Of all the books in the world, the best stories are found between the pages of a passport. Someone who has been living that motto is Bernard Fayd’herbe, who packed up his saddle and kit bag and spent the last year on the road, completing a season in Mauritius and then moving on to Dubai for the World Cup Carnival, where he partnered Mike de Kock charge Fawree in the UAE Derby.
Bernard left South Africa shortly after July day 2016 to join the powerful Gilbert Rousset stable in Mauritius. He acquitted himself with aplomb, riding 3 winners at his first meeting and notching a total of 23 wins (including two Mauritian Gr1’s) and 48 places from 94 rides for the season, for a 24.5% win and 51% place strike rate. Having completed the season, he decided to base himself in Dubai for the World Cup Carnival, arriving on 5 December 2016.
Like superstar people, superstar horses occasionally also require specialist handling. Bernard has a reputation for having a deft touch with the slightly trickier characters and he confirms that he got the ride on Fawree thanks to his reputation in the pens.
With Bernard in the irons, Fawree debuted over 7 furlongs on 29 December 2016 and finished second, despite having missed the break. He was not a model citizen at the pens on his second outing on 12 January 2017, but nevertheless led pillar to post for an easy 5 length win. However, things came really unstuck in Super Saturday’s 1600m Al Bastikaya on 4 March 2017, when Fawree’s hood was removed a little too soon and he crashed through the pens, dislodging Bernard in the process. “We thought we’d got through to him, but clearly not,” Bernard shrugs. “Super Saturday was our prep race for the Derby. When he dumped me, that was probably our winning chance gone.”
Mike drafted in the services of South African horse behaviourist, Malan du Toit who spent a week working with Fawree, the Mike de Kock team as well as the Meydan starting team to solve the problem. Bernard takes a keen interest in the horses he rides, famously pitching in with the grooming and stable work for J J The Jet Plane during his 2011 campaign. He was equally hands-on with Fawree assisting Malan and the team in getting the job done. “Malan did a great job,” agrees Bernard. “We worked with him every day – Malan, Trevor Brown, myself and the groom – and he changed within a week.”
Regarding the incident on Super Saturday, Bernard explains “When they pulled the hood off, he anticipated that the gates would be open and he jumped. Unfortunately they weren’t open, so he gave himself a fright. We schooled him with the hood and without it. As soon as we put the hood on, he got very upset, so in the end we left it off and he was a lot better like that.”
Fawree was put through the stalls on 17 March and was re-passed with flying colours. On World Cup night, he loaded and jumped on terms, and despite a wide draw as well as traffic problems to contend with, he finished a very creditable 7th.
“Apart from his phobia in the pens, he’s a really sweet horse. He’s lovely to ride at work in the mornings, and to work with in the box. He’s obviously had a bad experience in the gates at some point and it became a bit of a phobia for him.
Was there much in the way of media attention? “Laura King did a really nice interview about him. With Fawree being difficult and after the incident where he dislodged me in the pens, there was quite a bit of talk about him. Everyone was interested and I think everyone was relieved when he jumped out of the pens on World Cup night and we managed to get him to race.”
Starters / ground staff
Bernard was very complimentary about the support from the Meydan starters and ground crew. “They’ve got an extremely professional team. They’ve got horses arriving from all over the world with different gradings and have to work it all out, try and work them all together and get everything to run as smoothly as possible. They can’t afford to have a hiccup. The guys are very good. When we couldn’t get Fawree right and Mike decided to bring Malan over, the two teams worked very well together and I think the local guys learnt quite a bit from Malan too.”
Asked to describe his Dubai experience, Bernard says, “It’s obviously really nice, you get to see some really wonderful horses that come through here. It has been very hard to get outside rides because all the stables here have two or sometimes even 3 retained jockeys, so they don’t use outsiders – not even for work riding. Mike’s been very good to me and whenever he could, he has given me rides, so that’s helped.” In terms of the lifestyle he comments that the cost of living has gone up since his last visit, “but it’s been really good and I’ve enjoyed Dubai.”
From the jockey room
Bernard has ridden at the Carnival before, riding a Dubai World Cup 3rd on Paris Perfect for Neil Bruss in 2009 as well as winning the Al Quoz Sprint on J J The Jet Plane in 2011. “It’s a helluva experience,” he enthuses. “There is an awesome atmosphere. You walk into the jockey room and you’re brushing shoulders with the best jockeys in the world. The who’s who of racing are all there and it’s a big night for everyone involved. Everyone is just concentrating on their specific race and their horse, but everyone gets on so well. The guys are all so down to earth, we chat and carry on and everyone’s quite friendly. Unfortunately this time all my eggs were in one basket and things didn’t work out the way I’d have liked results-wise, but that’s the risk you take,” he says matter of factly.
“Unfortunately Fawree missed out on one prep run and with the Derby being only his third run, he didn’t have the race experience or fitness. From my draw, I had to commit and go hard to get up there and hold my position and I used quite a bit of him up doing that. Down the back straight, he was very green and running in snatches and when we came into the straight, he was starting to flatten out. Two horses closed in on each side of us, one ran out of room and went into my side, and two of us got squeezed out. I had to check badly and that probably cost me 6th place, but that’s just racing, I suppose,” he shrugs.
“He just needed more time and wasn’t quite ready to play catch up all the time. You can’t afford a hiccup here. Three months is such a short programme and if there is even a little issue, it’s hard to make that up. That one missed prep meant he was always having to play catch up and all in all everything just came too soon. But he will be a much better horse next season, so there is lots to look forward to.”
Mike’s Kentucky Derby runner Mubtaahij became something of a fan favourite during the Triple Crown campaign and is still one of the yard’s stars and put up a great run in the Dubai World Cup to finish 4th. “What an honest horse,” says Bernard. “He also had an interrupted prep and I think he ran a great race. Johnny Geroudis looked after Mubtaahij. It was his horse and no-one else worked with him. Johnny basically lived with the horse, so he was very happy with the result.”
Green Street Bloodstock
Aside from his riding commitments, Bernard’s Green Street Bloodstock venture with Justin Vermaak has grown from strength to strength. “It’s doing really well. In South Africa Greenstreet has got 55 horses, and some really exciting young horses. Greenstreet also has 3 in Singapore and of those one has already won first time out, so it’s been going really well and we are looking forward to seeing it progress. Justin has been working hard and travelling a lot between Singapore, Dubai and South Africa.”
Where to next?
“It’s been a tough season and from here I’m off to China on the 28th to ride in the International Race. Dubai Racing sends a whole lot of horses to China to race there and it’s the Dubai jockeys against the Chinese riders. The Dubai Racing Club does it once a year to help promote racing in China. The race day is on 2 April. After that, I’m back to Cape Town on around the 3rd of April and then I’ll be back for good.” His plans are to freelance initially ‘until things change.’

Our purpose – to simplify the complex. Our Document automation platform builds workflows that enable document creation in a timely, accurate and compliant environment.
Consulting with you, we will identify workflows that currently require high levels of manual intervention, multiple data inputs and are often governed by regulatory requirements.
Document automation, sometimes referred to as document assembly, is the process of using systems or software to efficiently generate electronic documents at speed. It is essentially about automating the process of creating complex personalised documents on a large scale, without having to complete the time consuming manual tasks that are traditionally involved in volume document creation
We automate previously complex and cumbersome processes, stripping out the requirement for manual intervention and freeing up staff time. Creating robust templates we ensure compliance to legal and regulatory demands; data feeds are channelled through our secure file transfer systems and then processed on our Document Automation platform. The result is a seamless workflow that creates printed or electronic document outputs with minimal input required from our clients.
Document automation is a valuable tool in sectors that are required to send out legally compliant or regulatory documents. These will contain high levels of personal and specific transactional data that then drive differing legal clauses or regulated content. Connect work with a number of clients in the Social Housing, Local Government and Financial Services sectors delivering document automation solutions. The work has enabled our clients to significantly reduce the time needed to manage their regular mailings such as rent reviews, building work notifications, council tax billing and insurance renewals.
To learn more about how the team at Connect worked with PA Housing to deliver an effective document automation solution, you can read the case study.

Tesla’s China woes are intensifying, with the electric automaker headed by billionaire entrepreneur and co-founder Elon Musk seeing another top executive in China leaving the company after a tenure that lasted less than a year.
June Jin, vice president of communications has chosen to depart from the company, according to a Tesla China spokesperson – after last year two other top managers also left the company – just last December the automaker’s China President Veronica Wu quit her post. Musk last month also acknowledged that auto sales of electric cars during the fourth quarter were lower than expected – with buyers in the country still concerned about the technology and the easy access to recharging facility. Palo Alto, California-based Tesla Motors started last year delivering the Model S luxury electric sedan in the world’s largest auto market. The carmaker so far has established nine stores and service centers in six Chinese towns and signed partnership agreements with numerous companies – including China Unicom and Soho China Ltd – to establish charging stations. They currently have there the second-largest recharging network after the United States, with 700 power points in 70 cities across mainland China.
While authorities in numerous cities have started capping the number of traditional vehicles on their streets – with electrics receiving a “carte blanche” including when it comes to registration fees – Chinese consumers are not eager to adopt the so-called “new energy vehicles”, which encompass plug-in hybrids and electric powered by batteries or fuel cells. The main deterrents seem to be the higher up-front cost, lack of recharging facilities and limited driving range for the full electrics.

First the financial industry tells us we aren't saving enough to make up for shrinking pensions and Social Security funds.
Now experts are warning that what we have saved is ripe for scam artists.
But the solution isn't to worry: Excessive stress can make investors more susceptible to fraud, new research shows.
In a survey of 315 investors, including 165 fraud victims, researchers found that the victims had higher incidences of negative life events than did non-victims. Death of spouses, divorce and financial difficulties had all occurred in higher numbers among the victims than among the non-victims.
The NASD, a securities industry self-regulatory group, commissioned the two-year study in an effort to uncover the roots of investment scams that defraud elderly people of their retirement savings.
Elder fraud is booming and expected to surge even more as the Baby Boomers age. This bigger pool of potential victims is spilling out of the workforce with control of much larger sums of retirement money than people in previous generations, who typically left work with a monthly pension check.
"We're seeing a lot of complaints from senior citizens," said NASD Vice Chariman Mary Schapiro. "A lot of them fear they haven't saved enough, and this gets people into far riskier investments."
All kinds of life stress can induce a gambler's mentality, where investors feel they must go out on a limb to get back in the game, said Anthony Pratkanis, a psychology professor at University of California at Santa Cruz, who led the study as part of the Consumer Fraud Research Group. The study was unveiled recently at a Securities and Exchange Commission summit on senior citizens' issues.
Stress factors cited in the study included home foreclosures, concerns about owing money or not having enough for emergencies and a negative change in financial status, along with other, non-financial stressors.
Non-victims averaged fewer than six such stressors, while victims had on average experienced nearly eight, according to the study, "Off the Hook Again: Understanding Why the Elderly Are Victimized by Economic Fraud Crimes."
"These events tend to chew up our coping mechanism," Pratkanis said, explaining why fraud victims are more vulnerable to con artists' pitches.
"So when we see these stressful events happening in loved ones' lives, we should recognize them as flags and spend more time with them," not only to comfort them but also to help ward off scams, he said.
The study also examined actual tapes supplied by law enforcement agencies of fraudulent sales pitches, many having to do with fraudulent oil well investments. Common pressure tactics ranged from using social consensus ("I'm in this as deeply as you.") to scarcity ("There are only two units left in this well.").
Con artists sometimes became belligerent, telling victims that it was illegal to hang up on them during a "verification" process.
Researchers also queried victims and non-victims on financial literacy measures, finding that victims actually scored higher than non-victims, though they are more open to listening to all kinds of sales pitches. Fraud victims, in fact, were more likely to be male, college-educated and married (though more women fall victim to lottery scams).
This proves education alone may not be enough to inoculate all investors against fraud, researchers said.
"Education is still critical, but with senior citizens it's not enough," Schapiro said. Beyond financial literacy, she said, investors who have been too trusting need to develop a more critical eye toward sales pitches and be less polite to salespeople.
One good way to start protecting yourself is to listen to these high-pressure sales tactics when it's not you alone on the telephone.
The sales pitches that the researchers studied are available on the NASD Foundation Web site (www.nasdfoundation.org).
And don't forget to thoroughly check out anyone with whom you invest money. A good place to start is the NASD BrokerCheck service, at www.nasdbrokercheck.com or by calling 1-800-289-9999.

Abingdon Classics … Volume 5 Number 8
By Harvey M. Wolen
It's a bright, sunny, warm, clear day and you're motoring along a tree-lined country road revelling in the pleasures that only an MG has to offer. Sputter! Pop! Jerk! The tach and speedo needles race each other to the zero peg. Quietness envelopes the scene and you coast over to the shoulder of the road with that sinking feeling in the pit of your stomach.
However, all is not lost. You've planned ahead. Snuggled in the boot is your 'emergency kit'. If you've done your homework adequately, you could be pressing on in a matter of minutes.
Figuring out what spares and tools to carry in the very limited space available is the tricky part. Let's separate road emergencies into three categories for our analysis. Class one are those malfunctions which need rectifying but do not immediately totally immobilize the car: alternator failure, blown head gasket (maybe), transmission bothers, brake failure (haven't we all driven with only the handbrake?), damaged exhaust system, burned valve, etc. We can ignore these modes of failure for our purposes here.
Class two are those failures which may immobilize the vehicle, but for which local repair is available: punctured tyre, out of petrol, out of oil or coolant, flat accumulator (dead battery), etc.
Class three is the mode of failure that completely immobilizes the vehicle and for which it is not likely that local repair can be obtained. This is the critical class that we must prepare ourselves for. Obviously, major failure such as a fractured connecting rod or crankshaft is beyond the realm of roadside repair. Let's take a close look at those types of roadside emergencies that we can handle.
According to the American Automobile Association, the most common type of roadside failure involves the electrical system, the second most common failure is the fuel system. Yes friends … the Prince of Darkness has a following in Detroit too!
My electrical spares kit includes an ignition coil, sparking plugs, ignition contact set, fuses, small (tail/stop) lamps, a static timing lamp, plastic electrical tape and clip leads. The clip leads (small alligator clips on each end of three foot lengths of 16 or 18 AWC wire) and timing lamp are an absolute must for trouble-shooting an elusive electrical problem. The lamp is an indicator of the presence (or lack of) voltage at the point in question. The leads are needed to temporarily supply that voltage to the needy component.
You can perform 'by-pass' surgery on electrical components by jumping across that component with the clip lead.
Any faulty switch, wire, fuse, relay, connector, contact, resistor, etc., can be thusly bypassed. Caution: don't bypass the starter-current carrying components with a clip lead! Carry at least three leads. Fabricate these or purchase from electric supply stores (Radio Shack part number 278-002). Longer lengths can be made up by hooking two in series. Use rubber boots over the metal alligator clips for safety. Use the static timing light for verifying electrical continuity and for static ignition timing as well.
Plastic electrical tape can be used for wrapping wires, of course, but also for temporary repair of water hoses. Wrap the burst hose (after draining water and drying the area), tightly with several layers of tape stretching the tape tightly as you wrap. Use 'half-lap' layers … that is, overlap each wrap only half the width of the tape, in a spiral pattern. Do not stretch the tape for the last few turns. This is so that the tape tension will not unwrap the end of the tape. Run the cooling system un-pressurized (cap loose) until a proper repair can be made.
A word of caution about plastic tape: keep a full roll of tape, preferably in an air-tight container, in your kit, but if you haven't used the tape for a couple of years, replace it with a fresh roll. Plastic tape has a limited shelf life … it's not going to remain usable indefinitely.
Tools required for electrical repair consist of diagonal cutting pliers, wire stripper (or knife), needle nose pliers and screw drivers.
My fuel system spares kit is comprised of fuel pump, fuel hose, hose clamps, and feed line cap. You could economize by carrying only a fuel pump diaphragm and contact points set, but do you really want to rebuild a fuel pump at roadside?
If your fuel pump is 'hard plumbed' into the line with flare nuts, banjoes and copper tubing, it is strongly recommended that you convert them over to rubber hose connections. When laying on your back under the car which is teetering on it's 0.E.M. jack, you don't want to be fussing with flare nuts and brass fitments. Being able to simply push on a rubber hose also obviates the need to carry the required Whitworth size spanners. The feed line cap is necessary to keep the petrol tank from emptying whilst the fuel pump is being swopped. It is fabricated simply by cutting a short piece of hose and plugging the end with a rod bolt or ??
Before leaving the subject of fuel pumps … if you are tempted to deviate from original by using one of those inexpensive 'universal' pumps, be aware that the output pressure of this type of pump is much too high for MG carburettors. You will need a fuel pressure regulator set to '1', on the adjustable scale and that still may be too much.
Some provision should be made for repairing or replacing a broken throttle cable. A complete cable need not be carried as it's the inner wire that breaks. A spare can be made up from motorcycle clutch cable inner wire with the appropriate end fitment soldered on. Emergency cable ends are handy for this purpose and can also be used to repair choke cables, etc. These preclude the need for soldering equipment, as they attach to the cable via a screw clamp arrangement. These are now available at auto supply stores as well as motorcycle shops.
A spare alternator belt should be carried as well as the tools to effect the replacement. A rubber freeze plug replacement (as suggested by William H. Sapp in the December 1984 issue of Abingdon Classics) could prove to be indispensable.
Have we forgotten anything? Oh yes-a spare set of keys, hidden on the car (but accessible) might be very convenient some day.

Hence, the aim of this study was to survey the various aspects of disinfection methods of infectious waste on the basis of environmental health specialist insights.
Material and Methods: For performing this study, a questionnaire was prepared and the opinions of the specialists were gathered about five disinfection and disposal methods of infectious wastes, and finally the data were analyzed. Moreover, the preferences of the specialists for selecting each method were also asked based on 9 various aspects.
Results: It was found that health issues received the highest priority (with 26% of desirability) from the specialists in selecting the method, while the lowest priority was assigned for financial issues (with 8% of desirability) and political acceptability (with 6% of desirability). Environmental health specialists believed that autoclaving and waste incinerating with 77.8% and 44.1% of desirability, respectively, are the most favorable and undesirable methods for disinfecting the infectious wastes. The results showed that the disinfection is a top priority for the specialists, and, with respect to current situation, they did not make any significant difference between on-site and ex-situ disinfecting methods, which is reflected in the scores of 3.65 and 3.72 for these two scenarios.
Conclusion: Overall, health aspects have the most important priority in the management of infectious wastes. Therefore, autoclaving and microwaving are the most appropriate methods for the disinfection of such wastes. Landfilling and incineration were not suggested for the disposal or treatment of infectious wastes.

Dennis Eckersley can still come up with the save in a tough spot.
Flanked by 50 Hall of Famers, cheered by hundreds of fans and staring out at his parents, Eckersley repeatedly fought back tears Sunday and managed to complete his induction speech into the Baseball Hall of Fame.
The cocky right-hander with the mustache and shaggy hair was humbled.
"It was brutal. I've never been through something like this. I can't explain it," said Eckersley, who was elected on the first ballot in January with former Milwaukee Brewers star Paul Molitor.
In 24 seasons with five teams, Eckersley appeared in 1,071 games, the most of any Hall of Fame pitcher, and finished 197-171 with 390 saves.
The sweet-swinging Molitor accumulated 3,319 hits in his 21-year career with Milwaukee, Toronto and Minnesota.
Also inducted were longtime Oakland Athletics and San Francisco Giants broadcaster Lon Simmons, who won the Ford C. Frick Award for major contributions to baseball broadcasting. The New York Times' Murray Chass gained entrance as the J.G. Taylor Spink Award recipient for meritorious contributions to baseball writing.
Eckersley, who broke in with Cleveland in 1975, began his career anew after the Chicago Cubs dealt him to Oakland at the start of the 1987 season -- when his baseball life seemed all but over because of a drinking problem.
Under the guidance of manager Tony La Russa and bullpen coach Dave Duncan, Eckersley was converted from a starter into an overpowering reliever and quickly became the game's dominant closer, expected to pitch only the ninth inning when the Athletics had a lead.
Eckersley grew up in the Oakland area and his parents were always near when he was playing. They were there on Sunday, even though his father is confined to a wheelchair and breathes with the help of an oxygen tank because of emphysema.
"My parents were there for me, and they're here for me now," Eckersley said.
Molitor also praised his parents, who are deceased.
"Somehow, in the midst of raising eight kids, she managed to see me play a lot of games," Molitor said of his mother, who died in 1988. "But my mom always thought she was a jinx. She'd come to the games and watch them from her car or she'd hide behind a tree. It continued even to the major leagues. I'd leave her seats in the family section and I couldn't find her. She'd walk around looking for an empty seat."
His father died of cancer two years ago but knew this day would come.
"I know how much he wanted to be here," Molitor said.

Discover how hypnotherapy could help you to control anxiety and panic attacks
Anxiety & Panic Attacks
When we perceive something to be a problem or threat, our body responds by releasing chemicals such as adrenaline which enable us to react to the situation. This is useful when faced with an actual threat or danger and a certain amount of anxiety is natural; it helps us to stay focused whilst alerting us to things that need attention, but if we experience too much anxiety over a period of time, it can have a negative impact on life. Read more »
The most effective therapy for you depends on your individual situation. Hypnotherapy can often be helpful for addressing anxiety and panic attacks by helping you to relax, increase your confidence and learn new ways of dealing with anxiety inducing situations. Talking therapy or counselling can be helpful where you may have been experiencing anxiety for some time or where there are issues from the past which may be causing problems in the present.
What to expect
Your initial consultation is an opportunity for us to meet and discuss your situation in more detail as well as answering any questions you may have and deciding on the best options for you. We will also do some hypnosis, if appropriate, to introduce you to hypnotherapy and help you prepare for future sessions. Many people find between 4 to 6 hypnotherapy sessions helpful and with talking therapy, sometimes more sessions are required.
What is anxiety?
Most of us have experienced feeling anxious at some point in our lives and to a certain extent, some anxiety is actually normal, particularly when we are facing a stressful situation. It is almost always about the future, usually because we don’t know the outcome of a particular event or situation. Anxiety can occur at different levels and whilst many people will experience a mild period of anxiousness at times, some people are affected by an anxiety disorder, which is a more intense form of anxiety and can affect the daily life of the person who experiences it.
Someone who is suffering from an anxiety disorder may avoid certain situations because they are afraid that it will trigger their anxious feelings. If left to develop, the ongoing anxiety can turn into constant fear and this fear not only interferes with every day life, but also prevents a person from achieving their true potential. Some examples include: Generalised Anxiety Disorder (GAD), Panic Disorder and Social Anxiety Disorder. Other related conditions include: Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD), Phobias and Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD).
Hypnotherapy and anxiety
Hypnotherapy is becoming more widely accepted as a method to help people overcome or reduce anxiety. Hypnosis can enable you to access a hypnotic trance state where your subconscious mind is more receptive to suggestion and positive change. The aim of hypnotherapy is to reduce the anxious feelings by developing a calmer state of mind in which you can think more clearly and begin to overcome the negative thought patterns and feelings. A variety of techniques may be used within hypnotherapy sessions including suggestion therapy, cognitive behavioural therapy (HypnoCBT) and mindfulness. Hypnotic regression or Hypnoanalysis may also be used to discover the root cause of the anxiety and develop new ways to cope when you start to become anxious.
The exact methods and techniques used and number of sessions required will vary from person to person, because everyone is different and people respond differently to therapy. However, if you are considering hypnotherapy or talking therapy, it’s important to choose a therapist who is qualified and experienced to help you. For more information, read my blog post on Choosing a Hypnotherapist.

The Sturgis North organization says it will return to Salmon Arm for its second year and will be expanded from a five-day event to eight days.
In a press release issued Friday evening, the organization says the event will run from July 15-22, 2012 and will operate entirely on the Neskonlith Indian Band site on 50th Ave. NW in Gleneden. This is the same site where a portion of the festival ran last year.
In an post-event interview, CEO Ray Sasseville told the Observer he envisioned the longer event with Salmon Arm being the base for travel to other Shuswap and Okanagan locations as a bigger draw for bikers, who want to spend warm days riding the roads of the region.
He also noted there was plenty of space at the Neskonlith site to accommodate all the events, rather than trying to spread it out over the two separate venues.
“The Neskonlith Indian Band has recieved a favourable response from the Salmon Arm band members to proceed with the 2012 Sturgis North Second Annual motorcycle event,” states the unsigned release.
The Salmon Arm Fairgrounds will not be used by the organization in 2012. Festival events scheduled for that site were poorly attended and did not draw the “family” crowd that had been hoped.
The group says they will be “engaging other communities for events during the festival” and will be making those announcements later on. Sicamous, for example, hosted a well-attended burnout event.
“There will (be) some changes made based on the feedback from our first year! We want to personally thank our loyal Sturgis Northers who made this such a great experience and want you to know that we have heard the feedback from our attendees and want to build a festival that you will enjoy and return back to for years to come,” states the release.

“Eye on City Hall”
A column of Information, Analysis, Comment, and Unfiltered Opinion
Reprinted from Oshawa Central Newspaper
Bill Longworth, City Hall Columnist
May 23, 2011
On May 12, the Mayor attended the 356th Annual Mayor's Breakfast, this hosted by the Christian Business Ministries Canada (CBMC) of Oshawa and District.
This was a public event and presumably the Mayor was going to make some pronouncements about this city. In anticipation of these announcements, Tamara LeClair, a talented local videographer, requested permission to film the event.
She was given permission by the event organizers who in turn informed the Mayor`s Office who refused the request---there being the rub that fires the inspiration for this column.
Countless others, not seeking permission, may of course have informally videoed or recorded the event. In such public events, we have been conditioned by experience to have implicit and implied permission to photograph, record, or video, unless that permission is explicitly denied either verbally or by signage
So while Ms. LeClair was polite in asking for permission to video, there was little need to do so. And of course, the mainstream media never seek permission in recording of news events, often recording at the outright annoyance of the subject of their cameras
The situation is quite different, obviously, in small private gatherings where the substance and privacy of individuals, by the nature of the gathering, is seldom for public consumption.
The Mayor`s Office, in turning down the video request, and in fact, any time they turn down an opportunity for publicity, raises serious questions.
While at first blush, the video refusal sounds insignificant, upon reflection it has huge implications for democracy and the governance of this city.
Politicians and public officials thrive on publicity and see it as a necessary component of their political success. Thus they’ll put city business on hold to go and cut a ribbon...as long as the press is there.
All politicians operate with the same motto, "Any publicity is better than none!” Unless, of course, it is the kind of publicity recently earned by the disgraced Head of the International Monetary Fund.
In a deeper vein, information is an absolutely necessary component of a democracy. According to Canada`s Supreme Court, it is a basic right of citizens to be informed of all viewpoints, as part of their enlightenment, in order to make informed ballot choices.
So straight jacketing formal and informal media limits public information and thus undermines democracy itself.
And in this age of social media, every individual can be a legitimate public commentator, and in fact, can often be as powerful as the traditional press.
This is, of course, where democracy started in the first place. Every individual had opportunity for input, comment and discussion in gatherings in public squares. And the internet and social media is now that public square of much of the social discourse and dialogue. Democracy has come full circle!
The decision to disallow LeClair's video seems to have been made by Mayor John Henry`s Executive Assistant, Mark Sheriff, an appropriate surname for a guy to straitjacket the Mayor into the straight and narrow.
Sheriff, as you will recall, is the Past President of Colin Carrie’s Conservative Riding Association that was instrumental in getting Henry elected. When Henry got elected, Sheriff resigned from that role to take his present Executive Assistant role in the Mayor’s Office.
And Sheriff, as a rabid Conservative, will get the inspiration for his political decisions from his hero, Stephen Harper, whom you will recall limited the press to five questions in the recent election. Harper wanted to keep his message straight forward and scary about what others would do to the economy without being handcuffed into explaining details of his own record or his plans for the future and why they would be better.
He simply wanted to make unsupported and unsubstantiated declarative statements unsullied by any sloppy explanations that in themselves would raise more questions in the public`s mind. He just wanted to dumb down his message so we ordinary folks could understand it. The truth of what he was saying didn’t matter.
So Sheriff, having made the decision to refuse the videoing, then worked to justify his decision. He stated LeClair, 1) didn't run a legitimate business, 2) didn't make money at it, 3) would use the video for other than personal use, and 4) would redistribute the video on facebook. He also stated that she was "unaccredited"---all clues as to how City Hall would conduct its public information campaign.
In response to questions on how to become accredited, “The Sheriff” indicated that it was necessary to be on City Hall’s List of media contacts without stating how to get on that list.
Sheriff stated that he couldn’t permit “just anyone” to video Henry because they would then have to let everyone and his brother have that right...and that will just not happen as respect for the office would be lost.
Sheriff didn’t explain how Mayor John Henry's tooling around Southern Ontario to various City and Town Council meetings in a Mackie's Moving Van to seek support for extension of the 407 highway to Hwy /35 enhanced respect for the office of Mayor of the City of Oshawa!
In any case, Sheriff’s attempts to explain his refusal to allow Ms. LeClair’s videoing of Henry's speech was obviously an amateurish grasping at straws to justify a decision he had made---but it does speak volumes about how city hall information is going to be disseminated.
Sheriff’s refusal in this case ignites serious concerns undermining the basic principle of the “free press” to report various sides of issues, events, and personalities, unhampered by the whims of City Hall.
It implies an attempt by City Hall to allow media access only to those selected which calls into question the selection criteria. Is it only those media outlets that would put a positive spin on all City Hall activity, no matter the smell, that is favoured with City Hall accessibility?
We do know that City Hall only advertises in a few “friendly” newspapers and allows distribution of those publications in the libraries and other city facilities. To keep that “friendly” designation, those papers a) print frequent pictures of prominent city politicians, b) print frequent puff (public relations) stories on prominent politicians, c) print frequent “rose-coloured glasses” stories about the city, d) never print hard stories that are critical of politicians or City Hall operations, and, most importantly, e) never do any investigative reporting to scratch below the surface of City Hall operations.
This lack of objectivity is a severe disservice to Oshawa voters and means that city taxpayers are kept in the dark about many “sensitive” stories such as the mysterious, abrupt, hasty, sudden, surprising, and completely unexpected departure of Commissioner Stan Bertoia who controlled the largest budget of any city hall bureaucrat and who was responsible for letting contracts for public works and many expensive consultant’s reports. Bertoia left a city salary of $189,000 for one of about $110,000 for a much more junior position with the TTC, a resignation that is extremely unlikely to be voluntary.
It is amazing that no other city newspaper has taken up this story. It seems gaining favour with city officials and the politicians to boost their advertising revenue from City Hall is more important than real investigative reporting to properly inform city readers.
Funny---the only city paper to take on stories like this, the Oshawa Central Newspaper, does not get any advertising revenue from the city.
Guess that is because the Central is not a propaganda rag for City Hall. It takes its responsibility very seriously, particularly with this watchdog column, in commenting objectively with informed opinion on City Hall.
Newspapers have played an important role in the development of Free Western Societies over the last 200 years, one of the principal reasons democracy has flourished, and the Central Newspaper does not take this important responsibility lightly.
City Hall's insistence on patronizing only friendly newspapers is discriminatory, anti democratic, and censorship of the worst kind, and a supreme disservice to city ratepayers.
Real social change has come from newspapers that take their responsibility seriously...and that will not change at the Central.
We shall persist as the only FREE PRESS in Oshawa, unconstrained by any need to remain popular with the politicians.
You, the Citizens of Oshawa, are the most important players in our game---and our pledge is to be diligent in our reporting to you!
We shall continue to feed you a caviar and fine wine menu of information rather than the stale bread and polluted water you might get from other city news sources.
You can depend on us!

I have been carving and sculpting wood for most of my life. I started whittling and later learned furniture making. I prefer to use local hardwoods emphasizing the natural color and grain along with the use of graceful lines and nice proportions to give a simple elegance to my work. In the last several years I have been quilting because it allows me to use cultural icons and ideas involving moral imagination.

It’s so important to be an individual. To be yourself. Truly. Erykah…Wow. Completely stripped down, bare for all to see, you’ve stated loud and clear what we must fight for. I give a standing ovation to the boldness and bravery of this art. Shot guerilla style in 2 minutes, no crew, no actors, and at the same place JFK was assassinated in ’63… It’s speaking to me on so many levels personally. Leave me questioning a lot of things within, as I continue to search and grow and become who I was truly meant to be.

River Sarasvati (Factfile)
· Mother of all Rivers (Sarawati,Sapthati,Sindhumata)
· Partly survives flowing between Satadru and Yamuna
· Identified with Harakhwati of Avesta or Halmand or with Hakra rivers
· In Rigveda,three epithets used – Ambitame,Devitame and Naditame
· No connection with rivers of Indus group
· Described as Southern and Eastern boundries of the region what was known as Brahmavarta ( Brahmavarta of the early Vedic times was an area bounded by two rivers. Saraswati and Drisadwati. both now invisible..)
· It has been identified with Chautang
Missing of a prominent river from the map is not a mystery; it is quite natural and is attributable to environmental changes. Judged in the broader perspective of geological evolution; disappearance of rivers, shifting of their courses, capture of one river by another, slow drying up of river beds, are all normal responses to tectonism, earthquakes, climatic changes and other natural events. Some recent examples are; Oxus river in central Asia has disappeared, Jordan river no more flows through Jordan as it dries up before entering Jordan, Jhelum changed its course in 1552-55 AD and Beas changed its course during 1996 flash floods. However, upto the middle of 20th century, in the absence of any credible scientific research reports, history of India was being written on the basis of linguistic theories and guesswork and our historians just presumed that Sarasvati river was only mythical, a mere imagination. However, methods based on linguistics and politics are progressively giving way to methods based on science and technology e.g. satellite imagery, archaeology, geology, geophysics, glaceology and oceanography etc. and the role of ecology in the rise and fall of civilizations/ creation and disappearance of rivers is being increasingly accepted and appreciated.
The results of scientific research carried out during last 40 years have proved, fairly beyond doubt, that Sarasvati River was not a myth but a reality and that it was a mighty river which originated from the Himalayas and met the Arabian Sea in the Runn of Kuchchh after flowing through Haryana, Punjab, Rajasthan & Gujarat states of India and Bahawalpur & Sind districts of Pakistan. These scientific evidences gathered include: -
1. Study of global climatic changes – Ecological dynamics model, which gives ecological reasons for origin, development and decay of Sarasvati river.
2. Pictures taken by LANDSAT(USA), Indian Remote Sensing Satellites [IRS-1C], French SPOT Satellites and Radar imagery from European Remote Sensing Satellites (ERS ½), which provide evidence about the flow, migration and decay of Sarasvati River.
3. References in most ancient Sanskrit manuscripts indicating different phases of development, migration and disappearance of Sarasvati River, which corroborate the satellite imagery.
4. Geological and hydrological evidences gathered by the geologists – listing the palaeochannels reflecting different stages of migration and decay of Sarasvati river.
5. Research reports from geophysicists, geomorphologists, climatologists, oceanographers and glaciologists etc.
6. Archaeological reports including marine archaeology reports.
7. Research carried out by the Rajasthan State Groundwater Board for assessing groundwater potential in Rajasthan through Hydrological drilling and dating.
Mention of River Saraswati in Literature :
These different stages in the northwest migration of River Sarasvati do get broadly reflected in the hymns of Vedas and other ancient manuscripts – the early stages agree with the description in Rigveda, Middle stages with the hymns of Yayurveda/Atharvaveda whereas the last stages coincide with the description in Mahabharata.
In Rig Veda, Sarasvati is described as the mightiest river – “Seven sistered, sprung from three-fold sources” [6:61:12]. Again it is described as “Saptathi Sindhumata” i.e., mother of seven rivers strongly flowing and swelling in volumes (7:36:6). Prayers are offered to ten rivers including Sarasvati, the names are mentioned sequentially– “O Ganga, Yamuna, Sarasvati, Sutlej, Ravi, Chenab, Marudvrudha, Jhelam, Sohana and Vyas and other rivers listen to our eulogy (10:75:5)”.
In later part of Rig Veda, Sarasvati, Sarayu and Sindhu are worshipped as three mighty rivers [10:64:9].
Therefore, it does not appeal to reason that only one out of seven rivers, one out of ten rivers or one out of three rivers would be imaginary and mythical whereas others were and are a reality. It is true that the descriptions of Sarasvati river in vedic literature are intervined with mythological events but so are the descriptions of Ganges. Therefore, instead of denying the existence of Sarasvati river, we should separate the poetic imagination from hard facts.
In Yayurveda, it is said that five equally celebrated rivers merged with the mighty Sarasvati. The same Sarasvati got divided into five glorified flows in the country. Five tributaries were Drishadvati, Satudri (Sutlej), Chandrabhaga (chenab), Vipasa (Vyas) and Iravati (Ravi). The five distributaries are named in Skanda Purana as Harini, Vjrini, Hyunk, Kapila and Sarasvati. Thus, whereas Sarasvati had 7 tributaries, including Yamuna, during Rigveda era, it was left with only 5 tributaries (minus Yamuna) by the time Yayurveda was compiled.
Mahabharata gives a clear geographical account of Sarasvati becoming a non-perennial river vanishing and re-appearing in the deserts [3:80:118 & 9:36:1], surviving in the form of a number of lanes e.g. Brahmasar, jyotisar, Kaleswar (in Haryana), Katasar, Pandusar & Ravisar (in Rajasthan). Kurukshetra is described as located in the south of Sarasvati and north of Drishadvati [Mbh. 3:81:115]
Thus, pictures taken by Remote Earth Sensing Satellites Corroborate the references to location and course of Sarasvati River in ancient Vedic literature.
Additional Reading -- Geographical Evidence of various topographics in the Vedas !!!
The geographical evidence as to be found in the hymns of Vedas throws some light on the course of Indo-Aryan migration and the origin of Hinduism. Whether the Indo-Aryans came from Central Asia or not depends largely on the interpretation of the geographical allusions in the Rig and Yajur Vedas. The hymns in praise of rivers in the 10th blcok are interesting. The author while singing the greatness of the Sindhu enumerates at least 19 rivers including the Ganges. The fifth Stanza gives a list of 10 streams, small and great-Ganges, Yamuna, Saraswati, Satluj, Ravi, Chenab, Jhelum, Maruwardwan (in J&K), Sushoma (Rowalpindi District) and probably Kanshi in the same district. This system of rivers did not remain the Saraswati. The existing delta of the Indus has been formed since the time of Alexander the Great.
The Vedic hymns reveal the initial Aryan settlements in India : western tributaries of the Indus, the Gomti (modern Gomal) the Krumu (modern Kurram) and the Kubha (modern Kabul). The one river mentioned in the North of Kabul is Suvastu (modern swat).
But the main focus of the Rig Vedic settlements was in the Punjab and the Delhi region. When the Rig-Vedic hymns were compiled the focus of Aryan settlement was the region between the Yamuna and the Sutlaj, south of modern Ambala and laong the upper course of river Saraswati. The most frequently mentioned rivers are the Sindhu (Indus), the Sarasvati (modern Sarsuti), the Drishadvati (modern Chitang), and the five streams of the Punjab.
Regarding the other geographical features, the Vedic poets knew the Himalayas but not the land south of Yamuna, since they did not mention the Vindhayas, In the east also the Aryans did not expand beyond Yamuna; for the river Ganga is mentioned only once in one late hymn.
And possibly, the Aryans had no knowledge of the oceans since the word 'samudra' in the Vedic period meant a pool of water. But the later Vedic knowledge shows that the Aryans knew the two seas, the Himalayas and the Vindhyan mountainas and generally the entire Indo-Gangetic plain.
The Aryans used various kinds of pottery and the sites where the painted grey were are found, confirm the Aryan settlements. The Vedic texts show that the Aryans expanded from the Punjab over the whole of western Uttar Pradesh covered by the Ganga-Yamuna Doab. The Bharatas and Purus known as Kuru people first lived between Sarasvati and Drishadvati just on the fringe of the Doab. Soon the Kurus occupied Delhi and the Upper portion of the doab, that is the area called Kurukshetra, After this event, the Kurus joined with the people called Panchalas who occupied the middle portion of the Doab or the moder districts of bareilly Dadaun and Farrukabad. It was the Kuru-Panchalas who had set up their capital at Hastinapur situated in the district of Meerut. Later the Kauravas and the Pandavas belonging to the same Kuru clan fougth out a battle which led to the extinction of the Kuru clan.
And by 600 B.C. the Aryans spread from the Doab further east to Kosala in Eastern U.P. and Vedeha in north Bihar. The former town is associated with the story of Ramchandra, but it is not mentioned in Vedic literature.
Exploration of Saraswati River
Ministry of Water Resources has no plans to explore the underground flowing river Saraswati and exploit its water. However, Oil & Natural Gas Corporation (ONGC) has taken up a project named “ONGC Project Saraswati” for exploration of deep ground water resources in drought prone arid/semi arid regions of India with the objective to investigate
(a) Existence of situations akin to Libyan Great Manmade River Project and their exploitation in drought prone arid/semi arid regions of India.
(b) Alternatively, identification of deeper aquifers for exploitation of groundwater in drought prone arid/semi arid regions otherwise not tapped by agencies such as State Groundwater Boards and central ground water bodies.
ONGC has informed that based on vertical electrical sounding survey result, one of the locations identified was taken up for drilling and the well (Saraswati-1) near Jaisalmer town has been drilled up to 554 m and produced reasonably less saline water (3050 milligrams per litres ) at the rate of 76000 litres per hour.

The two migrants were among a group of people from the “Jungle” camp who tried to access a motorway to smuggle onto trucks crossing the Channel to Britain on Monday night, local police said.
In scenes that play out nightly, police pushed back the would-be stowaways.
A fight later broke out between groups of Afghans and Sudanese returning to the sprawling “Jungle”, which is home to nearly 7,000 migrants from across Africa, the Middle East and Central Asia.
One Sudanese man died in hospital from stab wounds sustained in the clashes, the police said.
Another man was being treated for head injuries but was not in critical condition.
An investigation into the incident was underway.
The Sudanese man's death brings to 11 the number of migrants who have died this year in and around Calais, the main staging point in France for undocumented migrants and asylum-seekers trying to reach Britain.
A police source noted growing tensions in the area, where the number of attempts by migrants to halt trucks and jump aboard had grown from “five a night to around 15, 20” in recent weeks.
Last week, Calais authorities announced that the number of people living in the “Jungle” had shot up to 6,901 — 2,415 more than in June.

Assessing The Skills Needed for Leaders of Bilingual Schools in Indonesia
This study assessed the need to establish a new educational program called Masters of Bilingual Education Management (MBEM) at the Post Graduate School, State University of Malang (SUM). This study was conducted using a mixed method with surveys and focus group interviews as the data gathering methods. This study involved 89 active university students and 79 teachers/school principals completing the questionnaire about their aspirations for the MBEM graduate attributes. Six teachers/school principals and 8 students joined focused group interviews to share their experiences in bilingual education and their recommendations on the MBEM study program. The findings indicated two key points that should be considered for establishing the MBEM study program. First, the main competencies that are determined to be the graduate attributes are managerial knowledge and skills in the context of bilingual education. Second, a decision should be made whether the new study program will focus on the applied management of bilingual education or the science of management of bilingual education. Overall, the participants showed enthusiasm and interest toward the establishment of MBEM as the graduate will be equipped with the knowledge and skill to manage bilingual education and, thus, ready to be the school principal or program coordinator. The study findings recommend further analysis of the curriculum design resulting from this study for justification.

Why Sheffield United must make a move for Ethan Ampadu in January
According to a report from the Metro, Chelsea are willing to let Ethan Ampadu leave Stamford Bridge on loan in January for regular opportunities.
The teenage sensation joined Chelsea from Exeter City in 2017 and made seven appearances under Antonio Conte last term. Ethan Ampadu has also become a Wales international following a rapid rise in the last 12 months but is yet to feature under new Chelsea boss Maurizio Sarri this season.
The Welshman is certainly seen as a part of the Blues’ long-term strategy given that he signed a new five-year contract just two months ago. As Ethan Ampadu has been given the green light by Chelsea to seek pastures new until the end of the season, Sheffield United must make a move for the talented midfielder in January.
Sheffield United have enjoyed a solid start to the new Championship season and are currently placed fourth on the table with 30 points after 17 games. The Blades are just three points shy of the top spot, which is currently owned by Norwich City.
Chris Wilder has a talented squad at his disposal and he’ll be aiming to get promoted to the Premier League this term. But he needs a couple of reinforcements in January to boost his squad for the taxing second half of the season.
With injuries and suspensions a part and parcel of the game, Sheffield United need to have a strong squad to get stand a chance of getting promoted.
In that case, signing the highly-rated Ethan Ampadu makes sense. The Welsh youngster featured extensively in Chelsea’s pre-season, but it’s become clear that he has no role under Maurizio Sarri at present.
So it makes sense that Ampadu should get some serious football under his belt in the second half of the season instead of wasting a year at the periphery of Stamford Bridge.
The Wales international would get ample opportunities at Sheffield United. As Ampadu is adept at playing in the midfield and the defence, Wilder would be able to make the most use of the player’s flexibility as his team could get stretched in the second half of the season. The 18-year-old would offer the Blades some great technical ability in possession and strong defensive qualities.

Overall, Ampadu is a really good player who has the qualities to be an asset for any team. And if Sheffield United persuade him to move to Bramall Lane on loan, then Wilder’s side would be making a brilliant signing.

Rio de Janeiro Botanical Garden, Portuguese Jardim Botânico do Rio de Janeiro, one of the great tropical botanical gardens and arboretums of the world. It was founded in 1808 by John, prince regent of the United Kingdom of Brazil and Portugal (later King John VI), for introducing and acclimatizing economically beneficial plants brought from other tropical regions of the world. The garden, located on a 350-acre (141-hectare) site below high peaks, has a collection of more than 7,000 species of tropical plants. Native Brazilian plants such as aroids, palms, and woody members of the legume family predominate. A striking feature of the garden is its spectacular avenues of royal palms that measure about 100 feet (30 metres) high. The garden maintains an herbarium that has approximately 330,000 reference specimens, a fine library, and well-equipped research laboratories. It lies along a main avenue linking the districts of Botafogo and Gávea in Rio de Janeiro.

Review of 'Adje! Adje!,' by Afropop band Elikeh
The West African nation of Togo doesn't have the same reputation for churning out Afropop as countries such as Ghana, Mali and Nigeria. But D.C.-based Elikeh, fronted by Togolese singer-guitarist Massama Dogo, is seeking to change that with its mix of Afrofunk, highlife and roots -- a style it calls "Afro-high."
Elikeh's new album, "Adje! Adje!," is a serious call to action that maintains a vibe of jubilant perseverance throughout. Dogo's lyrics, sung primarily in a blend of French and the African languages Ewe and Mina, are layered over rhythms from percussionist Joseph "Papa Jo" Ngwa and drummer Tosin Aribisala and copious amounts of guitar from Michael Shereikis, John Lee and Dogo himself.
The title track is political cautionary tale, while "Oleblemi" is all joyful, skittering horns and '70s Afrorock influences. On "Madjo," Dogo's beautiful voice is served with nothing more than soft guitar accompaniment, while the near-five-minute "Get Ready," an instrumental punctuated by a few exuberant shouts, puts on full display the rhythms of Afrofunk.
Dogo has said that getting play in Togo, with its focus on the sounds of other countries rather than its own, is difficult, but hopefully tracks like "Let's March," which has Elikeh modifying a piece from Nigeria's Orlando Julius Ekemode in its own style, will soon be heard, as the songs says, from Lomé to D.C.
Elikeh performs May 27 at the Rock & Roll Hotel.

Heart bypass surgery, also known as coronary artery bypass graft surgery (CABG), is the most commonly performed surgical procedure performed on the heart to bypass the obstructed artery (the coronary artery) of the heart and improve blood flow to the heart. The coronary arteries supply oxygen and nutrients to the cardiac muscles; due to the small size of the arteries, they are often prone to accumulation of fats and cholesterol which can lead to plaque formation and the development of atherosclerosis. If these arteries are blocked there is also a risk of developing ischemic heart disease or coronary artery disease leading to the development of angina. Factors increasing plaque accumulation include high blood pressure, increased cholesterol levels, smoking and the presence of diabetes. The increase in age (greater than 55 years for women and 45 years for men) also increases the risk as does a positive family history for early heart disease. To determine the presence of coronary artery disease, a stress test accompanied by electrocardiogram monitoring of the heart and cardiac catheterisation is performed. The latter is performed by insertion of a catheter through the artery in the groin or arm to the heart, with injection of contrast medium into the arteries.
CABGs are generally performed to relieve the chest pain and reduce the risk of death from coronary artery disease. A CABG generally takes four to six hours to complete. There are many techniques of performing a CABG; a detour is created to bypass the obstructed artery. Various arteries and veins may be used as grafts, these conduits include the saphenous vein, the internal thoracic artery (internal mammary artery) and the radial artery. Before the surgery the surgeon will use a coronary angiogram to identify the blockages. The surgical procedure begins with an incision of the middle of the chest followed by a median sternotomy (cutting of sternum). Through this incision the surgeon is able to view the heart and the aorta. To achieve the cardiopulmonary bypass tubes are inserted into the right atrium of the heart which will collect venous blood from the body to the membrane oxygenator in the bypass pump (heartlung machine) thus enabling circulation of oxugenated blood to other parts of the body. The aorta is cross claped to allow bypasses to be connected to the aorta. The heart is stopped using a mixture of chemicals called cardioplegia.
Standard CABG surgery may be associated with concerns over neurological and inflammatory complications related to the bypass and thus many patients receive the off-pump CABG (OPCABG). This technique is used to perform the bypass without the use of the bypass pump. The advantage of this type of surgery is that it may be perfomed whilst the heart is still beating, thus reducing the risk of loss of memory. OPCABG has been reported to be superior in terms of length of stay in hospital following surgery and incidence of stroke; however it associated with a higher rate of mediastinal infection than CABG surgery. A technique known as minimally invasive direct coronary artery bypass (MIDCAB) is also used where the normal action of incision of the chest during the other techniques is avoided.
Heart bypasses differ in the numbers of coronary arteries bypassed in the procedure. There may be single bypass (one coronoary artery bypassed), double (two), triple (three), quadruple (four), and quintiple (five). For the coronary arteries to be bypassed, it must be ensured that the arteries are not too small, not heavily calcified, and not located within the heart muscle (intramycocardial). The recovery period after CABG (the first four to eight weeks after the surgery) is associated with higher risks of complications and hospital readmission. CABGs are associated with several risks; they are associated with significant postoperative cardiovascular morbidity and mortality in high-risk patients. Possible risks in receiving a CABG are myocardial infarctions which occur in five to 10 percent of patients. Stroke occurs in one to two percent, primarily in elderly patient. Depression is common after surgery, but is generally improved with the use of cognitive behavioral therapy. Research suggests that risks of CABG are worse in women than men. Overall mortality related to CABG is three to four percent. Mortality may be higher in women, primarily due to their advanced age at the time of CABG surgery and smaller coronary arteries as women are generally smaller than men. Mortality and complications increase with factors such as age (older than 70 years), kidney failure and presence of other diseases such as diabetes mellitus. Approximately 25 to 30 percent of patients undergoing CABG have diabetes mellitus, these patients have increased risk due to respiratory, renal and cerebral complications, and wound infections. Diabetes mellitus represents an independent risk factor for late graft failure and mortality from cardiac causes. CABGs are however performed on these patients as it results in better quality of life in the diabetic patient with severe coronary artery disease, as compared to medical treatment and the use of other surgical procedures such as percutaneous coronary angioplasty.
The long-term results after CABG surgery include possible blockage of vein grafts after surgery due to blood clotting. After a successful CABG, a patient’s anginal chest pain generally resolves; however they may experience chest discomfort due to the incision of the chest prior to the bypass. In general, the success rate of CABG is approximately 90 percent; many of these patients experience significant improvements after the surgery.

The Migrant Rights Centre Ireland (MRCI) has called upon the Government to amend the employment permit system, following yesterday’s (28th October) announcement of changes to rules for granting new permits across a range of sectors.
It urged business and employment minister Damien English to amend the system so that people on general employment permits are provided the same rights as those on critical skills permits.
This would give general employment permit holders the right to freely change employers after two years instead of five, enabling workers to better challenge exploitation. The MRCI said such changes would give migrant workers an equal right to have their immediate family with them, in addition to the right for their family members to work in Ireland.
The MRCI has continued to raise concerns of exploitation, bullying and unsafe working conditions across various industries employing people on employment permits over the last 20 years. A 2020 report exposed the exploitative and unsafe working conditions in the meat processing sector, a sector which was granted access to thousands of permits in recent years and is now being granted an additional 2,000 general employment permits.
MRCI deputy director Bill Abom said his organisation was deeply concerned that the employment permits system has changed little since its inception, and that a draconian approach to workers’ rights remains.
“People on general employment permits must wait five years before they have the right to freely change employer, making it extremely difficult for workers to challenge exploitation, bullying and unsafe conditions,” he said.
He added: “People who come to work in Ireland should be afforded the same rights as all workers. As it stands currently, this is not the case. Putting rights in the hand of workers is the best way to combat exploitation. If a worker is being poorly treated, they should be given the option to easily change employer. Right now people are too afraid to speak up against exploitation or bad conditions for fear of losing their employment permit, their income and their immigration status.”
