Resources for Patients & Families
If your doctor thinks your child may have a heart condition, you can get any kind of pediatric diagnostic heart test right here on-site at the Nemours Cardiac Center (our pediatric heart center), located in the world-renowned Nemours/Alfred I. duPont Hospital for Children.
Ranked among the best children’s hospitals in the country for pediatric cardiology and pediatric heart surgery by U.S. News & World Report , duPont Hospital for Children’s pediatric heart experts can help you get the answers you need — right when you need them. That’s just one of the many reasons why families like yours come from across the country and around the world for our renowned pediatric cardiology care.
Our pediatric cardiologists from the Nemours Cardiac Center also travel to sites throughout the Delaware Valley, so you can continue to get our top-quality pediatric cardiology care at a location that’s convenient for you. We see families at our Nemours duPont Pediatrics (primary and specialty care) offices, as well as collaborating hospitals.
We can do evaluations, follow-ups, and some diagnostic cardiology tests at these locations. If your child needs further testing, hospitalization, or surgery, we may have you come see us here at the Nemours Cardiac Center or other hospitals we work with, so you can get the best, most comprehensive care.
Types of Diagnostic Tests & What to Expect
Here, you’ll get expert pediatric cardiology evaluation and follow-up — for everything from arrhythmias to chest pain, fainting to congenital heart defects.
Our pediatric cardiologists at the Nemours Cardiac Center may recommend or order one or more of the following heart tests during your initial visit:
- Electrocardiogram (also called an "EKG" or "ECG"): This test measures the heart’s electrical activity and is completely painless. A series of electrodes (small metal tabs) are simply fixed to your child’s skin in a few locations with tiny sticky papers. Then the information is transferred to a computer, where it’s stored and printed as a graph.
- Holter monitor: This is an EKG that’s performed over a long period of time, usually 24 hours or more. Electrodes are connected to the chest and the wires are attached to a portable EKG recorder. Your child will be encouraged to continue normal daily activities, but must be careful to not get the electrodes wet (that means no swimming, showering, or activities that cause a lot of sweating). There are two kinds of Holter monitoring: continuous recording (when the EKG is on throughout the entire monitoring period) and event monitoring (when data is recorded only when the child feels symptoms and then turns the Holter monitor on).
- Telephonic monitor: We may use this type of testing to help
diagnose a heart rhythm problem. This kind of device is worn by your child and transmits the information from the EKG to your child’s doctor over the telephone.
- Cardiopulmonary exercise assessment (also called an “exercise test” or a “stress test”): While attached to an EKG machine, your child’s heart rate and rhythm are measured while exercising — for example, riding a stationary bicycle or walking on a treadmill under supervision. If your child has or might have a heart problem or has undergone heart surgery, this test will help you to know which kinds of physical activities are OK and which ones aren’t. It can also pick up abnormalities in the heart’s rhythm that aren’t obvious during rest.
To evaluate your child’s heart structure and function, we use advanced imaging (also called “medical imaging”) tests. Our sophisticated pediatric cardiology equipment lets us produce precise diagnostic images of the heart so we can figure out exactly what’s going on and create the very best treatment plan for your child.
We can perform any kind of imaging test your child might need, either within the Nemours Cardiac Center itself or the hospital’s Radiology Department.
Echocardiography (or “echo,” for short) is our most frequently used imaging tool. It’s a specialized form of ultrasound that builds a picture of your child’s heart (an “echocardiogram”) using sound waves. Echocardiograms can be done anywhere within our facility — often right at your child’s bedside — to make the experience as stress-free and comfortable as possible.
Our Echocardiography Department received a three-year accreditation for pediatric transthoracic (chest) echocardiography by the Intersocietal Commission for the Accreditation of Echocardiography Laboratories (ICAEL), which is the country’s highest level of achievement in the specialty.
Four types of echocardiography are available at the Nemours
- Transthoracic echocardiography: This test produces images of your child’s heart from the surface of the chest and upper abdomen.
Often, these images are so precise that invasive testing (inserting an instrument into the body) isn’t needed. It can be used to diagnose a heart problem and monitor changes in the heart as your child grows. These studies can be performed with ease in both the inpatient and outpatient settings. We also offer 3-D echocardiography, which allows us to visualize the structure of the heart valves and other heart structures in even greater detail.
- Transesophageal echocardiography: Also called a TEE, this test is performed by inserting a small ultrasound probe into the mouth and through the esophagus (the food pipe that connects the throat with the stomach and lies directly behind the heart). This is often used for older, larger children and gives the best close-up view of some otherwise hidden regions of the heart. It’s extremely useful for obtaining images during surgery and cardiac catheterization.
- Fetal echocardiography:This is an in-depth ultrasound study used
to view the structure, function, and rhythm of a baby’s heart while in
utero (still in the mother’s womb) – as early as the eighteenth week into the pregnancy.
- Intravascular echocardiography: Called ICE, for short, this test is sometimes done during cardiac catheterization by inserting a thin plastic, flexible tube (called a “catheter”) with a tiny ultrasound probe at the tip through the blood vessels. This ultrasound catheter is advanced to the heart to take a close look at defects and guide any treatment given during the cardiac catheterization.
Your child’s doctors may also order one or both of these other
- Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI): An extremely helpful and safe imaging tool, this test doesn’t require inserting anything into the body. A pediatric MRI produces strikingly clear, complete pictures of your child’s heart and the blood vessels that connect to the heart. A cardiac MRI allows doctors to analyze the structure and function of the heart, as well as the area surrounding the heart (that are less visible with other diagnostic tools) – specifically the lungs, airways, and the esophagus. Because kids must be completely still for MRI, sedation or anesthesia may be required.
- Cardiovascular computed tomography (CT or CAT scan): By injecting a small amount of contrast agent (or dye) into your child’s circulation (a safe technique), the doctor can get an accurate image of the important blood vessels attached to the heart and identify any abnormalities (in the heart and other structures in the chest such as the lungs and airways) in a matter of seconds. The latest technology rapidly produces pictures of many layers of the heart. And because CTs don’t take very long at all, some smaller children can be evaluated for potential problems without having to be sedated.
Depending on your child’s specific signs and symptoms and what initial testing reveals, our Nemours Cardiac Center team may recommend further diagnostic evaluations such as:
- Myocardial perfusion scan: This test is used to look at blood flow to the heart muscle during rest and stress.
- Lung perfusion scan: In this test, we examine blood flow distribution to the right and left lung.
- Tilt-table testing: This diagnostic approach is used to look for a
cause of fainting. We’ll monitor your child’s blood pressure and the heart’s electrical activity on an EKG as your child is attached to a table that moves.
- Diagnostic cardiac catheterization and angiography: This is a completely painless test used to evaluate the blood vessels. Performed under sedation with local or general anesthesia, it’s done by inserting a catheter into an artery and vein that lead to the heart, and advancing it to the heart to take measurements and pictures with X-ray.
- Transesophageal or intravascular electrophysiologic study: A catheter is placed in the esophagus or in a blood vessel near the heart to study the heart’s rhythm.
In our state-of-the-art cardiac catheterization suite, our Nemours Cardiac Center team is able to use advanced techniques to determine the exact details of your child’s heart and how it functions. And, if your child requires anesthesia or sedation, we have our very own pediatric cardiac anesthesiologists on-site who work exclusively with our young heart patients.
At the Nemours Cardiac Center, we offer families a special clinic dedicated to evaluating fetuses, infants, children, and teens with signs and symptoms suggesting an arrhythmia (irregular or abnormal heartbeats or heart rhythm usually caused by an electrical “short circuit” in the heart).
Signs of an arrhythmia may include:
- palpitations (a sort of fluttering feeling in the heart)
- very fast or slow heart rates
- chest pain
- fainting (also called syncope)
To diagnose an arrhythmia, our pediatric cardiology team will implant an arrhythmia detecting device to pick up any abnormal heart rhythms.
About two-thirds of children with critical heart disease are diagnosed while still developing (before birth) or soon after. Thanks to our highly skilled team and advanced technology, most children — even newborns only hours old – who are born with a heart condition can be treated right away.
If you’re pregnant your family obstetrician and/or perinatologist (a doctor who specializes in high-risk pregnancies) suspect your baby may have a heart condition, our diagnostic cardiac team and fetal cardiologists will work together to see what’s going on inside your baby’s tiny ticker.
As early as the 18th week of the pregnancy, we can perform fetal echocardiography (fetal “echo”) – an in-depth cardiac ultrasound study that allows us to view the structure, function, and rhythm of a baby’s heart while still in the womb.
We can do these special fetal ultrasounds:
- here at the Nemours Cardiac Center
- at Nemours duPont Pediatrics locations in Pennsylvania (Collegeville, Newtown Square and Philadelphia), New Jersey (Vineland and Voorhees), and in Delaware (Dover, Middletown and Seaford)
- in consultation with maternal-fetal medicine specialists at two of our collaborating health care facilities, Thomas Jefferson University Hospital (in Center City Philadelphia) and Lankenau Medical Center
(in Wynnewood, PA)
In cooperation with the Nemours Partners for Perinatal Management Program, we’ll help you understand your baby’s condition, coordinate consultations with a pediatric cardiologist, and plan for any necessary treatment at or soon after the birth.

The Angels are staying busy Wednesday, picking up Joe Blanton on a two-year, $15 million contract to add to their rotation.
The deal includes an option for 2015, according to Jon Heyman of CBSSports.com.
Blanton went 10-13 with a 4.71 ERA for the Phillies and Dodgers last season, though he did post a fine 166/34 K/BB ratio in the process. He’s a pretty good fit in a big Angels Stadium that hasn’t been yielding a lot of home runs of late.
Blanton will presumably be the fourth starter in a rotation that also includes Jered Weaver, C.J. Wilson and Tommy Hanson, with one more pitcher still to be signed. With Blanton making $7.5 million and Hanson due about $4 million in arbitration, the Angels should still have at least $8 million-$12 million left to spend on a No. 3 starter with Dan Haren and Ervin Santana having departed and Zack Greinke almost sure to join them.
Assuming the Angels do land that additional starter, then Garrett Richards will head back to Triple-A for more seasoning.

Election day is fast approaching and Edmontonians have a critical role to play. We need to remind all candidates that what happens in our city matters to our country’s economic, environmental and social success.
Local governments all across Canada are in the business of building better lives every day and we need strong partners in Ottawa to deliver for Canadians. We’ve made some progress in recent years, but there are a number of opportunities to aim higher.
Municipalities are responsible for more than 60 per cent of Canada’s public infrastructure, but collect, at most, 10 per cent of each Canadian tax dollar. That is why mayors across the country are united in their call to build a stronger municipal-federal relationship and have more funds flow directly to cities. Ultimately this funding empowers councils to get more done for their residents with the least amount of bureaucracy and paperwork in between, while also helping keep property taxes lower.
We’ve heard a will by some parties to make permanent the recent federal government decision to double the transfer of the gas tax that comes to cities. This is great news as it would allow us to move projects faster and protect our city’s key infrastructure so that Edmontonians can thrive.
A permanent public transit fund is another way the federal government can ensure Edmonton’s success. As we continue to grow to be a city of two million people in a few decades, the robustness of our public transit system will determine how livable and navigable our city will be. Better transit means less congestion, faster commutes, more convenience, higher productivity and lower emissions. It is clear that a strong public transit system will improve our quality of life by improving our environmental sustainability and economic prosperity. Building a strong transit system requires decades of continuous planning, design and delivery, and the current federal government’s plan only takes us to 2027. We need long-term funding stability today so that we can continue to see transit expansions long into the future. At this time, the Liberal, NDP and Green parties have all committed to make a transit program permanent.
Affordable housing continues to be a major concern for myself, as well as other mayors, because it is increasingly difficult to find in many parts of our country, including Edmonton. Our community needs to increase its supply of affordable housing around our whole region. We need to maintain the supply of affordable and market rental housing, and we also need to anticipate, recognize and co-ordinate action to respond to housing and homeless needs. However, we cannot do any of this without federal support.
This is why I’ll be watching for a commitment from all parties to maintain funding and strengthen the National Housing Strategy. Municipalities have been advocating for this issue for decades, because we’re on the front lines of the affordability crisis. Seniors, students, families and workers shouldn’t be struggling to find an affordable place to live. The federal government’s recent re-engagement on affordable housing has been a breakthrough, but we need that leadership to continue and grow to address some important gaps for Indigenous people and for vulnerable Edmontonians who need supportive housing.
I’ll end with climate change. It is heartening to see this issue is taking some precedence this federal election, but I’ll be watching for how parties’ plans will support local governments that are confronting the realities of climate change every day. Protecting Canadians starts locally.
Local climate change impacts already far outstrip current federal funding commitments — from flooding to fires to permafrost changes in the North — and we cannot wait any longer. If we don’t act now, annual costs of extreme weather could rise from $5 billion next year to $43 billion by 2050 across the country. The good news: Every dollar invested in adaptation today saves $6 in future costs.
I’ve stated before that our economic and environmental aspirations should be one and the same if we are to secure a just and thriving future for our children. I’ll be assessing parties and candidates on their commitment to tackling this issue head-on as equal partners with municipalities. There will be costs and tradeoffs to addressing climate change, but there will be catastrophic and irreversible costs if we don’t address this threat head-on.
Investing in local communities builds a better Canada, and this election season, I encourage you to assess each platform with this question in mind: Will this policy help my community and my city thrive?

First illustrated by Jean Charlot (1949) and then by Leo and Diane Dillon (2001) and now reimagined by Pizzoli, Brown’s enduring classic follows two distinct trains on their journeys west.
“Two little trains / went down the track, / two little trains went West. // PUFF PUFF PUFF / CHUG CHUG CHUG / two little trains to the West.” Over hills and through rain, snow, night, and wind, the trains—one a steam engine, the other a streamliner—travel. Brown uses onomatopoeia to punctuate the narrative while Pizzoli exploits it to differentiate the two locomotives. He makes every spread a visual play on contrasts, from the different train stylizations and type styles (sans serif for the streamliner’s “PUFF” and serif for the steam engine’s “CHUG”) to the complementary color palettes. The bold illustrations, created with rubber stamps and Photoshop, are done in a simplified style. Accessible, appealing, and understandable, both artwork and text are deceivingly simple, belying the sophisticated nature of each. Lively, rhythmic, and often rhyming text propels trains and readers down the tracks while evocative descriptions work within the confines of a few phrases per page. Skillfully designed and composed, Pizzoli’s cheerful interpretation is thoroughly modern and charming.
Swoonworthy for train lovers and preschoolers alike.(Picture book. 3-7)

Nala — Water Travels
????, Fire Season, Stasis Week
1626, Fire Season, Stasis Week, Fire Day [[[s01:session-36|Session 36]]]
There was a fight, and wolves, and a burned wolf to tend to, one of the Telmori, and then there was further exploration of the cave. At the back there was the ledge where the troll Draznk had been camped, and had kept his food and his Humakti prisoner, and there was the pool that was the start of the salt spring – the tears of the goddess. There was also a narrow tunnel through to where the missing youth, Minstar, was found. The place sent prickles up Nala’s spine, although not in a terrible way. It was… odd. And so was Minstar, a strangely familiar mix of extreme nervous youth, and confident, energetic speech. He invited Nala to stay a little while, as the others were leaving, but he was not leaving the cave, until the villagers had come up here to see the new cave through the narrow passage. He called himself the shaman here, but he seemed about fifteen.
Nala accepts, graciously, and asks to be introduced to the cave. Also, she tells him, he has done exceedingly well, and it is a story she will tell henceforth.
Minstar smiles a very young smile. “The best place to meet the Ancestors should be out here,” he says, and the smile vanishes as he looks around the rocky cave full of discarded, chewed skeletons. “But the First Ancestor would like to meet you, and he doesn’t leave his place.” Where there is not natural or magical light, he has put torches to light the way, and he gestures towards them, then bows a farewell to the bones.
“I can burn the bones if you like. I got rid of some skeletons that way. But I do not know your customs. I would be honoured to meet the First Ancestor.”
Minstar winces, and shakes his head. “No. I need to put them back.” He says. “The ones the killer brought here, we can burn. But some…” His emotions are easily readable, and for a moment he is almost in tears. “They had been here at peace for so many years, and then… HIM.” He backs away a little, and then uses that motion to turn and walk further into the cave, towards the little, low tunnel.
“Ah, I see.” Nala also bows, and then looks at the tunnel. “Very much a psychopomp’s tunnel.” She observes. “Um…you may have to pull me if I get stuck. I’m a bit tall.” She follows him through, slowly, so as not to humiliate herself or the First Ancestor.
“It’s big enough,” says Minstar. “Your friends came through in armour, to find me.” And indeed, the tunnel is wide enough, because it does not bend sharply, and the muddy, rocky bottom of it has at least had the sharpest rocks cleared away. There is a pile of rocks close to the entrance that Minstar looks at in sorrow and distaste. “One of my uncles is under there. The troll used his body.” Other than a single torch, the cave is dark now.
Nala stands up when free of the tunnel, and lets her sight acclimate to the lack of light, in her heart wishing she were in the desert, travelling at night, to need it.
Minstar steps into the cave, and around him and before Nala, shapes begin to cluster. Six or seven, wavering and filling in, and glowing a little, providing light from themselves, which casts strange shadows on the boy, and darkens his face. They do not seem hostile, although if they were this would be a perfect time and place for an ambush.
Nala watches quietly. Maybe her feet itch to dance the patterns of light in shadow, but the floor is uncertain so she doesn’t move much, just pulsing her weight from one foot to another
Faces form in the dimness, and become solid enough to move. A seties of smoke-made people bow, and then as one they turn to Minstar. “They can’t really speak like this,” he says. “Their bodies were hurt, but one will be able to. Still…” He bows to each, and says, “Honoured elders, this is a shaman, Nala daughter of Palliayanari.” He nearly gets the pronunciation right. “She is a friend and comes as a friend. We are going to Huljeem.” That’s a Praxian name, right there. “If you want to touch them, they’ll be able to talk,” Minstar adds. “But I’m new to this. There’s a lot I keep forgetting.”
“I am only someone with incomplete studies, not a full shaman,” says Nala softly.”Minstar, if you would prefer, and have the time, I can leave my body here and go to Huljeem in spirit form. But it will take a while.” She pauses and thinks. ” inasmuch as time exists in here, anyway.” Nala walks forward and bows to each of the forms in turn, offering her hand to be touched but not imposing herself.
The spirits touch, and each takes a more solid form. An old man in the armour of generations before, a woman with dozens of square bangles, a judgemental, sour-looking androgyne with Air Runes glowing on the forehead, a slim, steady, slow bearded man with a staff… Their names sound Sartarite, their accents sound old, and one, Urulisa, great-grandmother of Minstar all on the Ernaldan side, kisses Nala’s cheeks for being one who saved the youngling.
“In spirit form would probably be better,” says Minstar. “But he can talk. He’s old and powerful. I don’t know. I never did it all before now, and now I have to learn to do it all.”
“Would it help if I tried to explain as I went through the discorporation? Since I didn’t complete my training I only do so with the blessing of the earth. Generally I dance myself into a trance, and generally Tiwr and Zinat watch over my body.
“There is a breed of earth shamans in Prax who teach. I studied with them, and high priestess Kalis has, as well. But I don’t have a fetch, and it is a small cult and hard to find. I was studying and then…” she pauses. “Then Argrath happened.” She smiles a tiny smile. “He came looking for the daughters of Palliyarai. There was only me.”
Nala kneels before Urulisa and thanks her for her blessing. (If she can, she will detach one of her buckles and offer it to the woman with the bangles. She will switch to Earthtongue for speaking with the spirits.)
The male spirits look rather confused by Earth-tongue, but all of them are polite.
Minstar comes forward to hold the offerings, and say, “I will give these to your bodies, Revered Ones,” with a bow. He holds them palm up, once they have agreed that he should hold them, and says, “I will do this while you enter the spirit world. This is important too.”
Minstar will mostly be tidying up the Ancestor Bones, I suspect. He’s got a lot of things that are screamingly important. ))
Zinat will recognise the chanting and pad in as Nala leaves her body, to guard it. Zinat knows better than to chew on bones she hasn’t been told she can chew on.
Minstar takes a little time to see Nala has everything she needs – yes – and then a while later there is an awareness that he is gone, and then no awareness, just the movement and the dance, and the opening of the other world.
Within the spirit world, the cave is a bright smear within which Nala moves, with sparkles of light and water and earth and water and swords and water. It has some depth to it. There is a ‘deeper’ dimension here, within which something waits. That something has fire and sky, fire and sky, purity, age. It too is touched by the water here, but it is far more focused than the cave.
Around Nala, the ancestors, pale sketches of what they were, some torn and hurt, gather. In this world they are much more clear, and their voices are quiet but pure. Some of them do speak earth tongue, and from others there is probably spirit speech but it is hard to be certain, because there are rather more of them than she saw before, at least two dozen, some very calm, almost faded. All are speaking, but they are speaking over each other, and not all to Nala. It is more a murmur than a babble, a background noise from which it is hard to extract any comprehensible words.
Nala closes her eyes and listens, trying to separate the different strains as if they were music she must dance to. When she does, she opens her eyes, bowing to the strands of the threnody, and the mouths the diffent parts of music come from. Even in the spirit world her feet are dancing, sketching various forms of respect, especially to the female spirits.
The spirits join in briefly, and some seem to be brightening slowly, maybe waxing rather than waning, but then there is a stirring from the depths of the cave, and they slow and pause, and cease their flitter, and they too bow. There is a long waiting moment, and the rhythm of it is such that it must be filled.
Nala will turn and face the depths of the cave, and flow into a bow. She will switch joyfully to Praxian, then repeat in earthtongue. “Huljeem. I am Evranala of the Unicorn, daughter of Palliyarai, daughter of (ooc : short recital of lineage). I am told by Minstar you wish to speak me. I am honoured.
Having gestured an invitation into the waiting pause, the huntress prepares to wait.
In halting Earthtomgue, comes a reply. “Huljeem son of Hanrullh bid you welcome. Urulissa…” And a fluid moment of spirit speech, and the named spirit translates, “He invites you in, begs you to be his guest in his humble place, far from home, is sorry for the disturbances here.”
Nala walks forward, slowly, placing each foot on the earth, with the air of a pilgrim. She crosses the threshold with lowered head, then looks to meet Huljeem’s gaze
Huljeem’s shape here is a spirit made of blue light, resting within the centre. On his brow is a crown of jagged teeth in the shape of water runes, and the water flows over him as a cloak. He speaks, and Urulisa lets Nala know what he is saying, the gist of it Praxian even if the words are not. “Please have water. It is hot at noonday. Many years have passed since I have seen a child who has left footprints in the banks of Zola Fel.”
Nala smiles an actual happy smile. “I left my tribe on those banks only recently, and only at the request of my mother. And thank you. Though this cave is pleasant, water is always welcome in Fire Season.”
There is a sensation of refreshment more than a cessation of thirst. “Will you return once more to the river that loves all Prax, honoured child of maidens?”
“I can only hope to return to any part of Prax, noble Huljeem. With the sole exception of my life partner, my unicorn, my heart is torn when it is away.”
“May flowers spring in your footsteps, and rain follow your friends. Lord Huljeem begs that you will take a thing with you when you go.”
“If I may be of service to noble Huljeem, happily I will do so.”
“Long ago, as a young Priest I swore to find the body of the Lizard of Teeth and Salt, and I have, but here I died, and I rest. Take back my shoulder bone, with a message you will find on it, for the Priests of the Young City, and they will know that she is found.”
“I will do this for you, and for her, and if I find your kin I will tell them of Huljeem, who keeps the heart of the Zola Fel within him.” Nala wipes away a tear.
A tear within the spirit world glistens impossibly, staying within the air. Huljeem bows low, and puts his hand up to take it, a multi-faceted, tiny gemstone. “Your gift shames my generosity,” he says, translated. “Take with you also any other part of me, as a companion. Although my body is silent, I am ever here, a point to depart from.”
It is a long, long time since Nala heard this story, but it drifts back, a tale told between sacred rocks, over a fire pit that only burned in the spirit world. A chief who left his belongings to his children, and had nothing for Shaman Child, who came last, and so he gave her a fingerbone and a tooth, and she planted them for her Clan. And she took them herself, because they were given to her, and that is how to do it.
“Noble Huljeem, I will not take your breastbone, for the heart of Prax and the Zola Fel must remain protected. I will not take a foot bone, for you walked them here yourself, to find and discover, and I will not lessen the discovery. But I will take, if I may, a fingerbone and a tooth, for this is what was done in one of the first histories I learned when I learned to leave my body behind.
“Is there anything else I can do for you, farWanderer?”
“It is done,” says Huljeem, in Earthtongue, and falls silent.
“It is done,” repeats Nala in the same language. She waits a respectful amount of time, because rushing is for those who are bound in time, then walks backwards out of the cave, to thank Urulissa.
Urulisa, being a spirit, is both deep within the cave, and without it. She refuses thanks for service to the first of Ancestors, but she does ask you to keep an eye on Minstar and be she he dresses warmly here and eats well, and his mother should visit… And then that world begins to fade. Somehow Nala has spent longer there than she thought.
The bones, when Nala finds them in a small alcove in the back of the cave, are so old they look ready to crumble, and at least one of the teeth is loose in the skull already. The bone pile is dressed in clothes so old they are dust, and salt has settled on them. They do not break apart, however – whatever brought the Priest here still sustains him, perhaps.

The problem with this perspective is cancel culture isn’t real, at least not in the way people believe it is. Instead, it’s turned into a catch-all for when people in power face consequences for their actions or receive any type of criticism, something that they’re not used to. I’m a black, Muslim woman, and because of social media, marginalized people like myself can express ourselves in a way that was not possible before. That means racist, sexist, and bigoted behavior or remarks don’t fly like they used to. This applies to not only wealthy people or industry leaders but anyone whose privilege has historically shielded them from public scrutiny. Because they can’t handle this cultural shift, they rely on phrases like “cancel culture” to delegitimize the criticism.
There is an interesting article in today’s Business Day dealing with this question. It points out – as I have done elsewhere – that the ordinary laws of defamation applies to those who slander others on the Internet but that it would not always be possible to find those people when they act anonymously. Normally one would then be able to go after the company who facilitated the publishing of the alleged defamatory statements, but this is more difficult on the Internet.
The article points towards section 75 of the Electronic Communications and Transactions Act of 2002 , which protects service providers who host Blogs and websites from defamation suits.
The section states that such a service provider is not liable for damages arising from data stored at the request of the recipient of the service, as long as the service provider:
If a service provider takes down material that is not defamatory, such a service provider will not be liable to the Blogger for any damages. This means there is an incentive for a service provider to be “rather safe than sorry” and to take down material – even if it is unclear whether the material is really defamatory or not.
At the same time the section is helpful because it prevents pre-publication censorship. This leaves the Blogosphere relatively free and unregulated because it does not require service providers to act as policemen of the content of Blogs or websites that they host.
We can continue to write what we like until some pesky politician or judge gets upset and sends a removal notice. We can then alert the rest of the Blogosphere and the mainstream media and draw attention to the alleged defamatory remarks. This will almost always backfire and may well result in more harm to the person complaining, than if he or she had just let sleeping dogs lie. Maybe that is why they call the Blogosphere a democratic space?

Between 1909 and 1912, “photographer Sergei Mikhailovich Prokudin-Gorskii (1863-1944) undertook a photographic survey of the Russian Empire with the support of Tsar Nicholas II. He used a specialized camera to capture three black and white images in fairly quick succession, using red, green and blue filters, allowing them to later be recombined and projected with filtered lanterns to show near true color images. The high quality of the images, combined with the bright colors, make it difficult for viewers to believe that they are looking 100 years back in time – when these photographs were taken, neither the Russian Revolution nor World War I had yet begun.”
These images are now owned by the Library of Congress, which acquired the glass plates in 1948. Digital reproductions are available online.

May first of last year marked the comeback of a much anticipated exhibition in the pandemic-stricken art world. Boros Collection #4 couldn’t have been launched at a more fitting time – amidst the sudden wave of optimism following a two-year period of COVID-driven stagnation, we find ourselves crippled but devoutly yearning for a reappraisal of values and a rejuvenated sense of affirmation. Curated by Karen and Christian Boros, twenty-five contemporary artists reflect upon the marginal times we live in alongside the consequences of an ever-digitising world on our bodies and social dynamics. Relentless metamorphosis, alienation and isolation are part of the themes that frame the essence of the exhibition which takes place in a converted Second World War bunker and will be on display until 2026.
The works of more than twenty artists reside in the sanctuary of an impregnable bunker – a solitary construction of swingeing proportions turned visionary oasis. The tall, robust walls of the building trigger a sense of isolation and allude to bygone days of mass seclusion. Much like the etiquette rules we are instructed with upon entry into a gallery, the imperative here lies in the spirit of the setting, which demands a diversion of the senses in an inwards trajectory, towards the subject and the anima. Only those who have managed to uncloak themselves and stand defenceless and vulnerable in the most secure of buildings can relish the ingenuity of the art. The thorough selection of works here is not a mere aesthetic choice (though it certainly checks that box), but rather a narrative generator, at the heart of which lies the post-pandemic, technologically wired individual.
The somewhat lewd, yet captivating female sculptures of Anna Uddenberg are loud, weirdly realistic and almost tacky. Bent suggestively in half, a helmet-doning, fully clothed figure grips a selfie stick, hovering it over her privates; smartphones, however, are missing. This is not the case with Klára Hosnedlová’s painstakingly embroidered paintings which blend in effortlessly with the concrete walls they’re hung on. Part of the Czech artist’s Nest series, half-naked female bodies, each holding a smartphone, are carefully constructed via coloured cotton threads and mounted on terrazzo frames – Hosnedlová draws parallels between the iconic architecture of the Ještěd Tower in her home country and our highly digitalised world today. Berenice Olmedo’s kids’ leg braces demonstrate their haunted dance as they sporadically stand up and start walking – the Mexican artist’s take on technology in the absence of the human (contrary to Uddenberg‘s work which lacks the technological element). Both Olmedo and Uddenberg’s works puckishly interact with the audience in a game of fill-in-the-blanks, which leaves us wondering just how far we’ve gone in our insatiable quest for technological advancements and how long until we become ghosts in the shells of abandoned silicon and iron constructions. Similar themes are explored throughout by the likes of Anne Imhof, He Xiangyu, Bunny Rogers and other artists from all over the world.
The latest edition of Boros Collection stands shrewdly progressive and contemporary, and is a definite must-see for any passers-by. Scheduled to run for another 3 years, the exhibition has already established itself as an unparalleled cultural destination throughout the years – an aberrant echo of the present and an oracular peephole towards what’s to come.

Sakdipong Sirisuttinunt (Prem)
A costly medical operation or an expensive prescription may limit one’s access to living a long and healthy life. It seems disconcerting for a heart bypass surgical procedure to cost US$123,000 in the United States but only $15,000 in Thailand and $12,100 in Malaysia. This has resulted in many patients looking to undergo a medical procedure to travel abroad – what we know now as Medical Tourism.
The increase in the number of medical tourists has certainly brought growth to the industry. However, whether this expansion represents a positive or negative trend remains a matter of great debate. If the destination country has a large inflow of medical tourists, what is the opportunity cost of accepting these foreign patients? If the outbound countries are mainly MEDCs, why are people traveling to less developed nations for a necessity? This essay will explore these questions at hand, examining “destination countries” in Southeast Asia and “origin countries” such as the United States, and the threat that drug monopolies pose to this industry.
Comparison of global drug prices
Government Intervention in Medical Tourism
Southeast Asia’s medical tourism industry has been growing rapidly in recent decades, affecting both the origin and destination country’s economy. Whilst increases in the quality of life for patients and rising rankings in well-being indexes may be beneficial for both countries, critics remain skeptical due to the potential implications for domestic medical industries. Some fear that the flood of foreigners into developing countries will divert money and expertise away from state health care systems. Others claim that outbound medical tourists may act as a distraction from their countries' need to improve the quality of medical services.
Thailand and Malaysia are the two medical tourism hotspots in Southeast Asia. Since both are developing countries, are critics right to suggest that their governments choose to divert expertise away from state health care systems?
In Thailand, upon the completion of a 6-year medical programme, medical graduates are required to undergo a 3-year internship programme at an assigned public hospital. If a graduate chooses not to or fails to complete his/her internship, he/she will have to pay a fine of 400,000 Baht (apx 9,900 GBP). However, the current government intends to increase this penalty to 2.5 million Baht (apx 62,000 GBP). Instead of diverting medical expertise away from the state health care system, it appears that the Thai government is trying to compel doctors to work in public hospitals.
Furthermore, in Malaysia, a similar law is also in place where medical graduates must complete a 2-year compulsory service to their country. Both governments are putting in effort to sustain the supply of doctors working in public hospitals and support the state health care system. Therefore, the statement from the critics mentioned earlier may not always hold true. It is possible for governments to set rules and regulations which ensure that medical tourism does not negatively affect the state of public health services.
Country of Origin
Using the United States as a case study – 1.6 million Americans travelled abroad for medical-related purposes in 2012. Research has found that “prescription drugs can be as much as 45% less expensive in Canada and France, and physicians in Thailand make less than one-tenth the salary of their American counterparts”.
Price is a key factor that drives many Americans to seek medical treatments abroad, but this is not the only factor. Time also plays a part. People looking to undergo a non-urgent surgery may be placed on waitlists of hospitals and queued up before getting an operation scheduled. A long waitlist may, as a result, affect an individual’s decision on whether to queue-up in his/her home country or to pay an extra sum of money for a fast-track operation abroad.
However, buying a fast-track ticket to have a procedure done abroad may not always be a wise decision to make. A research article conducted on medical tourism in 2016 stated that complications from a rise in inbound medical operations are causing direct costs to taxpayers and affecting the healthcare access for local citizens. Given that hospitals and clinics have a capacity limit, complications that require immediate attention may be given priority, resulting in a pushback on the waitlist for other locally scheduled operations.
Whilst some travel abroad to undergo a complex medical procedure, others do so just for a simple drug prescription. Using Thailand as an example, the country has recently experienced a rise in a niche market: human immunodeficiency viruses HIV prevention.
PrEP and PEP are drugs that, if used correctly, can prevent one from contracting an HIV infection. A month's supply of these medications can cost anywhere between $2,000 in the United States to only $20 in Thailand. PrEP/PEP is not one specific pill but a family of drugs with similar abilities. Truvada, for example, is one of the few approved PrEP/PEP drugs manufactured by Gilead biotechnology to be allowed for consumption in the United States. There are five Tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF) drugs currently on the market – Viread, Atripla, Complera, Stribild, and Truvada – all made by Gilead Sciences.
Activists protest Gilead’s PrEP monopoly
Being called “an example of monopoly abuse,” Gilead has been accused of intentionally delaying the development of a new drug to manipulate its eligibility for a drug patent extension.9 Since the United States enables drug manufacturers to hold exclusive rights in producing a filed drug for 20 years, assuming the patent is extended, Gilead will have the ability to gain monopoly profit from its product, Truvada, for a longer period of time before going off patent and facing generic competition. With it having full control over the market for HIV-prevention drugs, Gilead is a price maker where the company itself is the whole industry. The lack of competition faced by Gilead has enabled the company to charge their customers, who rely on their drugs, the highest possible prices.
According to Gilead, 112 countries, including Thailand, in the “TDF Territory” are able to distribute generic drugs manufactured by independent companies given that they pay a 3-5% royalty on net sales to Gilead.11 This results in brands such as Teno-EM and Tenof EM which cost $15.85 and $12.14 respectively (as of 2020) for a month’s supply to be widely available in TDF Territory nations such as Thailand. The 112 countries on the TDF Territory list are mostly LEDCs and developing countries in Africa and Southeast Asia; thus, absentees such as South Korea, China, UK, US, and other MEDCs do not have access to these cheap substitutes.
Given that Thailand is on the list where consumers can purchase relatively cheaper HIV-prevention drugs, medical tourists may be encouraged to travel to Thailand for their supply of such medications. With the Thai Red Cross being both the forefront provider of HIV-related medications and the operator of the King Chulalongkorn Memorial Hospital, the income accumulated from medical tourists may be used to fund the organization’s public hospital in ways which will benefit the state healthcare system.
South Korea is in an interesting position where the country is not on the TDF Territory list, but the national insurance covers PrEP/PEP for people with HIV-positive partners. This means that even though the cost is high, insurance can cover a percentage of it if and only if the consumer has a high risk of contracting the virus. Some may argue that insurance should fully cover the cost of PrEP/PEP regardless of a consumer’s partner HIV status; however, this strategy may encourage citizens to be more risk averse and to better utilize protective measures such as condoms or dental dams.
The debate on whether PrEP/PEP should be fully covered by state and private insurance continues as new reports regarding such matter are constantly being published. In 2013, a research paper concluded that “risk behavior was not a consequence of PrEP use”. Five years later, a contradicting paper was published stating that “PrEP…was accompanied by an equally rapid decrease in consistent condom use, which could undermine PrEP’s effectiveness.”
The lack of supporting research may limit one in drawing a decisive conclusion on whether the introduction of PrEP encourages citizens to be more risk adverse. In the United Kingdom, where PrEP/PEP are not yet fully covered by the state, the NHS has reported that even if it has legal power to commission PrEP, there was “no guarantee that the annual prioritization round would result in a decision to invest millions of pounds in PrEP over new treatments and interventions in other service areas which are also competing for funding.” It is the matter of a country’s opportunity cost to whether cover PrEP/PEP prescriptions for its citizen.
Map indicating countries where PrEP has been approved
The rise of the market for medical tourism demands both outbound and destination countries to take responsive action. Countries should consider implementing relevant measures to ensure maximum satisfaction for both the economy and the people. Destination countries should respond in a way that lowers the opportunity cost of accepting foreign visitors, and origin countries should ensure that health facilities can accommodate all patients and their procedures.
Despite monopolies and cartels being labeled as illegal entities in an economy, Gilead and other drug giants are still able to allegedly abuse their monopoly power on drugs which may prevent one from contracting a fatal disease. Consequently, all governments must draft a set of policies through measures, such as insurance control, to ensure that price is not a factor prohibiting one’s access to living.

It is one thing to come up with targets to reduce carbon emissions, but quite another to fulfill them, according to Foreign Affairs critic for the Opposition, Tony Clement.
The Parry Sound-Muskoka Member of Parliament applauded all of the countries that signed on to the Paris accord on December 12. “It’s always amazing when you can get 195 countries to agree to anything,” said Clement.
The targets that are embodied in the COP21 agreement, the Paris agreement, are similar to the ones that we as the Harper government proposed for Canada via the 30 per cent reduction in emissions by 2030. So obviously I support that stance within Canadian government.MP and Foreign Affairs Critic Tony Clement
Now the work begins, said Clement of meeting those targets. He said the heavy lifting will come as the Federal government tries to get the provinces, civil society and businesses on side. “And whatever we do, just to put a bit of a local spin on it, it has to be done in such a way that people are not taxed out of their houses to pay for the heating costs. I want to see us meet these targets but at the same time it has to be done in such a way so that it’s not punishment for people of limited means.”
Clement said Ontario’s talk of a cap and trade approach to emissions would mean the cost would be passed on to the consumer.
I’m not saying it shouldn’t happen or couldn’t happen, but we have to watch out for certain externalities to make sure we don’t create losers that are people of limited means. I feel strongly about that in our own community but also across Canada, too.Clement
He said the triumph of the Paris agreement, as opposed to the Kyoto and Copenhagen agreements, is that it has managed to persuade developing countries to sign on and they represent a greater source of new emissions. The deal would see developed countries such as Canada help less developed countries with the transition that will be required to meet their targets as well as climate change adaptation costs.
“I don’t have a problem with some of that. The Harper government had put in about 1.5 billion dollars notionally to that, Mr. Trudeau has doubled that amount. The only concern I raise is that I find it a bit odd that within the lesser developed countries who are going to get these subsidies are countries like China and India who in my mind are not lesser developed countries. They’re quite rich countries and the reason they are emitting a lot more carbon is because they are hugely growing economies. Everybody having to meet a target is the right idea,” he concluded, but reiterated that how those targets are met are some of the issues that will have to be discussed in Parliament. He said he looks forward to those discussions.

There is no such thing as a pretty good omelette.
The newest edition to South Loop dining, Brasserie by LM must have a perfect understanding of this proverb.
Yesterday was opening day for the restaurant and we couldn’t wait to check it out. Located at the Essex hotel, in the space formerly occupied by Tribute, Brasserie kept much of the look Tribute created. They replaced the couches in the windows with hi-top tables and moved the film strip chandeliers to the back of the restaurant. They also expanded the seating a little more by replacing the large table that was under the largest chandelier with a few smaller tables and opening up the private dining room for every day use, I believe this can still be closed off for private parties.
The staff was warm and welcoming. They are very excited to become part of the South Loop.
There are only three specialty cocktails on the menu. I hope this will expand. The Orange Martini was very well balanced. It is comprised of vodka, orange liqueur, and champagne. It was neither boozy, too sweet, nor too sparkly and it paired very well with chocolate.
The Twisted Frenchy; St. Germaine, Champagne, and Chambord was more on the sweet side, due to the Chambord, but also very good.
Some companions of mine enjoyed both the charcuterie plate and the cheese plate.
The cheese plate came with fig spread and candied pecans. The charcuterie came with mustard. My companions were pleased with the variety of flavors and one especially liked the spicy salami. We noticed that the prosciutto was sliced thicker than normal, but agreed that it was easier to handle that way and just as tasty.
One dish I did enjoy a few bites of was the Macaroni Gratin. It was heavenly. I think the picture speaks for itself!
For dessert I asked for the Crème Brulee, but they had sold out so I tried the Chocolate Mousse.
My mom and I spent a semester in Paris when I was in Jr. High. During that stay everytime we would go out to dinner for dessert I would order mousse au chocolat, to the point that my sister still teases me from time to time. I had it a few times after we returned to the states, but stopped eating it shortly after. Last night I figured out why! Brasserie has the chocolate mousse I remember from Paris. I have never had such a prime example in the states. It’s served with fresh, unsweetened whipped cream. The mousse is rich with flavor and its texture is smooth and thick. The key is in the texture.
Brasserie serves the same menu for lunch and dinner, but the bartender informed us that there is a breakfast menu from 6:30–11:00 including Julius Meinl coffee, crepes, and of course omelets.
If you are still reading and haven’t run out the door to try this amazing food for lunch yet there is one more great reason, the prices! The cocktails are $9 and so were the cheese plate and charcuterie plate. The Macaroni Gratin and Chocolate Mousse were only $5.
I’m looking forward to the warm weather to return and stay so I can enjoy an afternoon at an outdoor table with an Orange Martini and some Chocolate Mousse. Hope you can join me!

If there are questions that are not addressed here, please feel free to contact us, and we will be happy to answer them!
Q: Is my first appointment going to involve surgery?
A: For the vast majority of patients the answer is no, although there are rare exceptions when Dr. Ritter chooses to do a procedure in the office during the first visit. These exceptions are almost always for small non-melanoma skin cancers, or are the result of a need for a further biopsy. Most first time appointments are strictly consultation appointments in order to determine the proper treatment, and to set up surgery when necessary.
Q: Can/Should I bring family along for my first appointment?
A: Dr. Ritter always prefers that patients are accompanied by either family or friends, and that they are present when he discusses your particular treatment(s) and your cancers future ramifications.
Q: Does the melanoma center accept my insurance?
A: The Melanoma Center of Hope accepts all insurances, even those for which it is not "in-network" with. Although we will accept and file to all insurances, we can not guarantee that we are either an "in-network" or "out-of-network" physician for your particular carrier and plan, or that your insurance will cover any portion of your visit and subsequent care. For these reasons we strongly recommend that you contact your insurance company before your first appointment with Dr. Ritter. Using the number located on the back of your insurance card, you can find out not only our status with your company, but also the exact terms of your coverage.

Bell's palsy is a nerve disorder that causes partial or slight paralysis on one side of the face. This mild facial paralysis may affect a person's smile, making it seem uneven or may prevent one eyelid from closing properly.
Bell's palsy usually occurs in adults. It develops suddenly and involves a problem with with 7th cranial nerve, that affects the muscles of the face.
The most common symptoms are inability to smile on one side of the face and inability to close one eyelid completely. The latter can lead to eye irritation or the feeling of something stuck in the eye.
People with Bell's palsy may experience facial numbness, although the skin usually retains some sensation. Pain may occur either before the paralysis begins or as it develops. Other symptoms may include: decreased tear production, blurry vision, diminished taste sensations, distortion or discomfort in hearing.
The cause of Bell's palsy is unknown, but it occurs more frequently in people who have diabetes, in those who have a family history of Bell's palsy and in pregnant women.
In over 80 percent of cases, Bell's palsy disappears on its own. This recovery process typically begins within 3 weeks of the disease's onset and is complete after two or three months. While symptoms improve, a small amount of subtle facial paralysis or movement irregularity may remain. In less than 20 percent of cases, symptoms of Bell's palsy do not get better.
Your eye doctor may have you use eye lubricants or drops regularly to prevent complications with eyesight. It is important to follow the doctor's instructions because when the eyelid does not close properly, it becomes vulnerable to irritarion, dryness and other problems.


Emerging worship and postmodern sermons
Last Sunday night I went to the youth service at the NG Kerk at Kameeldrift, where fellow-blogger Cobus van Wyngaard was preaching.
I calculated that it was 20 years since I’d last been to a Sunday service at an NG Kerk, when the husband of a colleague at work had been inducted as a youth minister, and since we are having a discussion about emerging church and worship next Sunday, I maybe had some catching up to do, and also thought it would be good to see where Cobus is coming from.
Kameeldrift NG Kerk is a 13 km drive from where I live, which takes about 15 minutes on a Sunday evening (though probably three times that on a weekday rush hour).
The first thing I noticed that was unusual was that they started with coffee — we usually have coffee afterwards. The service was in the hall, not in the church, and there were seats arranged in a semi-circle around a low platform. There were about 60-70 people present, most seemed to be in their late teens or early 20s, so I was probably the oldest person there.
Cobus gave an introduction. Over to the left was a table with candles which people could light (in my Orthodox habit, I had lighted one already. At the back were tables with paper people could write on, and another with the Bible texts for the evening – the parable of the man who found treasure in a field and sold everything he had to buy the field, and the one about the mustard seed growing into a bush that birds can nest in.
Cobus said that some music would be played, and while it was playing people could write whatever they liked on the paper, or write or paint anything that came to mind about the Bible texts.
I found it most interesting to listen to the music. They were meditative songs in folk-song style, one about crucified hands. I had not heard any of them before, and found them quite good.
Then Cobus preached, very well, I thought, on the two parables that had been written on the table. He did a kind of postmodern deconstruction job on them, which is best explained in his own words on his own blog in his post on Jesus and his stories.
I talked to Cobus afterwards, and he said one of the aims of the service was to try to introduce the youth in a more contemplative spirituality.
I looked in my diary to see what had changed in twenty years, and thought that the more historically-minded might find it interesting too, so I reproduce it here, not just the service at the NG Kerk at Villeria, but some of the other events of the day, so it shows the changes not only in the church, but in South African society as well.
Our daughter Bridget, who made theological comments, was then 11 years old. Now she is studying for her doctorate in theology at Athens University. I think many of the people at the service last Sunday weren’t even born then, and so it is a world they had never known. Martie Gerber was a c olleague of mine in the Editorial Department at the University of South Africa, as was Andre Goetz.
18-Sep-1988, SundayIn the morning we went to the Dutch Reformed Church in Villeria, where Martie Gerber’s husband Kobus was being installed as the new minister. The church was full, so we sat upstairs in the gallery, almost behind the pulpit. I was quite surprised to see Andre‚ Goetz sitting among the elders. Though he had spoken of his dominee before (quoting him as saying that people who don’t have software don’t have friends) I did not realise that he was so involved in the life of the church.
The service lasted a Protestant hour and Kobus preached on Revelation 13, very well, I thought. He spoke of the unholy trinity of the dragon, the beast
from the land and the beast from the sea, and said that they represented the devil’s plan to scatter the church and smash it. I became aware of how the division between the Nats and the Conservative Party must be putting strains on churches like this.
When we got outside Bridget said, “That wasn’t worship. Where was the worship.” And she was dead right. There was no worship, it was all instruction. It is less than a year since we joined the Orthodox Church, and Bridget rather reluctantly, but already she knows what worship is. We greeted Martie as we left, and I spent the rest of the morning working on the Iviyo report project.
In the afternoon Val and I went to Mamelodi, where David Bosch was speaking to the Koinonia Movement, which had been started by Nico Smith to encourage blacks and whites to have meals together.
Robin Briggs was there, and we spoke to him briefly. David Bosch spoke on justice and reconciliation, but did not say much that was new. There were questions and comments, and in some ways it was rather depressing. I have often felt helpless in the face of the political situation, and here it was obvious that others felt helpless too. They were whistling in the dark, and there we were, futilely trying to encourage each other. There was nothing wrong with anything that was said; it was just that I’d heard it all before, about people being followed by the SB, and telling how they had been harassed and intimidated.
We went home and I did more work on the Iviyo project, and had a look at Beltel, where the political discussions had zoomed off into the realms of fantasy, like one of Simon’s “he-man” stories, when Adrian Maritz suggested that elections should be held by getting all the politicians to have swords with electronic locks on the sheaths, so that they could show that they were intelligent enough to get the sword out first to butcher their opponents, and the other people were discussing it quite seriously, saying what would happen if someone didn’t try to open the lock, but hit the others over the head with the sheathed sword. Maritz said that such a procedure would ensure that leaders were both intelligent and strong. It throws an interesting light on the mentality of the Right — that they long for barbarian ages, and are barbarians at heart.
Another explanatory note: A few months later Adrian Maritz and his friend Henry Martin, both members of the far Right, were arrested, staged a hunger strike in jail, and skipped the country. They planted a bomb in a computer that killed some poor innocent techie in Durban who had been instructed to repair it.
Back to the future: Next Saturday Cobus has promised to come to Vespers at St Nicholas of Japan Orthodox Chuch in Brixton, Johannesburg, so it will be interesting to see what he says in his blog about that.


Why does my Audi A4 have a p0011 trouble code?
This is great for both power and fuel economy. If your A4 has the P0011 trouble code it will typically not pass the State emissions tests. The Audi A4 utilizes camshaft actuators to change the valve lift depending on the RPM of the motor. This allows for a more efficient cam profile at any speed.See all results for this questionWhat's the fuel pressure on a Toyota p310b?- The CURRENT FUEL PRESSURE (low pressure) was between 4.2 to 5.0 bar throughout the drive period.
