UNSC condemns Syria blasts
In a statement, the 15-member Council, including India, last night expressed "deep sympathy and sincere condolences to the victims of these heinous acts and to their families, and to the people of Syria."
The statement came hours after twin suicide car bombings outside two buildings of Syria`s powerful intelligence agencies left at least 44 people dead and over 150 injured.
Syria is already facing a crisis in the wake of the 9-month uprising against President Bashar Assad`s rule.
In a departure from usual practice, the UNSC statement did not offer condolences to the Syrian government.
"The members of the Security Council reaffirmed that terrorism in all its forms and manifestations constitutes one of the most serious threats to international peace and security, and that any acts of terrorism are criminal and unjustifiable, regardless of their motivation, wherever, whenever and by whomsoever committed," it said.
In a separate statement, UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon voiced grave concern over the escalating violence in Syria, including the suicide attacks in the capital, renewing his call for an immediate end to the bloodshed.
He urged the need for a "credible, inclusive and legitimate Syrian-led process of comprehensive political change that will address the democratic aspirations of the Syrian people," said the statement issued by his spokesperson.
Ban said the Syrian government "should fully and speedily implement the peace plan put forward by the League of Arab States."
Since the beginning of the Syrian uprising over nine months ago, the UN Security Council has remained deeply divided over the actions that should be taken against Syrian President Assad`s regime, whose brutal crackdown on civilians has resulted in the death of over 5,000 people.
European and US diplomats are demanding a resolution that imposes an arms embargo and other sanctions on Syrian regime.
On the other hand, Russia and China, which have close ties with Assad`s regime, have been opposing any kind of sanctions. They say the government forces alone are not responsible for the violence and killings but that the opposition too should be held accountable.
"If the requirement is that we drop all reference to violence coming from extreme opposition, that`s not going to happen," Russia`s envoy Vitaly Churkin said here. "If they expect us to have arms embargo, that`s not going to happen."
"We know what arms embargo means these days. It means that – we saw it in Libya – that you cannot supply weapons to the government but everybody else can supply weapons to various opposition groups."
Russia submitted a revised version of its draft resolution that called on all parties to show maximum restraint. It did not make any mention of the government crackdown on civilians.
German Ambassador Peter Wittig called the latest Russian draft insufficient. "We need to put the weight of the Council behind the Arab League. That includes the demands to release political prisoners…(and) a clear signal for accountability for those who have perpetrated human rights violations."
Wittig said Friday`s bombings are "a sign of escalation, that the situation is rapidly deteriorating." "It underlines the need … for the Council to act: We cannot let the things just happen, we need to act here and those events underline the need to act urgently," he said.
So far, the only Council action in case of Syria has been a Presidential statement that was passed in August under India`s Presidency.

Today Uganda joins the international community to celebrate the world AIDS day. The main ceremony is set to take place in Manafwa district and President Museveni is expected to be the guest of honor to preside over the ceremony. This year the day runs on an international theme “Know your status”.
The World AIDS Day has been celebrated since 1988 with the major aim of raising awareness of the AIDS pandemic caused by the spread of HIV infection and also to mourn those who have died of the disease. Internationally, the celebrations are majorly spearheaded by government’s health officials, non-government organizations with the message on AIDS prevention and control.
Uganda is one of the countries where the endemic has made devastating effects with the Ministry of Health indicating that the endemic has claimed between 1.5 million and 2 million lives since 1982. This has left over 1.8 million children orphaned according to the Ministry.
Figures from the Ministry of Health also indicate that there about 1.5 million Ugandans currently living with the Virus though there are arguments that the number of victims may be far higher than that.
AIDS became known in Uganda in the early 1980s and unfortunately most Ugandans mistook it for witchcraft and other traditional disorders basically because of the low advancement in the country’s medical science by then.
Still unfortunate for Uganda, AIDS has claimed mostly the young people in their productive years and they leave behind children increasing the dependence burden on relatives and guardians who adopt them hence crippling the country’s economic growth.
Uganda’s effort to control AIDS
Ever since the epidemic became known in the country, the government, non-government organization and all stakeholders the health sector in Uganda have not relaxed to fight it.
Uganda was the first country in Africa to open a voluntary counseling and testing (VCT) Clinic Centers commonly known as the AIDS Information Center as well as pioneering the concept of voluntary HIV testing centers in Sub Saharan Africa.
The high rate in the spread of HIV in 1980s and 1990s in Uganda created an urgent need for the government to educate and sensitize the people to know their status and learn how to control it. Subsequently the government adopted several approaches to try and control the endemic.
Among the approaches adopted include the Multi-Sectoral Control Approach that was adopted in 1992, the Uganda AIDS Commission was also founded in the same year and it has been instrumental in developing a national HIV/AIDS policy.
Several other programs have been developed including the implementation of birth practices and safe infant feeding counseling in 2000 by the Ministry of Health. After the implementation of this program, the Ministry reported that about 41,000 women received Preventing Mother To Child Transmission of HIV (PMTCT) services in 2001.
President Museveni has also been loudly applauded as far as the fight against the AIDS endemic is concerned. The President is majorly noted for spearheading a campaign known as the ABC program that focuses on sensitizing and encouraging Ugandans to abstain from sex, endorse monogamy and to use condoms in case the first two measures fail. This campaign has been widely spread through various institutions including schools at all levels and communities and it is believed to have produced much fruits.

Hyundai showcases interior of India-bound Ioniq 5
Hyundai Motor India Limited (HMIL) has showcased the interior of the upcoming all-electric Ioniq 5. The highlights of the cabin are two large displays, environmentally friendly upholstery, and powered seats. Meanwhile, the brand will commence bookings of the Ioniq 5 in India on 20 December, 2022.
Hyundai Ioniq 5 Interior Highlights
For starters, the Ioniq 5 gets powered front seats with lumbar support. The rear seats also get electronically adjustable sliding and reclining functions. Notably, the rear seats can be moved forward and backwards by 135mm.
Moreover, Hyundai offers a seat-memory function for all seats, allowing passengers to save up to three position settings. On top of that, the rear seat passengers can adjust the co-driver seat with the push of a button. The Ioniq 5 also has a movable centre console, offering up to 140mm travel. Unlike conventional units, this gets two cup holders and an armrest but there is a space between the two.
Hyundai Ioniq 5 Eco-Friendly Upholstery
Hyundai has exclusively utilised environmentally friendly materials to make Ioniq 5's cabin headliner and upholstery. For each model, the automaker uses up to 32 plastic bottles to make woven upholstery fabric. Then, the seat, headliner, and carpet fabric use bio components extracted from sugar cane and corn.

More than 50 companies are calling for a rapid deployment of clean energy technologies to build a prosperous zero-emission Australia. In fact, they are already getting to work.
Supporters include cleantech developers and companies that already assemble or manufacture wind turbines, lithium-ion batteries, solar panels, thermal storage, electric buses and onshore utility vehicles in Australia.
From household names like Toshiba and Schneider Electric to small companies looking to grow like Fonz, Allegro and Reclaim Energy, these companies are putting their collective weight behind efforts to rapidly reduce Australia’s emissions and take advantage of new markets. that it creates.
This group has coalesced behind the recommendations of the think tank, Beyond Zero Emissions’ latest report, Deploy, which demonstrates that an 81% reduction in emissions by 2030 is possible using technology we already know. Six key technologies will do the heavy lifting, but we need to accelerate the speed with which we deploy them.
Recently, 26 of the 51 companies that joined this initiative were presented by Beyond Zero Emissions at COP27.
For example, solar panels will require a relatively modest doubling of the current deployment rate, but for others we will accelerate almost from a standing start. To electrify our transport systems, electric vehicles will need to be deployed 14 times faster than they are today – Sweden has done this – by accelerating its EV deployment by 17 times over six years to 2021 and we can too.
“This challenge is a huge opportunity for Australian households and businesses.” said BZE CEO Heidi Lee.
“Examples overseas have shown us that it is entirely possible to increase deployment rates at these levels, aligning government and finance with businesses that are set to scale and deliver.
“Right now, the pressures of the cost of living make it more important than ever that we prepare our homes and businesses to be powered by affordable and reliable renewable energy.
“We can put ourselves in place now to avoid future price shocks and buy Australian Made – supporting Australian workers and communities at a time when they need it most.
“Integration of energy and process automation enables manufacturers to drive sustainability at the world’s most energy-intensive sites, while software connects assets across the lifecycle, providing insight single in real time.
In industry, automation and digital tools are optimizing the processes, productivity, performance and energy consumption needed to deliver machinery, semiconductor chips or even a modest milk carton. In cities, buildings and infrastructure, IoT-enabled management systems can significantly reduce energy consumption and waste in real time. Importantly, the best driver for energy efficiency and decarbonization is electrification, which is also the easiest route to fast and efficient results,” said Gareth O’Reilly, president of the Pacific region of Schneider Electric.
“We have been manufacturing heat pumps in Australia for 18 years, and we need to install a heat pump in every home to help Australian families lower their bills” said Chris Taylor, managing director of Reclaim Energy, which won the prestigious Future Energy Industry Leader Award at the Victorian Premier’s Sustainability Awards, 2022.
“Custom Denning is investing in the future of mobility with the development of all-new electric buses designed, manufactured and assembled in Australia. We see significant opportunities in the clean energy sector and we will continue to innovate to drive the growth of zero emissions transportation. Rapid deployment will allow us to realize opportunities sooner and reduce emissions faster. » said Scott Dunn, managing director of electric bus manufacturer, Custom Denning.

I worked for a large non-for-profit system “papering” physician employment, loans, and other physician alignment strategies. I regarded compliance as a necessary evil.
It’s actually smart to conduct your organization’s business within in the bounds of federal regulations. The Department of Justice (DOJ) hasn’t taken 2018 off and when they hit an organization, the fine tends to go big. And, now it’s even personal – healthcare executives are being given prison time. As one Ludi client has stated, “Orange is not my color.”
The DOJ does not mess around when it comes to compliance. And you shouldn’t either.
Does your system embrace compliance standards? Does your compliance officer have a seat at the table when physician arrangements are being constructed and operationalized? These folks are not simply to be ignored or steered around; they offer sound business insight to help the health system ensure it is acting legally within the context of its physician partnerships.
First, find your physician arrangements. Do you know where they are? Who owns them? I assure you these first two questions will keep a whole staff busy for several weeks in order to wrap their arms around the paper deals floating between a hospital campus and its physician partners.
Does your physician partner KNOW they have an agreement with you? I know this sounds a bit “smart aleck-y” but at Ludi, some of our clients have run into this problem – a few of their physician partners weren’t aware that a physician administrative role was part of their employment compensation and that they had specific duties that must be carried out to be paid as part of that agreement.
Have you reviewed your physician administrative agreements? At Ludi, we have noticed an uptick in the “evergreen” which means the contract continues to roll. At the outset, this may look like a time saving device. But, it can lead to overall system complacency and a lack of management of what the agreement is, who is it with, does it meet Fair Market Value (FMV), and in determining if the relationship has gone stale?
Audit – I hate this word with a passion, as it’s a downer and invokes chills, but if you are living and breathing compliance as a tenant of good business, you gotta audit your physician agreements. Has your legal and compliance team set a template that is followed? Did you over pay your physician partner? What’s the process of rectifying physician administrative payments? Are the duties compensable? Do you have a process for FMV? What is the process for physician documentation that supports the physician payment for the work?
There are legal and possibly personal ramifications for ignoring compliance standards for physician partnerships. Your health system, board, physicians, and family really do not need the additional burden and stress of an OIG investigation. Stay in the bounds of compliance because orange is not your color.

Mike and Helen Faulkner have been farming and ranching their whole lives—on a fourth-generation farm in Gooding, Idaho. Seeing an opportunity in the market in 1992 the couple started a harvest chopping business that quickly grew to become one of the largest in the area.
In 2019, after 26 years in the business, Mike and Helen decided to slow down so they could travel more. And, after years of buying with Ritchie Bros., approached the company with the opportunity to sell their 60-piece fleet.
“We knew Ritchie Bros. could market our equipment to the world, which was important because our local market isn’t very strong right now,” said Michael Faulkner. “We still run sheep and cattle on our farm so didn’t want a whole bunch of people on our property for a live auction so decided to sell through Ritchie Bros.’ weekly featured IronPlanet auction.”
The Faulkner’s equipment, which featured a mix of farm equipment and trucks, was listed and sold in the March 27, 2019 IronPlanet auction.
“We were impressed with the professionalism of all the people we worked with at Ritchie Bros,” said Helen Faulkner. “They invested a lot of time in getting our inventory ready for auction day. Our salesman Abe Roessler was especially great to work with—he was knowledgeable, pleasant, and quick to follow-up on any items needing attention.”
Sales highlights in the auction included a 2013 Claas Jaguar 980 self-propelled forage harvester for US$90,000; a 2016 Ovbo 334 triple-merger rake for US$85,000; a 2014 New Holland T7.260 4WD tractor sold for US$73,000; and a 2016 John Deere W235R swather/windrower sold for US$72,000.
“We were impressed with the number of views and bidders the auction attracted,” said Mike. “And very pleased with the results, which ended up $70,000 over our target amount! Overall, we couldn't have asked for a better experience.”

Birth control debate comes to Idaho
Proposed legislation would allow employers to refuse insurance coverage of contraceptivesBOISE — The national debate on mandatory birth control coverage is heating up in Idaho. On Thursday, Rep. Carlos Bilbao, R-Emmett, presented legislation to exempt Gem State insurers from a federal requirement to provide coverage for contraceptives, sterilization and abortion-inducing drugs. The bill mirrors a similar federal act drafted in protest of the 2010 Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act provision requiring insurance companies to cover contraceptives. The bill would allow employers and insurers to opt out of covering contraceptives and sterilization, and comes in response to the federal health care overhaul. Bilbao, a retired quality manager for Boeing Co., cited his religious convictions as the major reason he drafted the legislation. “The (U.S. Department of Health and Human Services) mandate for contraception and sterilization coverage is an attack on my rights of conscience,” Bilbao said, adding his bill doesn’t outlaw abortion or birth control, just the provision that requires employees and insurance companies provide coverage. If passed, an emergency clause would make the law effective immediately. Rep. John Rusche, DLewiston, questioned Bilbao’s argument. “If a service is available under law but refused by an employer … due to his morals or religion, doesn’t that violate the employee’s right to have that service available?” he asked. Hannah Brass, legislative director for Planned Parenthood of Idaho, said many women use contraceptives for reasons other than family planning. Birth control can be used to treat endometriosis, painful menstrual cramps and other conditions, she said. Brass also said that the religious beliefs of an employer shouldn’t dictate an employee’s choice to use contraception. In the same meeting, Bilbao introduced a proposal for the Legislature to encourage Congress to pass the Respect for Rights of Conscience Act, an amendment to the federal health care reform which would remove the birth control coverage mandate. Monica Hopkins of the American Civil Liberties Union of Idaho objected to the proposal, arguing that the Respect for Rights of Conscience Act is so broad that employers could strip away coverage for any medical procedure, not just contraceptives. She said under the proposed federal law, Scientologists could deny their employees coverage for anti-depressants. Because the committee’s agenda wasn’t posted online the day before Thursday’s meeting, as is customary, Chairwoman Janice McGeachin, R-Idaho Falls, postponed a vote on the bill until Monday. The committee will take more testimony then, Mc-Geachin said.

Experts believe that cooking is good for mental health. It is one more reason why to cook at home more often and with more variety.
The benefits of cooking at home
Yes, the editorial board advocates that, if possible, everyone loves to cook or at least do it often and with pleasure. Because there are really many benefits to this process. And not just the proverbial savings, although let’s not lie: buy, say, a nice pork tenderloin and bake it in the oven will be cheaper than ordering dinner for a large family at a restaurant or caterer. Several times over.
It must be said that it’s not just our endless love of gastronomy that speaks for us, but also actual scientific research. One was published in 2020 in the journal Public Health Nutrition. The work is based on a survey of 8,000 American adults. Those volunteers who cooked and dined at home seven nights a week had higher scores on the healthy eating index than those who did it sporadically.
Indeed, ordering cooked food is quite difficult to control. Only self-cooked meals provide complete control over the amount of salt, spices, fat and carbohydrates, as well as allergens. In short, total benefits. However, it is also important to note that recent scientific research also suggests a positive effect of cooking on our mental health.
How cooking affects mental health
A positive link is described in a 2022 study, which can be found in the journal Frontiers in Nutrition. Participants in the survey were people who know how to cook and attend courses to improve their skills. Most admitted that learning and the process of cooking itself boosts mood and confidence.
A total of 650 Australians took part in the study. They were asked to participate in a seven-day gastronomy course, covering food choices, basic techniques and how to prepare simple and healthy meals.
This is not the only scientific work on the link between self-cooking and psychological well-being. Some other studies have proved the following:
- Mental health problems are often associated with poor eating habits and low food literacy.
- That said, participants in some of the research surveys noted that confidence in the kitchen helped them to enjoy their meals more and to feel better overall.
- A sense of relaxation and confidence is not only induced by gastronomic practice alone, but also by taking part in group workshops. Cooking in company, for themselves and others, and the team spirit that prevailed helped many respondents to cheer up.

Fat grafting is a gentle hand-harvesting method, purification process, and microdroplet injection technique has shown to restore volume in areas of the face including eyes, cheeks and jaw line. The procedure involves taking small amounts of fat from one area of your body as opposed to a foreign, synthetic material and injecting it to the areas that have lost volume due to aging.
Because it is the patient’s own tissue, the results are long lasting, sometimes permanent and easily repeated if needed.
This can be done as an isolated procedure or more commonly in conjunctions with other facial rejuvenation procedures.

GORDON Brown and David Cameron have set out their stall as they try to grab power with a deal with the Liberal Democrats.
Brown said he is prepared to talk to any of the party leaders after the election ended in a hung parliament.
The Prime Minister, speaking in Downing Street, said it was time to negotiate for the sake of the country.
He said: "What we have seen are no ordinary election results. We find ourselves in a position unknown to this generation of political leaders."
David Cameron and Nick Clegg "should clearly be entitled to take as much time as they see necessary" to consider their positions, he added.
Brown continues as prime minister as no party gained an absolute majority.
Meanwhile Cameron made a "big, open and comprehensive offer" to the Liberal Democrats.
He said that while they had policy differences there was also common ground.
Cameron said that the "bulk" of the Conservatives' election manifesto would be introduced in any power sharing deal, there were also areas in which the party could compromise in the national interest.

Snooki and The Situation are probably the most recognizable cast members on “Jersey Shore.” So, why are producers at 495 Productions phasing them out?
Blame it on the a a a a a alcohol.
Or, the lack there of. Now that Snooki has a bouffant in the oven and The Sitch is getting his 12-steps on, producers are afraid that the show will suck. TMZ is reporting that producers for “Jersey Shore” are phasing out two of their most popular characters. A show insider told the gossip site that the potentially cleaner lifestyles for Snooki and The Situation would make the show “lose its sex-crazed alcohol-fueled edge.”
Producers will be limiting the amount of screen time they give to the newly sober cast-members, and instead focus their energies on highlighting other members of the JS Cast. Expect new cast members to enter the fold, producers are currently planning to introduce new Juiceheads to the mix.
Have no fear Shore fans, not a modicum of class will be had this season.

This book tells the story of the little house Le Corbusier built 1923 near Vevey on the board of the Lake of Geneva for his mother. Written, photographed, illustrated and designed by Le Corbusier.
Edition originale Girsberger éditeur, Carnet de la recherche patiente n°1, Zurich, 1954
Villa le Lac (designated a World Heritage in 2016) was designed and built by Le Corbusier as a Geneva lakeside home for his parents in 1925. Because of its spare arrangement of spaces, he referred to it as a "dwelling machine". Even today it remains the modern prototype of the "small house", fulfilling all the functions of a residence with minimum floor area. This title follows the original edition in which Le Corbusier documented the history of the building, with photographs, sketches and poetic text.

Welfare recipients can now get benefits for a maximum of four years, effective Oct. 1, after the Michigan Senate approved a bill Wednesday that allows for no exceptions for extending benefits.
The move was cheered by most MLive.com commenters, but two made compelling arguments that welfare isn't as big a drain on the system as many presume.
One was LiveFromDeltaTwp, who argues that the savings will be minimal. Here's the debate:
LiveFromDeltaTwp: The average cash assistance case in Michigan gets $397/ mo.. The average size of a family on cash assistance is 2.75 persons. The 12,600 recipients that will lose their assistance because of this bill is 6% of all the cash assistance recipients. That's about 4000 cases which have even the remote possibility of being multi-generational assistance recipients out of a total state population of almost 10 million. Wow. What a big darn problem this is. And this solution is brought to you by the same people that won't spend 500 million dollars in Canadian money which would bring in 1 billion dollars in matching federal highway funds which our state desperately needs. Our legislators; the best and the brightest working for all of us.
FairVoice: I think you highlighted the biggest problem when it comes to political discourse. You start off discussing the issue of welfare and end up attacking opposition to building a new bridge in Detroit! How is one issue related to the other?
LiveFromDeltaTwp: Its called perspective and politics. Its also called ideology triumphing over reason and facts. Our legislators are going save relatively few dollars at the expense of already impoverished people while at the same same time they are passing up on a great infrastructure deal for Michigan because they're being paid off by ONE business owner.
Another commenter, johnny2x2x says welfare serves its purpose most of the time and took issue with bluesky101's statement that "Welfare breeds welfare. After a few years it becomes a way of life sitting in front of the TV."
Says johnny2x2x: Not true, and the numbers back that up. The majority just use it in a time of crisis and then get off from it, but there are people taking advantage and 4 years is plenty, you have to draw the line somewhere.
Almost all people would rather work and have their dignity. Did you also know that the majority of people receiving welfare payments live in rural areas. It's even harder to find a job in a small town."
He later added:
"The majority of people on Welfare use it as it's intended, but the ones who do take advantage are the target here and that's why this is a good thing.
"Did you know?:
1% of the federal budget is devoted to welfare or public assistance for the poor.
12 % of the federal budget is devoted to welfare for the middle class and wealthy in the form of tax credits, no interest mortgages, home investment incentives."

A Nigerian physician testified in court that he lied about a kidney donor because he was "desperate" for his own procedure to proceed.
The 51-year-old doctor Obinna Obeta is charged with taking part in an international criminal conspiracy in a scheme to traffic organs.
The Old Bailey learned that in 2021, Dr. Obeta traveled with a donor from Nigeria whom he misidentified as his cousin.
He denies violating anti-slavery laws.
Ike Ekweremadu, a former Nigerian politician, is accused of bringing a man to the UK so that he could donate a kidney to his daughter Sonia.
To arrange or facilitate the young man's travel to Britain with the intention of utilizing him in May 2022, Mr. Ekweremadu, his wife Beatrice, 56, and daughter Sonia, 25, deny conspiring.
Dr. Obeta is charged with being a part of the scheme.
On Monday, the court heard testimony about how Dr. Obeta underwent a successful kidney transplant in the UK in 2021 with a donor who traveled from Nigeria and was reportedly his cousin.
Dr. Obeta responded that the man was not his cousin when questioned by Sally Howes KC, his defense attorney.
Not by blood, I assure you. Dr. Obeta said, "I want to apologize for that.
He continued, "At that point I was really desperate to survive.
Dr. Obeta responded, "I'm not proud of that," when asked if he acknowledged that calling him a cousin was a lie. ".
Dr. Obeta testified in court that he maintained contact with the donor after the operation but denied having offered the man any payment or other form of reward for his kidney.
At this point, Dr. Obeta said, "He was more like my son.".
The court was informed that Dr. Obeta had gotten in touch with his donor following the operation to see if he could identify any additional potential donors.
Others came to mind as well. Dr. Obeta stated that the task was not simple.
He testified before the court that while some donors might not have the right kidneys, he needed to know their motivations.
The Ekweremadu family, who needed a kidney for their daughter Sonia, has been accused by the prosecution of trying to repeat the procedure Dr. Obeta successfully used with them.
The Old Bailey previously learned that the potential donor, who cannot be named for legal reasons, fled after Royal Free Hospital medical staff determined he was not a good candidate.
Another street vendor is allegedly recruited by Dr. Obeta at that point to serve as a potential donor for Sonia Ekweremadu.
The Modern Slavery Act accusation is refuted by each of the three defendants.
The trial keeps going.
