The Healthcare industry is one of the first industries that started using technology for keeping track of data. Healthcare API has allowed employees to access data immediately when required, helping in making decisions faster and improving the health of the masses. This leads to a greater life expectancy and better delivery of healthcare services. To focus on the needs of patients, it is important to build a system that allows healthcare professionals to access accurate data instantly.
The amount of data to be captured has grown considerably, and valuable data points get hidden and isolated. The data which is generated by the population is not easily accessible to the mass. The data is kept for use only by the healthcare institutions and providers and is accessible only by some employees.
Healthcare API companies provide solutions to similar problems and make the data available securely to employees of the healthcare sector and the population alike. This provides efficiency and helps take innovative technological decisions for the health benefit of the mass.
The amount of data to be maintained has increased largely, and healthcare providers record and analyze data in EMR systems to make decisions. This data is often separated within the application or the institution. The data is not available for general usage in any consumable form. The Healthcare sector does not want to share its data outside of its scope.
How Can API Marketplaces be Useful?
APIs are seen as digital connections in today’s technology-oriented world. Healthcare API has evolved greatly and FHIR standards are maintained in clinics for data access. API marketplaces allow stakeholders to innovate and provide solutions to the discoverability problem of data. Marketplaces influence the health clinics to contemplate how they can organize and share data, making it available through open APIs.
Healthcare API connects healthcare data consumers with data producers. It permits organizations to develop, publish and manage APIs while stressing security and managing analytics and governance. Data entitlement at a gateway can ensure healthcare providers with safe data-sharing features.
Healthcare API Marketplace Stakeholders
Producers of API include developers, designers, and testers who design, develop, share and examine healthcare APIs. The API scope for internal and external use is defined by this group. They also identify the restrictions and entitlements.
Platform owners maintain the parts and aid communication between API consumers and also give feedback on the APIs by consumers to the providers. They are responsible for developing the community and providing platform support around the API marketplace.
API consumers derive data from the Healthcare API by accessing the data. They include healthcare startups, hospitals, and health-driven initiatives that want to improve the healthcare scenario.
Parts of Healthcare API Marketplace
API marketplace has three main component sections.
- API management
- Developer portal
- API activities
API management, being the most significant, involves the runtime, security layer, governance layer, consent management layer, and analytics layer. The gateway is the initiation point for the platform, which connects with the real data backend EHR system. It fuses with the security layer to provide token-based security and entitlement abiding by the privacy policies. Strict governance, publishing, and maintenance over the development portal are required due to the sensitive nature of the data shared on the healthcare API exchange. The API governance layer manages the governance models, dependency analysis, and policy management and controls how APIs are exposed.
After the APIs are published, they must have the potential to manage, supervise and measure the APIs that have been published, which is done by the analytics part. The consent management layer looks after workflows that ensure that proper consent is given for sharing, storing, and consuming data. This depends on decisions based on machines or humans.
The developer portal promotes the APIs for consumption, sanctioning all interested groups to discover data streams and master the art of consuming them. It also concerns the data visibility problem of healthcare institutions. Specialized healthcare systems having different domains can be integrated into a central developer portal and is managed by the hospital, or provider organization.
For building a successful healthcare API marketplace with properly functioning technical components, healthcare API companies should focus on the following:
- Workshops can be organized for the API consumer, allowing them to learn how to get started with APIs.
- APIs allow innovation in the healthcare sector, encouraged by incentivized hackathons.
- The innovative projects, start-ups, and analytics dashboards can be showcased.
Products based on Healthcare API
Depending upon the consumption pattern, several healthcare API products have been developed. In the domain of healthcare, the patterns of consumption involve developing products such as registration API products, financial API products, scheduling API products, ancillary API, clinical API, public health API products, IoT API products, and so on.
Registration APIs handle functions related to registration on EMR systems. Scheduling APIs are utilized in making appointments, setting reminders, checking appointment slots, and canceling or rescheduling appointments. The transactions taking place between the healthcare providers and the patients are managed on the financial APIs. The clinical data exchange is managed through clinical APIs. The information which remains isolated from the clinical functions is monitored by ancillary APIs.
These products are developed by healthcare API companies like DigitalAPICraft, which are instrumental in helping healthcare institutions to keep a record of huge datasets, and manage, monitor, and publish them for bringing efficiency to the healthcare sector.

Okay, I liked this alright: The synths were pretty good, but seemed to lack a certain sense of depth or space to me. The bass was very nice for me, and the trap part was particularly nice. Overall I'd say good job, though a little more depth would have been nice. Keep it up!
Thanks! I'll do my best improving this song :-)

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (AP) -- Georgia and Tennessee are headed in opposite directions as they prepare for their Tuesday night collision.
Tennessee, which expected to reach the NCAA tournament this season, has lost three of its last four games to put those hopes in serious jeopardy. Georgia, picked before the season to finish 11th in the Southeastern Conference, has won four straight to move into sole possession of third place in the league standings.
Tennessee (15-10, 6-6 SEC) remains in better position than Georgia (14-10, 8-4) to reach the NCAA tournament. Tennessee is 54th and Georgia 88th in the RPI that was released Monday. Mock brackets by CBSSports.com's Jerry Palm and ESPN's Joe Lunardi have Tennessee participating in a play-in game with Georgia left out of the field.
But the Bulldogs are playing better lately.

My husband delivered the quilt to a cousin at a family reunion this past weekend. I was teaching classes and could not attend, but send along this hostess gift:
The quilting in the light stripes says: "forever .... in peace.... may you wave"
The hostess' home is decorated in Americana and I knew it would look perfect. I also knew that my husband's aunt (a quilter) would understand my panic call to my husband begging him to take a photo. Those would be Aunt Marilyn's rings in the photo.

A fully illustrated catalogue accompanies the exhibition, PATTERN ID. The 80 page catalog includes essays by Akron Art Museum Curator, Ellen Rudolph, and textile and fashion historian, Cecilia Gunzburger Anderson. Also included is a foreword by Mitchell Kahan, Ph.D, Director and CEO of Akron Art Museum as well as Rachael Blackburn Cozad, director and CEO of the Kemper Museum of Contemporary Art.
Over the last two decades, artists have increasingly turned to pattern and dress as a language with which to communicate who they are and where they come from. The experiences of culture clash, immigration, and multi-ethnicity in our globalized world have driven artists to use this visual language to chart their personal and communal histories. This exhibition, organized by the Akron Art Museum, Ohio, includes works by Mark Bradford, iona rozeal brown, Nick Cave, Willie Cole, Lalla Essaydi, Samuel Fosso, James Gobel, Brian Jungen, Bharti Kher, Takashi Murakami, Grace Ndiritu, Yinka Shonibare MBE, Mickalene Thomas, Aya Uekawa, and Kehinde Wiley.
The exhibition was on view at the Akron Art Museum from January 29-May 9, 2010 and is currently on view at the Kemper Museum of Contemporary Art, January 28-May 8, 2011.

Perpetual inventory method (PIM),
Definition of Perpetual inventory method (PIM):
System of inventory control in which the number of units of any inventory item (and the total value of inventory) on any day can be obtained from the stock records. In this method (1) all additions (purchases) and withdrawals (sales or consumption) are recorded in inventory cards as they occur to provide a running balance of quantity and cost of items, (2) a certain number of items are counted every day (or week or month) so that, by the year end, every item has been actually (physically) counted at least once. If there is any mismatch (due to human error, leakage, pilferage, loss) between the physical quantity and the quantity shown in inventory cards, the records are adjusted accordingly. Also called continuous inventory method. See also periodic inventory method.

There are many other things you will include in the saltwater aquarium besides the fish, and this will include the seahorse, coral reefs as well as urchins. Conducting a thorough research on the saltwater aquarium fish is one of the ideal things you need to consider. You have to ensure that you set up the saltwater aquarium properly before you buy the fish. You will than wait for some days for the saltwater aquarium to settle, before you introduce the fish. You will need to click here in this homapage when you want to read more on the best ways to maintain the saltwater aquarium. When you are out for the purchase of the saltwater aquarium fish, you will ensure that you read more here in this article to learn the details.
In case it is your first saltwater aquarium, you will find it a daunting task to create the population. There can be an increase in the population of the fish, and the saltwater aquarium should be able to contain the growth. When you start your tank, you will want to keep fish that are easy to take care of. Prior to deciding the saltwater aquarium fish that you need to keep in your tank, you will make sure that you compare them in the saltwater aquarium fish comparability chart. Your choice of the saltwater aquarium fish should be those that can live together in the tank, and avoid attacking each other. Therefore, you will introduce the fish in the saltwater aquarium, once you have found options that are compatible.
After setting the tank, you will consider the clownfish as one of the fish species. The clownfish will be an ideal choice, as they are easy to take care of. It can even be in a large tank, but the clownfish will still adapt to the environment. The type of fish eat well and easily pair with a mate when provided with one.
Tangs is the next type of saltwater aquarium fish that you can consider. This type of fish is herbivorous in nature and will eat mainly the algae.

This is the second signing for the Seahawks in as many days after they agreed to a one-year contract with DE Ziggy Ansah.
Taylor visited with the Seahawks last month, so he was clearly on their radar as a potential addition.
Taylor, 28, is a former second-round pick of the Dolphins back in 2013. Miami traded Taylor and the No. 250 overall pick to the Browns back in 2016 for the No. 223 selection in the 2016 NFL Draft.
Taylor was in the final year of a four-year, $3.626 million contract when the Browns signed him to a three-year, $15 million deal. He was later traded to the Cardinals for a 2020 sixth-round pick last year.
Arizona waived Taylor back in November and he later caught on with the Broncos soon after.
In 2018, Taylor appeared in 14 games for the Broncos and Cardinals and recorded 18 tackles, no interceptions, a forced fumble and a pass defense.
We had him featured in our Top 50 Available Free Agents list.

Fertility breakthrough for female cancer patients
Thursday, 28 October 2010
University of Adelaide reproductive health researcher Dr Kylie Dunning was last night named the 2010 Young Investigator Award winner for her work to help preserve the fertility of female cancer survivors.
Dr Dunning, a postdoctoral researcher from the Robinson Institute and the Discipline of Obstetrics and Gynaecology at the University of Adelaide, examined the role of fat metabolism in the growth and development of ovarian tissue in the laboratory.
"Major advances in medical research have led to improved cancer therapies and increased survival rates in patients, but the use of life-saving chemotherapy and radiation therapy often leads to infertility," Dr Dunning says.
"In Australia, girls as young as 13 years old affected by cancer can have a portion of their ovaries cryopreserved for future use. What we've discovered may increase the chances of these women starting a family later in life.
"The latest technology for female fertility preservation involves growing ovarian tissue in a three-dimensional ball of gel in the lab, enabling eggs to grow and develop surrounded by their support cells, known collectively as the follicle."
This technology enables the growth of eggs in the laboratory that can then be fertilised and form embryos as in traditional IVF. In the future, these embryos could be returned to the womb to form a pregnancy and a healthy baby. By using this technology it avoids having to put back the cryopreserved ovarian tissue, which may contain cancer cells.
Dr Dunning says the use of 3-D follicle growth is extremely promising, however the growth of eggs capable of forming a healthy embryo and a baby requires further development.
"I've found that fats are a vital energy source for follicle and egg development. In fact, we've discovered that increasing the follicle and egg's utilisation of fat during 3-D follicle growth significantly improves subsequent embryo development," Dr Dunning says.
The Young Investigator Award, now in its 11th year, rewards scientific excellence in South Australia's young researchers and their ability to communicate and "sell" that science. The award final was held last night at The Sanctuary, at the Adelaide Zoo.
As winner, Dr Dunning received The Hon Carolyn Pickles Award of $10,000. Prizes of $3000 each were awarded to the two runners up, Chantelle McIntyre and Zlatko Kopecki, who are both PhD candidates from the School of Paediatrics and Reproductive Health at the University of Adelaide.
Chantelle is investigating replacing defective genes to prevent brain deterioration in children with Sanfilippo Syndrome, a rare inherited disease where the body cannot metabolise sugar.
Zlatko is researching the role of a specific protein involved in genetic blister formation in fragile skin disorders, looking at reducing its levels to improve wound healing.
The award is an initiative of the Children, Youth and Women's Health Service and the Faculty of Health Sciences at the University of Adelaide.
The University of South Australia and Flinders University are also partners in the award together with the Women's and Children's Health Research Institute and the Women's and Children's Hospital Foundation.

RARO 03: Batukizer (Live from Kunsten Museum of Modern Art Aalborg)09 October, 2020
The Copenhagen musicologist, Rasmus Schack, has become internationally revered as one of the authorities on Brazilian twentieth-century music since Batukizer, originally named Epic Vinyls From Brazil, began seven years ago. Having DJ’d acid jazz and latin varieties since the last millennium, Schack’s musical interests drew focus, following two formative periods spent in Brazil. In 2000, Schack met his wife and EVFB co-founder, Dona Clara – who just happened to be Jorge Ben’s backing vocalist for two years. And, more than just newfound love, Schack returned to Denmark with a polychrome collection of Brazilian records. Later, having returned from a trip in 2013 and, by then, collected about 600 rare records, Schack began researching, labelling and cleaning up his unearthed gems. Since 2014, the prolific mix-maker and owner of an unparalleled wealth of Brazilian rarities, has toured Europe and Brazil, collaborated with Bento Araújo on his Lindo Sonho Delirante book launch, and supported Brazilian music’s most celebrated artists such as Jorge Ben, Marcos Valle, Azymuth, Liniker e Os Caramelows and Emicida. It’s an honour to have him in for a special vinyl-only Raro Mixtape recorded at the Kunsten Museum of Modern Art in Aalborg. Epic Vinyls From Brazil has now undergone an evolution, becoming Batukizer.
Schack let us know more about his inimitable mix:
“This is a selection of some current favorite tracks from Brazilian LPs.
“They were all released between 1976 and 1985. The span of 10 years forms the base of this musical journey, touching upon master musicians as Djalma Corrêa, Tom Zé and Antonio Adolfo with excursions into folkloric themes and soundscapes on the way. There’s just one exception: The trippy final track is a newer track from German XiqueXique sampling a Brazilian vocal describing an expedition into the Amazon.
“The opening track is Bene Fonteles spectacular “Aves e Frutas (Birds and Fruits)” featuring the bird songstress Tetê. Tetê grew up on the countryside learning to sing with the birds and enter into a line of Brazilian musicians that holds nature as a main source of inspiration – people like Hermeto Pascoal, Joao Donato and Clara Nunes.
“Some independent label jazz records are flowing into the mix, with a track from Antonio Adolfo’s standout 1977 “Made at Home” album, and moving on to contributions from the amazing MPBC album series and artists like Guilherme Vergueiro, Nilson Chaves and Quintaessencia – three still very overlooked albums.
“The mix stretches the boundaries between jazz and regional music, independent and major artists and the geographical journey goes from São Paulo to Bahia and further North. For further excursions into the great Brazilian musical adventure, check out our mixtapes called Four Cornes of Brazil: FCOB-1 and FCOB-2.
Bene Fonteles feat Tete Espindola – Aves e Frutas (1983)
Nelson Ayres – Cidade Encantada (1979)
Djalma Correâ – Homenagem A Um Índio Conhecido (1978)
Nelson Ayres – Muito Tempo (1979)
Guilherme Vergueiro – Dentro De Voce (Inside Of You) (1980)
Gal Costa – O Vento (1976)
Antonio Adolfo – Aonde Você Vai? (1977)
Hyldon – Boiadeiro (1976)
Dudu Moraes – Eloiá (1985)
Caetano Veloso – Depois Que O Ilê Passar (1987)
Catia De França – Ponta Dos Seixas (1980)
Quintaessencia – Cravo E Canela (1984)
Edo Lobo feat. Joyce & Viva Voz – Rei Morto, Rei Posto (1980)
Nilson Chaves – Graviola (1981)
Trio Mocoto – Não Adianta (1977)
Tom Zé – A Felicidade (1976)
Xique-Xique – Rio Negro (2016)
This mix series plays on the Hispanic and Lusophone homonym, “Raro”. “Raro” holds two meanings in Spanish and Portuguese: “rare” and also “strange”. Sounds & Colours’ Raro Series is a crate-diggers’ mix series which embraces both meanings. Over the course of on hour, our guest DJ will delve into Latin America’s unknown, underappreciated and unbelievable music and reveal its hidden gems.

A Magistrates’ Court sitting in Abuja has rejected the request by the Nigerian police for more time to enable the force to study the formal bail application filed by the human rights activist, Omoyele Sowore, and four others.
At the resumed hearing of the case on Tuesday, the presiding magistrate, Mabel Segun-Bello, stood down the matter for two hours and directed the police lawyer, Adamu Musa, who was holding brief for James Idachaba, to go through the bail application.
The prosecution counsel earlier told the court that he was not ready for the bail application filed by the defence counsel, Marshal Abubakar, stating that they were not served within the stipulated time as ordered by the court.
He said they were served around 10.53am in the court, noting that there were issues of fact that needed their response in the application.
All efforts by the prosecution to seek adjournment were turned down by the court as the magistrate said that she had taken a judicial notice of the complaints and therefore gave the prosecution counsel two hours to peruse the application.
The matter will resume in the next two hours.
Recall that the activists were brought to court in handcuffs from the Kuje Correctional Centre.
Their lawyer, Marshal Abubakar, upon their arrival was visibly angered by the action of the prison officials and demanded the removal of the handcuffs, adding that his clients were not criminals.
The activists are standing trial on trumped-up charges of alleged criminal conspiracy, unlawful assembly and inciting public disturbance.

Ohtani’s locker was cleaned out after Friday’s 11-2 loss to the Tigers, the 11th straight game that he was held out of the lineup. He initially sustained his oblique injury on a swing while taking batting practice on Sept. 4. He remained day to day and was even in the lineup on Monday in Seattle before being scratched.
The decision makes sense, especially considering Ohtani also tore his ulnar collateral ligament in his right elbow on Aug. 23. He’s also already considered a lock to win the AL MVP Award for the second time in three years. Ohtani is scheduled to undergo surgery for the UCL tear as soon as next week, although general manager Perry Minasian said before Saturday’s game that he doesn’t know if Ohtani will undergo his second Tommy John surgery or a different operation.
"I think, in his mind, he thought there was a possibility for a procedure today, and that's why he packed," Minasian said. "It’s nothing malicious. There's no story here. He's so focused on, 'Season's over, I’ve gotta get ready for '24.' And that was what his mindset was. He's planning on being here the last homestand. He's going to be here today, tomorrow. I don’t have details on the procedure, but he wants to get it done as soon as he can."
There’s a chance Ohtani could avoid Tommy John surgery because the UCL tear is in a different spot than in 2018, but either way, it puts a new wrinkle on his upcoming free agency, as he isn’t likely to pitch in 2024. Ohtani, though, is still expected to command a record deal in free agency because of his unique two-way prowess.
His agent, Nez Balelo, said Ohtani would be ready to hit on Opening Day in 2024, no matter what kind of surgery he undergoes. And manager Phil Nevin was one of many around the organization to say he’s confident Ohtani will return as a two-way player after his elbow operation.
“Everything is going to go well for him,” Nevin said. “He’s going to attack his rehab and come back stronger than ever. I firmly believe that.”
Ohtani, 29, had the best offensive season of his six-year career and batted .304/.412/.654 with 44 homers, eight triples, 26 doubles, 95 RBIs, 102 runs and 20 stolen bases in 135 games. He leads the AL in homers, triples and walks. He also played in 10 games as designated hitter after suffering his UCL tear, as he wanted to remain in the lineup. He was held out of the lineup just twice during the season before sustaining his oblique injury.
On the mound, Ohtani went 10-5 with a 3.14 ERA and 167 strikeouts in 132 innings. But he failed to get to 162 innings, so he will not rank among qualified starting pitchers like he did last year, when he posted a 2.33 ERA in a career-high 166 innings.
“Shohei is one of a kind,” Minasian said. “He’s a great player, great person. I think anybody that knows him or has a chance to be around him knows he's a team guy. He's a pretty special guy, a pretty special player and it's been a pleasure to have a chance to get to know him over the last three years. Hopefully he's here for a long time.”
It was another incredible season that saw Ohtani win World Baseball Classic MVP honors in leading Team Japan to the title, and he was also named an All-Star as a pitcher and a hitter for the third straight season. And after six years with the Angels, his future with the club is uncertain, as he’s heading into free agency over the offseason.
The Angels have made it clear they plan to try to re-sign Ohtani this offseason, but it’ll ultimately be up to him, as he’ll have plenty of suitors and has stated in the past how much winning means to him.
“It says a lot that he still plans to be here that last homestand,” Minasian said. “He loves this place. And we love him.”

My dad bought me my first serious camera when I was 12, back in the days of 35mm film. It was a Sigma SA-7, and it mostly just confused me at first; however, my dad showed me how to get it going, how to load and rewind the film, and how to shoot pictures. Together, me, him, and that camera took a lot of trips, photographing Yosemite Valley, Mt. McKinley (from an airplane), the Arizona desert, New Orleans, Mt. St. Helens, and too many other places to count.
I later studied photography at the University of Akron, learning how to develop film and shoot images to tell a story. Somewhere in there, the world switched to digital and I jumped on the new technology. Finally, we were free to really play with the camera without being limited to 24 pictures per roll! I do sometimes miss the more intimate aspects of film, but I don't miss the smell of the chemicals or all that time spent waiting for film to develop.
My wife and I photographed our first wedding for a family friend in 2006, and immediately fell in love with the process. Other weddings and portraits followed, the cameras got better, the lenses got better, and here we are. After our son came along, we finally decided to make the leap to calling this a business, but it really remains what it has been all along - a passion, an art, and an opportunity to have fun and really help couples, families, and friends make and keep great memories.


Downtown Liverpool in Business, in association with The Women’s Organisation has some exciting news to announce! This year’s #WIBAs, The Women in Business Awards, which celebrates female entrepreneurs and business owners across Merseyside… Will include a keynote speech from Nisha Katona!
The Women In Business Awards will take place on Friday 4th March 2016 at the Crowne Plaza Liverpool
Nisha Katona, founder of Mowgli, one of the most exciting new restaurants of 2015 will be the keynote speaker of The Women in Business Awards 2016. Nisha’s background is as varied and exciting as the food that is dished up in Mowgli, and we can’t wait to hear Nisha speak at the event!
Before launching Mowgli, Nisha was a practising barrister for many years in Liverpool before changing her life completely and opening her first restaurant in 2014. Mowgli has taken the city by storm and is unlike any other restaurant in the city, serving Indian street food and tiffin with an incredible array of flavours. Nisha is also a digital and social media whizz, with over 25,000 followers on Twitter, and subscribers who follow her diligently for tips and tricks on Indian cooking.
The Women’s Organisation were lucky enough to host Nisha at our Digital Mastermind events as part of Global Entrepreneurship Week in November 2014 along with an all-star panel of Digital whizzes, including Judith O’Brien of Bold Online Marketing, Ngunan Adamu of BBC Radio Merseyside and the Liverpool Girl Geeks.
We know that Nisha Katona is an excellent addition to an already excellent event in the calendar. The Women in Business Awards celebrate female success in all its glory, highlight the incredible and important work that female entrepreneurs and business owners are doing across Merseyside, and recognise their achievements and contribution to the economic growth of our city.

|Welcome to this latest edition of the Global Irish Newsletter.
I feel deeply honoured to have been appointed Ireland’s Minister for the Diaspora. I am delighted that the new Government has again confirmed the importance of the relationship with our Diaspora by appointing a dedicated Minister of State.
We are committed to strengthening that relationship.
We will publish a new diaspora policy this year.
We will bring forward legislation to allow for a referendum on extending voting rights in presidential elections to Irish citizens abroad.
We will continue to prioritise the Emigrant Support Programme, to protect the most vulnerable members of our overseas communities.
We also want to provide greater opportunities for younger members of our diaspora to work and study in Ireland.
I would like to pay tribute to Irish organisations around the world for all their work during the Covid-19 crisis in supporting the most vulnerable and isolated members of their communities. The London Irish Centre, to give just one example, has shown great leadership, flexibility and imagination in responding to the crisis, providing support for the vulnerable; advice, outreach and befriending services to the isolated; and a fantastic online programme of cultural events. I congratulate them for adapting so well to the needs of their community.
I look forward to meeting you and to working with you in supporting and promoting vibrant Irish communities around the world.
Beir bua agus beannacht,
Colm Brophy T.D.
Minister of State for the Diaspora and International Development

After Bobby and his best friend Kevin are kidnapped and taken to a strange house in the middle of nowhere, Bobby manages to escape. But as he starts to make a break for it, he hears Kevin’s screams for help and realizes he can’t leave his friend behind.
Starring: Lonnie Chavis, Ezra Dewey, and Kristen Bauer van Straten
Directed and written by: David Charbonier and Justin Powell
“The Boy Behind the Door” is hiding and for a very good reason. Bobby (Lonnie Chavis) and Kevin (Ezra Dewey) are playing catch together in the park, and have a quick conversation about life plans. They seem a little young for that kind of talk, but make it clear they will be friends until the end. It won’t be long before their friendship is tested because they’re about to be kidnapped.
They get taken to a home where Kevin is brought inside, but Bobby is left in the trunk to suffocate. Fortunately for him, he manages to get out, but before running for his life he hears Kevin screaming. Remembering their earlier conversation, he realizes he can’t leave Kevin behind so he sneaks inside to rescue him. Of course it’s not going to be easy because the kidnappers have plans for Kevin.
Being kids, it’s easy to root for Bobby and Kevin. However in just a matter of minutes this film will seal the bond between the two, and the audience. Once Bobby decides to go in the house the audience will be right with him on his rescue mission. It’s not going to be easy, and Bobby could’ve given up several times. To their credit, they both prove what being a friend really means.
Besides bonding the friends, the film does well to maintain the realism of the situation for the boys. Both are terribly afraid the entire time, and nothing is easy for Bobby in trying to get his friend out. He stays true to his age, not knowing what to do with an old phone, or how to drive a car. He kind of lucks out with one of the kidnappers, but Ms. Burton (Kristin Bauer van Straten) has no mercy for either of them. One of the best scenes involves a foot and a finger (leaving it at that). The audience will not only be with them, they’ll feel their pain.
Kidnapping children is a serious issue, and “The Boy Behind the Door” treats it as such. Besides the few moments playing catch in the park, the film is at the house where things are dark and the tension is high. Lonnie and Ezra do a great job bringing out the true pain and emotions of their characters in this situation. Keeping with the realism of the film, the kidnappers didn’t shy away from bringing the pain either, as sad as it is to see for the boys. In the end, it’s a great story displaying the true test of a friendship. With that, I give it 3 pools of blood.

We are fast moving into the UN Climate Conference COP 26, where the implementation of the Paris Agreement will be negotiated. At Glasgow, participating climate justice advocacy groups and social movements will have to overcome a complex array of corporate climate schemes. Their challenge will be to push lawmakers away from these false solutions and towards a Just Transition framework for tackling the climate crisis.
A number of neoliberal policy agendas and unproven, corporate technofixes — from Net Zero Emissions and Carbon Capture to Nature-based Solutions — continue to subsidize the expansion of fossil fuel industries, while further impacting communities on the frontlines of climate chaos.
Join an international panel of climate justice organizers and frontline community leaders in a discussion about the multi-billion dollar climate investments promoted by the fossil fuel industries and disaster capitalists. This panel builds on the momentum created by the most recent edition of Hoodwinked in the Houthouse (Third edition), co-created by the coalition of organizations constituting the ClimateFalseSolutions.org collective, listed below.

Collective bargaining – negotiations over working conditions between an employer and representatives of their employees – appeared as early as 1891 as labor unions arose in response to the Industrial Revolution. Collective bargaining in private industry was recognized in 1935 by the National Labor Relations Act but was considered prohibited in the public sector. In 1945, the state of Missouri ratified its constitution, which included article 1, section 29, a provision protecting employee collective bargaining rights. That provision, however, was quickly interpreted by courts as applying only to private employees, and thus, public employees had little power to negotiate employment terms. In the 1960s the Missouri legislature passed a number of public sector labor laws that established a very limited collective bargaining framework applicable to most government employees. This area of Missouri law remained relatively untouched until 2007 when, in Independence National Education Ass’n v. Independence School District, the Supreme Court of Missouri reinterpreted article 1, section 29 as applying to all Missouri employees. The holding was a decisive victory for teachers and law enforcement (who are statutorily excluded from the public sector labor laws) but left many questions as to what the holding would mean. Then in 2012, the Court again interpreted article 1, section 29 in a pair of cases handed down on the same day: Eastern Missouri Coalition of Police v. City of Chesterfield and American Federation of Teachers v. Ledbetter. The decisions considered the scope of article 1, section 29, specifically whether the constitutional right of public employees to collectively bargain imposed a corresponding affirmative duty on public employers to collectively bargain with their employees. The Court held that such a duty is inherent in article 1, section 29 – public employers must bargain with employee unions and must do so in good faith with an eye toward reaching an agreement. This Note examines the evolution of collective bargaining rights in Missouri and discusses the import of these 2012 holdings.

If you or a loved one needs post-hospital skilled nursing care, wound care, physical, occupational or speech therapy, respite care, or long-term placement, River's Bend Health Care is here to help. Established in 2003, River's Bend Health Care is a locally owned and operated 100-bed facility.
Our way of life is providing an attentive and supportive environment for residents and their families. Our goal is to help residents recover from illness, injury or surgery so they can safely return home; or to be as independent and content as possible as part of our long-term care community.
A former River’s Bend Health Care resident and successful graduate of the therapy program recently returned to visit friends and give staff a handmade gift. Muriel Callicoat, wearing a straw hat and big smile, went around the whole building handing out “friendship knots” to the staff. Each craft was made with a soft piece of rope, […]
River’s Bend Health Care is pleased to announce that it now is using electronic medication administration. Also known as eMARs (electronic medication administration records), the new technology automates inefficient and error-prone paper records. River’s Bend Health Care is partnering with UniqCare Pharmacy of Hurricane, W.Va., to implement eMARs at the facility, a system called Accu-flo®. […]

(2007) Interdependence of domestic malaria prevention measures and mosquito-human interactions in urban Dar es Salaam, Tanzania. Malaria journal, 6 (26). pp. 1-17. ISSN 1475-2875

Successful malaria vector control depends on understanding behavioural interactions between mosquitoes and humans, which are highly setting-specific and may have characteristic features in urban environments. Here mosquito biting patterns in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania are examined and the protection against exposure to malaria transmission that is afforded to residents by using an insecticide-treated net (ITN) is estimated.
Mosquito biting activity over the course of the night was estimated by human landing catch in 216 houses and 1,064 residents were interviewed to determine usage of protection measures and the proportion of each hour of the night spent sleeping indoors, awake indoors, and outdoors.
Hourly variations in biting activity by members of the Anopheles gambiae complex were consistent with classical reports but the proportion of these vectors caught outdoors in Dar es Salaam was almost double that of rural Tanzania. Overall, ITNs confer less protection against exophagic vectors in Dar es Salaam than in rural southern Tanzania (59% versus 70%). More alarmingly, a biting activity maximum that precedes 10 pm and much lower levels of ITN protection against exposure (38%) were observed for Anopheles arabiensis, a vector of modest importance locally, but which predominates transmission in large parts of Africa.
In a situation of changing mosquito and human behaviour, ITNs may confer lower, but still useful, levels of personal protection which can be complemented by communal transmission suppression at high coverage. Mosquito-proofing houses appeared to be the intervention of choice amongst residents and further options for preventing outdoor transmission include larviciding and environmental management.

Industrial output for November is expected to improve, mostly due to base effects, said economists.
A Business Times poll expects the Industrial Production (IP) Index, which measures changes to the manufacturing, electricity and mining sectors, to post a 3.17 per cent average growth.
The Statistics Department will release the data today.
United States investment bank CITI said the manufacturing IP would likely see some acceleration on base effects as well as some bright spots in the overall manufacturing activity.
"The Malaysian Automotive Association recorded a smaller decline in the number of passenger cars produced in November at -5.5 per cent year-on-year, compared with -6.3 per cent in October."
It said the critical electrical and electronics sector could see a slower rate of decline, mirroring trends in some regional peers.
Electricity IP could also accelerate on base effects, the bank added.
According to DBS Bank economist Irvin Seah, a low base at the same period last year had provided some technical lift.
Global demand is expected to languish against a backdrop of rising external headwinds, including sovereign debt risks from the eurozone.
"The key electronics industry is bleeding against a disappointing festive season demand and with no respite in sight," he said.
Such global uncertainties will continue to weigh on the performance of the industrial sector in the coming months, despite some signs of improvement in the US economy.


US "defense" budget for 2018 amounts to fourteen and a half Russia defense budgets rolled into one
US Congress is set to pass a defense budget for fiscal 2018 (October 2017 through September 2018) of $696 billion.
Meanwhile the defense spending for 2017 over in Russia (spending for 2018 won't be set until late 2017) is 2.84 trillion rubles, which at today's exchange rates amounts to just under $48 billion.
In other words, for Russia $696 billion would represent enough money to fund its military for fourteen years and six months.
US taxpayers must be truly rich.

I chose to support the SickKids Foundation because one day I was there and I saw a lot of children who were in wheelchairs and others who looked like they weren't well, and it made me really sad. It also made me realize that I could easily be one of those children. Ever since then, I always ask people invited to my birthday party to donate to the SickKids Foundation.
My old bike was too small and I want to do more exercise.

Killing of Kishenji a blow to Maoists
Ranchi: Though the killing of Maoist
leader Kishenji in West Bengal was a huge setback for the
ultras, it would take more time to tackle the menace.
"Kishenji’s killing definitely weakened the CPI
(Maoist) as they depended on him in the eastern states, but
ideologues like Ganapathi could be hiding in Andhra, Bengal or
Odisha. It will take some time," an official in the central
intelligence department in Jharkhand said.
Besides Ganapathi, other top wanted Maoists were
Prasanta Bose who went by the aliases of Kishanda and
Manishda, Katkan Sudarshan known as Virendra and Anand,
Malleh-Jullah Venugopal alias Bhupathi and Sonu and Nambala
and Keshav Rao who went by the names of Gaganna and Basva Rao,
the official said.
The Jharkhand police and central forces were on the
lookout for elusive Maoist Kundan Pahan, who had masterminded
the beheading of special branch inspector Francis Induwar, a
top police official said.
Among those already arrested were Maoist Politburo
members Ravi Sharma, Amitabh Bagchi, Kobad Gandhi, Pramod
Mishra and Jagdish.
In Jharkhand the Maoists had suffered a major
setback in July when the police and central forces destroyed
the eastern regional bureau headquarters of the Maoists in
Saranda forest in West Singhbhum district.

Eric Hellman on Public Bookcasting: "The Public Broadcasting Model for eBooks"
One of the best commentators about eBooks/ePublishing shares his vision about how a public broadcasting donation model could work with eBook.
A public “bookcasting” system would work somewhat differently from public radio. Audiences and patrons would be assembled around individual books and authors, which would be much more numerous than radio stations. People would be motivated to help make the books they love public by the virtuous cycle of receiving books supported by other public book patrons.

Advantages Of Being A Vegan
Veganism is the elimination of any animal-derived product from your diet and life. As a vegan, you have to not intake or wear animal-derived products. Veganism is regarded as a much more healthy way of living. To be a vegan, the first thing you must do is change your diet. Vegan diet compromises mainly of plant-based food. There are a lot of misconceptions around vegan diets. Here are advantages of being a vegan that you may enjoy.
A vegan diet will help reduce the possibility of heart-related diseases. Veggies and fruits are known to play a positive role when it comes to the heart’s health. A vegan diet that has both fruits, vegetables, and fiber helps regulate blood pressure and other heart-related diseases. The heart gets to enjoy lower cholesterol levels because of this diet.
Vegan diets lower the risk of getting cancer. Cancer is one of the world’s deadliest diseases. It is known to kill if left untreated. The good news is that cancer can be avoided with the right tweaks in your diet and lifestyle. A vegan diet can aid with this very well. Plant foods have a lot of fiber and vitamins which can help fend off any cancerous cells. The removal of meat and dairy products is a positive aspect as well when dealing with cancer. You can learn more about these cancers here.
You now stand a better chance of dealing with weight when you are on a vegan diet. A lot of people in the current world are overweight. Eating meat and foods that are processed is known to lead to this. This is due to the fact that meat is known to have fats that spike one’s cholesterol. Being on a vegan diet helps you avoid the intake of fats from meat. This website can help you with more info on excellent vegan diets. Click here for more information on vegan diets and weight loss.

To determine whether central findings from vestibular tests predict abnormal findings on magnetic resonance imaging.
This study was a retrospective case series at a tertiary referral centre. The main outcome measure of this diagnostic intervention study was the positive predictive value of central vestibular findings in relation to magnetic resonance imaging abnormalities.
Central vestibular findings had a 50.9 per cent positive predictive value for magnetic resonance imaging abnormalities across all age groups although they varied according to age group. Optokinetic nystagmus (p < 0.05) and abnormal findings on videonystagmography tests (p < 0.05) were the main predictors of magnetic resonance imaging abnormalities. White matter lesions constituted the bulk of the central lesions on magnetic resonance imaging followed by cortical and cerebellar atrophy.
Central vestibular findings had a 50.9 per cent positive predictive value for magnetic resonance imaging abnormalities across all age groups. Magnetic resonance imaging is medically justified to further evaluate patients with central findings on vestibular studies. Therefore, it is reasonable to request magnetic resonance imaging in these patients.
Reappraisal, an adaptive emotion regulation strategy, is associated with frontal engagement. In internalizing psychopathologies (IPs) such as anxiety and depression frontal activity is atypically reduced suggesting impaired regulation capacity. Yet, successful reappraisal is often demonstrated at the behavioral level. A data-driven approach was used to clarify brain and behavioral relationships in IPs.
During functional magnetic resonance imaging, anxious [general anxiety disorder (n = 43), social anxiety disorder (n = 72)] and depressed (n = 47) patients reappraised negative images to reduce negative affect (‘ReappNeg’) and viewed negative images (‘LookNeg’). After each trial, the affective state was reported. A cut-point (i.e. values <0 based on ΔReappNeg-LookNeg) demarcated successful reappraisers. Neural activity for ReappNeg-LookNeg, derived from 37 regions of interest, was submitted to Principal Component Analysis (PCA) to identify unique components of reappraisal-related brain response. PCA factors, symptom severity, and self-reported habitual reappraisal were submitted to discriminant function analysis and linear regression to examine whether these data predicted successful reappraisal (yes/no) and variance in reappraisal ability.
Most patients (63%) were successful reappraisers according to the behavioral criterion (values<0; ΔReappNeg-LookNeg). Discriminant function analysis was not significant for PCA factors, symptoms, or habitual reappraisal. For regression, more activation in a factor with high loadings for frontal regions predicted better reappraisal facility. Results were not significant for other variables.
At the individual level, more activation in a ‘frontal’ factor corresponded with better reappraisal facility. However, neither brain nor behavioral variables classified successful reappraisal (yes/no). Findings suggest individual differences in regions strongly implicated in reappraisal play a role in on-line reappraisal capability.
Heightened reactivity to unpredictable threat (U-threat) is a core individual difference factor underlying fear-based psychopathology. Little is known, however, about whether reactivity to U-threat is a stable marker of fear-based psychopathology or if it is malleable to treatment. The aim of the current study was to address this question by examining differences in reactivity to U-threat within patients before and after 12-weeks of selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) or cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT).
Participants included patients with principal fear (n = 22) and distress/misery disorders (n = 29), and a group of healthy controls (n = 21) assessed 12-weeks apart. A well-validated threat-of-shock task was used to probe reactivity to predictable (P-) and U-threat and startle eyeblink magnitude was recorded as an index of defensive responding.
Across both assessments, individuals with fear-based disorders displayed greater startle magnitude to U-threat relative to healthy controls and distress/misery patients (who did not differ). From pre- to post-treatment, startle magnitude during U-threat decreased only within the fear patients who received CBT. Moreover, within fear patients, the magnitude of decline in startle to U-threat correlated with the magnitude of decline in fear symptoms. For the healthy controls, startle to U-threat across the two time points was highly reliable and stable.
Together, these results indicate that startle to U-threat characterizes fear disorder patients and is malleable to treatment with CBT but not SSRIs within fear patients. Startle to U-threat may therefore reflect an objective, psychophysiological indicator of fear disorder status and CBT treatment response.
Recent meta-analyses of resting-state networks in major depressive disorder (MDD) implicate network disruptions underlying cognitive and affective features of illness. Heterogeneity of findings to date may stem from the relative lack of data parsing clinical features of MDD such as phase of illness and the burden of multiple episodes.
Resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging data were collected from 17 active MDD and 34 remitted MDD patients, and 26 healthy controls (HCs) across two sites. Participants were medication-free and further subdivided into those with single v. multiple episodes to examine disease burden. Seed-based connectivity using the posterior cingulate cortex (PCC) seed to probe the default mode network as well as the amygdala and subgenual anterior cingulate cortex (sgACC) seeds to probe the salience network (SN) were conducted.
Young adults with remitted MDD demonstrated hyperconnectivity of the left PCC to the left inferior frontal gyrus and of the left sgACC to the right ventromedial prefrontal cortex (PFC) and left hippocampus compared with HCs. Episode-independent effects were observed between the left PCC and the right dorsolateral PFC, as well as between the left amygdala and right insula and caudate, whereas the burden of multiple episodes was associated with hypoconnectivity of the left PCC to multiple cognitive control regions as well as hypoconnectivity of the amygdala to large portions of the SN.
This is the first study of a homogeneous sample of unmedicated young adults with a history of adolescent-onset MDD illustrating brain-based episodic features of illness.
Individuals with generalized social anxiety disorder (gSAD) exhibit attentional bias to salient stimuli, which is reduced in patients whose symptoms improve after treatment, indicating that mechanisms of bias mediate treatment success. Therefore, pre-treatment activity in regions implicated in attentional control over socio-emotional signals (e.g. anterior cingulate cortex, dorsolateral prefrontal cortex) may predict response to cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), evidence-based psychotherapy for gSAD.
During functional magnetic resonance imaging, 21 participants with gSAD viewed images comprising a trio of geometric shapes (circles, rectangles or triangles) alongside a trio of faces (angry, fearful or happy) within the same field of view. Attentional control was evaluated with the instruction to ‘match shapes’, directing attention away from faces, which was contrasted with ‘match faces’, whereby attention was directed to emotional faces.
Whole-brain voxel-wise analyses showed that symptom improvement was predicted by enhanced pre-treatment activity in the presence of emotional face distractors in the dorsal anterior cingulate cortex and dorsal medial prefrontal cortex. Additionally, CBT success was foretold by less activity in the amygdala and/or increased activity in the medial orbitofrontal gyrus during emotion processing.
CBT response was predicted by pre-treatment activity in prefrontal regions and the amygdala. The direction of activity suggests that individuals with intact attentional control in the presence of emotional distractors, regulatory capacity over emotional faces and/or less reactivity to such faces are more likely to benefit from CBT. Findings indicate that baseline neural activity in the context of attentional control and emotion processing may serve as a step towards delineating mechanisms by which CBT exerts its effects.
Heterogeneous system integration is one of the key topics for future system integration. Scaling of System on Chip (SoC) alone does not address today's requirements of smart electronic systems in terms of performance, functionality, miniaturization, low production cost and time to market.
The traditional microelectronic packaging will more and more convert into complex sys-tem integration. ‘More than Moore’ will be required due to tighter integration of system level components at the package level. This trend leads to advanced System in Package solutions (SiP) which require the synergy and a combination of wafer level and board integration technologies and which are rapidly evolving from a specialty technology used in a narrow set of applications to a high volume technology with wide ranging impact on electronics markets especially due to the high volume and very cost competitive consumer and communication market. Advanced SiP approaches explore the third dimension which results in complex system architectures that also require, beside new technologies and improved materials, adequate system design tools and reli-ability models. One of the most promising technology approaches is 3D packaging which in-volves a set of different integration approaches including stacked packages, silicon interposer with Through Silicon Vias (TSV) and embedding technologies. The paper highlights future sys-tem and potential technical solutions.
Aggregate data are commonly used to determine returns to storage. However, recent studies have shown that aggregating data may lead to underestimated returns. This article compares aggregate and elevator data from Oklahoma to determine if aggregate data underestimate returns. We find no difference between the mean returns estimated with aggregate data and the mean returns estimated with transaction level data from grain elevators in Oklahoma.
A 62-year-old male with a myoepithelioma of the right parotid gland was treated with surgical excision followed by adjuvant radiation therapy. Prior to the completion of radiation therapy, the patient developed progressive disease at local, regional, and distant metastatic sites. Combined modality treatment with radiation and chemotherapy resulted in a significant but transient shrinkage of the tumours at all sites. The patient succumbed to metastatic disease 212 days following the diagnostic biopsy. This case illustrates several of the distinctive clinical and pathological characteristics of this rare tumour.

"...we in here talking about practice. I mean, listen, we're talking about practice, not a game, not a game, not a game, we talking about practice." -- Alan IversonD.C. billionaire venture capitalist/philanthropist Ted Leonsis helps bankroll all of the district's privately-run charter schools through his Venture Philanthropy Partners. That includes more than $5.5 million to KIPP DC. But there's a catch to his generosity.
You see, Leonsis has an interesting philosophy. He believes that instead of paying taxes on his investment profits, taxpayers ought to pay him. This year the payment comes in the form of a new $55 million basketball practice arena for his Washington Wizzards. Taxpayers are picking up most of the cost.
According to CSN:
The project will cost an estimated $55 million... The Wizards' lease with the city is for 19 years and involves a $23 million investment from the government... Events D.C. [the city's official convention and sports authority] is contributing about half of the total cost for construction.The latest on D.C. charters... The attorney general has filed two lawsuits alleging that D.C. charter school leaders used for-profit companies to divert millions of taxpayer dollars into their own pockets. The D.C. Public Charter School Board, which oversees all city charter schools, has no legal right to examine the books and records of those private companies, and says it therefore has little ability to monitor how those dollars are spent. -- Washington Post
As if KIPP DC needed the $$$... They just received another $4.2 million gift this week, from Joel Smilow, the president and chief executive of Playtex Products. Obvious connection there.

The realization of edge-based cyber-physical systems (CPS) poses important challenges in terms of performance, robustness, security, etc. This paper examines a novel approach to providing a user-centric adaptive route planning service over a network of Road Side Units (RSUs) in smart cities. The key idea is to adaptively select routing task parameters such as privacy-cloaked area sizes and number of retained intersections to balance processing time, privacy protection level, and route accuracy for privacy-augmented distributed route search while also handling per-query user preferences. This is formulated as an optimization problem with a set of parameters giving the best result for a set of queries given system constraints. Processing Throughput, Privacy Protection, and Travel Time Accuracy were developed as the objective functions to be balanced. A Multi-Objective Genetic Algorithm based technique (NSGA-II) is applied to recover a feasible solution. The performance of this approach was then evaluated using traffic data from Osaka, Japan. Results show good performance of the approach in balancing the aforementioned objectives based on user preferences.

Hundreds of Egyptian police have rallied to demand higher wages in a rare act of defiance of a new protest law which they themselves have been enforcing to calm unrest on the streets, reports Reuters. Around 200 officers were granted permission to stage a demonstration at a Police Club in Cairo. They urged officials to come and discuss their pay demands, but when no response followed, police marched to the Interior Ministry violating the new law. According to security sources, the protesters shoved barricades at fellow members of the security forces outside the club, before the demonstrators were allowed to march. Ironically, this comes after arrests of activists for breaching the controversial law passed in November which requires Interior Ministry’s approval for any public gathering of more than 10 people.
The Yemeni government said Sunday that there has been an assassination attempt on the advisor to the country’s president, Yessin Said Noman. A sniper fired shots using a silencer at Noman’s armor plated car as he was driving through the capital Sanaa, the official Saba news agency reported. As well as advising President Abd-Rabbu Mansour Hadi, Noman is also vice president of Yemen’s National Dialogue and Secretary General of the Socialist Party.
Russian diplomats, who were evacuated from Libya after an attack on the embassy in early October, have returned to the capital Tripoli, reports Itar-Tass. Nine employees of the diplomatic mission will initially stay in a local hotel. Earlier this week, in an interview with the Voice of Russia, Libya's Foreign Minister Mohamed Abdelaziz said his country was “completely prepared for the return of the Russian embassy” and expressed hope the October incident would not affect Tripoli’s relations with Moscow. Up until today, some Russian diplomats were staying in the neighboring Tunisia to maintain working contacts with Libyan counterparts.
One person has been killed and five injured in Libya’s second largest city of Benghazi as a car bomb went off during the funeral of an assassinated army officer, Reuters reports. Colonel Kamal Bazaza was fatally wounded when a device planted under his car exploded as he was driving across the center of the city on Saturday. He died in hospital on Sunday morning. Later in the day, when his friends and relatives gathered for his funeral ceremony, a car bomb exploded in the crowd, according to security and medical sources.
German President Joachim Gauck has become the first major political figure to announce he is boycotting the Sochi Winter Olympics in February 2014. Gauck informed the Kremlin of his decision last week, according to German weekly Der Spiegel.

Israeli President Shimon Peres has declared that he is ready to meet his Iranian counterpart, Hassan Rouhani. Peres was asked about the possibility at an economic forum and replied that he “didn’t have enemies,” and added that “it's not a question of personalities but of policies.” The aim, Peres said, was to “transform enemies into friends.” The Israeli leader, however, indicated that it’s important to focus “efforts on making sure Iran does not become a nuclear danger for the rest of the world.”
Almost 400 people have been killed in fighting in the Central African Republic (CAR) capital, Bangui, according to French officials and the Red Cross, AFP reports. France is deploying 1,600 soldiers to the troubled African nation alongside a larger African Union force of 2,500 troops. Since the CAR president, Francois Bozize, was overthrown by rebel groups in March, violence among different ethnic factions has begun to take on a sectarian tone with Muslims and Christians pitted against each other. The French government has said its mission is aimed at creating stability to enable humanitarian aid to be brought in. Ten percent of CAR’s 4.6 million people have already fled their homes and more than 1 million need food aid, according to the UN.
Unidentified attackers have shot dead two senior Yemeni officers in separate ambushes on their cars Sunday, according to security sources, Reuters reports. The head of security at the presidential palace, Brigadier General Saddam Hussein al-Dhahri, was shot by attackers in a car as he left work in the southern Yemeni city of Taiz. In a separate incident, Police Colonel Abdullah Gaithallah was shot dead by gunmen who ambushed his car in the southern province of al-Baida. No one has claimed responsibility for the attacks, but Yemeni officials have blamed a string of similar killings on Islamist militants affiliated with Al-Qaeda. An Al-Qaeda linked group claimed responsibility for an attack on the Yemeni Defense Ministry Thursday, which killed 56 people and wounded at least 200, in the country’s worst military assault for 18 months.
UN inspectors began a visit to a heavy-water production plant as part of an agreement to grant the international community greater access to Tehran’s nuclear program. It is the first time in two years that the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) has been granted access to Iran’s Arak nuclear power plant. Last month Tehran agreed to more transparency for its nuclear program in a bid to allay fears it is developing nuclear weapons.
Afghanistan is failing to use the rule of law to protect women from domestic violence, the UN has said. The UN’s human rights office in Afghanistan reported that violence against women had risen by 28 percent over the last year, while prosecutions had only increased by 2 percent.

The Greek parliament has passed the government’s budget for 2014, which for the first time in six years forecasts GDP growth of 0.6 percent. The document includes further spending cuts of 3.1 billion euros over the next year. The coalition government which controls a majority in the parliament has pushed the budget forward without waiting for approval from the troika group, although the document is consistent with international creditors’ demands. The opposition has sharply criticized the budget, calling it a “new act of the tragedy of the Greek people” and that the debts will be paid by the future generations until at least 2057.

First South Carolina.
“Today, we are here in a moment of unity in our state, without ill will, to say it is time to move the flag from the Capitol grounds,” Haley said during a news conference attended by Republican senators Lindsey Graham and Tim Scott, along with other state leaders.
Mississippi House Speaker Philip Gunn said Monday night that the Confederate emblem in the state’s official flag has to go.
“We must always remember our past, but that does not mean we must let it define us,” Gunn, a Clinton Republican, said in a statement. “As a Christian, I believe our state’s flag has become a point of offense that needs to be removed. We need to begin having conversations about changing Mississippi’s flag.”
Now Walmart? What? Politics is one thing, but money is, well, money.
Walmart, the country’s largest retailer, will remove all Confederate flag merchandise from its stores, the company told CNN Monday.
The announcement is the latest indication that the flag, a symbol of the slave-holding South, has become toxic in the aftermath of a shooting last week at a historic African-American church in Charleston, South Carolina. Gov. Nikki Haley announced in a Monday afternoon news conference that she supports removing the Confederate flag from the state capitol grounds.
I’m not naive, but the momentum to do something here is palpable and it’s moving very, very fast. And it may be a symbolic something, and may not go as far as I or others would like, but symbols do matter - taking them away from those inclined to hatred and violence is a constructive thing. Taking away the Confederate flag, or at least the state’s close affiliation with that flag and all that it represents, is a positive step. One of many that are needed, but a step forward.

I have been spending my time in between painting and decorating catching up on some of the crafts that have been neglected lately. I managed to get my quilt sandwiched and quilted. Now it only needs the binding and it will be finished. Well! when I say finished, I am actually planning to complete the remainder of the cathedral windows during the cold winter months when I can work with it covering my legs,
I have also been spending rather more time than I should 'quilling'. It is so intricate and does take ages to complete a project but the end results are so pretty.
I finished this fan about an hour ago and am really rather pleased with it.

Game Today (University of Southern Philippine Gym,Davao City)
5 p.m. – Talk ’N Text vs Purefoods
3 p.m. – NLEX vs Globalport
5:15 p.m. – Ginebra vs Rain or Shine
With three games to play, Purefoods Star’s ace shooting guard James Yap understands that every win counts for them as the Hotshots aim for one of two twice-to-beat incentives in the quarterfinal playoffs.
That’s the reason Yap sees a playoff “atmosphere” when defending champion Purefoods collides with league-leader Talk ’N Text in the PBA Commissioner’s Cup Saturday Special today at the University of Southern Philippine Gym in Davao City.
“Parang playoffs na din ang dating kasi sa dikit-dikit ang teams, talagang ang labanan mahigpitan na. Parang matira ang matibay,” said Yap, a two-time league MVP.
The game between Purefoods and TNT is scheduled at 5 p.m.
Both teams are aiming for second straight victory after winning their previous assignments before the break for the PBA All-Star Weekend in Puerto Princesa, Palawan.
Talk ’N Text downed Globalport, 96-88, last March 1 where import Ivan Johnson collected 35 points and 20 rebounds and Ranidel de Ocampo contributed 25 points on 6-of-9 shooting from THE three-point area to help give TNT a 6-2 record.
That same day, Purefoods outlasted Philippine Cup champion San Miguel Beer in overtime, 113-105, snapping a three-game skid and improving its record to 5-3.
Yap came through for the Hotshots in the extra period as he scored eight of his 15 points. Purefoods import Denzel Bowles had 35 points and 17 boards while Alex Mallari and Marc Pingris added 17 and 15 points, respectively.
It was Yap’s first game after missing three and he said he’s fully recovered from a bruised left knee he sustained against Rain or Shine.
His stint in the All-Star Game proved his point.
“Maganda na yung pakiramdam ko, kita naman nakalaro pa ako sa All-Star Game and nakapag-compete sa Three-Point shootout,” said Yap. “Saka ok na yun tuhod ko, hindi na sumasakit.”
Pingris said the long break allowed Bowles to practice with the coaching staff and their other teammates while they were in Palawan and he’s confident Bowles will perform better against TNT.
“May mga konting adjustment lang naman, pero kabisado na naman ni Denzel ang sistema ni coach Tim (Cone),” said Pingris, who along with Justin Melton played for the North Team that won against the South Team of Yap, Mark Barroca, PJ Simon and Joe Devance.
Talk ’N Text had two All-Star participants in De Ocampo and Jayson Castro, who played for the North Team. TNT coach Jong Uichico said the long break also gave his team an opportunity to polish their game.
“We were able to work on some things,” said Uichico, who will also rely on other mainstays like Larry Fonacier, Jay Washington, Harvey Carey, Willie Miller, Ryan Reyes, as well as rookies Kevin Alas and Matt Rosser-Ganuelas.
After this game, the remaining opponents for Purefoods are Barako Bull this Tuesday and Meralco on Friday, while Talk ’N Text will face San Miguel Beer on Wednesday and Alaska in March 22.
The tournament format will have the top eight teams moving to the quarterfinal playoffs, with the best two earning twice-to-beat incentives against the seventh and eighth qualifiers while the third to sixth teams will meet in the crossover three-game series.
The bottom four teams at the end of the eliminations will be eliminated.
