Yakovlev Yak-9 versions
By Michal Sekula
Updated on April 20, 2020
Here is a brief description of the important variants of Yakovlev’s fighter during WWII. More about Yak-9 family in English at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yakovlev_Yak-9 and in Russian with line drawings, photos etc. at http://www.airfield.narod.ru/yak/yak-9/yak-9.html and https://coollib.com/b/261705/read.
Yak-9 was a development of the robust and successful late Yak-7B with the M-105PF engine and lowered rear fuselage decking and all-around vision canopy. It was armed with 1 × 20 mm ShVAK cannon firing through the propeller spinner and 1 × 12,7 mm UBS machine gun. Yak-9 had 2 fuel tanks with total capacity of 320 kg of fuel, two fuel hatches on the upper wing for filling the tanks. One tank and one filling hatch per one wing. Yak-9 arrived to Soviet fighter aviation regiments at the Stalingrad Front in December 1942. Yak-9 was produced from October 1942 to August 1943, totally 459 planes were made.
Yak-9D was long-range version of Yak-9, fuel capacity increased from 320 kg to 420 kg in 4 fuel tanks (2 per each wing) giving a maximum range of 1400 km (870 mi). Combat usefulness at full range was limited by lack of radio navigation equipment, and number of aircrafts were used as short-range fighters with fuel carried only in inner wing tanks while external fuel tanks (e.g. fuel tanks closer to the wing tips) usually were not used. Mechanics simply sealed their filler neck. It means that visible were always the fuel hatches of the inner tanks while the fuel hatches of the outer tanks were sometime visible, sometime sealed. Yak-9/-9D/-9B had 20mm motor cannon with internal cartridge shell accumulation and 12,7mm cowling machine gun with external shell ejection through the wing root. Yak-9D was produced from March 1943 to June 1946, totally 3058 planes were made.
Yak-9B fighter-bomber was a modification of the serial Yak-9D. Four bomb compartments were behind the cockpit, arranged in pairs one after another in the form of tubes for hanging four high explosive bombs FAB-100 or four cartridges with anti-tank PTAB bombs weighing 1.5 kg, 32 bombs in each cartridge. The conversion of the Yak-9D into a fighter-bomber was completed on March 20, 1944. State tests took place from March to August 1944. Totally 109 planes were produced.
Yak-9DD was a modification of Yak-9D or Yak-9T. It had installed 8 main
and one expendable fuel tank (total 630 kg of the fuel). The panel covers are
fitted under the fuel tanks, 6 additional hatches are cut in the upper wings.
Yak-9DD was produced from May 1944 to September 1944, totally 399 planes were
Yak-9T was a modification of the serial of Yak-9 armed with more powerfull 37 mm cannon with 30 rounds firing through the propeller spinner instead of the 20 mm ShVAK. Due to dimensions and weight of the gun the whole cockpit was moved 40 cm back to the tail to compensate the heavier nose. Both 37mm motor cannon and 12,7mm cowling machine gun had internal cartridge shell accumulation, e.g. no ejection hatch on the wing root as on the Yak-9/-9D. Initially poor quality led to multiple oil and coolant leaks from cannon recoil. Recoil and limited supply of ammunition required accurate aiming and two-three round bursts. Yak-9T was widely used against enemy shipping on the Black Sea and against tanks (the cannon could penetrate up to 30 mm armor from 500 m), but it was also successful against aircraft with a single cannon hit usually sufficient to tear apart the target. Yak-9T was produced from March 1943 to June 1945, totally 2748 planes were made.
Yak-9M was a modification of the serial Yak-9D and had a fuselage made by the
type of Yak-9T. The modification was carried out in order to unify the design
of the fuselage and using them depending on the needs for the production of
either Yak-9T or Yak-9D. In addition, the changes were made on the wing, cockpit,
dust filter at the engine inlet was installed, the antenna was shortened, etc.
Yak-9M was produced from May 1944 to June 1945, totally 4239 planes were made.
Yak-9K was Yak-9T modified with a 45 mm cannon NS-45 with 29 rounds and
a distinctive muzzle brake to deal with the massive recoil. Both 45 mm motor
cannon and 12,7mm cowling machine gun had internal cartridge shell accumulation,
e.g. no ejection hatch on the wing root as on the Yak-9/-9D. Firing the cannon
at speeds below 350 km/h (220 mph) caused dramatic loss of control
and tossed the pilot back and forth in the cockpit; however, accurate shooting
was possible at higher speeds and in 2–3 round bursts. The recoil also
caused numerous oil and coolant leaks. The heavy cannon installation degraded
performance, even more so at high altitudes, sufficiently to relegating the
Yak-9K to be used as a heavy fighter and resulting in the need for a fighter
escort of Yak-3s. The Yak-9K saw only limited use due to unreliability of the
NS-45, airframe performance issues caused by both the NS-45 and larger fuel
tanks used on the Yak-9K, as well as a reduction of bombers used by the Germans.
Only 53 planes were produced.
Yak-9U equipped with Klimov VK-107A engine (1650 hp) was definitive Yak-9 variant. It was armed with the 20 mm ShVAK cannon firing through proppeller spinner and two 12,7 mm USB machine guns. The prototype's top speed of 700 km/h (435 mph) at 5,600 m (18,370 ft) was faster than any other production fighter aircraft in the world at the time, other than the P-51B that could reach up to 441 mph on military power. However, engine VK-107A was problematic, prone to overheating, oil leaks, loss of engine pressure during climbs etc., so the first production batches of Yak-9U starting in April 1944 were powered by the reliable M-105 PF-3 engine. The next drawback of the VK-107A engine was its small engine life - only 25 hours. In practice it was forbidden to use combat regime, since then the engines would have to be changed after two or three sorties. Only Yak-9U planes produced in the spring and summer of 1945 had flight characteristics that practically coincided with those obtained during the tests – the top speed 672 km/h at an altitude of 5000 m. This was the result of increased production quality and improved aerodynamics. Yak-9U serial version with the engine VK-107A was produced between April 1944 and August 1945, totally 3921 planes were made.

BACKGROUND:We aimed to evaluate anxiety among children with cystic fibrosis (CF) and their mothers related to the COVID-19 pandemic. METHODS:A total of 45 patients with CF and their mothers were enrolled in the study together with 90 age-matched healthy children and their mothers as a control group. The State and Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) was administered by teleconference with children aged 13 to 18 years old and their mothers. The STAI for children was administered with children aged 9 to 12 years. Results were compared with age-matched healthy children and their mothers. The relationship between anxiety scores of children with CF and their mothers was evaluated by comparing with clinical data of children with CF. At the conclusion of the teleconference, mothers were asked whether their anxiety had changed as a result of the interview. RESULTS:It was found that healthy children aged 13 to 18 years had higher state anxiety scores than age-matched children with CF. Mothers of children with CF had higher trait anxiety scores, especially those of children aged 0 to 12 years, than mothers of healthy children (P < .05). For mothers of children with CF, state anxiety scores were higher among those whose children had chronic Pseudomonas infection (P < .05). Most mothers of children with CF stated that their anxiety decreased following the interview. CONCLUSION:The COVID-19 pandemic may increase anxiety among mothers of children with CF as well those with healthy children. However, COVID-19 had no effect on the anxiety of children with CF. Informing parents of children with CF about COVID-19 by teleconference may decrease anxiety.
背景: 我们旨在评估囊性纤维化 (CF) 患儿及其母亲与新型冠状病毒肺炎大流行相关的焦虑。 方法: 共纳入45例CF患者及其母亲，90例年龄相匹配的健康儿童及其母亲作为对照组。状态和特质焦虑量表 (STAI) 通过电话会议与13至18岁的儿童及其母亲进行管理。对9至12岁的儿童给予儿童STAI。结果与年龄匹配的健康儿童及其母亲进行比较。通过与CF患儿的临床资料比较，评价CF患儿的焦虑评分与其母亲的关系。在电话会议结束时，母亲们被问及他们的焦虑是否因为采访而改变了。 结果: 发现13 ~ 18岁健康儿童的状态焦虑得分高于年龄匹配的CF儿童。CF儿童母亲的特质焦虑得分高于健康儿童母亲，尤其是0 ~ 12岁儿童的特质焦虑得分 (p <.05)。对于患有CF的儿童的母亲，那些患有慢性假单胞菌感染的儿童的状态焦虑评分更高 (p <.05)。大多数患有CF的孩子的母亲表示，他们的焦虑在采访后减少了。 结论: 新型冠状病毒肺炎大流行可能会增加CF患儿母亲和健康儿童母亲的焦虑情绪。然而，新型冠状病毒肺炎对CF患儿的焦虑没有影响。通过电话会议告知CF患儿的父母新型冠状病毒肺炎可以减轻焦虑。
METHODS::Background: Early onset sepsis (EOS) is potentially life-threatening problem especially in preterm. EOS diagnosis is challenging due to its non-specific signs and laboratory tests. Mean platelet volume (MPV) has been used as predictor of many inflammatory diseases.Objectives: To assess the correlation between serial MPV measurement and EOS occurrence in preterm infants and to determine MPV effectiveness in combination with C reactive protein (CRP) to diagnose EOS and mortality prediction.Methods: The study was carried out on 95 preterm infants with antenatal risk factor for EOS. Blood samples were taken for complete blood count (CBC) including MPV evaluated at birth (cord blood) and at 72 h of life. CRP analyzed on days 1 and 3, subsequently patients were identified in two groups: sepsis (n = 28) and no-sepsis (n = 67).Results: MPV was significantly higher on both day 1 (10.23 ± 0.92) fl and day 3 (10.77 ± 1.16) fL in the sepsis group compared with no-sepsis (8.11 ± 0.29) fl and (8.53 ± 0.42) fl, respectively. MPV of 8.6 fL was identified as cut off value in patients probably resulting in sepsis with a sensitivity of 97.14% and a specificity of 100%. MPV of 10.4 fl was determined as cut off value in patients possibly resulting in death with a sensitivity of 70% and a specificity of 82.5%. The combination of both MPV and CRP on day 1 resulted in improving performance of MPV with higher negative predictive value (93.1%) and higher sensitivity (80%).Conclusion: High cord blood and day 3 MPV can be used as surrogate marker for prediction of EOS and associated mortality in preterm neonates.
METHODS::Objective: This study used near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) to detect the pulmonary regional oxygen saturation (rSO2) of premature infants. The oxygenation state of the lung tissue was also evaluated, which provided preliminary evidence regarding the application of NIRS in oxygen therapy for premature infants.Methods: NIRS was used to measure the pulmonary rSO2 of 26 premature infants (gestational age <32 weeks). The correlations between pulmonary rSO2 and the arterial partial pressure of oxygen (PaO2), arterial oxygen saturation (SaO2), and pulse oxygen saturation (SpO2) were analyzed. The diagnostic value of NIRS was evaluated via both Pearson's correlation and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analyses.Results: Pulmonary rSO2 was positively correlated with both PO2 and SaO2; the linear correlation coefficients (r) were 0.544 (p = .004) and 0.515 (p = .007), respectively. No significant correlation was found between rSO2 and SpO2 (p = .098). SpO2 was positively correlated with PO2 (r = 0.402, p = .042) and SaO2 (r = 0.625, p = .001). NIRS could be used to predict hypoxemia (area under the curve [AUC] = 0.843; Youden's index =0.654) when the pulmonary rSO2 was 62.39%, the sensitivity was 88.9%, and the specificity was 23.5% (p = .005) as well as predict hyperoxemia (AUC = 0.775; Youden's index = 0.65) when the pulmonary rSO2 was 61.99%, the sensitivity was 100%, and the specificity was 35% (p = .045). SpO2 predicted hypoxemia (AUC = 0.784, p = .019) but not hyperoxemia (AUC = 0.7, p = .144).Conclusion: NIRS objectively reflects the changes in oxygenation in the lung tissue. This study provides evidence for the clinical application of NIRS.
METHODS::The global incidence of diabetes mellitus, including diabetes in pregnant women, is on the rise. Diabetes mellitus in a pregnant woman jeopardizes not only maternal health but can also have significant implications on the child to be born. Therefore, timely diagnosis and strict glycemic control are of utmost importance in achieving a safe outcome for both the mother and fetus. The treating physician should be aware of the complications that can arise due to poor glycemic control during pregnancy. The objective of this article is to discuss the key concerns in a neonate born to diabetic mother, the underlying pathogenesis, and the screening schedule during pregnancy.

PITTSBURGH - Pittsburgh police have arrested and charged a man after they said he shot at dogs that were being walked by a woman in the Garfield section of Pittsburgh.
Investigators said it happened when officers were patrolling North Aiken Avenue and Rosetta Street just before 10 p.m. Monday.
Police said they saw Dakota Hicks walking on one side of the street and a woman walking with her dogs on the other. One of the dogs wasn’t on a leash at the time, police said.
Police said Hicks pulled out a gun from his waistband and fired one time toward the dogs which were right in front of the woman.
Pittsburgh Police were coincidentally patrolling Rosetta and N. Aiken when they allegedly saw the man shoot at the dog/owner just before 10 last night. They immediately jumped out and arrested him. @WPXI pic.twitter.com/krUIqmxDia— Mike Holden (@WPXIMikeHolden) February 12, 2019
Officers got out of their cars and confronted him. They saw Hicks throw his gun into a grassy area before he was arrested.
The woman and her dogs were not hit by the gunfire.
“It makes me feel like I don’t even want to come out the house. I wish I could work at home. In the home. Because that is too scary too scary,” resident Shelly Smedley said.
Police are not sure why he shot toward the woman and her dogs.
Hicks is in the Allegheny County Jail.

I have been blowing my nose because of being so conjested. This morning I have been aware of reduced hearing and fullness in my left ear (staplectomy). Is it possible that the piston has slipped or am I just experiencing inflammation in the ear due to the cold.
Can anyone answer this question? Has anyone come down with a cold after staple surgery?

Britain’s lockdown love affair with takeaway food deliveries saw a 42% increase in orders during the pandemic.
And that rise in takeaway food orders shows no sign of reducing, even though many restaurants are now open for business.
Business is indeed booming for takeaway food delivery firms – and the reopening of restaurants doesn’t look likely to halt that growth any time soon.
Foodhub, one of the UK’s leading food ordering apps, has revealed that despite the reopening of outdoor restaurant hospitality in April, more Brits than ever are tucking into a regular takeaway treat, compared to pre-lockdown last year.
Foodhub spokesman, Ardian Mula, said: “Over the past 12 months, ordering a takeaway meal rather than choosing to cook at home, has become something of a national past-time. Even with the reopening of restaurants, that doesn’t look set to change, as even though families can now go out to eat, the volume of takeaway orders is not diminishing.
“Here at Foodhub, our customers have enjoyed more takeaway meals than ever before. We don’t follow a commission model, so this enables our takeaway partners to offer better prices and deals to our customers, resulting in a cost saving of 15% on most takeaway meals for our customers – unlike with other online food delivery platforms.”
Analysts from Foodhub have discovered that when comparing order volumes in January 2020 (before restrictions), to when the country experienced a complete lockdown in April 2020, there was a 65% increase in takeaway orders across Foodhub’s platform.
The country still wanted food cooked for them and looked to support local restaurants with a takeaway delivery directly to their door.
Many commentators expected a slowdown or reduction in takeaway food delivery orders as lockdown restrictions slowly lifted in the past month and people were able to get out to restaurants again.
In fact, year-on-year, there has been a 42% increase in takeaway orders in April 2021 when compared to April 2020.
Foodhub expects the demand for takeaway food will continue to remain high as the UK comes out of the pandemic and restaurants are able to fully reopen, including inside dining, from June 21st.
So, while Brits have been rejoicing at the easing of lockdown restrictions, a few drinks at the newly reopened pub is still being followed by a takeaway meal ordered from the comfort of their own home afterwards.
Ardian Mula added: “This past year has been a tough time for everyone and we’re so happy to see the reopening of hospitality venues across the country.
“We’re also thrilled that we’ve been able to offer restaurants and cafes the opportunity to join the Foodhub platform to provide takeaway options, offering them a chance to maintain their business even though they had to close their doors.
“We saw a 65% increase in the number of takeaway meals ordered via Foodhub from January 2020 to April 2020 as lockdown first hit. And, subsequently, despite the easing of lockdown, we’ve seen a 42% increase in orders from April 2020 to April 2021. There is no sign that Britain’s love of great takeaway food is at risk of dilution.”
Foodhub currently has over 20,000 restaurant and takeaway partners in the UK and is the only major food ordering app not to charge a service fee for each order. To find out how meals ordered via Foodhub are on average 15% cheaper than other providers, visit www.foodhub.co.uk.

She’s had five #1 singles, sold millions of records, won the Academy of Country Music’s Top Female Vocalist Award and claimed a Country Music Association trophy for her signature song, “Born To Fly.”It’s tough to imagine many accomplishments Sara Evans hasn’t already checked off her bucket list. And yet, with the release of her eighth studio album, Words demonstrates that she’s still willing to leap into the unknown.
Words is the first project on Evans’ own label: Born To Fly Records, appropriately named after that CMA award-winning signature song, which celebrated risk and adventure. The album was an eye-opening experience for Evans as a creative force. “The only thing I had on my mind with this album is just Grammy-level songs and the coolest music that I can find,” she says. “I didn’t really go about it in any other way. I wasn’t catering to any part of the business.”
Her resume continues to grow and now includes 14 Top 20 country hits, ranging from her reassuring first #1 –“No Place That Far,” featuring background vocals by Vince Gill – to the neo-traditional “Suds In The Bucket” to the elegant, spiky pop feel of “Slow Me Down.” Sara Evans is one of country’s iconic modern singers, her music has worked so well on country radio, at concert halls and amphitheaters, and in fans’ personal playlists. And the music she’s made to date is authentically her.
For a woman who always tackled the music her own way, the new album is 100% her own. It’s a big reason that the album is titled Words. The songs generate a number of words –flexible, commanding, sassy, daring, loving, hopeful, resilient – that all embody parts of Evans’inimitable persona. Doing it her way. As a mom. As a record company entrepreneur. And, mostly, as a distinct artist still excited about her unique journey.

A woman has taken to social media to revealed her new born daughter was born with a ‘permanent smile’ and there are only 14 cases of this condition in the entire world.
The woman is now sharing the family’s life journey on TikTok to raise awareness about the rare condition the baby has.
Cristina Vercher, 21, and her husband Blaize Mucha, 20, from Adelaide, Australia, welcomed their daughter Ayla Summer Mucha in December 2021.
During the C-section birth they were given the shock news that her mouth had not formed as ‘normal’.
When doctors handed Ayla Summer Mucha to her parents, they noticed that she had a large oral opening, which initially baffled doctors as it had not been picked up on her ultrasound scans.
The baby, had developed bilateral macrostomia, a rare condition where the corners of the mouth don’t fuse together during pregnancy.
According to a study from 2007, only 14 cases of the condition have been reported in medical literature. The condition is so rare that this was the first time doctors at the Flinder’s Medical Centre had seen such a case.
‘A caesarean is an uncomfortable experience as it is,’ Cristina Vercher, the mum told Jam Press.
‘Therefore, I was already in an overwhelmed state. As you would know during the surgery the doctors will show you the baby once it has been removed from the uterus.
‘At the time it was a very obvious formation as Ayla was so tiny. We were instantly worried. Blaize and I were not aware of this condition nor had I ever met someone born with a macrostomia. So it came as a huge shock.’
‘This made the experience all the more worrying as it took several hours for a doctor to give us an answer,’ Christina said.
‘With this came more difficulties as the hospital had little knowledge or support for such a rare condition. All I could think about as a mother was where I went wrong, especially when I had been so pedantic throughout my entire pregnancy.
‘Yet her father and I had been reassured by multiple doctors after days of genetic testing and scans that this condition was entirely out of our control and was of no fault of our own.’
Infants with the condition can struggle with more functional tasks like latching and suckling.
Patients with Alya’s condition are advised to have surgery to help ensure they have a functioning mouth as they grow older.
‘We are yet to receive the exact specifications of the surgery, yet we know this involves a skin closure that results in minimal scarring,’ The mum said.
‘The challenges we will face post surgery are worrying as a couple.’
On TikTok, a clip of the mum dressing her daughter has received over 46 million views, with users flooding the comments section with support.
Speaking about her experience of sharing her family’s life on social media, Cristina added: ‘I would advise nothing more than to be kind and accepting of all people.
‘As you would hope people paid the same respect to your or your children if such events were to occur in your life.
‘Conditions such as this could happen to anyone at any time. Social media is a divided place. You can’t control the personalities of other people unfortunately.
‘Yet Blaize and I have received just as much love and support as negative comments.
‘I am thankful we left the video posted as I have spoken to a number of mothers going through similar experiences.
‘We will not stop sharing our experiences and favourite memories as we are so proud.’


I try to be fair to Dick Cheney, whose character has been distorted beyond all recognition by his partisan foes. Sunday, however, he was apparently attempting to validate all the most terrible things anyone has said about him, as well as providing future students of ethics real life examples of ethical fallacies.
The one quoted above is the pip: so much for the jurisprudential principle that “It is better that ten guilty persons escape, than that one innocent suffer.” Chuck Todd reminded Cheney that 25% of those detained were apparently innocent. The Cheney variation: “It is OK if some innocent persons are unjustly punished as long as the bad guys get what they deserve.”
It is hard to pick the most unethical assertion, however; there are so many horrible statements to choose from. Such as: Continue reading →
How did we end up discussing torture on Christmas Eve?
Sorry about that.
Here is a stimulating comment by Zoebrain in the “Zero Dark Thirty” torture thread. I’m especially fond of it, because as theoretical and probably impossible as her resolution would be in practice, it neatly addresses the central problem conflict in the “torture is an absolute wrong but you might have to use it to save the world” scenarios, like the familiar “ticking bomb” hypothetical. In her analysis. one violates the absolute rule, but accepts a proportional penalty for doing so.
I advocate a similar approach in legal ethics in situations where a lawyer decides as a matter of personal conscience that he or she must violate core legal ethics values, like keeping the confidences of a client, in furtherance of a higher objective not recognized be the Rules of Professional Conduct, such as keeping a serial killer from going free.
The last time my friend “Ethics Bob” Stone blogged about ethics, it was way back in August, and he was writing about some guy named “Romney.” Now he’s back on the job, thank goodness, with a comeback post titled “Zero Dark Thirty: Did torture lead us to Osama bin Laden?”. And he’s ticking me off.
“Zero Dark Thirty” is Hollywood’s treatment of the search, apprehension and execution of Osama Bin Laden. The film suggest that methods of torture were employed by the CIA to uncover crucial intelligence that led to the terrorist mastermind’s demise. Torture opponents, including some U.S. Senators, are alarmed by this, and disputing the film’s account. (Imagine that: a movie that misrepresents history!) Meanwhile, conservatives, neocons, Bush administration bitter-enders, talk radio hosts and admirers of Dr. Fu Manchu and James Bond villains are citing the film as confirmation that they were right all along: torture is a wonderful thing.
I am puzzled that Bob got in the middle of this debate as an ethicist. “It worked!” and “It came out all right in the end!” are not valid ethical arguments or justifications. The first is an embrace of a pure “the ends justify the means” rationale, a favorite tool of Auric Goldfinger and Dr. No. The other is consequentialism. When ethicists and principled opponents of torture allow the issue to be adjudicated on this basis, they are surrendering their principles at the outset. “Torture doesn’t work” is a pragmatic argument, not an ethical one. If the societal consensus regarding torture is going to be determined by how much we can benefit by returning to the rack and wheel, then ethical considerations have already been jettisoned.

Today’s morning headlines were full of violence in Syria, Bahrain, Libya, and the threat of new conflict in Egypt, as popular uprisings against entrenched dictatorships continue to grow. As the U.S. tries to somehow avoid a lead role in the international intervention in Libya, the question looms regarding its responsibility to other nations whose people yearn to be free—or at least freer. As important as what America ultimately decides to do will be for the futures of these nations, the U.S. economy, and foreign relations, something far more important is at stake. These difficult choices once again challenge the United States to affirm or reject its ideals, the very essence of what has made America what it is.
I haven’t seen the remake of “True Grit,” but I know I will, and like many other fans of the original 1969 version, I’m trying to conquer my biases. The latest effort by the usually brilliant Coen brothers creates ethical conflicts for me, and I am hoping I can resolve them right now. Can I be fair to their work, while being loyal to a film that is important to me for many reasons?
The original, 1969 “True Grit” won John Wayne his only Oscar for his self-mocking portrayal of fat, seedy law man Rooster Cogburn,
who is hired by a young girl to track down her father’s murderer. I love the film; I saw it on the big screen nine times, in fact. Remaking it with anyone else in the starring role feels like an insult, somehow, as if the Duke’s version was somehow inadequate.
Intellectually, I know that’s nonsense. Artists have a right to revisit classic stories and put their personal stamp on them, and they should be encouraged to do it. Every new version of a good story, if done well, will discover some unmined treasure in the material. Why discourage the exploration? Continue reading →
George W. Bush, currently hawking his memoirs, has admitted in the new book and in interviews about it that yes indeed, he approved waterboarding of terrorist suspects, believed it was legal, and moreover offers evidence that the information thus acquired saved American lives. W’s opinion on these matter are hardly a surprise, but they have re-energized the defenders of the Administration’s policies of “enhanced interrogation” and rendition of apprehended terror suspects to foreign locales where the interrogation techniques were “enhanced” even more.
“NOW do you agree with the policy?” they ask, as if the answer was obvious. “The information prevented a horrific terrorist attack on Heathrow Airport (in England). See? See?”
Let us assume, just to simplify things, that everything is as President Bush represents. Waterboarding was, by some legitimate analysis, legal. The information saved American lives and prevented terrorist attacks. Do these facts mean that the use of torture—and waterboarding is torture, whether one defines it as such or not—by the United States of America was justified, defensible, and ethical?
No. I don’t think so. I believe that for the United States of America to approve and engage in the use of torture is by definition betrayal of the nation’s core values, and thus threatens its existence as the nation our Founders envisioned as completely as a foreign occupation. I wrote on this topic in 2009…Continue reading →

Nearly 60,000 people with a severe mental illness will share an extra $1.3 billion in funding — the single biggest boost under the National Disability Insurance Scheme. The states and the commonwealth currently spend $450 million a year on community mental health services.
When the NDIS becomes fully operational in July 2016 that will increase to $1.8 billion a year, News Corp Australia can reveal. And hundreds of thousands of people suffering less severe mental problems who currently access government-funded services but don’t qualify for the NDIS are being assured their help will continue. Concern has been mounting about how the NDIS would cover people with a mental illness and whether those with less severe problems would continue to get support outside the NDIS. Assistant Minister for Social Services, Liberal Senator Mitch Fifield, has provided new funding and a series of guarantees on mental health just weeks before 200,000 mentally ill Australians were set to lose $250 million in funding for services that help them live in the community. Up to 4000 mental health workers were at risk of losing their jobs if the funding dried up on June 30, 12 months before the NDIS will be fully rolled out. The developments come as the government is under pressure from peak mental health groups to make public the National Mental Health Commission’s review of mental health services which was handed to the government in December.Minister Fifield will announce on Monday that the government will extend funding for the Personal Helpers Mentors Program (PHaMs) and the Mental Health Respite: Carer Support program Mentors program until 30 June 2016. The funding extension will ensure supports are maintained as the transition to the National Disability Insurance Scheme continues across the country, Mr Fifield said. “The Australian Government is committed to supporting people who are severely impacted by mental illness, as well as those who care for them,” Minister Fifield said. “The extension of these contracts will ensure people living with mental illness and those who care for them can still access these support services.” However, he says the funding arrangements for providers who deliver services under the PHaMs scheme will change as they prepare to operate in an open market under the NDIS. Mental Health Australia chief Frank Quinlan welcomed the funding certainty. “We really look forward to co-designing what mental health services will look like under the NDIS,” he said. “We will be working to ensure people who get services now will continue to get them into the future. We need to intervene early because it saves money in the long term,” he said.

Agriculture experts from The Australian National University (ANU) have teamed up with government bodies and NGOs in sub-Saharan Africa to improve irrigation schemes and boost crop production.
The researchers' work is improving food security, reducing water waste and lifting people out of poverty.
"This simple reboot of irrigation schemes made up of small farms could help stamp out poverty in farming communities around the world," Professor Jamie Pittock, from the ANU Fenner School of Environment and Society, said.
The 'transforming irrigation in southern Africa' project is empowering farmers by giving them the knowledge and tools needed to consistently grow high-yielding and profitable crops while minimising water usage. The research is published in Nature Food.
"Hundreds of millions of dollars have been invested in infrastructure to support irrigation systems and grow crops that return a profit, but unfortunately crop yields in Africa are very low and often not much better than the dry land farms around them," Professor Pittock said.
"Africa has one of the largest populations living in rural areas that depend on agriculture for their livelihoods but sadly irrigation schemes have traditionally been somewhat of a failed sector across the continent.
"Our interventions have been directed at rebooting these failed irrigation schemes so that they do produce food reliably, they are profitable, and they bring people out of poverty."
This system reboot involves providing farmers with simple-to-use tools - developed by CSIRO - to help them measure whether the soil in their fields is wet enough and has sufficient nutrients to grow a high-yielding crop. This empowers the farmers to make their own decisions rather than relying on government help.
This new intervention has proven to be more successful than past government-led methods used to grow crops in which farmers were advised to apply specific amounts of fertiliser to grow crops such as maze or corn.
"What we found was governments weren't helping farmers do a simple cost and profit loss assessment of the crops they were growing, so we have provided the farmers with basic field books to help them calculate what it'll cost to grow a crop and the necessary labour required and figure out how much income they'll get from growing that crop," Professor Pittock said.
Professor Pittock says these simple but effective interventions have proven "revolutionary" because farmers are minimising their water usage.
"Prior to this they were putting too much water on their fields and actually drowning their crops. Knowing how much water they need to grow their crops means the farmers are conserving water and saving up to two days of labour a week, which can instead be spent on other livelihood activities," he said.
"There is also more water available to support other farmers and the rivers.
"Because the farmers are no longer clashing over water, they're starting to work together to share resources and help one another maximise food production in the region. In the process, we're seeing farmers employ those in their community resulting in a much-needed boost to the economy."
While this intervention has been "extremely successful" in helping farmers grow food, Professor Pittock says producing high-yielding crops means nothing if farmers are flooding the market with product and driving down the price of that food so much so that it's not very profitable for them to grow it.
To address this issue, the ANU researchers facilitated conversations between the farmers and buyers to give them insight into the market and inform their farming decisions.
"When the farmers start to have that dialogue with the buyers, they can then work together to negotiate a planting schedule so they're continually producing crops that are in demand," Professor Pittock said.
"Once the farmers know what quality of product the buyers want and expect, all of a sudden they're getting much higher prices for their product.
"We've also introduced the farmers to seed and fertiliser suppliers and since they're now cooperating with one another, the farmers are starting to buy quality inputs in bulk, which is driving down their overheads because they're paying less than what they were when they were buying only for themselves.
"We've since surveyed the farmers we've worked with who've told us that with the extra money they now have, they are buying more nutritious food for their family, investing in healthcare and are paying for their children to have an education.
"These sorts of techniques used to empower farmers with knowledge could make a tremendous difference in terms of supporting more sustainable development and will be critical in helping the poorest members of society in rural areas achieve better livelihoods."

It’s been a few weeks since my last post and that’s because I’ve been in the toddler trenches. My beautiful newly-turned 3 year old, Emerson, has been sick with one virus after another, which, I’m told, is common for children of this age. Only problem is, that means no time to write, and TOO much time to surf the internet for shoes (writing requires some semblance of concentration; the other I can do with Dora blasting in the background). Case in point: 3 unopened boxes from Zappos (destined to all be returned) sitting by my office chair (Well, come to think of it, I’ll most likely keep the Elizabeth & James pair- been dying over them since they hit the stands). So, what, exactly, is the point of this post? you are probably wondering as you drag your mouse to click OFF spiritandsole and onto The Huffington Post...? Allow me to share:
It’s about the dichotomy between what’s important and what’s frivolous. And where the two intersect. And how the later sometimes acts as a numbing cream or boo-boo buddy or chocolate syrup coating for the former—that is, when the former is distressing, painful, anxiety-inducing, and/or any of the trying emotions that come with real-life stressful situations.
I’ve been pondering this discrepancy and how, whenever I get supremely stressed about the “things that matter,” I tend to default my energy towards the things that don’t (Well, at least the things that do not matter quite as much... Because you can’t tell me that a superbly fitting pair of slimming-low-waisted Current/Elliot flares do not matter at all). And I’ve come to a few conclusions about the Everyday Girl’s tendency to shop when stressed:
- IT’S OK. It’s okay to want to distract the brain from situations that are painful. That’s normal. And often times, HEALTHY. It’s called SUBLIMATION. So go ahead girl and channel that negative energy into something creative and positive (even if that means going online and piecing together your dream ensemble from various websites including shopbop, Planet Blue, and Neimans).
- THIS TOO SHALL PASS. And no matter what it is, you will most likely end up looking back at the stressful situation with some level of nostalgia (Um, hello mommies who anguish over sleepless nights with new born babes and then look back when the kid is off to kindergarten, tearing up over how it was just yesterday they were changing the kid’s poopy diapies at 3am).
- PHILANTHROPY works wonders for all involved. Satisfy your deep seated need to shop while giving to others. When things get rough in your life, I know the tendency is to take, but did you ever consider how great it might make you feel to give to others? Case(s) in point:
- TOMS Shoes. Buy a pair, and they donate a pair. If you haven't heard of or seen these yet, please, crawl out of your lady-cave. They're not only a fundamentally phenomenal cause, but are the super trend right now in Summer 2011 fashion.
- Donating to a favorite charity or someone running/walking for a cause (The MS Society is my recipient of choice and I recently donated to the campaigns of two childhood friends walking for this cause. I can assure you, you've never met a girl who gets a greater high off of that Piperlime box arriving at my doorstep, but the thrill of GIVING to this cause surpasses even that. I'd give everything to find a cure).
- Lucky Magazine always lists designers and companies who give proceeds of their sales to charity.
Give yourself a break and know that sometimes, its okay to buy when all you really want to do is cry. Then remember, giving IS getting, so buy for others or rather, GIVE to others, and some of those problems that have been weighing you down, well... they might just take a hike.

Address to the Committee on Application of Standards - 102nd Session of the International Labour Conference
Anna Wolanska, Poland, Workers' Group
CAS, Belarus, Convention 87
Members of the Committee,
Once again the Government of Belarus is asked by the Committee of Experts to clarify the issues related to non-observation of the Convention 87. Again and again is asked to provide information about activities undertaken in this regard. These requests are fully justified as the Experts concluded that no progress has been made by the Government of Belarus towards implementing of the recommendations of the Commission of Inquiry and improving the application of Convention 87 in law and in practice.
With regret I must inform you that in addition to already noted cases of violations of workers' and trade union rights at Granit, Kupalinka, Deltastyle companies, the new cases were reported at: Traktors and Parts Components Company in Bobruisk, Polotsk Fibre Glass, Polotsk wine rafinery, Mozyr Oil Rafinery, and many others.
Despite its denials, the Government continues to apply measures against the independent trade unions in above mentioned companies through different forms of anti-union discrimination: denial to register the independent unions by national and local authorities, harassment and dismissal new union leaders and activists, interference in the union activities, excluding the independent trade unions from collective bargaining process, pressure on members to leave the independent trade unions under the threat of non-renewal their contracts or short-term contract system, denying the right to run meetings and manifestations, prosecuting trade union leaders under criminal pretexts.
Workers and members of the independent trade unions are not only deprived from exercising the right of freedom of association. What's more, the existing legislation is used against them. For example:
Newly set up independent union at Granit Company in Mikashevichi was not able to be registered because the management had refused to provide the legal address on basis of the Decree No 2. Leaders of this union have been dismissed on basis of the provisions of the Labour Code. The claims demanding the reinstatement of these leaders at their workplaces have been rejected by courts of all instances. Also the witness who gave evidences against shop supervisor during hearings in the court has been illegally fired, again on the basis of the Labour Code.
Still existing requirement of legal address and 10 % minimum membership is one of the main obstacles for the independent trade unions to act freely. Reviewing the reports of the Committee of Experts from last years and statements of the Government of Belarus on developments and progress achieved in implementation of the recommendations of Commission of Inquiry I can only conclude that for many years no concrete, effective measures have been taken. In the information provided by the Government to this Committee is nothing new, expcept another declaration of what could be done. We have also heard many times the Government's commitment to social dialogue, but for us these declarations are empty and alone in no way improve the situation of workers and independent trade unions. We expect that the Government's declarations will finally be reflected in concrete actions.
According to the reports of Committee of Experts and ILO, freedom of association cannot be fully exercised in a context in which civil liberties are not respected. Workers are strongly convinced that the Government of Belarus should first of all introduce the system which guarantees civil liberties for all and will respect them. This will translate into the legal guarantees for right of freedom of association and others.
We urge the Government of Belarus to fully and without any delay implement the recommendations of the Commission of Inquiry, not only orally, but through concrete actions.
We will continue international pressure as long as the Government fails to comply with its international obligations, acting against its society, workers and independent trade unions.

A community pharmacy is a healthcare facility responsible for providing pharmaceutical care services to the community
A community pharmacy is a healthcare facility responsible for providing pharmaceutical care services to the community. The WHO guideline defines dispensing as: The review of a prescription and the preparation, packaging, labeling, record keeping and transfer of the prescribed medicine including counseling to a patient, their agent, or another person who is responsible for the administration of the medicine to that patient.
The pharmacist should ensure that the prescription is valid, that the medicine is clinically appropriate for the patient, and that information is provided to ensure safe and appropriate use of the medicine. Good dispensing of medicines is an important component of rational medicine therapy in order to maximize the benefits and minimize the risks to end users. However, dispensing practices in KSA are not to the standard expectations. It is therefore, of utmost importance to follow good dispensing practice guideline that would aid individuals involved in dispensing and improve the quality of pharmaceutical service. Furthermore, the guideline is useful for other health care professionals and training institutions. (Pharmacy board of Australia, 2015)
Consumers’ behavior in purchasing medicine from medical stores is similar to buying food items or general commodities from a grocery store, the professional role of pharmacists is not well established (Bhuvan KC, 2013). Moreover, people consider community pharmacists as chemists or medicine traders. Thus, community pharmacies have become the most favored place for those seeking healthcare for general ailments (Gyawali S, 2014)(Miller R,2016) Furthermore, consultation is easier and cheaper (Hadi MA, 2016).
Good Dispensing Practice ensures that the right medicines of desired quality are delivered correctly to the right patient with the right dose, strength, frequency, dosage form and quantity, together with clear instructions, both written – verbal and with appropriate packaging suitable for maintaining the quality and efficacy of the medicine. A safe, clean and organized working environment provides the basis for good dispensing practice. The dispensing environment includes:
• Qualified / trained staff
• Appropriate physical surroundings
• Adequate shelving and storage areas Proper work surfaces
• Suitable equipment
• Necessary packaging materials
Responsibility for the accuracy and quality of the medicines supplied lies on the persons overseeing the dispensing process. It is important that the staff dispensing medicines are trained and equipped with the technical knowledge and the skills necessary to dispense the range of medicines prescribed and to communicate effectively with patients/ caregivers. (Malasya pharmaceutical services, 2016)


Todd Price reports that Dan Causgrove, who left Seaworthy in October after two years, will serve as executive chef of French Quarter brasserie Justine. Causgrove previously worked for Devillier at La Petite Grocery for five years as sous chef before a brief stint at the now-shuttered LGD restaurant Dijon and three years as chef de cuisine at Windsor Court’s Grill Room.
The restaurant, opening in a historic building at 225 Chartres Street, is the highly-anticipated third restaurant for Devillier and wife and business partner Mia Freiberger-Devillier. They also own La Petite Grocery, which Eater calls one of the best restaurants in the country, and Balise.
According to Price, Causgrove and Devillier talked about opening a brasserie serving traditional dishes like French onion soup, steak tartare and steak frites during their time together at La Petite. Their years-in-the-making creation comes to fruition in early January.
