Marian Wright, then the young director of the NAACP Legal Defense & Education Fund in Jackson, Miss., made a suggestion to the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. regarding a drive for jobs and justice. Later, during a staff retreat of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference in November 1967, King announced the Poor People’s Campaign as “middle ground between riots on the one hand and timid supplications for justice on the other,” according to documents in The Martin Luther King Jr. Research & Education Institute at Stanford University.
Having largely won the war for black America’s civil rights, King looked to advancing economic equality as his next, logical challenge. Plans were well under way for the Poor People’s March on Washington by spring. King had reportedly wept at the sight of barefoot children when he visited Marks, Miss., in March 1968. This small, rural community had the dubious distinction of being America’s poorest town, in the poorest county (Quitman) of the poorest state in America.
“King wanted the Poor People’s Campaign to begin at the end of the world, in Marks, Miss. So, it did,” writes Hilliard Lawrence Lackey in his 2014 book, “Marks, Martin and the Mule Train.” Lackey is a history professor at Jackson State University.
But first King and his SCLC had to sell this movement to the masses. The public simply wasn’t in the market for an examination of poverty, despite a reported 35 million Americans (17.6 percent of the nation) living in families with total incomes less than $4,000 annually. A look at historical data shows the Dow Jones Industrial Average was at a record high of 7,795.30 in January 1966. But by October 1967, it had fallen more than 1,200 points to 6,579.58, where it would languish for much of the next year.
The campaign’s tenets were simple:
Feed the hungry
Hire the jobless
Care for the sick
Protect welfare rights
Respect poor people
“We can now see ourselves as the powerless poor trapped within an economically-oriented power structure,” reads SCLC prose from its April 4, 1969, Soul Force newspaper. “We are those men and women with certain inalienable rights, but without the means to express them.” The Southern Christian Leadership Conference noted it stands with “the nation’s poor and disinherited.”
Original SCLC planning materials in the Amistad Research Center archives illustrate the depth of planning and organizing it took to undertake – and pull off - such an endeavor.
“The SCLC ideal is of moving the entire town of Marks, Miss., to Washington. The justification of this move would be to dramatize the conditions of the town,” reads a March 27, 1968, letter from Miss Tut Tate, acting secretary of the Grenada, Miss., SCLC chapter. The letter is housed in Amistad’s Fannie Lou Hamer Papers. “There should be some interpretation of the march for black Mississippians.”
SCLC planning began after King’s announcement at the November retreat. By December 1967, SCLC staff was organizing, recruiting and contacting various support groups. This coalition of the poor included blacks, poor whites, Mexican-Americans, Puerto Ricans and American Indians. However, all people with a yen for justice were invited to participate. In preparation for the inevitable confrontations that would occur in public spaces, the Southern Christian Leadership Conference conducted workshops on the philosophy and practice of nonviolent action. The City of Hope shanty town was planned as a place for poor people to sleep, eat and receive education and cultural programming.
The scheduled May 30, 1968, March on Washington sought “massive student participation” in “the real work of nonviolent revolution.
“We need tens of thousands of people to pledge to remain in Washington until Congress meets our demands,” reads one missive from SCLC’s campaign timetable in the Hamer Papers.
When the unthinkable happened on April 4, 1968, SCLC forged ahead heartbroken, yet resolute in the mission. The Rev. Ralph Abernathy, King’s best friend and co-founder, took the reigns. According to SCLC staff-only preparation documents, the campaign would begin on April 29 in Memphis, at the spot where the Rev. King had been assassinated just three and a half weeks earlier. The massive March on Washington from all points of the nation was set for May 30.
According to the James Hargett Papers, initial overwhelming rejection of the march turned to receptivity only after King was assassinated. King had been supporting a sanitation workers strike in Memphis while finalizing preparations for Poor People’s Campaign. Americans were, undoubtedly, finally ready to look at “the reality of poverty in our midst,” the Rev. Hargett, a community activist and civil rights advocate, wrote.
“Poor people have been denied power, and that is why they are poor,” SCLC staff-only pre-march preparation document.
The Southern Christian Leadership Conference was founded in 1957 after the Montgomery Bus Boycott of 1955-56. That boycott was led by Martin Luther King, president, and Abernathy, its vice president and treasurer. The Atlanta-based group was known for its aggressive nonviolent action.
“Part of the routine of America is oppression of poor people. When people understand this, they will also understand why we are going to Washington to demand the basic right to a decent life,” reads an SCLC march preparation document marked “Staff Only.”
“Our society should stop cheating and insulting people who are forced to live on small welfare checks. We are against a capitalistic system where poor people – especially Black people and other minority groups – do not have money for capital and are prevented from getting it... It does not allow poor people to control their own lives.”
A fact sheet titled “The Poor People’s Campaign & You” used sobering statistics to illustrate the poverty problem: 3 million unemployed and nearly 6 million Americans forced to live in substandard homes in the wealthiest nation on earth; the poorest Americans are the 35 million who do not have enough money for a decent life; yet, America spends ten times as much on military power as it does on welfare, earmarking $30 billion a year on the Vietnam War and billions on nuclear research and putting a man on the moon.
The tired, the poor and the dispossessed traveled from all points to the National Mall in Washington, D.C. One report in the archives details the nearly-three-week odyssey of one church group because its bus had broken down so many times. From Marks, Miss., the 1,000-mile journey took one month for a caravan of 28 wagons, pulled by 56 mules, according to Lackey, the Jackson State historian. The Marks Mule Train was a centerpiece of the Poor People’s Campaign, especially when it arrived on Juneteenth 1968, parading down Pennsylvania Avenue.
“Which is better? Send man to moon or feed him on Earth?”, “Stop the war and feed the poor” and “I have a dream!” read some of the signage affixed to the Mule Train’s wagons.
“In A Land of Plenty, Why Are We Poor?” read one protestor’s sign
The game plan was to make the invisible visible, and at the seat of power in Washington, D.C., “where America had to look at the shame of poverty,” Abernathy later said. With an estimated 10 million Americans starving or malnourished, the PPC’s 51st State of Hunger delegation made the rounds on Capitol Hill and to both major national party conventions.
On Mother’s Day, May 12, 1968, Coretta Scott King kicked off the march by leading thousands of women in the first wave of demonstrators. The next day Resurrection City, a temporary settlement of tents and shacks, was built by participants who would live there during the action. Midway through the campaign, however, Sen. Robert F. Kennedy (D-NY) was assassinated in Los Angeles while campaigning for his party’s presidential nomination. Ethel Kennedy, his wife, had attended the Mother’s Day opening of Resurrection City. Out of respect for the Poor People’s Campaign, Kennedy’s funeral procession passed through the encampment.
Over six weeks an estimated 2,500 mostly-poor and underserved men, women and children lived on 16 acres of flood-prone land, which was frequently ankle-deep in mud, in barracks-style quarters near the Lincoln Memorial. Essentially, camping out in D.C.’s steamy late-spring temperatures. Hosea Williams, who was in charge of the campaign’s direct action program, reportedly drew loud applause when he said “everybody is running around worried about Resurrection City when many of the people here are living better than they ever lived in their lives,” according to New York Times reporter Earl Caldwell on June 3, 1968.
During the day, Abernathy and other SCLC leaders took Resurrection City residents to visit congressional and other federal government offices to advocate for “at least jobs or income for all.”
“The poor man is the one-dimensional man, the man who cannot choose the work most suited to his character and ability, the man who cannot feel the pleasure of supporting his family,” wrote the SCLC in the campaign’s Statement of Purpose in 1968.
By the time Resurrection City was shut down, on June 24, 1968, the Poor People’s Campaign had succeeded in mostly trivial ways, due to congressional inaction on the campaign’s demands. According to the King Research & Education Institute, 200 counties were qualified for free surplus food distribution and several federal agencies promised to hire the poor to help run aid programs. Abernathy felt these concessions were insufficient.
The campaign’s unmet demands included a massive job and job-training program; a guaranteed income for those unable to work; national welfare rights and standards; enforcement of civil rights laws; bargaining rights for farm workers; Indian rights on and off of reservations; land reform; expansion of the poverty program and return of its control to poor people; greater housing expenditures for the poor; special education programs; decent health care for all; free food stamps (people with no money can’t buy the stamps); and an end to racism in farm programs.
The Department of the Interior forced closure of Resurrection City after the Southern Christian Leadership Conference’s park permit had expired. Questions also arose about whether the $5,000 bond the group had earlier posted to use the park would be adequate for the expense of the massive project.
Still, the encampment was cleared of all occupants in less than 90 minutes, according to a New York Times article the next day. Shortly before that, however, Abernathy and 223 marchers from Resurrection City were arrested during a “mild-mannered act of civil disobedience” at the foot of Capitol Hill. The front-page report noted that 119 others were arrested at Resurrection City when the campsite closed at 10:40 a.m. The charge: “Camping without a permit.”
That night, Mayor Walter Washington declared a State of Emergency and issued a 9 p.m. to 5:30 a.m. curfew, due to disturbances in the city. Nevertheless, “a feeling of good riddance was shared by leaders of the campaign and the police,” Joseph Loftus reported in a second Times article on June 25, 1968.
“Resurrection City achieved symbolic status but had become unmanageable as a practical venture,” Loftus wrote. It is unclear if a move to preserve the huts and ship them to 40 large cities to stand as symbols of the ’68 campaign ever came to fruition.
“We came as builders...To demonstrate that we, too, could dream,” one unidentified young man said in “This Was Resurrection City,” a post-march commemorative booklet.

MILEY Cyrus went topless for Rolling Stone magazine as she graced the cover for the outlet's latest issue.
This comes as the singer revealed that she "fell off" during the pandemic, however, she's been "in and out of sobriety."
The 28-year-old appears on the cover as she covers her breasts with both of her hands and shows off all of her jewerly.
Miley, in bright red lipstick, poses while putting her short blonde cut on display. Her dreamcatcher tattoo can be seen on her ribs as well.
In another photo for the shoot, the performer is now clothe, but lying on the bed and talking on the phone while holding the same expression from the magazine's cover.
The head-turning photos come just a few days after Miley confessed that she's had an up-and-down battle with her sobriety.
She told Zane Lowe for Apple Music's New Music Daily: "Well, I, like a lot of people, being completely honest, during the pandemic fell off.
"I would never sit here and go, 'I've been f---ing sober.' I didn't, and I fell off and I realized that I now am back on sobriety, two weeks sober, and I feel like I really accepted that time.
"To me, it was a f--k up because I'm not a moderation person, and I don't think that everyone has to be f---ing sober."
She continued, per People: "I think everyone has to do what is best for them. I don't have a problem with drinking.
"I've just been wanting to wake up 100 percent, 100 percent of the time."
Miley added: "I'm very disciplined. That's why it's never easy, but it's pretty easy for me to be sober or in and out of sobriety because it's like the day I don't want to f---ing do it anymore, I don't.
"The day that I do, I do. You know? But when I don't want to it just is. I'm just very disciplined."
Back in June, the entertainer told her fans: "I’ve been sober sober for the past six months. At the beginning, it was just about this vocal surgery.
"But I had been thinking a lot about my mother. My mom was adopted, and I inherited some of the feelings she had, the abandonment feelings and wanting to prove that you’re wanted and valuable.
"I did a lot of family history research, which has a lot of addiction and mental health challenges."
She added: "So just going through that and asking, 'Why am I the way that I am?' By understanding the past, we understand the present and the future much more clearly. I think therapy is great."

She explained: “I had a very public, very big breakup that was a 10-year span of a relationship.
“I tried not to get lost in the emotion … It’s like a death when you lose a loved one, it’s that deep.”
While Miley has been dealing with their own issues, her younger sister, Noah, as as well as she recently apologized for using a racist slur.

New BP rate means 1 in 3 has hypertension
AHA recommends new cut-off rate as 130/80 instead of 140/90
Overnight, Singapore will have one in three people suffering from high blood pressure instead of one in four - if it adopts a new cut-off rate recommended by the American Heart Association (AHA).
But the vast majority of these newly diagnosed hypertensives, classified as "high blood pressure stage 1", will need to make only lifestyle changes to reduce their risk of getting heart attacks and stroke.
The stricter rate recommended by the AHA is 130/80 versus the existing 140/90.
It is based on solid evidence, said Professor Tan Huay Cheem, director of the National University Heart Centre, "so there's no reason to reject these recommendations".
But he added: "We should still treat patients with stage 1 hypertension with lifestyle changes and start drug treatment only if he has multiple other risk factors (for example, diabetes mellitus)".
Prof Tan also said the 130/80 cut-off is for at least two readings done at home. The cut-off at clinics stays at 140/90 as anxiety tends to raise a person's blood pressure, he said.
Dr Chee Tek Siong, a cardiologist in private practice and a board member of the Singapore Heart Foundation, shares Prof Tan's view and said treatment would be given to high-risk patients.
These people have issues such as diabetes, high cholesterol, obstructive sleep apnea or kidney failure.
The AHA estimates that only one in five of the stage 1 hypertensives might need medication to reduce their blood pressure. The rest should be given advice to make lifestyle changes and have their blood pressure checked after three to six months, he added.
Lifestyle changes include reducing salt in one's diet and eating more potassium-rich foods such as banana, potato, avocado and dark leafy vegetables, exercising more, drinking less alcohol and not smoking.
Dr Paul Chiam, a cardiologist at Mount Elizabeth Novena Hospital, highlighted the need for people to know the importance of strict blood pressure control "as we know that better BP (blood pressure) control does lead to fewer strokes, heart and kidney disease".
Dr Daniel Yeo, a cardiologist at Gleneagles Hospital, noted that Canada and Australia adopted the stricter cut-off last year, so the AHA's move was no surprise.

Tulsa bail bondsman
When you find yourself accused of committing crime, being arrested and a bit of time in prison could be a very difficult experience. Luckily, since people in the us are innocent until proven guilty, in vast majority of cases, judges allow the accused persons to be released until the trial starts. But, generally in most of the cases, the judge requires some type of guarantee that you will show up in a legal court. The security that they are seeking is termed bail bond. Tulsa Bail Bonds, just like bail bonds in the other cities in Oklahoma could be paid in cash or by making use of debit or credit cards.
The bail money utilized to vouch the accused can look essential will probably be returned towards the person who gave them when the court happens using a judgment. The judge can invariably make another decision (after or before the court’s judgment). Should the bail cash is not received, the depositors get bail information letters. The co-signer of the bond accounts for the payment. It's good to mention these bonds go on for twelve months and whenever true remains to be with the court, the judge ask for additional premium. Should there be some extra expenses that came as a result of certain transactions like travel, calls, postal fees, it really is co-signers duty to pay for the bail agent.
It can be interesting to cover that prior to American independence, the British bail laws were applied to courts in the united states. Beginning with 1776, the courts started practicing new bail laws. Quite simply bail bonds have long history in America.
There are not many several types of bails - surety bail, cash bail, signature bail and recognizable bail. Surety bail is a kind of bail which is provided by surety the person who obliged to cover the credit will pay the amount to the bank or investor. So, bail bonds in cases like this are offering to you maximum security towards the investor. If your individual that guaranteed payment doesn’t pay by the due date, the surety should spend the money for premium and interest.
Cash bail is self-explanatory. The defendant pays specific amount of income straight to a legal court so that you can b released from custody. In most cases the bail is accepted only within the when the crime is not really punishable. Once the trial has ended the defendant gets back the amount of money. Signature bail is probably the most regularly used bail bonds Tulsa options. When the defendant agrees with a signature bond, they're going to must pay the bail amount as long as they neglect to appear in court.
In situations where signature bonds are imposed, the accused individuals must find good bail bondsman that can help them. They or companies pledge property or money to ensure the existence of an offender in court. The average bail bondsman in Tulsa wants a cost that is equal to 10% with the bail. However, there are several experienced and established bond agents that supply lower fees (8% fees).
If you're looking to find the best Tulsa bail bonds options, be prepared to spend an afternoon doing research.

A Little Bit About Felix
"Hello, my name is Felix. I'm a very curious kitty and I love to spend my time observing humans. I'm interested in watching my people do anything from peeling a potato to washing your hands.
I have a magical power where I can open doors around the house to get to new rooms. I have a special technique where I put my paw under the door and I wave it around. Then the door opens. Each time I see a human on the other side so I think the human might also have something to do with it...
Despite only having 3 legs, I am an agile boy and I love playing with string. I am also very affectionate.
Anyway, contact the shelter on 8899 3333 or email firstname.lastname@example.org if you are interested in adopting me!" - Felix

My point and shoot camera died last week. It had been on it’s last legs for a short while after being dropped by my 4 year old. I had thought it would hang in a bit longer. But no. When it finally keeled over, it was very near my birthday so we decided to upgrade to a dSLR for my birthday gift! I had only used a point and shoot my entire life but I had been working on composition and learning how aperture affects depth of field for the time when I would be able to upgrade. Well that time came sooner than I thought it would.
So there I was with a new camera in hand and just days away from our annual homeschooling conference. I didn’t know how to use this new tool but I had to do something. I set it to auto-no flash and just started shooting. I tried out various situations to see what it could and couldn’t do. The results were surprisingly nice. The camera can take much better pictures indoors (no flash) than my old camera. That is a relief since most of my photos are snapshots of my kids playing inside. The auto setting on the camera is smarter than my old camera. It is adjusting for depth of field much better so I am getting some lovely in focus foreground and blurred background images without having to choose settings. While it is better, I still want to play with settings manually to see how far I can push it because I wold like it to go even farther. Finally, the camera is just fun to use. I feel like the photographer I want to be with this cool tool in my hands!
Here is what I accomplished with this tool so far. These photos are straight from the camera (except cropping out distractions on the two as noted).

Misty, if you attach a polarizing filter to the lens it will remove all glares from windows and glass refractions. I keep one on my lens just to protect it from scratches.
Thanks Bryon. I have a UV filter on, but the polarizing filter sounds like it would work better for me!

Our podcast reports on the latest Ghislaine Maxwell Prince Andrew News. Listen to The Prince and the Pervert here.
- Ghislaine Maxwell Prince Andrew are facing abuse claims due to their association with dead pedophile Jeffrey Epstein
- From Ghislaine posing on a Royal throne with Kevin Spacey to flying around the world on Jeffrey Epstein’s jets, the two were close friends for many years
- On the royal’s relationship with Epstein and Maxwell Prince Andrew said: “Remember that it was his girlfriend that was the key element in this. He (Epstein) was the, as it were, plus-one to some extent in that aspect.”
- Prince Andrew’s ex Sarah Ferguson once joked in an interview that he had “27 concubines.”
Ghislaine Maxwell Prince Andrew and Jeff Epstein: Prince Andrew, the Duke of York and second son of Queen Elizabeth II, is rarely out of the news due to his relationship with socialite Ghislaine Maxwell and dead pedophile Jeffrey Epstein.
Updated December 31 2021: Prince Andrew failed in another attempt to halt Virginia Giuffre’s sexual abuse lawsuit against him.
His attorneys filed a motion in New York federal court yesterday, which claimed that the US federal courts don’t have jurisdiction over her case because the Epstein whistleblower lives in Australia.
But Giuffre’s lawyer David Boies says that Prince Andrew is trying another delaying technique.
Giuffre filed the lawsuit in Manhattan federal court last year, claiming that she had been trafficked as an underage sex slave to Prince Andrew by billionaire Jeffrey Epstein.
She alleged had sex with the Duke of York at locations including Ghislaine Maxwell’s London home.
His attorneys have repeatedly asked the judge to throw out Giuffre’s claims on jurisdictional grounds.
Maxwell, who is accused of trafficking girls for Epstein, is facing trial in a US Court for sex trafficking. She is Prince Andrew’s long-term associate and they met many years ago in the elite circles of the UK aristocracy.
The Prince denies any impropriety but admits visiting Epstein in New York after he was released from a Florida jail in 2010. This photo makes it hard to say otherwise.
Ghislaine Maxwell Prince Andrew
Moreover, this saga has been going on for almost 20 years now, and it doesn’t seem to be stopping anytime soon.
Lawyers are using Hollywood tactics to defend Prince Andrew against claims he assaulted a ten sex slave.
“Andrew had a weakness for the girls and fast life, Epstein provided that fantasy,” remarked Epstein’s reputed mentor Stephen Hoffenberg, who said the pedophile and Prince Andrew’s friendship began much earlier than stated.
In early August 2021, Virginia Roberts Giuffre (who now lives in Australia) brought a lawsuit against the Duke of York, claiming he sexually abused her on multiple occasions.
The abuse was said to have taken place when she was 17 and involved the late, disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein, as well as jailed socialite Ghislaine Maxwell.

1. What allegedly happened to Virginia
2. The backfiring tactics being used by the Duke and his expensive teams of lawyers and public relations operatives

The emergence of the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) led to the outbreak of the coronavirus disease 19 (COVID-19) pandemic. As of September 30, 2021, over 233 million cases of COVID-19 have been reported, along with over 4.77 million deaths. In Turkey, over 7 million cases of COVID-19 have been reported, along with more than 63,000 cumulative deaths during the same period.

Rheumatic disease, treatments, and COVID-19
The common symptoms of SARS-CoV-2 infection include fever, shortness of breath, cough, myalgia, fatigue, sore throat, and loss of taste or smell. The clinical characteristics of COVID-19 are vast and can range from mild and asymptomatic cases to critical cases that can lead to multi-organ failure and death.
Initially, children were found to develop mild or asymptomatic courses of COVID-19. However, children suffering from rheumatic disease or those receiving immunosuppressant treatments may be more vulnerable to serious SARS-CoV-2 infections.
Previous studies have suggested that patients suffering from rheumatic diseases are at an increased risk of infections due to immune dysfunctions as a result of their disease, as well as the usage of immunomodulatory drugs. Biological disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs (bDMARDs) are often used in the treatment of rheumatic diseases. These drugs target the pathway of the immune system through cytokine blockade, thus causing dysregulation of the immune system.
The use of bDMARDs has led to an increased risk of COVID-19 in both children and adults. Therefore, whether these rheumatic diseases or the use of anti-rheumatic drugs affected the course of SARS-CoV-2 infection is of critical importance.
A new study conducted in Turkey aimed to determine the course of SARS-CoV-2 infection in children who were suffering from rheumatic disease and were receiving bDMARD treatment.
About the study
The current retrospective study involved fourteen pediatric rheumatology centers in Turkey. The study included a total of 113 patients who were infected with SARS-CoV-2 and were receiving treatment with bDMARD for their primary rheumatic diseases.
The medical records of patients who were diagnosed with rheumatic disease and treated with bDMARD were reviewed, along with those patients who were diagnosed with COVID-19, which were included in the study. The data was collected between April 2020 and 2021.
The current study also implemented few inclusion and exclusion criteria. The inclusion factors involved case definitions of COVID-19 according to certain criteria.
For example, in asymptomatic patients, the detection of the SARS-CoV-2 ribonucleic acid (RNA) was achieved by reverse-transcriptase polymerase-chain-reaction (RT-PCR) analysis. Comparatively, in symptomatic patients, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was performed to determine the presence of immunoglobulin G (IgG) and IgM antibodies. Patients who were infected with SARS-CoV-2 but did not receive bDMARDs were excluded from the study, along with patients who showed symptoms of COVID-19 but refused to undergo RT-PCR testing.
The results of the study indicated that out of the 113 selected pediatric patients, 72 were female and 41 were male with a mean age of 12.87±4.69 years. Out of the 113 patients, 35 were diagnosed (30.9%) with systemic autoinflammatory disease (AID), 63 (55.8%) were diagnosed with juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA), 10 (8.9%) with vasculitides, and 5 (4.4%) with connective tissue diseases. Nineteen patients were found to have other additional comorbidities.
At the time of diagnosis, 71 of the patients were found to have at least one COVID-19 related symptom, while 42 were asymptomatic. COVID-19 was confirmed in 103 patients through the RT-PCR analysis and in 10 patients through the SARS-CoV-2 antibody test. Among the symptomatic patients, 29 exhibited respiratory symptoms such as dyspnea and cough, while 7 showed abnormal thorax computerized tomography (CT) findings.
A total of 24 patients required hospitalization, out of which 2 were admitted to intensive care and the remaining 89 received ambulatory care. Treatment was required by 35 patients, out of which 21 were hospitalized. Out of the 35 patients, 10 received azithromycin, 22 received favipiravir, seven received oseltamivir, and 10 required steroid treatment.
The results also indicated that 5 patients, of whom 2 were diagnosed with vasculitis, two with JIA, and one with AID, were found to be presented with multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C). Patients with vasculitis were treated with anti-tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α drugs, whereas those with JIA were treated with anti-interleukin (IL)-1 agents, and the patient with AID was treated with canakinumab.
Two patients, one diagnosed with vasculitis and another JIA, died. No patients reported disease flare or complications post-COVID-19 follow-up.
Comparison of laboratory and clinical findings of the patients who required hospitalization and those who received ambulatory care did not show any difference in the type of rheumatic disease, as well as the biological drug used. Furthermore, it was also found that patients who received hospitalization were younger and exhibited a shorter duration of rheumatic disease. Additionally, the usage of steroids was more common in patients who were hospitalized.
The current study demonstrated that severe COVID-19 was found in patients with underlying comorbidities, irrespective of the use of bDMARDs. Although the study could not show that COVID-19 worsened in patients receiving bDMARDs, it was an important factor in the determination of the clinical characteristics and outcomes of patients infected with SARS-CoV-2.
The two major limitations of the study were the retrospective design and the small number of patients. Further multicenter studies need to be carried out to better understand the risk factors that can result in a severe course of COVID-19 in patients with rheumatic diseases.

On November 7, 2022, Horowitz Law filed a lawsuit in Lee County Circuit Court against the Bonita Springs franchise of Massage Luxe after massage therapist Ismael “Izzy” Garcia allegedly assaulted a female client. The Massage Luxe franchise is located at 3300 Bonita Beach Road, Suite #129, Bonita Springs, FL 34134. Attorney Adam Horowitz remarked, “The public would be shocked if they knew how many incidents of sexual misconduct occur in the massage setting. Each month in Florida we are seeing multiple massage therapists lose their massage license or get arrested for sex crimes. It turns out that the massage many people seek for relaxation is in fact a dangerous activity.”
Allegations in the Complaint
According to law enforcement records, on June 11, 2022, Ismael “Izzy” Garcia was assigned to perform a 60-massage on a 40-year-old female client at Massage Luxe. In preparation for her massage, the client disrobed entirely, laid down on the massage table, and covered herself with the provided drape. Mr. Garcia entered the massage room and proceeded to massage the client. Mr. Garcia allegedly reached under the draping, placed his entire palm on one of the client’s bare buttocks, and ran his fingers in the crevice of her buttocks. The alleged victim shifted away from Mr. Garcia in a startled movement. Mr. Garcia quickly removed his hand and resumed the massage. While the alleged victim was face up, Mr. Garcia massaged her upper thigh by moving his hands in stroking motions up toward her pubic area. According to law enforcement records, Mr. Garcia touched the victim’s outer labia in an up-and-down stroking motion. Mr. Garcia allegedly touched the victim’s inner labia and clitoris with his ungloved fingers. Mr. Garcia reportedly began stroking the client’s inner labia and clitoris in the same motion. After the second stroke, the client’s knee jerked up, and she shouted, “no, no.”
According to the lawsuit, Ismael Garcia was aided in accomplishing the sexual assault upon Plaintiff by the existence of his agency or employment relationship with MASSAGE LUXE. Specifically, Mr. Garcia is alleged to have used the authority delegated to him by MASSAGE LUXE to initiate sexual contact with Plaintiff while she was undressed and laying in prone, vulnerable position in a dark room seeking relaxation. She was in this vulnerable position with Mr. Garcia precisely because of Mr. Garcia’s agency relationship with MASSAGE LUXE. The lawsuit states that under the doctrine of respondeat superior, MASSAGE LUXE is responsible for the reckless and intentional actions of its servant, committed in the actual or apparent scope of his duties.
Garcia’s License Was Restricted, and Now DOH Seeks to Revoke
Ismael Garcia was arrested on the same sexual battery charge that is the subject of the lawsuit. The arrest comes two months after the Florida Department of Health (DOH) took emergency action on his massage therapy license. On September 9, 2022, the DOH issued an Emergency Order restricting the massage therapist license of Ismael “Izzy” Garcia after an alleged sexual assault complaint was made by his client. The Order prohibits Garcia’s practice of massage therapy on all female clients in the State of Florida. Garcia has been a licensed massage therapist in Florida since July 2015. The Department of Health is seeking to permanently revoke Ismael Garcia’s massage therapy license, according to an Administrative Complaint filed on September 22, 2022.
All massage therapists in Florida are licensed by the Florida Department of Health. If your massage therapist makes any sexual contact with you, it is a violation of professional ethics and may be a crime and actionable in a civil lawsuit. In addition to reporting misconduct to law enforcement, if this incident occurs in Florida, you can also lodge a complaint with the Department of Health at this website: https://www.flhealthcomplaint.gov
If you have been a victim of sexual assault during a massage at any Massage Luxe location, or if you know someone who has, please contact our law firm at (954) 641-2100 or send an email to sexual abuse lawyer Adam Horowitz at [email protected].

SPECIFICATION AND CALIBRATION OF BAGNOLD'S MODEL FOR SAND TRANSPORT: URAYQ AL BULDAN DUNE FIELD, CENTRAL SAUDI ARABIA
Sand invasion is, and has been, a critical problem for many small, scattered villages in the Northern, Central and Eastern Provinces of Saudi Arabia. Year after year more of the usable arid land of Saudi Arabia is converted to wasteland due to the encroachment of desert sand. More importantly, the productive capacity, of vast dry regions of Saudi Arabia is declining.
The research used wind profile observations over Urayq Al Buldan sand dunes of central Saudi Arabia as a basis for calculating the shear stress and wind shear velocity which are the most important variables influencing sand movement by wind. The measured critical wind velocity at the beginning of sand movement on Urayq Al Buldan sand dunes was found to be about 470 cm sec('-1) and the corresponding critical shear velocity calculated directly from the wind profiles is 24.89 cm sec('-1).
The rate of sand movement was determined with two different types of sand traps modeled after the designs of Horikawa and Shen (1960). Calculation of creep to total sand captured by these traps agree very well with that calculated by Chepil for similar grain size.
Plots of the measured values of shear stress versus total sand transport revealed a strong statistical association between shear stress and sand transport but the proportional relationship between shear stress and sand transport does not appear to be a simple one.
Bagnold's equation for sand transport which was based solely on the threshold velocity and wind speed at a fixed measurement height appears to be very useful in applied studies and capable of very precise predictions of rates of sand transport as long as the model has been properly calibrated.
The analysis of grain size of sand caught by the different traps revealed variations in the symmetrical sediment distributions according to the different traps used.

MARTINSVILLE-When work is finished on Route 58, the money could pass over to Interstate 73. The General Assembly signed off on a bill to make that happen this week, with one catch. It has to be approved one more time in 2018 by both the Virginia House and Senate.
Right now, $40 million a year goes from state taxes to the U.S. Route 58 Corridor Development Fund. The next phase of the project is set to be advertised in 2020. All total, Route 58 is expected to be complete by 2030 at the latest. When that happens, under the terms of SB806, the money would go toward the Interstate 73 Corridor Development Fund.
That doesn't mean construction could start in 2030. Under the Virginia Code, the Virginia Department of Transportation can only start construction once a project is fully funded. Currently, the project has an estimated price tag of $4 billion. At the same time, state Sen. Bill Stanley, the bill's author, feels this is a good next step.
“It's a huge policy statement Virginia has made,” Stanley said. “It shows Virginia is serious about building I-73.”
Stanley argues that it's only fair for southern Virginia to get money for this project, especially when you look back at the last decade of road funding. In that period, Northern Virginia got $6 billion, the Hampton Roads area got $4 billion and this region got less than $900 million.
Local officials say they're also encouraged that the General Assembly gave a tentative approval to the bill.

Launceston’s extraordinary finals series has come to an end after a third consecutive Hobart trip, this time against Lauderdale at Blundstone Arena in the preliminary final. An unchanged Blues line up jumped out of the blocks early but injury and perhaps a bit of fatigue caught up to them, and Lauderdale eventually came away 24 point winners to book their place in the grand final. The Blues can be immensely proud of their progress this season however, having come from second last, last year, to a preliminary final berth is a terrific achievement and the future looks bright with over a third of the preliminary final side being made up of teenagers.
Nathan O’Donoghue capped off an outstanding finals series with another commanding performance up forward, with 11 disposals, 6 marks and three goals. The big man was enormous in the finals series, kicking 7 goals in 3 games to lead the way for the Blues. Youngster Connor Smith had his most productive game of the season in the preliminary final, with 18 disposals, 5 inside 50s and two goals. Joe Boyce was Launceston’s other multiple goal kicker, kicking two first half goals before unfortunately going off injured in the third quarter. Sonny Whiting brought up a milestone, kicking his 50th goal of the season to wrap up his fourth Kerry Tuthill Memorial Trophy overall and his third in a row.
Jake Hinds was once again the Blues’ most prolific ball winner, with 23 disposals, 12 contested possessions, 5 marks and 5 clearances in what could be his last game for Launceston should everything go to plan at the AFL draft in November. Coach Sam Lonergan had 21 disposals and 6 tackles, the ever consistent Jay Blackberry had 21 disposals, 17 contested possessions and 8 tackles, and Brendan Taylor had 18 disposals, 12 contested possessions and 8 tackles. At the back co-captain Chris Savage was excellent with 19 disposals, 6 marks and 5 rebound 50s. Ryan Tyrrell also found plenty of it with 20 disposals, 6 marks and 6 rebound 50s, and Jimmy Aganas was great in the air, leading the team with 7 spoils.
The season isn’t quite over just yet for Launceston Football Club, as this weekend sees both the Mercury Cup and TSLW sides playing off in grand finals at UTAS Stadium on Saturday. The Mercury Cup side play Clarence at 10:10 in the morning, while the TSLW side will play Glenorchy straight afterwards at 1:15pm.
Launceston goals: O’Donoghue 3, Boyce 2, C. Smith 2, Kelly-Mansell, Whiting
Launceston best: Hinds, Lonergan, Savage, C. Smith, Aganas, O’Donoghue

On Tuesday evening, Oct., 16, Assistant Professor of Political Science Christina Greer (left) moderated a lively six-person panel offering some heavy pre-debate analysis of the presidential candidates.
Helping gear up an audience of 1,500 for a debate-viewing evening at Harlem’s Apollo Theater, Greer surveyed the panelists, who ranged from conservatives (American Spectator columnist William Tucker) to activists (WBAI commentator Esther Armah and Amsterdam News’ Herb Boyd) and everything in between, with a set of questions, including:
What will Obama try to address? (Answers: Why he’s worthy of another term, his confidence, Romney’s inaccuracies)
Following one pre-debate question from a Green Party supporter on the pointlessness of voting, Greer summed up a political truism just before the on-screen debate began: if you don’t vote, you have no right to complain.


Fake vaccination certificates
Fake Vaccination Certificates gain more credibility through fake ECDC website
By Christine Schönig, Regional Director Security Engineering CER, Office of the CTO, at Check Point Software Technologies GmbH
Christine Schönig, Regional Director Security Engineering CER, Office of the CTO at Check Point
Since the beginning of the Corona vaccinations, the security researchers from Check Point Research (CPR) have been monitoring the black market for vaccines, fake vaccination certificates and tests. The scams here are versatile and there is no lack of ingenuity on the part of the perpetrators.
The Check Point Research team has now discovered a new technique. Cybercriminals now falsely claim access to the website of the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC) where data on vaccinated persons are stored throughout Europe. They claim that they can register interested parties in the database, so that when they are checked, provided with false information, they appear everywhere as a fully vaccinated person.
However, the cyber criminals actually use a fake ECDC website for registration. Nevertheless, the trick works: An unsuspecting border officer or security guard at an event can be easily outwitted, because the digital certificate looks deceptively real. Check Point discovered the fake website using the URL embedded in the QR code.
Not only would this provide easy and affordable access to forged documents, but these IDs now seem even more credible because they point to supposedly genuine websites.

Things are just fine with Scarlett Johansson and her mom Melanie Sloan, thank you very much.
Over the weekend, the New York Post reported that Johansson's former "momager," Sloan, 60, had fallen upon hard times financially. Two months after signing a contract to purchase a posh two-bedroom apartment in midtown New York for $1.4 million, Sloan filed court papers for the return of her $130,000 deposit.
Sloan told the court she was "cash poor" and could not obtain a mortgage. She was the longtime manager for her movie-star daughter, now 27, until they parted ways professionally two years ago, when the "We Bought a Zoo" actress hired a professional manager.
"Once I got married [to Ryan Reynolds], I felt that I needed to cut the cord," Johansson told Vanity Fair of the decision.
But that professional parting -- and Sloan's current struggle to make ends meet -- hasn't soured the mother-daughter bond, Johansson told Page Six in a statement Wednesday.
"Scarlett and Melanie are as close as they have ever been" Johansson's rep said. "They are incredibly proud of the solid and productive professional partnership they had through the many years they worked together. Their personal relationship is solid and loving."

From Crowd Ignite


Finance Minister Colm Imbert said the distribution of shares and bonds to Clico unitholders will begin in January 2023, after the Clico Investment Fund (CIF) closes on January 2, 2023.
In the Senate on Tuesday, Imbert gave a breakdown of the status of the fund, which was created by the government in 2012 to buy back the series of 11- to 20-year bonds issued to holders of short-term investment products sold by Colonial Compagnie. life insurance (Clico) and British American Insurance Company.
“The Clico Trust Corporation, established as a 100% public company, is the trustee of the CIF and is governed by a deed of trust. CIF is a 204 million unit closed-end fund that is traded on the TT Exchange. The fund has a lifespan of ten years with a redemption date of January 2, 2023. The CIF consists of a mix of 40,072,299 RBL Financial Holdings Ltd shares and government bonds with a face value of $702,867,000 with a coupon of 4.25% and a term of 25 years.
He explained how the distribution would take place as defined in clause 19 of the Clico investment trust indenture. Clause 19.2 states that after the termination of the trust, the trustee will distribute the shares of RBL Financial Holdings, any other assets including the deposited property and the income of the fund in cash (Latin term meaning in real form), to the unitholders .
“The Trustee is entitled to retain, out of all moneys in his possession, any part of the property deposited, full provision for all costs, debts, liabilities, charges, expenses, etc., pursuant to the winding up of the fund. As of September 30, 2022, the CIF had 6,227 unitholders. Pursuant to the Indenture, the property deposited, net of liquidation costs, is to be distributed in specie, ie in real form, to Unitholders and will be distributed as follows.
“Unitholders will receive 0.1964 shares of Republic Bank Financial Holdings Ltd for each unit held, calculated as 40,072,299 shares divided by 204,000,000 CIF units. Clause 19.2.1 specifies that in the event that the distribution in kind of shares leads to the distribution of fractional shares, the number of shares will be rounded down to avoid any aberrant result. Bonds will also be pro-rated and Unitholders will be entitled to 3.445 Bonds per Unit held. Any residual amount due to unitholders resulting from the above distribution will be paid in cash.
Imbert outlined the timeline over which the property would be distributed and the actions leading up to the termination of the fund.
“The last trading date of CIF shares on the Stock Exchange will be December 30, 2022 and the transfer of shares and bonds will start from the week of January 2023. Once the transfers have been made and the expenses paid, the CIF will be de- listed on the Stock Exchange and liquidated.
“In November 2022, the trustee Clico Trust Corporation will publish advertisements in the newspapers informing of the closing of the fund, letters will be sent to the Stock Exchange and the Securities and Exchange Commission officially informing of the closing of the fund on January 2. 2023, and the lead broker will discuss with the unitholders’ brokers in the transfer of the shares.
Imbert was answering a question from opposition Senator Wade Mark before the Senate adjourned. Mark asked for clarification on how the fund would be dissolved and distributed, and what value unitholders would receive.
“There is a need for the government to give unit holders an idea of what they are going to do with the units which we believe are 204 million because the value of these units has fallen since the time they were taken. were issued at $27 per unit, so if you convert that to stock, it would be cheaper than when it was originally purchased at $31 per unit. I looked at the share price of Republic Bank Ltd and saw about three or four weeks ago it was at $140 per share, and a few days ago it was at $133, so there is some market uncertainty, so the government needs to clear the air.”
Imbert said Mark’s information was wrong because the units had a face value of $25 when the fund was created, not $27 or $31.
“The value at which CIF units most recently trade is $28.54, so the units are now worth more than when they were first issued under the CIF Declaration of Trust on October 31. 2012 when Senator Mark was associated with a former government. . There has been a series of distributions since then, dividend payments on CIF shares from 2012 to present, so I don’t think it’s fair to insinuate that CIF holders have lost over the period.

Reviews of this property
We had a warm welcome and a great stay at Bernd's place, a very knowledgable and interesting man! He showed us around and how do buy tickets at the tube station and was a reliable source of information!
Berlin is fantastic and our stay at Bernds house made it even better!
Super clean and comfortable flat! the bed is the obvious feature of this place! A great night's sleep! :)
Very beautiful place.my host was very Kind .He was thinking to everything We could be need .All was perfect .Bernd is an incredible man.you have to go to meet him!
We very much enjoyed our stay in this great appartment at a beautiful spot in the centre of western Berlin. The appartment itself has everything you need for a perfect stay (microwave, washing machine, in fact everything you're probably used to at home), mister Kalski is very helpfull and the appartment is located at the best spot you could imagine, with the KaDeWe (Wittenberg Platz) and Victoria Louise Platz (nice sight and underground station) just around the corner. The secured parking facility at the sight was also a great outcome.
We will undoubtly return in the near future.
Cedric & Gerda Regtop-Troost
Perfect place! Location, amenities, cleanliness, comfort - all good. Very helpful hosts. Great for family stay, too.
Bernd you can be very sure we'll come again and rent your flat. It was everything so clean and modern, we enjoyed staying there. Next time we'll book earlier so we can stay longer. Thank you very much. Linda and Hartmut
This is a fabulous, central apartment which has been carefully furnished with top quality accessories (from bed-linen to electronic devices such as TVs). Berndt met us on our arrival and gave us great advice for local shops and restaurants.
We would definitely use this apartment again when we return to Berlin.
John Murray (Edinburgh)

Karla Camila Cabello Estrabao (English: /kə’mi’lə kəˈbeɪoʊ/, Spanish: [ka’mila ka’beʎo]; born March 3, 1997) is a Cuban-Americansinger and songwriter. She rose to fame as a member of the girl group Fifth Harmony, formed during the second season of The X Factor in 2012. Thereafter, the group was signed to a joint record deal with Syco Music and Epic Records and released one extended play and two studio albums.
Cabello began to establish herself as a solo artist with the release of several collaborations, including “Bad Things” with Machine Gun Kelly, which entered the top five in the United States. After leaving Fifth Harmony in 2016, she released the solo single “Crying in the Club” to a modest performance. Refocusing her sound to Latin-influenced music, her eponymous debut studio album Camila (2018) debuted at number one on the US Billboard 200, supported by its lead single “Havana”, which reached number one in a number of countries including the UK and the US.
2012–2016: The X Factor and Fifth Harmony
Camila Cabello auditioned for The X Factor in Greensboro, North Carolina with Aretha Franklin’s “Respect”, however, her audition was not aired because the TV show did not get the rights for the song. After elimination during the “bootcamp” portion of the process in Miami, Florida, Cabello was called back to the stage along with other contestants Ally Brooke, Normani Kordei, Lauren Jauregui, and Dinah Jane to form the girl group that would later become known as Fifth Harmony. After finishing in third place on the show they signed a joint deal with Syco Music, owned by Simon Cowell, and Epic Records, L.A. Reid’s record label.
The group released the EP Better Together (2013) along with the studio albums Reflection (2015) and 7/27 (2016). The latter two generated the singles “Worth It” and “Work from Home”, respectively, which reached the top 10 in several international charts. From 2013 through the end of 2016, Cabello performed in various Fifth Harmony tours.
On December 18, 2016, the group announced Cabello’s departure, with both parts explaining different circumstances of the exit. She appeared in a previously taped performance with the group on Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve. Writing about Cabello’s time on the group, a Billboard journalist noted it is “rather uncommon for someone to stand out in a collective as much as Cabello has over the past years.”
2016–present: Solo career and Camila
In November 2015, Cabello collaborated with Canadian singer Shawn Mendes on a duet titled “I Know What You Did Last Summer”, a song they wrote together. The single charted at number 20 in the US and 18 in Canada, and was certified platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). On October 14, 2016, American rapper Machine Gun Kelly released a joint single with Cabello called “Bad Things”, which reached a peak of number four on the US Billboard Hot 100. Time.com included her on “The 25 Most Influential Teens of 2016” list.
On January 25, 2017, “Love Incredible”, a collaboration with Norwegian DJ Cashmere Cat, leaked online. The official version of the song was released on February 16, and later featured on Cashmere’s debut studio album, 9. Cabello recorded “Hey Ma” with Pitbull and J Balvin for The Fate of the Furious: The Album. The Spanish version of the single and its music video were released on March 10, 2017, and the English version was released on April 6. The singer was also featured on a collaboration with Major Lazer, Travis Scott and Quavo, for the song “Know No Better”. In May 2017, Cabello announced the future release of her first studio album, at the time titled The Hurting. The Healing. The Loving., which she described as “the story of my journey from darkness into light, from a time when I was lost to a time when I found myself again.” Her first solo single “Crying in the Club” was released on May 19, 2017, followed by a performance at the 2017 Billboard Music Awards. The single peaked at number 47 in the United States. She joined Bruno Mars’ 24K Magic World Tour as an opening act for several of its dates, and also partnered with clothing brand Guess as the face for their 2017 Fall campaign.
New writing and recording sessions for her album were influenced by the success of her single “Havana”, which postponed its original release date. The single has reached number one in Australia, the United Kingdom, and the United States. It also spent seven weeks atop the US Mainstream Top 40. Titled Camila, her debut album is a pop record containing Latin-influenced songs and ballads. Camila was released on January 12, 2018 and debuted at number one in the United States with 119,000 album-equivalent units, including 65,000 from pure album sales.

CFD models are capable of predicting the thickness of the slag film (solid and liquid), the formation of the steel shell, the rate of powder consumption, and the heat flux variations through the mold during mold oscillation.

These production technologies generally involve all or most of the following process steps: Virtually all iron powders for PM structural part production are manufactured using either the sponge.
A novel Cu-based composite frictional train brake material composed of several elements such as Al, SiO2, Fe, graphite, Sn, Mn and SiO2 re-enforced with other elements was treated under Powder Metallurgy (P/M) route.

There are road trips, and then there are trips that push us out of our comfort zone. These road trips in Costa Rica aren’t for the faint-hearted, but they will certainly be enough to get our adrenaline pumping as we explore these hidden parts of the country.
Sector Santa Rosa
Santa Rosa is largely protected thanks to the fauna and wildlife that resides in the area. That doesn’t mean it’s entirely shut off from the rest of the world; it just means it’s pretty quiet through the week and during the off-season. Thankfully, it also offers up an adrenaline-boosting road trip in Costa Rica that is most definitely not for the faint-hearted. Once you’ve winded your way to the sea, you’re greeted with incredible sights of the local wildlife and plenty of surfing opportunities.
The Monkey Trail
Although locals joke The Monkey Trail is a shortcut, it’s one of the most intense ways to travel between Playas del Coco and Flamingo. It’s famous for destroying cars as people have to twist through mountain roads, cross streams, and slide through jungles along the way. In fact, many compare riding The Monkey Trail to hiking more than a road trip, but the end result and the memories make it all worth it.
Although the end of the gravel paths looks like the end of the road, this is just the beginning of the journey if you want to explore Costa Rica’s highest peak. It’s certainly not a road trip for the faint-hearted as the concrete slabs have been worn to almost nothing, and the drops of the edge of the mountain can leave us wondering what we were thinking. Thankfully, the views teamed with the hidden gems littered across the peak make the adventure worthwhile.
Sure, you could fly to Drake Bay, but where’s the fun in that when you could drive there instead? It’s one of the most remote areas of the nation, filled with farming villages, meadows, and rainforests everywhere we look. Taking this adrenaline-filled road trip means people need a lot of confidence as there are seven rivers to cross and plenty of gravel pathways to explore before you reach the wonder that is Drake Bay.
The most famous thing that draws people to this area of Costa Rica is the turquoise river that shines bright against the backdrop of the forest. As if that wasn’t enough already, renting a car and driving around Rio Celeste means people have the chance to see the famous jaguars that live in the area and test their skills as they navigate steep rocks and stretches of jungle along the way. The hike to the private river at the end certainly makes this road trip worth it in the end.
These road trips in Costa Rica aren’t for the faint-hearted, but they do have some major outcomes in the end. Want to see some of the best sights in the world? It could be time to add these adventures to the bucket list.

Presidential Advisor on Health Roma Chilengi State House has expressed concern with the high numbers of disease outbreaks in Northern Province.
Professor Chilengi who is also Director General for Zambia National Public Health Institute says the province has recorded a number of a diseases outbreak that needs quick intervention from all stakeholders.
Professor Chilengi says government with its cooperating partners is working day and night in trying to find ways of curbing the outbreaks the province is recording.
He further noted that most of the diseases which the province is recording are waterborne related.
He also observed that sexually transmitted diseases are now escalating in the province, saying that government needs to move in to see how best it can mitigate the diseases.
Prof. Chilengi however expressed gratitude to the province for being proactive and for responding quickly whenever they receive the report of an outbreak.
And Northern Province Minister Leonard Mbao thanked State House for coming to the aid of the province in the fight against the outbreaks.
Mr Mbao noted that currently, the province is still recording cases of Cholera, Scabies, Rabies, Syphilis, and Malaria which are on the increase.
He says his office is working hand in hand with the office of the Provincial Health Director in ensuring that personnel is sent to places where there is an outbreak.
Mr Mbao further thanked the ZNPHI for donating two water purifiers to the province in helping in purifying water in Mpulungu and Nsama Districts where there is cholera outbreak.

Huawei announced availability of its Ascend P1 LTE smartphone, describing it as “the device compatible with the highest number of frequency bands”. As previously announced, it will initially be available in the UK through Everything Everywhere, with other markets set to follow.
According to the Chinese company, Ascend P1 LTE is being tested on operator networks across Europe, Latin America, North America and Asia Pacific regions. It is powered by a 1.5GHz dual-core processor, and runs Android Ice Cream Sandwich.
Earlier this year, Huawei revealed aggressive smartphone targets for 2012, looking to ship 60 million devices – compared with 20 million in 2011. Much of the growth will come from its home market, as customers transition from smartphones to feature phones.
The company is already offering a non-LTE version of the Ascend P1 worldwide, and has created a TD-SCDMA market for China Mobile.

Disneyland's Monte Cristo Sandwiches
Served at the Blue Bayou and Cafe Orleans inside Disneyland
My grandma C. introduced me to these sandwiches. Oh man... they are so good. When she found a restaurant in Phoenix that also made them, she would arrange to take me on occasion. I remember the day she called me (I was living in Utah at the time) to tell me that the restaurant was closing. She suggested we meet at Disneyland to share a sandwich. In high school I had a boyfriend that my grandparents actually quite liked (that is speaking ONLY to my taste in guys...) and one time I was staying at their house when he picked me up for a date. My grandpa slipped him a twenty-dollar bill and said... "if you are hoping for a good-night kiss... take her to The Chimney and order for her. Order the Monte Cristo Sandwich." How funny is that?
I've only attempted this recipe once... and I did not make the sauce or compote... instead I served it with Knotts Berry Farm Mixed Jelly!
note: there is nothing healthy or diet friendly about this recipe... NOTHING
Recipe from RecipeZaar. Click here.
CURRANT JELLY SAUCE
12 ounces red currant jelly
1 tablespoon water
1 tablespoon half-and-half
1 (12 ounce) jar red currant jelly
1 (15 ounce) can peaches
2/3 cup water
1 small egg
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon white pepper
2/3 cup all-purpose flour
1 3/4 teaspoons baking powder
8 slices white bread
4 slices roasted cooked turkey (1 ounce each sandwich)
4 slices Swiss cheese (1 ounce each sandwich)
4 slices smoked ham (1 ounce each sandwich)
vegetable oil, for frying
confectioners' sugar, for dusting
fruit, compote, currant jelly sauce
1 CURRANT JELLY SAUCE: Combine jelly, water and half and half in blender and mix until smooth. Makes about 3/4 cup.
2 FRUIT COMPOTE: Combine your favorite fresh and canned fruits and chill well. Yield is about 1/2 cup per person.
3 BATTER: Place water, egg, salt, and pepper in a bowl and using an electric mixer, mix well at low speed. Add flour and baking powder and mix until batter is smooth. Chill.
4 SANDWICHES: Make 4 sandwiches, putting cheese between ham and turkey. Cut into fourths and put a toothpick through each quarter.
5 Heat about 6" of oil to 340 degrees in a fryer. Dip sandwiches in batter to cover all surfaces. Deep fry sandwiches until golden brown, turning as needed. An alternate way of frying it to put approximately 1/4" oil in a large pan and fry the sandwiches on both sides until crispy and brown.
6 Remove from oil and take out toothpicks. Drain on paper towel to remove excess oil. Sprinkle sandwiches with confectioners' sugar. Serve with fruit compote and currant jelly sauce.
