Seven persons have been taken into custody in connection with the harassment of a noted South Indian film actress, police said here today, a day after Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan vowed stringent action.
Police had yesterday taken the driver of the actress' vehicle into custody soon after she complained about the ordeal she underwent the previous night while travelling from Thrissur to Kochi for dubbing.
The actress was allegedly harassed for two hours by a gang of men, who forced their way into her car before fleeing at a busy area here.
"Some people have been taken into custody. We would be able to talk about their role in the incident only after a proper verification", a top police officer told PTI.
Police had deputed its various teams to places including Coimbatore in search of at least six more culprits involved in the crime.
On Saturday, Vijayan said the gang members involved in the crime had been identified and they will be arrested very soon.
"Not a single culprit involved in the incident would be allowed to escape," Vijayan wrote in a Facebook post.
Expressing concern over the incident, he said a comprehensive probe was being held into it.
"Police is after the accused. The culprits have been identified," he added.
Vijayan said the culprits would be brought to book at any cost and warned those indulging in this kind of activities of stringent action.
In her police complaint, the actress had stated on Friday night, her car was hit from behind by a vehicle at Athani, between Aluva and Angamaly. The men, suspected to be five in number, forcefully entered her car and took control of it before proceeding to Kochi.
Kerala DGP Loknath Behera has constituted a joint investigation team comprising police personnel from Kochi city and Ernakulam rural to probe one of the sensational cases, following widespread condemnation of the incident.
Yesterday, he said the gang members involved in the crime have been identified and they will be arrested "very soon."
The actress' driver is suspected to have followed her car in the vehicle used by the gang members.
During the drive, the men harassed her, by clicking her pictures and making a video, she said in her complaint. After nearly two hours of drive through the Kochi city area, they left the actress in the car in Palarivattam and fled the scene.
She was later taken to the house of film director Lal in Thrikkakara by her driver.
Lal, who is also a noted film actor, confirmed that such incident had happened.
He, however, said he could not divulge more details as it would affect the investigation.
Police suspect that blackmailing was the motive behind the crime.
The incident has become a political issue with the BJP and the Congress strongly condemning "increasing incidents of attacks against women" in the state under CPI(M)-led LDF rule.
State BJP Chief Kummanam Rajasekharan said such incidents were on a rise in the state under the CPI(M) rule and it proves that Pinarayi Vijayan was a "failure" as Chief Minister.
He urged the Chief Minister to leave the Home portfolio, currently with him.
Leader of Opposition in the Kerala Assembly, Ramesh Chennithala, also expressed concern over the deteriorating law and order situation in the state and demanded tough action against the criminals targeting women.

Strauss Group Ltd. (TASE:STRS) is increasing its investment in China through the construction of a Chinese water systems plant. Strauss unit Strauss Water is making the investment through HSW, its joint venture with Haier Group.
HSW is investing 375m RMB (NIS 190 million) in the construction of a manufacturing and assembly plant for the company's products in China. The plant will be built in the city of Qingdao in eastern China on the Yellow Sea coast and is the first to be owned by the company in China.
The two-floor facility will cover 120,000 square meters. Construction is scheduled to be completed within a year. The plant will promote HSW's strategy of becoming a leader in the supply of POU (point-of-use) water solutions to the Chinese public. The new plant will place HSW on a par with the leading competitors in the market. Through Strauss Water, Strauss Group has already invested over NIS 48m in the Chinese JV in support of the realization of its strategy.
Strauss Group CEO Giora Bardea said, "As part of Strauss Group's global expansion we are continuing to invest in our business operations in China, strengthening our extensive collaboration with Haier Group. Investing in China precisely at this time also strengthens the connection between Israel and China, and reflects our great confidence in our business activities in China and in our relationship with Haier."
Strauss Water CEO Ronen Zohar, "At a time when hygiene and food safety are more important than ever, we see it as both a business and humanitarian mission to supply quality water systems to the Chinese public. This is especially true in regions where the corona virus has broken out. This investment in-house production, together with the development of innovation and engineering capabilities, will give the company greater flexibility in the development and production of innovative and unique products, faster market penetration and enable launch of high-quality products. This will significantly leverage our high-level competitive capabilities in a growing and evolving market."
HSW was established in 2010 as a partnership between Strauss Water and Haier Group, with the aim of penetrating the purified water market in China. Today, the company has the third largest market share in China and has recorded 35% average growth in the years 2014 to 2019.

Ed Pilkington in New York and Rory McCarthy in Jerusalem–
Inquiry finds Israel responsible for deaths, injuries and damage to UN buildings
A UN inquiry accused the Israeli military today of “negligence or recklessness” in its conduct of the war in Gaza.
The summary of the UN report, commissioned by the UN secretary general, Ban Ki-moon, censured the Israeli government for causing death, injuries and damage to UN property in seven incidents involving action by the Israeli Defence Force (IDF).
It said: “The board concluded that IDF actions involved varying degrees of negligence or recklessness with regard to United Nations premises and to the safety of United Nations staff and other civilians within those premises, with consequent deaths, injuries, and extensive physical damage and loss of property.”
However, in a blow to human rights campaigners, Ban said there would be no further investigation despite the report calling for a full impartial inquiry.
Although the full, 184-page findings of the UN board of inquiry will not be made public, the 27-page summary emphasised that UN premises are inviolable, and that inviolability cannot be set aside by the demands of military expediency.
“UN personnel and all civilians within UN premises, as well as civilians in the immediate vicinity of those premises, are to be protected in accordance with the rules and principles of international humanitarian law,” the summary says.
Among the incidents for which the Israeli government is held responsible are:
â€¢ The deaths of three young men killed by a single IDF missile strike at the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) Asma school in Gaza City on 5 January;
â€¢ The firing of heavy IDF mortar rounds into the UNRWA Jabalia school on 6 January, injuring seven people sheltering in the school and killing up to 40 people in the immediate vicinity;
â€¢ Aerial bombing of the UNRWA Bureij health centre on the same day causing the death of a patient and serious injuries to two others;
â€¢ Artillery firing by the IDF into the UNRWA field office compound in Gaza city on 15 January that in turn caused high explosive shells to explode within the compound causing injuries and considerable damage to the buildings. The summary notes that it disrupted the UN’s humanitarian operations in Gaza;
â€¢ Artillery firing by the IDF into the UNRWA Beit Lahia school on 17 January, causing the deaths of two children
â€¢ Aerial bombing by the IDF of the Unesco compound on 29 December causing damage to UN buildings and vehicles.
In his accompanying letter to the summary, Ban noted that the Israeli government had significant reservations and objections to the document. He said he was reviewing the inquiry boards recommendations “with a view to determining what courses of action, if any, I should take”.
Those recommendations include demanding from the Israeli government that it retract earlier claims that Palestinians had been firing at the IDF from within UN premises, and that the UN should pursue Israel for reparations and reimbursement for all expenses incurred. Those reparations would cover the death or injury of UN personnel or third parties, and the repair of UN property.
Israel had dismissed the report, given to an Israeli foreign ministry official, as “tendentious” and “patently biased”.
The UN investigation is the first into the war, and looked only at deaths, injuries and damage caused at UN sites in Gaza during the three-week conflict.
The document was compiled by a board of inquiry – a team of four led by Ian Martin, a Briton who is a former head of Amnesty International and a former UN special envoy to East Timor and Nepal.
Israel’s foreign ministry attempted to pre-empt the report today, saying the Israeli military had already investigated its own conduct during the war and “proved beyond doubt” that it did not fire intentionally at UN buildings. It dismissed the UN inquiry.
“The state of Israel rejects the criticism in the committee’s summary report, and determines that in both spirit and language the report is tendentious, patently biased, and ignores the facts presented to the committee,” the foreign ministry said in a statement.
It said the inquiry had “preferred the claims of Hamas, a murderous terror organisation, and by doing so has misled the world”.
International human rights groups including Human Rights Watch and Amnesty International have accused Israel’s military and Palestinian militant groups of serious violations of international law and possible war crimes during the conflict.
The UN board of inquiry report has limited scope: it is confined to investigating death or injuries or damage at UN buildings or during UN operations. The UN human rights council is also to dispatch a fact-finding mission to Gaza, but Israel has already suggested it will not co-operate, saying the council is biased.

Our Services & Special Expertise
Associated Consulting Engineering, Incorporated (ACEI) offers integrated mechanical and electrical engineering services. Our special expertise lie in systems design and analysis, programming, value engineering, life cycle cost anaylsis, energy conservation and alternative energy.
Systems Design & Anaylsis
This work includes the careful study of design alternatives through the use of systems analysis, by which the overall project is broken down to a series of building systems which can be objectively reviewed and analyzed with respect to alternative criteria, as well as construction cost. Such a review gives you, the Client, the opportunity to become involved with an objective review of alternatives at all points of design and results in a better utilization of total dollars budgeted on the project, as well as the entire team being more aware of the design alternatives at each step of the work.
Our firm has continued to become more deeply involved with the initial programming phase of the work to assure our client that the final construction best represents the solution to the project needs both present and future. On most projects, we highly recommend mechanical and electrical participation in preparation of the building programming.
We believe that in doing this work we can best assist in the critical step of space analysis and consideration of design alternatives. However, if a program has already been prepared, we would recommend a brief review to assure all concerned that appropriate mechanical and electrical accommodations have been made.
Our personnel have attended value engineering training seminars and have extensive experience in applying value engineering principals to the design of mechanical and electrical systems.
Life Cycle Cost Analysis
Our personnel have long been convinced that design decisions should be based upon more than just the knowledge of initial construction costs. We normally assist the Client in programming, operating and maintenance costs on alternatives, and even site alternatives. With our computer capabilities, 20 to 40 year life cycle printouts can then easily demonstrate to the Client what the basis for his proper decision should be.
Energy Conservation & Alternative Energy
One of the most important considerations in building projects today is that of energy management and conservation. We have long been concerned with these work items as a part of each building project, and we therefore, always insist that a rather comprehensive analysis be done in the schematic design phase that will analyze the design alternatives. This would include a system design for energy savings, recapture concepts and a computer calculated comparative fuel analysis if it is applicable.
Energy conservation has been a priority in our design for many years. In recent years we have assisted many clients in development of an energy conservation program. Visit our Energy Conservation page to learn more about energy savings.
There are many alternative energy systems which should be evaluated to determine their practicality. These have included solar, geothermal (ground water heat pump), waste product recycling, and thermal ice storage systems.

The green flash (photo above by TheBrockenInaGlory) has been seen at sunset by a few lucky people. Under the right conditions, the atmosphere behaves like a prism, separating the last solar light via refraction, so that the final trace of the Sun is green (blue light is scattered too much to be visible). This rare atmospheric phenomenon forms the backdrop to Jules Verne’s 1882 novel The Green Ray:
“All eyes were again turned towards the west. The sun seemed to sink with greater rapidity as it approached the sea; it threw a long trail of dazzling light over the trembling surface of the water; its disk soon changed from a shade of old gold, to fiery red, and, through their half-closed eyes, seemed to glitter with all the varying shades of a kaleidoscope. Faint, waving lines streaked the quivering trail of light cast on the surface of the water, like a spangled mass of glittering gems.
Not the faintest sign of cloud, haze, or mist was visible along the whole of the horizon, which was as clearly defined as a black line traced on white paper.
Motionless, and with intense excitement, they watched the fiery globe as it sank nearer and nearer the horizon, and, for an instant, hung suspended over the abyss. Then, through the refraction of the rays, its disk seemed to change till it looked like an Etruscan vase, with bulging sides, standing on the water. There was no longer any doubt as to the appearance of the phenomenon. Nothing could now interfere with this glorious sunset! Nothing could prevent its last ray from being seen!
The sun was just half way below the horizon, and its powerful rays were shot across the sky like golden arrows; in the distance the cliffs of Mull and the summit of Ben More were bathed in brilliant, purple light.
At last only a faint rim of gold skimmed the surface of the sea.
‘The Green Ray! The Green Ray!’ cried in one breath the brothers, Dame Bess, and Partridge, whose eyes for one second had revelled in the incomparable tint of liquid jade.”

Springfield Area Chamber of Commerce issued the following announcement on Dec. 8.
The Chamber has wrapped up its third annual Reach Campaign, and thanks to your generous support and the hard work of nearly 100 volunteers, we’ve set new records in both funds raised and the number of companies purchasing sponsorships for 2019.
The fundraising total for this year’s campaign surpassed last year by more than 30 percent. These funds will help the Chamber continue our critical work supporting and assisting existing businesses, stimulating job creation and growth, and working to improve the quality of life for all of our area’s residents.
Just as importantly, nearly 300 companies purchased a sponsorship or marketing opportunity through this year’s campaign. That’s an increase of more than 10 percent from last year – and it means that more of our members recognize the potential to increase their visibility by supporting a Chamber program or initiative.
“We work diligently every day to create an environment where local businesses and individuals can thrive, but we couldn’t do that work without the support of our members,” said Chamber President Matt Morrow. “We are so grateful for the work of our volunteers in reaching out to member organizations to show them the opportunities that are available, and to those organizations for making the commitment to support us next year.”
Speaking of those programs and initiatives, there are a couple of new ones on the list for 2019. Be on the lookout for these events on next year’s calendar:
- SGForum – This new summit-style event from The Network will bring together young professionals from across the Springfield area in June to hear from dynamic speakers and end the day with a fun afterparty for YPs and the young-at-heart.
- 100th Anniversary Gala – The Chamber celebrates its 100th birthday in 2019, and we’ll be celebrating in style with a special black-tie optional event in October.

Shen Fuzong [Michael Alphonsus] (c.1658–1691), traveller and convert to Christianity, was born at Nanking (Nanjing) in Kiangnan (Jiangnan) province along the southern side of the Yangtze (Yangzi) River in the Qing empire. His father, a physician, probably converted to Catholicism in the 1670s. Following this the young Shen received a Christian baptismal name and met the Flemish Jesuit Philippe Couplet, who was based near Nanking. Shen clearly had some education in classical Chinese and could certainly read and write respectably, although it is unclear if he ever had ambitions to take the official exams. He also learned some Latin and was selected to join Couplet on a trip to Europe to promote the activities of the mission.
Couplet and Shen left the Portuguese settlement at Macau on 4 December 1681. After enduring a shipwreck and a long stay in Batavia, they arrived in Enkhuysen in the Netherlands in October 1683. They travelled to Paris in September 1684 for an audience with Louis XIV, who among other things turned the Versailles fountains on for them. They sparked Louis’s interest in sponsoring a French Jesuit mission to China in 1685 to circumvent the political and ideological battles among those who administered the Portuguese padroado (or right of ecclesiastical patronage in the Indies), the Jesuits, the Propaganda Fide (office for the propagation of the faith or inquisition), the cardinals, and the papacy. By December the two were in Rome, where audiences with the Jesuit father general and Queen Christina of Sweden came quickly. They waited until June 1685 to see Pope Innocent XI. If France had been a success, Rome was largely not. The visit seems to have encouraged the Propaganda Fide to ban the use of ancestral rites by Christian converts in the so-called Confucian tradition because they were deemed religious rather than civil ceremonies—a severe blow to Jesuit conversion strategies. This turn of events encouraged Couplet and Shen to extend their stay in Europe, spending more time in Paris where Shen aided Couplet and Melchisédech Thévenot in putting together clavis sinica (‘the key to China’) and planning a trip to England, where they also hoped to find a sympathetic ear.
Shen left Couplet in Paris and went to London with the Jesuit Spinola in March 1687. The publication of the declaration of the indulgence in April 1687 and James II’s evident commitment to the promotion of Catholicism made this an opportune time to visit. Shen witnessed the reception of the Catholic vicar apostolic, John Leyburn, and papal nuncio, Ferdinand d’Adda, in London and had an audience with the English king. James requested that Godfrey Kneller paint Shen’s portrait. It subsequently hung in the room adjacent to the king’s bedchamber. Considered one of Kneller’s finest, it shows Shen in Chinese robes holding a crucifix and gesturing towards it with his other hand while he looks outward to the natural light coming through the window and illuminating his face—a statement about conversion, natural religion, and iconography that resonated strongly with current debates in both England and Europe about confessionalism and enlightenment. James also expressed an interest in the ‘Book of Confucius’ compiled by Couplet, who joined Shen some time after December 1687, wishing according to Anthony Wood to know what kind of philosophy it contained and ‘whether the Chinese had any divinity’ (Hearne, 360).
Shen apparently met the Orientalist and Bodley’s librarian Thomas Hyde in London, subsequently writing to him from there on 25 May 1687. Shen travelled to Oxford for the summer and helped Hyde with several projects on Chinese measurement, calendrical practices, and games by producing both translations and samples of Chinese writing for copperplate engravings. He is mentioned by name in Hyde’s Ludis orientalibus (1693–4) and Hyde’s appendix to Edward Bernard’s De mensuris (1688). Thanks to the initial efforts of Thomas Bodley, from its inception the Bodleian Library had begun to amass a significant collection of Chinese books. Shen’s knowledge of both Chinese and Latin enabled him to make translations of the titles of Chinese books and manuscripts for Bernard’s Catalogi librorum manuscriptorum Angliae et Hiberniae (1697). In a number of books and manuscripts Hyde referred to his collaborator variously as ‘our Native Chinese’ and ‘amicus charissimus’. Surviving letters as well as the products of their collaboration suggest a friendly relationship based on scholarly work and a mutual contempt for the ambitions of court.
For the rest of his residence in England Shen corresponded with Hyde from London. In April 1688 he left London for Lisbon with Spinola and Couplet. They missed the Portuguese fleet sailing for Goa and when the Propaganda Fide forbade Spinola and Couplet from returning to China with Shen, decided to remain in Lisbon. While there Shen became a Jesuit novice, and he finally left for Goa with a group of German Jesuits in the spring of 1691. A shipboard epidemic killed Shen on 2 September 1691 off Mozambique.
Shen was not the first visitor to Europe from China nor was he probably the first Chinese person to visit England, as records of East India Company voyages indicate Chinese diaspora merchants living in Bantam would replace English and other sailors lost on the arduous voyage. Nevertheless, Shen had the greatest impact on both Chinese scholarship and courtly politics in Europe and particularly in England of any traveller from China during the period.

What is Macular Degeneration?
Macular degeneration is a condition that causes progressive loss of central vision, most commonly in people over 50 years of age. Central vision is the vision we use when looking directly at an object. We use our central vision to see fine detail and perform tasks such as reading, driving and recognising faces. Macular degeneration does not lead to total blindness as the peripheral (side) vision is not affected.
You are using your macula and your central vision as you read this print. The macula is part of the retina at the back of your eye. Neil and Jason can check your macula using a number of techniques, which may include viewing the macula with special instuments or taking a macula photo.
Regular eye tests (every two years) are important, because you might be developing macular degeneration and not know it. It does not cause pain, and central vision may remain clear, or be only slightly blurry at first. If you ever experience a sudden change in your vision, such as sudden blur (especially if it is only one eye) or distortions in your vision, get your eyes checked by an optometrist or ophthalmologist without delay.
What is Glaucoma?
Glaucoma is an eye disease in which the optic nerve at the back of the eye becomes damaged and slowly dies over time. In the early stages there are usually no symptoms (although eye pain can be experienced in certain types of glaucoma).
It is estimated that 300,000 people in Australia currently have glaucoma. 150,000 of these people do not know that they have it.
Glaucoma is often, but not always, related to increased pressure of the fluid inside the eye. Checking the pressure of the eye is one important test we do to check for glaucoma but this measurement alone is not enough to diagnose the disease. The heath of the optic nerve at the back of the eye also needs to be assessed. Further tests may also be needed, such as a visual field test, retinal photo, measurement of corneal thickness, or optic nerve scan (Optical Coherence Tomography - OCT).
Glaucoma leads to loss in peripheral (side) vision, which eventually can become tunnel vision. It can lead to total blindness if left untreated.
Although glaucoma usually progresses slowly it is important that it is detected early as once vision is lost it cannot be restored.
Glaucoma is most commonly treated with eye drops to lower the pressure in the eye. It is also sometimes treated surgically.
What are Cataracts?
Cataracts are an opacity or discoloration of a structure called the lens which is found inside the eye behind the iris (the coloured part of the eye) and pupil. Cataracts do not grow across the front of the eye.
Cataracts are most commonly caused by aging - just as your skin changes as you age so does the lens of the eye. The lens is usually clear like a glasses lens at birth, and becomes more hazy and yellowed throughout your lifetime. Eventually it becomes more difficult to see through the lens, causing blurry vision and increased problems with glare. This may not be as noticeable as you would think because the cataract forms slowing over many years, allowing a person to get used to their vision not being as clear as it once was. For many people, one of their first symptoms of cataract is increasing difficulty reading small print, even when wearing their glasses. It is common to have some degree of cataract by age 60 even though the cataract may be having no impact on day to day vision at this time.
Cataracts are treated by surgical removal by an ophthalmologist (eye surgeon). Our optometrists, Neil and Jason, can examine your eyes for cataracts, monitor the progression of your cataracts, and provide referral to a local ophthalmologist for for treatment as required.

The atmosphere temperature along with natural gases is the significant reasons why global warming could make half of the world’s inhabited areas too hot to live in. Fossil fuels are from natural resources such as coal, petroleum and natural gas, which are used for cars, planes, all modern products, and industrial chemicals. However, by burning fossil fuels, which release greenhouse gases can lead to trapping all the gases and heat within the atmosphere causing serious environmental problems. For example, Human activities such as driving a car will release greenhouse gases. Another example, the more electricity or energy is being used; the more carbon dioxide will release. With more carbon dioxide in the air, the earth’s temperature will keep increasing.
One of the biggest problems that are causing global warming is sea level rising. The heat of thermal expansion is melting glaciers and sea ice, which is resulting in the flooding of low-lying coastal areas and cities. The journalist Jennifer Weeks analyzes, “When the In...

...sity increased, and exotic species are dying. Humanity must act now to reduce of global warming. There are many ways in which humans can make small changes that will make huge differences if everyone contributes. Some of the changes necessary involve reigning in on deforestation. One solution is to stop producing carbon dioxide, by switching from oil or gas to renewable energy. Second solution is to plant more trees; therefore, the tree can absorb carbon dioxide to produce clean oxygen. Third solution would be to use less energy and recycle because using less electricity can produce less carbon dioxide. Regardless of whatever methods are utilized; the fate of the Earth depends on society realizing its mistake and takes responsibilities to create a safer environment. Let us take actions to build a new, clean, and peaceful world for ourselves and later generations.

NCP - Nursing Care Plan for Stevens Johnson Syndrome
Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS) is an immune-complex–mediated hypersensitivity complex that is a severe expression of erythema multiforme. It is known by some as erythema multiforme major, but disagreement exists in the literature. Most authors and experts consider Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS) and toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN) different manifestations of the same disease. For that reason, many refer to the entity as SJS/TEN. SJS typically involves the skin and the mucous membranes. While minor presentations may occur, significant involvement of oral, nasal, eye, vaginal, urethral, GI, and lower respiratory tract mucous membranes may develop in the course of the illness. GI and respiratory involvement may progress to necrosis. SJS is a serious systemic disorder with the potential for severe morbidity and even death. Missed diagnosis is common.
Although several classification schemes have been reported, the simplest breaks the disease down as follows :
- Stevens-Johnson syndrome - A "minor form of TEN," with less than 10% body surface area (BSA) detachment
- Overlapping Stevens-Johnson syndrome/toxic epidermal necrolysis (SJS/TEN) - Detachment of 10-30% BSA
- Toxic epidermal necrolysis - Detachment of more than 30% BSA
Causes of Stevens Johnson Syndrome
Stevens Johnson Syndrome is thought to arise from a disorder of the immune system.
It can be caused by infections (usually following infections such as herpes simplex virus, influenza, mumps, cat-scratch fever, histoplasmosis, Epstein-Barr virus, mycoplasma pneumoniae or similar).
It can be caused by adverse effects of drugs (allopurinol, diclofenac, etravirine, Isotretinoin, aka Accutane, fluconazole, valdecoxib, sitagliptin, oseltamivir, penicillins, barbiturates, sulfonamides, phenytoin, azithromycin, oxcarbazepine, zonisamide, modafinil, lamotrigine, nevirapine, pyrimethamine, ibuprofen, ethosuximide, carbamazepine, nystatin, and gout medications).
Although Stevens–Johnson Syndrome can be caused by viral infections, malignancies or severe allergic reactions to medication, the leading cause appears to be the use of antibiotics and sulfa drugs.
Medications that have traditionally been known to lead to SJS, erythema multiforme and toxic epidermal necrolysis include sulfonamides (antibiotics), penicillins (antibiotics), barbiturates (sedatives), lamotrigine and phenytoin (e.g. Dilantin) (anticonvulsants). Combining lamotrigine with sodium valproate increases the risk of SJS.
Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs are a rare cause of SJS in adults; the risk is higher for older patients, women and those initiating treatment. Typically, the symptoms of drug-induced SJS arise within a week of starting the medication. People with systemic lupus erythematosus or HIV infections are more susceptible to drug-induced SJS.
SJS has also been consistently reported as an uncommon side effect of herbal supplements containing ginseng. SJS may also be caused by cocaine usage.
In some East Asian populations studied (Han Chinese and Thai), carbamazepine- and phenytoin-induced SJS is strongly associated with HLA-B*1502 (HLA-B75), an HLA-B serotype of the broader serotype HLA-B15. A study in Europe suggested that the gene marker is only relevant for East Asians. Based on the Asian findings, similar studies were performed in Europe which showed 61% of allopurinol-induced SJS/TEN patients carried the HLA-B58 (B*5801 allele - phenotype frequency in Europeans is typically 3%). One study concluded "even when HLA-B alleles behave as strong risk factors, as for allopurinol, they are neither sufficient nor necessary to explain the disease."

TAB New Zealand has today announced its direct funding to the domestic racing industry will reach a record-setting $215 million for the upcoming 2023/24 racing season.
TAB NZ’s direct funding of racing is made up of a distribution payment to Racing New Zealand, the application of class 4 gaming proceeds to the Racing Authorised Purpose, and funding of the independent Racing Integrity Board.
Today’s announcement sees a further $30 million made available to the three racing codes in addition to the increases determined at the time the Minister for Racing, Hon Kieran McAnulty, approved TAB NZ’s strategic partnering arrangement with Entain.
Nick Roberts, Chief Executive Officer of TAB NZ, said the Entain partnership is a revolutionary moment for racing and one that will deliver the ultimate goal of a long-term, sustainable racing industry.
“TAB NZ recognises bold funding decisions are required to sustain this storied industry for generations to come,” Mr Roberts says.
“Leadership across the industry must own the moment and deliver a right-sized industry, with the best animal welfare standards, and a compelling customer product.”
“This extra injection will deliver the best outcomes if it is targeted towards those types of initiatives that enhance the industry in the long run. Simply increasing the funding of the status quo is not sustainable.”
The increased funding comes from an additional $15 million being added to the TAB NZ distribution to Racing NZ for the 2023/24 racing season, raising it to $185 million – a $60 million increase, almost 50%, on the current season’s distribution of $125 million.
Additionally, TAB NZ has determined that it will no longer fund the Racing Integrity Board from its class 4 gaming operation which will allow a contestable fund of $15 million for applications under TAB NZ’s Racing Authorised Purpose.
“We’re keen to back those that are in relentless pursuit of sustainable outcomes – and we expect that will be a key consideration when determining future funding applications,” Mr Roberts says.
“A month into the partnership with Entain, we are deeply encouraged by some of the announcements we have seen out of the industry – especially New Zealand Thoroughbred Racing’s Strategic Funding Document announced two weeks ago.”

TAB NZ is deeply ingrained in New Zealand's culture, and, by betting with TAB NZ on racing or sport, you contribute to fuelling the future of racing codes and sporting organisations across New Zealand.

It's probably no secret to people who read this blog often, but I'm a huge Francisco Liriano fan. While I feel nervous about what to expect from a number of Twins players this season, I feel supremely confident that Liriano will be one of the top pitchers in the American League.
He's 27, he's four years removed from surgery and -- for the first time in his Twins career -- he's had a full offseason to rest up. No rehab from injury, no winter ball. Liriano's arm should be as strong as ever this year, and that should help him last deeper into games and avoid wearing down at the end of the season again.
In 2010, Liriano was one of the most dominant pitchers in the league, but his ERA and win/loss record stayed in check -- in part due to an inflated batting average on balls in play. His unremarkable core numbers have made him something of a well-kept secret, but that secret is likely to get out this year if his BABIP normalizes and he keeps racking up the strikeouts and ground balls.
If that's the case, the Twins may be missing their last chance to lock up the left-hander at a reasonable rate by opting for a one-year deal to avoid arbitration. I've been calling a long-term contract for Liriano the team's top priority since last August, but it seems that -- like with so many things this offseason -- the Twins brass sees it differently than me.
While chatting with fellow TwinsCentric blogger Seth Stohs at Twins Fest, Bill Smith acknowledged the downside of going year-to-year with Liriano: "We definitely recognize the risk in doing that and if he has another big year, it will cost us some money."
I don't presume the Twins want to cost themselves money, so the above quote indicates to me that they're not fully confident in the durability of Liriano's arm. I have a hard time understanding why, given that he's averaged 175 innings in his three seasons since Tommy John surgery and was hitting 96 mph in the playoffs last year, but I guess they have more insight on the subject than me. It's fair to say his arm is fragile; he had a lengthy injury history prior to his torn ligament (part of the reason the Twins got him so cheaply) and does go through periodic dead arm spells.
But those facts are all the more reason for Liriano to accept a multiyear deal right now and guarantee himself the first big payday of his career. Hammering out a contract with Liriano two years from free agency and coming off a good-not-great season gives the Twins an opportunity to negotiate from a position of leverage, but for whatever reason they seem perfectly willing to pass on it. I suppose I shouldn't get too worked up about it -- it's not my money -- but I wonder about the implications if Liriano goes on to enjoy a healthy and spectacular 2011 campaign, as I expect he will.
With core numbers that match his ace-caliber peripherals, he would become a much hotter commodity, viewed around the league in the same category as David Price, CC Sabathia and Cliff Lee. And, with only one more year standing between Liriano and free agency, leverage will have shifted largely to his side. At that point, the Twins will face the difficult decision of meeting the potentially exorbitant demands of Liriano's agent, or risking the loss of another prime-aged lefty ace.
Of course, if Liriano doesn't have a great year, these points are mostly moot and it probably ends up being a fine decision. I admit that my opposition to this course of action is completely vested in the notion that he'll take another step forward this year, which could easily be wrong. Maybe he'll get hurt. But injuries are almost impossible to predict for pitchers. When the Twins handed totally unnecessary long-term contracts to Scott Baker and Nick Blackburn, both of those pitchers seemed to be in fine health, but neither has had a fully healthy or productive season since inking the dotted line. Given an opportunity to gain similar cost certainty with Liriano, a far more irreplaceable asset, it appears they'll opt to let things play out year-by-year, gambling that the southpaw won't continue his ascent and price himself right out of their budget.
Between Baker, Blackburn, Joe Mauer, Nick Punto, Brendan Harris, Joe Nathan and Michael Cuddyer, the Twins have handed out a lot of bloated contract extensions to their own players in recent years that haven't turned out to be particularly team-friendly (at least so far). Liriano's situation struck me as a chance to buck that trend. Whiffing on the opportunity to reach a long-term pact with the only ace-caliber pitcher in the entire organization on somewhat team-friendly terms while his value is superficially low hits me as another misguided decision in an offseason that has featured far too many.

My interests are in understanding the mechanisms by which the early embryo and nervous system develop. As an academic Neonatologist with a doctorate in Neurobiology, I provide intensive care for our most fragile children in the Comer Children's NICU as well as have an active research group and laboratory as part of the Grossman Institute for Neuroscience, Quantitative Biology and Human Behavior.
Development throughout embryogenesis and fetal life is accomplished through an array of complex morphogenetic programs. It is the coordinated action of these programs that results in the formation of discrete tissues and organs from unspecified populations of progenitor cells. Despite our numerous advances in understanding early embryonic and fetal life, a more thorough understanding of the underlying molecular and cellular mechanisms involved is essential in the diagnosis and eventual treatment of complex congenital disorders.
Our research program focuses upon the mechanisms that embryologic cell populations employ to pattern and instruct their environment. The experimental paradigms of my work employ classical embryological approaches combined with evolving genetic manipulations to interrogate cell signaling and patterning in real time and at high resolution with advanced imaging techniques.

What Are The Risks And Side Effects Of Coolsculpting
Even though CoolSculpting is considered to be a relatively safe procedure, your treatment may come with a few side effects. During the process, you might experience a tugging or pinching sensation, intense cold, aching, or cramping around the area youre targeting.
In the days after your procedure, you may experience some redness, swelling, pain or tenderness, bruising, stinging, soreness, itching, or skin sensitivity, all of which should improve within a few days, but can persist for a few weeks. You might also notice a feeling of fullness in your throat if you decide to target the area around your neck or chin, or diarrhea as your body tries to get rid of the dead fat cells.
And remember, this is still a cosmetic procedure, and things can go wrong. One writer revealed that her treatment actually left concave indents on her outer thighs.
More serious complications include frostbite, hyperpigmentation of the treatment area, and scarring. These are rare and typically occur when the procedure is done incorrectly or with an inauthentic CoolSculpting device, says Dr. Waldorf. If youre worried about the side effects, make sure you discuss them with your doctor before you commit.
Free Consultation For Coolsculpting Nyc
For more information on pricing and treatment plan, contact the office today for a consultation. For new patients, the cost of the consultation will be credited towards your first CoolSculpting procedure. CoolSculpting is a unique treatment for each individual patient, and Dr. Green will work with you from the beginning of your CoolSculpting treatment plan to determine the number of treatments and the applicator type that will work best for you. From your very first appointment, whether in person in our NYC office or via virtual visit, Dr. Green will give you an honest assessment of your treatment area and your goals, and provide full transparency on what treatment plan will work best for you.
Are You Looking For A More Natural Solution
Procedures that use laser, sonic waves and even surgery to remove fat can actually destroy other tissue in the process by burning, shattering or extracting non-fat cells. This requires downtime for your body to heal. Totally uncool.
Fortunately, the CoolSculpting procedure doesnt burn, shatter or extract any cells. Developed by Harvard scientists, this unique, FDA-cleared, patented procedure uses a targeted cooling process that kills the fat cells underneath the skin, literally freezing them to the point of elimination. Only fat cells are frozen. Your healthy skin cells remain, well, healthy. No knives. No suction hoses. No needles. No scars. Once crystallized, the fat cells die and are naturally eliminated from your body. In a few months, boom: say hello to a new you.

Weight Loss Versus Coolsculpting
It is important to note that CoolSculpting is not a weight loss procedure, and will not produce the same results as other invasive procedures such as gastric bypass surgery. CoolSculpting helps with contouring your body using controlled cooling, causing fat cells to die and be eliminated by natural processes. If you have been following a healthy diet and make exercise a regular part of your lifestyle, but just cant seem to see any change in your problem areas, CoolSculpting may be your perfect solution! Note that clients who have cryoglobulinemia or paroxysmal cold hemoglobinuria should not be seeking CoolSculpting chin.
Coolsculpting Cost Depends On The Shape And Size Of Applicator
CoolSculpting applicators come in a variety of shapes and sizes. Each applicator is created to contour to the different target areas where it provides the fat-freezing treatment. The size and number of applicators needed per treatment will vary per patient. Each person is different and will require different applicators depending on their body shape. To freeze belly fat, one person may need two small applicators while another might need one large applicator. It is essential to schedule a complimentary consultation to discuss applicators. Your CoolSculpting technician will help evaluate your body shape and align it with your aesthetic goals to figure out the best applicators to deliver optimal body contouring results.
Applicator size will result in different CoolSculpting costs. One large applicator can cover twice the treatment size of the small applicators. One single cycle using a large applicator costs double the price of a single session using one small applicator.
Apart from the applicator size, there are specialty applicators that treat specific areas of the body. One example, the CoolMini is a small applicator designed to handle the submental region. This applicator is perfect for use on neck fat and pesky double chins. It is because of its specialty status that the use of a CoolMini applicator will be priced differently from the other applicators.

How Does Coolsculpting Compare With Other Fat Removal Options
Until the last decade, if you wanted to remove fat you had to choose between invasive options like Liposuction or Kybella. In the last several years, a variety of less-to-minimally invasive options like Vanquish and Laser Lipo have also come out. But CoolSculpting is the most popular non-invasive fat reduction treatment in the world. Heres why:
The Massage Is The Worst Part
After the doctors remove the applicator from your body, they immediately start to massage out the lump of frozen fat. This is by far the weirdest, most annoying part of the experience. I cant compare it to anything else I’ve ever triedjust imagine that your fat has been frozen into a block, and someone must rapidly thaw it. It was bizarre feeling pressure from the technicians hands, but not actually feeling her touch. Some patients say this part hurts. Personally, I would describe it more as intense discomfort.

What Are The Determining Factors Of Cost

Depending on how pinchable your tissue is and where you carry your weight, will determine which size, and how many applicators youll need.
Heres a rundown of each size.

Why Does Subcutaneous Fat Accumulate
If fat is visible and can be pinched, it is referred to as subcutaneous fat. This type of fat most often does not pose health risks. However, many people, for cosmetic reasons, are not happy with the appearance of this type of fat on their body and try everything in their power to get rid of it. There are several factors that contribute to accumulating this type of fat on the body. The factors are:
- Sedentary lifestyle
- Caloric intake is more than they burn
Most often subcutaneous fat can be reduced by taking in less calories and exercising to burn fat. However many people that eat a healthy diet and exercise regularly still struggle with areas of unsightly subcutaneous fat.
Stomach CoolSculpting is not a weight loss alternative. It is geared towards those that have failed through diet and exercise to eliminate the visual subcutaneous fat areas.
If you lead a healthy and active lifestyle and still struggle with fatty areas on your body, CoolSculpting may be a good option for you.
Cost Of Airsculpt For Thighs
Pretty much the same with stomach treatments, charges will be around $6,000 depending on the severity of fat deposits in the thigh area. The CoolSculpting cost is significantly lower at $750 per thigh.
The main culprit for fat accumulation in that area is estrogen. The hormone drives the in fat cells in females, causing deposits to establish around the buttocks and thighs.
Certain foods might be recommended that you should frequently consume to lower your estrogen levels. Whole grains, flaxseeds, cruciferous vegetables are some of those foods.

Targets Only Fat Cells
One huge benefit of this treatment is the fact that it targets only fat cells, meaning your surrounding tissues are not at risk of being damaged from thermal energy. This is a massive departure from other non-invasive fat reduction treatments that use heat, as the thermal energy in those treatments run the risk of burning the skin or causing pigmentation issues. With CoolSculpting, you can rest assured knowing that only your unwanted fat cells will be responsive to the treatment.
How the Treatment Works
Overall, the steps for this treatment are simple. On the day of your appointment, you will be asked to wear loose clothing, bring a healthy snack, drink water, and bring something to entertain yourself with for the duration of the treatment, such as a book.
The treatment itself consists of applying the patented CoolSculpting applicators to your treatment areas. The treatment will take about one hour to complete, sometimes more if you have multiple areas of treatment.
What Is Adipose Fat?
The main target of this treatment is adipose fat, which is a special type of fat in your body. All people are born with a specific number of adipose fat cells, which shrink and enlarge based on the amount of fat your body is storing at any given time. Adipose fat is located in virtually every area of the body, as it is responsible for providing protection to your internal organs and cushioning your bones.
The Average Cost Of Coolsculpting In Denver
According to RealSelf, the average cost of CoolSculpting in the greater Denver and Englewood areas is $2,350. CoolSculpting can be as little as $750 or as much as $4,500. This is because CoolSculpting is priced according to the treatment area. For example, treating the underneath of your chin will be less expensive than treating your whole abdomen.
Regardless of the area you treat, CoolSculpting is a lot more affordable than surgical fat reduction options, making it a great choice for more budget-conscious patients.

How Long Does A Coolsculpting Session Last
Each section usually takes an hour to treat. We are, however, one of the few clinics in Edmonton that has the updated machines with the new cool-advantage plus applicator. As a result, the treatment time for each section is approximately 35 minutes.
Results and recovery of Coolsculpting
According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, it takes about three months to see full results. However, it is dependent on your body and how it responds to the procedure. CoolScupting works by freezing fat , so it is a gradual process. The first noticeable results are expected after two weeks, with the maximum results expected after two to three months.
CoolSculpting is effective at reducing and removing fat cells, but it does not tighten the skin. To achieve the best results, we recommend combining it with other laser treatments. We are Edmonton’s only centre with a full portfolio of body shaping and skin tightening machines, including Laser, RF, electromagnetic, and cryo lipolysis.
You do not need to take time off from your regular activities following your appointment, but you may want to rest for a day if you believe that returning to work will be stressful on your body.
The Amount Of Excess Fat That Needs To Be Removed
The most significant factor that will affect your total CoolSculpting price is the amount of unwanted fat that you want to be removed from the treatment area. Keep in mind that hip fat can be caused by a variety of different conditions and is close to other fat deposits like belly fat, so you may need a larger treatment area to make sure that all the excess fat gets removed. Because CoolSculpting is primarily a fat reduction method, it wont do much if you have too much excess fat in the area.
Ideally, its someone who is within 20 to 30 pounds of their target weight who can benefit the most from a CoolSculpting treatment. Because of the different body anatomies of each CoolSculpting patient, results will always differ even if the treated area is the same. Ultimately, the final call with how much body fat needs to be removed from the treatment will depend on your dermatologist/CoolSculpting provider.

What Is The Ideal Number Of Treatments
While most patients see visible results after just one treatment, it is not uncommon for one to three treatments to be required to achieve the best results. If you want to lose more fat, you may need more than one treatment. You can repeat the process every three months until you’re satisfied with the results. Always consult your health care team before undergoing CoolSculpting to determine if you are a good candidate.
How Much Does Coolsculpting Cost For The Chubby Fat
This is the era of cosmetic treatments, but the cost is the deciding factor. It may seem easy to avail such treatments, but it is not so in reality. There are so many things to consider before opting for the treatment, be it for whatever purpose. No matter what, it is better to know in-depth about the treatment before heading towards it.
Gaining some weight in the era of foodies is not a big deal, especially for the girls. There is nothing to worry about as we have such cosmetic treatments as coolsculpting, liposuction, and kybella for giving you a toned body. But at the same time, people also wish to have a slim and slender figure, which is where trouble arises.
No doubt, all these treatments are effective, but nothing is best and as effective as coolsculpting. Due to the extreme popularity the treatment enjoys, it is normal for people to assume that it will be expensive. Let us know- how much does coolsculpting cost for different body parts.
There is a lot of buzz hovering around the coolsculpting cost. People wish to know about the cost of coolsculpting as it gives them an idea about the expenses they will have to bear so that they can accordingly manage everything else. The best one to ask about the coolsculpting cost is your physician.

When Did Coolsculpting Start
CoolSculpting originally hit the market after being cleared by the Food and Drug Administration in 2010 based on a 2007 study that found clinically meaningful changes in 60 patients after treatment for the reduction of love handles. Six months after the treatment, ultrasounds were performed technicians found a 19% reduction of the targeted fat layer. Zeltiq says that their machines have since become even more effective.
There are other methods of non-surgical fat reduction. Radio-frequency and laser-based treatments are also offered by many doctors. Fat freezing, though, is leading the market by a large percentage.

A Cryptocurrency Coin Crashes After Millions of Investment
Millions of dollars vanished in matter of days after investors piled into a new shit coin cryptocurrency. This currency was inspired by “Squid Game”.
The Korean Netflix survival series that went viral. After the movie went viral, groups of programmers created a coin called squid.
The cryptocurrency, called Squid, began trading. The price was one penny per token.
In the following days, it drew attention from a number of mainstream media outlets. Within a week, it was trading at $38 a token on a cryptocurrency exchange called Pancakeswap. This drew the attention of hundreds of thousands of people.
Then Squid went on a roller-coaster ride. In a 10-minute span, the token’s value grew from $628.33 to $2,856.65, according to CoinMarketCap, a crypto data tracking website.
Then, within five minutes later, it traded at $0.0007.
Initially when the coin boomed from a token to 32 dollars, so many people got interested and bought the coin, which brought profit to these programmers.
Sharon Chan, a spokeswoman for Netflix, declined to comment.
The reasons behind Squid’s collapse, reported earlier by Gizmodo, weren’t clear. Neither were the identities of its creators.
Its website appeared to have been taken offline. An email sent to its developers bounced back. Its social media channels appeared to have been shut down. Its Twitter account was not accepting direct messages or replies.
Pancakeswap, the trading platform, did not respond to a request for comment.
Not only squid token. There are so many other coins in the cryptocurrency world that is scam.
As a beginner, if you want to start crypto trading, start with bitcoin and Ethereum. This is because, it’s the main decentralized money that backs up most of these alternatives and shit coin.
For some people who dump their life savings on squid coin is regretting right now.
The squid coin developers also required users to obtain tokens of a second cryptocurrency, called Marbles.
This marbles is used to sell their Squid tokens, according to the white paper. Marbles could be earned only by participating in an online game inspired by the show.

Before investing in any cryptocurrency, make deep research. This is your hard earned money. Shit coins are not reliable.
Don’t fall for scammers or get rich quick scam

If you are wondering how much it costs to climb Mount Meru, then here is the breakdown of what to expect to pay on your trip. Please note, these prices are for climbers wishing to plan the whole climb by themselves, otherwise, contact us here for a free quote. The increase generally costs approximately 800-1200 USD per person, according to online sources! Traveling to Moshi and Arusha and bargaining (we’ve heard down to approximately 500 USD in the low seasons (with tip)) will get you a better deal. Still, if you want to save money, take public transportation and carry and prepare your own meals for the journey. This can keep your expenditures per person to around 20-30 USD, excluding park fees.
Arusha National Park offers two tariffs: one for citizens of East African countries, and one for everyone else.
If you aren’t an East African citizen you have to expect to pay the following .
Entry fees per person per day:
Age above 15 = 35 USD (45 USD)
Age 5-15 = 10 USD (15 USD)
Age under 5 = Free (Free)
Guiding fees per day per group (service of official guide outside normal working hours):
15 USD (15 USD)
Accommodation fees per person per night:
Hut = 20 USD (30 USD)
Rescue fee per person per trip:
20 USD (20 USD)
For a 4 day climb of Mt. Meru, an adult traveling alone would expect to pay until 01.07.13:
35 USD x 4 days + 15 USD x 4 days + 20 USD x 3 nights + 20 USD = 280 USD.
A group of two adults would pay a total of 500 USD.
From 01.07.13 until 30.06.2015 expect to pay:
45 USD x 4 days + 15 USD x 4 days + 30 USD x 3 nights + 20 USD = 350 USD.
A group of two adults would pay a total of 640 USD.
Note that you may be put into a group with others, but still share a ranger you have paid full price for. To avoid this, attempt to gather a large group and share costs before paying the fees.

[Go back to Part 1: Kwei-hwa-cheng to Galpin Gobi]
On the 13th we passed through some low hills, and then descended a valley in which were some gnarled and stunted elm trees, the first trees I have seen in Mongolia. They were about thirty feet high, and evidently very old. We then passed over a sandy, barren waste, the beginning of the Galpin Gobi, the very worst part of the whole desert.(p. 89, 13-May-1887)
Three pages later Younghusband will write:
The Galpin Gobi, where I crossed it to the Hurku Hills, could be seen extending as far as the eye could reach to the N.E. Where Prjevalsky crossed it its width was eighteen miles only, and it was 3570 feet above the sea. The Mongols there told him that it extended to the east and to the west for twenty days’ march. It forms a marked depression in the great Mongolian plateau, and is a distinct dividing-line between the Altai and the In-shan mountain systems, for I will show presently that the Hurku Hills may be regarded as the prolongation of the former mountains.(pp. 92-3)
It’s clear that the Galpin Gobi is a depression of some length, and that to figure out where Younghusband is heading we need to also locate the large-scale feature of the Altai Mountains, plus the local feature of the Hurku Hills.
One again the 1922 Times Atlas comes in handy. Here we have the Galpin Gobi showing up as the Galbyn-Gobi, and the Hurku Hills as the Khurkha Range. (I might note that KH and H seem to be freely equivalent in transliterations of Mongolian names.)
Some version of the name “Galpin Gobi” also appears on other maps, albeit in slightly different places. Bearing in mind Younghusband’s description of the Galpin Gobi as forming “a marked depression in the great Mongolian plateau,” it’s illuminating to see that although these maps don’t place their versions of the words “Galpin Gobi” in the same place, they do all place them in the same depression visible on a digital elevation model (DEM).
It’s also good to look again at the map which accompanied Przhevalsky’s book, Mongolia, in its English edition. Przhevalsky made his journey through this area in 1873, twelve years before Younghusband, and for the 1876 English translation the publisher (Sampson Low, Marston, Searle & Rivington) had a new map executed. This was probably the most recent map of the area Younghusband had seen.
Przhevalskiy crossed the Galpin Gobi on a North–South line, and there on his map are the “Hurku Mts” and “Bortson Spr” (which Younghusband will shortly mention), as well as a note that here Przhevalsky crossed a Trade route from Peking to Hami, Urumchi & Ili, via Kuku Khoto & Bautu—the very trade route Younghusband is on.
So we can feel confident that this depression between the Lang Shan on the south east and the Hurka Hills to the northwest is the feature known as the Galpin Gobi.
Now, if we back out, we can see both the Galpin Gobi and the Altai Mountains, a major feature that dominates southwestern Mongolia.
As a reference for the Altai Mountains, we can go to this 1967 Soviet Atlas.
If we copy that label onto Google Terrain it would show up like this:
The Hurku Hills are, as Younghusband argues, a prolongation of the Altai mountains to the southeast. But the name Hurku only turns up, in various forms, on the extreme southeast end of this prolongation. The rest of it has other names; Younghusband is the only one who thinks of the whole thing as the Hurku Hills.
Here we can see the “Hurha Uula” (уул [uul] is the Mongolian word for a mountain) on the IMW sheet K-48, and we can see the хребет [khrebet] (mountain range) хурхэ-ула [khurkhe-ula] on the Soviet 1:500,000 scale K-48-3.
On neither map does the labelled range extend very far northwest, whereas on Younghusband’s map the “Hurka Hills” go all the way up to meet the Altai.
So, with the Galpin Gobi, Hurku Hills and Altai Mountains all located relative to one another, let’s go back to Younghusband on May 19th as he reaches the west side of the Galpin Gobi.
we pushed on for the next well, gradually ascending the range, which I now found to be the eastern extremity of the Hurku Hills, the highest part of which was 700 feet above the plain, the track crossing it at 630 feet. We can realize how deceptive the distances are here. Some days ago we first saw this range, and I thought that we should reach it at the end of that march, but we have taken four days to do so. We passed over a plateau at the top of the range for three and a half miles, and then descended very gradually to the plain again, camping at 7:10 p.m. near a well.(p. 91)
We can visualize this by zooming in on the southernmost point of the Hurka Hills, where they meet the Galpin Gobi depression, and adding contour lines (at 20 metre intervals) to the map.
It is roughly seven contour lines, or 140m (about 450 feet), from the low point of the plain to the pass itself, which does not agree with Younghusband’s estimate of 650 feet, but on the other hand there is, in the pass, a flat area which could creditably be three and a half miles wide. The high points on either side of the pass are up to 250 metres (about 800 feet) higher, not the 70 feet Younghusband implies.
However this pass makes sense because the Bortson well is just around the corner from it.
For two marches we kept gradually ascending towards a watershed, connecting the Hurku with a similar but somewhat lower range running parallel to the road, eight or ten miles to the south. Crossing this connecting ridge, we arrived at the Bortson well in the early hours of the morning of the 22nd. (p. 92)
The Bortson well is quite easy to find on our maps, lying just on the southwest slope of the Hurku Hills: IMW K-48 has it as “Bordzon Bulag (spring)”—“bulak” being a Turki word for a spring), and the Soviet K-48-2 has it as род. Бордзонийн-Булак [rod. Bordzonijn-Bulak], where род. [rod.] is an abbreviation for родник [rodnik], meaning spring or well. The Soviet map also contains the useful note “дебит 2500 л/час” [debit 2500 l/chas] meaning “Flow 2500 litres/hour.”
Bortson well is in a shallow basin, so we can see on the DEM the watershed Younghusband describes himself as crossing: he ascends and then, just before the well, he begins descending.
On the next move (they typically begin travel around noon and end after midnight)…
we continued along the southern base of the Hurku Hills, passing over an almost level plain of an extremely desolate appearance…After this we crossed some low hills running down from the Hurku range, and arrived on the banks of a delightful small stream, about a foot wide and a few inches deep, with some patches of green grass on its margin. Here we halted for three days to buy a couple of new camels.(p. 93)
It’s unclear where the delightful small stream is. Satellite imagery shows some surface water at a band of rock outcrops about 25 miles beyond Bortson well, which is approximately their daily travel distance.
From here there are not many good landmarks for a few days. In the course of May 28th through June 4th they encounter bad weather, lay over on the 29th, pass over “undulating country” on the 31st, and Younghusband says
to the south there appeared to be good grass-land in the depression between the Hurku Hills and a parallel range, ten or twelve miles to the south. According to a Mongol who visited us, there is some land cultivated by Mongols four miles to the south at Huru-su-tai.(pp. 94-5)
I have not found any settlement or well that might be Huru-su-tai.
In the next few days we passed along a plain lying between the Hurku Hills and the southern parallel range, for which I could get no name. We saw a peak of the Hurku Hills, which my Mongol called Baroso-khai.(p. 95)
Of this peak, Younghusband later writes,
the prominent mountain, for which I obtained the name Barosakhai, but which I have not the slightest doubt is identical with the mountain called by the Russian traveller Pevstof, Gourbaun-Seikyn.*(p. 100)
and in the footnote,
* I found it very hard to get at the proper pronunciation from the Mongols. The n’s are scarcely heard, and it is possible I may not have caught them.
Younghusband seems to be saying here that he might have heard “Gourbaun-Seikyn” as “Barosakhai.” Certainly if one drops the first syllable of Gourbaun, as well as the terminal n’s, this seems plausible: “Bau-seiky” becomes “Barosakhai.”
In any case, Gourbaun-Seikyn is easily found on our maps: it’s a term presently used for the highest portion of what Younghusband is calling the Hurku Hills—the northwest end of the range. Today it is protected as Mongolia’s Gobi Gurvansaikhan National Park. The 1952 IMW K-48 labels this part of the mountains as “Gurban Sayhan,” and the 1972 Soviet K-48-1 has it as ГУРБАН-САЙХАН [Gurban-saikhan].
The high point of the Gurvansaikhan, at just over 2800 metres, is today called Дунд Саикни-Нуру [Dund Saikin-Nuru] and is just northeast of the settlement of Bayandalai.
On June 4th
we reached a Mongol encampment, called Tu-pu-chi. This is the most thickly populated part I have seen in the Gobi, as there were several other yurts scattered over the plain.(p. 97)
On the following day we crossed a ridge connecting the Hurku Hills with the southern range, and descended a wide valley or plain between those two ranges on the western side of the connecting ridge. Between us and the southern range was a most remarkable range of sandhills, called by my guide Hun-kua-ling. It is about forty miles in length, and is composed of bare sand, without a vestige of vegetation of any sort on it, and I computed it in places to be as much as nine hundred feet in height, rising abruptly out of a gravel plain.(p. 97)
This forty-mile-long range of sand hills (“Hun-kua-ling“) is one of the most confident identifications we can make along Younghusband’s route. It is recognizably the Khongoryn Els, a notable feature of Gobi Gurvansaikhan National Park. The sandhills (i.e., dunes) are readily seen on satellite images.
This suggests that the encampment Younghusband reached in June 3rd, which he called Tu-pu-chi, is in fact at the site of the present settlement of Bayandalai.
Let’s step back now and compare what we’ve mapped so far to Younghusband’s map.
On the whole they are similar, and there are some interesting features worth mentioning on Younghusband’s map, features that suggest that Younghusband did not himself make the map that appeared in his book.
For one, his mapmaker labels the Kara Narin Ula mountain range curving along the north bank of the Hoang-Ho (Yellow River). Younghusband does not mention this range is his text, but somehow it found its way onto the map. It also shows the Shara Murin river. These features both turn up in Przhevalsky’s expedition account, Mongolia.
Another is that the map has the “Hurka Hills,” while in the text the they are always the Hurku Hills.
Younghusband’s map shows as continuous the secondary range paralleling the Hurku Hills on the south. Yet the DEM shows us that things are not quite so simple. Although Younghusband frequently notices that there are hills to his left, in reality they are not a continuous range until he gets to the basin where Tu-pu-chi/Bayandalai is located.
Continue on to Part 3: from the Hun-kua-ling sandhills to the Ya-hu oasis
