According to the locals, flooding was accompanied by landslides on the 18/11 morning that destroyed many houses, causing that 4 people in the Tran Hoang Phong family were unlawful as a result of " human ear "without natural disaster Post-
Sometimes to see a group of builders, Mr Huynh Quang Hung (Vinh Hoa Ward lived) said that the company was excavating, and # 39; hill excavation to the Xuyen Hon. The motto of the lake is approximately 45m long, 15 m wide.
"The building creatures are probably close to the shore with heavy rain on the shore, and all the water and the majority of the landlord were introduced to the place of residence, just like a battle, a tsunami disaster, "said Hung.

"For 20 years I stayed in this land, I did not see a mountain brink with floods like this." After the incident, the people turned to the summit of the Rev. Xuyen to know that the bank of the reservoir was broken. Tuan, Le Xuan Tan (who lived in Vinh Hoa) said.
The project has a total of 11.2 hectares designed to build with 380 townhouses and large houses. Reservoirs confirmed that the project also included things such as pathways, knowledge gardens, educational parks, children's parks, supermarkets, seaways, fountains, sights and swimming poles. unfinished

"The designation of this Building Department's project has not agreed to what the business is doing," said former director of the Khanh Hoa Building Department.
"Following a landslide event, the Department established its own inspection survey, founding the owner that they used to create a hole but do not know what to do. We ask The investor explains but they say they are busy working with other authorities, "he said.
At the meeting, the investment explained that the landslide project made by the "water-built ditches" occurred from the broken bank, causing landslides in the house 17 Hoa Trung and 1 Hoa Tay group, Vinh Hoa Nha Trang City) and deadly.

Pound Falls as May Under Brexit Pressure
Sterling had a bad day on Monday as UK political headlines indicated that Theresa May is facing a renewed crisis inside the Tory party. A media report said that forty Conservative MPs are not satisfied with the way she governs and are ready to challenge her leadership. May has also received a secret letter from Boris Johnson and Michael Gove in which they accuse the government of not taking a harder line over the Brexit negotiations. The political uncertainty in the UK triggered the sell-off of the Pound.
In Europe, Michel Barnier, the chief European Union (EU) Brexit negotiator, said that the Euro-bloc is getting ready for the possibility of Brexit negotiations collapsing. Vitor Constancio, the European Central Bank’s (ECB) vice-president, noted in a speech that monetary policy will have to remain very accommodative, since the bank isn’t yet fulfilling its mandate. However, Constancio mentioned that the Eurozone’s economic recovery is robust and resilient.
Pound Sterling – UK Markets
Today, the Pound tumbled against the US Dollar with the exchange rate set at $1.30. Sterling also dipped against the Euro with the exchange rate set at €1.12. Political uncertainty and fear that Theresa May won’t be able to control her rebellious rivals in the Tory party, who find her unsuitable to rule, drove the British currency lower.
According to a Sunday Times report, forty Conservative members of the Parliament have agreed to sign a letter of no confidence in Theresa May. The signature of eight more Tory MPs is needed in order to officially challenge May’s leadership. Another report revealed that Boris Johnson and Michael Gove sent a letter to Theresa May in which they urge her to ensure that the members of her top team clear their minds over Brexit. Analysts commented that, in the letter, the Johnson-Gove duo expressed their concern over Philip Hammond’s policies which lack sufficient energy. Political headlines and a marginal progress in the Brexit negotiations so far made traders sell off the Pound.
An IMF survey that seeks to evaluate the economic conditions and prospects in Europe said that a potential “hard Brexit” would have severe effect on both the British and the EU economies. “Under such circumstances, our concern is that economic growth will suffer, especially in the UK, but also in the euro area. We are then possibly looking at appreciably lower growth than we presently project,” noted IMF’s deputy director Joerg Decressin.
US Dollar – US Markets
The US Dollar strengthened against the Euro, with the exchange rate set just under the €0.86 mark. The US Dollar Index (DXY), which measures the value of the Dollar against six major currencies, moved higher coming in at 94.61. However, investors and traders expressed their fears about the upcoming negotiations between the Senate and the House of Representatives on the long-awaited tax reform bill.
Kevin Brady, who is the Chairman of the House Ways and Means committee, said on Fox News that the House won’t accept any bill that eliminates deductions for all state and local taxes. Brady was pressed in the previous days by Republican House members in states with high taxes, such as New York and California, to keep the property tax-reduction in the proposed bill. Brady rejected the idea that the tax reform will punish lower income citizens since, as he noted, “every income bracket sees a tax relief.”
During the weekend, the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) member countries, except the US, agreed on core elements for a new framework. President Donald Trump has decided to withdraw the US from the TPP trade pact. However, market analysts noted that US agricultural, small and medium sized businesses are going to get the hardest hit from the new deal since the agreement includes lower tariffs for goods traded among TPP member countries. As a result of the US’ withdrawal from the pact, analysts commented that US businesses will be less competitive when selling their products.
Euro – European Markets
The Euro fell against the US Dollar with the exchange rate set at $1.16. Important data such as the Eurozone’s GDP and inflation figures are going to be published on Tuesday and Thursday, respectively.
Philip Lane, the Irish central bank governor and a member of the ECB’s governing council said the quantitative easing (QE) extension was a needed action. “To hit the inflation target over the medium term more is needed. The open-ended extension is saying we are not in any way declaring victory yet,” commented Lane. The Irish central bank governor stressed that a decision on interest rates will be delayed because the ECB will have to reduce its monthly bond purchases first.
A report by the IMF said that the economic recovery in Europe looks increasingly durable, strengthening and broadening. The IMF proposed to European central banks to withdraw their monetary stimulus in case they record wage growth acceleration. IMF economists support the EU’s plan to turn the European Stability Mechanism (ESM) into a European monetary Fund, but stress the need for right governance.
Other Currencies – Highlights
Sterling fell against the Australian Dollar, trading just under the 1.71 AUD mark. On Wednesday, data regarding wages during the third quarter of the year will be published. On Thursday, market experts will be waiting for October’s unemployment figures. They expect Australia’s unemployment rate to pick up by 0.1%, coming in at 5.6%.
The Pound dipped against the New Zealand Dollar, trading at 1.89 NZD. The ExportNZ DHL Export Barometer survey indicated that exporters are not afraid of the Kiwi’s high exchange rate. The results of the survey showed that they expect orders to be increased in the next twelve months. More specifically, the percentage of optimistic exporters jumped from 63% to 71%.
Sterling hit a three-week low against the Japanese Yen, trading at ¥148.89. A Reuters survey showed that Japanese firms spend their cash more on overseas acquisitions than to lift wages.

Government plans on expanding it relations with the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) which it said has played a pivotal role in the territory’s recovery since 2017.
Special Envoy for the VIP government Benito Wheatley made the announcement following a meeting with the UNDP’s Assistant Secretary-General and Regional Director for Latin America and the Caribbean, Luis Felipe López-Calva.
“The administration hopes to broaden and deepen the BVI’s partnership with UNDP as the islands continue to recover and plans are developed for the long-term development of the territory,” Wheatley said.
“UNDP has been instrumental in the progress of our recovery and is a valued partner. I conveyed to Mr López-Calva Premier Andrew A Fahie’s gratitude to the agency for the technical assistance provided to the Premier’s Office, Ministry of Finance and wider BVI government over the course of the last two years.”
Wheatley also said government will be anticipating future discussions on additional support for the territory with senior UNDP officials.
He also thanked the organisation for what he described as the great work done in the BVI and applauded their staff for showing a high level of professionalism.
The UNDP has provided technical assistance in recovery planning and procurement through several UN agencies since Hurricane Irma. It has facilitated workshops on a blue economy strategy and mainstreaming gender in crisis response and recovery.

The First ISCCP Regional Experiments have been designed to improve data products and cloud/radiation parameterizations used in general circulation models (GCMs). Specifically, the goals of FIRE are (1) to improve basic understanding of the interaction of physical processes in determining life cycles of cirrus and marine stratocumulus systems and the radiative properties of these clouds during ... their life cycles and (2) to investigate the interrelationships between the ISCCP data, GCM parameterizations, and higher space and time resolution cloud data.
To-date, four intensive field-observation periods were planned and executed: a cirrus IFO (October 13-November 2, 1986); a marine stratocumulus IFO off the southwestern coast of California (June 29-July 20, 1987); a second cirrus IFO in southeastern Kansas (November 13-December 7, 1991); and a second marine stratocumulus IFO in the eastern North Atlantic Ocean (June 1-June 28, 1992). Each mission combined coordinated satellite, airborne, and surface observations with modeling studies to investigate the cloud properties and physical processes of the cloud systems.
SOFIA (Surface of the Ocean, Fluxes and Interaction with the Atmosphere) is a research program carried out by French groups from the Centre de Recherches en Physique de l'Environnement (CRPE), Laboratoire l'Aerologie (LA)-Toulouse, Centre de Meteorologie Marine (CMM)-Brest, Institut Francais de Rechercher sur la Mer (IFREMER)-Brest, Service d'Aeronomie-Paris, and Laboratoire de Meteorologie Dynamique (LMD)-Palaiseau with cooperation from Centre National de Recherche Meteorologique (CNRM)-Toulouse.
The scientific objective of SOFIA during ASTEX was the study of energy transfer (heat, humidity and momentum fluxes) between the sea surface and the atmospheric boundary layer at scales ranging from the local scale to the mesoscale (50 km). The general concept of the program was to develop a measurement strategy based on nested boxes in which instrumentation would be used to estimate and quantify fluxes. These instruments, from which flux estimates at different scales would be measured, were used in connection with satellite measurements to understand and, hence, to validate the "satellite integration" of fluxes, particularly in the presence of mesoscale oceanic and
atmospheric structures responsible for spatial inhomogeneity of fluxes.
This data set contains the radiation and pressure measurements collected on Le Suroit during Astex.

IT has been reported in the past half an hour David Turnbull will now enter talks with Norwich about a move to the Premier League side after a bid was accepted by Motherwell this evening AFTER Celtic pulled out.
DAVID TURNBULL UPDATE:
Motherwell have accepted a £3.25 million deal for the midfielder from Premier League club Norwich City. This is after Celtic pulled the plug.
— Ronnie Charters (@STVRonnie) June 18, 2019
It look on again, off again with his potential move to Celtic but the news broke earlier the Scottish Champions had walked away from the potential deal.
The club had waited long enough and decided to cut the chord.
Motherwell would have been holding their breath for another offer and they appear to have it this evening with newly promoted Norwich. The interest from Celtic has probably done the lad a favour and Norwich deciding to cut out the middle man between Celtic and a Premier League move.
Celtic did everything by the book and the player and his agent wanted more money. Turnbull will likely get that at Norwich and will join to former Celts in Teemu Pukki and Patrick Roberts.
Celtic will now press on with other targets.

Please click the link below and enquire directly with NHBS.
Carnivorous plants include some of the most extraordinary organisms in the vegetable kingdom. Though rare amongst plants as a whole, there are more than 700 species of plant that trap and kill animals for their own nourishment worldwide. Such plants are not restricted to the mysterious depths of tropical forests or inaccessible mountain peaks, but occur all around us. Britain and Ireland are collectively home to more than a dozen native plant carnivores. Though increasingly rare as a result of habitat loss, sundews, butterworts and bladderworts can still be found across the wetlands and pristine watercourses of many parts of the islands.
This fully illustrated guide to the carnivorous plants of Britain and Ireland features over 200 images and documents all recognised native species and their hybrids, as well as the non-native species that have become naturalised to form self-sustaining populations on these shores.
An overview of each group of native carnivorous plant is provided, with line drawings and selected photographs to document their particular characteristics. Each species or hybrid thereof is subsequently addressed within its own entry that includes a variety of illustrations of the plant, a detailed description, range map, habitat photos, and, where relevant, notes of interest about the plant within the context of Britain and Ireland. The history of carnivorous plants, a story that involves none other than Charles Darwin himself, as well as their evolution, is discussed in detail. Finally, some of the issues facing carnivorous plants on these shores is discussed, followed by a selection listing a broad selection of resources, including carnivorous plant nurseries and horticultural groups, that are bound to be of interest to those who wish to see them in the field, or cultivate them in their own homes.

|New Study Reveals Health Crisis of Bronx Re-Entry Populations|
Newswise — NEW YORK, July 17, 2014 -- More than 58% of parolees and those released from prison who are sent to the Bronx from New York State prisons have major chronic conditions, including substance abuse and mental issues, AIDS, and hepatitis C, according to a new study by Health People: Community Preventive Health Institute to be released today at The Bronx Re-Entry Working Group’s annual forum to be held at Hostos Community College, The Savoy Room, 120 East 149th Street, from 10 a.m. to 3p.m.
The study, “Health Gaps Survey of Bronx Re-Entry Populations,” sponsored by the Elton John AIDS Foundation, also found that, despite state policy that says prison releases should return to the area where they lived prior to prison, 38% of those surveyed who had been sent to the Bronx by the New York State Department of Corrections and Community Supervision said they had never lived in the Bronx.
“Concentrating this number of people with major health needs in a targeted area is very self-defeating,” said Chris Norwood, Executive Director of Health People and lead author of the study. “It does not enable the releases to integrate back into the communities they know and it starts to overwhelm the poor neighborhoods where they are sent in such high concentrations.”

Premiums gain, profit slips at United Insurance
United Insurance Holdings Corp. reported net income of $4.4 million, or 27 cents a share, for the first quarter of 2013, compared to net income of $4.7 million, or 46 cents a share, in the first quarter of 2012.
Total revenue for the three months ended March 31 was $44.2 million, up nearly 50 percent over the $29.5 million in revenue the company reported in the year-ago period.
Strong premium growth impacted Q1 2013 results, John Forney, CEO, said in a statement. During the quarter, the company added 14,656 new policies and had 157,235 total policies in force at the end of the quarter.
Winter storm Nemo in Massachusetts in February and a severe thunderstorm that struck Orlando in March resulted in increased losses that cut into net income.

DANVILLE, Va. (WFXR) — Firefighters confirmed no one was injured after battling a house fire for several hours on Sept. 26.
According to the Danville Fire Department, the call came in around 10:47 p.m. for a fire in the 1100 block of Adams Street with someone trapped. When crews arrived, they found heavy flames coming from the roof of a single-story house.
Firefighters said crews tried to search for victims but were hindered because the house was used for storage.
However, it was quickly determined the house was unoccupied.
The house sustained extensive damage, and the cause of the fire has not been released, at this time.
WFXR News will update this story as additional details are released.

PESHAWAR - Pakistan nears complete victory in its decisive fight against Taliban militants in Swat Valley as its defense secretary says they hope to crush the Taliban resistance in the region within a couple of days. Meanwhile, there are growing fears of massive revenge attacks.
Pakistan's defense secretary said yesterday that a month-long offensive to crush Taliban fighters in the northwest could end within days, as fierce fighting spilled into a nearby tribal area.
Swat Valley's main town Mingora is back in government hands, the military announced late Saturday, and security officials said they were now pursuing the top leadership of the hard-line Taliban movement into the nearby mountains.
Secretary of Defense Syed Athar Ali told a security forum in Singapore that three targeted northwest districts were almost clear of Taliban rebels.
"Operations in Swat, Buner and adjoining areas have almost met complete success," he said.
"Only five to ten percent of the job is remaining and hopefully within the next two to three days these pockets of resistance will be cleared."
The army remains locked in battle in some areas, but the fall of Mingora was a critical milestone in an offensive launched after the Taliban thrust to within 100 kilometers (60 miles) of Islamabad in April.
Pakistan's military also reported that 25 militants and seven soldiers were killed in clashes in South Waziristan near the Afghan border, a bolt-hole for Taliban and al-Qaeda-linked militants south of the current army bombardment. "Miscreants attacked a security forces check post last night (Saturday) in Spinkai Raghzai, South Waziristan agency. The attack was repulsed successfully, inflicting heavy casualties on militants," it said in a statement.
Fifteen militants and three soldiers died in the clash in Spinkai Raghzai, while elsewhere in the semi-autonomous tribal area 10 insurgents and four troops including a lieutenant died when rebels attacked a military convoy.
Civilians have started fleeing the area fearing a fresh military onslaught, but the army has denied an imminent assault on Waziristan, where militants branded by Washington as the greatest terror threat to the West are holed up.
The United States, which is firmly backing the current military drive, had warned that the rebels threaten Pakistan's very existence. Officials have said that lower-ranking Taliban leaders had been killed but it was harder to get to the top leaders, who had a network of hardcore militants around them and had slipped into the rugged mountain terrain.
"They will be eliminated wherever we find them," said one military official, who did not wish to be named as he was not authorized to speak to the media, adding: "We believe that they are somewhere in the mountains."
Pakistan has slapped a 600,000-dollar price on the head of firebrand Swat Taliban commander Maulana Fazlullah for masterminding the nearly two-year uprising in the valley to enforce sharia law. Fazlullah led thousands of supporters in a campaign that has beheaded opponents, burned schools and fought government troops since November 2007.
The government has also offered rewards for 21 rebel chiefs -- wanted dead or alive -- from Swat. The military claims to have killed 1,244 militants since the offensive began, although the numbers are impossible to verify.
As the government ups its campaign to stamp out the militants, fears are growing of a wave of revenge attacks.
The northwestern capital Peshawar and the eastern cultural center of Lahore have both been rocked by deadly explosions in the last five days, killing a total of 39 people and wounding hundreds more.
Fear of massive revenge attacks
A spokesman for Pakistan Taliban chief Baitullah Mehsud -- who has a five-million-dollar bounty on his head posted by the United States -- has claimed Wednesday's suicide bombing on a police building in Lahore.
Hakimullah Mehsud also warned of more "massive attacks" to avenge the Swat military operation and in protest at Islamabad's ties with Washington. Nearly 2.4 million people have fled the current offensive, and the military relaxed a curfew yesterday in most parts of the northwest including Mingora to allow people trapped on the roads to return home or leave the region.
Also yesterday, Taliban militants attacked a school in Hangu town south of Peshawar, killing one administrator and kidnapping three other people, local policeman Shoukat Hussain said. In North Waziristan, meanwhile, a former government doctor and an Afghan national were killed by suspected militants, officials said.

Chapter 5: Combining Wired and Wireless Networks
A firewall, whether it comes just from NAT or from an SPI firewall in a router (or even from firewall software on your PC or Mac) doesnâ€™t take care of the wireless-specific security that we talk about in Chapter 8 (and which is so vitally important). You need to both take care of securing your network from Internet-based attacks (with a firewall) and also secure it from over-the-air threats on the wireless connection.
Understanding Your Home Router
When you connect your wireless network to the Internet via a broadband connection, you are using the NAT functionality in your router (whether itâ€™s a stand-alone wired router, or a router built into a wireless broadband router product) to create a private network in your home.
In a NAT environment, you configure your network based upon two separate IP address spaces:
Your public IP address: Youâ€™ve typically got only one of these assigned to your public-facing router by your Internet service provider (ISP).
Your private IP addresses: These IP addresses are used within your private subnet.
Your public IP address is (in almost all cases) uniquely yours â€” no one else on the entire Internet should have the same public IP address that you do.
Managing your IP addresses
The first decision you need to make when dealing with IP addresses in your wireless network is whether you want to let your router take care of everything or manually assign the addresses yourself.
Most people just let the router handle the task â€” using a system called Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol, or DHCP, which is built in to all of the major operating systems and supported by just about every stand-alone Wi-Fi device we know of. The default state of just about any router weâ€™ve laid our hands on in the past five years has had DHCP turned on, with the router automatically handling IP addresses.
This is a good setting for many folks â€” itâ€™s pretty much foolproof and it works right out of the box more than nine times out of ten. But in some cases, you might want to mess with the status quo. Some instances include
Part II: Boosting Performance on Your Wireless Network
You may have a device connected to your wireless network that needs a fixed IP address on the network to work properly. Some of the wireless gadgets discussed in Chapter 16 fit this rule.
^ You may be doing a lot of file sharing or other computer-to-computer networking within your LAN and want to make permanent bookmarks or shortcuts to your shares on your desktop (or somewhere on your computer). This is a lot easier to do when you know that those shares arenâ€™t going to change IP addresses all the time.
If youâ€™re using just Windows or OS X, you can pretty much rely upon the file share names used by those operating systems (like the NetBIOS names used in Windows), which remain constant even when IP addresses change. But if youâ€™re mixing and matching other devices (like Linux-based NAS storage devices), it sometimes pays dividends to have fixed IP addresses that you can use.
^ You may have multiple segments on your network that need to be configured manually. Perhaps you have more than one AP and you want to configure your network to allow network resource access from all wireless clients â€” or, conversely, you want to set up your network so that clients attached to some APs have no access to your networked resources.
The following scenarios provide some advice on how you may want to â€śmess withâ€ť your own IP addressing schemes on your routers and APs.
Cascading APs from a central router
Cascading APs from a central router works well if you have a really big home or office or a lot of users. In this scenario, you need, for reasons of coverage or capacity, to have multiple access points on your network â€” and you want them all to be on the same subnet.
Why would you want these wireless APs on the same subnet? Simply because you want to be able to do all of those fun (and common) networking things between and among the devices connected to the networks. For example, say you have two APs. Letâ€™s call them Opie and Cherry (not that either of your authors would name his AP ESSIDs after his dogs). You want a computer on Opie to be able to access network resources (like a printer server) connected to Cherry â€” the networks would have to be on the same subnet to do this.
To set up this kind of a network, youâ€™d need to have a single router providing connectivity to the Internet connection, handling NAT and handing out IP addresses to client devices (via DHCP or manual configuration). How you make such a connection physically depends upon what kind of gear youâ€™ve got on your network.
Chapter 5: Combining Wired and Wireless Networks
If youâ€™ve got a wireless broadband router (that is, one of your APs is also your router), you would simply connect the second (and third, and so on)
APs to one of the wired switch ports on your broadband router. If you are using a separate wired router with a built-in Ethernet switch, you would connect both APs to ports on that switch.

Bank of Baroda Q4 net profit zooms 168 pc; sets aside Rs 500 cr for Go First exposure
State-owned Bank of Baroda on Tuesday reported a 168 per cent jump in its March quarter net profit at Rs 4,775 crore, helped by decline in money set aside for loan losses.
The lender's net profit for the full financial year 2022-23 also nearly doubled to Rs 14,110 crore.
In the reporting quarter, it's core net interest income grew 33.8 per cent to Rs 11,525 crore, aided by a growth in advances of nearly 19 per cent and an expansion in the net interest margin (NIM) to 3.53 per cent as against 3.07 per cent in the year-ago period.
The bank's fee income stood at Rs 1,714 crore, up 4.6 per cent from the year-ago period's Rs 1,638 crore.
Its managing director and chief executive Sanjiv Chadha told reporters that he was himself surprised with the higher NIMs, and will aim to protect the 3.5 per cent level in FY24.
The bank is aiming for a loan growth of 13-14 per cent in FY24, which will include 11-13 per cent growth in the corporate advances, officials said.
In the fourth quarter of FY23, the bank's overall provisions for bad debts decreased by 94 per cent to Rs 320 crore as against Rs 5,200 crore in the year-ago period. Chadha said the credit cost for FY23 came at 0.5 per cent, much below the 1 per cent expectation, and the bank will strive to keep it under 1 per cent in the long term as well.
The gross non-performing assets ratio improved to 3.79 per cent as of March 31, as against 6.61 per cent in the year-ago period and 4.53 per cent in December.
Chadha said the bank's recoveries and upgrades have exceeded the fresh slippages, and the lender will seek to continue with the same performance going ahead as well.
He said Bank of Baroda has a Rs 1,300-crore exposure to the bankrupt carrier Go First, for which it has set aside Rs 500 crore as provisions.
Over Rs 1,000 crore of the exposure is covered with guarantees and has strong underlying securities, he said.
Amid heightened concerns on unsecured lending, Chadha said the bank's bad debt from the personal loan segment stands at 0.89 per cent while the same in housing loans is 1.5 per cent.
The personal loan segment, where it doubled the book in FY23 albeit on a lower base, is also helping the interest margins now, Chadha said, adding that it will continue to grow on this.
Chadha said the bank is witnessing a healthy growth in the business at GIFT City branch, and the total business now stands at USD 5 billion. The GIFT City operation is already the fourth biggest pocket of its global presence and will become the third biggest by end of FY24, he said.
Its overall capital base stood at 16.24 per cent as of March 31, 2023 and it does not have any plans of approaching the markets for a new infusion, Chadha said.
The bank expects progress on stake sales in credit cards and Nainital Bank in the next 2-3 months, Chadha said, adding that both the proposals have gathered good interest.
The bank will take a call on listing its life insurance arm depending on the market conditions, Chadha said, adding that it has time till March 2024 for the IPO.
The Bank of Baroda scrip closed 1.39 per cent up at Rs 186.35 a piece on the BSE as against a 0.66 per cent correction on the benchmark.

The second episode of “The Ultimate Fighter” Season 17 begins with a brief recap of the premiere, in which coaches Jon Jones and Chael Sonnen pick teams. After choosing sides, Jones selects his own Gilbert Smith to take on Team Sonnen’s Luke Barnatt -- much to the chagrin of Smith’s teammate, Josh Samman, who had hoped to compete right out of the gate.
The fighters enter the “TUF” house for the first time following the elimination round, running up the stairs one after the other to choose their rooms. Robert McDaniel concurs with Samman regarding Jones’ first pick, announcing that his lack of control in the matter makes him want to scream.
Back at the gym, Jones runs his boys through the wringer at practice with the help of assistant coaches Frank Mir, Bubba Jenkins, Stonehorse Lone Goeman and John Wood. Preparing the stocky Smith for the lanky Barnatt is this week’s primary focus, but neither Samman nor McDaniel like what they see out of their teammate.
“Gilbert versus Luke is not a fight that any of us are very comfortable with,” says Samman. “The more time I spend with Gilbert, I don’t think he’s ready in terms of cardio. I think there’s more that he could be doing while we’re here to get in better shape.”
Jones holds an informal coaches panel, during which Wood expresses his concern over the matchup. In the van on the way home from practice, Smith tells his teammates that he has yet to hear any positive reinforcement from his coaches. Frustrated at the lack of encouragement and missing his friends and family, Smith breaks down into tears in the backyard with Adam Cella, who later relays the happening to Samman and McDaniel.
During Sonnen’s training session, the former two-time middleweight title challenger introduces his coaches: Vinny Magalhaes, Clayton Hires, Jamie Huey, Scott McQuary and Mike Dolce. Sonnen takes a hands-on approach, putting himself through the same workout as his men in order to better understand their limits and judge their recovery times.
In the Team Jones locker room, McDaniel tells coach Mir about Smith’s emotional episode in the backyard. McDaniel and others in the room are worried about losing control of the picks and it negatively impacting the entire team down the road. Later, the squad collectively tells Smith point-blank that they do not believe him ready for the fight. Smith defends himself from what he describes as “an ambush” while the coaches eavesdrop through the closed door. Jones finally walks in and reinforces his confidence in Smith, a move which his fighter greatly appreciates. As Jones later works with Smith on throwing overhand lefts, teammates Cella and Clint Hester espouse their belief that Smith will win the fight.
Sonnen and his coaches drop by the fighter house to visit the squad and talk a little strategy. The leader of “Team Darkside” pulls Uriah Hall aside and explains one of his primary goals is to advance the favorite to the next round. Hall has no interest in beating around the bush and tells Sonnen that he wants to fight tough competition right off the bat.
“I want to fight Josh. I want to fight Adam,” says Hall. “I want to take out their best players.”
Smith and Barnatt weigh in, and the Brit tells his mates that even if Smith manages to navigate the enormous height and reach disparity that he will still hurt Smith with elbows from the guard. Smith says that while he does not enjoy hurting people, the desire to win sometimes requires him to send people to the hospital. Smith then delivers what appears to be a carefully rehearsed Rocky Balboa impression, announcing that in order to beat him, Barnatt will have to kill him, which means Sonnen’s fighter must be ready to die himself. I guess that would make us Adrian in this equation, leaving the skinny Barnatt to play Ivan Drago. Hang on, I’ll stop laughing about this horrible remake in just a minute.
Both men are now in the cage, and referee Steve Mazzagatti starts the action. Barnatt catches his foe with a low kick to the cup, but Smith recovers quickly. Smith works hard for a single-leg takedown, but Barnatt works right back to his feet before hitting a nice outside trip. Smith also escapes to a vertical base quickly, pressing the Brit against the cage. Barnatt grabs a Thai clinch and lands two sharp knees to the body. Both men score takedowns, but neither can keep the other down. Barnatt stuffs another attempt and transitions to Smith’s back briefly before allowing the American to grab another single-leg. Barnatt pops back up and starts to work his jab again, landing a crisp right as the round expires.
Round two begins with both men winging punches before Smith snatches another single-leg. Barnatt again defends and regains his base, touching a doubled-over Smith with elbows and knees. Smith again takes Barnatt down, but Sonnen’s man once more responds with a wall-walk. Barnatt hits his trip one more time and tries to secure mount, but Smith will not accept it, rising to fire that overhand left followed by a right hook. Just as Smith looks to be turning the tide, he dives on another takedown only to be met with a flying knee square on the temple. Mazzagatti waves the fight off before Barnatt can even follow up, as Smith is out cold.
“Gilbert lost the fight tonight before he got here,” says Jones. “I don’t feel as if he ever really got the ball rolling, and Luke came with better cardio and more confidence. I don’t think cardio should ever be a reason for losing a fight.”
After Team Jones’ defeat, McDaniel calls out Team Sonnen’s Kevin Casey in front of the whole gym as a way to perhaps influence Sonnen’s decision for the next fight and maintain some semblance of control over his future. Casey is not a big fan of this technique.
The attempt is not immediately successful, as Sonnen picks Uriah Hall to fight Adam Cella next week in what apparently results in one of the most violent knockouts UFC President Dana White has ever seen.

Even campaigning to election voters earlier than election for public workplace, social networking web site is used. This isn’t really the case for on-line dating sites, the place members will favor extra safety, comfort, privateness and seriousness in mingling with other members. The only real function of getting into in these websites is admittedly to seek out dates which at first might solely be for friendship however because the time goes on, this can even result in a critical relationship like a pair and ultimately will lead to marriage in the future.
Often, we are our worst enemies relating to having a wholesome self-image and a positive vision for our life. Don’t let yourself be influenced by unfavourable thoughts about love and relationships. Daily, couples tie the knot! Love can and will occur at any age, if you’re open and receptive.
Do not miss this one my associates! *Optimistic Attitudes.
So, you’ve learn some first date horror stories and possibly have just a few of your personal. Is your date destined for disaster, or are these omens all a matter of perception that wants somewhat tweaking? Indicators that your meeting is heading towards failure can actually be a sign of something far more attractive.
Singles have so much on their plates most of the time. Attempting to please their boss, attending conferences, giving productive solutions, working their way to the highest just to name just a few. With all the duties singles have on their plate, they could surrender no trying to find time to fulfill different professional singles looking to cool down. This will trigger a very lonely world and trigger skilled singles to proceed to work much more simply to not need to experience the disagreeable feeling of loneliness.
You’ll already know from viewing their profile.
A variety of circumstances show us that attractive ladies typically fall for the male version of a plain Jane. It is because these girls looking for males will not be on the lookout for somebody who would be the centre of attention all over the place he goes but rather make them the centre of consideration wherever he goes. Sensitive males are all that ladies want from a relationship. For instance, ladies searching for men are in search of an actual relationship which would not end in heartbreak for them. With rugged men who are the cynosure of all eyes, this can be a powerful expectation as the constant attention is bound to drive them away.
Now on to the fellows; don’t rush the bodily intimacy. Women usually are not afraid of physical intimacy and many ladies do participate in informal relationships. Nevertheless, basically, ladies need to feel emotionally connected to their men and have time invested in the relationship earlier than they commit to furthering the physical intimacy in the relationship. Now guys, everyone knows that this isn’t the case with you and that bodily intimacy is excessive on your list of needs in a relationship and if you end up in a dedicated relationship with a girl, the act of physical relations for you is your manner of expressing your love for her. In fact, that could be onerous for some ladies to consider or comprehend, however that is the way you guys present love in a committed relationship. When it comes to physical love in an informal relationship, effectively, that falls more into the class of lust.
There are various methods wherein a matchmaker can set you up with somebody fascinating. First there’s the normal methodology blind dating the place neither of the individuals knows each other. These dates are generally arrange by people who know each the parties. Typically, the matchmakers in such a dating are mates or family members.

On 16 October a cross-party group of MEPs demanded a phase-out of glyphosate by December 2020. They want a ban on non-professional use of the herbicide and use in public parks or playgrounds after 15 December 2017, when the current authorisation expires. The MEPs want the Commission to withdraw its proposal for a 10-year renewal.
The MEPs also want a ban on agricultural application after 15 December 2017 in cases where integrated plant protection methods are sufficient. They are asking for Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) funds to be made available to farmers to support the transition to more sustainable methods of weed control.
In addition, the MEPs asked for a complete overhaul of the EU’s risk assessment of pesticides. They want the REFIT reform of EU regulations to be used to ensure that the scientific evaluation of pesticides for regulatory approval is based only on published, peer-reviewed and independent studies commissioned by competent public authorities.
The MEPs’ demands appeared in a draft resolution  that will be debated and voted on 19 October in the ENVI Committee.
These developments come ahead of the planned vote on the renewal of the authorisation for glyphosate in the Standing Committee (Plants, Animals, Food and Feed) on 23 October.
The MEPs’ draft resolution follows shortly after a joint ENVI/AGRI committee hearing in the European Parliament on the “Monsanto papers” and glyphosate, held on 11 October. You can watch videos of all the presentations here .

During your biannual dental checkup and cleaning, your dental hygienist or dentist will perform a periodontal examination to determine if you have periodontal disease. Periodontal disease, also known as gum disease, is an infection of the tissue that holds the teeth in place.
When checking for periodontal disease, Dr. De la Torre will use a small, specially designed instrument called a periodontal probe to measure the space (sulcus) between each tooth and its gum. A healthy pocket depth measures no more than 3 millimeters and will not bleed. If an individual has periodontal disease and neglects to seek treatment the pockets between the teeth and gums will deepen. Tooth mobility and pocket depth, in addition to the inflammation and/or bleeding an individual is experiencing, determines which stage of periodontal disease he or she has.
In this stage, plaque and its toxic by-products cause inflammation in the gums. Consequently, the gums become tender and are likely to bleed. This is commonly referred to as Gingivitis.
The plaque hardens, becoming tartar. As the tartar and plaque builds up, the pockets between the teeth, and gums continue to deepen. This causes the gums to pull away from the teeth. As the pockets fill with bacteria, the body tries to fight the bacterial infection causing pus to form in the pockets. At this point, the gums are extremely irritated and bleed easily. In addition, some bone loss may be evident.
Lack of treatment has allowed the bacteria to continue destroying the tissue holding the teeth as well as the bone and the gums. As a result, the teeth have lost a substantial amount of support and, unless treatment is sought, the affected teeth may be lost. Furthermore, widespread moderate to severe bone loss may be seen.
The periodontal treatment that Dr. Alina de la Torre recommends depends on the stage of the disease. If the disease is caught during the first stage and no damage has occurred, Dr. de la Torre will most likely recommend one or two regular cleanings. If the disease has progressed to stage two or three, a deep cleaning will be recommended. If the pockets neglect to heal, periodontal surgery to reduce the pocket depths may be necessary.
Residents of Tampa, Westchase and its surrounding communities choose Dr. Alina de la Torre to help them improve and/or maintain their smile. Dr. de la Torre’s dedication and experience have made her one of the premier dentists on Florida’s West Coast. If you reside in the Tampa area and you need dental care, please contact Delatorre Dentistry today at (813) 792-9400. We look forward to seeing your smile!

Rachel Joyce is the author of THE UNLIKELY PILGRAIMGEhas written over twenty original afternoon plays for BBC Radio 4, and has created major adaptations for the Classic series and Woman’s Hour, as well as a TV drama adaptation for BBC2. In 2007 she won the Tinniswood Award for Best Radio Play. Joyce moved to writing after a twenty-year career in theatre and television, performing leading roles for the RSC, the Royal National Theatre, The Royal Court and Cheek by Jowl; and winning a Time Out Best Actress Award and the Sony Silver. She currently lives in Gloucestershire with her family and is at work on her second novel.
Meet Harold Fry, recently retired. He lives in a small English village with his wife, Maureen, who seems irritated by almost everything he does, even down to how he butters his toast. Little differentiates one day from the next. Then one morning the mail arrives, and within the stack of quotidian minutiae is a letter addressed to Harold in a shaky scrawl from a woman he hasn’t seen or heard from in twenty years. Queenie Hennessy is in hospice and is writing to say goodbye.
Harold pens a quick reply and, leaving Maureen to her chores, heads to the corner mailbox. But then, as happens in the very best works of fiction, Harold has a chance encounter, one that convinces him that he absolutely must deliver his message to Queenie in person. And thus begins the unlikely pilgrimage at the heart of Rachel Joyce’s remarkable debut. Harold Fry is determined to walk six hundred miles from Kingsbridge to the hospice in Berwick-upon-Tweed because, he believes, as long as he walks, Queenie Hennessey will live.
Still in his yachting shoes and light coat, Harold embarks on his urgent quest across the countryside. Along the way he meets one fascinating character after another, each of whom unlocks his long-dormant spirit and sense of promise. Memories of his first dance with Maureen, his wedding day, his joy in fatherhood, come rushing back to him—allowing him to also reconcile the losses and the regrets. As for Maureen, she finds herself missing Harold for the first time in years.
And then there is the unfinished business with Queenie Hennessy.
A novel of unsentimental charm, humor, and profound insight into the thoughts and feelings we all bury deep within our hearts, The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry introduces Rachel Joyce as a wise—and utterly irresistible—storyteller.
Advance praise for The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry
“When it seems almost too late, Harold Fry opens his battered heart and lets the world rush in. This funny, poignant story about an ordinary man on an extraordinary journey moved and inspired me.”—Nancy Horan, author of Loving Frank
“There’s tremendous heart in this debut novel by Rachel Joyce, as she probes questions that are as simple as they are profound: Can we begin to live again, and live truly, as ourselves, even in middle age, when all seems ruined? Can we believe in hope when hope seems to have abandoned us? I found myself laughing through tears, rooting for Harold at every step of his journey. I’m still rooting for him.”—Paula McLain, author of The Paris Wife
“Marvelous! I held my breath at his every blister and cramp, and felt as if by turning the pages, I might help his impossible quest succeed.”—Helen Simonson, author of Major Pettigrew’s Last Stand
“Harold’s journey is ordinary and extraordinary; it is a journey through the self, through modern society, through time and landscape. It is a funny book, a wise book, a charming book—but never cloying. It’s a book with a savage twist—and yet never seems manipulative. Perhaps because Harold himself is just wonderful. . . . I’m telling you now: I love this book.”—Erica Wagner, The Times (UK)
“The odyssey of a simple man . . . original, subtle and touching.”—Claire Tomalin, author of Charles Dickens: A Life
“The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry takes the most ordinary and unassuming of men and turns him into a hero for us all. To go on this journey with Harold will not only break your heart, it might just also heal it.”—Tiffany Baker, author of The Little Giant of Aberdeen County.

Taryn Young, who is originally from South Africa, moved to Aberdeen in 2003 and began piling on the pounds.
After doubling her bodyweight, the 33-year-old decided enough was enough and decided to hit her work gym every lunchtime.
At her heaviest, Taryn tipped the scales at 18st and wore a size 22. But after changing up her lunch habits and ditching junk food she lost half her bodyweight.
The mum-of-one now weighs a healthy 9st 3lbs and has competed in two bodybuilding competitions.
There are so many breakfast options: Read here to see the most healthy ones
Taryn, who now wear a size 8, said: “Back when I first moved to the UK I had absolutely no idea how to eat properly. I would binge eat all kinds of rubbish foods, then attempt to diet by living off toast and skipping breakfast. I never lost any weight doing this and I would spend days wondering why.
“It wasn’t until I had my daughter in 2012 when I realised something needed to change. I began by making small but effective lifestyle changes that made me feel so much better as a person.”
The fitness fantaic swapped in cookie and chocolate bars for a healthy diet that included foods from online food retailer MuscleFood.com.
The oil company administrator said: “I quit the sugary snacks and made myself eat breakfast, which is something I never did back in my twenties.
“But I have found that by training my body to eat in the morning, I have the fuel I need to start the day right, which means I no longer snack on the wrong foods.”
She now eats three hearty meals a day and three snacks, and trains at the gym five days per week.
Taryn’s diet includes chicken satay, chipotle chilli, fishcakes, along with plenty of fruit and veggies.
She said: “I am lucky enough to work in an office that has its own gym, which means I can do my workouts at lunchtime so I can spend my evenings with my five-year-old daughter Rachel.
“I want to be able to inspire mums to not give up their passions in life just because they have kids. I can be a mum to my daughter, whilst also living my dream of competing as a body builder.
“It’s not as hard as people might think. My daughter and I eat the exact same meals every evening as they are wholesome and provide all the nutrients our bodies need, it’s all about portion control.”

Millennials are the majority of the workforce, with more than half of them already ascending into leadership roles and transforming business. A new white paper from Deloitte and the Billie Jean King Leadership Initiative has collected and analyzed three years worth of data, with its findings demonstrating that purpose-driven millennials seek innovation and collaboration, and using technology that enables flexibility to help get the job done.
So exactly how are millennials driving transformation? Billie Jean King, Founder of the Billie Jean King Leadership Initiative, Christie Smith, National Managing Principal for Deloitte University Center for Inclusion and Stephanie Turner, Manager, Deloitte's Survey Research and Analytics Center share their thoughts.
What are the main findings of the report?
BJK: Millennials are seeking purpose driven work. We found that nearly two-thirds of millennials said that they chose their organization because it seemed purpose-driven. For the millennial generation, an organization exists to create business purposeful impact first. Profits will follow. These findings highlight how essential purpose is for businesses.
How are millennials shaking up the country's workplaces?
BJK: Millennials are seeking work/life balance. They are challenging the way work gets done and identified "flexible working conditions and work/life integration" as the No. 1 way organizations would have to change if they wish to improve retention. And although eager to serve in leadership roles, they are not committed to the traditional corporate ladder or being type casted role of previously defined leadership.
How is technology encouraging millennials to be bolder in the workplace?
ST: Millennials were raised as digital natives. We look to technology to redefine how work gets done and where work gets done, but unfortunately we're not always finding what we need in our organizations to do this. In our research, we found eight in 10 agree that developments in technology will make their working lives "more fulfilling." However, when it comes to innovation, one-quarter cite "the attitude of senior management" as a barrier to innovation and one-third believe their companies don't invest enough in research and development.
How can established companies introduce the successful techniques and culture of start-ups into their businesses?
CS: First, millennials want to understand the organization's purpose and how that purpose drives the business strategy and direction. Second, companies should consider how leadership is defined within their organizations. The traditional unidirectional flow of information from top to bottom often prohibits innovation and collaboration. Inspired by millennials, professionals in all generations value complete transparency. Third, millennials want to use technology tools and platforms to innovate, communicate, and collaborate seamlessly up, down, and across the organization. Our first paper showed how millennials redefine inclusion by teaming, collaboration, communication, etc. - the faster we get with challenging the status quo, the better.
As a millennial, how are you transforming the culture and communication between younger members of staff at Deloitte?
ST: From a communication perspective, I'm not in the same place as most of my teams, so I have found ways to build and maintain effective relationships using technology to collaborate, innovate, and problem solve. Culturally, the needs and desires of my generation have inspired an open dialogue with leadership that ultimately benefits all generations. I don't think anyone wants to show up to work without purpose, without the option to think creatively, and without the ability to fit their career goals into a healthy and balanced life.
What impact do you think this report will have on companies across the US?
BJK: Through this collaboration between the Billie Jean King Leadership Initiative and Deloitte, the research we're doing highlights important generational differences in the business landscape and the importance of cultivating an inclusive culture. There is a phrase I use in coaching - champions adjust. If corporations want to win with millennials, they need to be willing to adjust their approach and adapt to this changing culture. Organizations that are able to see and reevaluate their cultures through the eyes of this new generation of workers will be able to retain millennial talent, remain competitive, and foster innovation.

Now That We Have Coke-Flavored Wine, The Food Scientists Can Focus on These Food Innovations
Remember when you were a kid at a fast food joint and you’d be a little brat and fill your soda cup with a mix of all the sodas in the fountain? You’d call it an “experiment” but it was really just a disgusting mess. A French winemaker is making headlines for doing the grown-up version of that.
“Red Lollipop,” from the French Rouge Sucette, is “75% wine with the balance in sugar, water and cola flavoring.” It sounds delicious at first – the mix of coke and wine – but then you remember it’s horrifying. A wizard could sell it as “Hangover Potion.”
My haterism re: mixing weird things in wine is not unfounded. I was once lured in by the promises of something called “Chocolate Wine”–ostensibly wine mixed with chocolate milk–and I haven’t been able to trust weird new flavored wines since. In retrospect, chocolate milk and wine doesn’t sound like a good combo.
Coke and wine isn’t even a new thing; all this winemaker did was figure out how to make it shelf stable (food biz lingo for “able to sit on a shelf for a long time”.) Kalimotxo is a bar and party drink where red wine and coke are mixed in a tumbler with ice. The drink is a major part of the culture of the Basque people on the Spanish/French border.
But now that we’ve got coke and wine figured out, what other food combos that sound awesome but are probably not actually great should food people be working on? Here’s my wish list:
Beer and Fried Chicken
What’s better than sitting down to a giant plate of fried chicken and an ice cold beer? Combining the two! With Chicken Beer you get the flavor and crunch of fried chicken with the cold, refreshing, beerniess of a cold, refreshing, beer.
Satisfy your drunk munchies instantly with Chicken Beer! Half the calories of a plate of chicken and a beer!
Try it with ranch dressing!
Now see, this sounds awesome in concept, but then you find yourself drinking a salty, crunchy, beer and wishing your taste buds went on strike.
Okay, it would be pretty gross if it was actually crunchy, but I’d obviously drink fried chicken-flavored beer, who wouldn’t?
Seafood and Starburst
The flavor of freshly caught fish, served raw as sashimi or ceviche, is unbeatable. But it’s tough to always have fresh fish around and almost impossible keep friends when you’ve got pockets full of fish all the time.
Why not capture that fresh fish flavor somewhere small, juicy, and individually wrapped?
Fish-flavored Starburst! And not just tuna and salmon, other seafoods too, like clam, lobster and squid.
Now you can always have a fresh burst of fish juice whenever you want. Very busy sushi fans would love it.
This one sounds gross, but wouldn’t it be cool to chew on some lobster candy?
Croissants and Donuts
You beat me to it this time, Ansel, but I’ll win next time.
Freeze Pops and Time Travel
It would be great if you could travel back in time to the days when one of these things could infinitely brighten your day, the simple Freeze Pop made all your childish worries melt away as the colored sugar melted on your tongue and you felt cool and comfortable and perfect.
Now you think they’re “alright, but kinda messy”.
That would be a great food invention.
Salad and Salad Dressing
You know, if companies that do genetically modified foods are in the vegetable genomes altering stuff already, why don’t they just go ahead and add ranch flavoring to lettuce? I’d eat so much more lettuce! Spinach should taste like Thousand Island the second it comes out of the ground!
Caffeine and Cereal
Okay, I love my morning cup of coffee as much as, and probably more than, the next guy. But sometimes I don’t have time for it!
What if they made caffeinated cereal so you could get your fix (remember how caffeine’s an addictive drug?) while enjoying a delicious bowl of something way too sweet to eat first thing in the morning. It’s half the time of making a cup of coffee and cereal like a freaking caveman, and cheaper too, probably!
I’d love to get a boost from a bowl of Grape Nuts.
Nutella and Anything
If you combine something with Nutella, it will sell, guaranteed. People are obsessed with this stuff. Maybe some kind of Nutella Skin Transfusion/Hand Lotion (whichever’s easier) that makes your skin taste like Nutella?
Does Coca-Cola wine sound good to you? Would you try it, or are you waiting for the diet? Would you eat any of my food inventions?

International Day of the Midwife: how things have changed!
Sunday 4th May is the International day of the Midwife and in the week leading up to it we have been celebrating Cumbria’s midwives. We have shared stories from women and families who have said thank you to the midwives who supported them through their pregnancies and births.
Alison Smith, System Chief Nurse said: “It has been very humbling for all of us to read these beautiful stories of thanks and although I’m sure most would say they are ‘just doing their job’ it goes to show what a difference our midwifery teams make to Cumbria’s women and families. I’m am very proud to have these wonderful people working in our midwifery services and I hope they also realise how their kindness and professionalism has touched and made a difference to so many.”
Ruth McCall has been a midwife for over 30 years and to celebrate International Day of the Midwife on Sunday 5 May she has been talking about how the profession has changed with the times and how some practices that are common place now would have been considered ‘wacky’ when she first qualified.
Ruth said: “When you look at old photos one of the obvious differences is the uniforms, dresses with rather fancy but useless hats. I served in the British Army for seven years in Queen Alexandra’s Nursing Corps where they had a particularly impractical uniform. Midwifery is a very practical job and scrubs on labour ward are far better.
“Some of the changes in midwifery may have been viewed as rather ‘hippie’ or alternative 30 years ago but there is now a significant bank of evidenced-based research behind midwifery practice including offering a more woman-centred approach to care.
“Water births were almost unheard of when I trained but now each maternity unit has a pool room and, for those whom it is appropriate for, women are offered the benefit of drug free pain relief as well as more conventional analgesia in a hospital setting.
“We now routinely offer a home birth service for those women who are suitable for one and women are now encouraged to be upright and active as much as possible in labour as it has been shown to improve normal labour. Skin to skin contact is offered at every delivery where the baby is placed on the mother’s chest at birth and covered as they both recover from the birth and to aid bonding. Delayed clamping of the cord at birth is also offered to allow the transfer of more red blood cells, stem and immune cells to the baby.
“Women now have a much shorter stay in hospital, 30 years ago it would have been five days for your first baby and up to 10 days following a Caesarean section. Now women are keen to go home as early as six hours after birth and only a two night stay following a caesarean. With fathers having much longer paternity leave there is more support at home, and now there are more community midwives to give care at home rather than in the hospital.
“30 years ago midwives and health visitors recommended placing your baby on their front to sleep: advice now is to place the baby on their backs following research and the ‘Back to Sleep’ campaign launched in 1991 has reduced unexplained babies deaths by 80%. (National Office of Statistics 2018).
“Advances in information technology mean that women now have access to their maternity records and advice on their phones with a new App being introduced this year. Midwives are also working to improve the continuity of care women receive: Presently in Carlisle women receive care in the antenatal and postnatal period from their named midwife 80% of the time and we are now looking at how the service can improve the rate of continuity in labour for women in line with the Better Births report.
“After 34 years as a midwife I still find it a fascinating career: there is always something new to learn. I started out with conventional nurse training and then went into midwifery gaining my degree a few years after my initial qualification. Today most midwives enter the profession directly through the degree course.
“It is meeting the women and their families who make this job very special. It’s a privilege to be able to care for families at this very important time and every baby is very unique and special.
“Midwifery is a very satisfying career and I would recommend it to anyone – male or female looking for a challenging but rewarding career.”

I stay at Mantra on Russell
, a hotel in Melbourne, with a space so big, it is like staying in a small apartment with its washing machine, a fully equipped kitchen, a bedroom, a balcony, a dining table, and a living room. It has two TV sets --in the bedroom and the living room-- and a sound system.
Maybe Obelix will say, "The Australian must be crazy."
Imagine hotel rooms in Tokyo!
|Mantra on Russel|
Problem is I almost did not spend much time in this spacious room but taking a shower and sleeping. I have a busy schedule in Melbourne, basically attending seven events each day. It includes a seminar at the University of Melbourne, talking about the effort to release political prisoners in West Papua and the Moluccas Islands.
On May 9, 2015, President Joko Widodo announced clemency
for five Papuan prisoners --Apotnalogolik Lokobal, Numbungga Telenggen, Kimanus Wenda, Linus Hiluka, and Jefrai Murib-- while visiting Papua’s provincial capital of Jayapura. The five men, convicted by a Wamena court in 2003 for their alleged role in a raid on an Indonesian Armed Forces weapons arsenal in Wamena on April 4, 2003, that resulted in the deaths of two soldiers, were serving prison terms ranging from 19 years and 10 months to life imprisonment.
They were released during Widodo’s visit to Abepura prison, in Jayapura. Only Telenggen and Murib, who were sentenced to life, were involved in the raid. The other three were arrested because of their pro-independence views.
|Balcony which shows Russel Street. |
Most Papuan and Mollucan political prisoners reject the concept of clemency as it requires an admission of guilt in return for release. The Indonesian government consistently arrests and jails protesters for peacefully advocating independence or other political change. Many such arrests and prosecutions are of activists who peacefully raise banned symbols, such as the Papuan Morning Star and the South Moluccan RMS flags.
|Making a mug of tea in the kitchen.|
Under Indonesian law, President Widodo has three options for releasing prisoners: clemency, amnesty, or abolition. Clemencies require a request for clemency from the prisoner and an admission of guilt. Indonesian law obligates the president to consult the Supreme Court prior to granting any clemencies. The president can also grant convicted prisoners an amnesty and grant prisoners whose legal process is not yet exhausted abolition. Neither abolitions nor amnesties require a prisoner’s request or admission of guilt, but the president must consult the House of Representatives prior to issuing either abolition or an amnesty.
|Living room with its own TV set.|
Most of Indonesia’s political prisoners were convicted of makar (rebellion or treason) under articles 106 and 110 of the Indonesian Criminal Code. Article 6 of Government Regulation 77/2007, which regulates regional symbols and prohibits display of flags or logos that have the same features as “organizations, groups, institutions or separatist movements.” Both the Papuan Morning Star flag and the flag of the Republic of the South Moluccas (Republik Maluku Selatan, RMS) are considered to fall under this ban.
|The bathroom with a bath tub.|
The conduct of the Indonesian security forces in Papua has also bred a deepening antipathy between native Papuans and Indonesian authorities. The security forces in Papua have been implicated in dozens of human rights abuses over the past decade, including the killing of five unarmed peaceful protesters in the remote town of Enarotali on December 8, 2014. Three separate official probes into the shootings, conducted by the police, the national human rights commission, and an informal military-and-police effort, have yet to release the result of their investigations.
|The kitchen has full equipment. |
Redress for such abuses is often obstructed by a lack of transparency fueled by official restrictions on media freedom in Papua. The Indonesian government has for decades effectively blocked foreign media from freely reporting in Papua by only allowing access to foreign journalists who get special official permission to visit the island.
The government rarely approves these applications or delays processing them, hampering efforts by journalists and nongovernmental groups to report on breaking events. Official minders invariably shadow journalists who do get official permission, strictly controlling their movements and access to people they want to interview.
|It has only a single bedroom. |
Widodo told a group of foreign reporters on May 9 that he would declare a complete lifting of those restrictions on May 10. However, he did not provide any details and it is uncertain how quickly and how effectively Indonesia’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs, which has long regulated foreign media access to Papua, will implement the measure. There are also serious questions about the degree to which Papuan security forces will respect the right of foreign media to freely operate in Papua.
Indonesian authorities in August 2014 detained Thomas Dandois and Valentine Bourrat, two French journalists who were producing a documentary, and threatened them with “subversion” charges for allegedly filming members of the separatist Free Papua Movement (OPM). On October 6, a court in Papua’s city of Jayapura convicted them of “abusive use of entry visas,” sentenced them to time served, and released them the same day.
Although the government permits Indonesian domestic media to report from Papua, there are serious questions about the reliability and objectivity of their reporting in the face of government efforts to control the flow of information from the island. Official documents leaked in 2011 indicate that the Indonesian military employs about two dozen Papua-based Indonesian journalists as informers. The military has also financed and trained journalists and bloggers, warning them about alleged foreign interference in Papua, including by the US and other governments.
It was these ideas that I share in Melbourne. I guess the hotel room becomes less relevant now. I also almost never used it but for taking a shower and sleeping.
