For enhanced safety, the front seat shoulder belts of the Nissan Maxima are height-adjustable to accommodate a wide variety of driver and passenger heights. A better fit can prevent injuries and the increased comfort also encourages passengers to buckle up. The Chevrolet Malibu doesn't offer height-adjustable seat belts.
The Maxima Platinum has a standard Around View® Monitor to allow the driver to see objects all around the vehicle on a screen. The Malibu only offers a rear monitor and front and rear parking sensors that beep or flash a light. That doesn't help with obstacles to the sides.
The Maxima Platinum's driver alert monitor detects an inattentive driver then sounds a warning and suggests a break. According to the NHTSA, drivers who fall asleep cause about 100,000 crashes and 1500 deaths a year. The Malibu doesn't offer a driver alert monitor.
Both the Maxima and the Malibu have standard driver and passenger frontal airbags, front side-impact airbags, side-impact head airbags, front seatbelt pretensioners, front-wheel drive, plastic fuel tanks, four-wheel antilock brakes, traction control, electronic stability systems to prevent skidding, daytime running lights, available crash mitigating brakes, blind spot warning systems and rear cross-path warning.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration does 35 MPH front crash tests on new vehicles. In this test, results indicate that the Nissan Maxima is safer than the Chevrolet Malibu:
5 Stars
5 Stars
Neck Injury Risk
Neck Stress
212 lbs.
937 lbs.
New test not comparable to pre-2011 test results. More stars = Better. Lower test results = Better.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration does side impact tests on new vehicles. In this test, which crashes the vehicle into a flat barrier at 38.5 MPH, results indicate that the Nissan Maxima is safer than the Chevrolet Malibu:
Rear Seat
5 Stars
4 Stars
New test not comparable to pre-2011 test results. More stars = Better. Lower test results = Better.
For its top level performance in all IIHS frontal, side, rear impact and roof-crush tests, with its optional front crash prevention system, and its available headlight's "Acceptable" rating, the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety grants the Maxima its highest rating: "Top Pick Plus" for 2017, a rating granted to only 46 vehicles tested by the IIHS. The Malibu is only a standard "Top Pick" for 2017.
The Maxima's corrosion warranty is unlimited miles longer than the Malibu's (unlimited vs. 100,000 miles).
The Maxima's 3.5 DOHC V6 produces 140 more horsepower (300 vs. 160) and 77 lbs.-ft. more torque (261 vs. 184) than the Malibu's standard 1.5 turbo 4 cyl. The Maxima's 3.5 DOHC V6 produces 50 more horsepower (300 vs. 250) and 1 lbs.-ft. more torque (261 vs. 260) than the Malibu Premier's standard 2.0 turbo 4 cyl.
As tested in Motor Trend the Nissan Maxima is faster than the Chevrolet Malibu:
Malibu 1.5
Malibu Premier
Zero to 60 MPH
5.7 sec
8.5 sec
6.2 sec
Quarter Mile
14.2 sec
16.5 sec
14.7 sec
Speed in 1/4 Mile
The Maxima has 5 gallons more fuel capacity than the Malibu 1.5 Turbo's standard fuel tank (18 vs. 13 gallons), for longer range between fill-ups. The Maxima has 2.2 gallons more fuel capacity than the Malibu 2.0 Turbo's optional fuel tank (18 vs. 15.8 gallons).
For better stopping power the Maxima's brake rotors are larger than those on the Malibu:
Front Rotors
12.6 inches
11.8 inches
Rear Rotors
12.13 inches
11.3 inches
The Maxima's standard front and rear disc brakes are vented to help dissipate heat for shorter stops with less fading. The rear discs on the Malibu are solid, not vented.
The Maxima stops shorter than the Malibu:
70 to 0 MPH
168 feet
171 feet
Car and Driver
60 to 0 MPH
125 feet
127 feet
Motor Trend
For better traction, the Maxima has larger tires than the Malibu (245/45R18 vs. 205/60R16).
The Maxima's standard tires provide better handling because they have a lower 45 series profile (height to width ratio) that provides a stiffer sidewall than the Malibu L/LS' standard 60 series tires.
For better ride, handling and brake cooling the Maxima has standard 18-inch wheels. Smaller 16-inch wheels are standard on the Malibu L/LS.
The Maxima has a standard easy tire fill system. When inflating the tires, the vehicle's integrated tire pressure sensors keep track of the pressure as the tires fill and tell the driver when the tires are inflated to the proper pressure. The Malibu doesn't offer vehicle monitored tire inflation.
The Maxima offers an optional full size spare tire so your trip isn't interrupted by a flat. A full size spare isn't available on the Malibu, it requires you to depend on a temporary spare, which has mileage and speed limitations, or roadside assistance and a tow-truck.
The Maxima has vehicle speed sensitive variable-assist power steering, for low-effort parking, better control at highway speeds and during hard cornering, and a better feel of the road. The Malibu doesn't offer variable-assist power steering.
The Maxima 3.5 SR handles at .86 G's, while the Malibu LT pulls only .84 G's of cornering force in a Motor Trend skidpad test.
The Maxima 3.5 SR executes Motor Trend's "Figure Eight" maneuver quicker than the Malibu LT (26.6 seconds @ .69 average G's vs. 27.4 seconds @ .63 average G's).
The Maxima SL/SR/Platinum uses computer-generated active noise cancellation to help remove annoying noise and vibration from the passenger compartment, especially at low frequencies. The Malibu doesn't offer active noise cancellation.
The Maxima has .3 inches more front headroom, 3 inches more front legroom, .1 inches more front hip room and .1 inches more rear hip room than the Malibu.
A low lift-over trunk design makes loading and unloading the Maxima easier. The Maxima's trunk lift-over height is 28.8 inches, while the Malibu's liftover is 30.5 inches.
To allow full utilization of available cargo room, the Maxima's trunk lid uses concealed beam hinges that don't intrude into the trunk. The Malibu's useful trunk space is reduced by its intrusive beam hinge.
With its sedan body style, valet key, locking rear seatbacks and remote trunk release lockout, the Maxima offers cargo security. The Malibu's non-lockable remote release defeats cargo security.
A standard locking glovebox (which can't be accessed with the valet key) keeps your small valuables safer in the Maxima. The Malibu doesn't offer locking storage for small valuables.
The Maxima's front power windows open or close with one touch of the switches, making it more convenient at drive-up windows and toll booths, or when talking with someone outside of the car. The Malibu's power window switches have to be held the entire time to close them fully. The Malibu LT/Premier's front passenger window doesn't close automatically.
If the front windows are left down on the Maxima the driver can raise them using the key in the outside lock cylinder. On a hot day the driver can lower the windows from outside the vehicle using the key in the outside lock cylinder or the keyless remote. The driver of the Malibu can only operate the windows from inside the vehicle, with the ignition on.
The Maxima has a standard locking fuel door with a remote release located convenient to the driver. A locking fuel door helps prevent vandalism, such as sugar in the tank and fuel theft. The Malibu doesn't offer a locking fuel door.
The Maxima's standard speed-sensitive wipers speed up when the vehicle does, so that the driver doesn't have to continually adjust the speed of the wipers. The Malibu's manually variable intermittent wipers have to be constantly adjusted. The Maxima Platinum's standard wipers adjust their speed and turn on and off automatically according to the amount of rainfall on the windshield.
The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) conducts detailed tests on headlights for their range both straight ahead and in curves and to be certain they don't exceed acceptable amounts of glare to oncoming drivers. The Maxima's available headlights were rated "Acceptable" by the IIHS, while the Malibu's headlights are rated "Poor."
A manual rear sunshade is standard in the Maxima Platinum to help block heat and glare for the rear passengers. The Malibu doesn't offer a rear sunshade.
The Maxima Platinum has standard automatic dimming rear and side view mirrors which automatically darken quickly when headlights shine on them, keeping following vehicles from blinding or distracting the driver. The Malibu offers an automatic rear view mirror, but its side mirrors don't dim.
The Maxima has a standard dual zone air conditioning allows the driver and front passenger to choose two completely different temperatures so people with different temperature preferences won't have to compromise. This makes both the driver and front passenger as comfortable as possible. Dual zone air conditioning is only available on the Malibu Premier.
Both the Maxima and the Malibu offer rear vents. For greater rear passenger comfort, the Maxima has standard rear air conditioning vents to keep rear occupants cool in summer or warm in winter. The Malibu L/LS doesn't offer rear air conditioning vents, only heat vents.
Bluetooth wireless connectivity is standard on the Maxima, connecting the driver and passenger's cell phones to the vehicle systems. This allows them to use the vehicle's stereo and hand controls to place calls safely and easily. Chevrolet only offers wireless connectivity on the Malibu LS/LT/Premier.
According to The Car Book by Jack Gillis, the Maxima is less expensive to operate than the Malibu because typical repairs cost much less on the Maxima than the Malibu, including $223 less for a water pump, $131 less for front brake pads, $51 less for fuel injection, $57 less for a fuel pump and $150 less for front struts.
J.D. Power and Associates rated the Maxima first among large cars in owner reported satisfaction. This includes how well the vehicle performs and satisfies its owner's expectations. The Malibu isn't in the top three in its category.

World Ranger Day
World Ranger Day is celebrated worldwide on July 31st to commemorate Rangers killed or injured in the line of duty and to celebrate the work Rangers do to protect the planet's natural treasures and cultural heritage.
Let's pause for a moment to reflect on the courage and sacrifice that Rangers make: by honouring Fallen Rangers and standing with Rangers who bravely undertake their role on the frontline. World Ranger Day is an International Ranger Federation initiative promoted together with its official charity arm, The Thin Green Foundation.

World Ranger Congress
The IRF World Ranger Congress brings together Rangers from all over the world, giving them the opportunity to learn new skills, share knowledge and create partnerships. It occurs every three years in a different location, allowing host countries from each IRF region to raise the profile of Rangers locally and internationally. It allows them to showcase their successes, to identify how they're addressing their regional challenges and share their knowledge and skills with colleagues from around the world.
Attending a congress like this is a once in a life time opportunity for many Rangers; meeting colleagues from around the world gives Rangers hope and boosts their morale. Often their jobs are located in remote and isolated areas where they don't have a lot of contact with the world family of Rangers. They don't often have the opportunity to exchange stories and learn from others that may be located half way across the world.
The World Ranger Congress is also a forum for the creation of recommendations on issues that affect Rangers and the work that they do on the front-line. Having these challenges come directly from Rangers makes the message more powerful; the recommendations are presented at conservation forums globally.
The 9th World Ranger Congress was held in Nepal in 2019; the next WRC will be in the Azores in 2022.

The Holy Bible
« Chapter 38 «--- Exodus ---» Chapter 40»
Exodus 39 : 1 - 43
Chapter 39
|Of the blue, purple, and scarlet thread they made garments of ministry, for ministering in the holy place, and made the holy garments for Aaron, as the LORD had commanded Moses.
|He made the ephod of gold, blue, purple, and scarlet thread, and of fine woven linen.
|And they beat the gold into thin sheets and cut it into threads, to work it in with the blue, purple, and scarlet thread, and the fine linen, into artistic designs.
|They made shoulder straps for it to couple it together; it was coupled together at its two edges.
|And the intricately woven band of his ephod that was on it was of the same workmanship, woven of gold, blue, purple, and scarlet thread, and of fine woven linen, as the LORD had commanded Moses.
|And they set onyx stones, enclosed in settings of gold; they were engraved, as signets are engraved, with the names of the sons of Israel.
|He put them on the shoulders of the ephod as memorial stones for the sons of Israel, as the LORD had commanded Moses.
|And he made the breastplate, artistically woven like the workmanship of the ephod, of gold, blue, purple, and scarlet thread, and of fine woven linen.
|They made the breastplate square by doubling it; a span was its length and a span its width when doubled.
|And they set in it four rows of stones: a row with a sardius, a topaz, and an emerald was the first row;
|the second row, a turquoise, a sapphire, and a diamond;
|the third row, a jacinth, an agate, and an amethyst;
|the fourth row, a beryl, an onyx, and a jasper. They were enclosed in settings of gold in their mountings.
|There were twelve stones according to the names of the sons of Israel: according to their names, engraved like a signet, each one with its own name according to the twelve tribes.
|And they made chains for the breastplate at the ends, like braided cords of pure gold.
|They also made two settings of gold and two gold rings, and put the two rings on the two ends of the breastplate.
|And they put the two braided chains of gold in the two rings on the ends of the breastplate.
|The two ends of the two braided chains they fastened in the two settings, and put them on the shoulder straps of the ephod in the front.
|And they made two rings of gold and put them on the two ends of the breastplate, on the edge of it, which was on the inward side of the ephod.
|They made two other gold rings and put them on the two shoulder straps, underneath the ephod toward its front, right at the seam above the intricately woven band of the ephod.
|And they bound the breastplate by means of its rings to the rings of the ephod with a blue cord, so that it would be above the intricately woven band of the ephod, and that the breastplate would not come loose from the ephod, as the LORD had commanded Moses.
|He made the robe of the ephod of woven work, all of blue.
|And there was an opening in the middle of the robe, like the opening in a coat of mail, with a woven binding all around the opening, so that it would not tear.
|They made on the hem of the robe pomegranates of blue, purple, and scarlet, and of fine woven linen.
|And they made bells of pure gold, and put the bells between the pomegranates on the hem of the robe all around between the pomegranates:
|a bell and a pomegranate, a bell and a pomegranate, all around the hem of the robe to minister in, as the LORD had commanded Moses.
|They made tunics, artistically woven of fine linen, for Aaron and his sons,
|a turban of fine linen, exquisite hats of fine linen, short trousers of fine woven linen,
|and a sash of fine woven linen with blue, purple, and scarlet thread, made by a weaver, as the LORD had commanded Moses.
|Then they made the plate of the holy crown of pure gold, and wrote on it an inscription like the engraving of a signet: HOLINESS TO THE LORD.
|And they tied to it a blue cord, to fasten it above on the turban, as the LORD had commanded Moses.
|Thus all the work of the tabernacle of the tent of meeting was finished. And the children of Israel did according to all that the LORD had commanded Moses; so they did.
|And they brought the tabernacle to Moses, the tent and all its furnishings: its clasps, its boards, its bars, its pillars, and its sockets;
|the covering of ram skins dyed red, the covering of badger skins, and the veil of the covering;
|the ark of the Testimony with its poles, and the mercy seat;
|the table, all its utensils, and the showbread;
|the pure gold lampstand with its lamps (the lamps set in order), all its utensils, and the oil for light;
|the gold altar, the anointing oil, and the sweet incense; the screen for the tabernacle door;
|the bronze altar, its grate of bronze, its poles, and all its utensils; the laver with its base;
|the hangings of the court, its pillars and its sockets, the screen for the court gate, its cords, and its pegs; all the utensils for the service of the tabernacle, for the tent of meeting;
|and the garments of ministry, to minister in the holy place: the holy garments for Aaron the priest, and his sons' garments, to minister as priests.
|According to all that the LORD had commanded Moses, so the children of Israel did all the work.
|Then Moses looked over all the work, and indeed they had done it; as the LORD had commanded, just so they had done it. And Moses blessed them.

Russia Won't Tell Assad To Go, Sees Flexibility Among His Foes
Russia will "absolutely not" tell Syrian President Bashar al-Assad to step down to end the civil war and make way for a political transition, Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said in comments published on Friday.
The remarks to the BBC were a reiteration of Moscow's position that Assad's exit must not be a precondition for a negotiated solution to the two-year-old conflict that has killed more than 70,000 people.
Asked whether there was a chance that Russia would tell Assad he should step down for the sake of a peace agreement, Lavrov replied: "Absolutely not. You know that we're not in the regime-change game."
"We are against interference in domestic conflicts. And this is our position, which should be of no surprise to anyone," he said, according to an English-language version of his comments posted on the Russian Foreign Ministry website.
Lavrov said Assad had repeatedly said he was not going to leave.
"All those who get in touch with him know that he is not bluffing, and that he is prepared to discuss any issue - among the Syrians."
Russia has blocked three U.N. Security Council resolutions meant to push Assad out or press him to end violence, a position that has set it against Western and Arab nations which say he must leave power.
Lavrov said he saw signs of flexibility.
"I'm glad that the latest discussions and the latest gestures from the opposition, and statements from some of those who support the opposition, hint that they would be prepared to start negotiations with some negotiating team without asking President Assad to step down," he was quoted as saying.
Lavrov spoke before a visit to London next week for the first meeting under the auspices of a new "strategic dialogue" between Russia and Britain. Syria is among the issues on the agenda for the talks on Wednesday between the two countries' foreign and defense ministers.
The Kremlin and the U.S. government have spoken recently of the need to step up efforts to end the war and start a political transition but several meetings - including one in London on Thursday between senior Russian and U.S. diplomats - have brought few signs of progress.

Mysterious cockpit problems continue, but Air Force trainers still fly
The Air Force says pilots flying its T-6A Texan II, a trainer that was grounded this year because of oxygen system problems, have reported 12 additional unexplained physiological episodes since March 1.
Experts are investigating but so far have found no root cause for the incidents. The plane, flown by the San Antonio-based Air Education and Training Command, was idled in February after 21 episodes were reported earlier in the year.
The Air Force said it was not considering another grounding of the plane "at this time," expressing confidence that ongoing efforts — including an accelerated inspection and cleaning schedule for the Onboard Oxygen Generation System, or OBOGS — will ensure that the T-6 is safe to fly.
A series of in-air oxygen system failures in a variety of military aircraft over the past several years have raised concerns in the Pentagon about pilot safety, but until a sudden spike in January, the T-6, the Air Force's principal trainer for novice pilots, had seen few such episodes.
Inspections found that the OBOGS' shut-off valve, inlet filter and drain valves failed at rates much higher than expected. Air Force Materiel Command spokesman Derek Kaufman cautioned that experts could not directly link these failures to the unexplained physiological episodes and don't believe that they caused a failure in the OBOGS or a separate backup emergency oxygen system.
"While our mission is to produce pilots, the safety of our pilots has been and always will be our number one priority," AETC spokesman Dan Hawkins said in a statement released in response to questions about the newest incidents. "Proactive maintenance mitigation practices and inspections based on flight hours have been created and are being accomplished on a much more aggressive timeline."
A physiological event takes place when an aircrew experiences symptoms that can hinder a pilot's ability to fly safely. It can result from hypocapnia, hypercapnia or other factors. Hypocapnia is a state of reduced carbon dioxide in the blood. Hypercapnia is excessive carbon dioxide in the blood, usually caused by inadequate respiration.
Maj. Gen. Patrick Doherty, commander of the 19th Air Force at Joint Base San Antonio-Randolph, grounded the T-6 fleet after a cluster of such events occurred in planes flying out of Columbus AFB, Mississippi; Vance AFB, Oklahoma; and Sheppard AFB in Wichita Falls in late January.
Commentary: Military City, USA requires nonstop access to Reagan National
The Air Force statement said that more than 400 planes in the 444-strong T-6 fleet have seen complete evaluations of the aircrew breathing system. In all, 85 percent of the shut-off valves, which allow air from the engine to bleed into the OBOGS, failed in the open position, allowing unrestricted air flow. Inlet filters, which capture water and contaminants from incoming "bleed air" from the engine, failed at the same rate.
One in every five drain valves, used to remove moisture from the system, was found to not fully close. The Air Force said that contributed to small amounts of bleed air leakage and added that components "have been mitigated or replaced as necessary to ensure continued safe system operation."
"We're finding issues with some of the parts. … We're finding moisture in the condensers that shouldn't be there," Gen. Ellen Pawlikowski, who heads the Air Force Materiel Command, said last month. "We're finding valves that are sticking. All of those things are things that we're fixing, and we're looking at what's the right cycle, the number of hours before we replace the different components in them."
Similar events last year caused the Navy to idle its T-45 Goshawk trainer for three months and have occurred in recent years in the F-22A, one of the Air Force's newest fighters, and the F-15C/D, a much older plane.
The T-6, a single-engine, two-seat plane designed for joint primary pilot training in the Air Force and Navy, began flying at Randolph around 18 years ago. Its troubles have left turbulence beyond the flight line, prompting a personnel shakeup in the T-6 System Program Office. While the Air Force didn't directly address a claim made in an online pilot forum that six people in the office were shuffled into less-visible jobs elsewhere, it did say in response to a question that "limited personnel shifts and additions were made to align experience with the magnitude, impact and difficulty of this challenge."
The program office "remains keenly focused on ensuring the T-6 remains an operationally safe, suitable and effective platform," the statement said.

February's delay in training aviators came as the Air Force has been shedding veteran pilots at an alarming rate. Last year, it was 1,300 pilots below its goal of 5,300. AETC had projected that it would train about 1,200 during the current fiscal year, 1,300 in fiscal year 2019 and 1,400 for 2020. During the month the plane was grounded, the Air Force said it lost flying time for more than 100 pilots.
Besides inspecting and cleaning the OBOGS, the Air Force has conducted a root-cause evaluation that includes a comprehensive assessment of all aircraft encountering unexplained physiological episodes.
AETC and the T-6 System Program Office will launch a feasibility study this month into the possibility of including an automatic backup oxygen system in the plane. In the meantime, it has bought new testing equipment and increased the frequency of existing maintenance work. It also is educating pilots about physiological events.
Air Force Secretary Heather Wilson "has asked for a belt-and-suspenders approach," said the Materiel Command's Pawlikowski. "The OBOGS is an important system, and the engineers have confidence in it. There is no single point of failure, but it doesn't hurt to have a backup, since no root cause has been determined."

"SURVIVOR: REDEMPTION ISLAND," THE 22nd EDITION OF TELEVISION'S LONGEST-RUNNING REALITY COMPETITION SERIES, PREMIERES WEDNESDAY, FEB. 16, 8:00-9:00 PM
The Spring Edition Will Feature a New Format Twist
SURVIVOR: REDEMPTION ISLAND, the 22nd edition of television's longest-running reality competition series, premieres Wednesday, Feb.16 (8:00-9:00 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network.
The spring edition of SURVIVOR will feature a new twist when, for the first time, castaways who have been eliminated from the game will have an opportunity to seek redemption and return for a chance to win the million dollar prize. Each week at Tribal Council when a castaway is voted off, they will be sent to an isolated island called "Redemption Island," where they will live alone in exile. To stay on Redemption Island, they will need to compete in a duel against the next person eliminated (and then against each subsequent person voted off), with the loser being sent home. The winner of each duel earns the right to continue fighting for an opportunity to return to the game and the chance to compete for the title of Sole Survivor.
Sunday's finale of SURVIVOR: NICARAGUA, won by Jud "Fabio" Birza, capped a winning season for SURVIVOR in its new Wednesday (8:00-9:00 PM, ET/PT) time period. SURVIVOR: NICARAGUA, which won its time period in viewers and key demographics every week this season against regular competition, improved the year-ago time period by +83% each in viewers (13.36m from 7.30m), adults 18-49 (4.2 from 2.3) and adults 25-54 (5.5 from 3.0). SURVIVOR was also up +1% in viewers compared to its own Thursday performance last season.
SURVIVOR is hosted by Emmy Award-winner Jeff Probst and produced by SEG, Inc. Mark Burnett, Jeff Probst and David Burris are executive producers.

ORLANDO, Fla. – A Kissimmee man was sentenced Tuesday to two years and one day in prison, along with 25 hours of community service, for aggravated identity theft and conspiracy to produce fraudulently obtained driver's licenses. This case was investigated by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement's (ICE) Homeland Security Investigations (HSI), the Department of State's Bureau of Diplomatic Security Services and the Florida Highway Patrol's Bureau of Criminal Investigations and Intelligence.
According to court documents, Walter Brown, 42, was a customer service representative at the Osceola County Tax Collector's Office, where he issued driver's licenses and identification cards. Court documents show, in this capacity, Brown issued more than 250 Florida driver's licenses and identification cards to individuals who may not have been legally entitled to the documents. In some instances, Brown issued fraudulent driver's licenses and identification cards in multiple identities to the same person. Brown made an estimated $300 to $700 for each fraudulent identity document he issued.
The Osceola County Tax Collector's Office reported Brown to law enforcement after internal controls revealed suspicious activity involving his issuance of Florida driver's licenses and identification cards. The Tax Collector's Office cooperated fully in the investigation and Brown was terminated from his employment.
"Identity and document fraud poses a significant threat to our country's national security. This individual fraudulently issued identity documents to hundreds of individuals with no regard for the people whose identities were compromised," said Susan McCormick, special agent in charge of Homeland Security Investigations Tampa, which oversees the agency's Orlando office that conducted this investigation. "Thanks to cooperation from the Osceola County Tax Collector's Office, we were able to dismantle this scheme."
Brown pleaded guilty Dec.13.

Punjab govt imposes tax on life-saving vaccines
According to details, the provincial government has imposed 0.09 percent Punjab Infrastructure Development tax on free vaccines to immunize children from a number of diseases in the province.
It is pertinent to mention here that international organizations such as UNICEF provide free vaccines to immunize children.
The federal Ministry for Health has urged the provincial government to withdraw imposition of duty on vaccines but Punjab Revenue Authority has rejected the federal ministry demand.
The health ministry has contacted Chief Secretary Punjab and informed him about the possible damage to the immunization campaign in the province in case of imposition of tax on vaccines.
Meanwhile, poliovirus was found in environmental samples collected from Rawalpindi and Lahore.
The provincial government has imposed infrastructure development tax on import of vaccines that help control childhood illness, disability and mortality under the Expanded Programme on Immunisation.
A large quantity of vaccines including poliomyelitis, neonatal tetanus, measles, diphtheria, pertussis (Whooping Cough), Hepatitis-B, pneumonia, meningitis, childhood tuberculosis, besides logistics (syringes, safety boxes, refrigerators) is being donated by international health partners such as Global Alliance for Vaccine Immunization (GAVI) through UNICEF to vaccinate 6.9 million children of Pakistan free of cost each year.

Another class act by Jaffer
Wasim Jaffer's unbeaten 125 puts Mumbai in commanding position against Odisha
Don't be surprised if Wasim Jaffer is regarded as the 'Big boss' of Mumbai's dressing room. With every knock, the elegant right-hander has stamped his authority in domestic cricket.
On Saturday, against Odisha Jaffer, who last played a Test match in 2008, once again was the star performer for the 40-time Ranji champions as the India opener slammed an unbeaten 125 to bring up his 51st first-class ton at the Wankhede Stadium. Mumbai ended the opening day of their last Ranji Trophy league match on home turf at 242-2.
Jaffer, who is leading the side after two seasons, had no hesitation in electing to bat after winning the toss. But once again, the openers failed to put up a good score. Aditya Tare (16) was beautifully squared up by medium-pacer Basant Mohanty, who troubled the Mumbai openers frequently. The extra bounce also surprised Tare, who edged it to wicketkeeper Sujit Lenka, making a debut on his birthday.
Next was Sushant Marathe (27), who failed to connect Mohanty's inswinger that disrupted his furniture. Once again, hopes were pinned on Jaffer. He did not disappoint. The veteran batsman took his own sweet time to settle down in the middle amidst a charged-up Odisha side. That excitement soon faded out.
When on song, it is difficult to stop Jaffer.
The elegant drives and the flicks off his pads were as usual, a treat to watch. Just before the tea break, Jaffer upped the tempo of Mumbai innings, smashing two sixes off Dhiraj Singh's over. A few overs later, he chose Singh to bring up his third century of the season with a sweep shot. A ball later, Jaffer lofted Singh for a six over midwicket.
A special visitor
There was a special person in the stands watching Jaffer's batting closely - his nephew Armaan, who rushed to Churchgate immediately after his practice session at Bandra Kurla Complex in the afternoon. "I heard Wasim uncle was batting. It is always a treat to watch him bat. There is so much to learn from him. I learnt how to build your innings when bowlers are dominating.
He is my idol and I like to play like him," said Armaan, who recently got picked in the Mumbai team against Kerala for the U-19 Cooch Behar
Trophy. Seeing Jaffer's fluency, southpaw Hiken Shah, who is batting on 67, also started to open up his strokes.
"It is always a joy to bat with Wasimbhai. He takes a lot of pressure off the other batsmen. He just told me to stay at the wicket because they were bowling a consistent line and length," said Shah. Meanwhile, 42-year-old Pravin Tambe became the oldest Indian player to debut in first-class cricket.
Brief scores: Mumbai 242-2 (W Jaffer 125*, Hiken Shah 67*, B Mohanty 2-33) vs Odisha

Return to Wetland Mitigation Sites Map
Crystal Lake Area Properties (Site #3, 44, 46, 47, and 53) are located to the north, west, and south of the lake. Some of the properties abut the lake providing important buffering functions to the lake. The properties are contiguous with one another and would provide a wildlife corridor extending from Crystal Lake to Great Cohas Swamp. With a variety of wetland and upland habitats, preservation of these areas would protect many of the functions and values impacted in other wetlands due to highway construction. The approximately 120 acres (all parcels combined) are more suitable as preservation properties than wetland creation. Preservation of these remaining Crystal Lake parcels is a top priority of the Crystal Lake Preservation Association and has been endorsed by the Manchester Board of Aldermen.

As you may know, recently I started a travel series, where I write a little about some places I've ventured to, and put up some pics for you to have a nosy at. So far I've wrote about Dubai and Amsterdam!
I wanted to save New York til last, I mean, I've been lucky enough to travel to some other really amazing places such as Singapore, Tokyo and Vegas, but I decided I'd waited long enough to write about my one true love… New York <3
Have you ever just been to a place and fell in love? I know it's cliche, but everything you've heard about New York is true, there's just something different about it, like, once you're there never want to leave. Everything about New York city is just amazing, the sights, the shops, the FOOD, the certain busy city ambience about the place – and coming from someone who aint too fond of big crowds and busy places, there's just something different about New York making it hands down my favourite place in the whole world. I can't even look through the photo's from my visits without getting the same butterfly feeling I got both times I touched down in NYC.
I've been to the city twice, once in the Winter and once in the Summer, which, if anyone lives in New York or if you've also been in both seasons you'll know they're on the complete opposite ends of the spectrum. Summer is ridiculously hot and humid making the sights amazing but the underground almost unbearable. And the Winter is freezing… like FREEZING freezing, but snowy and cute. (Yay for silver linings)
If I was to go again (Please God say I will) I think I'd try to find a happy medium, maybe Spring time or Autumn, but nevertheless I don't think I'll ever visit somewhere I adore more so here are some of my snaps from both of my visits 😀
(All photo's are my own)
Rain or sun New York manages to look postcard ready. (How much is that first pic making you excited for Christmas???)
The sights are absolutely breathtaking at every corner, whether you're taking a stroll in Central Park or on top of the Rockefeller Centre, why can't I just live in New York? That is the ultimate dream.
You never know you might just bump into your FAVE actresses in the middle of filming Gossip Girl? Or accidentally stumble across a reality TV show being filmed.
One of the best things about going to New York is you can eat as much of the amaaaaazing food as you want because you'll be walking enough to burn it off three times over! (Kinda)
Who doesn't want mac and cheese on a pizza? Gotta get those carbs!
If you've seen When Harry Met Sally, which if you haven't you totally should, then you can pop in to Katz's Deli where it was filmed and sit in the exact spot they sat in, and if you've seen it you'll understand the reference! 😀
That's all of the photo's I'm going to share for now! If you like my travel posts please let me know in the comments as I still have a tonne of photo's from other holidays I've been on that I'd lovveeee to put into a post! <3
Thanks for reading,

De s p i t e xpectations to the con- trary, invest- ment activity s t i l l h a s n't p i c k e d u p
significantly. Demand for quality properties continues to far exceed supply,
and a large number of investors are
still sitting on the sidelines, ready to
pounce on good opportunities.
Among them are some of the largest institutional players in the country.
In the face of a slow market, the
investment fund managers who oversee the activities of these firms are
charged with the difficult task of placing capital and getting good returns
from their existing investments.
A handful of managers from some
of the leading US institutions convened this past June for the 14th
Annual Transwestern/REAL ESTATE
FORUM Institutional Investor
Symposium, held at the Ritz-Carlton
Hotel in Washington, DC. In addition
to discussing the difficulties of doing
business in today's tough market,
these executives shared their thoughts
on the likelihood of a double dip, the
impact of the global financial crisis,
the availability of distressed product
and their outlook and strategies for
investments. An edited version of that

Supreme Court refuses to hear Redskins appeal in trademark case
The United States Supreme Court rejected an appeal from the Washington Redskins trademark case, denying the petition for review before a lower court had a chance to rule on the matter.
The Redskins were appealing a decision to cancel their trademarks over concerns their name disparages Native Americans. Federal law prohibits trademarks on racial slurs.
The team will not lose the trademark until appeals have run their course through the legal system, but they can still be allowed to use the "Redskins" nickname if they seek protection under state law.
In June 2014, the United States Patent and Trademark Office canceled six federal trademark registrations for the Redskins, saying the nickname is "disparaging to Native Americans" and cannot be trademarked under federal law that prohibits trademark protection on offensive or disparaging language.
In a separate matter, the justices will decide whether the trademark law violates the First Amendment. The case involves The Slants, an Asian-American rock band that was denied a trademark on the ground that it disparages Asians.
A federal court earlier ruled in favor of the band, while the Redskins had hoped that the court would hear both cases together.
Redskins owner Dan Snyder has repeatedly said that he will not change the nickname despite the opposition.
The original lawsuit was brought by plaintiff Amanda Blackhorse, who sued the team and claimed that the name "Redskins" disparaged Native Americans. She said the nickname is a racist slur that never should have been trademarked in the first place. Washington has filed for trademarks on "Redskins" four times since 1967.
The team has used the "Redskins" name since 1932.

THE parents at the centre of the ''wrongful birth'' case in the NSW Supreme Court are seeking compensation not only for the life-long care of their disabled son, but for the mental distress they have suffered as a result, telling the court they suffer from depression.
But lawyers for the defendant yesterday questioned the medical basis of the couple's claim.
Debbie and Lawrence Waller are suing the IVF specialist who oversaw the conception of their son Keeden, because he suffered a massive stroke four days after birth that caused severe brain damage.
Keeden, 11, cannot walk or talk, and suffers dangerous seizures on a regular basis. Mr and Mrs Waller say the stroke was the result of a rare blood clotting condition that Keeden inherited from his father.
They say they told the specialist, Dr Christopher James, about the condition but he did not warn them of the 50 per cent risk that it would be passed on.
In addition to seeking compensation for Keeden's life-long care, the Wallers are suing for mental stress under the legal heading of ''nervous shock''. When Keeden was rushed back to hospital four days after his birth, the Wallers were told that he was likely to die. Their hopes were raised when the baby began to recover, but then dashed when they were told of his permanent disabilities.
In statements tendered in court, Mr and Mrs Waller say they suffer from depression as a result of this experience and ongoing difficulties of caring for Keeden.
But yesterday, lawyers for Dr James said that there was little evidence that the blood clotting disorder caused strokes in children.
''There are millions of children … who suffer from this disorder, but the incidence of stroke is extremely rare,'' Dr James's barrister, Jeremy Kirk, SC, said.
He said that if there was no provable link between the blood condition and Keeden's stroke, then Dr James could not be held responsible for the brain damage.
''You can no more blame Dr James for Keeden's stroke than you could blame him in a situation where Keeden picked up some terrible hospital infection or if the umbilical cord had become wrapped around his neck,'' Mr Kirk said.'
The hearing continues.

Number of porn films shot in Los Angeles shrinks after new condom law was passed.
The Los Angeles Times reported that the number of permits issued for porn productions in LA County dropped by 90 per cent between 2012 and 2013, to a total of 40. According to Film LA, the body responsible for the permits, just 20 were issued in the first seven months of this year.
In 2011, an estimated 5,000 adult films were produced in Los Angeles, many of them in the San Fernando Valley, which is considered the industry's spiritual home. Porn is thought to have accounted for as many as 20,000 jobs in the region. That is, until the new law, known as Measure B, was passed by LA County voters in November 2012, after AIDS activists campaigned on its behalf, claiming it would prevent the disease spreading among porn performers.
Porn professionals insist the law is unnecessary, because the industry already enforces mandatory HIV testing for performers, many of whom dislike wearing condoms. Audiences are also thought to prefer their adult entertainment condom-free, which is why porn production has largely relocated to more laissez-faire locales, including Las Vegas, Florida, Latin America and Eastern Europe.
Paul Audley, the president of Film LA, described the decrease in permits in LA County as "dramatic", telling the LA Times, "It is a cause for concern that people who are manning the cameras, lights and other things on those sets are not working anymore."

Anti-turbine vote is 'legally pointless'
Cllr Padraig Fleming's motion against the development of large wind turbines will have no bearing on the legal planning process, county manager Peter Carey informed the monthly meeting of Laois County Council.
The motion was "pointless from a legal perspective," he said. It is the constitutional right of any individual to submit a planing application. A planning decision is the executive function of the local authority and a decision can't be pre-empted, Mr Carey said. "I as county manager can't take any cognisance of it. The planning system is transparent and is subject to a judicial review," he said.
The motion, he said "is meaningless, to be quite honest".
On several occasions, Mr Carey stressed that the motion was not something which the planning authority could not take into account. "We are constrained under a legal process," he said.
The council does not have any applications before them in relation to wind turbines. In the past there were two such planning applications, one of which was refused and the other was withdrawn.
Mr Carey did not feel the motion should be voted on by the councillors, stressing again that it would no bearing on planning decisions.

So, I went ahead and composed a document which indicates correspondence between terms in the POMR ontology and those in the relevant 'foundational' ontologies (GALEN, WordNet, DOLCE, OBI, and OBO-RO). It is attached from the Ontology Task Force Wiki for the POMR ontology: http://esw.w3.org/topic/HCLS/OntologyTaskForce/POMR http://esw.w3.org/topic/HCLS/OntologyTaskForce/POMR?action=AttachFile&do=get&target=clinical-mapping.html I should start with the disclaimer that I am *not* a clinician by trade, but the semantics I've tried to capture are completely derived from the literature I've been exposed to. The mapping captures (mostly) what is already expressed in the ontology, but the intent here is to make the gaps and correspondence more visible to (perhaps) generate conversation on how we can close these gaps. I augmented the mapping with terms I found in the OBI ontology which seemed to match directly with the semantics the POMR terms attempt capture. Where I wasn't sure about the OBI terms I settled on, I have a question mark. For instance: is a cpr:clinical-description a obi:OBI_344? I also have links (in context) to the relevant literature where the formal definitions were derived. Some of these citations need to be augmented with more formal sources than Wikipedia and WordNet (although in some cases these seem to do a decent job). The XHTML document is generated from an XML document via an XSLT transformation (both are attached).

I'm not quite sure I understand the notion of a disease as a clinical process. The (general) definition of a disease in the POMR, follows from the formal definition given in the OBR paper (http://ontology.buffalo.edu/bio/OBR.pdf), which covers a disease process and a disease as a material continuant. The notion of a clinical process as defined in the POMR, follows from Elisabeth Bayegan's workflow characterization (http://www.idi.ntnu.no/~bayegan/pub/bayegan_ictai02.pdf) of the various archetypes of clinical acts and their instantiations in the family-care workflow. She makes the distinction between a CareActType and the instantiation of such CareActs documented within a patient record (as recordings of a process). I found her workflow characterization of clinical activities recorded in a patient record quite useful. > Maybe you and Matthias can give some meet to "Disease as a biological process"? As indicated in the mapping, I settled on obi:OBI_155 and galen:PathologicalPhenomenon as the authoritative definition of the general notion of a disease. Anything beyond this level of granularity is outside my comfort zone (and is the kind of thing a first-class disease ontology should model unambiguously). Though I noticed (while browsing OBI): ".. BS did not view disease as a process, and indeed it is now a child of dependent continuant. rdfs:label (en) : disease editor_note (Datatype http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string) : rem1: BP - placed into quality. needs to be discussed " -- Chimezie Ogbuji Lead Systems Analyst Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery Cleveland Clinic Foundation 9500 Euclid Avenue/ W26 Cleveland, Ohio 44195 Office: (216)444-8593 firstname.lastname@example.com =================================== Cleveland Clinic is ranked one of the top 3 hospitals in America by U.S.News & World Report.

Retro-Bit releasing wireless Dreamcast, Saturn controllers this year
During CES last week, Retro-Bit revealed their new officially licensed Sega accessories. The company announced a partnership with Sega in December to bring out official Genesis, Saturn and Dreamcast accessories and boy, they are delivering the goods.
The company will be releasing Bluetooth, wireless controllers for the Genesis, Saturn and Dreamcast later this year. They will also be shipping new video cables for each platform. The wireless Saturn and Dreamcast controller are the items that have caught my attention.
There is a fan-made wireless Dreamcast controller that has been available online in limited capacity over the past few years but it would normally cost roughly $150. If this Bluetooth controller is at least half decent, it will be a revelation for retro gamers like myself. Retro-Bit says that these controllers will work on original hardware through a bluetooth adapter that plugs into the normal controller slot.
Since these are officially licensed from Sega it gives me hope they will actually work well. We will have to wait and see.

According to Utah State University professor Jim Cangelosi, most people have fallen prey to a common ruse.
"Their experiences with textbook-driven 'school math' have left them with the impression mathematics is a robotic activity with either 'right' or 'wrong' answers," says Cangelosi, who joined the faculty of USU's Department of Mathematics and Statistics in 1982. "'I'm no good at math' is a common refrain — thus, it's a joyous challenge for me to immerse students in the culture of authentic mathematics and rock their world."
Recognized for his dedication to students and contributions to the field of math education, Cangelosi was named a 2011 Carnegie Professor of the Year. One of 31 professors from across the nation selected for this year's prestigious honor, the Louisiana native's award was announced at a Nov. 17 ceremony in Washington, D.C.
Administered by the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching and the Council for Advancement and Support of Education, the award recognizes outstanding professors for their influence on teaching and their extraordinary commitment to undergraduate education. Cangelosi is the 11th Utah State professor to receive the award since the program's 1981 inception. USU has more than twice as many honorees as any other higher education institution in Utah.
"Do the math: Jim Cangelosi has voluntarily expanded his teaching load to 2.5 times the average load for his department and has employed more than 200 students on his funded projects," says USU President Stan Albrecht. "His commitment to the success of each of his students is incredible and it's an honor to have him on our faculty."
USU College of Science Dean Jim MacMahon calls Cangelosi a vital spirit in the college and an accomplished educator of national repute.
"He is well liked and respected among his colleagues, but his students are among his most enthusiastic fans," MacMahon says.
"Dr. Cangelosi has a way of blending critique with encouragement that leaves me feeling like I am capable of more than I thought possible," says Morgan Summers '11. "He does this, in part, by making an explicit distinction between my worth as a person and the quality and value of my work."
Even in his classes of more than 200 students, Cangelosi makes an effort to watch for "math anxiety" among class members.
"I use a tablet laptop that allows me to circulate through the classroom, while displaying coursework on a large screen," he says. "This allows me to overhear students' muted expressions, read their body language and prompt otherwise quiet students to contribute to discussions. I establish a classroom climate where students feel free to experiment and make mistakes without embarrassment."
Cangelosi's unorthodox sense of humor helps. Each year, the professor shows up for a class, clad in a white robe and purple sash, as ancient Greek philosopher Pythagoras. Directing students to sit on the floor in a circle, he describes the culture of the Pythagoreans and encourages participants to develop proofs for the Pythagorean Theorem.
"Dr. Cangelosi is an inspirational leader, a friend, a surrogate father, a paradigm and the true heart of the university's mathematical education program," says USU alum David Packard, now a teacher at Utah's Thomas Edison Charter School North. "To his students, he's the 'Professor of a Lifetime.'"
Packard was among a group of nearly 100 students and alumni who honored the professor with a surprise appreciation party in 2004. The gathering included custom T-shirts emblazoned with "The Man, the Myth, the Legend" and an image of the professor dressed in — what else? — Pythagorean attire.
"I thought I was going to watch my son perform in a concert, but when I realized my students had gathered for a surprise party in my honor, I almost had a coronary," Cangelosi recalls. "I was overwhelmed — very touched."
Among the professor's claims to fame are the multiple invitations he's received to escort College of Science valedictorians at commencement — an honor students bestow upon a faculty member who has had the most impact on them. Cangelosi has donned a robe and escorted six valedictorians — a university record.
"Jim inspired me to become a math teacher and employ his methods in my own classroom," says Erinn Harris '11. "Because of this, I could see no other professor to choose as my faculty escort at graduation."
More at home in jeans and a flannel shirt than academic regalia, Cangelosi's unassuming presence belies a scholar nationally recognized for his research and contributions to his field.
"Jim is 'Paul Bunyan-like' not only in appearance but in his tireless efforts to tackle our national crisis in mathematics literacy," says Richard Cutler, head of USU's Department of Mathematics and Statistics. "His textbook Teaching Mathematics in Secondary and Middle School: An Interactive Approach is in its third edition and he's authored ten books on math teaching, academic assessment and classroom management."
Beyond USU's campus, Cangelosi, working with the Utah State Office of Education, initiated the Utah Mathematics Endorsement Project in 2007, to deliver advanced distance education courses to public secondary school mathematics teachers throughout the state.
"The UMEP program began as a federal Title IIB grant focused on providing potential mathematics teachers throughout Utah, including those in rural areas, with a way to gain endorsements to teach secondary mathematics," says Diana Suddreth, USOE teaching and learning specialist in secondary mathematics. "Jim has become a master of using technology to enhance distance instruction. I've sat in on a number of his lessons and have been mesmerized by his ability to draw me and other students in as though we're all sitting together in the same classroom."
Suddreth adds that Cangelosi is a promoter of collaboration and networking within Utah.
"As a member of the revision committee that produced the new Utah Core Mathematics Curriculum, Jim revealed himself a thoughtful mathematician and dedicated educator as he helped us create a system that students would actually enjoy — not just tolerate," she says.
Among all his endeavors, Cutler says, Cangelosi sees his highest calling as the education of future teachers of mathematics and statistics.
"USU offers the only undergraduate program in the world that prepares its pre-service mathematics teachers to teach statistics as well as math," he says. "And though he's a master at teaching, he stresses to his students that even he continually strives to refine his craft. For Jim, scholarship and teaching are not separate — his scholarship is a direct result of his classroom activity and, in turn, his scholarship enhances his teaching."

Bed Bases & Trundles
Although a slatted base comes standard with all our beds, you may wish to upgrade. Whether it be an un-sprung bed base or a sprung bed base, the upgrade can not only improve your quality of sleep but also the quality of the bed overall.
If you have any questions about adding on a bed base, please feel free to give us a call on 01485 542516 and we can guide you through the world of bed bases.
About our Bed Bases
Bed bases are designed for two reasons, one being the aesthetic, but the more important reason being that they help maintain and protect your mattresses comfort and support for longer!
If you are thinking of adding a base onto your bed, your mattress height will be raised and this could look odd on some designs. However, worry not because here at Wrought Iron & Brass Bed co all of our beds are handcrafted, meaning we can alter the height of the side rails to compensate for this. This means your bed looks perfect whatever height of mattress you go for.
Take a look at our various styles of mattresses including the very popular pocket sprung mattress and our open coil mattress, they're both designed to give you ultimate levels of comfort.

Bridging the Manufacturing Skills Gap in Rural America
A webinar series sponsored by the North Central Regional Center for Rural Development in collaboration with the Purdue Center for Regional Development
About the webinar series: Globalization is creating an increasing skills gap in the US labor market, particularly within the nation's growing manufacturing sector. Yet the gap is not a pervasive national problem, but rather, highly localized, with rural areas often confronting disproportionately deeper skills shortages than their non-rural counterparts. This webinar series highlights some of the key workforce issues throughout the US rural manufacturing heartland, and discusses innovative national and local programs, strategies and solutions in place geared to enhancing skills at the local level and bolstering long term economic growth.
The Skills Problem in America's Industrial Heartland: Casual Factors and Local Strategies (1/22/15)

Myofascial Release Therapy
Myofascial Release is a safe and very effective hands-on technique that involves applying gentle sustained pressure to the restrictions in the Myofascial connective tissue to eliminate pain and restore motion. This soft tissue can become restricted due to overuse, emotional and physical trauma, infection, inactivity, and muscle tension. When the Myofascial tissue is compromised, pain often results due to diminished blood flow.
When a Myofascial Release therapy session takes the tissue to a significant position, or when Myofascial unwinding allows a body part to assume a significant position three-dimensionally in space, the tissue changes and improves. In addition memories, associated emotional states and beliefs can rise to the level of conscious awareness and it is here that trauma can be released.
In a tailored private sessions, Beta will make an evaluation and assessment to your specific needs. Before a private session, a short interview is conducted to gain insight into your health and physical, mental and emotional state.
Together you will also explore aspects of your lifestyle, and what you would like to achieve with the session.
Beta treats men and women with a variety of physical and emotional symptoms.
Myofascial Release Therapy Private session will
- Attend to bulging disc(s)
- Treat Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
- Address cervical and lumbar injuries

text: ''Death be not proud, though some have called thee Mighty and dreadful, for thou art not so... ................................................ ................................................ One short sleep past, we wake eternally And death shall be no more; death, thou shalt die.'' - John Donne Few humans have defied death as valiantly as Partap Sharma. A victim of emphysema, he was given six months to live in 2004. But Partap was not one to give in to dire predictions. Using Yoga, Tibetan medicine, classical music singing and stem cell transplants he fought off the inevitable, remaining creative till his last breath seven years later. His passing on the last day of November leaves a deep void in the creative world. In the early years Partap, popularly known as The Voice of India, was the prominent voice on hundreds of Films Division documentaries and commercial ads, often running from one recording studio to another in a single day. Two decades later he started The Studio not far from his home, little realizing that this studio would provide the base for his most exceptional voice work. When his first play A TOUCH OF BRIGHTNESS ran into trouble and was censored because it featured a prostitute, Partap got a court verdict censoring the Censor Board. His later plays BEGUM SUMROO and SAMMY! have been applauded by international audiences. Emphysema hit Partap while he was acting as Nehru in a Chinese film. In 2004 Partap received the citation ''The Voice of India'' and was jovially asked to sing. He started training in the Gwalior gharana of Hindustani classical music, growing increasingly conscious of breath control. His oxygen levels rose. He was able to have long conversations. He started carrying a portable oxygen cylinder and re-vitalised his social life. Then a neighbour asked Partap to help her son struggling with JULIUS CAESAR in school. Partap, author of several books for children, decided to do a recording of the play to make Shakespeare accessible not just to the neighbour''s son but to all children. Intensifying his early morning breathing regimen, Partap spent weeks in his studio rehearsing voice modulation to take on all the complex Shakespearean characters. The CD that emerged is not only a brilliant solo rendering of Shakespeare''s famous historical plays, but is also testimony to the triumph of human will over a decaying body. The recording was followed by two another Shakespearean classics, MACBETH and THE MERCHANT OF VENICE. The three CDs form a trilogy of Partap''s solo rendering of Shakespeare''s plays. 'I used to be a martial artist. That taught me never to consider limits but go beyond,' Partap told me in an interview after the recording of JULIUS CAESAR. 'One of the doctors told my wife I must be a spiritual person but I''m not anything of the kind. I''m just determined,' he added. It was but sheer determination that fuelled the extension of his life span. As the body grew frail and his stamina dropped, Partap''s creativity did not flag. He switched from Shakespeare to recording ''Home Songs'' written and sung for his grandson Zen. Too bad the grandchildren will miss his guiding hand. Too sad the creative world has lost an irreplaceable icon. *Meher Pestonji is a journalist, novelist and playwright. The radio version of her play, FEEDING CROWS won the South Asia segment of the BBC/British Council Radio Playwriting Competition in 2009 and was also the international runner-up.

Laporta 2010
One interesting result from the study was that 38% of people consider themselves equally Catalan and Spanish. 26% were more Catalan than Spanish, and 6% more Spanish than Catalan. Only 27% considered themselves exclusively Spanish or exclusively Catalan.
This means that 70% of the population considers their cultural identity a mix between Catalan and Spanish.
That pretty much matches my experience, where conversations in groups of natives tend to switch back and forth between Catalan and Spanish, depending on what the speaker is most comfortable in or the language friends got to know each other in.
In any case, so far there's little danger of Laporta endangering CiU's march toward supremacy in the next election (according to La Vanguardia):

Interesting. ERC looks to be the party with the biggest drop off of support since the last election.

"only" 47%? Given the margin of error, that is a technical 50/50.
Would you say "only 53%" are against it?
It is interesting how you spin out the results too.
Sui generis aggregation of data: "Only 27% consider themselves exclusively Spanish or exclusively Catalan".
Actually, only about 12% considered themselves more Spanish than Catalan (6%) OR only Spanish (6%).
The survey also comes out with something that is common knowledge but the pro-Spanish media (not least LV) always manage to hide: about 33% voters of PSC-PSOE would support independence.
As for La Vanguardia's survey, Laporta has already replied.
Alternative view here.
LV's pro-Spanish bias and historic anti-Laporta stance from the days of Elefant Blau does not make it an objective media.
Indeed, ERC will shed again tens of thousand votes, like at the European elections and at the second tripartit. But this has nothing to do with waning support for independence as probably you both would love to think.
ERC will loss 15-30% of votes at least because it has become a party submissive to the PSOE and has betrayed the trust of the electorate. Not enough "independence" policy action.
These votes will be picked up by CiU but also by RCat. The latter is a most unpalatable outcome for the establishement of El Periodico, LV, El Pais, etc, hence the criminalisation of Carretero and Laporta by the Spanish media.
No matter how you guys spin it out, the issue of independence is setting the political agenda in Catalonia because there is a grassroots movement towards self-determination and becoming an independent state in the EU.
ERC got the votes a few years ago but chose "gravy train" instead of principles. The votes will go now to someone else.

Hey Rab - Nice to hear from you.
Without speaking for Sant Cugat, regarding the 47%, I think the point is polls are like statistics, anyone from any point of view can find numbers to support their perspective. the fact that the question was phrased as laporta wanted it and still didn't garner a plurality of support shows that it's not an issue that drives most people.
That's why there is no grass roots movement for independence. most people are worried about the economy, the education, their retirement etc...And, yes, most people view themselves as split region whether it be catalan /asturiano, extremeño or gallego because the truth of the matter is most people have family ties to both regions.
You say ERC's drop in support is due to not being sufficiently Catalan. Perhaps that's why you and the other 1.8% support Laporta. But I'd be curious to see how much of CiU's numbers improved/declined after they proposed a national unity pact.
Finally, disregarding all media other than avui is like a spanish nationalist only citing La razon. both are owned by planeta and the founder Lara is an espanyol supporter, you know that right?

The wording of the question is really the key. If the question was "Do you want Catalunya to unilaterally declare complete independence from Spain, even if this may result in loss of Spanish citizenship for residents and an uncertain process for entry into the EU?"
I'm not sure that any real independentist would vote for CiU given that their official party policy is to promote "reforms" of the Spanish state to defend the rights of Catalunya.
Sure, Artur Mas said that he'd vote "yes" in an referendum on independence (and other CiU leaders stress their personal preference for independence), but officially, the word isn't even mentioned in their manifestos (except with regards to greater independence for disabled people).

SIS Productions, an all-volunteer company created to provide leadership opportunities and decision-making roles for Asian American women, is launching a campaign to Celebrate Women through all the work that we do – on stage, behind the scenes, and in the community. SIS hopes to inspire people of all genders, ages and races to re-imagine how women are valued in our culture. Envision what might be possible if women are appreciated for their accomplishments over their looks, size or weight. Where young girls are taught to reach their full-potential. Where women past a certain age are sought after for their wisdom and advice rather than fading into invisibility.
Washer/Dryer by Nandita Shenoy is a contemporary comedy about a modern Indian-American woman who elopes with a Chinese-American man only to realize that happily-ever-after is much more challenging when you're living on an actor's salary and trying to hold onto an apartment that has the most coveted of amenities – its own washer/dryer. A colorful cast of nosy neighbors and an disapproving mother-in-law take the dual-ethnicity couple for a spin in this Rom-Com about "Crazy Poor Asians." Under the pressures of culture and tradition, they discover that they haven't been entirely honest with each other or themselves, and must decide if all is really fair in love and real estate.
Washer/Dryer is a co-production with Pratidhwani!
Runs September 6 – 22, 2019
