'They Are Kids, Let Them Eat': A Qualitative Investigation into the Parental Beliefs and Practices of Providing a Healthy Diet for Young Children among a Culturally Diverse and Deprived Population in the UK.
In the UK, ethnic minority children are at greater risk of obesity and weight-related ill health compared to the wider national population. The factors that influence the provision of a healthy diet among these populations remain less understood. An interpretive qualitative study with a phenomenological perspective comprised of 24 single sex semi-structured focus groups was conducted with 110 parents (63 mothers and 47 fathers) of young children (aged 0-5 years). The participants were recruited from deprived and ethnically diverse wards in Luton, UK and self-identified as being white British, Pakistani, Bangladeshi, black African-Caribbean or Polish. The findings highlighted a wide range of inter-relating psychological and sociocultural factors that underpin parental beliefs and practices in providing children with a healthy diet. Parents, whilst aware of the importance of providing children with a healthy diet, faced challenges such as lack of time and balancing competing responsibilities, which were clear barriers to providing children with a healthy diet. Access to and affordability of healthy food and the overexposure of cheap, convenient, and unhealthy processed foods made it increasingly difficult for parents to provide a healthy diet for their growing families. Household food practices were also found to be situated within the wider context of sociocultural and religious norms around cooking and eating, along with cultural identity and upbringing.

This show predated me by quite some years. I hadn't seen it until I bought a cheapo DVD at WalMart with a bunch of old Westerns on it, and it included seven Range Rider episodes - what a revelation. The stories aren't extremely deep, someone occasionally might get killed but more often they don't. The closest I can parallel it to another show would be Batman and Robin; Range Rider and Dick West kind of freelance about, solving problems and crimes. What I enjoy the most is the comic aspect they give to Dick West, the Range Rider's sidekick and 'the All American Boy'. (Wonder what the Jack Armstrong people thought of that one?) On one hand, Dick is right there beside the Range Rider, using his gun, getting into the fights, a character a kid back-when could really dream of being like. On the other hand Dick is also given some really funny lines; he's kind of a dopey overanxious young guy who really keeps the stories animated. I like the way they occasionally throw in a line about a blonde or a brunette, like when Dick West has to go down into a well to look for something - Range Rider tells him to see if he can see any brunettes or redheads at the bottom of the well. Actually, that brings up one of the funnier aspects of this show - in most episodes, there turns out to be a pretty young lady and Dickie falls head over heels for her. When he tells Range Rider how much he likes the girl, Range Rider brings up a few of Dickie's other past 'loves' and Dickie always insists - indignantly - "This one's DIFFERENT!" They're ALL different. It's a running gag and always funny.
Quite a few of the episodes are more funny than anything - like one where Dickie has to pretend to belong to a traveling acting troupe. He is dressed up as Juliet (from the Shakespeare play) and keeps looking down at his chest in the woman's dress he is wearing. In another episode he has to pass himself off as a cook at a roadhouse and that does not go well either. However there are also a fair number of episodes that have a more serious storyline to them - but there's always at least a little bit of fun going on too.
One of my very favorite scenes (with Dick West again!) has him fighting with some bad guy who has punched him in the mouth. The things they'd let you do to kids not even old enough to drink back then! Well anyhow Dick retaliates with a roundhouse that knocks the bad guy backwards and down into a well. Dick scurries over to the well and stands on tiptoe and looks down into the well as the bad guy splashes into the water. Then he steps back and gets this intense look on his face; he shakes his head this way and that, and then reaches in and pulls out a tooth that the bad guy's punch knocked out. Fortunately it was a tooth he needed pulled anyhow. There's some great comedy in among the Western action.
Dick West and Range Rider do nearly all their own stunts. One scene has them sliding down some large rock formations in the desert and Dick lands on his rear end on a rock after coming down a lot farther than I think he planned. It HAD to have hurt!
Range Rider himself is a real tough guy, no doubt, and there are appearances by some very well-known character actors, i.e. Lee Van Cleef in one episode I watched. Denver Pyle is in quite a few of the episodes as well as some others you might recognize, a couple of which you've seen in many 3 Stooges shorts. This is a fun show to watch - well worth keeping in mind if it should ever cross your path. I hope to find more episodes of it.

The wait is over! After the makers amazed fans by unveiling the first look of Deepika Padukone as Padmavati and Shahid Kapoor as Maharawal Ratan Singh from Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s magnum opus Padmavati, Ranveer Singh’s look as Alauddin Khilji is breaking the internet.
The actor - who turned heads when he went bald to essay the role of Peshwa Bajirao in Bajirao Mastani a few years back – is back with yet another historical character.
The two posters that have been unveiled by the makers not only give an insight into the character’s look, but also helps the viewers understand how royal and fierce he was.
In this poster which Ranveer shared on Instagram, he sports kohled eyes, slightly-curled tresses and a headgear to complete the look. But it is the intense expression that he wears and the scar that runs under his eye that speaks volumes about the aggression.
Second poster too explains his power as the ruler of the Khilji dynasty.
Jointly produced by Bhansali Productions and Viacom 18 Motion Pictures, "Padmavati" will hit the theatres on December 1.

The idea that we should be "strong" as a way to cope with life's difficulties, is not only false, it's also damaging.
Most people believe being 'strong' is a virtue and admirable.
But their idea of strong is the impression that's left AFTER they have pushed down their vulnerabilities.
Their idea of strength is what other's see AFTER they have disconnected from what they really feel.
And that's not strength.
That's a mask.
The truth is, we don't have to put on a front and appear strong to be strong.
That's called emotional suppression. (And the only thing that achieves is damage to our body).
Strength is not an appearance.
Strength is the ability to feel.
Good, bad or otherwise.
Strength is not the ability to suppress and appear.
True strength is being unafraid to feel confused, lost or weak.
True strength is being unafraid to feel anything.
True strength is being WILLING to feel anything that arises.
True strength is being willing to feel ALL that is present.
Even vulnerable, fragile and sensitive.
True strength is being able to feel less than.
Less than robust and less than confident.
Less than we actually want to be feeling.
(And make no mistake, we've all been there)
The truth about strength, my definition of it, is being less than strong and less than capable, AND being perfectly ok with it.
True strength is vulnerability and not needing to fix it, change it, distract from it or move away from it.
True strength is being comfortable with our own weaknesses.
True strength is rising above appearances.
True strength is honouring our vulnerabilities and limitations.
And accepting and adoring ourselves anyway.

LeFavour at an earlier demonstration.
Yesterday, gay former state Senator Nicole LeFavour was discovered in a Senate coat closet where she had been "for between five and six hours," the Spokesman Review reports:
“It’s a very large closet,” she said. “There are lots of people in closets out there, and they’re not comfortable.”
Senate Majority Leader Bart Davis, R-Idaho Falls, said the Senate was at ease when LeFavour was discovered late Tuesday afternoon by staffers looking for some items in the closet.
“I have no idea how long she was there,” Davis said.
Senate President Pro-Tem Brent Hill, R-Rexburg, asked LeFavour to leave.
“It seemed to me that there was some initial reluctance, but there was compliance,” Davis said.
Said LeFavour to the Spokesman Review: "Closets are never safe for gay or transgender people."
What do you say or do when you've tried everything? What do you say when compassion and reason seem to have failed, when nothing will make the powerful stop and hear the stories an entire state has to tell? Pat Trumam sang and we cried last night, with the thought of the loss we could not stop, the fear we can't make them see, the beautiful lives they will not stand for. But we stand with love for all out there who wait in silence. We are not just gay or bisexual or transgender but are strong with the passion of men and women who stepped up this year just because discrimination is unacceptable to them and because they know it's time our state change.
…I am ashamed to be a member of a legislative body that would for nine years not take a public vote or public testimony on a bill to end discrimination against gay and transgender people — but which will take the state's time to vote publicly to deny me floor privileges because I walked into an open closet off a typically unused senate lounge and sat down. You prefer to focus on anything but the devastating stories of loss, fear, violence and discrimination gay & transgender people still face in our state.

Washington Governor Jay Inslee announced new restrictions in response to rising cases of the coronavirus in Washington State. It is not clear how the Governor plans to enforce the restrictions or to support affected businesses and their employees.
The following planned restrictions are scheduled to take effect Monday and are mandated through Dec. 14:
Indoor social gatherings with people from different households are prohibited.
Outdoor social gatherings of more that five people from outside the same household are prohibited.
Indoor dining at restaurants and bars is prohibited. Outdoor dining restricted to no more than five per party.
Gyms and fitness facilities are closed, as is bowling and drop off childcare.
All retail activities and business meetings are prohibited, as are real estate open houses. Retail facilities may have no more than 25 percent capacity. Professional services can operate at no more than 25 percent.
Movie theatres, museums, zoos, and aquariums are closed.
Wedding and funeral receptions are prohibited, ceremonies of no more that 30 are permitted.
Houses of worship can be no more than 25 percent or 200 people, whichever is fewer, and bands and choirs are prohibited.
Long-term care facility visits are prohibited, save for end of life or essential support.
Public schools remain closed, and any sport activities must be outdoors with athletes masked.
Despite death and hospitalization rates remaining relatively stagnant even as cases rise, Inslee opened his Sunday presser by calling it "The most dangerous health day… in our state's history."
Washingtonians have been bracing for this move following a Thursday address by the governor and his wife , asking residents to rethink how they celebrate Thanksgiving and the December holidays. In the same speech, Inslee had hinted at further actions in the coming days. Following the address on Friday, the governor issued a travel advisory, asking travelers who visit Washington to quarantine for 14 days. As has become routing for Inslee, the action follows the lead of the governors of Oregon and California who instituted similar restrictions.
Though it was touted by Inslee as two weeks to flatten the curve, Inslee's original "Stay Home, Stay Healthy" initiative was instituted on March 23 and didn't end until May 31. Counties were required to apply for phased opening from the state which Inslee paused earlier this year as cases began to rise.
Inslee has faced legal challenges multiple times over the orders. In May, the state was found to have inflated COVID death numbers by counting people who had died from gun shots and car accidents in the virus' tally.
The governor instituted what has been nicknamed the "Snitch List" for residents to report business, neighbors and even strangers for not following the mandates. Many have accused the governor of weaponizing the department of Labor and Industry to enforce restrictions against business owners while still allowing massive protests.
In a letter to the Washington Food Industry Association, President and CEO Tammie Hetrick said that she met with the governor's office and that the new restrictions will be taking effect on Monday.
In the letter, Hetrick says that all indoor social gathering will be prohibited but that it is unclear "…how this will be enforced…." Restaurants and bars are closed for indoor service and takeout is limited to 5 people at a time. A 25 percent capacity will be instituted on all retailers including grocery stores, not including employees.
Mask restrictions are also expected to be updated even though Washington has been under a mask mandate for months. A Centers for Disease Control report released in September shows that masks and face coverings are not effective in preventing the spread of COVID-19, even for those people who consistently wear them. Nothing has been done to address the consequences of lockdowns including economic impact, suicide, depression, substance abuse and mental health.
In April, during the first stay-at-home order in Washington state, restaurants and hotels lost 191,000 jobs. 100,000 hospitality workers gradually returned to work. As of August, approximately 1,300 business have closed throughout the region, including more than 100 in Seattle, leading to 47,000 people being out of work in Seattle alone.
Over 20,000 Washingtonians have still not received unemployment checks after Inslee enabled Nigerian scammers to defraud the Washington State unemployment fund of over one billion dollars. Since February there have been no meaningful effort to mitigate the economic impact of the restrictions on businesses and employees.
Washington Hospitality Association's President and CEO, Anthony Anton told KOMO News that another shutdown could be devastating. "If we have to shut down again, that means we're going to lose those 100,000 jobs," said Anton. The association says 35 percent of restaurants in Washington state may close permanently. That number could increase dramatically with another extended stay at home order.
According to the American Hotel and Lodging Association, nearly half of the hotels in the state could go into foreclosure without more help from the government.

David Gerrold talked about this at a convention in Richmond, VA, back within the first season or two of the series.
He said it was basically Tracy Torme saying, "Let's write a good old fashioned horror-story!" And he did.
But apparently, at the time, he had not yet made plans to follow it up.
And, beyond any comments from Gerrold that were directly about this story, there were other complications. At the end of the first season there was a writer's strike. The last script of the season, for example, "The Neutral Zone," came from nowhere. (No writer could officially work on it during a strike, so any work on it until after the strike was unofficial.)
Then, in the second season, there were a number of changes, such as moving Geordi to Engineering and replacing Dr. Crusher with Dr. Pulaski. I don't know all their plans, but there were budgeting and other issues that resulted in that season being 4 episodes shorter than usual.
It's very possible that Torme planned on following up on the episode, but with these issues, may not have been able to. He was not with the series after the second season, so any of his plans would have been dropped in favor of the plans of the writers on the staff at the time.
I do have to question the statement, from Memory Alpha, about the intent for the parasites to be agents of the Borg. While Gerrold wasn't on staff at the time, he was familiar with what was going on, and was quite clear that, at the time, the episode wasn't part of an already planned "official" arc.
It's a lot easier for people, when remembering, to look back and consider integrating what was already done and say, "Yeah, this was the basic plan."
As to a canon explanation of what was going on, there is none.

Citic Securities seeks $804m from asset sale
Updated: 2011-08-15 13:11
Citic Securities Co said Friday it plans to raise 5.14 billion yuan ($803.7 million) by selling a 31 percent stake in its China Asset Management Co unit to three parties.
South Industry Assets Management Co will pay 1.76 billion yuan for 11 percent of China Asset Management. Shandong Province Rural Economic Development Investment Company, an investment arm backed by the Shandong provincial government, will acquire a 10 percent stake for 1.60 billion yuan, while Power Corp of Canada will get another 10 percent for 1.78 billion yuan, the nation's largest securities company by assets said in a statement filed to the Shanghai Stock Exchange.
The deals are subject to China Securities Regulatory Commission approval, the company said in the statement.
Altogether, Citic Securities aims to raise 8.16 billion yuan by disposing of 51 percent China Asset Management in five stages.
The brokerage has been seeking to reduce its stake in China's largest fund management company to 49 percent over the past year to meet regulatory requirements and pave the way for its listing in Hong Kong.

Manufacturing Solution Consultant, Sage X3
VP of Product, Sage X3
Process manufacturers are starting to bring capacity back home and that is exposing a skills gap schools and industry must work together to fill.
Process manufacturing is seeing fundamental change as customers are demanding a ‘wrap around’ service that opens up the opportunity for longer-term relationships, which extend beyond simply selling products.
According to Iain Lewis, Manufacturing Solutions Consultant at Sage X3, this shift towards ‘servitisation’ is being aided by digital technology.
Sophisticated software platforms allow savvy manufacturers to streamline operations beyond their own factory floor to allow customers to be kept up to date with orders and service queries.
The result is an industry that is beginning to look unrecognisable from a few years ago and working closer with customers to add new stages to the traditional manufacturing cycle.
“We’re moving away from the cycle of ‘make, sell and use’ to an industry that serves environmentally-aware customers far better and offers complete traceability to aid their social responsibility commitments,” says Lewis.
“That means the industry is now moving to a cycle of ‘make, sell, provision, service, refurbish, break down and recycle’. Process manufacturing doesn’t just provide goods anymore, it delivers on the customer’s desired outcome and, for that, they need a service. That requires not only suppliers to be connected on their platform, but also customers, so they can find out how their orders are progressing or when existing items are due to be serviced or replaced.”
Customers want to understand end-to-end processes
This move means every successful process manufacturer must now answer these questions: ‘Where do they provide customers the most value?’ and ‘Where is their unique selling point in the marketplace?’
“Process manufacturers need to organise themselves around the customer to find out where their clients see value and focus on that point, because different customers will have differing priorities that need to be addressed, now they are buying more than just goods on their own,” explains Rob Sinfield, VP of Product, Sage X3.
We’re moving away from the cycle of ‘make, sell and use’ to an industry that serves environmentally-aware customers far better and offers complete traceability to aid their social responsibility commitments.
Moving production processes closer to home
These changes in the industry are prompting many process manufacturers to rethink where their products are made and how far their supply chains reach.
One of the key findings from the recent “Riding The Wave Of Uncertainty” report, published by Sage, was that many are bringing production back to the UK or nearshoring it.
Production costs are rising in areas where manufacturing has traditionally been offshored.
Businesses are also feeling a need to bring production nearer to home where they have a greater control and visibility over sustainability and traceability, creating a demand for a wide variety of jobs and, at the same time, exposing a skills gap.
“Process manufacturers are telling us they see the skills gap as a risk and, like all organisations, they are keen to de-risk their operations,” adds Rob Sinfield.
Repetitive roles are being replaced by robots
“Part of the issue is that manufacturing has not traditionally been seen as a particularly ‘sexy’ industry to work in. We clearly need to tackle that because a lot of the repetitive jobs people may associate the field with are being replaced by robots. That moves people on to programme the robots, to design new systems, to get involved with marketing and understanding customers as well as liaising with executives in the supply chain. There is a far wider variety of roles in the industry now.”
For Sinfield the answer to closing the skills gap is clear. More work needs to be put into ensuring pupils leave school with STEM and business qualifications, and are then attracted by industry into apprenticeships.
This will ensure British process manufacturers can de-risk bringing production home, or nearer to home, and ensure they can work closer than ever with customers who are deserving a more rounded service rather than just a date their goods will be delivered.

Claire's Stores and 12 affiliated Debtors filed for Chapter 11 protection with the U.S. Bankruptcy Court in the District of Delaware, lead case number 18-10584. The Company, which retails specialty jewellery and accessories, is represented by Daniel J. DeFranceschi of Richards, Layton & Finger. According to documents filed with the Court, "The Debtors do not believe that their current balance sheet is sustainable over the long term. Indeed, the Debtors have approximately $1.4 billion in funded debt that will mature in approximately one year or less. The Debtors' levered balance sheet has had a corresponding impact on the Debtors' liquidity and growth." The Company enters Chapter 11 having executed a restructuring support agreement (RSA) with members of an ad hoc first lien group and its equity sponsor, Apollo Global Management. The RSA includes a term sheet outlining the material terms of a pre-negotiated plan of reorganization. Claire's Stores notes, "Among other things, the transactions contemplated by the Plan Term Sheet will substantially deleverage the Debtors' capital structure and bring the Debtors' otherwise healthy business into alignment with its operating environment." The pre-negotiated plan provides for the following: (i) a new money investment of up to $575 million, comprised of (a) a $75 million new exit ABL revolving credit facility, (b) a $250 million new exit first lien term loan and (c) up to $250 million of preferred stock or equity interests in the reorganized Debtors; and (ii) a substantial reduction of the Company's existing funded debt. The Company notes, "The transactions contemplated by the Plan Term Sheet provide for a comprehensive balance-sheet restructuring, effort to right-size the Debtors' footprint, preserve the going-concern value of the Claire's Group's businesses, and protect the jobs of thousands of the Debtors' employees."
Orion Healthcorp and 20 affiliated Debtors filed for Chapter 11 protection with the U.S. Bankruptcy Court in the Eastern District of New York, lead case number 18-71748. The Company, which provides outsourced business services to physicians, is represented by Thomas R. Califano of DLA Piper. According to a corporate release, the filing was initiated in order to "facilitate an orderly and efficient sale of its businesses." The Company is in active discussions with several interested parties, is working to finalize terms and expects to announce asset purchase agreement(s) in the near term. Businesses included in the Chapter 11 filings and related sale process are as follows: Allegiance and Orion Healthcorp, the Company's two revenue cycle management businesses; Integrated Physician Solutions, which contains both physician practice management and group purchasing capabilities; and the holding company for New York Network Management (NYNM). The NYNM independent practice association and management company that collectively provide contracting and credentialing services to independent New York physicians are not included in the filings, although they will be included in the sale process. "After evaluating a range of possible alternatives, Constellation has determined that our various business divisions will be better positioned for long-term growth and success under new ownership with the financial strength necessary to invest in their offerings and opportunities," said interim C.E.O. Timothy J. Dragelin. Orion Healthcorp has secured a commitment for $7.5 million in debtor in possession financing from Bank of America to support its ongoing operations during the sale process. A corporate release explains, "When the Board of Directors became aware that there were discrepancies in the Company's stated and actual earnings, it took immediate action, including removing a number of executives who participated in these activities and retaining outside legal and forensic accounting counsel to conduct an investigation of the matter."
China Fishery Group's ad hoc committee of senior noteholders filed with the U.S. Bankruptcy Court an objection to the Company's notice of sale of a non-debtor vessel. The committee asserts, "The Court should not sanction the Chapter 11 Trustee's proposed sale of the Damanzaihao because the proposed sale violates the Indenture and would provide a windfall to the Chapter 11 Trustee and CFG Peru Singapore's other stakeholders at the expense of the Senior Noteholders, which are SFR's only funded debt claim holders. Furthermore, to the extent that the Court does permit the Chapter 11 Trustee to sell the Damanzaihao, the Court should require the Chapter 11 Trustee to cause SFR to hold any resulting cash sale proceeds in a segregated account for the benefit of the Senior Noteholders, pending further order of the Court….The Chapter 11 Trustee has not demonstrated the ability or the intention to repay SFR any funds transferred to CFG Peru Singapore on account of the Damanzaihao sale. (defining fraudulent transfers as including transfers where 'the debtor would incur debts that would be beyond the debtor's ability to pay'). To the extent that the Chapter 11 Trustee seeks to transfer the Damanzaihao sale proceeds to CFG Peru Singapore pursuant to the Financing Order or otherwise, the Court should not sanction such value leakage and should instead require any such proceeds to be held in a segregated account for the benefit of the Senior Noteholders."
Real Industry filed with the U.S. Bankruptcy Court a motion to extend the exclusive period during which the Debtors have the exclusive right to file a Chapter 11 plan and solicit acceptances thereof through and including July 15, 2018 and September 13, 2018, respectively. The motion explains, "During the upcoming weeks and months, Real Industry will continue to work with major stakeholders to confirm its chapter 11 plan. Similarly, the Real Alloy Debtors will sell their assets and dissolve their estates pursuant to a resolution strategy that has the support of key creditor constituencies. Terminating exclusivity for either Real Industry or the Real Alloy Debtors risks disrupting the delicate status quo that the Debtors have worked so hard to achieve." The Court scheduled an April 26, 2018 hearing to consider the extension motion, with objections due by March 30, 2018.
Orexigen Therapeutics filed with the U.S. Bankruptcy Court a motion for an order approving bidding procedures and protections for the sale of substantially all assets of Debtor; approving procedures for the assumption, assignment and rejection of designated executory contracts and unexpired leases; scheduling an auction and sale hearing; approving forms and manner of notice of respective dates, times and places in connection therewith and approving the sale of the Debtors' assets free and clear of claims, liens and encumbrances. The motion explains, "Any such Stalking Horse Purchase Agreement shall include a minimum cash purchase price for the Purchased Assets of not less than $75,000,000. Break-Up Fee of up to 5% of its Stalking Horse Bid as set forth in its Stalking Horse Purchase Agreement and reimbursement of its reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses and disbursements not to exceed $2,000,000. Includes a minimum cash purchase price for the Purchased Assets of not less than $75,000,000." The following dates are fixed: bidding procedures hearing on April 5, 2018; bid deadline on May 21, 2018; auction on May 24, 2018; sale and assignment objection deadline on April 30, 2018; sale hearing on June 5, 2018 and deadline to close proposed sale transaction on July 2, 2018.

Beyond the lack of support from the United States’ citizens, the biggest reason that we lost was the lack of intel in regards to the enemy and the land. Before the Vietnam War, most of our wars had a very obvious enemy that we were fighting but this war was not the case. The most common enemy in this war which was referred to as North Vietnamese and they used a Guerrilla Warfare tactic and would blend in with the Vietnamese citizens. Guerrilla Warfare is also known as a hit and run tactic, the enemy would attack and then as quickly as they attacked they would disappear into the jungle without giving the United States the ability to mobilize and counter attack. The other tactic that the North Vietnamese that hurt the United States ability
The Vietnam War was one of the most deadliest wars in America, many were killed and even more injured. The war began because of America’s efforts to stop the spread of communism. The Vietcong may of won the war but America showed that we will not let communism spread, the domino theory come into effect, and America’s faults in our war program and way to attack the Vietcong. The war was lost but from a overview of the war America learned from their lose.
The Vietnam War was a conflict, which the United States involved itself in unnecessarily and ultimately lost. The basis of the conflict was simple enough: Communism vs. Capitalism, yet the conduct of the Vietnam War was complex and strategic, and brought repercussions which had never been seen before. The struggle between North and South had an almost inevitable outcome, yet the Americans entered the War optimistic that they could aid the falling South and sustain democracy. The American intentions for entering the Vietnam conflict were good, yet when the conflict went horribly wrong, and the resilient North Vietnamese forces, or Viet Cong' as they were known, refused to yield, the United States saw they were fighting a losing battle.
The war in Vietnam waged by America was unwinnable through the type of warfare that was used by the US . If they had concentrated on certain key aspects they may have prevented the spread of communism to South Vietnam and achieved their ultimate goal. Americas inability to obtain the “Hearts and Minds “of the Vietnamese led to a continual supply of fighters. The US was unable to fight against an ever-increasing civilian army. In Vietnam the US relied tremendously on their advanced and superior firepower to defeat the Vietcong and the ARVN. There technology and training was inadequate in the foreign Vietnamese terrain. The Vietnamese were allied to other communist nations, if their defeat was too humiliating
What did the United States lose in Vietnam? The United States lost many valuable resources in Vietnam , examples being people, their mental health, money. We lost respect, reputation, and pride from the war or “police action”. The United States did not leave the war without sacrifice, though we deserved most of what happened for our stupid decision in entering the war through police action. Losing people, money, respect among many other things is not anyone else's fault.
“Vietnam was lost in the living rooms of America, not on the battlefields of Vietnam”(Google.com). Some Americans against the government that send US army to Vietnam and they said Americans need to get out of Vietnam. Some Americans support US soldiers went to Vietnam and help south Vietnam which is anti-communist. During the Vietnam war, the two biggest lessons were the two groups in America which called Hawks and Doves that divided US and the student who also opposed the war in Vietnam.
Why did the United States Withdraw From the Vietnam War? The United States withdrew from the Vietnam War for several reasons. The Army had to fight in unfamiliar territory, was lacking in moral, were not prepared for the conditions, could not shut down the Ho Chi Minh Trail, and were untrained to respond to guerilla warfare. This combination of disadvantages and the loss of public support led to the United States withdrawing from Vietnam. The United States Army was forced to fight in a new land that had different weather and geography than the U.S., and put the army at a disadvantage from the beginning of the war. Vietnam is a very hot, tropical country, as it is fairly close to the equator. It has jungles over most of the land, bit also
How did the Unites States of America win all wars, but lose the war in Vietnam? The war in Vietnam lasted from November 1, 1955 till April 30, 1975. The War was between the North Vietnamese and the South Vietnamese. The Vietnam War all began with the government trying to unify Vietnam once again. The Unites States wasn't planning to join the war. Their original hope was for the French to defeat the North Vietnamese, but the French got defeated at Dien Bien Phu. By 1945 the French pulled out their army from the region and the U.S made the decision to take action.
The United States intervention in Vietnam is seen by the world as America’s greatest loss and longest war. Before the start of the war in Vietnam, the thought of the United States losing this war was unheard of because America was technologically superior, no country in south East Asia could contend with them. Lyndon B. Johnson announced that he would not be the president to allow South East Asia to go Communist . Why the United States lost the war has been a huge debate since the end of the war, because there were so many factors affecting why they lost; the war was a loss politically, after losing support from not only the American public but also the South Vietnamese and losing a political mandate for the war by 1973, when the last
The assessment of leadership can be a significant factor as to why America eventually lost the war. Essentially the leaders of the North, Ho Chi Minh and General Vo Ngygen Giap were prepared to fight for as many years as necessary to unify North Vietnam during Dien Biem Phu and the Second Indochina War. On the other hand, historical evidence clearly shows the RVN leadership had been unstable since Diem, as stated by Harrison “Within a decade, Diem had created a dictatorship so unpopular so as his own overthrow”. General Westmoreland failed and other respected generals failed to understand the Vietnamese and nature of war in the South, as a result led to Americas failure in Vietnam. America itself underwent multiple changes in Presidency through Kennedy Johnson and Nixon, and was forced to apply different approaches that had led of clear goals and coherent US foreign policy.
In the fallout of World War II, decolonization around the world was taking place after their colonial rulers had been wasted off any feasible measure to retain them. At the same time, the communist superpower of the USSR began a campaign to set up a buffer zone, otherwise called satellite states, against their former allies and the North American Treaty Organization (NATO). An feeling of mutual antagonism between the two created a global stalemate, and the only measurable way to demonstrate their power was in small conflicts: such as in Afghanistan for the Communists and Vietnam for the Americans. For America, their duel with the Communists lead to a strategy to hold Communist sympathies in controllable, isolated areas. The American
Imagine it’s 1939 and word hits you that war is waging throughout Europe. Now imagine being called off to war because the United States decided to join the war effort. Everyone else signed up and those who weren’t were drafted. Now imagine being on the front line. Bombs explode around you and bullets whizzing by your head as you try to take out the enemy. Suddenly everything turns black and you find you cannot wake up from this deathly sleep. Your mother and father are devastated as they bury you. What if your brother died too? What if your father had to go to war? What if the United States lost the war? As shown through this example war does not solve anything. War created more problems for this family. This is why we mustn 't rush to
On the 29th March 1973, the last American troops withdrew from South Vietnam. Taking place two months after the Paris Peace Accords were signed between the U.S., North Vietnam, South Vietnam and the Viet Cong, the final withdrawal ended eight years of direct American military involvement in Vietnam.
War is never pleasant for anyone, the shedding of blood and tears falling to the ground. The Vietnam war was no exception; both the North and South Vietnam and their ally, the United States used questionable tactics and equipment to survive and prevail in the war. Initially, the war was fought between North Vietnam and South Vietnam, but the US intervened, later on, to fight against communism(North Vietnam). The US had a crucial impact in the war, supplying South Vietnam with military and economic aid to win against North Vietnam. North Vietnam didn’t lose their composure, despite given this news and instead fought vigilantly to cause a stalemate between the two sides. Vietnam took a turn after this event, leading to an innumerable amount of deaths throughout the war. Like many wars, the question lies: was the
Strategic bombing, limited war, search-and-destroy strategies, supporting the corrupt indigenous governments - all proved useless in Vietnam. From than on, America would fight only where U.S. goals were clear, public support assured, power overwhelming, and thus victory certain.

- USD slips in risk-on market after Fed balance sheet pledge.
- USD tipped to win by ING given rate outlook, trade tensions.
- Societe Generale contemplates selling EUR/USD this week.
- Says Fed not doing QE, but ECB is, leaving EUR vulnerable.
- Rabobank says no U.S.-China deal, eyes more USD strength.
The Dollar was lower in a risk-on market Wednesday but is tipped to firm and then remain bid over the coming weeks as global risks remain elevated and because the Federal Reserve (Fed) at least appears unconvinced of any need for further interest rate cuts in the short-term.
America's greenback was lower and so-called risk assets higher after the Fed said it will soon take action on mechanical faults in interbank money markets that have created institutional funding pressures in recent weeks, and that have already led to interventions from the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. The proposed actions will reverse another set of measures that had put pressure on non-Dollar currencies last year while also boosting the greenback.
"Powell did not specify how many bills the Fed will buy in order boost bank reserves sufficiently to remove the strain in funding markets, but we'd expect to see something of the order of $500B," says Ian Shepherdson, chief economist at Pantheon Macroeconomics. "We understand why Mr. Powell wanted to "…emphasize that growth of our balance sheet for reserve management purposes should in no way be confused with the large-scale asset purchase programs that we deployed after the financial crisis", but any permanent increase in reserves beyond the rate of nominal GDP growth is an easing of monetary policy."
Above: Federal Reserve balance sheet grows as bond holdings increase with QE program.
The Fed had in the final quarter of 2017 began reversing the 'money printing' response of the crisis years by slowly taking back what it spent on government bonds as part of those efforts. But the 'balance sheet unwind' left the international financial system with a shortage of Dollars, which roiled financial markets that are sensitive to changes in the supply and cost of the greenback particularly developing economies, and lifted the Dollar in the process.
This year that Dollar shortage, in a roundabout way, began to cause ructions in some obscure U.S. markets and initially led the Fed to stop shrinking its balance sheet. But the bank went a step further Tuesday when Powell said it'll soon resume buying government bonds on a regular basis to ensure there's enough Dollars for those parts of the financial system to function effectively.
Put differently, the Fed had stopped reinvesting or re-lending the money returned to it by the government, in an effort to draw a line under a crisis policy response that was effectively a big monetary experiment. Instead of reinvesting, the Fed was cancelling the Dollars returned to it, but it now has to stop doing that. The bank will instead resume reinvestments, with one implication being that it may never be able to truly get its money back from the Treasury.
Above: Fed balance sheet shrinks as 'unwind' process gets underway.
"We think the broad value of the USD is trading weaker primarily because of the manner in which FX investors have digested Powell's remarks from late Tuesday. The timing of the announcement of a Bill-buying program may have been a surprise to many," says Stephen Gallo, European head of FX strategy at BMO Capital Markets. "FX investors should be cautious with their long-USD exposures for the time being. It looks like the focus for the rest of the week is going to be on US/China developments."
There's still much that is yet to be determined and it wasn't only the government that the Fed effectively loaned money to. The central bank also bought part of the mortgage market by picking up mortgage-backed-securities (bonds) alongside Treasuries, indirectly loaning money to home buyers too.
Nonetheless, the decision is a win for the global economy as well as for the U.S. This and analyst suspicions the bank is actually embarking on a fresh but covert quantitative easing program could explain why the Dollar sold off against risk currencies, while climbing relative to so-called safe havens on Wednesday. But some say the U.S. currency should firm up and remain 'bid' over the coming weeks due to the outlook for interest rates as well as the trade war.
"Expect more tough rhetoric between US & China ahead of tomorrow’s trade meeting and tonight also sees the release of Sep FOMC minutes. The Dot Plot already tells us there was much dissension over the 25bp cut, but poor US data since that meeting suggests it will take a lot to shake the market from its conviction (now 83% priced) that the Fed cuts again Oct 30th. Expect the dollar to stay bid against activity FX," says Chris Turner, head of FX strategy at ING.

Fed Chair Powell came across unconvinced Tuesday that there is any need for further rate cuts in the U.S., despite a duo of Institute of Supply Management (ISM) surveys released last week that showed manufacturing output hitting a decade low and troubles in the factory sector spilling over into the broader economy. Those surveys led markets to wager heavily that the Fed cuts rates this month for a third time to protect the economy.
Powell said nothing to vindicate the market's bets on Tuesday. He simply reiterated the Federal Open Market Committee view that a "sustained expansion of economic acitivity" is most likely, alongside a strong jobs market and inflation that "near" the supposedly symmetric 2% target. However, he did also say the bank would remain "data dependent", which means bad economic figures between now and month-end could yet push the bank into another rate cut.
"Fed asset purchases aren't QE if all they buy are short-dated Bills, whereas the ECB's resumption of asset purchases, really is QE. Knee-jerk dollar softness in response to Jay Powell's comments yesterday may allow EUR/USD to pop its nose back above 1.10. But that may provide an opportunity to go short," says Kit Juckes, chief FX strategist at Societe Generale.
Another factor to dictate the direction of Dollar exchange rates in coming days will be developments in trade talks between the U.S. and China, which are set to get underway on Thursday with Chinese officials negotiating while under a barrage of new hostile U.S. sanctions measures. The White House has blacklisted some Chinese companies this week and issued visa bans to some officials in response to allegations of human rights abuses in Xingjiang.

"We repeat our long-held view that there will be no substantive trade deal because this is NOT about trade; indeed, the US-China issue has moved from don’t-care Wall Street to do-care Main Street via the NBA – which is now banned in China after its president underlined he stands behind free speech. As one Chinese internet user notes: “US-China contact began via ping-pong, and ended with basketball,” says Michael Every, a strategist at Rabobank.
Hopes of a deal that averts two U.S. tariff increases planned for October 15 and December 15 had already been fading even before the visa ban and blacklistings, after Chinese officials said they're willing to do a deal that covers only areas where there is broad agreement. President Donald Trump wants a deal that covers all bases and might resort to lifting tariffs if he doesn't get one.
The two sides have been warring with tariffs and other measures for almost 18 months and on December 15, substantially all of China's U.S-bound exports will have been covered by tariffs if an agreement is not reached by then. That would be bad news for already-slowing economies across the world, but particularly those in Europe, which have arguably been hurt by the trade war more than either of its two protagonists.
"The risk of things going wrong (or stalemate) is higher than the riks of things going really well," BMO's Gallo says. "This leaves use rather neutral on EUR/USD and USD/CNH in the short run. We'd much rather be buying USDs on both axes north of 1.10 [EUR/USD] and at 7.10 [USD/CNH], respectively, until something changes our minds."

Amy Hennig, who created Uncharted, announces that she is developing a new Star Wars game.
Since EA lost exclusive rights to the franchise Star Wars for video game adaptations, projects follow one another in many studios, and a new kid has just appeared. It is Amy Hennig who announces it alongside Lucasfilm Games, and who teases us with a “highly cinematized action-adventure game“. In other words, this means that the game should depict a strong visual universe and contain an almost “cinematic” plot.
A mysterious game
For the moment, very few details are known about the content of the game or its release date, so we can imagine that it is still in an early phase of development and that it will only see the light of day in a few years. The developer, who is also behind the Uncharted franchise, says:
“I’ve often described how seeing Star Wars in 1977 essentially rewired my 12-year-old brain, indelibly shaping my creative life and my future. I’m thrilled to be working with Lucasfilm Games again to tell interactive stories in this galaxy I love..”
A major collaboration, but not unprecedented
This is indeed not the first collaboration between Amy Hennig and the firm of George Lucas since she had previously worked on the now aborted project called Ragtag. This was also a Star Wars game, developed by EA for almost 3 years, before the studio in charge of development was closed down for good. This had the consequence of simply stopping the ongoing activities of the studio, including this famous Ragtag project.
She is now taking her revenge with this new idea, developed this time by her Skydance New Media studio. On the side of Lucasfilm Games, Douglas Reilly declares to be excited at the idea of this promising collaboration: “Their vision of creating engaging and cinematic interactive entertainment makes this collaboration very exciting..”
Otherwise, apart from this news, we are also expecting three new Star Wars games from EA, including the sequel to Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order, but also Star Wars Eclipse, developed by Quantic Dream and which does not yet have a release date, but an already very promising trailer.

Google Celebrates Bram Stoker's 165th Birthday with 'Dracula' Doodle[PHOTOS]
Search Giant Google on Thursday celebrated the 165th birth anniversary of Irish novelist Bram Stoker, by an epitome of his classic gothic novel "Dracula" on its home page.
The latest doodle appeared in tune with Stoker's novel. The letters that make up the word 'Google' are displayed in red, giving the doodle an eerie feel. It also featured Dracula, flashing his fangs, and many other characters of the novel. A crescent-shaped moon and a bat flying overhead Dracula's castle completed the doodle.
Born on Nov 8, 1847, Stoker entered the world of literature with his first novel "The Primrose Path" in 1875. He had authored several books during his lifetime including "The Snake's Pass" and "The Shoulder of Shasta". He is best remembered for creating gothic villain 'Dracula' in 1897.

The epistolary novel did not create much enthusiasm during the first few years after the release. It was only after Stoker's death in 1912 did the book rise to fame. A hundred years since then, his book and the characters in it continue to enthral the world of film and literature.
Stoker inked the character of Dracula after years of research. He studied European folklore and mythological stories of vampires. Before setting off on writing the novel Stoker had met Hungarian writer and traveler Ármin Vámbéry. It was believed that the novel "Dracula" emerged from the dark stories told by Vámbéry.

The parking area of the Solda/Sulden cableway valley station is the starting point, at the base of Ortler/Ortles, Zebru´ and Gran Zebrù/Königspitze
From Bolzano/Bozen, main town of South Tyrol, take the road to Merano/Meran and continue along Val Venosta/Vinschgau valley to Spondigna/Spondinig. Turn left and proceed following the Solda/Sulden signs. For further details or for finding out the route from another departure, check out the interactive map
This ski tour should be done with due respect, as it’s far more difficult than the classic ascent from Pizzini hut. Particularly the part below the Königsjoch/Passo della Bottiglia
saddle is very steep and often in unfavourable snow conditions. Furthermore, the descent requires pretty good skiing ability. Last but not least, this variant requires quite a bit of endurance, as the elevation gain is nearly 2.000 meters.
Follow the ski slope, which is long and in itself boring but offers a fantastic view of Gran Zebrù/Königspitze N face
. When the ski slope turns left up to the cable way middle station, leave it and head SW, towards the Solda/Sulden glacier. Arriving at the bottom of Gran Zebrù/Königspitze let some huge seracs
left and continue towards the now evident Königsjoch/Passo della Bottiglia saddle, which probably represents the key passage of the tour. Face the very steep upper part of the NE flank
with crampons and skis on the backpack. From the saddle head W, loosing 30 – 40 vertical meters to another steep chute, which is visible on the right. Climb it up until you get the sholder, turn left and ascend the upper steep slope
which leads to the summit
The descent can be done on skis directly from the summit cross; it’s constantly steep and requires good technical skiing ability. Not far from the above mentioned shoulder, turn left and descend the E chute, which ends over the seracs at the base of the N face. After this exciting descent, you owe it to yourself to take a break
Complete ski mountaineering equipment, crampons, ice axe, if icy, a rope for the ascent to Königsjoch/Passo della Bottiglia could come in useful.
If you have information about this route that doesn't pertain to any of the other sections, please add it here.

THE SO-CALLED antrochoanal polyp, rising from the antral mucosa, has appeared to be clinically different in character from the usual nasal polyp although grossly similar in appearance.
One of us (H. L. W.)1 stated that the antrochoanal polyp seemed different to him for the following reasons: 1. Many of the antrochoanal polyps appear to arise from a small area of mucosa on the posterior superior wall of the affected antrum. 2. Often the choanal polyp is the only example of polypoid change occurring on either side of the nose, and, not infrequently, when the affected antrum is opened the stalk of the polyp is the only evidence of such change in the mucosa. 3. If the polyp is grasped in the nose or in the nasopharynx and avulsed, it frequently recurs, still maintaining its solitary character. 4. Nasal polyposis, in general, appears to be associated with symptoms and signs of

The Brazilian Army receives new units of the M109A5+ BR self-propelled combat artillery vehicle. Under the terms of the Foreign Military Sales contract, BAE Systems overhaul and upgrade 32 self-propelled howitzers to the M109A5+ configuration. BAE Systems has been awarded a $54 million contract to provide 32 upgraded M109A5+ self-propelled howitzers to the Brazilian Army. In addition, the company provided spares and training as well as live fire support and field service support following delivery. The upgrades are being made at Brazilian Army request. BAE Systems, the original howitzer manufacturer, is upgrading the A5 to the A5+ in the United States.
The 29th Self-Propelled Artillery Groups (29° Grupo de Artilharia de Campanha Autopropulsado, 29º GAC AP) will be one to receive units of the new vehicles. The field artillery group has built a new pavilion and incorporated an additional battery in order to increase its manpower. Personnel training has also been carried out in preparation for the new systems. The Brazilian Army began operations with its first M109A3 howitzer. In 2018, the EB began replacing its M109A3 fleet, dated from the early 2000s, with the M109A5 manufactured by BAE Systems. Brazil also operates 40 previous A3 variants purchased from the Belgian Army.
The vehicles included items specifically tailored to the Brazilian Army’s requirements. Developed to meet the army’s requirements, the new self-propelled M109A5+ BR has a longer range and features various improvements that reduce target engagement time by 80%. The guns feature an initial tube velocity gauge to enhance accuracy, as well as an improved positioning and navigation system, a command display unit, digital radios, a gun control system, and a remotely driven tube lock. The A5+ vehicles will also have a positioning and navigation system equipped with GPS and other navigation features independent of satellites.
The M109 is an American 155 mm turreted self-propelled howitzer, first introduced in the early 1960s to replace the M44. The M109 was developed by the Ground System Division of United Defense LP (now BAE Systems Land and Armaments). The M109 family is the most common Western indirect-fire support weapon of maneuver brigades of armored and mechanized infantry divisions. M109A5 replaces the 155 mm M185 Cannon in an M178 Mount with a 39-caliber 155 mm M284 Cannon in an M182 Mount, giving the A5 a maximum range of 22,000 meters with unassisted projectiles and 30,000 meters with Rocket Assisted Projectile (RAP) rounds. The vehicle can carry 36 complete rounds of ammunition and has a 440 hp engine instead of the standard 405 hp engine.

When a key aspect of our world does not change from one generation to the next, we get used to its not changing. If it then starts to change, but very slowly, we have a dangerous tendency not to notice—and when it speeds up a bit, so that it can no longer be overlooked, we have a much more dangerous tendency to pretend that it can safely be ignored. This is a fair summary of the history of life expectancy.
Currently, governments across the world are seeking ways to alleviate an increasingly imminent crisis—even a collapse—of a system that, when Bismarck invented it, imposed an almost negligible burden on the economy, and they are encountering massive resistance from their electorate, who prefer to keep things as they are.
I speak, of course, of the public pension system.

It was clear early on for Alan Bilzerian ("since 1967!") that what is required to more fully express a creative vision in fashion is not only artistic knowledge, but also the ability to produce. Each season Alan, Bé, and Harley Bilzerian travel to points unknown to gather new ideas and develop new directions in fashion with new designers and producers. Some ideas cannot be realized with an external partner, however, which leaves the work of presenting new ideas to the Bilzerians and their in-house staff of expert tailors and makers.
The Bilzerians source the finest fabrics and notions from Europe, Asia and elsewhere to make these ideas come to life; including but not limited to custom shirting, vests and waistcoats for men and custom underpinnings, tops, shirts, dresses, skirts, and stretch leather pants for women. Often these pieces will be matched with selections from a designer's collection with the goal of translating the designers' fantasy into a real world.

Washington, DC -- Refugees International (RI) expressed concern today over the Pakistani government’s announced plan to begin returns for thousands of displaced Pakistanis on July 13. The return plan is scheduled to last 14 days, with departure points set up in the Swabi and Mardan districts to bring people back to the Swat and Buner districts in the country’s North West Frontier Province. The government has announced that buses would be used to transport people, and that police escorts would be provided. It is unclear whether returning families would receive any further assistance from the government.
“The Pakistani government is sending people home far too early,” said Kristèle Younès senior advocate for Refugees International. “Displaced people should be the ones to determine whether it is safe for them to return, and we fear the government is not providing them with clear and accurate information.”
Only a small percentage of the displaced have so far returned home. The UN estimates that 21,500 displaced individuals from the Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA), out of a total of 550,000, have gone back to their districts. The military reports that over 40,000 internally displaced people have returned to Buner since mid-June. However, there is no reliable information on how many have returned home permanently.
A Return Task Force, which was to be composed of government officials and humanitarian agencies, has been created to monitor and evaluate the sustainability of returns. Currently, the task force is comprised of government and military authorities, with United Nation officials participating by invitation of the government, without inclusion of civil society. The task force needs to communicate plans for people to return home clearly and develop a means to identify areas for durable and safe return.
“The army’s definition of cleared zones does not necessarily translate into safe zones for civilians,” said Patrick Duplat, advocate for Refugees International. “The military needs to ensure public safety rather than coordinate returns. Lack of aid money and ongoing military operations appear to be driving the government to return vulnerable people prematurely rather than planning in their best interests.”
The government has a poor track record in ensuring safe returns. Last fall, the government of Pakistan pressured the displaced from Bajaur agency to return home and thousands of families were displaced a second time with the resurgence of military operations in the area. Moreover, the government has put pressure on civil servants from Malakand division, including Swat, to return to their posts in preparation for large scale return or face dismissal.
Refugees International is a Washington, DC-based organization that advocates to end refugee crises and receives no government or UN funding.
