Age-related macular degeneration (ARMD) is the leading cause of irreversible visual loss in the United States. There are 2 types of macular degeneration: (i) dry and (ii) wet. The dry, or non-exudative form, involves both atrophic and hypertrophic changes in the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) underlying the central macula, as well as drusen deposition beneath the RPE. Patients with non-exudative ARMD can progress to the wet, or exudative, form of ARMD, in which pathologic choroidal neovascular (CNV) membranes develop under the retina, leak fluid and blood, and ultimately cause a blinding disciform scar in a relatively short time. Approximately 10 to 20 % of patients with non-exudative ARMD eventually progress to the exudative form, which is responsible for most of the cases of advanced ARMD in the United States (AAO, 2006; Comer, 2006).
Although some subtypes of wet ARMD are treatable, treatment efficacy is low. At present, the only widely accepted intervention for ARMD is the use of high-dose antioxidants. However, this treatment only slows progression in some patients and does not reverse damage already present. After ARMD becomes exudative, laser photocoagulation, photodynamic therapy (PDT) with verteporfin, and therapy with intra-vitreal pegaptanib sodium are the standard treatments to control CNV. Because of the limitations in current treatment, researchers are presently developing alternative therapies for wet ARMD including alternative types of PDT, transpupillary thermotherapy, treatment with a variety of growth-factor modulators, irradiation, and surgical therapy. Effective treatment is limited by a lack of understanding of the underlying cause of the disease (AAO, 2006; Comer, 2006). External beam radiation has been used as a treatment for neovascular ARMD with poor results (NICE, 2004; Sivagnanavel et al, 2004).
The Epi-Rad90 Ophthalmic SystemTM (NeoVista, Inc., Fremont, CA) is an epiretinal radiation delivery device developed to treat wet ARMD. After a vitrectomy is performed, the Epi-Rad90 Ophthalmic System delivers beta radiation (strontium 90) directly to the area of the retina affected by wet ARMD. Patients receive a single treatment of strontium 90 in combination with an injection of an anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (anti-VEGF).
NeoVista, Inc. is conducting a randomized, prospective phase III clinical trial, the CABERNET (CNV Secondary to AMD Treated with BEta RadiatioN Epiretinal Therapy), to evaluate the safety and efficacy of focal delivery of radiation for the treatment of wet age-related macular degeneration (AMD) compared to the results obtained with anti-VEGF therapy alone. Data from the manufacturer's website describe the results from an unpublished 1-year feasibility study of CNV patients (n = 34) who received a single treatment of epiretinal therapy in combination with 2 injections of Avastin (1 dose at the time of radiation delivery and another 1 month later). The study reported a mean improvement of visual acuity of 13.1 letters using the Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study (ETDRS) test after 12 months follow-up (15 % required additional injections of Avastin throughout the year). The following adverse events were reported by 12 % of the patients: retinal tear, retinal detachment, subretinal hemorrhage, and vitreous hemorrhage.
In a prospective, non-randomized, multi-center study, Avila et al (2009) evaluated the short-term safety and feasibility of epiretinal strontium-90 brachytherapy delivered concomitantly with intra-vitreal bevacizumab for the treatment of subfoveal CNV due to AMD for 12 months. A 3-year follow-up is planned. A total of 34 treatment-naive patients with predominantly classic, minimally classic and occult subfoveal CNV lesions received a single treatment with 24 Gy beta radiation (strontium-90) and 2 injections of bevacizumab. Adverse events were observed. Best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) was measured using standard ETDRS vision charts. Twelve months after treatment, no radiation-associated adverse events were observed. In the intent-to-treat population, 91 % of patients lost less than 3 lines (15 ETDRS letters) of vision at 12 months, 68 % improved or maintained their BCVA at 12 months, and 38 % gained greater than or equal to 3 lines. The mean change in BCVA observed at month 12 was a gain of 8.9 letters. The authors concluded that the safety and efficacy of intra-ocular, epiretinal brachytherapy delivered concomitantly with bevacizumab for the treatment of subfoveal CNV secondary to AMD were promising in this small study population. They stated that long-term safety will be assessed for 3 years; and this regimen is being evaluated in a large, multi-center, phase III study.
A Cochrane systematic evidence review found no convincing evidence that radiotherapy is an effective treatment for neovascular AMD. The review stated that, if further trials are to be considered to evaluate radiotherapy in AMD, then adequate masking of the control group must be considered. Thirteen trials (n = 1,154) investigated external beam radiotherapy with dosages ranging from 7.5 to 24 Gy; 1 additional trial (n = 88) used plaque brachytherapy (15Gy at 1.75mm for 54 mins/12.6 Gy at 4 mm for 11 mins). The review stated that most studies found effects (not always significant) that favored treatment. The review found that there was overall a small statistically significant reduction in risk of visual acuity loss in the treatment group. The review found considerable inconsistency between trials and the trials were considered to be at risk of bias, in particular because of the lack of masking of treatment group. Subgroup analyses did not reveal any significant interactions; however, there were small numbers of trials in each subgroup (range of 3 to 5). There was some indication that trials with no sham irradiation in the control group reported a greater effect of treatment. The incidence of adverse events was low in all trials; there were no reported cases of radiation retinopathy, optic neuropathy or malignancy. Three trials found non-significant higher rates of cataract progression in the treatment group.
In a multi-center, randomized, active-controlled, phase III clinical trial, Dugel et al (2013) the safety and efficacy of epi-macular brachytherapy (EMBT) for the treatment of neovascular ARMD. A total of 494 participants with treatment-naive neovascular ARMD were included in this study. Participants with classic, minimally classic, and occult lesions were randomized in a 2:1 ratio to EMBT or a ranibizumab monotherapy control arm. The EMBT arm received 2 mandated, monthly loading injections of 0.5-mg ranibizumab. The control arm received 3 mandated, monthly loading injections of ranibizumab, then quarterly injections. Both arms also received monthly as needed (pro re nata [PRN]) re-treatment. Main outcome measures were the proportion of participants losing fewer than 15 ETDRS letters from baseline VA and the proportion gaining more than 15 ETDRS letters from baseline VA. At 24 months, 77 % of the EMBT group and 90 % of the control group lost fewer than 15 letters. This difference did not meet the pre-specified 10 % non-inferiority margin. This end-point was non-inferior using a 20 % margin and a 95 % confidence interval (CI) for the group as a whole and for classic and minimally classic lesions, but not for occult lesions. The EMBT did not meet the superiority end-point for the proportion of participants gaining more than 15 letters (16 % for the EMBT group versus 26 % for the control group): this difference was statistically significant (favoring controls) for occult lesions, but not for predominantly classic and minimally classic lesions. Mean VA change was -2.5 letters in the EMBT arm and +4.4 letters in the control arm. Participants in the EMBT arm received a mean of 6.2 ranibizumab injections versus 10.4 in the control arm. At least 1 serious adverse event occurred in 54 % of the EMBT arm, most commonly post-vitrectomy cataract, versus 18 % in the control arm. Mild, non-proliferative radiation retinopathy occurred in 3 % of the EMBT participants, but no case was vision threatening. The authors concluded that the 2-year effectiveness data do not support the routine use of EMBT for treatment-naïve wet ARMD, despite an acceptable safety profile. They stated that further safety review is required.
In a prospective, multi-center, interventional, non-controlled clinical trial, Petrarca et al (2013) reported the optical coherence tomography (OCT) and fundus fluorescein angiography (FFA) results of the Macular Epiretinal Brachytherapy in Treated Age-Related Macular Degeneration study. A total of 53 eyes of 53 participants with chronic, active neovascular ARMD requiring frequent anti-VEGF re-treatment. Participants underwent pars plana vitrectomy with a single 24-gray dose of epi-macular brachytherapy (EMB), delivered with an intra-ocular, hand-held, cannula containing a strontium 90/yttrium 90 source positioned over the active lesion. Participants were retreated with ranibizumab administered monthly as needed, using pre-defined re-treatment criteria. Patients underwent FFA at baseline, month 1, and month 12. Patients underwent OCT at baseline and then monthly for 12 months. The FFA and OCT images were evaluated by independent, central reading facilities. Main outcome measures were change in OCT center-point thickness and angiographic lesion size 12 months after EMB. Mean center-point thickness increased by 50 μm, from 186 to 236 μm (p = 0.292), but 70 % of participants had an increase of less than the mean, with a median increase of only 1.8 μm. The FFA total lesion size increased slightly by 0.79 mm(2), from 14.69 to 15.48 mm(2) (p = 0.710). Total CNV area increased by 1.17 mm(2), from 12.94 to 14.12 mm(2) (p = 0.556). The classic CNV area decreased substantially by 3.70 mm(2), from 3.90 to 0.20 mm(2) (p < 0.01). Predominantly classic lesions showed the greatest response, with mean ETDRS VA improving by 1.5 letters (versus -4.0 for all participants combined); mean center-point thickness decreased by 43 μm (p = 0.875). The angiographic and OCT response did not correlate with lesion size at baseline. The authors concluded that in chronic, active, neovascular ARMD, EMB is associated with non-significant changes in center-point thickness and FFA total lesion size over 12 months.
In a multi-center, active-controlled, randomized clinical trial, Jackson et al (2013) reported the FA and OCT results of a clinical trial of EMBT used for the treatment of neovascular ARMD. A total of 494 participants with treatment-naive, neovascular ARMD were included in this study. Participants with classic, minimally classic, and occult lesions were randomized to receive (i) EMBT and 2 mandated monthly ranibizumab injections followed by PRN ranibizumab, or (ii) 3 mandated monthly ranibizumab injections followed by mandated quarterly plus PRN ranibizumab. Participants underwent FA at screening and at months 1, 6, 12, 18, and 24. Optical coherence tomography scans were undertaken monthly for 24 months. The FA and OCT images were analyzed at respective independent reading centers. Main outcome measures were change at 24 months in mean FA total lesion size and CNV size and change in mean OCT center-point thickness. The mean (standard deviation) changes in FA total lesion size in the EMBT and control arms were +1.9 (8.7) and -3.0 (7.2) mm(2), respectively, with a mean change in total CNV size of +0.4 (8.4) and -4.7 (6.5) mm(2), respectively. Mean (standard deviation) changes in OCT center-point thickness were -144 (246) and -221 (185) μm, respectively. Retrospective subgroup analyses showed no significant difference between treatment arms in mean center-point thickness in some subgroups, including eyes with classic lesions. The control arm showed a significantly larger reduction in mean total lesion size and mean CNV size than the EMBT arm in all subgroups analyzed. Nine eyes in the EMBT arm showed features consistent with mild, non-proliferative radiation retinopathy, but with a mean gain of 5.0 ETDRS letters. The authors concluded that both FA and OCT suggested that EMBT with PRN ranibizumab results in an inferior structural outcome than quarterly plus PRN ranibizumab. Some subgroup analyses suggested that classic lesions may be more responsive than occult lesions, although generally both subgroups are inferior to ranibizumab. A non-vision-threatening radiation retinopathy occurs in 2.9 % of eyes over 24 months, but longer follow-up is needed.
In a retrospective, single-center study, Zur and colleagues (2015) evaluated clinical feasibility, safety, and effectiveness of epiretinal strontium-90 brachytherapy in subfoveal CNV due to AMD in eyes unresponsive to repeated anti-VEGF injections. Patients underwent pars plana vitrectomy with a single 24-Gy dose brachytherapy. They were re-treated with anti-VEGF injections on an as-needed basis if subretinal or intraretinal fluid was detected on OCT imaging. A total of 22 patients were treated, and 20 completed 12 months of follow-up. Ten patients maintained stable vision, 8 gained vision, and 2 lost more than 3 Snellen lines. The mean BCVA change from baseline was -8 ± 5.7 letters. A mean of 5.5 ± 4.4 anti-VEGF injections were administered throughout 12 months. The authors concluded that epimacular brachytherapy is feasible in clinical practice. While some patients benefit from the treatment and need significantly fewer as-needed injections, others appear not to react to irradiation treatment after 1 year of follow-up. They stated that larger numbers of patients are needed to evaluate the effectiveness and to determine which patients can benefit from combined radiation and anti-VEGF therapy.
Epiretinal radiation may be a promising treament for wet ARMD, however, randomized prospective studies are needed to demonstrate its effectiveness.

Sheepshead Bay in New York City, NY
Before the 1930s, Sheepshead was the entrance into Coney Island Creek. However, construction of Belt Parkway at Shore Parkway and filling of the central part of the waterway eliminated such access. As this was happening, the bay was widened, deepened and bulkheaded. Now, recreational fishing fleets call it home, though dinner boats have been replacing them.
The Holocaust Memorial Park is located at the western end of Sheepshead Bay. Here, commemorative events take place throughout the year.
Soviet-style restaurants and nightclubs have been opening along the waterfront, and condo developments have been springing up.
Sheepshead was named for the edible fish that was once often found in the bay’s water, the sheepshead. The fish is rare, but can still be caught occasionally in the waters. Notable residents include actress Michelle Trachtenberg, legend NFL coach Vince Lombardi and former baseball player Rico Petrocelli.

Heavy metal legend Ozzy Osbourne, 71, revealed in an interview on TV show "Good Morning America" that he is fighting Parkinson's disease.
Black Sabbath's former frontman said that he has a "mild form" and found out about it after suffering a fall last February. According to Ozzy, he felt guilty for holding back the diagnosis from his fans.
The musician's wife and manager Sharon Osbourne told, "It's not a death sentence but it affects certain nerves in your body".
Previously, due to illness, the musician had to postpone the concert activity for a year, rescheduling the tour dates. Currently, there's no information on Ozzy's official resources about the cancellation of the upcoming tour, which will kick off in late May 2020, in the United States.
In early January, Osbourne unveiled the title track of his new album, recorded with Elton John.

Drox Operative is an interesting action RPG Space Opera style game from the company that brought us Din’s Curse. You are an operative of the once mighty Drox Empire who is looking to restore the empire back to it’s leading role in the galaxy. There are 5 different ways to win, and many ways to lose. Fight, claw and scheme to the top of the alien food chain in any way possible.
It is very obvious how much this game feels and looks like Space Pirates and Zombies (SPAZ). Like SPAZ, Drox Operative is a 2D open world game that offers free reign to do anything in any order. Controls are very similar between the two games as well where it uses a top down view.
Things are very overwhelming when first playing the game, and the tutorial being nothing more than giant walls of text does not help either. The amount of information to process is immense, but give enough time the game will sort itself out. The other races, non player characters, will make their intentions known and how each is dealt with will change the course of the game. Choice plays a key role in how other races will react towards the operative.
Is the operative looking to unify all the alien races under one banner, or rule with an iron fist? Will the operative become a planet destroying tyrant, or use the influence and power that come from being rich? These are the choices offered each game, and each game will play out different based on choices, aliens, and even the lay out of the galaxy.
Not only is there the epic space opera of what will become of you, the Drox Operative, throughout the course of the game, but it offers up a unique and unexpected dungeon crawling loot fest. Ships are fully customizable with all the different parts that can be scavenged from other ships. I could even compare this to something like Eve Online, where they are different “slots” for each ship component. The crew of the ship can be changed and customized to better fit the play style desired. At first, I wanted to say that the game felt sluggish in the control department, when it really was the fact that the thrusters I had equipped just weren’t strong enough for the ship.
What the Drox Operative makes up for in choice, customization and scope it loses in the sound and graphics department: The graphics are very basic, the sounds can grate on the ears, and the music could have been better as well.
Overall, if you are into these grand detailed space operas that focus more on interaction and cunning, this one is right up there. There is a demo for the game if you would like to try it before you buy it. Drox Operative can be purchased directly from Soldak Entertainment’s website.

Dave McKinney and Chris Fusco, Chicago Sun-Times, March 11, 2006
Gov. Blagojevich faced new criticism Friday for signing a proclamation honoring a Nation of Islam splinter group that advocates black separatism — marking a controversial new turn in the administration’s handling of race relations.
The governor last month designated a special day, Feb. 12, in honor of the Coalition for the Remembrance of Elijah Muhammad, a South Side group that formed in the 1980s and is led by a Chicago cable television personality.
On its Web site, the group, known as C.R.O.E., advocates against mixed-race marriages, says blacks should not be taxed, calls for black children to be taught separately “by their own teachers,” and encourages the creation of a territory within the United States for slave descendants.
“If the white people are truthful about their professed friendship toward the so-called Negro, they can prove it by dividing up America with their slaves,” the site states.
The proclamation’s disclosure follows nearly two weeks of upheaval over Blagojevich’s appointment and support of a Nation of Islam official on a state anti-discrimination panel. Five Jewish members of that panel have quit since March 3 because of her refusal to repudiate a speech by her spiritual leader, Louis Farrakhan, in which he decried “Hollywood Jews” for promoting homosexuality and “other filth.”
The proclamation described C.R.O.E. as “an invaluable institution and an important voice in both the African-American community and among the general public.”
The group is headed by South Holland resident Munir Muhammad, whom Blagojevich appointed to a $39,888-a-year seat on the state Human Rights Commission in May 2003. Muhammad did not return calls to his organization or home.

KUWTK: Kanye West deletes Twitter and Instagram
Kanye West has mysteriously deleted his verified Twitter and Instagram accounts.
The controversial rapper surprised his fans on Friday when he mysteriously deactivated both his verified Twitter and Instagram accounts, giving no reason for his actions.
Meanwhile, it was recently revealed that although Kanye, 39, and his wife Kim Kardashian West, 36. had some ups and downs last year, their marriage is currently "in a great place".
A source told PEOPLE: "Kanye couldn't stop talking about his wife recently, calling her the sweetest thing.
"Kim and Kanye are in a great place. They are just so happy. He's doing really great."
Another insider added that things had been tough after Kim was robbed at gunpoint in Paris and Kanye was admitted to hospital suffering from exhaustion but the pair have been working hard to get their relationship back on track.
The source said: "They went through a really rough time there for a while. It was really touch and go. She was dealing with the robbery and all that came after, and she felt like he wasn't there for her. He was going through his issues around the holidays, and he felt like she wasn't prioritising him.
"Things were just awful between the two of them, but also with both of them separately. It was like for the first time, they just weren't happy. I don't think they were happy separately, and I know they weren't happy together.
"Kim kept saying, 'If we can get through this, we'll be stronger than ever. They never fell out of love with each other, but it was just one of those times where marriage is hard work, and you have to push through the pain.
"They both had moments where they were like, 'Is this even worth it' But the answer was always, 'Yes, this is worth it.' So they both chose to fight."
Kim Kardashian West's marriage was 'really touch and go' after Paris robbery
Kim Kardashian West's marriage was reportedly "really touch and go" after the horrific Paris ordeal.
The 36-year-old American television personality was robbed at gunpoint in her hotel room in Paris, France, in October last year, and it is believed her relationship with husband Kanye West became "hard work" through that difficult time because he wasn't "prioritising" his wife as he was trying to cope with his personal "issues", which saw him hospitalised for exhaustion.
Speaking about the couple to PEOPLE - who have three-year-old daughter North and 17-month-old son Saint together - an insider said: "It was really touch and go. She was dealing with the robbery and all that came after, and she felt like he wasn't there for her. He was going through his issues around the holidays, and he felt like she wasn't prioritising him."
Although the pair endured a difficult time in their love life, it is believed they "never" fell out of love for one another and tried to "push through the pain" to make their romance work.
The insider added: "They never fell out of love with each other, but it was just one of those times where marriage is hard work, and you have to push through the pain."
However, the source has claimed it wouldn't be a surprise if the 'Keeping Up With the Kardashians' star and her 39-year-old rapper were to go their separate ways, although it is believed they are more likely to stay married for a long time to come.
The source said: "If they called and said it was over, it wouldn't come out of the blue.
"But on the other hand, it wouldn't shock me if the two of them are still married in 20 years. Their chances are way better now than they used to be."
Kim Kardashian life is 'always going to be different' after the Paris robbery
Kim Kardashian West's life is "always going to be different" after the Paris robbery, as she feels she will never be able to "erase" the horrific ordeal from her memory or trust "anyone" again.
The 36-year-old American television personality was bound, gagged and held at gunpoint whilst thieves stole her personal possessions from her French hotel in October 2016, and although the French police have reportedly arrested 17 people in connection with the incident, she will never move on from the attack because she "can't erase" the horrific ordeal from her memory.
Speaking about how she has changed since the terrifying moment last year on 'Keeping Up With the Kardashians', the raven-haired beauty - who has three-year-old daughter North and 16-month-old son Saint with her rapper husband Kanye West - said: "To find out that there were so many people involved, hearing detail after detail, really just opened up a whole different perspective for me of feeling safe.
"It definitely opened up my eyes to a whole different world that I can't erase - I can't go backwards.
"Life is always going to be different.
"I can still live my life, but just on edge."
And the 'Selfish' author has vowed to be "super aware of everything" from now on following the raid.
She added: "Now I just have to be super aware of everything that I do and who I share it with."
The reality star reportedly met with a French judge in New York in February to identify the people who were involved in the robbery because she didn't want to return to the French capital, but the thought that people "close" to her were involved in plotting the nightmarish attack makes her distrust "anyone".
She explained: "Knowing that it's a possibility that people close to me were involved makes me feel I can't trust anyone. And that really sucks. It just opened up my eyes that this happens and that there's really bad people in this world."
Brie Larson's accidental selfie
Brie Larson only featured in a Met Gala selfie because she was in the bathroom when it was being taken.
The 'Room' actress was among a string of famous faces - including Diddy, Paris Jackson and Kim Kardashian West - who crammed into a picture shared by the 'Keeping Up With the Kardashians' star at the annual fashion extravaganza on Monday (01.05.17) but she admitted she was only included as she happened to be in the same place at the same time the impromptu photo shoot was taking place.
She tweeted: I need to go to the bathroom and ended up famous."
Kylie broke rules at the annual bash at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City to take the picture.
Kylie posted the image on her Instagram account and it has already been 'liked' more than two million times by her followers.
The post confirmed the 19-year-old star had realised her ambition of taking at least one selfie at the event in New York, even though guests were explicitly asked not to post pictures on social media.
Earlier in the evening, Kylie said: "I'll sneak a selfie, I always sneak a selfie."
Despite this, Kylie previously admitted that her social media accounts aren't necessarily a true reflection of her real-life self.
Speaking in 2016, the reality star explained: "I usually don't show my true personality to the world, because when you open yourself up so much, there's more room for people to say things about you."
Kylie explained that her public image is carefully orchestrated, admitting she doesn't want to reveal her true self to her followers.
She said: "This is where #WhoIsKylieJenner comes into play. I don't really say who Kylie Jenner is, you know what I mean?"
Kanye West avoiding Met Gala because of red carpet 'pressure'
Kanye West is reportedly skipping out on the Met Gala because he's "not ready" for the "pressure" of the red carpet.

The 39-year-old rapper will leave his wife Kim Kardashian West to attend the flashy ball - which takes place in New York City on Monday evening - alone for the first time since they made their debut in 2013, and sources now claim his decision comes as he believes he isn't ready to deal with the "stress and pressure" of a red carpet after he was hospitalised for exhaustion late last year.
A source said: "It had nothing to do with the Met Gala. It was more about the stress and pressure of a big red carpet. He just wasn't quite there yet."
But despite not attending the star-studded bash, the insider insisted the 'Famous' hitmaker is in "a much better place" than he was last year, and has made "good progress" in getting his mental health back on track.
They added to People magazine: "Kanye has been doing okay. He's made a lot of good progress and is in a much better place."
Previously, it was claimed the star would be spending his evening looking after the two children he shares with the 36-year-old reality star - three-year-old daughter North and 17-month-old son Saint.
Another source said: "Kanye West will not be attending the Met Ball tomorrow.
"Kim will be flying solo. He's still very much enjoying his time off from public events.
"He'll be staying back in L.A. with their kids.
"Everything is great with him and Kim and he's supportive of her going solo."
Last year the couple rocked matching silvery outfits, and the metallic dress Kim wore was actually a combination of two Balmain gowns created by Olivier Rousteing which fitted the party's Manus x Machina: Fashion In An Age Of Technology theme perfectly.
Kanye revealed at the time: "Thank you Olivier for making 4 dresses for Kim to choose from which we chopped 2 in half (sic)"
Kim Kardashian West's son Saint is her 'twin'
Kim Kardashian West's son Saint is her "twin", and the television personality believes her daughter shares a likeness with her husband Kanye West.
The 36-year-old American television personality believes her and 16-month-old child have the same personality and she claims the pair of them are both "so sweet", whereas her three-year-old daughter North has the same qualities as the 'Selfish' author's husband Kanye West.
Speaking about her brood on 'The Ellen DeGeneres Show', which will air on Thursday, the raven-haired beauty said: "He's my twin. He's literally my twin personality. He's so sweet. And he's just such a good good boy. Just such a good person.
"[North] She's really really smart, actually. She knows how to outsmart us - if she thinks she does. But she is Kanye's twin. Same personality, says the same wild things. Those two."
And the 'Keeping Up With the Kardashians' star has revealed her oldest child will often bully her brother because she is "so jealous" of him, especially when he would nestle into the reality star's chest to be breastfed.
Kim explained: "North just beats him [Saint] up all day long ... she's just awful. She is so jealous, and I thought it was a phase - it's not going away. She just says boys aren't allowed in her room. Like, when she's gone at school, I'm like, 'It's time let's go in her room! Do whatever you want - go crazy!'
"When I was breastfeeding him, [North] was so jealous I had to get a little milk box and put it in the other bra with a straw so she would drink and he would drink. She's so jealous. It's crazy. The things you do."
And the fashion icon has praised her 39-year-old spouse for his "romantic" tendencies, and feels pressure to plan his 40th birthday bash when he hits the milestone on June 8.
She explained: "He does the most amazing, romantic, over-the-top, crazy, wild things that you would never even imagine for me. So the pressure is so on.
"I think I still want it to be intimate, maybe small. Not too crazy. Not too overwhelming just yet."

Govt Must Fight To Protect Rosewood – Apaak
The Member of Parliament for Builsa South, Dr Clement Apaak, has raised concerns over government’s commitment to fight the felling of Rosewood in the Northern region.
There was a ban on the felling of rosewood in the country early part of last year until the government gave approval for grant of permit to Messrs. Jusdal Plus, and other 24 companies to salvage Rosewood from the Brong-Ahafo, Upper East, Upper West and Northern regions.
In the last few years, harvesting of the species had gone out of control and in curbing the indiscipline, the Ministry of Lands and Natural Resources in 2014 banned the harvesting, transportation, export, sale or processing of rosewood in the country which mainly come from the three Northern regions.
The companies are to strictly comply with 17 guidelines and regulations relating to the grant of timber rights and also pay all statutory fees and approval premiums.
But speaking Wednesday January 3, 2018 on Starr Today, Dr. Apaak believes the government has not shown enough commitment to ending the felling on rosewood in the Northern region, accusing of discrimination.
“I am very close to believing that because I had earlier made a statement sometime last year in parliament which was referred to the Speaker to the sub-committee on Lands and Forestry and as I speak to you today, we are in the year 2018 the committee has not brought the report before the House. If no action is taken clearly the conclusion that I’d reach is that government is discriminating in as far as protecting the Savanna Woodland forest is concerned,” he told host of Starr Today Atiewin Mbillah-Lawson.
He therefore urged government to channel the same level of enthusiasm in the fight against galamsey to that of the ban on felling of Rosewood.

Tom Brake, MP for Carshalton and Wallington, has this week met with pupils from Amy Johnson Primary School, taking the time to meet them after their tour around the Houses of Parliament.
Tom with students from Amy Johnson Primary
Amy Johnson Primary School, at the heart of the Roundshaw estate, were invited to bring a class to Westminster on the 9th of February and quizzed Tom on what a day in the life of an MP is really like.
The children asked the Lib Dem MP about both the ups and the downs of being a MP, to which he answered: “I love my job because it gives me the opportunity to meet so many interesting people! Tomorrow, I’m going to meet with the High Commissioner of Sri Lanka as the official representative of the Government and today I am meeting you!”
When asked on whether he would like to be King for a day, Mr Brake commented: “I don’t think they’ll ask me to be King for a day because there are plenty of people whose turn it is before mine! But I am on the Privy Council which means that I do get to help make the decision about who the next King will be”.
And when asked which law he would pass if he had the choice to put anything through Parliament, he said ”I would want to make sure that all teachers are qualified, or seeking qualification, when they are put in charge of teaching you!”
Teachers from Amy Johnson confirmed that they are all qualified!
“It is so good to see children at that age taking an interest in politics and I’m pleased to have played a role in encouraging their enthusiasm for politics. Many of them said they wanted to become MPs! I hope to bump into them in Westminster again in the future.”

These patches should be rejected. Ideally a patch contains a minimal change
set. The source tree should be in a well defined state before and after the
commit, e.g. everything compiles and the test suite passes on selected simulators.

These messages in the master repository are an error. In fact they do not show

The current mails are quite well. What do you miss? They show important meta

commit message, the files changed with details, and the changes itself.

After 69 years of illegal Israeli occupation and colonization of Palestine that lead to the historical Nakba or ethnic cleansing of Palestinians, the widespread myths about the Palestinian/Israeli conflict are still rampant in the United States. In addition, the official Israeli narrative of the conflict is the only narrative in any media discourse on Palestine, even on more progressive media outlets such as the PBS and NPR, in this country. The proposed panel includes a film screening of an upcoming documentary, 1948: Creation & Catastrophe, which documents the historical events of the year 1948 and the devastating impact of the creation of the state of Israel on the Palestinians, followed by a three-speaker discussion of the film. This year marks not only the 69th anniversary of the Palestinian Nakba, but also the centennial of the infamous Balfour Declaration, which promised world Jewry a national homeland in Palestine by the English government, with total disregard of the rights of the indigenous Palestinian population, so parallels will be drawn between the Palestinian experience and the experiences of other marginalized groups, such as Native Americans and Blacks in the United States.

Edwin Vanderbruggen | 7 August 2015
A new draft of the Public Debt Management Law (the Draft Law), which is not yet in force, is aimed at restating and clarifying some of the existing rules with respect to Government loans, bonds and guarantees. The Draft Law replaces the practically irrelevant (but strictly speaking still operative) Government Securities Act of 1920. The Draft Law sets forth who within the Government has the authority to borrow money and what for. A section is reserved for Government bonds, which seems to have been one of the main reasons to prepare this law. The Draft Law also restates the rules with respect to borrowing by divisions, municipalities and state-owned enterprises (SOE). We take a first look at the new rules, and ask ourselves how investors and lenders may be impacted.
Which Government organization may borrow money?
The Union Government Law 2010 placed the authority to “negotiate, decide and conclude” financing squarely with the Union Government, which comprises (i) the President of the Union; (ii) the Vice Presidents of the Union, (iii) the Union Ministers and (iv) the Attorney General of the Union. This is confirmed on a more specific basis in the annual Union Budget Laws (UBL) which typically provide in a chapter on external financing. However, Pyidaungsu Hluttaw (the bicameral National Assembly). approval is normally required for the budget itself, including its entries for external financing (see below). In reality, the Government’s authority to obtain financing is delegated to the Ministry of Finance (formerly, Ministry of Finance and Revenue) (MOF). This is specifically provided in the SBLs. The Minister of Finance and the Deputy Ministers of Finance play a major role in approving any type of finance or guarantee.One of the departments of the MOF, the Union Budget Office (UBO) or also referred to as the Budget Department compiles, analyzes and administers the budgets from the various organizations.The SBO has ten sections, three of which follow a line of organizations which produce budgets, notably the Ministries and Departments Budget Section, the State Economic Enterprises Budget Section and the Municipalities Budget Section The Draft Law does not really change that. S. 3 Draft Law now states explicitly that “the Minister of Finance is the only person authorized to borrow money domestically or overseas or to issue Government bonds”. The Draft Law also states that such authority is, as was previously provided under each yearly Union Budget Law, subject to that Union Budget Law. Hat has changed is that now there is a legal basis separate from the yearly Union Budget Law, which in theory could provide differently on the subject each year, for the Government’s authority to borrow money with approval by the National Assembly.
Can states and regions obtain external financing by themselves?
The Constitution 2008 provides that Myanmar’s states and regions have their own budgets which are approved by their respective state or region legislatures. Nevertheless, “the Union Government will include and verify the budgets from Ministries and organizations at a state or region level” (s. 230 Constitution). The state and region budgets are in fact wholly integrated into the Union budgets, which is not surprising since nearly all tax revenue collected nationwide goes into the national treasury and not directly to the states or regions. Only the land revenue tax and a few other minor local taxes are not paid into the national budget (Schedule 5 of the Constitution 2008). The Draft Law now states clearly in s. 30 that states and regions may indeed raise finance themselves, but only in accordance with the Union Budget Law as approved by the National Assembly, and after permission from the Government. Other sections of the Draft Law, notably s. 20 and 21 Draft Law, raise the possibility that instead of states and regions borrowing externally with Government permission and National Assembly sanction, the Union would raise money itself and on-lend this to the states and regions. This might be a more likely scenario given the fact that the Union also controls the outlays made to the states and regions. Anyway, the crux is that, yes, states and regions may indeed borrow money. There is no mention of any “state or region bonds”, in the Draft Law though. This seems to be the exclusive domain of the Union. In all cases, the state and region concerned is legally bound to (1) obtain union Government approval and (2) to include the loan and the project for which the money was raised in the Union Budget, which requires National Assembly approval.
Must the National Assembly approve individual loans or bonds?
With each UBL, the National Assembly authorizes the Union Government to “obtain loans” or “issue bonds”. The National Assembly need not be involved with negotiating the terms and conditions, as this matter is also authorized to the Government. The UBL does refer that the Union Government may agree to “reasonable interest rates” which raises some doubt on the how this may be determined. In practice, the National Assembly does not interfere with interest rates. The Draft Law provides that nevertheless, the agreement may only be signed “after such agreement has been approved by the Government” (s. 16 Draft Law). However, the National Assembly is involved insofar it needs to discuss and approve the State budget in relation to which the loans pertain. The Constitution provides that the Union Government drafts the budget and prepares a bill on that basis each year (s. 221 Constitution), after coordinating with the Financial Commission. The Financial Commission is chaired by the President of the Union, and the two vice-chairman are two Vice Presidents. The Financial Commission also counts the Attorney General, the Auditor General and the Chief Ministers of the Regions and States as members. The secretary of the Financial Commission is the Union Minister for the Ministry Finance. The Union Government will “include and verify” the budgets from the different Union Ministries and the budgets of other organizations which exist at Union level (s. 230 Constitution), as well as Ministries and organizations at a state or region level. All these budgets are submitted to the Financial Commission which will issue a recommendation including on the permitting of loans (s. 230 c) i) Constitution). A budget bill is then submitted by the President for approval to the National Assembly in accord with the provisions of the Constitution (s. 103 Constitution).
How can the Government issue a guarantee for a project?
The Draft Law contains a special chapter dedicated to guarantees. It provides that “the Minister of Finance may issue guarantees and other forms of guarantee for loans to any person, association of persons or projects in accordance with such stipulations as may be approved by the Government and the Pyidaungsu Hluttaw” (s. 23 Draft Law). Ministers of other ministries may also give guarantee, but only if specifically mandated by the Minister of Finance. This means that, for example, the Ministry of Transport or the Ministry of Electric Power are unable to issue a guarantee for an infrastructure or a power project by themselves unless the Minister of Finance has granted them the specific authority to do so. The power of the Government to issue guarantees for projects or for that matter for debts of SOEs is under the Draft Law limited to instances where the National Assembly has approved the matter. The Draft Law does not state which degree of detail is required for the National Assembly’s approval. Is an individual approval of the exact terms of the guarantee required? Presently, that is not how it’s done. The current practice has been that the National Assembly approves a project in general terms and allows the Government to provide guarantees in connection with that project. In s. 12 of the UBL 2012, for example, it is stated that:
“The Minister of the Ministry of Finance may, on behalf of the Union, furnish guarantees for taking of loans under this Chapter III”.
In other words, the reference in the UBL is made to loans or guarantees in connection with projects or expenditure identified in the Union budget, not in general. The UBL does not provide a legal basis for the Union Government to issue guarantees for projects which are not provided for in the Union budget.
