About 70% population of the India is directly dependent on agriculture, also agriculture is the main component for most of the state economies in India. The Punjab region is suited for wheat-growing.

IRDAI extends crop insurance solvency margin exemption
Insurance regulator IRDAI is extending the exemption deadline related to solvency margin requirement for crop insurance, estimated to free up around Rs 1,400 crore for general insurers.
From 2017-18, the period of admissibility of premium payable from Government for solvency calculation purpose has been reduced from 180 days to 365. “Now, it has been decided to extend the exemption from 2022-23 till further orders,” the Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority of India said on Tuesday.
The decision to continue the series of reforms initiated by the regulator is expected to improve the solvency position of the general insurance industry as a whole.
IRDAI said the impact of this relaxation will be positive on the industry as it will free up capital, which can be used for underwriting more business. “Approximately ₹1,400 crore will be disclosed and general insurers can use this opportunity to optimize the free capital in a manner that increases the penetration of insurance in India,” the regulator said in a release.

Via Arab News: Fakeih: 80% drop in MERS infections. Excerpt:
There has been an 80 percent decrease in the number of MERS coronavirus cases during the past six weeks due to the preventive measures, Acting Health Minister Adel Fakeih has told the Shoura Council.
Fakeih enumerated the measures taken by the Ministry of Health in coordination with all local and global agencies and the ministry of agriculture. He said that the same efforts would be further intensified during the Umrah and Haj season to have the disease under control in the Kingdom.
“The ministry will be able to ensure proactive and swift action against future public health challenges, such as MERS-CoV through continuous coordination and monitoring. Topnotch clinicians, scientists, researchers and health care and emergency planning experts will work for a new health Command and Control Center (CCC).
The CCC will ensure that health challenges are managed with a systematic, holistic and comprehensive approach.
The center currently has 11 platforms, each of which is tasked with a specific topic, all under the coordination of the control tower platform.
“We have now documented every single MERS case that occurred in the Kingdom since September 2012,” the minister said, pointing out that so far 689 cases have been reported including 283 deaths. A total of 53 patients are under treatment and 353 have recovered from the illness.
He said the summer season would not aggravate the spread of the disease in the Kingdom. However, he added that concerted efforts must be made by people to observe personal hygiene to cover their noses while sneezing and coughing. He said the ministry is in the process of gearing up its 500 hospitals to meet the health challenges in the country.
If only the minister would also give us some details on every single MERS case. Meanwhile, the KSA MOH MERS page is offline—temporarily, I hope.

Congratulations to N. K. Jemisin for being named one of this year’s MacArthur “geniuses!” The MacArthur Foundation describes her as “a speculative fiction writer exploring deeply human questions about structural racism, environmental crises, and familial relationships while immersing readers in intricately imagined, fantastical worlds.” She is most widely known for her award-winning Broken Earth Trilogy, which begins with The Fifth Season. The City We Became is the first book in a new series called Great Cities. In this novel, New York City is both the setting and a sentient being. As the primary avatar of the city lies in a coma, five people develop mysterious new powers as they each become an avatar for one of the City's five boroughs. Although clearly a fantasy, the book draws on actual recent events in New York.

West Suffolk Hospital predicts overspend of £8m
The finances of a hospital that has overspent its £166m budget by £3.6m are to be investigated by an NHS watchdog.

Stephen Graves, chief executive, said: "We forecast a loss of £8m in 2014/15.
"Monitor has decided to take a closer look at our finances so that they can understand the reasons behind our performance."
Adam Cayley, at Monitor, said: "We want to be assured that our concerns about its financial performance are suitably addressed and do not impact on the trust providing the care its patients deserve."

Best options for a tertiary rhinoplasty? Man-made Implants vs rib cartilage?
Doctor Answers 6
In my opinion, rib cartilage whether your own or from a jar( irradiated homograft costal cartilage) are better options than medpor.
Hello and thank you for your question. The best advice you can receive is from an in-person consultation. I do not recommend an implant in the nose such as medpor or gortex. This has a high infection and extrustion rate in the nose. Cartilage performs much better. Make sure you specifically look at before and after
pictures of real patients who have had this surgery performed by your surgeon
and not just a computer animation system. The most important
aspect is to find a surgeon you are comfortable with. I recommend that you seek
consultation with a qualified board-certified plastic surgeon who can evaluate
you in person.
Best wishes and good luck.
Richard G. Reish, M.D.
Harvard-trained plastic surgeon
Revision Rhinoplasty with Rib Cartilage
I would strongly suggest against any artificial implants in the nose. As stated by prior surgeons, there is a high risk of infection and extrusion. I would highly suggest a tertiary revision be done with rib cartilage, because typically revision surgeries require structural grafting for support as well as cosmetic effect. If you are concerned about warping, I would suggest a diced cartilage fascia graft "DCF", popularized by Rollin Daniel. I use them quite regularly in my rhinoplasty practice with excellent results. They provide excellent dorsal augmentation with little if any risk of warping. Cartilage and fascia can also be utilized in the nasal tip refinement depending on the degree of deformity and skin thickness. Good Luck!

What's better? Rib cartilage or an implant
There are risks to everything we do in surgery. It sounds that you have lost some structural support in your nose after your previous rhinoplasties and you require restructuring of your nose. This is best achieved with strong cartilage such as that found in your rib. The chances of resorption and warping are very small if properly used. Stifness can occur with any operation where structural support is required, but this can be managed with certain techniques and usually improves over time. Implants can get displaced, can extrude and can get infected 25 years after surgery and may need to be removed. They can work really well in the hands of many surgeons across the world, but they also have problems. I would recommend a rib graft, but you have to feel comfortable with your choice.
Rib cartilage vs implant for Rhinoplasty.
Thanks for your question.
I would have like to see your photos to better answer your question. I personally am not a fan of implants in the nose as I have seen problems with it. Your own cartilage is a better choice. Depending upon the use of the cartilage it could be harvest from your septum, ear or rib. Lately I have been using cadaver rib cartilage grafts with good outcome in selected patients.
It would be best to use your own tissues. These would have the least risk of infection. Cartilage resorption and warping is a risk but there are ways to carve the cartilage to minimize this.
These answers are for educational purposes and should not be relied upon as a substitute for medical advice you may receive from your physician. If you have a medical emergency, please call 911. These answers do not constitute or initiate a patient/doctor relationship.

Madi has REALLY struggled lately with having her picture taken. She is so involved with all that is going on that she just can't focus on looking at the camera AND smiling. I know it is totally normal for her age but it still can be so frustrating. So, when Madi actually wanted her picture taken the other day, I jumped at the chance!
This is one of my favorites. I love her grin! I wish I had a better background but we were actually on our way out the door so I just took a few in my yard real quick.
I really like this one too!

What is an 'Affiliate Program'?
An Affiliate Program is a system offered by many bookmakers and online casinos
for profit-sharing. Usually, someone will register as an affiliate
and be provided with a link to register at the bookmaker or casino. For every user that the affiliate can encourage to sign up through the link, they will receive money. This can be in the form of a flat fee for each registration, a share of their losses, or sometimes both.
'Affiliate Program' explained
A large majority of online bookmakers and casinos offer affiliate programs, and they are usually easy to register
for. Once signed up, the affiliate will then receive a link to the registration page, which will record any users that sign up and determine the payout to the affiliate. Depending on the bookmaker
or casino, this can take many forms - it can depend on how much money the user deposits, how much money they lose, or can simply be a flat fee.Although anyone is eligible to sign up as an affiliate and it can be a good way to get some extra money even for individuals just passing the link on to a few friends, it can be highly profitable for people with large audiences, such as those who have a big following on social media or popular websites, particularly if they are related to gambling
.Many websites that offer sports betting tips and news will be signed up to one or more affiliate programs to earn money - although there is no downside for those who sign up. In fact, larger affiliates can often be given specific deals to entice players to register unique to their own link, so it can even be advantageous for players to sign up through an affiliate.

- Gold moves on the weakness of the US dollar after Powell’s testimony.
- Gold is trading between two levels of resistance and support, at $ 1,810, or above, below and $ 1,875, or around.
At $ 1,840, the gold price is slightly lower than the peak but still, the bulls are up 0.4% on the day. The price has so far traveled between $ 1,823.45 and the high of $ 1,847.93. US Treasury yields and the US dollar threat have increased amid rising recession concerns, but it has begun to give up early returns as investors move to US stocks and risk assets despite higher interest rates.
Bond yields fell ahead of Federal Reserve President Jerome Powell’s testimony to Congress, and his issuance has been taken as a low haul. The soft yield is bullish on gold as the yellow metal does not give any interest. The yield on the US 10-year note last decreased from 3.8% to 3.156%, down from a high of 3.283% to 3.124%. Meanwhile, the US stock markets reversed course and moved higher from the initial loss, with the Dow Jones 0.6% and the S&P 500 index finally gaining 0.75%. NASDAQ is up 0.9%. The US dollar fell 0.3%, as measured by the DXY Index, to 103.858 below 104.95.
Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell said the US Central Bank was “strongly committed” to reducing inflation, but there was a sigh of relief that Powell was no more hockish when the Fed raised its benchmark overnight interest rate by three quarters. Percentage point, its largest increase since 1994.
When Powell said the Fed was strongly committed to returning inflation to its 2% target, he did not say that the commitment was unconditional, as reported by Monetary Policy last week. Additionally, during the questionnaire they tried to convince the audience that a soft landing was possible, but price stability is now their priority. However, the fear of recession is on the rise.
Analysts at TD Securities noted that it was supporting gold bugs that were looking for a rise in the market price for the Fed hike. “Markets are reducing the recession on the horizon, which has historically led to a pivot in Fed policy. However, this hiking cycle differs from recent historical analogies because the Fed’s ability to control inflation is limited because supply-side disruption.
” In turn, gold bugs deprive potential stable results of low growth but central banks should continue to raise rates even as long-term inflation faces a credibility crisis. In this scenario, the price of the Fed pivot is less correlated with recession odds than in previous episodes, ”the analyst further explained.
“In the immediate term, CTA trend followers are also backing yellow metal, after Chair Powell deftly prepared the gold sales-news rally after the 75bp hike, which has sparked CTA trend followers.
Technical analysis of gold
The description on the 4-hour time frame identifies areas of liquidity in order blocks (OBs), or areas where demand and supply are expected to be lowered, and the price still inadequate (PI), or ‘price imbalance’ (mis-match in bids and offers). This leaves the price trapped between $ 1,810, or below it, $ 1,875, or upwards.
The nearest demand area, or order block, is about $ 1,826. There is a price imbalance between there and the current spot price, which can be mitigated in the near term, drawing the market towards the demand sector. If the bulls are committed, there is a chance for greater movement toward the upper imbalance areas on the way to $ 1,875.

For kids and parents, mid-July may seem a bit early to talk about back to school, but one Carroll organization is already looking for donations to help in their annual effort to make sure kids are ready and have the supplies they need when they head back to the classroom.
Every year the Shepherd's Staff collects school supplies for students from pre-K through high school whose parents can't afford them. Last year, the organization collected enough supplies to help 1,100 students.
Each student registered receives a backpack with supplies, as well as a gift card for the purchase of new shoes at Payless. They also have the opportunity to select some new or gently used clothing items from the organization's clothing shed.
Parents have to enroll their child in person at the Shepherd's Staff, 30 Carroll St., Westminster, in order to participate in the program. Registration is open from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m. on Monday, Tuesday and Friday, and from 3 p.m. to 7 p.m. Thursday from now until July 27.
Key to the success of the program is assistance from the community in providing the supplies. Binders, composition books, glue sticks and other supplies help to fill the backpacks. Monetary donations are also welcomed.
Donations can be dropped off at the Shepherd's Staff until Aug. 24 from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m. on Mondays, Tuesday and Fridays, and from 3 p.m. to 7 p.m. on Thursdays. People interested in donating should contact the organization for a complete list of what is needed.
Efforts such as the back-to-school supplies drive would not be successful without the help of many businesses, groups, organizations and individuals that contribute to the effort.
As families everywhere continue to struggle in this sluggish economy, more and more are finding they need a little help to make ends meet. The Shepherd's Staff program has helped many area families in the past, and the organization expects that the needs will be even greater this year.
When shopping in the coming weeks, think about picking up an extra notebook or other school supply and contributing it to the program. Together, we can ensure that no student has to return to school without the basic supplies that they need to learn.

U.S. Congressman John J. Duncan, Jr. (R-Tenn.) introduced legislation yesterday to help protect the personal privacy of children and teens. The legislation is called, “The Forbidding Advertisement Through Child Exploitation (FACE) Act.
According to a press release by Rep. Duncan’s office, the Act would ban social media sites from using the faces of underage users for advertisements or commercial purposes. Protecting our children in the Social Media Age is paramount and it is imperative that the digital business community work with state and federal regulators and lawmakers to better protect our children.
While it is too soon to speculate on the chances the legislation has to become law, it is important that our legislators and regulators work closely with the digital industry to better protect the personal privacy and digital safety of our children.

This study was a single-centre, nonrandomized, open-label prospective clinical trial conducted at the Tianjin Chest Hospital. Patients with paroxysmal AF who received first-time CB ablation at the Tianjin Chest Hospital between October 2016 and January 2018 were enrolled in the trial. A total of 164 consecutive patients were included in the study. One method was a conventional dosing protocol. With this method, a 180-second freeze cycle was followed by a 180-second bonus freeze after acute PV isolation in the Cryo-AFConventional group. The second method had a shorter protocol that was based on the TT-PVI or achievement of –40°C within 60 seconds. Written informed consent was obtained from all patients. The inclusion criteria were age of 18 to 75 years, at least 2 paroxysmal AF episodes documented by electrocardiography, and no response to at least 1 antiarrhythmic drug. The exclusion criteria were acute coronary syndrome, persistent AF, left atrial size >50 mm, intracardiac thrombi, uncontrolled heart failure, and a history of a previous AF ablation procedure. Patients with a left common trunk or right middle PV were also excluded from the analysis. Three experienced operators performed the procedures. The same individual operators carried out both ablation strategies. The Institutional Review Board of Tianjin Chest Hospital approved the study protocol. The clinical baseline characteristics of the study patients are shown in Table 1.
Conscious sedation was established before the CB ablation procedure was performed. Vital parameters (oxygen saturation, blood pressure, pulse) were continuously monitored. During the ablation procedure, it was recommended that active clotting times be maintained between 300 and 350 seconds by intravenous administration of heparin. We used biplane fluoroscopy with 30° right and 45° left anterior oblique views. The electrophysiological study and cryoablation procedure were performed. A diagnostic catheter was delivered via the right internal jugular vein and positioned within the coronary sinus. An exchange wire was placed in the left superior PV after a single transseptal puncture access was made with an SL–1 sheath (St. Jude Medical, Inc.) using the modified Brockenbrough method (BRK–1, St. Jude Medical, Inc.). The PV anatomy and left atrial was visualized by using PV angiography. The SL–1 sheath was then replaced with a steerable sheath (FlexCath Advance™, Medtronic, Inc.). A 20-mm circular mapping catheter (Achieve™, Medtronic, Inc.) was used to guide the CB2 inside the left atrium (LA) and to try real-time recordings from the focused PV in all patients. Once a PV was inserted, the CB became inflated and approached to the vein ostium, and PV occlusion was confirmed by injection of contrast medium. Our standard set of lesions included the left superior pulmonary vein (LSPV), which was dealt with first, followed by the left inferior PV (LIPV), right inferior PV (RIPV), and right superior PV (RSPV). The Achieve catheter was placed and used during cryoablation; the TT-PVI was recorded “online” when the PV potentials have been dissociated from left atrial activity or completely disappeared. While ablating near the RSPV or RIPV, the phrenic nerve (PN) was stimulated with a bipolar catheter placed in the superior vena cava, and diaphragmatic stimulation was realized by pacing the ipsilateral phrenic nerve with a 1500-ms cycle and a 10-mA cycle. The operator periodically noticed the diaphragmatic contraction by using fluoroscopy and placed a hand on the abdomen of the patient to evaluate the strength of contraction. Cryoablation was terminated immediately if loss or reduction of the pacing capture was detected. The balloon was repositioned at the PV antrum if the PN function recovered and ablation was then reattempted. Radiofrequency (RF) ablation was used to complete PV isolation if PN function failed to recover within 10–15 minutes.
In our study, we compared two cryotherapy application protocols. Cryoablation of 180 seconds was applied in the Cryo-AFConventional group until a bidirectional block of the vein was observed. Following successful PVI, an additional 180-second freeze cycle was applied to each PV. In the Cryo-AFDosing group, the freeze duration was modified relying the observed TT-PVI or balloon temperature. If a spontaneous TT-PVI was observed, cryoenergy applications lasted for the TT-PVI plus 60–90 seconds. If the TT-PVI was <60 seconds, a TT-PVI plus 60-second freeze cycle was applied. If the TT-PVI was between 60 and 90 seconds, a TT-PVI plus 90 seconds freeze cycle was applied. We abandoned the cryoenergy applications that did not achieve TT-PVI within 90 s. The CB was placed in an alternate position to achieve a suitable TT-PVI. Additionally, if the TT-PVI was unavailable, cryoenergy of 120–180 s was applied until the vein was blocked according to the time from the beginning of ablation to the balloon temperature achievement of –40°C. In other words, if the temperature reached –40°C within 60 seconds, a 120-second freeze cycle was applied, and if the temperature reached –40°C within 60–90 seconds, a 180-second freeze cycle was carried out. A 120-second bonus operation was administered immediately in both cases, (Fig 1). If the balloon temperature fell beneath –55°C, the cryoapplication was terminated, and the balloon was placed in a different position at the PV antra to avoid ultra-cold temperatures. The endpoint of cryoablation for PVs was isolation. This was demonstrated by pacing the stimulation of the LA as well as the corresponding PV. The nadir cryotemperature and total cryotherapy time per vein during every cryoablation were recorded, as was the total procedure time. The main adverse events related to cryoablation, specifically, pericardial effusion or tamponade, transient ischaemic attack (TIA) or stroke, PN palsy, atrial-oesophageal fistulas, and symptomatic PV stenosis, were also recorded. Isolation of all PVs was reassessed by documentation of entrance- and exit-block after a 20-minute waiting period and in almost all cases following the administration of intravenous adenosine triphosphate (ATP). If PV reconnection was recorded, cryoenergy application of the reconnected PV was repeated.
Three parameters of cryokinetics were introduced: TT-PVI, defined as the time from the beginning of the application to the moment the vein is blocked; time to –40°C, defined as theballoon freezing time from the beginning of the application to the moment of achievement of –40°C; and achievement –40°C within 60 seconds, which was defined as the balloon freezing time; that is, from the beginning of the application to the achievement of –40°C within 60 seconds.
Postprocedural management and follow-up
Patients were discharged from the hospital within 3 days of the procedure. Oral anticoagulation treatment was initiated on the evening of ablation and was continued for at least 2 months. Antiarrhythmic drug (AAD) treatment was employed for 6 weeks. The patients were scheduled for follow-up visits at 1 and 3 months and then every 3 months after discharge from the hospital. The study considered a three-month blank period, and 12-lead electrocardiography and 24-hour Holter recordings were acquired at each follow-up visit. Any symptoms after ablation were deemed eligible for Holter monitoring. Furthermore, telephone calls were also executed throughout the follow-up. If atrial tachycardia (AT), AF, or atrial flutter (AFL) lasted more than 30 seconds, cryoablation was said to have failed, and the failure date was recorded as the date of recurrence. Otherwise, the treatment was regarded as successful.
Variables that composed a normal distribution were reported as the mean ± standard deviation and variables were compared with a Student’s t-test. The classification data were compared with the χ2test or Fisher exact test. Kaplan-Meier method was used to predict the recurrence-free survival of AF, and the survival curve was compared with the log-rank test. The reported P values were calculated using a two-tailed test, and statistical significance was defined as P< 0.05. All statistical analyses were performed using IBM SPSS statistical software (Version 19.0, SPSS).

The stuttering New England Patriots were stunned and left licking their wounds for a second successive week after losing 26-10 to the Detroit Lions.
After going down to the Jacksonville Jaguars in week two of the NFL, New England's flaws were exposed again on Sunday, including the lack of targets for veteran star quarterback Tom Brady.
Meanwhile, Detroit took one of their weakest areas and turned it into a reason to celebrate.
It was the first victory for the Lions, pushing them to 1-2 — a record the Patriots mirror.
An uncharacteristic outing for the Patriots … or is there a problem?
New England were a shadow of themselves. The Patriots were missing something, anything, and never found it.
Brady, who has been needing playmakers down the field, was without the newest addition to the Patriots' roster, Josh Gordon, and their lack of a deep threat showed as New England had their fewest first-half yards (70) since December 2014.
The offense that has dumped points on their opponents in recent years was shut out in both the first and fourth quarter.
The Patriots went three-and-out on three possessions until late in the second quarter when they netted their first points with a 36-yard field goal. Brady had a dismal performance, finishing with just 14-of-26 passing for only 133 yards and a single touchdown. His longest pass of the game: a 19-yard connection to tight end Rob Gronkowski.
They tried to make up for it on the ground, but rookie Sony Michel and company could not hit their stride either — something the Lions did not have a problem with, surprisingly.
It would be easy to write this game off as just a bad day for the Patriots, except they lost 31-20 to the Jaguars last week, making this the first time since December 2002 New England have suffered consecutive double-digit losses. That is cause for concern among Patriots fans, but maybe the addition of Gordon will help open up the offense.
The Lions ran, and ran well
Detroit improved one of their weakest components: the run game.
For the first time since their 'Thanksgiving Day' game in 2013, the Lions had a 100-yard rusher. Kerryon Johnson opened up the game for Detroit, who have not been able to get things going on the ground. Johnson rushed for 101 yards on 16 carries.
His efforts ended a 70-game drought without a 100-yard rusher, the longest by any team since the 1970 NFL/AFL merger.
Johnson's effectiveness — along with a little help from LeGarrette Blount (16 carries for 48 yards) — helped quarterback Matthew Stafford settle down and overcome third-quarter woes that have plagued the team the past two weeks.
Detroit made it through their roughest quarter
Entering Sunday night, the Lions had given up the most third-quarter points throughout the entire league.
They would need to hold off a newly tweaked Patriots squad that many thought would come out of half-time with some adjustments. However, New England put only seven points on the board in the third quarter and were again shut out in the fourth.
Lions head coach Matt Patricia – the former defensive co-ordinator in New England now in his first year at the helm in Detroit – seemed to have all the answers for Patriots counterpart Bill Belichick's game plan in their first meeting on opposite sidelines. It was just what the struggling Lions needed after back-to-back losses.

The International Air Transport Association (IATA) is the global trade association for the airline industry
The International Air Transport Association (IATA) is the trade association for the world’s airlines, representing some 265 airlines or 83% of total air traffic. We support many areas of aviation activity and help formulate industry policy on critical aviation issues.
The International Transport Forum carries out a quarterly exercise collecting data on the short term evolution of the transport sector amongst our 57 member countries to foresee trends in the sector as a result of economic down or upturn.
This is a self-learning tool for city transport leaders and their advisers, but also a public resource that provides guidance in the planning, design, implementation, and evaluation of an ITS program.
It addresses the growing worldwide interest in the use of light rail metro transit (LRMT) schemes to provide urban transport solutions and reviews the potential use of public-private partnership (PPP).
This report sets out several recent advances and describes efforts to improve the quality of Transport Cost-benefit analysis (CBA) and its applicability to decision-making.
A new report released today by the Global Infrastructure Hub, a G20 initiative, has revealed an infrastructure investment gap of US$1 trillion in 10 Compact with Africa countries over the next 22 years. This represents a 42 per cent investment gap; one of the largest regional gaps in the world.
The Global Infrastructure Hub, a G20 initiative, has today published two reports that reveal an urgent need for infrastructure investment in 10 Compact with Africa countries, and highlight the reforms required to encourage greater investment.
The International Transport Forum at the OECD is an intergovernmental organisation with 57 member countries. It acts as a think tank for transport policy and organises the Annual Summit of transport ministers. ITF is the only global body that covers all transport modes.
This report from PwC, with research by Oxford Economics, analyses and projects capital project and infrastructure spending across the globe.
This report is the product of a roundtable organised by ITF at the OECD and the UK National Infrastructure Commission.
Building Prospects (formerly known as Infrastructure Development Fund, IDF) was established in 2002 by the Dutch government and FMO to support private investments in infrastructure.
An updated Checklist on Long-term Investment Strategies and Institutional Investors stresses on issues related to the identification of long-term investment needs.
The G20/OECD Checklist consists of a list of questions and issues that represent an effort to develop an evaluation tool to help those countries who wish to self-assess their long-term investment (LTI) strategy and policy framework and more.
G20 Leaders endorsed the High Level Principles on Long-Term Investment Financing by Institutional Investors in September 2013, which is intended to help governments facilitate and promote long-term investment by institutional investors.
The aim of this guidebook is to compile information on PPP frameworks in APEC member economies into a single information as a facilitatory tool for investment.

After talking the talk, the watch industry is beginning to walk the walk – and not just with isolated initiatives. Sustainable development is making very real inroads, as reported at Watches and Wonders.
Articles on the subject:
Panerai forges ahead with its mission to bring more circular practices to the world of watchmaking with a Luminor Marina built from an innovative metal.
Helping us forget ongoing restrictions, the brands at Watches and Wonders unveiled an explosion of colour alongside calendar complications, our future travel companions.
Beneath the sea, up in the air, scaling snow-capped peaks or simply for a day around town, the sport watch lends itself to just about every situation. From stylish to rugged, here is our selection of 13 models spotted at Watches and Wonders Geneva.
In the run-up to the Watches and Wonders digital fair, this selection from the new releases so far sets the tone for a year which, after a sobering period, sees creativity bounce back.
In the wake of the 70th anniversary of the Luminor, Panerai celebrates its iconic collection with a precious interpretation: the Platinumtech™ Luminor Marina (PAM01116) guaranteed for 70 years.
Rivals in 2017, the two watchmakers meet again for this year’s America’s Cup. Omega, having lifted the Auld Mug several times, competes alongside the Defender, Emirates Team New Zealand, while Panerai is making a new bid, this time with Team Luna Rossa Prada Pirelli.
Keeping with the Panerai character, the Luminor Due continues its process of evolutionary adaptation. Technical, functional and formal.

August 28, 2020, marked the 100th anniversary of the club's first ever match in the English Football League.
Grecians Club Secretary Sid Thomas called the move 'the biggest and most revolutionary step we have had in football for very many years’. Manager Arthur Chadwick said ‘it’s the finest thing that could possibly have happened’.
When the big day arrived on August 28 1920, hundreds were queuing by midday to get the best viewpoints. A crowd variously estimated as 6,000 to 7,000 crammed into the ground, and those in the Grecians' ranks were not to leave disappointed.
To celebrate this milestone, the 'Celebrating our Heritage' project team used items from our newspaper and photography collections to research and share the events of that day and more.

A repository of things Indian in the Caribbean
"Girmitiyas” (derived from the Bhojpuri word "girmit" for “agreement”) refers to the generations of Indians who were taken from India by the Europeans to work as indentured laborers in the sugar plantations around the world during the middle and late 19th century. These areas include Mauritius, Seychelles, Fiji, South Africa, East Africa, Malay Peninsula, Suriname, Guyana, Trinidad, Suriname, Danish West Indies, St Croix, and other Caribbean islands. The girmitiyas signed a contract that guaranteed bounded labor for five years (with option to renew for another 5 years), after which they could return to India. If they renewed their contract after 5 years, they could return to India at the expense of the British Colonial government. Many girmitiyas chose to remain in the diasporic colonies and chose to settle in exchange for return passages and a some received small plots of land.
Approximately 1.2 million girmitiyas were transported from India in a span of over eighty years, with more than half of them taken to the Caribbean. Descendants of the original girmitiyas can be found in large communities in Guyana, Trinidad and Suriname, and in other island nations in the Caribbean. The girmitiyas, as well as their descendants, have made progress in various areas, while overcoming difficult challenges. Some of those challenges, and new ones, continue to plague the children of the original girmitiyas today.
In many ways, the history of the girmitiyas who crossed the kala pani (“black water”) remains silent, or was silenced by colonial hegemony. This site is an attempt to give recognition to the presence of girmitiyas in the Caribbean. While our focus is primarily on Indians in the Caribbean, we will strive to encourage communication, cooperation and interaction with girmitiyas outside the region. We recognize that many scholars are engaged in researching, documenting and archiving our history so that we can have a common narrative. It is important that this narrative gets filtered down to members of our community so that they can connect with the past and define our proper role in our respective Caribbean societies.
"Cooliness", Coolitude and Pan-indenturism
The narrative on Indians in and from the Caribbean forms an undeniable addition to Khal Torabully’s concept of COOLITUDE. Girmitiyas who have settled in various parts of the Caribbean have made significant contributions to the societies in which they permanently reside. There are two distinct features that connect the Caribbean girmitiyas with the Indian diaspora, and India, spiritually and emotionally, namely a) the trans-oceanic and geographic crossing, and b) the shadow of Mother India to which many still share a cultural connection. The commonality shared by diasporic communities, the evidence of a flourishing multi-discipline research designed to construct a "lost" narrative and the frequent interaction among global girmitiyas have created an international bond that promises to unite this community across national borders in ways that were non-existent before. Moreover, globalization and a renaissance in cultural awakening has facilitated a desire to establish closer relations with Indians in the diaspora. Girmitiyas across the world are taking the initiative to document their history. Given the scope of bigger things to come, our goal of promoting interactions with the diasporic Indians will be limited to the Caribbean region. We, of course, will gladly work closely with girmitiyas and Indians outside the Caribbean region, particularly since we share similar historical experiences and legacies, as well as common challenges.
Oral History: "On Being Indian"
Voices from the Caribbean Indian Diaspora (and others)
History comes "alive” through visual presentations. Making connections with the past, in order to understand the present, is an important process in defining our identity and our being. We will strive to do so via oral narratives from Indians in the Caribbean who in their unique accomplishments have created “cross-national echoes” from their coolitude experiences. Caribbean girmitiyas will share their experiences “on being Indian” through short videos. Oral narratives will seek to focus on contemporary issues and challenges facing the Indian diaspora in the Caribbean.
Discovering Indian History in the Caribbean
The Haitian academic and anthropologist, Michel-Rolph Trouillot, noted that history essentially is silenced (if not silent) when our life experiences are disconnected from four critical areas of expressing our history: SOURCES (the moment of fact creation), ARCHIVES (preserving the facts), NARRATIVES (retelling historical events from facts) and HISTORY (using facts to reconstruct a “lost” history). Archival materials documenting the history of the girmitiyas is a crucial component of making our history come alive. This section will enable researchers to participate in reconstructing the history of Indians (which was largely told from the perspective of the power centers and individuals who controlled the system of indentureship) through available artifacts, documents and records held as repositories in the Caribbean (and other places).

Sources of fiction which compliment the Shadow of the Demon Lord game, either in setting or flavour.
"The Broken Sword" by Poul Anderson
- Robert Schwalb has cited this book as an inspiration for SOTDL's treatment of elves.
- Grim, dark fantasy set primarily in the British Isles during the Viking era. Heavily dips into Norse mythology (the Norse gods, frost giants, etc) and British & Irish mythology (faerie, trolls, leprechauns, changelings).
- Written in 1954, it has a style similar to the ancient Icelandic and Norwegian sagas.
- Amazon USA, Amazon UK, Amazon DE, Audiobook
"Memory, Sorrow, Thorn" series by Tad Williams
- Robert Schwalb also mentioned this as a source of inspiration for SOTDL's faerie.
- Epic fantasy trilogy which predates both the Song of Ice and Fire and the Wheel of Time series, while arguably influencing both.
- [needs brief synopsis]
- Amazon USA, Amazon UK, Amazon DE, Audible
Warhammer: "Dead Winter" by C L Werner
- Book One of the Black Plague, set in the early days of the Empire (1000 years after the Age of Sigmar)
- During the winter, a deadly plague strikes the Empire. As it grows worse, the skaven emerge from the Under-Empire.
- Amazon US, Amazon UK, Amazon DE (Englisch)
Warhammer: "Skarsnik" by Guy Haley
- The rise and fall of the goblin chieftain Skarsnik, as recounted by Skarsknik himself to a mad playwright, who recounted it to a greenskin academic, who then shared it with the author of the work.
- Though this is a very Warhammer portrayal of goblins, it should nonetheless serve as an excellent source of inspiration for SOTDL goblins, both PCs and NPCs.
- Amazon USA, Amazon UK, Amazon DE

Year 2 put on a wonderful Christmas Show on Monday 13th December. However, this year it was a little different because we went online! Parents could either watch the Livestream event on our YouTube Channel or via a separate recording posted later in the day.
Despite not having a live audience, aside from Mr Guest and Mr Tallon who were in charge the technology, the children performed beautifully. Well done also to all of the Year 2 Staff for organising such a fantastic production. Did you know that the script and music was all written and recorded by Mr Guest as well?

Vitalik Buterin is a Russian-Canadian programmer and writer who has been active in the Bitcoin ecosystem since 2011, co-founding Bitcoin magazine and contributing articles to it. He's well-known for creating Ethereum, a blockchain platform that acts as a global computer for decentralized applications, or DApps.
As per the reports, Vitalik Buterin will get a percentage of the Shiba Inu coins he gave to an Indian COVID-19 relief fund titled India Crypto Relief Fund, popularly known as CryptoRelief, in 2021. Buterin recently announced on Twitter that CryptoRelief is returning $100 million in bitcoin (approximately Rs. 745 crores) from the "Shiba fund”.
CryptoRelief sending $100m of the $SHIBA funds back to me. I plan to personally deploy these funds with the help of science advisors to complement CryptoRelief's existing excellent work with some higher-risk higher-reward covid science and relief projects worldwide. https://t.co/xvHxzwwdn8 — vitalik.eth (@VitalikButerin) January 28, 2022
Buterin aims to "personally employ these fund(s)" in "higher-risk, higher-reward COVID scientific and humanitarian programs throughout the world.”
He went on to claim that in order to ensure a transparent deployment of the cash, he co-founded a new organization called Balvi, which will manage the process on his behalf.
Sandeep Nailwal, a co-founder of Polygon as well as the creator of CryptoRelief, verified Vitalik's assertion, indicating that the monies will be released in USDC, a stable coin tied to the US dollar.
According to Sandeep, the decision to return some of the monies to Vitalik was primarily influenced by the necessity to comply with Indian legislation regarding relief fund distribution.
Buterin introduced Balvi in a separate tweet. Buterin believes Balvi is in a better position to make these high-value, global bets that benefit both Indians and non-Indians. The initiatives will encompass vaccine research and development, novel methods to air filtration and ventilation, testing, and more.
I've cofounded a new org (Balvi) to direct these funds, which is in a better position to make these bets which will are very-high-value and global in nature and bring great benefit to Indians and non-Indians. You can follow funds at this address:https://t.co/mvmSSGPLmI — vitalik.eth (@VitalikButerin) January 28, 2022
Besides, he also claimed, Balvi will use the "SHIB monies" largely for vaccine research and development, sponsoring innovative air filtration initiatives, and testing, among other things.

Combat Maneuvers in Swords & Wizardry
Maneuver Training Summary:
Fighters: two at level 1, then one at level 8 and 16
Paladins, Rangers, Monks: one at level 1 and one at level 12
Assasins, Rogues and Bards: one at level 4 and one at level 18
Clerics of a War God: one at level 1 and one at level 16
Summary of Maneuvers
Dual Weapon Strikes: a fighter (and only a fighter) can get a primary and off-hand light weapon. He can gain a +2 parry bonus to AC with one attack using a parrying dagger, or he can dual-strike, gaining a -2 penalty to both attack rolls but at the possible benefit of getting two strikes in. Note that normal characters default to the standard S&W rules for this kind of attack. Optionally rangers may also be allowed access to this maneuver.
Cleaving Strike: you down an opponent and can immediately make an attack against a second adjacent opponent. Like the combat dominance feature (hitting 1 HD or less creatures) but only applies to two creatures with no HD limit.
Advanced Cleaving: you must have cleaving strike and be level 8 or better; you can cleave until you run out of adjacent enemies.
Weapon Specialization: you can pick one weapon to gain +1 attack and +2 damage with.
Weapon Mastery: requires Weapon Specialization and level 8 or better: you are now +3 attack and +3 damage with that weapon.
Disarm: you can target a foe armed with a weapon at a -4 on your attack roll; if you make it, your opponent makes a saving throw or drops the weapon. If you specialize in whip or net and use this disarm you can snare the weapon instead.
Feinting Maneuver: you can trick your opponent in to mistaking your intentions; you make an attack roll as normal, but instead of damage your target rolls a saving throw. If it fails, you can either deal maximum damage or deal half damage and gain a +2 AC bonus until your next turn.
Knockdown: You wield a large (two handed) weapon and can potentially knock down opponents. If you make an attack roll with a -2 penalty to your attack you can prompt your foe to make a saving throw or he takes damage and is knocked prone. Otherwise he takes half damage if he saved and is still standing.
Sundering Armor: you can target the foe's armor. You take a -4 penanlty to attack, but if you make the hit, roll damage and divide by four (round up), penalizing your foe's armor by that amount. This damage may be permanent; the armor is reduced to scrap if the damage exceeds its armor bonus to AC, and will otherwise require a proficient armorsmith with appropriate percentage of cost to repair. Magical armor may be immune to armor sundering at the GM's discretion.
GMs could use these maneuvers as special tactics by certain well-trained foes (imagine an ogre with knockdown or Sundering Armor, for example!) and if you allow fighters (or other characters) access, then monsters should definitely use these maneuvers as well.

America’s largest public transportation systems are facing their greatest challenge in generations — a crisis with the potential to decimate their service, cripple local economies, and diminish quality of life.
When Covid-19 arrived three years ago, most transit passengers stopped riding, shrinking transportation agencies’ fare revenues. Today, ridership remains far below pre-pandemic levels. Unless they can quickly find new sources of funding, big transit systems will be forced to drastically curtail service, which would drive away still more passengers and place those systems in an even deeper financial hole.
Such a scenario would directly affect current riders, but it would also devastate cities whose post-pandemic priorities — such as revitalizing downtowns, reducing greenhouse gas emissions, and boosting equity — rely on the ready availability of mass transportation.
But a death spiral is not inevitable. To escape it, transit leaders must offer a full-throated defense of their essential role in American life. They must then secure new and reliable revenue streams from state and regional sources, which will require convincing residents and legislators that transit is worthy of subsidy — not an easy thing to do in a country where the vast majority of people don’t ride the bus or train. “Do you know how many times the median American rides transportation each year?” Brian Taylor, a professor of urban planning and policy at UCLA, asked me.“Zero.”
The only realistic way for transit officials to garner public support for the funding they desperately need is to demonstrate an ability to replace car trips, not just serve economically disadvantaged people who lack other means to get around their city. Otherwise, they forfeit the pro-transit arguments that resonate most with the public: curtailing congestion, reducing auto emissions, and boosting economic growth.
And to replace cars, transit agencies must offer fast, frequent, and reliable trips. This should be the core mission of any functional public transportation system, but increasingly, transit leaders are being pushed to focus on distracting priorities like electrifying buses, eliminating fares, and fighting crime. The biggest US transit agencies must be allowed to simply focus on delivering high-quality service. There is no Plan B.

If you spend a lot of time on Instagram, you may have found posts from people who have a green drink: celery juice. We may not all be lovers of celery, but drinking is fashionable.
It's a phenomenon. Google Trends statistics show relatively little interest in celery juice in recent years, but everything changed with its arrival on social networks; Earlier this year, there was a sharp increase in searches related to it.
Let's start by saying that harm won't do you: Raw celery juice is low in calories and rich in vitamin K and other vitamins and minerals that may be beneficial to your health.
But one of the most popular advocates for drinking the pulp of this green vegetable said some things about the benefits of celery properties that experts say have little or no scientific support.
Doctors are also worried because they say that if people follow the advice of these health influencers, patients can stop looking for them. advice from qualified medical staff
How did the trend begin?
The biggest influencer of celery juice is a man who calls himself the medical medium. His real name is Anthony William. He has two million followers on Instagram and another 3.4 million on Facebook.
On his website there are several testimonies from celebrities who claim to have drank celery juice. Among them, tennis star Novak Djokovic or actor Robert de Niro.
In its social networks, this influencer includes statements such as: "Celery helps cure fibromalgia" and "Raspberry removes viral remnants from the bloodstream" .
Their website goes further and ensures that celery juice can relieve diseases such as cancer and diabetes.
Sida Medical Media's web and social networks are at the heart of a company that offers books that have reached the bestseller list for The New York Times. It also contains links to sell products or join services.
But doctors and healthcare professionals are far from convinced by their claims.
Dr. Austin Chiang, a gastroenterologist in Philadelphia who makes videos on his own channel YouTube told the BBC that claims from Medical Medium are not supported by science and "could be potentially harmful to our patients" .
Tips that come from the spirits
Anthony William freely admits that he has no medical education and that he gets his medical information from "a spirit."
In one of his YouTube videos, he says, "When I was four years old, I heard a voice: & # 39; I am the highest spirit. There is no one but me, but God Himself." Describe in the video how the spirit at a young age told him that his grandmother had lung cancer. [1
William says that none of the information he provides should be considered" a promise of benefits, a claim from priests, a legal guarantee or a guarantee of the results to be achieved. "
In a legal notice as a disclaimer on its website, it also states that your advice is not intended to replace healthcare professionals, which is contrary to what he raises in his videos.
What does a doctor think about this?
" We who practice medicine day after day can see that it you're not really presenting based on any kind of evidence, says Dr. Chiang.
"We believe that this really contributes to misinformation and that it can be harmful to our patients."
"I think part of what makes these accounts attractive is that when you eat fruits and vegetables and adopt a healthy lifestyle, you probably experience some of these benefits, "he says.
But Chiang says relying only on online medical advice of unqualified influencers can have the potential to be extremely dangerous.
"Those of us who work in health care We have seen patients come to the emergency room or show up in our clinics too late because they subscribed to some form of home medicine that is not based on any science," he says.  As an active YouTube and Instagram user, Doctor Chiang is concerned about the amount of incorrect medical information available online and has created a nonprofit called the Association for Healthcare in Social Networks to encourage doctors to interact with the public online.  "This is where many of our patients and our communities are getting your medical information these days," he admits.
Chiang also says that "there must be a better way" to research people who publish medical information on the Internet.
"Some kind of verification process may be useful. "Many of these social media platforms only verify their users based on the fact that these people have a large media presence."
Verification processes vary from one platform to another, but most of the major social media, including Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube, does not verify the specific qualifications or truth or reliability of publications or videos.
They just prove that people are recognized and who they say they are.
How Medical Medium responded and social media companies?
Medical Medium did not respond to the BBC's request for comment.
YouTube said: "Incorrect information is a difficult challenge, and we have taken a number of steps to address this, including showing more authoritative content in medical subjects, display information panels with trusted sources and remove video ads that promote declarations. of harmful health properties. "
They said that medical medium videos" do not encourage dangerous activities leading to serious physical injury or death "and therefore do not violate YouTube's policy.
Facebook, the owner of Instagram, said they are working with experts to deal with malpractice If a verifier qualifies a health-related post as false or misleading, the company says it will take steps to reduce the number of people who view it on Instagram.

Allen Iverson left Turkey for a very sound medical reason — he had a lesion growing on his calf. For the past several months he’s been receiving treatment for it — shots of an anti-inflammatory drug around the lesion.
It has worked and Iverson is ready to get back on the court, reports Ric Bucher of ESPN.
Former NBA MVP Allen Iverson expects to receive medical clearance on Monday to resume playing after being sidelined for the past two months with a lesion in his right calf, says his business manager, Gary Moore.
“He’s going to start rigorous training as soon as he has clearance,” Moore said. “He’s determined to get back to playing.”
There are a wide variety of rumors around as to why Iverson wanted to go to Turkey in the first place, from him being broke to his love of the game. Depends on who is doing the spinning. Personally, I’ve kind of stopped caring too much about the motivation.
Hopefully Iverson can get back on the court and end his career in a way befitting one of the true legends of the game.

Cotgrave Community Garden vegetable bed drawing workshop
A key part of my emerging practice is exploring ways to connect people to the natural world around them. This aim of this workshops was to engage people in observing what whats growing in the community garden, the kids of flowers, fruit and vegetables being grown and the birds and insects they might encounter.
The aim was to then treat a brown recycled cardboard postcard like a miniature vegetable/flower bed and chose what you wanted to ‘plant’ in it by drawing things that you had seen in the garden or by using your imagination, nature stamps and by following the examples provided.
A variety of art materials were provided including pencil crayons, acrylic marker pens, felt tip pens, wax crayons and oil pastels. Nature themed stamps were also provided for people to embellish their work or for those to young to draw details.
I ran this free community workshops at Cotgrave Community Garden.
Free After School Drawing Club for Ages 5-7
Free after-school childcare and opportunities for extra-curricular learning and activity opportunities are limited in our community and our local school was seeking proposals for after-school clubs.
I’m continuing to run a series of 45 minute drawing sessions aimed at 5-7year age group once a week. Introducing children to the idea of creating characters, short comics, drawing faces and facial expressions, treasure maps, space scenes and other fun and kid-centric ideas.
As fine-motor skills and drawing speed are mixed within the groups which spans Year 1 and Year 2, I also set up an area just for colouring-in and by keeping the group size to 15 I’m able to offer a fair amount of 1:1 support while the children are doing the tasks that are introduced at the beginning of the session.
At the end of a block of sessions, which currently span one half term, I provide the children with a participation certificate and stickers.

I like the soft, muted colour palette. I also love your illustration of the nightingales' song! I'm saving up my pennies for October. I want to take a print home this time!
Lovely depth in this one.Very 1920s illustration style.(Like those Vogue Magazine covers)
I know... I saw that too when i printed it, think it is the trees... no?

Oct. 5, 2012— -- The deadly outbreak of fungal meningitis linked to injectable steroids has raised questions about the safety of compounding pharmacies, which mix medicines used by millions of Americans with little federal oversight.
Five people have died and 42 have been sickened by aspergillus meningitis after receiving spinal steroid injections for back pain, health officials said. The steroid was made by the New England Compounding Center, a compounding pharmacy in Framingham, Mass. A sealed vial of the steroid, obtained by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, contained levels of fungus that were visible to the naked eye.
For a full list of clinics receiving the recalled lots of spinal steroid injections, click here.
"Obviously something egregious must have been going on at the New England Compounding Center," said Dr. William Schaffner, president of the National Foundation for Infectious Diseases and chairman of preventive medicine at Vanderbilt University Medical Center in Nashville, Tenn. "The breaches in good manufacturing practice and infection control must have been substantial in order for something like that to occur."
The New England Compounding Center has recalled 17,676 vials of the steroid, called methylprednisolone acetate, and has shut down operations. Calls to the pharmacy were not immediately returned and its website is down.
Roughly 7,500 American pharmacies specialize in concocting customized medicines, according to the International Academy of Compounding Pharmacists. And while they use only FDA-approved ingredients, the final product escapes the agency's stringent safety standards and quality control. Manufacturing is instead monitored by the State Boards of Pharmacy, and the FDA steps in only if a drug is being adulterated or misbranded.
In 2006, the New England Compounding Center was warned by the FDA for splitting and repackaging the cancer drug Avastin -- a practice that opens the door to contamination.
"The moment a sterile container is opened and manipulated, a quality standard (sterility) is destroyed and previous studies supporting the standard are compromised and are no longer valid," the agency wrote in a letter to the pharmacy.
A spokeswoman for the FDA's Office of Unapproved Drugs and Labeling Compliance said the 2006 letter "didn't address compounding problems that are at issue today," and the source of the current contamination remains unclear. Out of "an abundance of caution," the FDA has advised all health care providers to discontinue use of any product from the New England Compounding Center. They have posted a list of products on their website.
Meningitis affects the membranous lining of the brain and spinal cord. Early symptoms of fungal meningitis, such as headache, fever, dizziness, nausea and slurred speech, are subtler than those of bacterial meningitis and can take nearly a month to appear. Left untreated, the inflammatory disease can cause permanent neurological damage and death.
"Fungal meningitis in general is rare. But aspergillus meningitis -- the kind we're talking about here -- is super rare and very serious," said Schaffner. "There's no such thing as mild aspergillus meningitis."
Twenty-nine of the meningitis cases -- three of them lethal -- have been in Tennessee, where more than 900 residents received the drug since July. Cases have also been reported in Virginia, Michigan, Indiana, Maryland, Florida and North Carolina.
Roughly 75 clinics in 23 states that received the recalled vials have been instructed to notify all affected patients.
"If patients are concerned, they should contact their physician to find out if they received a medicine from one of these lots," said Dr. Benjamin Park of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, adding that most of the cases occurred in older adults who were healthy aside from back pain.
Robert Barry, 71, received an injection from one of the recalled vials about six weeks ago.
"They told me that if I begin to develop headache, nausea or trouble walking -- if I believe that Obama won the debate -- I should go to the emergency room," said Barry, who lives in Berlin, Md. As for the pharmacy at the center of the outbreak investigation, Barry said, "I understand they're closed, so that's a good thing."

Federal Foreign Minister Guido Westerwelle today sent his Czech counterpart Karel Schwarzenberg a message of condolence, which reads as follows (excerpt):
“I was greatly shocked and saddened by the news of Jiři Dienstbier’s death.
The Czech Republic and Europe as a whole have lost a truly outstanding democrat and a stalwart campaigner for human rights. The active role he played in the Prague Spring in 1968 led to him being banned from journalism. As co-author of the Charter 77 he was given a three-year prison term. Who in 1977 would have thought the former dissident would become the country’s first democratic Foreign Minister following the Velvet Revolution! Along with Vaclav Havel, he was the face the new democratic country presented to the wider world.
For us Germans Jiři Dienstbier will remain unforgotten as the man who together with Hans-Dietrich Genscher symbolically cut through the Iron Curtain on the German-Czech border and who made a remarkable and unique contribution to reconciliation between our two nations.”
