The ‘Saturday Night Live‘ juggernaut continues to rumble along in its mind-boggling 42nd season, with hosting the show now sorta being more like the Hard Rock Cafe t-shirt of entertainment gigs; it’s cool and all, but part of you only really wants it just to prove that you were there.
Regardless, with the show’s Christmas hiatus now at an end, word is slowly emerging on the fresh crop of hosts the show has reeled in for 2017. And among them is one of comedy’s hottest properties; one that, almost miraculously, hasn’t appeared on the series before.
Aziz Ansari is set to take the reins of the show on its January 21st episode, marking the first time Ansari would have ever appeared on the stage of Studio 8H.
While Ansari’s been knuckled down as of late working on season two of his critically acclaimed and hugely beloved Netflix series ‘Master of None,’ a side-trip to SNL casually marks Ansari’s first serious dalliance with sketch comedy in nearly a decade.
Save for a one-time appearance on ‘Kroll Show‘ in 2015, the last time Ansari sought sketchual healing was on his breakthrough MTV series ‘Human Giant,’ which ran for two seasons from 2007 through 2008.
Ansari’s musical guest for the SNL episode is scheduled to be rapper Big Sean, also making his debut appearance on the show.
Now if only we can get Nasim Pedrad back on a one-time deal so we can get duelling Aziz’s, we’ll really be in business.
Aziz Ansari’s episode of ‘Saturday Night Live‘ is scheduled to air on January 21st. Season 2 of ‘Master Of None‘ is set to hit Netflix at some point this year.

Interest escalates in doctor's African mission
Dr. Frank Artress, the former Modesto cardiac anesthesiologist turned African bush doctor, has found little time to eat since his story went around the world a month ago.
On Wednesday, he was on his fourth hurried plate of marinated beef at a Walnut Creek fundraiser when it was again time to tell his story, featured in The Chronicle on May 4, to a gathering of would-be donors.
Artress nearly died from high-altitude pulmonary edema while on a 2002 trek up Mount Kilimanjaro, prompting him and his wife, Susan Gustafson, to make a 180-degree life change. They sold everything they owned and moved from Modesto to Tanzania to administer health care in one of the poorest nations in the world. They wanted to give back to the people who ran Artress down the mountain on a stretcher while singing Swahili prayer songs.
Every year since, the couple have spent one month in the United States, fundraising at house parties and collecting checks from friends and family. The donations helped them open a small clinic last month in Karatu, where they have already treated patients with broken bones and chronic seizures.
In recent weeks, interest in their work has multiplied as Artress' story, about the social power of the individual, has spread on the Internet. The outpouring comes as philanthropy is becoming more personal, through microloans or community service projects in public schools. With technology exposing the plight of the world's poor, volunteerism is on the rise and the Bay Area tops the list of the most-generous regions.
Two decades ago, bookstores were filled with best-sellers about how to make a million. Today, books such as "Three Cups of Tea" and "Mountains Beyond Mountains" are best-sellers that inspire humanitarian activism and are helping raise millions of dollars for charity.
"The response has been absolutely overwhelming," Artress said. "We've done 27 fundraisers in a month and held countless meetings in between. We have to build volunteer housing in Tanzania - fast."
Five foundations have asked Artress and Gustafson to write grant proposals, pronto. Screenwriters are calling. The U.S. ambassador in Tanzania is redistributing the story in East Africa.
And several hundred people who read the story have offered to volunteer - so many that the couple have hired a lawyer from the Rwandan war crimes tribunal in Arusha, Tanzania, to be their volunteer coordinator.
"Dozens and dozens of doctors, medical professionals and nurses want to come to Tanzania and help us," Artress told two dozen interested donors gathered in a living room in Walnut Creek last week.
On April 16, four days before the couple left Tanzania for their U.S. fundraising tour, they opened a 12-bed clinic in Karatu, a rural town with dirt roads where the patient-to-doctor ratio is 60,000 to 1.
It is the first building on their 18-acre plot, with sweeping views of the Ngorongoro jungle, ringed by purple jacaranda trees and bougainvillea. They hired a 12-member medical team for the clinic, to treat patients with malaria, tuberculosis, worms, AIDS and common infections.
"For 40 cents, we can give a kid a shot that gets rid of worms - and almost every child we see has worms," Gustafson said.
Dr. Kim Shriner of Huntington Hospital in Pasadena, an infectious disease specialist who has led HIV medical teams to Tanzania each year since 2001, invited Artress and Gustafson to her home for breakfast after reading the story. By the end of the meal, they agreed to join forces in Tanzania in February so Artress could bring Shriner to the more remote Maasai villages for an HIV clinic there. Shriner also said Huntington Hospital would be able to ship medical supplies to Artress.
"Frank and Susan's work just shows that you don't have to be a Bono to make a difference in Africa," Shriner said. "Anybody can do this."
"When my husband died 15 years ago, I decided that I don't want to sit around and be a Marin County matron even though I could," she said. "I started to read about micro-loans, and there is so much need out there my question was always what to do and how."
Norris, a 66-year-old retired nurse, sent for a volunteer packet from Artress' nonprofit Foundation for African Medicine & Education, or FAME, and she is planning a trip to Tanzania.
A couple in San Francisco offered to use a family foundation to cover salaries for a doctor and nurse at the new Tanzanian clinic for one year.
Darien DeLorenzo, executive director of the Mobile Health Clinics Network in San Francisco, added Artress to her database of roving preventive health providers and invited him to be keynote speaker at the group's annual conference next year.
"His story has that humanitarian touch. It opens people's eyes and minds and beyond," DeLorenzo said.
One mother wrote to The Chronicle to say her child was so excited by FAME that she brought the newspaper to show-and-tell at her school.
Artress and Gustafson are hoping their U.S. fundraising tour will be able to cover the salaries and operating expenses for their new clinic for a year. After that, they want to build volunteer housing so they can accommodate all the requests to help from medical professionals.
Ultimately, they plan to build a 40-room hospital where patients can stay overnight and women can deliver babies.
"What appeals to me is how direct and simple and straightforward this is," said Debby Baldwin of Oakland, who attended the FAME fundraiser in Walnut Creek on Wednesday.
"There are so many places to give your money, but with FAME it doesn't disappear into some large organization. It's Dr. Frank, standing before us, asking for help. That's very gratifying."

POINT PLEASANT — Mason County Day Report will be attempting to transition into a Licensed Behavioral Health Center, due to changes requiring it to bill Medicaid.
The topic came up at Thursday’s regular meeting of the Mason County Commission with Stacey Adams of Day Report, Judge R. Craig Tatterson and Prosecuting Attorney R.F. Stein, Jr., speaking to commissioners about this change which needs to happen by 2018.
From the conversation, it was reported all Day Report Centers must have some way to bill Medicaid by 2018 or lose grant funding and becoming a Licensed Behavioral Health Center will allow it to do so. One of the big obstacles to making this happen, is finding a building which meets standards required by both the Americans with Disabilities Act and the West Virginia Office of Health Facility Licensure and Certification.
Currently, the Day Report Center is in the former sheriff’s department which is located in the basement of the annex building. This facility doesn’t meet the aforementioned standards and moving from it will have to take place in order to become a Licensed Behavioral Health Center.
After discussions with the commissioners about possibly utilizing other county space which would be appropriate, there didn’t seem to be any. Commissioners suggested looking for rental property in the Point Pleasant area which would meet those needs.
Adams reported there are currently around 85 people in the Day Report program. In the last few years, Day Report has received significant grant funding to maintain its operations.
In other business:
There was a brief discussion about finishing the second floor of the sheriff’s department. Sheriff Greg Powers reported most of the framing was done and he would like to get the space finished to utilize it for classes. He said this could bring in extra income and it would be a space for specialized training for not only his department and other law enforcement, but court house offices as well. No decision was made on this project.
County Administrator John Gerlach reported facilities and securities grants, which provided new cameras throughout the courthouse and lighting, were each wrapping up.
Gerlach also reported work to install a new heating/cooling unit at the Mason County Animal Shelter has begun, thanks to a $8,500 grant from the Claflin Foundation. These new units will replace gas heaters in a part of the building, keeping temperatures more tolerable for the dogs all year round.
Commissioner Rick Handley, spoke for the entire commission when he wished local representatives well at this weekend’s West Virginia Association of Fairs and Festivals Pageant. Representing the Mason County Fair will be Fair Queen Katherine Deem; representing the Battle Days Festival will be Battle Days Queen Jocelyn Wilson; representing the Point Pleasant Sternwheel Regatta will be Regatta Queen Bridgett Dudding.
Also at the meeting were Commissioners Tracy Doolittle and Sam Nibert as well as County Clerk Diana Cromley.

GCHQ: ban smartphones from offices for better security
Businesses have been advised to get rid of staff smartphones to reduce risk of cyber attacks
GCHQ has recommended that organisations remove employee smartphones and memory sticks to better protect against cyber attacks.
GCHQ calls staff the "weakest link in the security chain," reports The Telegraph, with action against such risks desperately needed. It has thus urged businesses to strip staff of smartphones, as warn employees to only use trusted Wi-Fi networks.
The advice comes from the CESG information security arm of GCHQ's '10 Step to Cyber Security' guidance report, which was created with the Cabinet Office, Business Department and Centre for the Protection of National Infrastructure.
Part of the government's effort to fight against cyber terrorism is to push for UK businesses to be more aware and take more precautions against possible threats, after the Prime Minister labelled such cyber attacks as "one of the biggest modern threats that we face."
Specific advice includes telling companies to monitor all user activity within their business, making sure that staff are aware "any abuse of the organisation's security policies will result in disciplinary action."
Taking smartphones away from employees is also mentioned with the advice for bosses to "assess business requirements for user access to input/output devices and removable media (this could include MP3 players and smart phones)".
"Some users will have to work in public open spaces where they are vulnerable to being observed when working on their mobile device, potentially compromising personal or sensitive commercial information or their user credentials," it continues.
The rise in popularity of employees using their own devices for work purposes has meant that the number of people conducting business over less secure connections, such as in coffee shops, has also increased.
A recent government study revealed the slightly startling fact that only 16 per cent of SMBs in the UK currently consider cyber security to be a priority for them. This contrasts with the 33 per cent of SMBs that were actually hit with a cyber attack in 2014, according to the Cyber Streetwise campaign.

Being a Project Coordinator has many perks. I am responsible for guiding a project from start to finish. While creating a personal relationship with our customers. Even though I work with churches and their leadership, I had yet to experience seeing the church once the pews were completed and installed. On November 3rd Sauder Worship Seating gave me the opportunity to see a finished job for myself. I was able to experience an installation photo shoot.
Early Friday morning I got to ride along with Amanda Opdycke, our Market Manager and Emily Lantz, our Production Artist to Granger, Indiana. Once there, I was in awe of St. Pius X Catholic Church. The outside alone was enough to make my jaw drop. I wasn’t ready for the amazement I was about to feel once in the sanctuary. From the first step inside to every inch of the sanctuary there is beautiful art and incredible architecture. As you walk down the aisle way you will notice Sauder all wood pews. As well as 6 Mosaics, each representing the covenants of God.
The Sauder Worship custom pew ends match the crucifix that is suspended from the ceiling. The crucifix is a focal point for the altar in this Romanesque style church. For me, the most incredible part of the building was the arcades and the Triumphal Arch. The Triumphal Arch is a mural of paintings and scriptures behind the altar. In the mural there are a variety of different saints from Mother Teresa to John XXIII. I was interested to learn that Catholic churches like St. Pius X, the murals all tell stories of Christ.
There is wall to wall iconography and no matter how many times I looked at an image I discovered something new each time. For example, the mural above the altar, at first glance you notice Jesus and the two archangels Michael and Gabriel but the closer you look you notice four more angels followed by sheep. Each individual is depicted to be going toward Jesus to meet at the top of the mural where there is a dove, which I later learned is the representation of the Holy Spirit.
While there we spoke with Pastor Schooler. He shared how happy he was with Sauder WS and that in the midst of construction he never had a problem with Sauder WS. Pastor Schooler was not the only one who shared their experiences with Sauder WS. During the photo shoot, a woman from the congregation asked to walk through, during that time she told us how everyone in the church love the pews and how glad she is that we could provide exactly what they wanted.
The opportunity to experience another part of Sauder WS made me extremely proud to be a part of this company. I cannot wait to see what other churches come to us for church furniture. I am confident we will continue to provide quality service and help make amazing churches like St. Pius X even more beautiful.

MILWAUKEE — Days after confirming that President Joe Biden had tested negative for COVID-19 after recently contracting the virus, White House physicians this past weekend confirmed the president had again tested positive for it, prompting no shortage of interest into what have been dubbed “rebound” cases.
“Research is still being done to figure out why this is happening,” Dr. Dan Shirley, Medical Director of Infection Prevention at UW Health, said. “Most of these ‘rebound’ phenomena are found by testing or some mild symptoms that recur.”
Biden had taken the anti-viral treatment Paxlovid to help to limit his symptoms, and Shirley said many researchers are now looking into the link between Paxlovid and similar "rebound" cases of COVID.
Research shows a small amount of those prescribed Paxlovid can experience a "rebound" case of COVID-19. According to the CDC, most "rebound" cases remain mild.
“Most of the time, this is noticed when someone takes the drug Paxlovid,” Dr. Shirley added. “It’s assumed this is a contagious situation, so if this happens to you I think the general recommendation all along would be if you start feeling sick again after you seem to have recovered from COVID, you should treat yourself like it might be COVID again and re-isolate.”

Sarah has been practicing yoga for over ten years because it has always made her feel good; she took a deeper dive into the whys of that in 200 YTT and completed her certification in 2022. In her classes, Sarah often likes to utilize twist asanas to aid in wringing out the body’s fascia and bring fresh blood to the system.
As an educator for the past seventeen years Sarah has worn a few different hats: her work with kids and their families as a kindergarten teacher, a librarian at the LFPL, and an English as a Second Language Instructor has helped her to remember to bring a spirit of playful curiosity into yoga class. She currently teaches mom and babes yoga, kids and preteens yoga, gentle restorative yoga, and chair yoga.
Sarah’s hope is that yoga will help people feel strong and grounded on Mother Earth; she desires to move toward peace and connection through yoga practice on the mat, so that it can more easily be found in other places in our lives too.

Chef Paul tells us there’s a lot to get through. It’s a big lesson alright: French onion soup, gnocchi with pesto, and a cold chocolate souffle with coffee Anglaise. He says we need to allow about an hour for each course. The soup is all about getting the right intensity of flavour; too much reduction and you’ll only be able to eat a couple of spoonfuls, too little, and it will be insipid and really boring. The gnocchi is about using floury dry potatoes, getting the shape right and not overcooking it, and the souffle, well, there are so many obstacles to getting this right that it gets a paragraph on it’s own.
It’s sort of like a mousse in texture but with more air, and when it’s chilled it sits beautifully above the ramekin, thanks to gelatine and a raised collar. So firstly we have to prepare the ramekin by wrapping a band of acetate around the sides so that it sits about 3 cm above the height of the dish. It must be even. ( I remember the Genoise sponge last week.)
The filling is a combination of the four bowls of mixture: a sabayon, melted chocolate, meringue and whipped cream, each prepared to precise instructions. Once mine is in the fridge I feel a sense of relief although it’s taken over an hour and I still have to make the coffee anglaise.
The gnocchi appears the easiest dish in this lesson but my mixture seems too moist, not at all like Chef’s dough. I gently turn the small squidgy pieces across the back of a fork to get the nice ridges and they only just hold together. I hope that putting them in the fridge a while will firm them up. The pesto however is a beautiful colour and has an intense taste.
I start on the soup knowing that it will be a chance to test my ability to get the flavour just right. The onion slicing holds me up. I’m still painfully slow at preparing vegies and the onions have to be thin, even juliennes. I’ve reduced the two stocks, veal and chicken, and think they taste pretty good so in they go with the sweated onions and herbs. I’m feeling confident that I will have something special to present to Chef.
Not so the gnocchi which I would rather not talk about. The pieces are too big. I see that now. The fridge hasn’t made much difference to the texture. They start to fall apart in the boiling water and there’s nothing I can do. I think about not presenting the dish at all which would of course mean scoring 0. But the pesto is really good so I box on even though I’m not at all proud of the plate. It’s no surprise that Chef doesn’t say much.
I scuttle back to my work station to plate up the soup and the dessert. The soup is so good it warrants a hand shake and a huge smile. And the souffle is perfect, as is the coffee Anglaise.
Two out of three ain’t bad, but it’s the gnocchi I’m thinking about as I bike home as fast as I can, the gentle evening breeze cooling me down and removing some of the fluster that remains after nearly five hours of intense concentration in a hot kitchen.

British Racing School launches Kickstarter scheme to increase job opportunities
A chance for young people to be recruited for up to six months for free is the aim of a programme launched by the British Racing School (BRS) thanks to a government-funded Kickstarter scheme.
The programme, which is backed by the Racing Foundation and the Resume Foundation, is designed to assist racing businesses and charities boost employment with help from government funding.
The BRS will offer support to employers, with Kickstart candidates given training throughout their employment to assist in their future careers in racing.
Zoe Elliott, BHA head of careers marketing and recruitment, said: "This cross industry approach to the DWP Kickstart Scheme will support racing employers while introducing new staff to the industry, and we are excited to see what Kickstart opportunities can be generated by racing to put in front of young people."
Those aged 16 to 24 who claim universal credit will be eligible for the programme, with up to 25 hours of employment per week funded at National Minimum Wage, including a £1,500 initial set-up fund.
Around 40,000 Kickstarters are already employed within British industries and sporting organisations.
Rob Hezel, CEO of the Racing Foundation added: "Our aim is to support individual Kickstarters to gain work in our brilliant industry while offering employers additional resources. This comes at a time when racing, along with the rest of the country, opens up and becomes busier than ever after the uncertainty of the last 18 months.
"Streamlining the process to get a Kickstarter into their workforce will hopefully incentivise racing employers across the country to take advantage of this great opportunity."
Kickstarter candidates will begin new roles in the racing industry this year, with employers able to register for the scheme until October.

. I like both Reyes, the hero and an immortal warrior who has to deal with bearing the demon of pain inside him and therefore has a tendency to cut and injury himself to avoid having to hurt others, and Danika, a human female who was first introduced in the initial book in the series. I think it was Reyes that really made this a five for me. I adored his darkness and everything about him, how twisted he’s become because of his need for pain and reluctance to harm others to satisfy his demon. I love a hero who is very dark and a little broken. This was an Intense read..

Easier listing norms to attract retail investors?
The government and capital markets regulator Securities Exchange Board of India (SEBI) are considering easing listing norms to encourage companies to raise money through equities traded on stock exchanges. Mahua Venkatesh reports.business Updated: May 22, 2011 21:50 IST
The government and capital markets regulator Securities Exchange Board of India (SEBI) are considering easing listing norms to encourage companies to raise money through equities traded on stock exchanges.
The move is aimed at deepening equity markets, as also into goading households to invest a part of their savings in the capital markets.
“The government and the market regulator are looking into the possible impediments that are discouraging companies from lisgint,” a senior corporate affairs ministry official told HT, requesting not to be identified.
SEBI is looking into the constraints that firms cite in getting listed on exchanges. The market regulator will likely prepare a report, based on which the listing norms could be eased, the official said.
Disclosure norms and levels of compliance could be made different for different companies depending on their sizes.
There are many highly valued Indian companies — such as Tata Sons — which are not listed on stock exchanges. Less than 10,000 Indian companies are listed on the exchanges.
A large number of other companies are not listed on stock exchange despite fulfilling all the necessary criteria.
“Many firms have cited high cost of compliance as a deterrent in getting their companies listed on stock exchanges to raise capital,” the official said.
These firms have preferred to borrow from banks or tap the private equity and venture capital markets.
The government is keen to channelise a larger chunk of household savings into the stock market. This is at present miniscule, though not quantified.
The average Indian saves about a quarter of what he or she earns — about R11,000 per year out of an estimated average income of R43,749.
About 12% is spent on weddings, social ceremonies and unusual medical expenses. Indians like to stock up on cash with only 3% of the household income going into small savings instruments, stocks or insurance policies.
In 2007, as many as 95 companies floated initial public offerings (IPOs) as a bull run swept the broader economy.

The lights are on
Fable is one of my favorite game series to ever be released. The world of Albion is one I constantly miss after completing each heroic quest. Fable heroes,takes the epic adventure series in a new direction by introducing a totally different gameplay experience. Fable heroes is a 4 player beat em up that struggles to entertain on its own. The experience alone is very bare and can be boring, but with friends the world of Albion is fun to explore in a new light. The graphics are very bold and vibrant and the music is enjoyable enough adding a nice feel to the world, and the "dice rolling" leveling up system is a nice touch. Fable Heroes is designed to be a children's beat em up game, and that is exactly what it is. It isn't a traditional fable experience, but a new simpler one. And an enjoyable one at that.
This game is terrible regardless of its target audience.
It LOOKS fun by the screenshots. However i'm sure that all the repetetive actions would get boring. Heck i can't even stand my sister playing 5 of the same notes in a row on the piano
LMFAO at this review
Wow a game that gives all of the promises from its initial announcement gets a 4.0 by Ben. However a game that has lied on its promises gets a perfect score even when the narrative seems to have come from a high school creative righting class. I am referring to biowares last two launches. Seriously there seems to be a bias. Well here is to the enivitable flame war to come from this.
Not exactly an in-depth review. I've never understood why the Fable franchise gets so much love, when the original was just good. Fable II was all right and Fable III was a chore to play. The combat was too simple and unbalanced, the game's plot was boring, the character's were barely worth noticing, the king section was complete ***, the side quests were extremely generic and boring, the Sanctuary was a stupid idea that added nothing but play time, and the stupid player interactions with NPCs were extremely repetitive. The game was dumbed down so much that even my 5 year old cousin thought it was boring. I liked the first game, but one game can't support a franchise. This franchise is in need of serious help, because as it is, it can't contend with the games being released.


A Nokia new phone model TA-1188 has just appeared in the Russian certification database.
The screenshot shows that TA-1188 was certified on March 18. This is obviously a new phone because this model has never appeared before, it does not intersect with the models of Nokia 1 Plus, Nokia 3.2 and Nokia 4.2.
Based on a series of previous exposures, this phone is likely to be Nokia 6.2. It is reported that Nokia 6.2 will use a perforated screen design. However, there are not many mobile phones that use screen punching technology at present, and the price is relatively high; whether Nokia will adopt such a design on this mobile phone with a price of more than one thousand yuan is still uncertain.
The Nokia 6.2 will also feature a 6.2-inch display with a Snapdragon 632 processor, 4GB/6GB of memory, and an Android 9 Pie system pre-installed. In terms of price, the aircraft will maintain the same level as the previous generation Nokia 6 second generation.
The current information about Nokia 6.2 is not rich, there is news that it will be equipped with 4GB/ss6GB RAM, using a 6.2-inch FHD + resolution screen (19:9 ratio). With the approach of MWC2019, we may soon see the true face of Nokia’s new mobile phone.

Do you have a passion for helping others? Do you love to work with children? Has your life been touched by someone with autism spectrum disorder, and do you want to reach out to others with ASD?
These are just some of the affirmative questions that a lot of aspiring certified autism specialists ask themselves. Though you might be wondering what they are and how you can become a certified autism specialist.
There is a wide variety of licensed professionals who work directly with children and adults with autism spectrum disorder. This is an increasingly high-demand field as autism diagnosis rates continue to increase, which means that more than ever before need high-quality services and support related to ASD.
Before embarking on the journey to becoming a certified autism specialist, it helps to first understand what autism is as well as what it isn’t. This helps to frame what you can expect when interacting with patients who have ASD.
Autism spectrum disorder is a lifelong developmental disability. There is no “Cure” for ASD. Though there are therapeutic techniques and learning approaches that can be provided to people with ASD at every level of their lives.
This also means that there is a need for certified autism specialists in a wide range of vocations including:
- School psychologists
- Special education teachers
- Speech-language pathologist
- Occupational therapist
- Educational administrator
- Clinical social worker
- Physical therapist
- Occupational therapist
- Behavior specialist
Though this is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the long list of careers that can be enhanced by becoming a certified autism specialist.
What Sets Certified Autism Specialists Apart?
Becoming an autism certified specialist means that you hold the industry-leading Autism Certificate (AC) or Certified Autism Specialist (CAS) credential and follow through with maintaining active credentials over time. Both of these credentials are offered through the IBCCES, and both require a similar number of training hours.
However, a CAS does require more formal education and experience. This also means that as a certified autism specialist, you will have a broader scope of skills and opportunities. A CAS might also be easier to add to certain careers that already include similar education and experience.
By becoming well-versed in the facets of autism spectrum disorder, you will be demonstrating a commitment to promoting a higher standard of care for your patients, clients, students, and others with ASD. This also extends to their families who support them throughout their lives.
If you are committed to developing a rewarding career from working with people with ASD, then you’re the perfect candidate for the International Board of Credentialing and Continuing Education Standards.
Becoming a CAS means investing your focus in a multi-disciplinary, comprehensive training program, which ultimately leads to an internationally recognized credential. This opens the door to enhancing a wide range of other careers that focus on helping individuals with ASD to live their best lives.
How Much Do Autism Specialists Earn?
At this time, there isn’t a lot of official data from government sources like the Bureau of Labor Statistics on what autism specialists earn. Unfortunately, institutions like these simply haven’t caught up yet to many new professions in the realm of autism spectrum support. Instead, they tend to lump them in with much broader fields like psychology.
Though, when you sample online job boards, the national average salary for an autism specialist is around $52,600. This translates to roughly $28 to $30 per hour.
How Do I Become a Certified Autism Specialist?
The certified autism specialist is designated for professionals who provide support and/or services to individuals with autism spectrum disorder. It tends to be an excellent way to enhance your resume and broaden your field.
Educational Requirements For A CAS
To start on the journey to becoming a CAS you first need a qualifying bachelor’s or higher degree. The ideal candidate will have at least ten years of experience or hold a master’s degree and at least two years of experience. You should note that the Experience requirements must relate to either directly working with or supporting individuals with autism. This includes career fields such as:
- Educational psychology
- Special education
- Human development
- Early childhood education
- Speech/language pathology
- Occupational therapy
- Physical therapy
- Social work
If you already have a bachelor’s degree and/or experience in one of these fields, you should consider seeking out a related master’s degree program.
CE Specialty Training
After meeting the education and experience requirements for the certified autism specialist designation, you will then need to complete at least 14 CE hours of training. This might include a series of online modules that are directly offered through the IBCCES. Otherwise, you will need to provide proof to the IBCCES that you’ve earned at least 14 hours of hours of autism-related CE training within the last two years.
This might include things like attending national conferences or taking university or professional courses. In these cases, one hour is equivalent to one CE Unit or 60 minutes of instruction. If you aren’t sure what activities qualify, you can always contact IBCCES to learn about ASHA and AOTA-approved courses.
Submit Your Application To The IBCCES
After satisfying the education and CE requirements, the next step in the process of becoming a CE involves paying a $495 certification fee, before submitting your application to the IBCCES. This includes submitting all your applicable credentials. You will then be given a set amount of time to prepare to take the Autism Competency Exam.
Taking The Autism Competency Exam
The online certification exam will have roughly 60 questions and you must complete the entire exam in 90 minutes or less. Your CAS is based on the IBCCES’ Areas of Autism Competency. This includes:
To be able to recognize the signs and symptoms of ASD, and how to diagnose it. As well as treatment strategies commonly used to treat those with autism.
To demonstrate an understanding of behavior modification, and the finer points of cognitive behavior therapy, as well as crisis interventions.
Program Development Competency
Includes the ability to develop an Individual Education Plan (IEP), specific interventions, and strategies used to treat those with ASD.
Early Childhood Identification Competency
Focuses on early identification strategies, with discernable markers, and inclusive education for preschool learners.
Parent Communication Competency
Skills to be able to connect with parents and guide their experience, empathy, awareness, and social skills.
Targets an understanding of the existence of comorbidities among those with ASD, which includes an overview of anxiety and ADHD.
You’ll access the exam once you submit your application, and they typically notify you of the results via email within 24 hours of completing the exam. You must earn an 80% or higher to pass the exam.

Noteworthy, the cells with more robust SA-β Gal staining had been greater and with a “hypertrophic” phenotype. A quantitative investigation of the greater share of senescent/hypertrophic cells was undertaken at 8, 16 and 24 hours and indicated a substantial increase by now at 8 hrs. GSK3β inactivation by either LiCl or SB216763 also led to glycogen accumulation: the range of PAS positive cells was considerably greater at 24 hours for equally 5mM LiCl and 10μM SB216763. Compared to SB216763, 5mM LiCl was a far more successful stimulus for glycogenesis, because treated cells experienced a considerably higher PAS staining presently at sixteen hours. Interestingly, at 24 hours LiCl cure, hypertrophic chondrocytes showed equally much better degree of SA-β Gal and of PAS staining. PrednisoloneA move cytometric evaluation combining mobile cycle information and gentle scattering qualities confirmed that already at eight hrs stimulation at just about every cell cycle section, LiCl cure led to the accumulation of chondrocytes much larger than control and richer of intracellular structures that can mirror the light-weight, as evidenced by their greater forward and side scatter, respectively. We also obtained a statistically important better degree of SA-β Gal staining in siGSK3β when compared to siCTL chondrocytes, while in siGSK3β cells, the addition of possibly LiCl or SB216763 did not enhance additional the stage of senescence. As predicted, LiCl or SB216763 have been powerful in growing the extent of phosphorylated GSK3β.

The process of growing crystal flowers using coal as a base originates in early American society. According to The American Coal Foundation, “the making of coal flowers is a historic craft that was practiced by coal mining families in the late 1800s and early 1900s. When mining families had little money to buy decorations or purchase toys, they used common household products and coal to make beautiful crystal flowers.” The coal provides a porous material from which the crystals grow. This project provides as interesting results today as it did 200 years ago.
Things You'll Need
- Shallow glass bowl
- Charcoal briquettes (or brick pieces or small porous stones)
- Mixing Bowl
- 6 parts Mrs. Stewart's Liquid Bluing
- 6 parts water
- 8 parts salt
- 1 part ammonia
- Food coloring (optional)
Video of the Day
Break up the charcoal briquettes into roughly 1-inch chunks. Use a hammer, but don't pulverize the charcoal.
Arrange the briquettes in the glass bowl in an even layer.
Combine the Bluing, water, salt and ammonia in the mixing bowl, and mix them well. Some salt will remain in the bottom of the bowl.
Pour the combined mix over the coal pieces, including the extra salt.
Add food coloring on top of the mixture as desired. Any spots that are not colored will grow white crystals.
Sprinkle 2 tbsp. extra salt over the entire charcoal crystal bed. Wait two days.
Combine 2 tbsp. each of the Bluing, ammonia and water, and pour the mixture over the pan of charcoal. Do this again on day three.
The crystals begin growing within a few hours of the creation of the project and will fully form in two to three days up to a couple weeks.


Accelerated Testing of Multi-Layer Steel Cylinder Head Gaskets 2000-01-1188
Accelerated testing techniques for cylinder head gaskets have become absolutely necessary because of developments at engine manufacturers including: shorter engine development times, high costs of vehicle and dynamometer testing, new material generations for engine components, and new engine generations and longer engine life
This paper will describe two accelerated test methods for Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) cylinder head gaskets and will discuss the most important parameters which influence MLS cylinder head gasket functional performance. We will describe how these parameters have been duplicated in the laboratory using the accelerated tests: the Bending Simulator and the Hydraulic Pulsator.
The test method results have been confirmed based on detailed metallurgical analysis of MLS gaskets; comparing field (dynamometer and vehicle) tested gaskets to those gaskets evaluated on accelerated tests. We will describe several possible failure mechanisms, defining the parameters which influence the failures. We will discuss: tribological (friction and wear) effects, the influence of temperature, and the sealing gap oscillation (the change in distance between cylinder block and head).


The Indus Motor Company (IMC), recognized for assembling Toyota vehicles in Pakistan, is preparing to unveil a domestically produced Corolla Hybrid Electric Vehicle (HEV) next month. This move is part of a substantial $100 million investment, aimed at cost reduction and emission mitigation.
Ali Jamali, the CEO of IMC, elucidated that this significant investment in HEV production is not solely about curbing import expenses; it could also result in an annual savings of $37 million by manufacturing 30,000 HEV units. This endeavor marks a notable advancement in Pakistan’s automotive sector, showcasing a commitment to a more sustainable and eco-friendly future.
This undertaking aligns with the United Nations’ Sustainable Development goals, emphasizing climate change mitigation. The introduction of HEVs is anticipated to lower emissions, generate employment opportunities, and enhance export potential.
Jamali underscored factors contributing to the escalating prices of domestically manufactured cars, including high taxes, inflation, the importation of used cars, and currency volatility.
He emphasized the necessity for a well-structured import policy to bolster the growth of the domestic auto industry, highlighting the adverse effects of a substantial influx of used cars into the country. Recent data disclosed a significant surge of over 6,500 used cars during the fiscal year 2022-23, with more than 7,500 units imported in the first three months of the current fiscal year.

Green aerospace tech to receive record £685m government funding
The UK’s aerospace technology research programme, the Aerospace Technology Institute (ATI), is to receive record levels of government funding, Industry Minister Lee Rowley confirmed today.
The ATI will receive £685m from the government for the financial years 2022-2023 through to 2024-2025, an increase of £235m on the previous three-year period. Industry will provide co-funding, taking the total to more than £1bn.
Funds will be used to capitalise on the UK’s world-leading R&D system and support the development of zero-carbon and ultra-low-emission aircraft technology, cementing the UK’s place at the forefront of advancing new green technology, whilst supporting tens of thousands of jobs.
Previous projects supported include ZeroAvia’s six-seat hydrogen-electric aircraft, which is the largest such aircraft in the world, as well as Rolls-Royce’s development of the largest, most efficient aircraft engine ever.
Industry Minister Lee Rowley said: “Since its formation in 2013, the Aerospace Technology Institute has been an enormous success, already funding world-leading innovations like hydrogen aircraft and 3D printed components. These projects are making a real-world impact and could one day help the global aviation industry transition to net zero.
“Today’s commitment is a sign of our increasing ambition and will give large and small businesses the confidence to invest in the technologies that will bring civil aviation into the next generation.”

Probably the most revered Buddha image in Thailand is the "Emerald Buddha" (it's carved out of jade) enshrined at [the other] Wat Phra Kaew, Temple of the Emerald Buddha, at the Grand Palace, back in Bangkok. The Buddha was actually discovered here in Chiang Rai in 1434, when a chedi (Thai pagoda) was struck by lightning, revealing an object inside. When uncovered, the people thought it was made of emerald, hence its name.
I feel a kinship with this Buddha, he moves around about as much as I do! Legend tells that it originated in India, then passed through Burma before coming to Thailand, but historians think it's more likely that it was carved during the Lana dynasty. Either way, after its discovery, it traveled around Thailand to a few places and even made a stop in Loas for a while, before eventually settling in Bangkok.
There is a copy of the Emerald Buddha in Chiang Rai now, and it's enshrined in one of my favourite Thai temples, also called Wat Phra Kaew, behind the Buddha hall, in an intimate little shrine of its own. The original one, in the Grand Palace, is high up on an elaborate pedestal, surrounded by a busy crowd of adornments and adorers, but this one is very accessible. Its shrine is still busy but also elegant and beautiful, prevalent Thai traits.
The Buddha hall at Wat Phra Kaew is worth a visit, too. The massive bronze Buddha is impressive, especially after all the little bronze Buddhas I saw in Kathmandu.
Just down the street, passed the big pink temple, is Chiang Rai market. We made one more round through the tables, then headed to the bus station for the long ride back to Bangkok.

I am not a breakfast person. Far from it. And whether not it’s contributed to my ever burgeoning waistline – although I do think it’s more to do with all the delicious food that I’m inclined to consume – I still maintain that I will only eat breakfast if there’s something delicious that’s worth the effort it takes to wake up in the morning.
Can you tell that I’m not a morning person?
But you know which culture does breakfast really well? The Japanese, that’s who. With rice, fish, pickles and soup, they really give meaning to “feasting like a king”. And if there’s any day where I get to have breakfast like royalty, it’s my birthday, dammit!
So Sam brings me to Sokyo, where they offer up dishes like an Eggs Benedict, complete with crispy bacon, brioche and miso hollandaise, and the more traditional Choushoku breakfast, with grilled fish (pictured above), pickles, rice, miso soup, chawanmushi and edamame beans.
The Choushoku Breakfast was, well, it was a bit lacking, especially with my high HIGH hopes. There was a ton of rice with not quite enough to go with it, throwing the whole tray off balance. What was there, though, was insanely delicious. The grilled tooth fish was silky smooth and buttery, and the chawanmushi was cooked just rice to showcase the sweet egg custard. It just didn’t have…enough of it to truly hit the spot. Not for a glutton guts like me, anyway.
The Eggs Benedict ticked most of the boxes for what you want from an eggs benedict – buttery hollandaise, unctuous brioche, crispy bacon etc – but I was kinda missing the fusion elements of it. Sure, the hollandaise has miso in it, but it wasn’t particularly salient when had together with the poached eggs and brioche.
That’ll teach me to have high expectations. DAMN YOU BREAKFAST.
Although, I hear the dinner is extremely good…

Madagascar Travel Guide
Although the plants and animals of Madagascar aren’t quite as wacky as those in the Disney movie, there are still a large number of bizarre things to be seen on the world’s forth-largest island. In Madagascar, it is possible to roam the rainforest, explore volcanoes and lounge on orchid-scented, fine sand beaches. Although the heat and haze of the capital ‘Tana’ is easily escaped for the cooler climes of mountain rainforests, Madagascar’s roads and tourist infrastructure are most likely to drive you crazy. Luckily, the many domestic flights and tour operators offer a more relaxing way to access the country’s large number of parks, canyons, grottos, beaches and of course, the lemurs. It’s also a jolly popular for National Geographic expeditions.
In the capital and at the more popular beach resort towns like Nossi Bé, you’ll find excellent hotels, casinos, movie theaters and perhaps even a few venues with live music and traditional dancing. Elsewhere, pickings are slim, especially in the middle of the jungle. So, if you want to dance with the lemurs, who’s to stop you?
When to Go
Equatorial and hot mostly, visit Madagascar in April or May when there’s less chance of rain, but still time to enjoy the lush greenery that springs up after the monsoons. September and October are also good times to visit, just before the rain, when the lemurs are being born. November to March is the rainy season, with storms and occasional cyclones in the east and north. April to October is the dry season, with cool temperatures.
Getting There & Away
Most flights into the international airport in Antananarivo are from Africa, as Madagascar does happen to be a long way from almost everywhere else. The taxis servicing the airport charge a higher fee than usual, but Air Madagascar operates a bus into the city. If you do come into the country on an Air Madagascar flight, you will also be eligible for significant discounts on their domestic flights. Since they fly to more than 50 cities on the island, and considering the state of disrepair of the roads (in the rainy season, some roads disappear all together), flying is by far the best way to get around.
Health & Safety
Malaria is a risk throughout the country, but particularly in the coastal areas. You should drink bottled, boiled or otherwise sterilized water and avoid milk products. There is a danger of parasites in fresh water, so don’t swim in lakes and streams. Swimming and diving on the east coast is also not recommended due to the high danger from sharks. Unless you are on a packaged tour or staying in a high-end resort, you should expect at least some level of minor intestinal discomfort, if not diarrhea. If you do need a doctor, there are both public and private health facilities although both are somewhat limited.
One day at Antanonarivo.
Two days at Ranomafana and L’Isalo national parks.
Three days at Fort Dauphin and the Berenty Wildlife Reserve.
Four days at Nossi Bé.
Two days at Morondava.
Three days at Masoala National Park.
Antananarivo: occassionally called Antananananariiiiivo! You’ll often hear this French-flavored town referred to simply as Tana. It’s built on three levels, dominated by the historic Queen’s Palace, and is the center of all trips to Madagascar. It claims to have the second-largest market in the world, and if the heat, crowds and pollution of the rest of the city don’t give you a headache, the bustle of Zoma Market will.
National parks: Ranomafana and L’Isalo national parks are easily accessible, where it is possible to spot lemurs, hike, explore canyons, swim and enjoy the great bio-diversity of Madagascar. Permits are required for entry to all national parks.
Nossi Bé: on the northwest coast is the most popular beach resort, serving up a beach vacation much like any other and some above par diving. Expect a few complaining Parisians pretending to enjoy ‘Afrique’.
Ifaty: is popular for its white sand beaches, shallow coral reefs and whale-watching. Divers should mark this one on their itinerary.
Fort Dauphin: in the southeast is known for its lobsters, remarkable scenery and as a gateway to the nearby Berenty Wildlife Reserve.
Antseranana: at the northernmost tip of the island is a seaport surrounded by lakes, waterfalls and a rainforest inhabited by lemurs, crocodiles and orchids.
Ambohimanga: the citadel here, surrounded by forests, is guarded by a stone gate which once required 40 men to roll it into position. It hasn’t moved since!
Diving: the main center for diving is at Nossi Bé and the surrounding islands, you should be able to find diving facilities all along the north and west coasts.
Trekking: tours can be arranged for groups with any interest, from lemur-watching to spotting rare orchids. On such an ecologically diverse island this is the real deal. Pony-treks can also be arranged for those who want an easy ride through the rainforest.
Whale-watching: the best time to spot these massive creatures is from July through September in the Bay of Antongil.
Spas: two volcanoes feed the thermal spas at Antsirabe, where you can bathe and get a massage.

Almost 30 years after the opening of MetroWest, its residents may get control of their community.
The MetroWest Master Association, which oversees about 40 homeowner associations within the southwest Orlando development, is to vote Thursday on paying about $2 million to "buy out" developer Carl Shakarian.
The South Florida businessman did not develop the 1,800-acre residential/commercial project, which opened in 1987. But five years ago, he bought 3 acres of MetroWest for an undisclosed sum from former developer Kevin Azzouz, who faced financial troubles at the time. In that transaction, he also assumed control of the association and its multimillion-dollar budget.
Shakarian could not be reached for comment.
The president of the master association said the "buyout," as officials call it, is the most recent attempt by residents to have control. Home to more than 17,000 Orlando residents, MetroWest is a mix of apartments, condominiums, houses and shops wrapped around an 18-hole golf course off Hiawassee Road. City officials say it is Orlando's most populous development, with the largest number of buildings.
"We've been trying to get the developer out of the community for a long time," said Jim Drayton, president of the master association. Five years ago the association offered Shakarian $1 million and then $2 million, but he declined, Drayton said. The new proposal calls for the homeowners group to borrow the money to pay Shakarian, and the association would repay the loan over five years, Drayton said.
In exchange for paying Shakarian about $2 million, the master association would get 3 acres. The land is valued at a fraction of that amount, but the "buyout" isn't about the land, Drayton said. It's about control.
Shakarian is allowed by courts to appoint three of the master association's five board members. The board has approved payments of about $120,000 annually to Shakarian for marketing MetroWest, association officials said. The Shakarian-controlled board also has approved about $300,000 annually to retain the services of Orlando attorney James Byrd, board members said.
One resident described the buyout as a necessary evil.
"It is frustrating and has a negative effect on the social fiber of the community because we have lost that connection to a master association that was formed in the 1980s to safeguard and enhance a thriving community," said Mary Jo Pezzi, a board member of one association. "Instead, we are faced with paying off an out-of-town developer in order to start over."
In 2010, an Orange County circuit judge ruled against residents fighting to take control of MetroWest. The judge said Shakarian had the right under Florida law to retain majority control of the development's governing board. When the development got underway in 1986, Florida law granted more leeway to developers retaining control of their projects. The Legislature further restricted developer rights in 1992, but only for new projects.
One wrinkle in the buyout proposal is that MetroWest could continue to be controlled by the Shakarian-appointed board members for a while. The association is considering keeping those members in place for two years to help with a transition, Pezzi said.
Byrd said MetroWest has such a diversity of opinion that he expected some opposition to the buyout plans.

Team Valvoline EMGO Suzuki concluded their weekend at Infineon Raceway with an up-and-down raceday. It was expected to be a trying round, with no testing and a lack of data available to help them get to speed at the 2.2-mile circuit as quickly as many rival squads that did.
The team got off to a strong start in the morning’s Superstock final, with Steve Rapp and Vincent Haskovec each claiming top ten finishes. While the team’s strategy of taking advantage of the GSX-R750’s superior tire conservation characteristics was spoiled by a red flag, the team made the best of the situation, altering their Michelin-shod racebikes’ set-ups during the red flag period with positive effect.
Rapp took full advantage of the improvements, finishing seventh, right on the tail of the official Suzuki factory entry.
“We went out there and did the best we could,” the Californian said afterwards. “We weren’t hoping to see a red flag, but when we did we used the opportunity to get a few things sorted out a bit better. It ended up being a pretty positive race, and it was good to be running with the factory bike.”
Vincent Haskovec came home a solid ninth, less than three seconds behind Rapp.
In the 17-lap Supersport race, held in 93-degree heat, Rapp and Canadian Chris Peris finished 12 and 18th.
Peris said, “We were working really hard to get our set-up 100% this weekend, but we were unable to really get it perfect. We made some changes before the race, and kind of went the wrong way, but overall, I feel we’re coming along. I really tried hard and the team did as well. It just didn’t go our way this time.”
In the weekend’s final race, the team’s brightest hope for a spot on the podium evaporated in disappointing fashion. Haskovec, who qualified third for the Formula Xtreme final, was running in the top three during the race as well, but was forced to retire when his machine suffered a rare mechanical problem.

Nation mourns victims of March genocide committed by Armenian nationalists
By Vafa Ismayilova
March 31 marks the Day of Genocide of Azerbaijanis when Armenian nationalists jointly with Bolsheviks killed around 50,000 people on ethnic and religious grounds, destroyed settlements and razed to the ground cultural monuments, mosques and cemeteries in 1918.
Well-prepared, ruthless act
The Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry reported in an earlier statement on its website that the "March massacres of 1918 were well prepared and ruthlessly implemented act by radical nationalist Armenians against Azerbaijanis on the grounds of racial discrimination and ethnic cleansing".
"In March-April 1918, massacres were committed in the city of Baku and other towns and districts of the Baku Province by the Armenian dashnak-bolshevik armed groups operating under the mandate of the Baku Council (Baku Soviet), and tens of thousands of civilians were killed only for their ethnic and religious affiliation," the ministry said.
Stepan Shaumian, an ethnic Armenian appointed as the Commissar Extraordinary for the Caucasus by Vladimir Lenin, head of the Russian Bolsheviks, admitted that 6,000 armed soldiers of the Baku Soviet and 4,000 from the Dashnaksutyun, or the Armenian Revolutionary Federation party, participated in the massacres against the Azerbaijani people, the ministry added.
The genocide perpetrated against the Azerbaijanis covered many other regions, including Shamakhi, Guba, Lankaran, Salyan, Iravan, Zangazur, Garabagh and Nakhchivan along with Baku.
Political and legal assessment
The March 1918 events became the focus of attention following the proclamation of the Azerbaijan Democratic Republic (ADR) and in order to investigate violence against the Azerbaijanis the Council of Ministers adopted a decision on the establishment of the Extraordinary Investigation Commission on 15 July 1918.
At the first stage, the commission was involved in the investigation of the March genocide, the Armenian brutalities and grave crimes committed by the Armenians in the provinces of Shamakhi and Iravan. Special authority was established at the Foreign Ministry to increase the world community's awareness of the truth about these tragedies. In 1919 and 1920, the Azerbaijan Democratic Republic commemorated 31 March as a national day of mourning. In fact, it was the first attempt to give a political assessment of the genocide and the occupation of our lands, which lasted for more than one century.
However, after the collapse of the Azerbaijan Democratic Republic, the process was halted and the investigation of the incidents and the attempts to politically and legally assess these events failed. Only 80 years later, on March 26, 1998, those horrific events received a proper political assessment when late Azerbaijani President Heydar Aliyev signed the decree “On the genocide of Azerbaijanis”.
The commemoration of the Day of Genocide of Azerbaijanis raises the awareness of the world community to the facts of the massacre and ethnic cleansing of Azerbaijanis in the past and present.
Since the late 1980s, unleashing the war against Azerbaijan and occupying its territories, Armenia continued the policy reminiscent of the March Massacre by carrying out ethnic cleansing of hundreds of thousands of Azerbaijanis in Armenia and in the seized lands of Azerbaijan and committing numerous war crimes, crimes against humanity, and acts of genocide, including Khojaly Genocide of February 1992, the Foreign Ministry stated earlier.
"While remembering the innocent victims of March tragedy, we strongly condemn the deliberate and continued policy of genocide, crimes against humanity, racial discrimination and ethnic cleansing by Armenia against the people of Azerbaijan and reiterate the importance of ceasing impunity of Armenia to prevent the occurrence of such inhumane crimes," the ministry said.
Mass grave in Guba
Numerous new facts and documents have been collected over the past years thanks to researches in this direction. The mass grave unearthed in Guba region reveals one of the bloody pages of this tragedy. In April-May 1918, in Guba region alone 167 villages were razed to the ground. The mass graveyard in Guba region was unearthed on April 1, 2007, during the landscaping works on the site.
In 2009, under the Decree of the Cabinet of Ministers, “Plan of action to perpetuate the memory of mass murder victims in Guba region” was approved and a decision was made to construct a memorial complex and carry out renovation works in the site where mass graves were discovered.
In 2007, employees of the Institute of Archeology and Ethnography of Azerbaijan National Academy of Sciences launched large-scale research in the mass grave, which was completed in September 2008. The research revealed that the mass grave was evidence of the genocide committed by the Armenians against the local citizens in 1918.
More than 400 human corpses of different age were found, including 50 children, 100 women, and the elderly. The research also found that along with the Azerbaijanis there were members of the Lezgi, Jewish, Tat, and other ethnic groups living in Guba region among those brutally killed and buried in the graveyard.
Addressing the official opening ceremony of the Guba Genocide Memorial Complex on September 18, 2013, Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev said: “Of course, due to the fact that history was falsified in Soviet times, this was concealed from us. For many years, the thugs who shed the blood of the Azerbaijani people – their cursed names are indicated there, e.g. Shaumyan and others like him were portrayed to us as heroes. I think this is a great tragedy. For many years, those who unleashed atrocities against our people were described in Soviet history as heroes and statues of them were erected in many places. Only in the years of independence, we restored justice... We know and should know all aspects of our history. The younger generation also needs to know what disasters our nation faced in the past.”
On January 18, 2018, Aliyev signed an order on the commemoration of the 100th anniversary of the 1918 genocide of the Azerbaijanis. The order said: “The historical evidence revealed that the geography of bloody acts committed by the Armenian nationalists in March-April and in the late 1918s is much more widespread and the number of victims of tragedy is much bigger than expected.”
The Azerbaijani people and government always pay tribute to the genocide victims and urge the world community to take the lesson from these historical events and to expose the true nature of Armenian fascism.

Stabilization of soy milk using konjac glucomannan
Keywords:Konjac glucomannan; Soy milk; Phase behavior; Stability; Beverage
A novel compound functional plant beverage could be formed by blending soy milk with konjac glucomannan (KGM), a beneficial polysaccharide. Both the phase behavior and the stability of KGM-soy milk blend system were studied. The phase diagram showed that the KGM-soy milk blend system could form three regions: i.e., Unstable zone, metastable zone and stable zone. The stability of the blend system was investigated by measuring turbidity, viscosity, Zeta potential, particle size and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), respectively. The microstructure of the KGM-soy milk mixed system was characterized by confocal laser scanning microscope (CLSM), which indicated that KGM and soy milk could be evenly dispersed under certain conditions. The mixtures with relatively low KGM component were unstable and easy to sedimentation. However, the blend systems with high KGM component were relatively stable and were not easy to occur phase separation. The results implied that KGM could act not only as a functional ingredient, but also as a stabilizer in the compound plant beverage.
