Rathbones has committed to a 12-month corporate sponsorship with Scottish Ballet, supporting their return to the stage in the coming year.
Scottish Ballet strives for excellence across everything that it does, placing particular importance on being inclusive and sharing the joy and benefits of dance with everyone, regardless of age, ability and background.
Rathbones wants to support Scottish Ballet in this and is delighted to become a Corporate Dance Partner and support their transition back to live events.
Founded in 1969, Scottish Ballet is based in Glasgow and funded by the Scottish Government.
The company performs regularly across Scotland, throughout the UK and internationally, inspiring on stage and beyond.
The past year has been a challenge for everyone in the arts industry with venues closed, loss of income and uncertainty on dates for a return to live performances.
Rathbones’ sponsorship aims to support Scottish Ballet during this period of transition as restrictions ease and life returns to normal.
Throughout the last year Scottish Ballet has been delivering everything that it can online.
From ballet classes for absolute beginners to advanced dancers, alongside a weekly programme of dance health classes for those living with neurological conditions.
As well as creating and sharing new dance films to presenting dancer and creative team talks to its membership, Scottish Ballet also produced a critically acclaimed full-length feature film The Secret Theatre for audiences last Christmas.
All of which have kept audiences at home and abroad entertained.
Scottish Ballet’s ambitions to promote Scotland’s pioneering spirit far and wide and explore new styles and push creativity chimes well with Rathbones’ own aim to Look Forward.
As part of the sponsorship Rathbones will be able to offer exclusive access to upcoming virtual events to clients, as well as the opportunity to attend live events when possible.
Adam Drummond, Regional Director at Rathbone Investment Management comments:
“Scottish Ballet celebrates Scotland, showcasing our collective drive, passion and creativity across the world.
“We are proud to be able to sponsor such a vibrant and talented organisation, particularly at this challenging time for the arts industry.
“While theatres and other performance venues went dark last March, Scottish Ballet has continued to delight, support and interact with its members online.
“We are looking forward to making the most of these virtual events while we can, and to returning as audience members to enjoy the company’s live performances.”
Christopher Hampson, CEO/Artistic Director at Scottish Ballet:
“We are delighted that Rathbones Investment Management is supporting the arts of Scotland through joining the Scottish Ballet family as Corporate Dance Partners.
“We look forward to welcoming their guests and clients to our events, online and in person as we work towards our return to the stage.”


Last week, The Washington Post published yet another piece on coddled college students, but this time the blame was on colleges themselves instead of on overprotective parents. In “Helicopter Parents Are Not the Only Problem. Colleges Coddle Students, too,” Jeffrey Selingo, former editor of the Chronicle of Higher Education and Professor of Practice at Arizona State University, argues that colleges share blame in a generation of students that can’t handle life challenges. Selingo writes, “In the past decade, college campuses have turned into one big danger-free zone, where students live in a bubble and are asked to take few, if any, risks in their education.”
This might all be alarming, if it were true. Instead, though, the entire piece is based on anecdotes and conjecture. It’s worth asking how long the US public is going to tolerate – and the media is going to broadcast – this endless stream of unsubstantiated millennial bashing.
Selingo says that college students live in a bubble, but, in fact, college campuses are as unsafe as ever. For instance, students aged 18 to 24 report about 526,000 violent crimes each year, according to the Violent Victimization of College Students report. Of those, 128,000 “involved a weapon or serious injury to the victim.” On October 1, nine were killed at Umpqua Community College. Then, only two weeks before Selingo published his piece a student was killed and three were injured in a shooting at Northern Arizona University, just north of where Selingo himself works. Since 2013 there have been at least 156 school shootings in the United States, nearly one a week, and many of these are on campuses of higher education.
We also know that one in five women is sexually assaulted in college, a horrifying statistic that certainly suggests a climate that is anything but safe. Hate crimes take place on campuses too; with 11.4 percent of all hate crimes in 2009 taking place in schools or colleges.
It’s worth asking how long the US public is going to tolerate – and the media is going to broadcast – this endless stream of unsubstantiated millennial bashing.
So, while it may be true that college campuses are often safer than the communities around them, it is still a mistake to call campuses a “danger-free zone.” The facts simply don’t support such a claim.
Selingo claims that at “many colleges, new students … live in luxurious apartment-like dorms.” But he doesn’t tell us where exactly that happens. At Penn State, where I teach, there are high-end and high-cost dorms for upperclassmen. But freshmen share tiny rooms that often have just enough space for two twin beds and two small desks.
Selingo worries that students don’t have to “manage conflicts,” but there is no proof that there has been any significant drop in dorm-mate skirmishes. He doesn’t like the idea that roommates can connect on social media before school starts. And yet, he seems to ignore the fact that the practice was a response to research that showed dorm-mate conflict was one of the top five reasons students drop out of college. Point is, students didn’t “manage conflict” much better before; they often dropped out to avoid it.
How can a faculty member write an article about coddled college students when the students in his own classes have only a 43 percent chance of graduating in four years?
The real bulk of Selingo’s piece, though, is on the many ways that students are offered academic support by colleges. He talks about grade inflation and complex advising programs that choose classes for students. His point is that students lack training in navigating a complex system, since the work is done for them. And such a lack of skills will hurt them later on the job market.
As he puts it, “No longer are the nation’s college campuses places where only the fittest survive, the place where only one of your classmates to the right or the left will make it to graduation.”
In Selingo’s world, college is easy and graduation is basically guaranteed. Bet you are guessing that Arizona State University, where Selingo teaches, must be a pretty cushy place to go to college. No violence, no roommate conflict, easy grades and guaranteed graduation. All you have to do is get in and then ASU will take care of everything else for you, right?
Wrong. ASU has a four-year graduation rate of 43 percent. At ASU, it is indeed the case that only one student to the right or left of you will actually make it to graduation.
So what do we make of this? How can a faculty member write an article about coddled college students when the students in his own classes have only a 43 percent chance of graduating in four years? Maybe, instead of spending time maligning them and the so-called overprotective support systems they have, he should actually be a support system himself.
It is time to stop perpetuating the myth that millennials are coddled, lack resilience and are ill equipped for the future.
Besides Selingo’s list of unsubstantiated ways students are babied, we actually have a host of proof that today’s students may have inherited one of the most complex and challenging college environments of all time. As I’ve written about before, this generation of students has it anything but easy. From student debt to a tough job market, from a rising population of first generation students to students working while in school, there is a host of real challenges students face. When we look at the data, we find that today’s students may be the most resilient generation in decades.
A recent NPR story by millennial Maanvi Singh dispelled the notion that her generation lacks resilience. She cites a list of articles that all perpetuate the idea that her generation is a bunch of losers that won’t grow up. But then, she wonders, where is the proof of all this? Only to find that there is “no conclusive research.” None.
It is time to stop perpetuating the myth that millennials are coddled, lack resilience and are ill equipped for the future. It’s also time to stop demonizing the parents and institutions trying to support them. If anyone deserves blame, it might be the ones that use sloppy logic, poor evidence and loose anecdotes to destroy the image of an entire generation.

Week 212 (4 - 10 November 2017)
At this week’s International Federation (IF) Forum, four-time Olympic sailing champion and America’s Cup winner Sir Ben Ainslie gave the keynote address, sharing his plans for a sustainable sailing team that could shape the future of the America’s Cup.
Ainslie is the most successful sailor in Olympic history, winning five medals between 1996 and 2012, including four golds. In 2013, Ainslie joined Team Oracle USA for the 34th America’s Cup, leading the team’s comeback from eight points down to win the deciding race in San Francisco.
Now spearheading a campaign to bring the world’s oldest sporting competition to Britain, sustainability is at the heart of Ainslie’s ambition. The Land Rover BAR team, which hopes to compete for the 36th edition in 2021, has taken a number of initiatives to ensure they are not compromising on their primary goal of sustainable competition.
“We have installed the UK’s first seabin, which has the capability to collect 83,000 plastic shopping bags or 20,000 plastic bottles per year,” Ainslie said at the Forum in Lausanne, Switzerland. “We have also supported the Oyster Restoration Project and are continually investing in new ways of recycling carbon and lowering emissions.
“Sustainability is at the core because it’s the right thing to do. Sport has an opportunity to set the example and this is what we’re committed to.”
As part of the team’s recruitment process, a pledge to compete within an eco-friendly framework was a core component. Each member of the crew accepted that it is their responsibility to help restore the world’s natural waters.
“Everyone who joined the team knew this was a key part of our mantra, and this means that everyone is on the same page from the very start,” Ainslie continued. “We have all seen the damage that’s been done to our oceans and cities and that puts our responsibility into perspective.”
“The whole team has also committed to meat free Mondays, which was certainly a culture shock for some! All in all, we have 10-12 key initiatives which are making a big difference.”
There is a widening acceptance that more can be done through sport, both by athletes using their platform to promote sustainable initiatives but also by teams, hosts and IFs in major competitions. In 2016 the America’s Cup launched its own Sustainability Charter, ensuring each team’s commitment to water conservation, recycling and protecting marine habitats.
“The America’s Cup is trying to set the example with this Sustainability Charter - this is now a key part of the competition parameters,” Ainslie said. “I’m extremely proud of how our team have embraced it and I believe that sport – everyone attending this forum – can lead the change.”
For his forward thinking and proactive attitude, Ben Ainslie is JTA Communicator of the Week.

It’s inevitable that reporters will have to rely heavily on law enforcement sources in the first hours after a horrific crime. Amid chaos and wild speculation, the police may be the only ones with any hard information at that point.
And so it was on Wednesday when Jay Baker, a captain with the Cherokee County Sheriff’s Office in Georgia, described the motivations of the man accused of killing eight people, six of them Asian women, at spas in the Atlanta area.
While hedging a bit, Baker told reporters there was no immediate reason to think that the White shooter had a racial motivation.
Why not? Well, because that’s what the suspect told police, Baker said at a news conference Wednesday.
“He apparently has an issue, what he considers a sex addiction, and sees these locations as something that allows him to go to these places and it’s a temptation for him that he wanted to eliminate,” Baker said, sounding strangely empathetic toward Robert Aaron Long, the 21-year-old suspect.
Long, Baker theorized, “may have been lashing out.”
And then came this line, which ought to live in infamy:
“He was pretty much fed up and at the end of his rope, and yesterday was a really bad day for him and this is what he did,” Baker said.
Watching it live, I was incredulous, like a lot of other people.
A really bad day? For most of us, that might culminate in crying on the phone to your best friend, or maybe bingeing on butter pecan ice cream eaten right out of the container.
“Would police describe a targeted massacre from someone who wasn’t white this way? What the hell?” wrote Sawyer Hackett, a political adviser to Julián Castro, the former HUD secretary and Democratic presidential candidate.
Baker’s language and delivery were beyond inappropriate to the situation, way beyond insensitive. (Baker, by the way, is director of communications and community relations at the sheriff’s department; he’s supposed to be good at this.)
There was also his utter failure to question the suspect’s own depiction of what motivated him, to understand the intersection of racism and misogyny, or to note that many communities have reported a spike of anti-Asian violence this year.
Even more dismaying, though, was the first round of media coverage: tweets, news alerts and early stories from nearly every major news organization that essentially parroted Baker’s assertion that this horrible crime didn’t seem to be racially motivated and wasn’t being immediately categorized as a hate crime.
Yes, these reports for the most part included the words “police said” — but they sounded like the official truth.
Later, we learned far more. Not just about the crime but about the sheriff’s spokesman.
Sheriff’s official who said spa shooting suspect had ‘bad day’ posted shirts blaming ‘CHY-NA’ for virus
We learned that Baker had posted racist imagery on Facebook — joking about a T-shirt that blamed China for the pandemic. The shirt was a twist on the Corona beer label that said “Covid 19 IMPORTED VIRUS FROM CHY-NA.”
“Love my shirt,” Baker wrote last April in a post that has since been deleted. “Get yours while they last.”
Could this have been a factor in why he, and others who share his worldview, might fail to see the unavoidable racial component in the deaths of employees of Young’s Asian Massage and other such spas?
As Wednesday went on, the facile interpretation that Baker injected into the news cycle became diluted by better reporting and analysis. I saw insightful commentary on CNN and MSNBC throughout the day, relying on public officials such as Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms (D), as well as on scholars and other experts. But when the network evening newscasts rolled around late Wednesday, they still referred to Baker’s statements as a source of information, though now with more context.
Part of the problem is the need for speed.
“I know the intense pressures that reporters, editors and engagement teams are under to keep the audience informed and also to drive traffic to your content,” wrote Doris Truong, director of training and diversity at the Poynter Institute and formerly of The Washington Post. “I have been the person who wrote the news alert, then pushed the button that sent breaking news to millions of devices.”
But, she added, “we have to do better.”
What does better look like?
Part of it is stepping up training for journalists before the crisis happens so that they are better equipped to cover fast-breaking news without credulously relying on police sources.
Monica Hesse: ‘It’s race, class and gender together’: Why the Atlanta murders aren’t just about one thing
That’s been an overdue necessity in covering recent Black Lives Matter protests and is just as important in covering the Asian American Pacific Islander community. It’s happening in many newsrooms, and none too soon.
The Asian American Journalists Association on Wednesday put out a helpful guide for those covering the shootings: Use careful language, provide context, understand anti-Asian racism, diversify your sources, empower and support the journalists who are part of the Asian and Pacific Islander communities.
Another part of doing better is remembering a core tenet of good journalism: Don’t take everything from official sources at face value. Interrogate the information before credulously retailing it to your audience. Verify. Corroborate. Include context.
“Treat the police like any other source, with the same degree of skepticism,” Susan Chira, the editor in chief of the Marshall Project, a news site that focuses on the criminal justice system, told my colleagues Paul Farhi and Elahe Izadi last summer.
As Chira noted, the phrase “police said” is not shorthand for the truth.
We learned it again this week.

With the arrival of spring, my April fool’s is that my soul still feels struck in the muck of winter. At the outset of winter, I invested in a pair of Sorel boots called “Helen of the tundra”. In Southeast Alaska, the niceties of fashion are overlooked in exchange for practicality. I wouldn’t go so far as to say my tundra boots would keep me warm in the actual tundra, the Seattle tundra perhaps. However, along with my extratuffs, my feet have been well protected this winter. Of course, my feet are not really the problem, though my ankles give me a run for my money every so often.
What thoughts come to mind when one hears the word tundra? I envision a vast, desolate expanse with winds scouring the surface of the earth, creatures and plants huddled over to provide tenuous protection and respite from the cold, harsh clime. I suppose it would be a bit over the top to describe my life this winter as tundra-like, but I think we all go through times where we feel the wind acutely blowing through our being.
Can this wind purge our inner beings of the dust in the corners, the baggage we carry from our past, the resentment we have for those who have hurt us, and the guilt we feel and compassion toward those we have caused pain?
With all of these roiling emotions inside, it is only natural that they should at some point boil over, yet our society expects, nay demands, we deal with this inner storm quietly and with composure. Well, the demure way of being in the world has never been my forte. I regularly walk into things, and I feel thankful if I can remember the origin of a bruise.
What of the bruises beneath the surface? How does one deal with the frustration, the anger, the hurt, the lost, desolate, tundra feeling of being in the world alone?
A friend and his wife have helped to guide me through my tundra with many hugs, talking sessions, words of comfort, and the most empowering salvation – music. A few weeks ago, I went over to their house to practice a song for open mic, and I just couldn’t transfer my inner voice to the outer world through the words of the song. My friend looked at me and told me, “Marieke, there is so much craziness with everything going on in your life. Harness that emotion and pour it out in the words of this song. Upon further reflection he said, “What you need is a primordial scream”! So we went outside, took deep breaths, and screamed at the top of our lungs to the blanket of earth, trees, and sky that surround their house. With renewed energy, I bounced back into the house, stood stall, and belted out the words of the song.
1 thought on “Marieke of the tundra”
Hi Marieke. I’ve been reading your postings and appreciate your degree of introspection and the eloquent way your express this and all the wonder of your surroundings. It’s no surprise that you take on the character of your surroundings and the season. It’s wonderful that you can express/release this through your music. I would love to hear this song and especially hear you singing it. I have felt my own urges to scream at the universe when I feel frustrated and to seek quiet time when I need it. It was 84 here yesterday and is snowing today…such are the vagaries of spring in the Rockies. I can ski in the mountains and come back and mow the lawn all in the same day. I would want to live anywhere else.
I hope the coming of spring will help to resolve/dissolve all your burdens. Keep on recording on your blog. I love reading your thoughts and descriptions. We can also talk any time if Skype will work for you.

The record starts off with “Lysandre’s Theme” which is an instrumental that features a chord progression that will periodically reoccur throughout the record almost as a reminder to the listener to pay attention and follow the storyline being laid out through the album. This is perhaps the most interesting part of this album; the lyrical content. Owens does a wonderful job of telling the tale of a love lost and all the excitement and difficulties that come along with rising fame as a musician. The story line is fairly easy to follow and Owens is not trying to be vague or ambiguous with his lyrics, they are pretty blunt and straightforward. On the standout track “Here We Go” Owens says “and if your heart is broken, you will find fellowship with me.” This line is perfect, because there truly are few musicians that can write as emotionally relatable music as Christopher Owens.
This record has some great lyrics, but it has the most full instrumentation to have backed Owens yet. The album is full of flutes, steel guitars, saxophone, organs, pianos and more. It is here that this release becomes noticeably different form Owens work in Girls. Though, the song “New York City” does resemble something Girls would have done, the use of the saxophone brings a unique twist. This is one of the most upbeat songs and is one of the best tracks on the album.
Lysandre is a great start to Christopher Owens solo career. It has all the best qualities of his previous work, but is also a completely fresh and unique release from him. The album is a bit short and perhaps a bit overindulgent with the instrumentation, but Owens songwriting ability is so strong that these problems are easily overlooked. This album is not as easily digested as Owens work in Girls, but for those who are fans of his previous work or anyone who is interested in great songwriting, played with some of the greatest sincerity in music today, should check this out.

3 of us were playing Uno, and somebody layed down a regular wild card. I tried to play the next card because it was my turn, but everybody said that it skipped my turn. I don't believe it did. Please answer soon!
No, it does not skip your turn. There is a separate card called “Skip” that does that, Wild only allows you to change the color being played.
From the rules:
Wild Card - When you play this card, you may change the color being played to any color (including the current color) to continue play. You may play a Wild card even if you have another playable card in hand. If this card is turned up at the beginning of play, the person to the left of the dealer chooses the color to begin play and plays the first card.
Nothing about skipping a player is mentioned.

Elland are poised to give a National Conference debut to their former junior Ed Barber in tomorrow’s Division Two date with Eastmoor at Greetland.
Barber, a centre or stand off from Outlane who signed for Huddersfield as a junior, has played Championship rugby for Dewsbury in 2012 but was released by the Rams last week.
“I’ve got Ed signed on and he should certainly improve us,” said coach Karl Fairbank.
“He’ll probably play at six and he should give us a bit more structure in attack.
“He’s got a pretty good kicking game as well. He’ll go well in this division.”
Tomorrow’s game will be played as the second half of a double-header, with Elland’s A team taking on the Dragons’ second string at 1pm before the main event at 3pm.
It will be Elland’s first game in two weeks and only their third in seven after a succession of blank weekends, although a second team friendly against Siddal’s A team at the weekend gave Fairbank the chance to offer match practice.
“They won pretty well, something like 46-26, and anyone who wanted to play was given the chance,” said the former Test prop.
“Ethan Ingham played 80 minutes, Ben Fairbank played 80 minutes and they’ll both be better for that.
“We lost at Eastmoor earlier in the season and they’re a pretty similar kind of team.”


An automatic fire sprinkler is a device which is designed to activate automatically when a fire occurs, spraying water to suppress the fire and keep smoke down. As a general rule, all fire sprinklers are automatic because these systems are designed as active fire protection systems which will kick into operation without requiring any activity on the part of a human operator. Sprinkler systems are required by law in many types of buildings around the world, and in others, they are strongly recommended.
Fire sprinkler systems generally operate on dedicated plumbing which is designed to ensure a steady supply to the sprinklers in the event of a fire. Each sprinkler is equipped with a small glass bulb filled with fluid. When the room heats up, thermal expansion causes the bulb to break, activating the sprinkler. An automatic fire sprinkler can be rated to activate in different temperatures, depending on the setting and the need.
According to fire researchers, automatic fire sprinkler systems save lives. In fact, multiple loss of life has not been recorded in a sprinklered building with properly operating sprinklers. Fire sprinklers also cut down on property damage and associated loss, which is one reason they are popular with insurance companies, as these companies know that the amount of a payout can be significantly reduced in a sprinklered building.
The installation of an automatic fire sprinkler system is, in fact, regarded as one of the most important fire safety measures which can be taken to protect people and property in the event of a fire. The system should also be combined with warning devices which will sound alarms and flash lights in the event of a fire so that occupants of the building can be made aware that there is a problem. Other fire protection measures include using fire resistant materials, designing structures in a way which will thwart the spread of fire, using electrical wiring which meets or exceeds the code, and taking other steps to reduce the risk that a fire will break out.
An automatic fire sprinkler system needs to be custom designed for the space. A fire protection professional can come in to review the space and draw up a scheme for sprinkler installation which will provide maximum coverage. The system also needs to consider the conditions in the space; for example, temperatures can be high near the ceiling in a kitchen, and thus a fire sprinkler system which activates at a relatively low temperature might end up going off on a hot summer day, which is not desirable. When designed well, the risks of inadvertent activation are very low.

Liverpool have been given a boost for a potential transfer as Mason Mount and Chelsea have reportedly put contract talks on hold.
According to The Athletic, Mount has just over a year left on his current Chelsea contract and has turned down multiple offers to stay and commit his future to the Blues.
The England international was recently linked as Liverpool’s target in a Football Transfers report, and the Reds certainly need more quality in midfield after this very challenging season.
Mount hasn’t played his best for Chelsea this season, but he’s not the only one as the whole team looks far from the best under Graham Potter and there are plenty of new signings coming in. It’s been a tumultuous time for Stamford Bridge.
It could be a good time for Mount to try a new challenge, Fabrizio Romano told Catchoffside EXCLUSIVELY that the 24-year-old may think he’s a good fit for Liverpool.
Other Stories / the latest news
“I think the best idea for Mason Mount and Chelsea is to continue together. He needs more confidence, but I think he’s a great player,” said Romano.
“He would be a great option for any club, including Liverpool, should contract talks fall apart. But I hope Chelsea and Mount find a way together.”
It remains to be seen if CFC and Mount can resume contract talks in the near future, but if you’re a fan of the West London giants and want to see this local talent, this doesn’t look like a particularly good sign. .Stayed.
Liverpool are no doubt keeping an eye on the situation as they hope to find replacements such as Jordan Henderson, James Milner and Thiago Alcantara in the long term.


You may remember the massive airbag recall that began in 2008. Well, it isn’t over yet, according to a recent report from Reuters. The Japan-based company Takata Corp has issued a recall on 5.1 million more American cars. These cars may have the same airbag defects that have been linked to 9 deaths in the United States and more worldwide. This brings the total number of Takata-related recalled vehicles in the U.S. up to 24 million.
What You Need to Know
In a crash, your airbag will inflate at a speed of 200 mph. In the defective Takata airbags, the metal inflator cartridge may explode, spraying those shards of metal into the car – and into passengers – as the airbag inflates. These defective designs are obviously a serious safety hazard.
Don’t assume you aren’t at risk. Although the majority of past recalls have been on older model cars, the new recalls include some 2014 models. Our Taylor King Law legal team recommends checking the new recall list to be sure your car isn’t involved. You can find a complete list of recalled vehicles from the National Highway Transportation Safety Administration here.
Ask for Help Today
Vehicle safety has come a long way over the years, and airbags work to protect passengers the vast majority of the time. But the complex process of airbag inflation occurs in 1/25 of a second, meaning that even the slightest malfunction could cause serious injury or even death. If you or a loved one have been injured in a car accident because of defective or malfunctioning airbags, call Taylor King today at 1-800-CAR-WRECK (1-800-227-9732) to begin your FREE, no-obligation consultation.

Priced out of the Cotswolds? Here’s where to buy in Somerset
If it’s good enough for Mariella... why the It crowd are looking west, from bohemian Bruton to hippy Glastonbury
Just as gentrification creeps from one neighbourhood to the next in the capital, so the London effect is encroaching on the countryside. With the Cotswolds going beyond the financial reach of the middle classes, buyers are heading west to Somerset, encouraged by the ability to WFH part or full-time.
In March Rightmove found that the Somerset town of Bruton was the No 1 countryside location for sales growth. There was a 122 per cent increase in sales from March 2020 to the same month in 2021, and the average house price rose by 19 per cent.
Much has been written about the transformation of this once sleepy farming village. Although it has long attracted bohemian types, the buzz really began in 2008 with the opening

- Artist: DJ Kay Slay
- Track: 6 Million Ways to Die ft. Papoose, Bun B, & Chamillionaire
- Feat. Bun B, Chamillionaire
- Producer: Stay Gettin and DJ Kay Slay
- Album: More Than Just a DJ
When a well-known mixtape DJ compiles a full-length album, strong lyrical firepower tends to accompany it, and when that DJ is Kay Slay, you can expect nothing less than the best. On 6 Million Ways to Die, an inclusion on his forthcoming studio album, three highly energized emcees bring the heat over a sample from the Snoop Dogg classic, Serial Killa; Bun B emphasizes how he's ready for anything, while Papoose reminds us of Sean Bell, the recent southern hurricanes, and the possibility of Barack Obama being assassinated. On the song’s final verse, however, Chamillionaire (maintaining his curse-free style) entertainingly makes it clear that he doesn’t like the police any more now than he did when he was Ridin' Dirty. Though More Than Just a DJ currently has no set release date, underground mixtape buzz could give it a sturdy calendar spot.


The Ten Year Guatemalan Spring
By Diana Pastor
In these days of mass protests one is reminded of a time in Guatemalan history when the country went through an unsurpassed period of civic and political blossoming. It all started after the revolution on the 20th October 1944, when a movement of students, workers and labourers organised huge protests to demand the resignation of President Jorge Ubico, a despotic dictator who had curtailed freedom of expression and acted as a puppet controlled by the powerful international interests that essentially ruled Guatemala at the time. Following immense pressure from all sectors of society that yearned for a change for the country, General Ubico resigned and in so doing paved the way for the first democratic elections that would be held in the country after a period of tyranny and injustice that lasted over 14 years.
That moment will forever remain in the history books of the country: the moment when ordinary Guatemalans won the battle against the powers-that-be. Better times were fast approaching for the country.
The masses elected Dr. Juan Jose Arevalo for the presidency, an education specialist who had been residing in Argentina up until that point as his radical ideas had caused him to flee Guatemala in exile in order to protect his life. When he returned to the country and ran for president, he won a considerable number of votes that earned him an outright majority.
And so it was. Arevalo’s government was characterized by educational reforms and series of progressive policies aimed at benefitting the poorest sectors of the population, the middle class and intellectuals concerned about the situation in the country. However, the old oligarchy and the powerful interests, supported by the conservative wing of the army, were not too happy with his actions and so they soon began to plot coups against his government. There were more than 30 coup attempts during his presidency, and so Arevalo found himself stuck in between a hostile environment and his duties as president of the country. When his 4 years came to an end, the outgoing speech of Dr. Arevalo was not as enthusiastic as the one he made when he took office.
However Dr. Arevalo achieved some important changes for Guatemala during his time as president. He passed the labor code that established a number of important rights and institutions for workers, such as the Institute of Social Security and the bank of Guatemala. He also gave autonomy to the three powers of the state and to the municipalities. Moreover, he gave suffrage to women and to illiterate people for the first time. Arevalo knew that the outlook for the next president, Jacobo Arbenz Guzman, would be challenging. Arbenz took office in 1951 with a world of challenges and hopes placed in his hands. But even he could not have foreseen what would happen in the years of his presidency.
But more on that next month!

Updated, 7:20 p.m.: with information from a news conference with authorities.
AUSTIN — Investigators were tight-lipped and details scarce, but authorities provided a few hints Wednesday about how they were able to track down Mark Conditt, the suspected Austin serial bomber.
In a phone call with reporters, Gov. Greg Abbott said investigators pieced the case together by using video surveillance footage and cellphone information and detecting Conditt’s vehicle at several of the bombing locations.
Five explosions that left two dead and four injured rocked the city for three weeks before Wednesday morning, when federal and local authorities pinpointed the suspect’s location. He detonated a bomb in his car, which may have killed him, though an autopsy was pending.
Malcolm Brady, a former assistant director of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, said the break probably came from long hours of work from the more than 500 investigators working the case and examining evidence.
That the bomber started to send packages through FedEx was a big break for authorities, said Brady, who is now retired. A top FedEx executive said the company provided key evidence that helped identify the suspect.
Chief operating officer David Bronczek said in a note to employees that FedEx was able to give the information to law enforcement “because of our advanced security capabilities and the vigilance of our team members.”
Bronczek did not describe the information FedEx provided, and company representatives declined to comment further. But U.S. Rep. Michael McCaul, chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee, said the suspect’s “fatal mistake” was mailing a package from a FedEx store because it gave authorities surveillance video that showed him and his vehicle, including the license plate number.
ABC reported Wednesday that Conditt had used the alias "Kelly Killmore" to ship two packages containing bombs through the delivery service, though local officials would not confirm that, citing the continuing investigation.
Though the suspect appears to be wearing a disguise in the photos from surveillance video that have been released, authorities could have interviewed workers at the store about his appearance and tracked down more details about where the package could have originated, Brady said.
Abbott said the presence of the same vehicle at different locations associated with the bombing helped investigators narrow the search.
Brady, who spent 30 years in the ATF and investigated the 9/11 terrorist attacks, said investigators also probably reverse-engineered the construction of bombs by studying their components.
“We’re putting all that together and we’re finding out where he could have bought that particular type of material,” Brady said. “Is there a Walmart there? What stores are in the particular area that might sell this particular stuff?”
The hundreds of investigators were probably contacting local stores to see who had bought the materials used in bombs as another way to narrow the search, Brady said. And if a purchase seemed suspicious, the investigators could see if surveillance cameras captured footage of the suspicious person or his vehicle.
“You can narrow it down to a store,” Brady said. “I’ve done that on a lot of bombings and arsons.”
Indeed, Abbott said authorities knew that one of the items used in the tripwire explosion — a sign cautioning passers-by that children were at play — had been purchased at a Home Depot.
Studying the bomb materials also helped authorities determine that all of the devices had been made by the same person.
"The ATF explosive experts working with the FBI bomb technicians have been able to reconstruct all the devices throughout this investigation," said Fred Milanowski, the special agent in charge of the ATF's Houston division. "To the public, they may look different, but when you look at the internal components, they're very similar to us, and from laboratory analysis we know it was the same person who made these."
Cellphone information also played a key role, Abbott said. Using cellphone towers, authorities can pull the information of all phone users in an area during a particular time, Brady said.
Usually, federal authorities request a warrant to pull data from cellphone towers, Brady said.
But in Texas, they don’t need warrants, said Scott Henson, senior policy director with Just Liberty, a criminal justice organization. In theory, he said, Texas authorities could get that information using a subpoena.
In a news release Wednesday, federal and local officials said they had filed a federal criminal complaint and filed for a warrant for Conditt’s arrest Tuesday night.
Abbott said authorities had been tracking Conditt for almost 24 hours before his death. Investigators declined to comment on whether they asked for a warrant to access Conditt’s phone information. The cover pages of the criminal complaint and warrant filing were unsealed, but the entire affidavit for the complaint remained under seal.
Henson said a case argued in front of the U.S. Supreme Court in November — Carpenter vs. United States — could soon decide whether a warrant is always required to access cellphone information. Federal court decisions have already led to most agencies asking for warrants to authorize such searches, Henson said.
“It’s a privacy argument,” Henson said. “It’s the information that you can get about your location and at an incredible level of detail.”
Now, authorities are left to examine what motivated the bomber to start spreading explosive devices across the city. On Wednesday, Austin interim Police Chief Brian Manley said Conditt had left a 25-minute recording on his phone.
His motive didn't appear to be hate or terrorism, and he gave no explanation of his choice of targets, Manley said.
“The hardest part to figure out in this is what caused him to go this far,” Brady said. “We’ve seen people get angry and throw rocks at windows, but this is well thought out and well angered at something."
“Right now it’s just cleanup — they gotta pull it all together,” he continued. “We gotta figure out what made him do this. We want to try to learn from this as to what caused this individual to go this far to want to kill somebody.”
The Associated Press contributed to this story.

Ever wondered just how the touchscreen on your mobile phone, tablet, Brought television, or other device really works? It is incredible to think that people can now problem commands to the devices using the touch in our hand even though this technology may appear new, it’s actually been about since the 60’s.
In fact, we’ve got the technology behind the actual touch screen can in fact traced back to the 40’s but it was just two decades later on that it really became possible to use on a sizable scale.
Automatic teller machines have been using technologies since 1965 that is when At the.A. Manley invented the very first finger-driven touch screen that really used exactly the same capacitive touch system that is nevertheless used in mobile phones and other products to this day.
However, there are other kinds of touch screen technologies such as resistive contact or multi-touch technology, capacitive contact technology is the one which is favored for produced in higher quantities consumer items.
How is the Capacitive Touch Screen Created?
Today, the capacitive touch screen functions through the use of a good ITO touch movie that is connected to the screen. This particular touch movie is basically the semiconductor that has been printed using semiconductor production methods for example roll in order to roll digesting which uses the roll in order to roll evaporator program to create a digital device on the flexible plastic material.
A move to move evaporator system through industry leading producers are able to bulk produce ITO contact film you can use on numerous devices for example smart phones, Liquid crystal display or Brought screens, capsules, and Computer monitors.
Move to move technology is the most well-liked method more than other systems such as move to dish and dish to dish technologies because of it supplying a continuous procedure and higher throughput than these. That ITO contact film will be programmed utilizing software that allows us to provide our products instructions by using our fingertips on the screen.
Actually, semiconductor manufacturing procedures such as the move to move evaporator system can be used for many other items too, for example solar panels, digital cameras, and ink jet printers.
Now you have a essense of exactly where technology originated from and the technologies that is used to create the semiconductor movie that is used upon touch displays today. With out machines which use a move to move evaporator system, we’d not be able to benefit from the many touchscreen devices that are offered to us these days.


text: Creating dreamscapes is where I find refuge in these landscapes. An appreciation for rocks stemmed from ancient religious attitudes toward nature, which included the veneration of mountains. Rocks were believed to have a concentrated amount of natural energy and symbolized the dwelling places of the Daoist immortals. I make my own rocks by drawing lines with different kinds of brush strokes (soft, hard, big and small, refined, rough with different energy force) or make monotypes which have the resemblance to rocks and landscapes. I juxtapose the rockeries by cutting my drawings and monotypes into pieces and rebuild them and stack them block by block. During the collage process, the landscapes and rockeries are fused together into my dreamscapes.

SARASOTA — Not all of the medical news coming out of Yankees camp is bad.
One day after Curtis Granderson suffered a fractured right forearm, Mariano Rivera and CC Sabathia took steps forward in return from surgeries.
The staff ace and closer threw batting practice Monday at George M. Steinbrenner Field in Tampa and reported no problems with their body parts that were operated on last year.
Sabathia had a bone spur removed from the left elbow last October and Rivera had a torn ACL in the right knee repaired in June.
“It was fine,” Sabathia said.”The slider was not as sharp as I wanted it to be but it felt pretty good for the first time.”
Sabathia said he will throw another batting practice Thursday. After that he could be ready for a simulated game or an exhibition game.
To the uneducated eye, Rivera has been so smooth in bullpen and batting practice sessions that it’s hard to believe he is 43 and coming off major surgery.
While GM Brian Cashman said that March 10 is a likely return date for Derek Jeter, the Yankees haven’t done the same with Rivera.
“He is getting closer but my guess is he will do a simulated game before a real game just to control it,” manager Joe Girardi said of the all-time saves leader.
As for Jeter, if his left ankle that fractured in Game 1 of the ALCS allows him to be ready for Opening Day, Girardi said he will bat in one of the top two spots in the lineup. Girardi could hit Jeter leadoff against lefties and second against right-handers with Ichiro Suzuki or Brett Gardner hitting first in the second scenario.
Melky Mesa and Zoilo Almonte are legitimate candidates to make the team with Granderson out until early May. While the Yankees would prefer not to use younger players off the bench, Mesa is the best defensive outfielder in camp and has showed power at the plate. The right-handed hitter slugged 23 homers for Trenton (Double-A) and SWB (Triple-A) last summer.
Almonte , a switch-hitter, is a solid defender and hit 21 homers and drove in 77 runs last year for Trenton.
Granderson was slated to play left field today against the Orioles at Ed Smith Stadium but that assignment fell to Mesa. Expect to see Matt Diaz and Juan Rivera, veterans on minor league deals, to play left, too.

Fans Walk Out on Tracy Morgan During Raunchy Routine
By PopEater Staff Posted Nov 10th 2009 07:46AM
Tracy Morgan brought his brand irreverent humor to the upper-crusty confines of NYC's Carnegie Hall on Friday, but many fans were shocked and appalled by what they heard. According to the NY Daily News, the '30 Rock' star was "unspeakably filthy" throughout the show and inspired many customers to walk out in disgust. To be fair, Morgan made it clear who they paid to see: "You want the clean Tracy? Turn on the TV," he told them.
One audience member said people were "shocked and appalled with what was coming out of his mouth," including trash-talking about homosexuality (it's "a choice"), drugs, sex acts and pornography. One joke merged politics and the ever-growing catalog of celebrity sex tapes going around.
"Obama is really changing the White House, because he and Michelle will have the first presidential sex tape out," he said.
The News' spy reports "a continuous flow of people getting up and leaving throughout the show," including a legion of middle-aged women who grew uncomfortable when Moran began mimicking sex acts on stage.
Not everyone was appalled by his routine, though. Spike Lee and 'Rock' co-star Jane Krakowski were both in attendance and reportedly joined in on a standing ovation.
The former 'Saturday Night Live' comedian recently released a tell-all, 'I Am the New Black,' and even stopped by the PopEater offices to (cleanly) crack us up. Watch here and here.
Tracy Morgan Visits PopEater
"I just think that this was the right time. I mean, you know, I was mature enough. And I wanted to tell my story. I don't know how long I'm gonna be here, and I think,you know, the changing in the world and the president, all of those things that happened in world in the last two years inspired me," Tracy Morgan explains to PopEater why he wanted to write his book, 'I Am the New Black.'

Marta Ines Quintana, Founder, Havana Road Cuban Cafe and Artisanal Products
After a taste of Marta Ines Quintana’s cuisine, you would swear she’s been serving up dishes in upscale restaurants for decades. The Cuban-born Quintana — founder of Havana Road Cuban Cafe and Artisanal Products — has seen her recipes garner raves from grocery stores, TV shows, publishers, and customers at her Towson restaurant. But it was just three years ago that Quintana made a jump to running a culinary enterprise with revenue nearing $1 million in 2011 and on pace to exceed that in 2012.
Like many others, Quintana, 55, was hit hard by the recession in 2008. She was laid off as vice president of sales and marketing at Columbia’s Premium Health Services, a pharmaceutical distributor. She hunted around, but marketing jobs were hard to come by. After a frustrating, infuriating and fruitless job search, Quintana decided to return to her first love: food.
Her resume in the cooking field began and ended with catering her own wedding for 75 people in 1985. Regardless, she was certain she was making the right move. In early 2009 Quintana and her daughter, Ines Maria, made a series of cooking videos to post on YouTube.
“Back then I really wasn’t much into the whole YouTube scene,” Quintana said. But, “From there I received a phone call from Steven Schupak at [Maryland Public Television] and he said, ‘You’re a diamond in the rough.’ ”
Three years after that initial call, Quintana got a letter of intent from MPT for a bilingual cooking show, which is still in development.
Another break came when Quintana attended a dinner party in August 2009, where she met a representative from supermarket chain Whole Foods. He said if she could prepare five varieties of her sauces for him, that he would help her get a retail line into Whole Foods. She did, and her Havana Road Artisanal Foods line of salsas and condiments hit the shelves of Maryland Whole Foods stores in November 2009.
After visiting a few stores, Quintana noticed the kitchen staffs at Whole Foods were buying her sauces to prepare store items. She then thought, “Forget the retail, I’m going to wholesale the line.”
Expanding her business to wholesale was more lucrative and less labor-intensive for Quintana, so she secured a private loan for a commercial kitchen in Towson. With the added real estate, Quintana started thinking of different revenue streams and decided to open a restaurant.
Quintana opened Havana Road Cuban Cafe on Sept. 30, 2010. In the cafe’s first year, the Restaurant Association of Maryland named it a “Top Five New Restaurant in Maryland 2011.” The restaurant also received a “Best of Baltimore” award from Baltimore Magazine for its Cuban sandwich.
Above and beyond her impending MPT show, Quintana normally makes one TV appearance a week in cooking segments on local news stations in Baltimore and Washington, D.C. She also has a cookbook in the works. “I’m a multitasker. You have to be if you have an entrepreneurial spirit, and you have to be a risk-taker, which I am,” she said.

I recieved this up-date from Floyd Brown just this evening, it shows how incidious our government has become. It is pure ALINSKY in nature, it is a communist plan to destroy AMERICA Join us in stopping this monster in its' track. Read this friends. (The more we learn about the ObamaCare bill the less we like it. A shocking revelation was made today by the Ranking Member of the House Ways and Means Committee Dave Camp (R-MI, who released a letter from the non-partisan Joint Committee on Taxation (JCT) confirming that the failure to buy health insurance under the Pelosi health care bill (H.R. 3962, as amended) could land people in jail. That is right jail.The JCT letter makes clear that Americans who do not maintain “acceptable health insurance coverage” and who choose not to pay the bill’s new individual mandate tax (generally 2.5% of income), are subject to numerous civil and criminal penalties, including criminal fines of up to $250,000 and imprisonment of up to five years.In response to the JCT letter, Camp said: “This is the ultimate example of the Democrats’ command-and-control style of governing – buy what we tell you or go to jail. It is outrageous and it should be stopped immediately.”Key excerpts from the JCT letter appear below:“H.R. 3962 provides that an individual (or a husband and wife in the case of a joint return) who does not, at any time during the taxable year, maintain acceptable health insurance coverage for himself or herself and each of his or her qualifying children is subject to an additional tax.” [page 1]“If the government determines that the taxpayer’s unpaid tax liability results from willful behavior, the following penalties could apply…” [page 2]“Criminal penaltiesProsecution is authorized under the Code for a variety of offenses. Depending on the level of the noncompliance, the following penalties could apply to an individual:• Section 7203 – misdemeanor willful failure to pay is punishable by a fine of up to $25,000 and/or imprisonment of up to one year.• Section 7201 – felony willful evasion is punishable by a fine of up to $250,000 and/or imprisonment of up to five years.” [page 3]“The Senate Finance Committee had the good sense to eliminate the extreme penalty of incarceration. Speaker Pelosi’s decision to leave in the jail time provision is a threat to every family who cannot afford the $15,000 premium her plan creates.” said Camp.According to the Congressional Budget Office the lowest cost family non-group plan under the Speaker’s bill would cost $15,000 in 2016.And Obama and Pelosi do this on the weekend after it is announced that the U.S. unemployment rose to 10.2% to hit its highest level in more than 26 years, a sign the jobs market continues to struggle as the economy tries to exit this deep recession.ObamaCare will only increase unemployment and prolong the recession. Act fast they are working to ram this down the throats of Americans in a late night vote as early as today.

New marketing guidelines issued in Sweden
The Swedish Gambling Association (SPER) and the Swedish Trade Association for Online Gambling (BOS) has released new “moderate” marketing and advertising codes in Sweden.
Swedish operators will have to adhere to the new nine-point code of conduct issued this week.
The code comes after a period of sustained pressure on operators regarding their advertising and marketing practices. Minister for Civil Affairs, Ardalan Shekarabi, has led that charge, repeatedly calling for stricter regulation of the way the gambling industry can advertise in Sweden.
Speaking at a meeting in February, Shekarabi had warned operators about reducing their marketing and issued a deadline of the end of March, before government would intervene.
Advertising guidelines in Sweden were previously open to interpretation, with operators bound only to advertise “in moderation”.
Both the SPER and the BOS had criticised the Swedish government over the lack of clarity towards the rules around gambling advertising. With the new code, the groups said their aim is that “marketing shall not encourage excessive gambling among consumers”.
However, the BOS have warned against an advertising ban being floated by the Swedish government. Speaking about that, Gustaf Hoffstedt, CEO of the BOS, said:
Why should licensed operators that pay Swedish gambling tax and comply with Swedish regulation continue to do so if their strongest advantage compared to the unlicensed operators – the possibility to advertise in national media – is taken away from them.– Gustaf Hoffstedt, BOS CEO
The guidelines can be amended by both associations on an ongoing basis and will act as adjudicators in the face of any violations by their members. Violations can also be forwarded to the Swedish Advertising Ombudsman, the Swedish Consumer Agency and the Swedish Gambling Authority.
Public opinion is well behind at least a reduction in the amount of gambling adverts. A study by Kantar Sifo found that nine in ten Swedes believed there to be too many gambling adverts. Over three-quarters of those surveyed supported stricter regulation of gambling advertising.

A summary of Donald Trump's extensive telephone conversation with Fox News last weekend.
The conversation was of course mainly about the impeachment circus. This investigation and the interrogations were so absurd and crazy that you can hardly believe that this is all real. See the highlights from that telephone conversation here. We have subtitled it.
The interrogations of the past 5 days were hilarious. The large-scale circus of the Democrats in the umpteenth attempt to oust this President ended in one big comedy.
Everything revolved around 1 telephone call from Donald Trump with Zelenski, the President of Ukraine. Was there Quid Pro Quo? Donald Trump would withhold support money if there were no investigation into Biden.
The President of Ukraine should also make this publicly known too.
The umpteenth false accusation to get this man away. The left has gone crazy. It indicates what they are capable of when they have lost. Something is seriously wrong with these people.
Do you think that's an exaggeration? Then view this summary of the interrogations. You don't know what you see!
Even after this circus, the media continue to claim that Trump is in a tight corner. These interrogations were seen by the press as a victory for the Dems.
For the Republicans, people with common sense, the Trump supporters and for Donald Trump himself, these have of course been 5 fantastic days.
To see your opponent go off like this should give satisfaction after everything they've done to this man.
The best part is that they still don't seem to notice, although some Democrats now also have their reservations. Because what we have seen in the last 5 days was really too insane for words.
The NOS also creates other reality as you could see in the video. The channel that has never spoken one positive word about the President of America just turns the story around and only broadcasts what they want us to see.
As an example. Put the images that you have just seen beside this piece by Arjen van der Horst, reporter of the NOS:
The Republican strategy: scatter sand in impeachment research
The tide is turning! Now it is the Republicans' and Trump's turn.
“There is a lot to happen in the coming weeks!” said Donald Trump.
A good listener who has followed it a bit knows what is about to happen. Heads are rolling! And those are not the heads of the Republicans or those of Trump.
We also think we know what is about to happen. If that is the case then we finally have a lot of cheerful articles with good news from America in the coming weeks! And it is also extremely important for Europe that Donald Trump be re-elected in 2020.
To be continued!
If you want to know a little more about the smear against Trump that is being waged by the media and the Democrats, read on.
The witch hunt of the Democrats and the media has been going on for over 3 years now. From the moment Trump has applied to this day, people are intensively trying to blacken Donald Trump and get rid of the White House.
To have an idea how crazy the media works, here are some short videos.
Trump gives secret Nazi message:
Watch the first 5 minutes of this "Left Madness Compilation" and see how the media operated even before the elections. Hilarious!
Left demagogy of the Dems against Trump:
Why does Trump need to be turned off if necessary?
They are terrified of Trump. This man has become President with one purpose. Expose all corruption!
And once more ... Donald Trump's speech that inspired millions of Americans to vote for Donald Trump:

After years of fairly high spending and enrollment trends in the Medicaid program, both have tapered off significantly this year and are expected to remain flat in 2013, according to a report from the Kaiser Family Foundation.
Enrollment in Medicaid grew only 3.2 percent this year, while spending grew just 2 percent. That compares to a 9.7 percent spending bump in 2011 and a 4.4 percent increase in enrollment, according to the Kaiser data.
Spending on Medicaid is projected to grow 3.7 percent in 2013, while enrollment will climb 2.7 percent.
Much of the spending curbs came in the form of payment cuts to hospitals and other medical providers, along with the elimination of ancillary benefits such as dental and vision coverage, according to The New York Times. Moreover, much of the additional Medicaid funding from the stimulus package also began tapering off.
"Reining in costs remains the dominant theme," Diane Rowland, a Kaiser Family Foundation executive vice president, said last week in a statement. However, Rowland noted "the improving economy has offered states more leeway to move forward on delivery system reforms and implementation of the Affordable Care Act."
The report pointed out some providers, such as physicians, will receive payment bumps in 2014 as part of the ACA.


The body of the rescuer who sustained severe burn injuries while trying to rescue trapped garment worker Shaheena from Rana Plaza rubble arrived in Dhaka on Monday.
Mohammad Ezazuddin Kaikobad, 35, died at a Singapore hospital around 10:55pm (Bangladesh time) Saturday, struggling for life for six days.
His first namaz-e-janaza was held at Tejturi Bazar Jame Mosque in the city’s Karwan Bazar after Asr prayers on Tuesday.
His body has been kept at the CMH’s mortuary. He will be buried at Banani graveyard with state honour after a second namaz at the premise of Central Army Mosque after Johr prayers Wednesday.
Ezaz along with five other rescuers, including two army personnel, entered a tunnel inside the rubble of Rana Plaza on April 28 to pull out garment worker Shaheena, who got trapped behind a beam on the third floor.
The rescuers earlier sliced some rods of the beam, but could not pull Shaheena out, as her body could not slip through the tiny space.
Around 10:00pm on Sunday, when Ezaz was cutting a rod with power saw, a fire broke out from the sparks that originated from the rod-cutting, prompting the rescue team to retreat immediately.
He was admitted to the burn unit of CMH in Dhaka with around 55 percent burn injuries.
On April 30, Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina visited Ezaz at Dhaka CMH and instructed the authorities concerned to send him to Singapore for better treatment by an air ambulance.
The Prime Minister’s Office (PMO) bore the cost of his treatment.
Ezaz, who was involved in building construction jobs, used to reside in Khachukhet in the capital.
The nine-storey Rana Plaza housing five garment factories crushed down on several thousand people mostly garment workers on April 24.

Brooke Shields has had an incredible modeling and acting career, but not everything has been easy. This is why the protective mom had reservations about her daughter Grier Henchy’s interest in modeling.
In a recent interview with Live with Kelly and Mark, Shields confessed that she “fought” the idea of Grier modeling for “so long.” She said Grier, whose father is Christopher Thomas Henchy, is doing “little things here and there,” but Grier but she has to wait until she’s older, since she is still 17. “The rules have changed,” she said, “I’m just so happy about that.” Grier will turn 18 on April 18, 2024.
The 58-year-old revealed that Grier, who is reported online as 5’8 or 5’9, is interested in runway modeling. While Shields never did it, she knows the industry. “That’s brutal,” she said. “Backstage is brutal.” The Chalet Girl actress admitted that she doesn’t think she could have handled it.
Now that Grier will soon be able to pursue her dreams, Brooke said, “I finally had to give in.” But the experienced mom made some conditions. Shields told Grier, “a.) I’m not gonna be your manager. You’re going to be with an agency. You’re going to have a great work ethic. It’s not going to be comfortable and you’re gonna listen to me.” The final condition, she has to go to college.
Shields was managed by her mother, who she said protected her. “My mom was my manager, and we were glued at the hip, which probably was how I could survive because you couldn’t get to me,“ she said. ”She was such a mama bear and so protective. On the one hand, I was very naive and on the other, I was just thrown into this crazy world.”
The model, who recently opened up about her date with JFK Jr, also talked about how much the industry has changed. “It’s so much faster now. We didn’t have social media when I was a model you know? I wasn’t traveling all over to Europe unless it was for photo shoots it didn’t do show after show after the show which is just such a rat race,” she explained. But at the end of the day, if she’s passionate about it, Grier has her mom’s support - as long as she follows her guidelines.

A hysterectomy is a surgical procedure that involves the removal of a woman's uterus. It is one of the most common surgical interventions performed by obstetricians and gynecologists. While hysterectomy can bring relief from certain medical conditions, it is crucial to be aware of the risks and potential complications that come along with the procedure.
Understanding the Risks
Before undergoing a hysterectomy, it is important to fully understand the potential risks involved. Every surgical procedure carries some level of risk, and hysterectomy is no exception. While the benefits may outweigh the risks in many cases, it is essential to make an informed decision after considering all the facts.
Infection is one of the potential risks associated with any surgical procedure, including hysterectomy. While rare, infections can occur post-operatively. It is essential to follow the doctor's post-operative care instructions and take prescribed antibiotics if necessary to minimize the risk of infection.
Bleeding is another possible complication of hysterectomy. During the procedure, the surgeon may need to cut blood vessels to remove the uterus, which can lead to bleeding. However, modern surgical techniques and advancements have significantly reduced the risk of excessive bleeding during and after the surgery.
3. Blood Clots
Hysterectomy carries a risk of developing blood clots, medically known as deep vein thrombosis (DVT). Blood clots can form in the legs and potentially travel to the lungs, causing a pulmonary embolism. Women with preexisting conditions such as obesity, smoking, or a history of blood clots are at a higher risk. Your doctor will take precautions to minimize this risk, such as prescribing blood-thinning medications or encouraging movement post-surgery.
4. Injury to Surrounding Organs
During a hysterectomy, there is a slight risk of unintentional injury to surrounding organs, such as the bladder or intestines. Surgeons take precautions and use meticulous techniques to minimize this risk. In complex cases, they may use laparoscopic or robotic-assisted surgical techniques to enhance precision and reduce the chances of damaging nearby organs.
5. Adverse Reaction to Anesthesia
Anesthesia is a vital component of any surgical procedure, including hysterectomy. While rare, some individuals may experience adverse reactions to anesthesia. It is crucial to provide your doctor with a detailed medical history and disclose any previous allergic reactions to medications. This information will help minimize the risk of complications related to anesthesia.
6. Changes in Hormone Levels
Depending on the type of hysterectomy performed, there may be hormonal changes following the surgery. In a total hysterectomy, where the ovaries are removed along with the uterus, women may experience surgical menopause. This sudden hormonal change can lead to symptoms such as hot flashes, sleep disturbances, and mood swings. Discuss the potential hormone-related implications with your healthcare provider before the procedure.
7. Psychological Impact
Hysterectomy may have emotional and psychological impacts on some women. It is a significant life event, and feelings of loss or sadness are not uncommon. It is crucial to have a support system in place, which may include counselors or support groups specializing in women's health, to cope with any emotional challenges that may arise.
Minimizing the Risks
While it is impossible to completely eliminate all risks associated with hysterectomy, there are steps you can take to minimize them:
Choose a Skilled Surgeon
When considering a hysterectomy, it is important to find a skilled and experienced obstetrician or gynecologist. Look for a doctor with a proven track record in performing successful hysterectomies and who specializes in the procedure. Don't hesitate to ask for testimonials or seek a second opinion.
Before going into surgery, make sure to ask your healthcare provider any questions or concerns you may have. Understanding the procedure, alternative treatments, and the associated risks can help alleviate anxiety and ensure you make an informed decision.
Follow Post-Operative Care Instructions
Your doctor will provide you with specific instructions on how to care for yourself after a hysterectomy. Following these instructions diligently can significantly reduce the risk of complications and promote a smooth recovery. Be sure to attend all follow-up appointments to monitor your progress and address any concerns that may arise.
When considering a hysterectomy, it is crucial to weigh the potential risks against the potential benefits. While the risks do exist, they are generally rare, and advancements in surgical techniques have reduced the overall likelihood of complications. By understanding and acknowledging these risks, as well as taking necessary precautions, individuals can make informed decisions and optimize their chances for a successful outcome.
Remember to consult with your healthcare provider to discuss your specific medical condition, personal risks, and alternatives to hysterectomy. They will guide you through the decision-making process and provide you with the necessary information to make the best choice for your health.
