the security agencies have not shown any evidence to them that they are really looking for their daughters.
Some of the parents had told LEADERSHIP Sunday that they have been kept in the dark regarding efforts being made by security agencies to get their girls back. Some said they have resorted to going to Maiduguri to see the GOC or the state government in search of information.
One of them confided in LEADERSHIP Sunday, “We keep hearing different and conflicting stories about our abducted girls, but nobody has deemed it fit to gather us and update us on what is happening. To be sincere to you, we have lost all hope regarding any effort that the authority could be doing toward getting our girls back.
“This is about 20 days now that our girls have been abducted; nobody has given us concrete information on exactly what is happening or the progress that has been made. Sometimes we even get the news from foreign media while our own officials keep us in the dark.”
He also debunked the story credited to the minister of interior, Comrade Abba Moro, that four more girls had escaped and been found in Konduga. ”When we heard the story, we rushed to Konduga but didn’t see any girl. We even checked the hospital there and found nothing. So if he said four more girls had escaped, then we want him to know that we are yet to see them,” he said.
First Lady to lead protest march to Chibok
In a bid to rescue the abducted 234 girls, the first lady, Dame Patience Jonathan, has concluded plans to lead a protest march to the state governor, Kashim Shettima.
The decision was taken at a meeting convened by Mrs Jonathan which was well attended by spouses of state governors, female legislators at both federal and state levels as well as leaders of the various women organisations that converged on Abuja.
At the meeting, Dame Patience set up a six-member committee chaired by wife of Borno State governor Hajiya Nana Shettima to conduct more investigations into the controversy surrounding the abduction of the schoolgirls and report back to her at an enlarged meeting.
Mrs Jonathan’s position at the meeting was that the women of Nigeria were determined to get to the root of the matter, media assistant to the first lady Mr Ayo Adewuyi noted in a statement. The committee, he said, is to invite key persons related to the abducted girls “to shed light on the controversies surrounding the abduction saga today, after which the women may undertake a march to Governor Kashim Shettima of Borno State”.
The Borno State commissioner of women affairs, Hajiya Inna Galadima, who represented Hajiya Shettima, also told the meeting that 53 girls were currently in the custody of the state government.
She was also bombarded with a myriad of questions by the women as to how many students slept in the hostel that night of the abduction, why only the girls were kidnapped, why the principal withdrew after giving information that soldiers rescued some of the girls, and whether it was true that the girls were being married out as reported.

GAITHERSBURG, Md. (WDVM) — South Lake Elementary School in Gaithersburg is one of Montgomery County’s largest elementary schools. Described as overcrowded, and simply appalling, for the past five years, community members have complained to the school board and county officials about its unacceptable conditions.
Nearly 900 students fill the building originally meant for 694. However, overcrowding isn’t the only issue, as there have also been reports of collapsing ceilings, overheating, air quality and HVAC malfunctions, lack of ADA compliance, and even a rodent problem.
South Lake was included in the county’s Capital Improvements Program for fiscal years 2021-2026. Recently, the Montgomery County Board of Education voted to move up the new construction project timeline to 2023.
The program calls for a complete teardown of the existing school board members say is long overdue.
“The South Lake community has waited years and years to be prioritized by the school system, the board, and the county council,” said board member, Brenda Wolff. “They’ve seen new schools go up in other communities, additions, modernization’s, and they’ve waited their turn. I want them to know, that we hear them. “

One of the major strengths of the Windows Phone 7 platform has been gaming and in particular the integration with Xbox LIVE. Over the months since the platform launched there have been more and more top titles released, each bringing the validation of a big name gaming franchise to Windows Phone as well as a few unlockable achievements in Xbox LIVE, and this has helped generate some much needed buzz for Microsoft’s new mobile operating system.
Things are set to change shortly, however, as Windows Phone embarks on its first major update to the Mango release (dubbed Windows Phone 7.5). With this update a whole host of new features are coming, such as the release of homebrew gaming titles through Xbox LIVE Indie Games, even more top gaming titles and best of all, there are even plans for LIVE gaming to move to other platforms, namely Android.
Of course, whether this wider selection of games and ways to play them will alter the contentious pricing structure applied to Xbox LIVE titles is another matter entirely…
Why Mango Is Needed
“Windows Phone Mango” as many are calling the second generation of Windows Phone 7 is a massive update brimming with new features and functions that should finally align the platform with iPhone and Android devices. If you ever thought that there was anything missing from the initial release or the NoDo copy and paste update from early 2011, the chances are that the Mango update will quell any fears you might have had over the quality of Windows Phone 7.
With Mango comes a variety of new APIs for developers to use, something that will allow a whole new generation of apps to become available for the platform (something that includes a new native Windows Live Messenger as well as a strong possibility of Skype) with functions that simply wouldn’t work on the first generation of devices.
This is where the updates to Xbox LIVE come in – as things stand they won’t be possible under the original release or the NoDo update.
Anyone with a Windows Phone will know that gaming comes in two flavors. You can choose between Xbox LIVE titles from the Marketplace and pay a little bit more for the privilege of being able to add to your Xbox LIVE Gamerscore, or you can stick to the games that don’t require Xbox LIVE.
“Non-Live” games is a section of Windows Phone that Microsoft is nevertheless hoping will continue to grow, and an increasing number of quality games have been appearing under that category recently, with titles such as Penguin, Tumbler and Chess4All proving adequate substitutes for the more expensive Xbox LIVE titles (the latter also featuring online play). After all, there is little compulsion to sign up to Xbox LIVE at present if you don’t already own an Xbox console.
Of course, this is something that Microsoft is already aware of, and with the Mango version of Windows Phone Xbox LIVE gaming will have a reduced requirement for access to an Xbox 360.
Xbox LIVE Updates!
One of the most exciting updates to come with Windows Phone Mango is the new set of functions that will make Xbox LIVE gaming on a WP7 handset possibly the most impressive mobile phone gaming experience around.
Among the new features that will be coming to Xbox LIVE on Windows Phone are Avatar Awardables, wearable achievements for Xbox LIVE avatars. While these can currently be edited with the Xbox LIVE Extras app, this new feature should allow gamers to spend a bit more time with their avatars.
You’ll also find Game Add-ons, in-game purchases for additional downloadable content such as extra items and new levels, Parental Controls to limit the reach of young eyes on Xbox LIVE (thanks to the release of Splinter Cell: Conviction in late 2011) and most excitingly, Fast Async that will offer an improved multiplayer experience!
Amazingly, there is even more coming to gaming on Windows Phone 7 in the coming months as indie gaming makes the move from the console to the mobile platform.
XLIG: Xbox LIVE Indie Games
While there are many big name games available for Xbox 360, there is also a huge selection of independent titles available via the Xbox LIVE service, and some of these are soon to hit Windows Phone 7.
Xbox LIVE Indie Games (or XLIG) are currently unavailable on Windows Phone 7 simply because Microsoft has preferred to focus on big name titles from established publishers such as EA. Recognizing XLIG titles as being suitable for Windows Phone is a smart move, however, and in the first few months gamers will be able to play as a quick-paced robot in T.E.C. 3001, a cat-warrior in KamiCats or enjoy a traditional RPG in the shape of Doom & Destiny.
Release dates for these titles are yet to be confirmed, but the presence of Xbox LIVE indie games on Windows Phone is a sure sign of the platform’s continued development.
The Cost of Windows Phone Games
As you can see, there are plenty of changes coming to gaming on Windows Phone 7 over the coming months, largely thanks to the Mango update.
Once thing that doesn’t look set to change, however, is the pricing structure. While some top titles might occasionally be reduced for “Game of the Week” promotions, there are few titles that can be favorably compared price-wise to their iPhone or Android versions. Microsoft’s release of Minesweeper and Sudoko as free Xbox LIVE titles over the next few weeks is a drop in the ocean compared with the cries of many users who simply want pricing parity rather than being penalized for using Xbox LIVE on their Windows Phones.
Shaping the Future of Mobile Gaming
A quick look around the current state of console and mobile gaming reveals that things aren’t going quite as the leading names might have hoped. While Apple continues to offer iOS as a gaming platform, the wider features and integration that Windows Phone can offer with Xbox LIVE are missing.
Most importantly, however, 2011 has not been a good year for Sony. With the PlayStation Network taken offline and consumer reaction to the PlayStation Phone surprisingly muted, Microsoft is in an increasingly strong position.
Can they push Xbox LIVE on both Windows Phone and Xbox 360 (and later 720) into the next playing field? Does Apple need a comparable platform to prevent users leaving iPhone in favor of gaming integration elsewhere?
The answer to both of these questions is “yes” - but time will tell…

1,189 new people have tested positive for the new coronavirus (Covid-19), confirmed the FPS Public Health during a press conference on Wednesday.
688 of the newly-infected people live in Flanders, 349 live in Wallonia, and 128 live in Brussels. The FPS does not yet have further information on the place of residence of 24 other people. The total number of cases in Belgium, since the beginning of the pandemic, is 13,964.
The total number of people admitted to hospital because of the coronavirus at the moment is 4,995. “This is an increase of 560 patients in one day,” said professor Steven Van Gucht. Of those patients, 1,088 are in the intensive care unit.
However, 436 new people have also recovered and been discharged from the hospital in the last 24 hours. "That is a record," said Van Gucht.
123 new deaths have been reported, 56 of which occurred in Flanders, 43 in Wallonia, and 24 in Brussels. The total number of deaths in Belgium since the beginning of the pandemic is currently 828. "Still, 93% of these people were over 65 years old," he added.

- Europe's coronavirus death toll tops 30,000
- Coronavirus: hundreds of ventilators arrive in Belgium
"We want to address something we have heard from several doctors, mostly GPs. People seem to be afraid to contact their GP with their complaints, even if they are not coronavirus-related," said Van Gucht. "However, people who do not feel well should contact their doctors. They can give advice, or determine what the problem is. The hospitals, too, are organised in such a way that 'regular' patients do not come into contact with patients with coronavirus," he added.
The FPS Public Health also took the time to clarify a rumour circulating on social media. "People are posting about how they have stayed in isolation for two weeks and feel healthy, and now think they can go out again to meet friends and family. This is very much not true," Van Gucht stressed.
"We have tried to divide the society into small groups, with the intention that contact between them is minimised. If we start meeting family and friends again now, we start building bridges between them, giving the virus free reign again," he added.
"The measures are not pleasant for anybody, but they have one clear and common goal," said Yves Stevens, a spokesperson for the National Crisis Centre. "The majority of people respects the measures, and we want to thank everyone for that," he added.
"The number of deaths keeps increasing. The death toll is high, and every deadly victim is one too many. We would like to express our support, and we realise that the families and friends affected will have to say their goodbyes and mourn in very difficult circumstances," Stevens added.
"We must continue to take this situation seriously. The health care workers are doing everything they can to help, and we cannot thank them enough. Stay at home, and help as much as you can," he added.
Update: The number of patients confirmed with the new coronavirus (Covid-19) in Belgium is 15,348, as of Thursday 2 April. Read more about it here.

After having endured thirteen insufferable years of mental, emotional, and physical humiliation at the hands of the relentless Quraish in Makkah, Allah sanctioned retaliation for the Muslims in Surah Al-Baqarah soon after their migration to Madinah. This was an allowance that paved the way for a series of battles fought between the forces of truth and falsehood. The Battle of Badr was the first battle between the Muslims and disbelievers.
Muhammed ﷺ warned his followers that the Makkans were sending their finest sons before Badr, the first-ever skirmish. However, time would prove that Islam’s very own handful of distinguished personalities from among the Muhajirin and Ansar would ferociously take on the Quraish notables, aided by divine intervention. Indeed, Badr was a turning point in the Prophet’s ﷺ mission.
Build up to the battle
After the migration to Madinah, the Quraish stepped up their persecution of the Muslims in Makkah. They also intensified in their enmity towards Islam. They would send threats to the believers, and eventually, Allah permitted the believers to take up arms against the disbelievers. Some minor expeditions followed, and the believers started focusing on seizing some of the Quraishite caravans. By doing so, they could economically pressurize the Quraishites to stop persecuting and hounding Muslims.
A caravan of the Quraish led by Abu Sufyan had evaded the Muslims as it headed for Syria. The Muslims awaited its return, and some of their scouts witnessed the caravan going by and alerted the Prophet (PBUH) about the caravan and how big it was. If the Muslims managed to capture the caravan, it would have a massive effect on the Makkan economy. If the believers succeeded in intercepting their caravans, it would stun the Meccans. The plan was to intercept the Quraishite caravan when it stopped at the wells of Badr.
Abu Sufyan got wind of the Muslims’ plan. He sent a message to Makkah, asking for an army to take on the believers. The Makkans realized the urgency of the situation and the importance of the caravan’s safety. They hurriedly gathered an army with as much strength as they could muster and set out to tackle the Muslims. As the army of approximately 1,000 men approached Badr, people informed them that Abu Sufyan had safely avoided the Muslims by taking a different route.
Despite this turn of events, the disbelievers decided to advance to Badr to punish the Muslims. They wished to prevent them from attacking any more caravans. When the Muslims realized this, they knew that they had to respond with courage and make a bold decision.
The believers prepare for the Battle of Badr
The Muslims understood that they had to face the army of disbelievers, or the Makkans would continue being hostile. This might even embolden them to attack Madinah. The Prophet (PBUH) did not decide on the Muslims’ decision regarding the battle without consulting others. On the contrary, he held meetings to come to a decision.
Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) did not wish to lead the believers into a battle without their agreeing to it, particularly the Helpers (Ansar) of Madinah. The Ansar comprised most of the Muslims’ forces, and the Pledge of Aqaba did not oblige them to fight at Badr, as it was not their territory.
Saad ibn Muaadh affirmed that the Ansar would support the Prophet (PBUH) and Islam. He said that they would dive into the sea if the Prophet (PBUH) asked them to do so. He also assured the Prophet (PBUH) that they did not oppose fighting the Quraish. Additionally, he spoke of their experience when it came to wars and their reliability when it came to combat. Sad asked the Prophet (PBUH) to lead them to the battleground in Allah’s Name. Hence, the Emigrants and Helpers were devoted to the cause of Islam.
The disbelievers had an army of some 1000 men. However, the Muslim forces that set out for Badr had just over 300 men in their ranks. For transport, the believers only had 70 camels and three horses. Therefore, they had to take turns to ride the animals. Ahead of the commencement of the battle, the Prophet (PBUH) prayed and supplicated throughout the night.
The events of the battle
The date on which the Battle of Badr took place was the 17th of Ramadan, in 624 CE, which was the second year of the Hijrah.
The battle started with individual duels, in line with Arab customs. The Muslims had the upper hand during these individual duels, killing some prominent members of the Quraish. The Quraish furiously charged at the Muslims to wipe them out.
The Muslims kept their cool, maintaining their defensive position as per their strategy. Their composed approach led to their enemies suffering substantial casualties. The Prophet (PBUH) earnestly implored Allah, and Allah revealed that He would assist the believers with a thousand angels, as we see in Surah Al-Anfal. Upon learning of Allah’s support, the Prophet (PBUH) instructed the believers to go on the offensive.
The Muslims attacked the Makkans and inflicted severe casualties. The believers overcame the Quraish despite their superiority in numbers, by their bravery, persistence, and unwavering faith. They had no choice but to run for their lives and thus fled the battlefield. Only some disbelievers remained. One of those who remained on the battlefield was Abu Jahl, the ultimate foe of Islam and Muslims. The Muslims took the life of this wretched opponent of Allah, and the Muslims, in spite of having less than half as many men as the Makkans in their ranks, emphatically defeated the disbelievers.
Although the Battle of Badr was one with significant implications for both parties, the number of deaths that occurred in the battle was only 70-80. The disbelievers were left licking their wounds, astounded by the unexpected outcome of their attack on the thoroughly outnumbered Muslims. The Muslims showed that they were a force to be reckoned with and Islam went from strength to strength, attracting plenty of new converts in Madinah.
The believers who took part in the Battle of Badr are very highly regarded in Islam. When one of the Sahabah sinned by informing the Quraish that the Prophet (PBUH) and the army of the believers were coming in the year of the conquest of Makkah, Umar wanted to kill him. However, the Prophet (PBUH) protected him, saying that he had been a part of the Battle of Badr, and Allah might have forgiven the people who participated in the Battle of Badr.
Furthermore, Allah admonished the Prophet (PBUH) for his decision concerning the prisoners of war from the Battle of Badr. The Prophet (PBUH) liked Abu Bakr’s suggestion to take ransom for them, whereas Umar wanted them executed. Allah sent revelation favoring Umar’s view and opposing the practice the Prophet (PBUH) adopted in this regard, as it was not befitting to take ransom for the prisoners until a severe slaughter of the disbelievers had been carried out.
There is no doubt that the Badr triumph brought immense joy, prosperity, and strength to the growing Muslim Ummah at the time, while at the same time, it bolstered the security of the Islamic state of Madinah. It taught Muslims the power of prayer, faith, complete reliance on Allah (SWT), and showed them the glorious beauty of martyrdom.

Afghanistan embarrass India's Gen Next by 28 runs in Singapore
- PDP, BJP seal alliance to form government in Jammu & Kashmir
- RK Pachauri, accused of sexual harassment, quits UN climate change panel
- Centre's land bill is anti-farmer, says Kejriwal at Anna protest rally
- SpiceJet launches low-fare offer for Holi; one lakh seats on the block
- BJP defends Bhagwat, claims Mother Teresa admitted she was not a social worker
For the first time in their short cricketing history, Afghanistan had recorded a win over a Test-playing nation, albeit an age-group side of it, in any format.
The fact that Afghanistan was allowed to enter their main side for the tournament while the Indians obeyed the age restriction was a footnote in fine print that in no way took away the shine from this emerging Asian cricketing nation.
The hero of the day for the Afghanistan was their skipper Mohammad Nabi, who scored 25 runs with the bat and finished with figures of 3/32 in a low scoring game. Batting first, Afghanistan scored 184 with Samiullah Shenwari scoring 43 off 44 balls. In reply, the Indians succumbed to Nabi's off-spin. India were 156/9 at the end of 50 overs.
At the end of group games; India, Pakistan and Afghanistan all finished with four points. But Afghanistan's poor run rate got them eliminated.
Speaking to The Indian Express after the win, Nabi said, "For us it is a big win, beating India can only be a moral booster." Though, there were no international players in the Indian side, Nabi and his men were in awe of their young rivals. With most of the India under-23 players playing in the Indian Premier League, the Afghanistan players had seen them on television and thus were keen to match their skills against them.
"We all have watched them play for their franchise team. Everybody knows and has seen players like Unmukt Chand. IPL is very popular in our country. A win against these boys has helped to assess our potential," added Nabi.
Deep inside, each member of the Afghanistan team was proud of the upset they had caused. But few celebrated the result as they had, after all, been knocked out of the tournament.
Team Afghanistan mainly plays against fellow associate nations. But Nabi feels that more Test-playing nations should add them to their respective international itineraries in order to give a developing country a helping hand. And of course, exposure.
"The next time we play a big Test nation will be in December when we play Pakistan," says Nabi, pointing out just how few and far between his side's chances are of playing elite teams. Apparently, Nabi's board has also approached the BCCI and requested them to send the Indian team across the Khyber. "India can travel to Zimbabwe to play five ODI series. So why can't they come to Afghanistan? We are neighbours, we hope India will help us with our cricket," he says.
Before he bid goodbye, Nabi also floated a request to the IPL owners. "We have bowlers, who can bowl 140 plus mph. We have good spinners and fantastic fielders. I don't see why our guys can't get opportunity to play in a tournament like the IPL," he said before cheekily adding: "Glenn Maxwell got for one million at the IPL auction. For that much amount, you could buy at least eight to nine of our players."
Brief Scores: Afg 184/7 in 50 overs; (S Shenwari 43 n.o., M Shahzad 38; B Aparajith 2/16, A Patel 2/33) bt Ind 156/9 in 50 overs; (L Rahul 51; M Nabi 3/32, R Shah 2/40).

Tehran, Iran – A military prosecutor says indictments have been brought against “10 of the officials who had a role” in the deadly downing of a Ukraine International flight over Tehran last year.
In a ceremony on Tuesday to introduce his successor, Gholam Abbas Torki said the individuals – whom he did not name or otherwise identify – will head to court soon, though he also did not provide a timeframe.
Keep readinglist of 3 items
Torki said in January 2020, shortly after Flight PS752 was downed by two missiles fired from an Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) air battery, that 10 individuals had been subject to disciplinary action including dismissals or demotions, and will soon go on trial.
On Tuesday, Shokrollah Bahrami, head of the Iranian armed forces’ judicial organisation, confirmed that the military court is done with the case and indictments were signed.
“Inshallah, the case will be followed up in court in the new year,” he said, referring to the Iranian new year that began on March 21.
Flight PS752 was shot down roughly six minutes after takeoff from Tehran’s Imam Khomeini International Airport, killing all 176 people on board, in what Iran has said was the result of a tragic “human error”.
Four hours before, the IRGC fired a volley of missiles at two US bases in neighbouring Iraq in retaliation for the assassination of its top general Qassem Soleimani in a drone strike ordered by then-US President Donald Trump.
Iran’s final technical report on the downing of the flight, published last month, said a TOR M-1 surface-to-air missile defence system near the airport had not been recalibrated after being moved shortly before the incident, so it mistook the plane for a “hostile object”.
The report also said all flights to Iraq and all flights scheduled to fly over the western parts of the country had been cancelled, but the risk of misidentification of commercial flights, and flights out of Imam Khomeini airport, was deemed to be low.
“Ultimately, it can be concluded that the evaluated risk was not proportionate to existing realities and an error that was not calculated in predictions beforehand took place,” the report by the Civil Aviation Organisation of Iran said.
Ukraine and Canada, which counted many of its citizens among the deceased, harshly condemned the report with the former calling it a “cynical attempt to hide the true reasons for the downing of our plane”.
Iran’s government in January set a compensation of $150,000 for each of the families of the 176 victims.
