The Democratic party of Cambria county, in County Convention assembled, with a full representation from the people of every Township Borough and Ward in the County, do publish to the country the following declaration of their principles; appealing to the Supreme Ruler of the Universe for the rectitude of our intentions.Hey! Do I hear snickering? You promised!
We hold the Constitution of our country, in the language of Daniel Webster, to be "The Bond and the only Bond of the Union of those States;" and that in the language of that sacred Instrument, it was adopted to "secure the blessings of Liberty to ourselves and their posterity."
We hold further, that our national safety, nay, our very national existence depends on a strict and faithful adherence to its provisions; a just recognition of all its powers; and an equal respect for all the branches of our Government, Executive, Legislative, and Judicial, established by its provisions; and that the encroachments now made and suffered by the Legislative and Executive departments, upon the Judiciary, must if persisted in. end in the subversion of the liberties of the people.
We hold that no State or States have the Constitutional right, to secede from the Union; and that our Government has ample power under the Constitution to quell insurrection and put down rebellion; to punish rebellion. where it exists, and at the same time to preserve the rights of the citizen where no rebellion exists.
We hold also, that the Constitution as it came from the hands of its framers, and was adopted by the respective States, was intended for the Government of the Union, through all time, in prosperity and in adversity, in peace and in war ; and that if in times of peace it was regarded as the cheet-anchor of our liberties; for a far stronger reason should we recur to it tried and sacred authority, in the present fearful crisis of our affairs.
So holding, it is by this convention unanimously Resolved:
That we, as a portion cf the Sovereign People are unwilling to concede to any power, military or civil, the rights and immunities we have heretofore enjoyed under the Constitution of our country; but have assembled as of old to express in fearless, but respectful terms, our sentiments in regard, to our once happy country, in this hour of her distress and humiliation.
Resolved, That we believe that that these States to be sovereign except in so far as they have conferred power on the general Government, by the letter and spirit of the Constitution.
Resolved, That "The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people;" and that "The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States are reserved respectively, or to the people.
Resolved: That "the privilege of the writ of habeas corpus [should] not be suspended, unless when in crises of rebellion or invasion the public safety may require it;" and, therefore, the arrest of Hon. Clement L. Vallandigham, a citizen of the sovereign State of Ohio, where neither rebellion nor invasion existed, is a flagrant violation of the Constitution.
Resolved; That "Congress (should) make no laws respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise there of; or abridging the Freedom of speech, or of the Press: or of the right of the people peaceably to assemble;" Therefore, the act of Congress known as the indemnity act, authorizing the President to do these illegal and unconstitutional acts, and indemnifying him for those heretofore done, is in contravention of the Constitution.
Resolved, That the Constitution provides, that, "the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed;" and any order contravening this provision is unconstitutional.
Resolved, That we appeal to that clause of our Constitution which provides that, "The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, unreasonable searches and seizures shall not be violated and no warrant shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by oath or affirmation;" and deny to any power the right to make arrests, otherwise than as provided by the Constitution, in any at the States of this Union, not now in rebellion.
Resolved, That the Constitution has wisely provided, that, No person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime, unless on a presentment or indictment of a Grand Jury, except in cases arising in the land or naval forces, or in the Militia, when in actual service in time of war and public danger." "nor be deprived of life, liberty or property without due process of law;" and hence the arrest of citizens, in States in which there is no rebellion, contrary to the forms of law, and without process of any kind, are clearly violations of the Constitution.
Resolved; That the Constitution further provides that, "In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial by a impartial jury of the State and district wherein the crime shall have been committed, which district shall previously have been ascertained by law, and to be informed of the nature and cause of the accusation; to be confronted with the witnesses against him;" and all arrests and proceedings, in peaceable States, contrary to these provisions are in derogation of the constitutional rights of the citizens and fatal to constitutional liberty.
Resolved, That we hold the Constitution not to be a "fair weather" instrument; but the Magna Charta of the citizen, his chart in sunshine and in storm--in war and in peace;--and anything that cannot be preserved under its provisions, is not worth preserving. . .
Resolved, That we, in Common with the Democratic masses of the North, implore the authorities of the nation, to cease their assaults upon the rights of the free people of the North, to bring their war measures back to that condition which fanaticism compelled them to depart from; and in the future, to prosecute it for the restoration of the Constitution as it is, and the Union as it was."
Resolved, That nothing less will satisfy the Democrats than a Union of the thirty four States, under the Constitution, as they were before the rebellion commenced.
Resolved, That in the language of our fellow citizens, of Syracuse, New York we protest against the seizure, trial, and sentence pronounced upon Clement L. Vallandigham, and against all similar seizures, trials, and decrees, as subversive of the fundamental principles of American liberty; as tending to universal anarchy and disorder; as inaugurating a reign of terror and despotism forbidden by the very charter by which government here exists; as a public declaration and example on the part of the federal authorities, that the Constitution having ceased to bind them, has ceased to hold allegiance to them; and, as leading necessarily, to the disturbance of our peace and to probable collisions, involving ruin alike to our country, our institutions, ourselves and our posterity; and in this belief we but discharge our duty as citizens in demanding that the federal authorities revoke the sentence so unwarrantly pronounced against Vallandigham; that it restore him to his family and home, and to the freemen of Ohio, and that it refrain from all similar proceedings in future, to the end that alike the people and the Government may be preserved from farther injury.
Resolved, That we deem the only salvation of our country to depend on a restoration of the Democratic party to power; a party whose principles had conducted our country to the summit of greatness; and to whose past history we proudly refer, as containing all that is proud and glorious as the career of a once happy country.
Resolved; That the Democratic party are now, as they ever have been, opposed to all secret political organizations, no matter by what specious name they may have been known, as dangerous to the liberties of the people; and are unalterably opposed to all such whether known as' Knights of the Golden circle, Union Leagues. Know-Nothing or Jacobin Clubs.
Resolved; That our sincerest thanks are tendered to our gallant soldiers who have distinguished themselves on the battle field of the nation; and no opinions ours on the manner in which the war has been conducted, or the purposes for which it is which it is now prosecuted, shall ever prevent the Democracy of Cambria county from awarding them the meed of praise which is so justly their due.
Resolved; That we welcome home, with the sincerest feelings of regard for their patriotism and bravery, the gallant Cambrians now returning from the field of strife; and sympathize with those whose friends have fallen in defence of the flag of our common country.
Resolved; That the course cf William A. Wallace, our Senator; and Cyrus L Pershing our Representative, merits and receives earnest commendation.
Resolved; That the wanton destruction of the Monitor Press at Huntingdon, is but another evidence of the madness and folly inaugurated in high places; and we tender the Democracy of Huntingdon our sympathy for the outrage to which they have been subjected.
On motion the Convention adjourned to meet no more.
- Democrat and Sentinel, Ebensburg, PA. Wednesday, May 27, 1863. Vol. 10---No. 25. Pg. 2.

Power in the people is like light in the sun, native, original, inherent and unlimited by any thing human. In governors, it may be compared to the reflected light of the moon; for it is only borrowed, delegated, and limited by the intention of the people…
James Burgh, Political Disquisitions
Unless we learn the lesson that James Burgh is trying to teach us in this quote – and get it ingrained in our minds and our hearts – it may be impossible for us to regain our freedom in this country. Over the years we’ve allowed most of our politicians to develop a smug attitude of superiority as if they are a part of a special, protected class of people.
When a person is elected to political office, he is taking a step down – not up. That person is becoming a servant, not a master. But somehow – as citizens – we let ourselves get pushed around by the various political institutions of this country rather than banding together and reminding our politicians who is really in charge.
The truth of the matter is that all political power originates in the people. So to whatever extent our politicians do have power, they only have it because we have allowed them to borrow it. The people who run our government are not born with special powers of judgement or wisdom that makes them uniquely qualified to tell us how to live our lives. So why do we sit back and accept it when they try to tell us what we can eat, what we must buy, or what we should feed our kids?
None of this should be construed to mean that we shouldn’t give our politicians the respect they deserve. But we have to avoid putting them on a pedestal too easily. A person should never be considered special just because he’s a member of Congress.
In his book Epic of America, James Trunslow Adams uses an anecdote that perfectly illustrates how we as citizens ought to react to public officials who start to get too impressed with their own power:
To a crowd that pressed too closely on a political procession, a gentleman at the head had called out, “Make way for the representatives of the people!” “Make way yourself!” was thundered back. “We are the People themselves.”
We must never underestimate the position of authority we hold as citizens of this country. Looking at our politicians as if they are somehow better or more important than we are is not the mindset of a free people – it is a mindset that leads to slavery. So every time a politician throws his weight around with us, our response ought to be, “Don’t you know who I am? I’m a citizen… and any power you have is because you are borrowing it from me.”

Japanese Kobe Steel has developed a lightweight kind of aluminium which is as hard as regular steel but can be easily moulded into unconventional shapes.
The idea is to use porous aluminium in automobiles. Because it is so comparably light the researchers believe it could drastically reduce the carbon footprint of new cars. It costs less than aluminium sheeting or composite carbon fiber and could begin production as soon as April, reports Nikkei (subscription).
Despite all the fancy green tech gizmos a vehicle packs, when it comes down to it weight is a serious sticking point for how well a car can curb its emissions. Foam resin is placed between two 0.15mm aluminium sheets and then heated at over 200 Celsius – the result is a material as hard as steel but only 3mm thick. It is highly malleable and can be rolled and curved but its material strength means it’s tough to bend out of shape.
Kobe Steel says porous aluminium is up to 80 percent lighter than steel and 60 percent lighter than regular aluminium. The problem is the material can’t be welded together, it has to be riveted – Kobe hopes to flog it to manufacturers to roll out on vehicle interiors.
At least for this purpose Kobe may cut competition out of the market: In Japan, the average selling price for regular aluminium per square metre is over 2,000 yen or roughly $25. Kobe will sell its porous aluminium at 1,500 yen or $18 per square metre – vastly cheaper than the useful but expensive composite carbon fiber.
Yesterday evening saw Silicon Valley’s arrival in that beautiful city of academia, cycling, student binge drinking and no speed cameras Oxford. Entrepreneurs took to the stage at Said Business School on each side of the argument: “Silicon Valley is dead; Long live Green Valley” at the Oxford Union.
LinkedIn founder Reid Hoffman and commentator Mike Malone took the side of Silicon Valley, defending the “enduring and resilient phenomenon”. And it is still thriving because of its attitudes towards profitability, compared with the “utopian visions and government dreams” of green tech. “Most of these companies will never be profitable,” Malone said.
The argument heated as panelists went head to head. Oxford Professor Malcolm McCulloch, who is behind four clean technology companies, said that there can’t be a localised form of innovation: “It has to be global – it has to be for everybody, in every place.” Responding to Reid Hoffman, who lauded Silicon Valley for opportunities given to young hackers, McCulloch said: “Would you want a 17 year old hacker in charge of your light, or your food chain? Green needs PhDs; I would like to see a world where the best minds are not trying to invent the best games.”
Google was there too. And they’ll all be attending another event today, from 1pm onwards at the Said business school in Oxford, as the home of the Ashmolean and one of the world’s most prestigious universities “welcomes” Silicon Valley. We will be there.
Sanyo has finished its Kasai Green Energy Park in Hyogo Prefecture, Japan, which will open official on the 22nd of October this year. The idea is that it will be a base for Sanyo’s green technology developments to be showcased to potential customers.
It is chock full of Sanyo kit, including a PV installation which uses HIT solar cells at a 1MW output, what it says is the largest scale 1.5MWh lithium-ion battery system for power storage, an energy management system which keeps an eye on the goings on in the park and a smart energy system which makes sure it’s running efficiently.
Sanyo’s R&D team is in Japan – fiercely loyal thanks to corporate culture in the company, a spokesperson tells us – so it’ll be good for Sanyo to have what is essentially a gigantic, working showroom demonstrate how its technology can work in tangible terms.
Sanyo is aggressively pushing its photovoltaic systems globally, particularly targeting the high end residential market which can afford its kit – its latest line of cells are designed for high efficiency and rate of return on a relatively small surface area.

Fifty may be the new forty, but it still feels suddenly different—ok, old— to many of us. I’m always wary of sweeping generalizations, but judging from conversations among my peers at a gym in West Hartford Center, many of us fifty-somethings have a significantly different definition of happiness than we did when we were in our late teens and twenties.
The interesting thing about my gym group is that it’s not really a group—just an eclectic assortment of individuals whose backgrounds cut across social, ethnic, racial, and religious lines, who happen to share some level of commitment to health and physical activity, and who sometimes talk to one another in various combinations while we’re working out. We may not know each other’s last names, but some of us feel very close.
What many of us are talking about as we straddle the half-century mark and straddle the adductor machine is a reassessment of our values, goals, and dreams for the future. Maybe there’s something for college bound teens to learn from such discussion, specifically in the neat summary provided by the guy working out next to me: “I’m happy, focused on just trying to live in the full knowledge of my shortcomings.”*
Now there’s something you wouldn’t hear from a high school senior or a college freshman. Teens and twenty-somethings (my 1980s self included) tend to look outside themselves to define what happiness means for them: attending the right college or graduate school, landing the right job, falling in love with the right person and starting a family, owning the right car or house. While these are laudable goals we can all relate to, notice how all of them involve EXTERNAL realities. The school, the job, the spouse, the car, the house….all these exist outside yourself. What about developing, as Thoreau said in Walden, and as my workout buddy suggests, your own “few cubic feet of flesh”?
Where does that figure in your vision of happiness? It’s like the notion of giving up looking for Mrs. Right and focusing instead on becoming Mr. Right. That’s when Mrs. Right suddenly appears.
By living in the full knowledge of his shortcomings, my friend was gesturing toward INTERNAL, rather than external, criteria for happiness. He was suggesting that he has spent some time reflecting on his character, who he is, what he believes in, what he’s good at, and, significantly, what he’s not so good at—his limits, his “shortcomings.” Taking stock of himself, he finds happiness—peace, contentment, a sense of satisfaction, joy—from moving through life with that understanding, being responsible for the energy he brings to each new situation, using his strengths to help and keeping his character defects in check.
I would encourage you to set some goals that come from internal promptings rather than external. Ask yourself, who am I? What are my strengths? What are my weaknesses? What and how can I contribute to any given situation? Rather than focusing on what you can GET out of any situation, think like a 50-year-old: what can I contribute to any given situation? Or, in the famous words attributed to Winston Churchill, “We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give.”
Finally, from the perspective of a teen or twenty-something, here’s the best part, if you can trust a bunch of fifty year olds: the more you attend to inner measures of happiness, the more external signs of happiness—the schools, the spouses, the jobs, the cars, the houses—you will likely accrue simply as byproducts of leading a well-lived life. That’s when Mrs. Right appears.
*If you like this idea, you might enjoy a book I’m currently reading called F*ck Feelings.

UNAIR NEWS – In order to apply material that obtained on campus directly to community or Project Based Learning (PjBL), students from Faculty of Nurse 2015 held counseling and simulation about first aid step for choking. The activity was made for parents and teachers at Bina Tunas Bangsa Surabaya Kindergarten, which approximately 40 people attended the event.
Interviewed by UNAIR NEWS on Tuesday, 27 November, Farhan Ardiansyah said that the purpose of this event was to increase knowledge, attitudes, and behavior regarding to first aid step for choking in children. Choking is emergency condition that must get help immediately.
“We used simulation and counseling methods for all of parents and kindergarten teachers, so they can learn more about knowledge regarding to choking, attitudes, and behavior towards first-aid to children,” he added.
Student from Faculty of Nurse 2015 said that first aid measures for choking in children still a misunderstanding. Parents often give their children a drink and hoped that it will push objects into stomach. He continued, it is not recommended because there’s a good chance that the respiratory may be blocked by the object.
“If you don’t get first aid properly, the object will not released in airway immediately,” he added.
Farhan said, coughing and vomiting is a reaction from our body to remove objects stuck inside on our body, some of it enter in lungs, which can cause pneumonia. In addition, choking can lead to blockages in the airway that prevent the brain to get oxygen or called hypoxia. Therefore, parents needs to understand the first aid for chocking that can be given correctly.
Farhan said that parents must check their children type of blockage. The trick is whether children can cough or not. If they cannot breathe, speak or cough at all in conscious condition then parents can use Heimlich maneuvering or by using methods 5-5. That is five back blows with five abdominal thrusts when performing the Heimlich maneuver.
“In accordance with our tag line. “Choking? Remember 3T. Keep calm, clap and press “,” he added.
If they are in unconscious condition then it is advisable to immediately carry out pulmonary cardiac resuscitation (CPR) with a fulcrum in half lower of Processus xiphoideus. However, if you are alone you can do one cycle of CPR and contact 112.
“The participants were very enthusiastic in this event. “The response of the participants regarding to the material has been given well and it proven by the increase of pre test and post test value,” he concluded. (*)

Author(s): Attila Hildmann
"Eating vegan is a megatrend that more and more people around the globe are enthusiastically adopting--including many stars, actors, and athletes from Hollywood to Sydney. A vegan diet is healthy, full of variety, low in fat, and cholesterol free, and it's based on delicious recipes that don't contain any animal products. The most important thing is to rethink the ingredients you buy. And then your ice cream and chocolate bars won't only be amazingly delicious, but also much healthier and lower in fat than you had ever imagined possible. In addition to health and renewed vitality, you can also have a completely clear conscience about animals and the environment. Attila Hildmann, who grew up in Germany and is now a big name in the vegan world, has given this type of diet an entirely new direction. He believes that eating vegan one or two days a week or having one vegan meal a day can considerably improve people's level of health and fitness. The aspiring physicist lost more than 65 pounds (30 kilos) himself without dieting, but rather by completely changing his eating habits. Hildmann is truly a master of coming up with recipe ideas that even people with the most discerning palates are excited about. He is even able to easily conjure up hearty flavors like those you are familiar with from meat. And his recipes are incredibly simple. Many of the recipes work well as snacks or for the office, and they'll add healthy variety to your diet."

This function creates a custom buzz!
Go update your Arduino Library now!
NEW functions available!
If you want these new functions GO UPDATE!
WHAT IS NEW?
Now there’s a new buzzer function that allows you to change the amplitude and the duration of the buzz! It can be seen in our buzzer documentation here on the forums and on our Github. The function is also otherwise shared below too!
Buzzer buzz; buzz.custom_buzz(uint8_t amplitude, uint32_t milliseconds);
Amplitude is a measure of how strong the motor vibrates.
Amplitude can be from 0 (no buzz) to 127 (max buzz).
Jewelbots typically buzz right in the middle at an amplitude of 63
Milliseconds is how long the motor will vibrate.
Millisecond is measured in, you guessed it, milliseconds.
40 ms is the minimum allowed and 2 s (2000 ms) is the max for longevity.
Many of you want to be able to control the amount of time the Jewelbot can buzz for. However, not only can you control how long the Jewelbot can buzz for, but also how strong its buzz is!! Hope this new function makes its way into your creative code! Definitely post your program if you use it!
HOW TO UPDATE?
Updating your Arduino Library again after the first time is slightly different from the original steps you followed from the first time. Look how to do it here.
- From the Tools menu, scroll over “Board:” and then select “Boards Manager”.
- Type in “j” in the “Filter your search” box to quickly find the Jewelbots Boards.

Spruce Up Your Space is back after its summer vacation! There’s just a small group for this weekend, but there’s still some good stuff. Let’s go!
I’m so impressed with what next lately! Winter is putting out great, interactive stuff, and this weekend’s SUYS is no exception. There’s a pair of boats up for grabs that you can either drop to paddle around in (amazing effects while doing this), or use as a simple piece of decor.
LISP has another super cute set out, something you’d totally see from Pan. These umbrella lights come in stands or ceiling lamps in plenty of adorable colours and patterns, my favourite being the black with clouds.
Cleo has always been good about giving you the most bang for your buck. This weekend you can get this whole cat inspired set which comes with some adorable decor, my favourite being the fish mobile.
And lastly from barnesworth anubis is the super cute Cattery Cottage, perfect for KittyCat hoarders and wannabes (like myself) alike. It comes with all the shelves at rugs, perfect for house your adorable breedables, or just your decor.

|Ammo Caliber||6.5 Grendel|
|Muzzle Velocity (fps)||2580|
|Muzzle Energy (ft lbs)||1818|
|Cost Per Round||99.5¢ per round|
This 6.5 Grendel cartridge is from Hornady’s Frontier label, a versatile approach to range training and target practice – but by no means incapable of proving its worth for varmint hunting or personal protection, either. Its 123 grain bullet is a simple, non-expanding FMJ, with a concentrically drawn copper jacket and uniform lead core to promote smooth feeding and consistent accuracy. The balanced and streamlined bullet keeps about 64 percent of its velocity at 500 yards, and does well to resist wind drift with its 0.420 ballistic coefficient.
This round’s nonmagnetic projectile sits flat in its new brass shell casing, with precise dimensions for reliable feeding and chambering. Keep a Frontier load’s case for future reloading, and bank on its non-corrosive Boxer primer and military grade propellant the first time you fire it.

Liberals get themselves all in a crunch about an “extremest” like Senator Rick Santorum. Sen. Santorum who has never said, implied or articulated that he has any interesting in forcing mandatory motherhood for females.
On the other day, the very radical and extreme Barack Hussein Obama has continued to ‘dictate’ what insurance companies and recipients we will and will not have access. This along with a government controlled ‘Panel’ who will make decisions over our health and very ability to continue breathing.
Now, really, who is the proven “extremist”?

The Woodville hosts Covid-19 vaccination centre
We‘re pleased to say The Woodville is to become home to Kent and Medway’s second large-scale vaccination centre.
We have been working with Kent Community Health NHS Foundation Trust (KCHFT), which is co-ordinating and leading the large vaccination centres in Kent and Medway, to turn our theatre into a large-scale vaccination centre. The Woodville is easily accessible by car, public transport and on foot.
The Gravesend vaccination centre will be seeing people who live within 45 minutes of it and will be stepping up to vaccinate thousands of people every week.
KCHFT Chief Executive Paul Bentley said: “To be able to open the second large vaccination centre in Gravesend within a week of our first one in Folkestone is a testament to everyone’s desire to get the job done and protect our most vulnerable quickly.
“We know that some of the levels of virus have been particularly high in north Kent, so we are delighted to be opening a vaccination centre in Gravesend – inviting the over 70s.
“Every vaccine we give we know could be life-saving – so we are delighted to be playing such a vital role in the biggest immunisation rollout the NHS has ever seen and we are hugely grateful for the support of Gravesham Borough Council.”
As a show of support from the council, an hour’s free parking will be available in a reserved area of Parrock Street car park, Gravesend, for those attending the vaccination centre. Please be prepared to show confirmation of your appointment to access parking.
A drop-off/pick-up area will be in the lay-by by The Woodville stage door in Woodville Place. Once passengers have been dropped off, drivers should move on to the dedicated free-parking area in Parrock Street car park to wait for them to be ready for collection.
The vaccination centre will be open to members of the public who have received a letter from the NHS and been invited to book. Nobody needs to contact the NHS, as people will be invited when it is their turn.
The Woodville box office is closed, so please do not try to call or email to ask about vaccinations.
Cllr John Burden, Leader of Gravesham Borough Council, said: “The Woodville has been at the heart of the Gravesham community for many years. It seems only right that it should take on this vitally important role in protecting local people from this dreadful virus.
“We are happy to be able to put it at the disposal of the vaccination team and I pay tribute to staff from the NHS, The Woodville and the council, who have worked so hard to get the centre up and running.’’
Gurvinder Sandher, from Kent Equality Cohesion Council, said “I am aware in other parts of the country people from BAME communities have not taken up the offer of the vaccine as we had hoped. Sadly, nearly all of us know someone who has been very unwell with, or died from Covid. We would urge people when you receive your invitation to book your vaccine, don’t put it off.”
The new large-scale vaccine centres will each be capable of delivering thousands of vaccinations each week, scaling their operations up and down according to vaccine supplies and demand. People who book in to a vaccine centre will receive a pre-vaccination assessment before they receive their vaccine. Appointments are staggered to allow for social distancing and people are urged not to turn up early to avoid queues. Anyone having the vaccine will need to wait for 15 minutes before driving.
If anyone has already received a jab since the letter was sent out or would prefer to wait to be invited to attend a hospital or GP service, they can simply ignore it. People like care home residents who are unable to travel to vaccine centres, hospitals or GP-led sites are already being vaccinated at home.

Eligible Veterans may now be entitled to disability compensation benefits
WASHINGTON — The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) is preparing to process Agent Orange exposure claims for “Blue Water Navy” Veterans who served offshore of the Republic of Vietnam between Jan. 9, 1962, and May 7, 1975.
These Veterans may be eligible for presumption of herbicide exposure through Public Law 116-23, Blue Water Navy Vietnam Veterans Act of 2019, which was signed into law June 25, 2019, and goes into effect Jan. 1, 2020. They may also qualify for a presumption of service connection if they have a disease that is recognized as being associated with herbicide exposure.
The bipartisan Blue Water Navy Vietnam Veterans Act gives VA until Jan. 1, 2020, to begin deciding Blue Water Navy related claims. By staying claims decisions until that date, VA is complying with the law that Congress wrote and passed.
“VA is dedicated to ensuring that all Veterans receive the benefits they have earned,” said VA Secretary Robert Wilkie. “We are working to ensure that we have the proper resources in place to meet the needs of our Blue Water Veteran community and minimize the impact on all Veterans filing for disability compensation.”

Over the years, there has been various debates over how the elderly is being treated in long term care facilities. Each and every year the number of the elderly people living in the U.S continues to grow immensely and whether or not we have the right systems in place to deal with this overwhelming number of baby boomers remain questionable. This number is projected to continue to grow and it is important that the right care is provided and also that the elderly is properly taken care of as they make this transition. As the number of elderly people in long-term care facilities continue to increase, different and various issues arise. One of the many serious issues involved with the elderly in long-term care facilities is the use of chemical …show more content…
While patients may benefit from restraints, they can also be harmful. There are various types of restraints, but the most common ones are physical and chemical restraints. Physical restraints are different from chemical restraints. Chemical restraints are psychoactive drugs given to a patient to potentially keep them from doing voluntary movement (Hoffman,2011). Restraints are used in various medical settings such as acute care hospitals and long-term care facilities. However, the Department of Health and Human Services reported that a majority percentage of the use of restraints on patients happen in a nursing home. Although there has been a decrease in the daily physical restraints used in nursing homes, however, in most nursing homes, restraints are fairly common. The use of physical restraints in long term care facilities or nursing homes is not something that is new. As a matter of fact, restraints have been used on the elderly in nursing homes dating back to the 1980’s. Before the year of 1990, the U.S Food and Drug Administration estimated that about 40 percent of patients of patients in nursing homes were restrained. (FDA …show more content…
This act created a major revision of standards of care for nursing homes. This legislation also changed the expectations and the quality of care that patients should receive in long term care facilities. This Nursing Home Reform Act passed by congress specifically stated “that each residents have the right to be free from any physical or chemical restraints imposed for purposes of discipline or convenience and not required to treat the resident’s medical symptoms”. While there may be some benefits to using restraints in nursing homes, however, studies have shown that using restraints in nursing homes negatively impacts patients and for the most part does not prevent them from falling or from other incidents that may occur. There are very high levels of risks associated with the use of restraints (Lapane,150). The OBRA act has encouraged providers to use other alternatives and methods other than restraint because it has been proven to be quite harmful. There are various risked associated with restraints and of these risk include patients potentially patients even losing their lives. Because of the nature of the restraint on patients, patients sometimes end up losing muscle and bone density which then results to immobility and immobility itself results in loss of endurance and muscle strength (Lane 2008). When a patient has lost endurance and muscle strength, they have problems

In 1991, the United States government initiated the Nursing Home Reform Act, also known as the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act (OBRA) of 1987 that outlined “a set of national minimum set of standards of care and rights for people living in certified nursing facilities” (ncmust.com). OBRA requires all nursing home residents have a complete health evaluation upon admission to a long-term care facility, and to be re-evaluated quarterly or after any major changes in health or functional status. This evaluation process is called the Resident Assessment Instrument (RAI) which is composed of three components; Minimum Data Set (MDS), Care Area Assessment Process and RAI Utilization Guidelines. Together, the components of RAI provide information
Ms. Augustin Doreus has also been very active in the following hospital committees such as: Restraint, Safety, Fall, ConED, and Performance Improvement. Furthermore, she has been a voice for the veterans focusing on changing the culture of how restraints are being used in the organization. She advocates on focusing more on alternative measures such as, de-escalation techniques, therapeutic communication, recognized early sing of agitation, and intervene on a timely manner, and so on. Outcome: As a member of the Hospital Restraint Committee and the leader of the Sub-restraint committee, Mrs. Augustin Doreus proposition to the Restraint Committee was to change the philosophy of our current restraint practice to focus more on finding alternative ways to keep our veterans safe during behavioral outburst.
The issues of aging prisoners in the United States as delineated by the Pearson video on chapter ten and the Huffington Post article include 20% of the population amassing beyond 45 years old, $40,000-$60,000 to care for one elderly prisoner, assistance for the elderly not fabricated in penitentiary budgets, and elderly quarters/recidivism exams in parallel to elderly release. The Huffington Post exemplifies that cost rises $5,500 to $40,000 in the time range from 50-80 years old (Maschi, 1). Aside from these issues, the Pearson video also exhibited that dementia, Alzheimer’s, diabetes, CVD, and walking troubles are challenges of the elderly population in prison (Pearson video). The issues exemplified by the Pearson video and the Huffington
This is reviewed with any change in patient status, a fall, and/or quarterly. Patients, depending on screening, might receive services from physical therapy (PT), occupational therapy (OT), nutritional services, bed/chair alarms, floor mats, medication adjustment, and change in room to closer to the nurses’ station, or other services. All at risk patients are easily identifiable by notation on wrist band, footwear, room and equipment signage, in the electronic medical record, and on any paper records. The fall rate of patients at SAVAHCS continues to be at or slightly below the benchmark, but our goal is to have zero falls. The intervention not fully utilized at this hospital, that does show promise in the literature, is the post-fall huddle.
If a resident need to be restrained there must be a doctor to order that restrain for them to actually be restrained. Hawes, Catherine. “Elder Abuse in Residential Long-Term Care Settings: What is Known and What Information is Needed?” Elder Mistreatment: Abuse, Neglect, and Exploitation in an Aging America., U.S. National Library of Medicine, 1 Jan. 1970, Accessed 26 Feb.
Medication Nursing Assistants Nursing assistants have long been the heartbeat of assisted living, long-term care and rehabilitation facilities alike. Over time, their roles in these settings have evolved to accommodate the needs of the RNs/ LPNs they work alongside and the cliental they care for. In 2001, the National Council of State Boards of Nursing (NCSBN) expanded the capacity of NAs in an effort to facilitate safer staffing ratios.
However, safety, health, and care have high chances to be compromised. In the hospital setting, patients with dementia get constant care, support, and help from staff in the
(Joint Commissions, 2014).It is important for nurses to explain how to use the call light to the elderly patients, and also to ask for help before getting out of bed. Vulnerable patients should be placed close to the nursing station for close monitoring. It is very important to educate health care workers on the approaches used to prevent falls. The measures used to prevent falls in the elderly could include; carrying out a risk assessment during admission, placing colorful stickers outside their doors, stopping the use of psychotropic medications, teaching them the best way to use their assistive device, placing their call light and belonging within their reach, placing their beds in the lowest position with brakes /wheels locked at all times, removing throw rugs from their surroundings, making sure that they are wearing non-skid shoes/socks before ambulating and also giving them their prescribed Vitamin D supplement as well as encouraging them on the use of their corrective glasses or hearing aids. It is very important to educate health care workers on the approaches used to prevent
Baton/Impact Weapon Minnesota St. Paul Police Department: The policy talks about both rigid and expandable batons which may be used by their police officers. Similarly to the use of ECD’s, they added a section which talked about certain prohibitions. Furthermore, they talked about avoiding striking a baton to the head, neck, throat, or spine unless use of deadly force is permitted. The policy also mentioned topics such as the reporting the use of the baton, reporting if an officer loses a baton, and exceptions to carrying the baton.
Elderly patients often experience multiple co-morbidities and prescribed number of medications thereby increases the risk of adverse events (AEs), drug-disease and drug-drug interaction. This risk is more by age-related physiological changes, which influence ADME and pharmacodynamics. Particular drugs shows additional risks to elderly patients as a result of these changes, e.g. increased risk of upper GIT bleeding with NSAIDs and increased risk of falls and prolonged sedation with long-acting benzodiazepines or Prescription of such drugs is potentially inappropriate to use when safer alternative drugs are exist. Some studies by using Beers' criteria are controversial. There is disagreement for certain drugs as inap¬propriate, e.g. nitrofurantoin
Scholarly Paper on Use of Restraints In the Health care system it is important to provide best quality care in a safe environment and ensure dignity of care. So, interventions like using restraints on patient is necessary to ensures patient safety as well as safety of others. (Crozer Ketstone, 2009). “Restraints are physical, chemical or environmental measures used to control the physical or behavioural activity of a person or a portion of his or her body” (CNO, 2017).

The extensive use of restraints is an issue of increasing concern in today’s nursing practice.
Every decade our population gets older and a whole new generation of seniors comes along with a new set of attitudes and expectations as to what they want from an assisted living facility. And now that people are living longer, there is a much greater need for these facilities. They can provide a refuge to many family members that may become severely burdened by the arduous task of taking care of a loved one who can no longer take care of themselves. When simple tasks such as bathing and feeding become near impossible to manage alone, not to mention driving to the store and shopping, decisions about placement into a home become paramount. Most important to the family members is the ability of the facility to provide the adequate care that is needed for their loved ones.
Physical restraints, is to hold the patient by two or more stuff members to prevent him from leaving. The other type is mechanical restraint, which involve the use of some equipment such as, mittens, heavy belt which will restrict the movement from chairs, and raising the side rails of the bed for geriatric patient. Moreover, the chemical restrain is the easiest way which involves the use of medications. Making a decision to use the restrains is not straightforward or easy for nurses. It is need daily legal and ethical decision making.
Elder abuse can also occur in institutional settings, especially long-term care facilities. The different types of elder abuse Abuse of elders’ takes many different forms, involving intimidation or threats against the elderly, some involving neglect, and others involving financial trickery. The most common are defined below.

Reclaimers are the reverse of stackers, retrieving materials from stockpiles, some using bucket wheels to transport the material while some are scraper or portal design.
Bucket elevators, also called grain legs, make use of buckets mounted on a rotating chain or belt to carry material gear rack for Material Handling Industry vertically.
Grain elevators are high buildings specifically for storing grain. They include equipment to convey the grain to the top of the elevator, where it really is delivered for processing.
Hoppers are funnel-shaped containers that allow material to be poured or dumped from one container to some other. Unlike a funnel, though, hoppers can hold material until it’s needed, then release it.

• Bucket elevators- Also called a grain leg. These elevators haul flowable mass materials vertically.
• Grain elevators- This type of equipment can be used to shop and move grain and additional similar materials within a production pathway.
• Hoppers- Hoppers are a container for bulk material such as for example grain, that tapers and discharges it’s materials in the bottom.
• Silos- A tower utilized to store grain and other materials such as for example coal, sawdust, woodchips, and foods.
Conveyors, as mentioned above, arrive in a wide variety of types for different types of bulk material.
Stackers, which are often automated, pile bulk material onto stockpiles, moving between
Equipment that handles bulk handling supports the control and transportation of huge volumes of materials either in bulk or loose form. Generally the equipment can be used to move loose parts in one area of the production ground to some other. Drums and hoppers may also be utilized to funnel loose items to allow them to be very easily manipulated or packaged. Bulk Material Handling Systems can also make use of conveyor belts for horizontal transportation and elevators for vertical transportation. Types of bulk material handling equipment are:

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is warning patients, caregivers and health care providers that accidental exposure to the skin patch containing the powerful painkiller fentanyl can be deadly, especially to young children, and that extra caution should be exercised for storing and disposing of the patches. The agency has received reports of young children who have died or become seriously ill from accidentally coming in contact with these skin patches.
“These types of events are tragic; you never want this to happen. We are looking for ways that we can help prevent this from happening in the future,” says Douglas Throckmorton, M.D., deputy director of FDA’s Center for Drug Evaluation and Research. “This reinforces the need to talk to patients and their families to make sure that these patches are stored, used and disposed of carefully.”
The fentanyl transdermal system is marketed under the brand name Duragesic and is also available as a generic. It contains a powerful opioid pain reliever and is used to treat patients who are in constant pain by releasing the medication over the course of three days. An overdose of fentanyl – caused when a child either swallows the patch or applies it to his or her own skin – can cause death by slowing breathing and increasing the levels of carbon dioxide in the blood.
Since 1997, there have been 26 cases of accidental exposure to fentanyl including 10 deaths and 12 hospitalizations. Most of the incidents involved children younger than 2 years old.
Infants and toddlers have unique risks of accidental exposure to fentanyl. Infants are often held by adults, increasing the chances that a partially detached patch could be transferred from adult to child. Toddlers are more likely to find lost, discarded or improperly stored patches and ingest them or stick them on themselves.
Children are particularly vulnerable to a fentanyl overdose because, unlike adults, they have not been exposed to this type of potent medicine before and are more vulnerable to its effects. Also, a greater amount of the medicine is released if the patch is chewed and swallowed.
Even after the patch has been worn and discarded, it can still retain as much as 50 percent or more of the drug.
The FDA recommends disposing of used patches by folding them in half so that the sticky sides meet, and then flushing them down the toilet. They should not be placed in the household trash where children or pets can find them.
The FDA has issued two public health advisories – in 2005 and again 2007 – about the safe use of fentanyl patches and is continuing its outreach to patients, caregivers and health care professionals about the dangers of accidental exposure.

Crushing news. I'll not be working in the fall. I didn't get the job.
"What must we do?" asked Billy Kwan, quoting Tolstoy (who in turn was quoting the Gospel) in Peter Weir’s film “The Year of Living Dangerously.”
John Dewey writes in Art as Experience that an injured organism may retreat into itself, may accept defeat and withdraw from external contact. I imagine a snail curling inside his shell. But Dewey saw another course: the creature may react to irritation by expanding into new territory. What he apparently means is a life-affirming adaptation, not merely lashing out but creative engagement with the world. This is the rhythm of the aesthetic experience couched in terms of an animal’s interacting with an environment which both nourishes and injures. He describes an alternation of undergoing and doing – suffering and acting.
Today, I’m rather like a snail.
One should never wallow in self pity. While preparing to write a review of a folk art exhibit some years back, I came upon an interview with the Mississippi Delta bluesman Son Thomas. Thomas was never a great financial success. Several versions of the story I remember from that interview are out there, but the version I recall was that his family was so poor when he was a kid they sent him to live with his uncle, a one-armed grave digger. They'd sit on the porch from time to time, broke, no groceries in the pantry, no work. "Don't fret, Son," his uncle would say. "The Lord will provide."
A desperately impoverished, African American, one-armed grave digger in Leland, MS before the Civil Rights era -- that's a man with trouble. I'm just looking at a lot more free time come the end of August.
Even if I do feel like a snail right now.

It is estimated that there are nearly 5 million cases of elder abuse every year in the United States. The incidence of elder abuse and nursing home abuse in California is growing rapidly. Each day, hundreds of members of our elder population in California are victimized. If your loved one is a victim of abuse or neglect in a nursing home or residential facility, there are likely other residents at the nursing home who are also being neglected or abused. Unfortunately, many cases of nursing home abuse go unreported as seniors are either too afraid to report the abuse for fear of retaliation or embarrassment or simply do not know that they are being abused. The San Diego elder abuse attorneys at the Law Offices of Robert Vaage have over 20 years of experience in elder abuse and nursing home abuse. If a loved one of yours has been abused please contact our office today at (619) 338-0505.
The law defines elder abuse as “physical abuse, neglect, financial abuse, abandonment, isolation, abduction or other treatment with resulting in physical harm or pain or mental suffering, or the deprivation by a care custodian of goods or services that are necessary to avoid physical harm or mental suffering.” (California Welfare & Institutions Code, Section 15610.07 and in Penal Code 368). The signs of elder abuse are often subtle and a senior who is being abused frequently fails to report the abuse. Nursing home residents are often the victims of horrible elderly abuse because they have physical or mental restrictions that leave them unable to communicate what is going on. The first step in preventing nursing home abuse is being able to recognize the common signs which are either mental, physical, or negligence.
Mental abuse signs include:
Confusion or disorientation
Derogatory, humiliating comments by staff
Hesitation to talk openly
Physical abuse signs include:
Scratches, cuts, or burns
Unexplained vaginal or anal bleeding, or torn, stained and bloody under clothing
Physical restraint not used properly
Sudden loss of weight
Neglect signs include:
Signs of feces on resident or in bathroom and smell of urine
Malnutrition and/or dehydration
Lack of assistance with eating and drinking
Missing money or property
Sudden changes in personal and financial affairs
If your loved one has unexplained injuries, bed sores, or any of the above warning signs, and you are suspicious of elder abuse or nursing home negligence, you may be able to file a personal injury lawsuit including a wrongful death law suit if the elder abuse has led to death. Contact an experienced nursing home negligence attorney at the Law Offices of Robert Vaage. Our attorneys are committed to protecting the rights of the elderly and enforcing elder law. Call today for a free legal consultation.
Once you know that your loved one has suffered from elder abuse it is important to take the next step and report the incident to the proper authorities. Due to statute of limitation laws that set out deadlines to bring a lawsuit, you should seek an experienced elder abuse attorney at the Law Offices of Robert Vaage immediately to file your claim in order to prevent any delays in your case. By finding the right elder abuse attorney, you are taking the first step to not only help prevent future cases of abuse from occurring, but also seeking the remedies you deserve. It is important that you document the abuse and/or neglect which you or a loved one has suffered. Photographic evidence is helpful to document unsanitary conditions, poor hygiene, bed sores, physical abuse, etc. If your loved one has been a victim of elder abuse, please contact an attorney at the Law Offices of Robert Vaage today at (619) 338-0505.

In the exhibition ‘Street Fart’ we present our latest works; sculptures, etchings, risographs and drawings on paper. Come to see the show the 29th of November from 5pm till 20pm at Unruly Galley in Cliffordstraat 26 Amsterdam.“We were writers and some people think that every ex-writer that makes art is a street artist. That is not the case. So, is the name ‘Street Fart’ a provocation to the street art world? Not entirely. We named our collective ‘Why Style’ because we love to question things. We like to have doubts. Our dogma is ‘always doubt’.
Here’s a phographic gallery about the work I presented at the Gallery LJ in Paris for the exhibition Paragone curated by Christian Omodeo for Le Grand Jeu.
The show it’s on view from march 13 until april 27 2013.

My dear fellow Americans…
Some of you may be working in the field of government services—as a courtesy, this message is directed more specifically to your attention.
Is it not time we face the issue that the main function of the administration of the usurper obama, misrepresenting itself as the government of the American people, is the destruction of America?
Information is now been made known that private corporations, through the application of semantic deceit have fraudulently mislead the people of America and have unlawfully seized control of many government infrastructures at all levels.

Have you been planning a motor swap in your E36 and need a new differential gear ratio, but you are not so happy about the options available in the standard E36 offerings? Perhaps you have been interested in doing a limited-slip swap, but all of the E36 fitment differentials are a little out of the price range? Never fear as you may have more gear ratio options than you may have realized.
I stumbled upon the “E36 Bullet-Proof Differential Conversion” kit from RallyRoad.net. From the description, with just a little bit of fabrication, this will allow you to bolt in a differential from a 5-Series (E34 chassis) or 7-Series (E32 chassis).
This might not sound exciting, but in addition to more gear ratio options, this also allows you to run the more robust differentials from the M5, the V8 5-Series and 750i/iL cars. These have 210mm ring gears compared to the smaller 188mm ring gear found in most 6-cylinder BMWs (save for the E36 M3).
And, if going bigger isn’t on the list, but adding a limited-slip is, this opens new, low-cost options as E32 and E34 limited-slip differentials are somewhat plentiful and readily available.
This means your LS1-swapped E36 3xxi can be fitted with a limited slip differential from a 750iL and you can go out and do burn-outs until your little heart is content.

AREVA has announced that current uranium prices are not sufficient to allow profitable operation of Niger's Imouraren uranium deposit.
However, in May the company has renewed the strategic partnership with Niger, which enshrines the renewal of mining contracts held by SOMAÏR and COMINAK (both AREVA-Niger joint ventures). Also, the State of Niger and AREVA have agreed to appoint Managing Directors of Nigerien nationality to the boards of SOMAÏR and COMINAK, in 2014 and 2016 respectively.
AREVA said that it and Niger would set up a joint strategic committee to decide on the schedule for start of mining based on changes in the market.
AREVA also committed to spent EUR 90 million on the development of the route between Arlit and regional city Tahoua, EUR 10 million on mining company housing, EUR 17 million on development in the Irhazer valley,
Upon signing the agreement, Luc Oursel, President and CEO of AREVA, stated: "In the context of a difficult uranium market, AREVA and the State of Niger have succeeded in reaching a balanced and sustainable agreement to pursue their historic partnership."
The Nigerien Minister of State, Omar Hamidou Tchiana, speaking on behalf of the Government of the Republic of Niger, welcomed the signature of this agreement, which finally marks the establishment of a "balanced partnership" as desired by the President of Niger Issoufou Mahamadou.
In 2013, the two presidents of AREVA and CNNC confirmed the advancement in their discussions on the potential equity interest (10%) acquisition of CNNC in the AREVA subsidiary that holds a 66.65% stake in the Imouraren mine in Niger. It is unclear if this deal has been completed. According to the World Nuclear Association, KEPCO also holds a 10% stake in the mine.
According to WNA, SOMAIR and COMINAK were both shut down at the end of December 2013, when their licence expired.

Today, let's take a look at the daily tasks that HD must do in the game world.
The first one is that game players have to try out Yuanhun every day. Players who have reached level 30 can receive this copy. It takes 30 physical strength to enter this copy every time. Moreover, the rewards obtained by the copy are basically for the upgrade of Yuanhun. A lot of Yuanhun props will fall in this copy of the game. After the game player passes through the copy and submits the corresponding task, the game player can also get additional Yuanhun props to upgrade.
The second is that game players have to fight the copy of stone forest enchantment every day. Game players just need to run around and don't even need to enter the copy. The reward for this task is very rich experience, so players who want to quickly upgrade must do Stone Forest enchantment every day.
The third is that game players have to fight pirate ships every day. Players at level 40 can brush materials in this copy. This copy is basically used to produce some daily materials, but there is a great possibility that rare materials will be dropped to gamers.
The fourth is that gamers have to make copies of archaic fantasy every day. Gamers above level 40 can get many precious treasures from the game system after destroying the boss.
The fifth is that game players have to offer rewards every day. The game player above level 40 can get a reward, which is the most direct and fast way for the game player to get money.
The sixth is that game players have to open and pass the salt spring demon hunting every day. This is the daily copy task of level 50 gamers. It takes 50 points of physical strength for gamers to enter.


The United States Air Forces latest attempt to rid itself of at least some of its A-10 ground attack aircraft has been stymied by Congress. In the Air Force’s 2022 budget request the service requested to be allowed to retire a number of older aircraft so as to free up resources for newer types. Amongst this number were 42 A-10s.
Though Congress approved the deletion of the other types, they flat out refused to allow the removal from service of any of the iconic ground pounders. As there are a total 281 A-10s still flying with the USAF, the number proposed for removal would have represented a substantial proportion of the fleet.
Congress’ decision will be met with delight by those who are fans of the aircraft, who accuse the USAF of trying to kill off the type for decades. Indeed, the continued service of the aircraft, despite this perceived hostility from the Air Force, just goes to show how powerful a lobby the A-10 enjoys in the corridors of power.
But this does raise a question.
Is sentimentality overruling practical operational need and requirement when it comes to the A-10?
The Fairchild-Republic A-10 evolved out a requirement that came up during the Vietnam War for a Close Air Support – or CAS – aircraft. After the Korean War the USAF had concentrated so much on fast moving attack jets, especially for the nuclear strike role, that this role had been allowed to effectively die off.
In Vietnam the USAF had to resort to borrowing old propeller driven A-1 Skyraiders from the Navy to have a type on hand to assist troops on the ground with direct support. This was recognized very much as a stop gap, and the Air Force began the A-X program, looking to find a dedicated Close Air Support aircraft.
Vietnam ended before this actually got into the air, and the post-Vietnam focus was on fighting Soviet armoured forces on the plains of Germany. The A-X subsequently evolved into a heavily armed and armoured ground attacker with the idea that tanks and armoured vehicles would be its primary target.
Two aircraft competed for selection, Northrop’s YA-9 and Fairchild’s YA-10, the latter of which won the competition and was selected in 1973 to become the A-10 Thunderbolt II. This entered service in 1977 and has seen service in practically every war that the United States has been involved in since.
Designed to be incredibly tough, with titanium armour and redundant systems, the aircraft is armed with a plethora of weapon systems. This includes the famous Avenger 30mm rotary cannon around which the aircraft is literally built.
The A-10, affectionately known as the “Warthog” because of its very distinctive look, has proven arguably the best CAS-aircraft in the world up until the current day. Having provided support to US and Allied soldiers for thirty years, from Kuwait to the Balkans, Libya to Afghanistan, the A-10 is a firm favourite with those on the ground it has provided support to.
From a morale point of view, there is little better than having air support literally swooping around overhead, blasting your enemy. And the roar of that huge cannon, well there is nothing like it.
It is, as already said, an icon.
But perhaps we do need to ask some searching questions about whether the A-10 is now the best choice. As said, the aircraft first entered service in 1977. Though designed with the formidable Soviet tactical air defences in mind at the time, no one can deny that technology has moved on massively since then. In fact, critics point out that though the A-10 has a formidable combat record, that is largely due to careful selection of when the aircraft has been deployed.
Operation “Desert Storm” of 1991, when the forces of Saddam Hussein were smashed and driven from their illegal occupation of Kuwait, is often seen as the prime time of the A-10. Engaged against Soviet designed tanks and AFVs in a conventional war, the A-10s were used en masse to help rout the Iraqis.
But even this campaign hides some telling lessons.
A-10s, operating low and slow as intended with their CAS tactics, suffered losses in the face of the Iraqi air defences that had been all but destroyed by the concerted air campaign that proceeded the start of ground operations.
This led to the aircraft being restricted in its usage and more ground support missions being undertaken by aircraft like the F-111 and the F-15E – who did so at high altitude and out of the danger zone presented by short-range air defence systems.
To be fair, the A-10 was designed and built with these sorts of conditions in mind, and a number got back to their bases after suffering extensive damage. But it does raise the issue of “just because you can, doesn’t mean you should.”
After all, an A-10 that has staggered back to base with heavy damage is at best out of the fight for a considerable period, possibly in fact a write off. But a fast mover, as demonstrated in 1991, is probably simply going to refuel, rearm and then be back on operations.
And with the increasing capability of modern air defences, which are far more lethal today even in less technically advanced militaries such as Iran or North Korea, is it conceivable that the A-10 wouldn’t be able to operate in support of ground troops as intended in a serious conflict?
If we are honest, probably.
So, the A-10 is an aircraft that is great in a very select role and tactical situation, and in fact that role and situation has been one that US forces have largely been involved in since the end of the Cold War. That probably explains the success and affection for the A-10 – it was often the right aircraft for the right conflicts.
But is it still the best option?
Yes, US ground forces are going to need CAS for the foreseeable future, it’s a huge force multiplier. But considering the limited operational scope that the A-10 can operate in – one with air superiority and limited air defence threat – are there better options?
The AC-130 can also operate in a similar tactical situation but has the advantage of being able to stay longer on station as well as having a range of weapon options that it can bring to bear. The US Marine Corps is going one better and fitting out their KC-130 tanker aircraft with the Harvest HAWK system. This will allow them to convert the tankers at short notice to use precision weapons like Hellfire and Griffin missiles in direct support of ground troops.
Sure, the KC-130 isn’t going to be doing this in any sort of major threat area. But neither, to be honest, can the A-10. Yes, it is more survivable, but it is far from invulnerable.
And that of course brings up another option – unmanned aerial vehicles.
The current Predator and Reaper drones in service can loiter for longer periods than the A-10, providing advanced spotting and mapping service for ground forces, plus carry precision weapons. And when we say “precision”, remember the latest R9X Hellfire can take out the people in an individual car without an explosive warhead.
So, perhaps it is time to look seriously at whether the A-10 is the best option. After all, history has plenty of examples of when weapons were kept in service for too long purely on grounds that were, with hindsight, nostalgic.
Of course, for the A-10 to finally bow out, there does need to be a replacement. The USAF has been trying to justify the replacement of the A-10 with existing aircraft and systems on the grounds they can do the job.
The problem is that was exactly what they said in the 1950s. There is a perception that once again, when they are able to rid themselves of the dedicated CAS platforms, they will lose interest in maintaining training and skill sets.
So perhaps if the USAF do finally want to get rid of the A-10, they should first spell out what exactly is going to replace them in the CAS role and just what the new doctrine is going to be regarding any new system and its integration with ground forces.
If they really want to prove that they are serious about keeping CAS as a priority role – which after all has been the USAF’s primary fighting function in the post-Cold War world – they should initiate an A-X 2.0 program.
A proper appraisal of the technology, threats and requirement is, quite frankly long overdue. After all, the last time it was done was the mid-1960s.


text: The American version of Big Brother launched on July 5, 2000, five weeks after the premiere of Survivor. It was based on a Dutch format that premiered a year before, and was shown five nights a week. Season 1 of Big Brother had its best ever total viewership that year, averaging 9 million. But it was being compared to the monster ratings of Survivor, which ended its first season with an unprecedented 52 million viewers in August. “In the first season, everything was exactly what they had done in Holland — from the technology in the house to the tone, everything. And I think maybe that was the first time that they realized that what works in Europe doesn’t always necessarily translate to an American audience,” says executive producer Allison Grodner. “I think one of the biggest issues was that the most interesting people — those who were creating the most story and drama — were getting voted out by America because they were seen as troublemakers. Maybe there was a morality issue. In the end you were left with people who weren’t making the most dynamic story.” So in Season 2, Grodner says Big Brother "borrowed from Survivor in terms of turning the game inside." Big Brother also cut down on the number of weekly episodes and increased the number of houseguests.

The Special Studies Project was a study funded by the Rockefeller Brothers Fund and conceived by its then president, Nelson Rockefeller, to 'define the major problems and opportunities facing the U.S. and clarify national purposes and objectives, and to develop principles which could serve as the basis of future national policy'. The study ran between 1956 and 1960.
Nelson recruited Henry Kissinger, who was then on the faculty of Harvard University, as director of the project; he had first met Kissinger in 1955. He also brought on board such luminaries as Edward Teller, Charles Percy, Dean Rusk, John Gardner (president of the Carnegie Corporation) and Henry Luce, along with his brothers Laurance and John D. 3rd. Six panels were constituted that looked at sweeping issues ranging from military/security strategy to foreign policy, to international economic strategy and defense department and governmental reorganization.
The military subpanel's report was rush-released much earlier than the others, about two months after the USSR launched Sputnik, in October, 1957. It was given prominent treatment on the front page of The New York Times, selling thousands of copies and garnering unprecedented influence. Many of its major recommendations - principal among them a massive arms buildup to counter perceived Soviet military superiority - were adopted by U.S. President Dwight D. Eisenhower in his State of the Union address in January, 1958.
The project was finally published in its entirety in 1961 as Prospect for America: The Rockefeller Panel Reports. The archival study papers are stored in the Rockefeller Archive Center at the family estate; portions of the papers are still restricted, over four decades after the report was published.

A few weeks ago, many Argentines thought the worst of the pandemic was behind them. Cases were down, vaccination rates were high and once-full intensive care units had plenty of beds to spare. The president’s spokeswoman, Gabriela Cerruti, tweeted in mid-November that “the pandemic is over.”
Then came Christmastime.
What had been a steady stream of new cases surged last week — and the numbers keep rising. It marks a startling turnaround for Argentina, and raises questions about what is to come for other countries in South America, a region that has already suffered greatly during the pandemic.
Led by Brazil, which has the world’s second highest death toll, and Peru, which had an even higher per capita death rate, South America was the epicenter of the pandemic earlier this year. But infections fell sharply as vaccination rates soared.
“There is a real risk of a regional increase,” said Dr. Sylvain Aldighieri, the incident manager for Covid-19 for the Pan American Health Organization, a division of the World Health Organization.
Covid-19 cases have also been steadily increasing in Bolivia, with signs of a potential uptick in Uruguay and Paraguay.
Even though South America is in the middle of summer, when people spend more time outdoors, the holidays also bring an increase in travel. And there “has really been a decrease in the implementation of social distancing measures,” Dr. Aldighieri said.
In Argentina, both the Delta variant and the highly infectious Omicron variant are circulating, officials said, although Delta remains predominant.
Omicron has been detected in 25 countries and territories of Latin America and the Caribbean, but it will be weeks before its potential impact across the region becomes clear, Dr. Aldighieri said, adding that genomic sequencing is limited in many countries and Omicron will be coexisting with other variants.
Over the past week in Argentina, an average of 15,690 new cases have been reported daily, according to data compiled by The New York Times. From Monday to Tuesday, 33,902 new cases were reported, the highest figure since June 2, according to the Health Ministry. The city of Buenos Aires, and central Córdoba Province, which has been particularly hard-hit, reported their highest figures since the pandemic began.
Testing centers were nearly empty only weeks ago. Now lines are long, and the positivity rate is nearing a staggering 30 percent, according to Health Ministry figures.
Despite the sharp increase in cases, President Alberto Fernández dismissed on Tuesday the possibility of imposing mobility restrictions at the height of summer holidays. The country endured one of the world’s strictest quarantines early in the pandemic.
For now, officials are optimistic that the soaring numbers of cases have not translated into overrun intensive care units and higher death tolls.
“In comparison to other waves, the number we have now is of fewer than 1,000 people in intensive care units and the number of deaths is very stable,” the health minister, Carla Vizzotti, said in a radio interview on Tuesday, pushing citizens to get vaccinated as the best way to combat the uptick.
Even though South America got a later start than much of the world in inoculating its population, it now has a higher vaccination rate than Europe, North America and Asia, and significantly lower vaccine skepticism.
Chile has fully vaccinated 87 percent of its population, one of the highest rates in the world. Argentina’s population is now 72 percent fully vaccinated, and Brazil’s is 68 percent. By comparison, the United States has fully vaccinated 62 percent of its people.

Arianna Pattek, 19, graduated at the top of her class at Spanish River High School last year, and the Georgetown University freshman made it a priority to be a part of history. Pattek called on Sen. Mel Martinez and managed to procure inauguration tickets for herself and her roommate.
"I contacted Mr. Martinez's office just after the election because I did not want to miss out on history. I was too young in 2004 to be truly engaged in the process and was not terribly pleased with the outcome," she said.
Pattek said she wanted to do as much as possible this election to make sure her candidate came out on top and that most young people in her circle are of like thinking.
