- One of my favorites !DocjrsVIPDined on 11/20/2014The food here is excellent ! We have been here several times before and have never been disappointed.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- former Thomson's Club Rebornsrcorb22VIPDined on 11/1/2014Food was excellent. Steak was exceptional. The sides are interesting and plentiful. Very comfortable dining room. The only thing missing was a valet service, especially on a windy, rainy night.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2008Dined on 11/1/201422 oz. Bone-in Sirloin Strip was excellent but smaller than some 16 oz. Sirloins I've had in the past. Two sides came with the meal. I had Pancetta Brussel Sprouts and Prime Au Gratin (sliced potatoes in cheese sauce). Both sides were not done to my liking. They were both on the crunchy side. Probably won't return.
- NickMeatsDined on 10/30/2014I booked this place for my parents anniversary and wrote that in the note when booking.. They sat next to the fireplace, had flowers on the table, and had complementary desertSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great TimeOpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 10/25/2014Came back from school to go out with my parents for a birthday steak. Food was great, servers were nice and had good recommendations. The food comes out at a nice pace so you get your apps and dinner spaced which was nice and gave us time to chat and drink.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Top notch steak houseFoodfunDined on 10/25/2014Teresa's Prime met all expectations of a high class steak house. The only negative to an otherwise great dinner was a side order of mushrooms that were not hot.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Service too slowsnowbirdwannabeDined on 10/25/2014Made reservations for 7:30p. Didn't get seated until 8:30p. Service was very slow. We sat almost an hour.. We had to ask for the bread. The food was good. The 3rd time we've been there. The service is aweful!
- MeatMangiaLaPortaDined on 10/25/2014Our table was ready upon arrival. The NY aged sirloin was cooked to perfection, could almost cut it with a fork; all meals at our table were fantastic; Filet Mignon, Rib Eye & pork chops. All came with two accompaniments. The only down note was the service, it took over 10 minutes for a waiter to greet our table and at least 15 minutes to receive our drink order...the service did improve after the shaky start, but this is a top end restaurant; the service should be impeccable.Special Features:
- 2014 10 25SIGFOODDined on 10/25/2014Great food, though expensive - on par with Capital Grill, Strega, et. al. This was our second visit. First was great. This time, they were very busy and the service suffered. I don't think they were prepared for the number of guests. Still, we will likely try again.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- LuvDiningOutDined on 10/25/2014Food was good,Waitress was not very attentive;had to wait 20 min before we were able to order appetizers,waited quite a bit of time to have water replenished..Noticed a few tables where the diner was trying to get service but waitress was unavailable.. I felt that the restaurant did not have sufficient staffing on the floor and in the kitchen..We arrived at 7:00 and did not leave until 9:45 and we did not linger.It took that long to have the meal served and eaten.
- DemoKDined on 10/24/2014Great food and service. Excellent wine list and nice views of the grounds.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- over priced and not goodOpenTable Diner Since 2009VIPDined on 10/22/2014For the prices at this place you should be blown away. 220.00 for two people with drinks. The food was below average I needed steak sauce. ..who needs steak sauce for a $55.00 steak! (And they charged me $2.00 for the sauce)Special Features:
- Overall goodJodiDined on 10/18/2014quiet..not rushed...good value...plenty of parking...Special Features:
- excellent dinnerdeniseDined on 10/17/2014Went for my daughters birthday, there were 7 of us including my 4 yr old grandson. The food was excellent, beautiful restaurant.

- Upscale evening.8outDined on 10/11/2014Steaks and service were wonderful. Disappointing that the fireplace was out of order on an October night.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- almost perfectjaylVIPDined on 10/8/2014i love everything about this place except the quality and preparation of the steak, is the beef good? yes it is, but it is not exceptional, you 100% can get a better quality steak at many Boston Steakhouse's, and they dont have the prep down, no good hard sear on a rare steak, and a lot of problems in the execution of a Black and Blue Steak also, but everything else about this place is just fantastic!! great value for sure. if you are not a beef snob you will never have a reason to go into Boston for a Steakhouse dinner,
- wonderful experienceluvgooddiningDined on 9/27/2014excellent restaurant for dining. Food was excellent, along with ambiance and service. My husband and I had a wonderful dinner. We will certainly return in the future.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Wonderful Dining ExperienceLittleRedVIPDined on 9/20/2014Teresa's was a great find on Open Table. We were truly impressed with the decor, service, food, and wine list. On our way to the dining room my husband and I had the pleasure of meeting Nick, the owner of the restaurant. He gave us an overview of the restaurant and its history. Once seated, we had a wonderful server who allowed us to thoroughly enjoy our evening. We had shrimp cocktail and crab cocktails for starters. I had the 8 oz filet mignon and my husband had the prime rib-eye steak. Both steaks were cooked perfectly to medium rare. Two sides are included with meal. I will definitely return and would highly recommend Teresa's to friends and family.Special Features:

- Simply outstandingHealthspeakerVIPDined on 9/9/2014From the warm greetings to the outstanding service at the bar and table, to the terrific food, this was a hit. The special occasions were mentioned, complimentary desserts were served. This is a restaurant where you wonder what was better- the protein or the veggies? What a nice surprise to find this place, thanks to Open Table. We will most definitely be back. Thanks all for making us look good while we took our dear friends out for their anniversary.Special Features:
- SusanDined on 8/28/2014Wonderful service, great food! Always enjoy this restaurant.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2007VIPDined on 8/23/2014Steak was not of the quality one would expect for the price of $46.00. Too much gristle.
- RoCrowVIPDined on 8/22/2014My husband enjoys a great steak from time to time and his filet mignon was no exception. A steak house for me- more of a challenge as I eat no red meat; I ordered the scallops and asked for them cooked medium, but still found them a bit underdone for my taste. We shared a lovely salad and had no room for dessert. The wine list is both extensive and expensive- we always share a bottle at dinner and it was difficult to find a good, reasonably priced bottle. The service was terrific- helpful and attentive. I will come back and try the other seafood offerings, but feel that Teresa's is a bit pricey for us on a regular, say weekly basis.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- ServicegolfswingDined on 8/16/2014Everything was good except for the service. It seemed the waiter or his helper didn't know where the food should be placed. I was the only one to get my main dish served to me. The others had to switch. I also ordered the fried onions and the server placed them on the table and we all thought he put some other tables order order by mistake. When we ordered extra butter and bread, it took 10 minutes to receive it after many times asking. The food was great and plenty of it.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- handsome bobhandsomebobDined on 8/16/2014Very well received very good time. Thank you I will come back soon.Special Features:

- Teresa's Prime "gets it."RockyDined on 8/13/2014First heard about Teresa's on Phantom Gourmet and it did not disappoint in any way. The reception was warm, the service was impeccable and the food and wine was exceptional. Been there twice and will go back.Special Features:
- CJandPaulVIPDined on 8/12/2014The restaurant is beautiful, I love Monica at the bar, she is so accommodating, and so nice! I would highly recommend the crab cakes and the lamb chops!! Delicious!!Special Features:
- Great steaks outside the city!RicksterDined on 8/9/2014In a beautiful setting, this new steakhouse met more than our expectations. Surrounded by gardens, the entrance brings you to a well appointed restaurant where the tables were not too closely spaced. The privacy was welcomed. Service was very professional, and the food was excellent. Very good menu choices for a steakhouse. Sides were included, unlike many such places. Desserts were not as creative as they could have been, but overall, a great experience, and will definitely go back.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- OutstandingStacyDined on 7/19/2014I asked for a specific request on my opentable reservation, and Teresa's Prime obliged. Food was excellent! Crab cakes are outstanding as was the Lobster Fritters. Delicious! Food came out very hot, which is important to me. Server was great! I would definitely reccomend Teresa's Prime!Special Features:
- OutstandingjhamDined on 7/12/2014I have to say it was one of the best steaks I have ever had icluding all my trips to Las Vegas. If anyone has a chance go just for teh bacon appetizer. Amazing is all I can saySpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Excellent dinner!Brimel2527Dined on 7/11/2014If it feels a little strange paying Boston-level prices for a restaurant in North Reading, don't fret. Based on our visit, it was worth it. Nothing at all to complain about - top-notch service, wonderful food, nice atmosphere - first class all the way. Solid recommendations from our server, and everything done just as requested. We would not hesitate to recommend Teresa's Prime to anyone looking for a nice meal, especially if you don't want to drive into the city and scramble for parking.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

The food was delicious and the service was fantastic. I was very impressed with our waiter Robert and my compliments go out to the chef. My date and I loved the experience and we both highly recommend this establishment. It was a very expensive night out but in my mind, it was worth every penny.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Surprising treasure!CmcmDined on 6/12/2014My husband and I went to Teresa's Prime for a belated birthday celebration. Lobster fritters with cotton candy? They were outstanding...and there were 4 large pieces so it was plenty to share. Our waiter was terrific. She decanted our wine like a pro. Steaks include two sides which was also a nice surprise...and were both cooked perfectly. We are thrilled to have found such a gem so close to home and told all of our neighbors about it, too. Bravo Teresa's!!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

Christian pastor Rotimi Obajimi has escaped from terror group Boko Haram in Nigeria after nearly 10 months in captivity and has been brought back to his church, reports said.
"We were so amazed to see him because we have been praying earnestly for a long time trusting Jesus that He would surely come back, but lo and behold he was brought to our headquarters in Maiduguri by the military," a pastor at Redeem Church in Maiduguri told SaharaReporters.
Obajimi, who led the church in the rural area of Borno/Yobe province, was kidnapped by Islamic militants on Jan. 6. He was then taken to Sambisa Forest, where he was tied down for months, before being moved to an unknown destination and brought back to Sambisa once again. more >>
The spread of the deadly Ebola outbreak throughout West Africa is leaving hundreds of children orphaned, and a number of them are reportedly marginalized by some tribal communities due to the fear of witchcraft and black magic.
"There's a strong belief in witchcraft that Ebola is contracted through a curse or in some cases that it is a white man's fabrication," said Jamie Bedson, charity Restless Development's Sierra Leone country director, according to The Financial Times.
"There is a mistrust of foreigners, and in one place everyone threw away soap given out by the government because they thought it was poisoned." more >>
Over 35 humanitarian agencies have warned in a major report that close to two million people in South Sudan are facing severe food insecurity in the man-made crisis stemming from in-fighting, unless more aid is delivered to those who urgently need it.
"So far the soft approach of the international community in the peace negotiations has failed to secure a meaningful ceasefire," the report says.
A ceasefire was signed earlier this year between the government of President Salva Kiir and a rebel group linked to former Vice President Riek Machar, but the situation has not stabilized and fighting continues on a large scale throughout the country. more >>
Professor Peter Piot, director of the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine who named Ebola and was part of a team of scientists who discovered the virus in Kinshasa, formerly Zaire, in 1976, says the Ebola outbreak is no longer an epidemic but a "human catastrophe" he never thought "could get this bad."
"It should be clear to all of us: This isn't just an epidemic any more. This is a humanitarian catastrophe. We don't just need care personnel, but also logistics experts, trucks, jeeps and foodstuffs. Such an epidemic can destabilize entire regions. I can only hope that we will be able to get it under control. I really never thought that it could get this bad," said Piot when asked if the world had lost control of the Ebola epidemic in an interview with The Guardian.
"I have always been an optimist and I think that we now have no other choice than to try everything, really everything. It's good that the United States and some other countries are finally beginning to help. But Germany or even Belgium, for example, must do a lot more," he explained. more >>
Militants from terror group Boko Haram reportedly beheaded seven people in revenge attacks on Monday in the remote northeast town of Ngamdu in Nigeria.
Resident Musa Abor said that when Ngamdu locals awoke they found seven people that had been brutally killed. The gunmen "slit their (victims) throats just the way people slaughter goats," the resident added.
The terror group is apparently carrying out revenge attacks against locals who have aided Nigeria's military and have formed vigilante groups that have fought back against Boko Haram's raids. more >>
American charity Operation Blessing International has announced it's sending a team of aid workers with multiple chlorine generators and a shipping container full of critically needed hospital supplies to Liberia, one of the countries hardest hit by the Ebola outbreak.
The faith-based relief group is the latest to join in the fight against the deadly virus, which has killed over 3,400 people throughout West Africa, and has reached the United States.
"Chlorine is one of the most important tools in the fight against Ebola because it kills the virus on contact," OBI president Bill Horan explained in a press release. more >>

I am joining two tables (shipments and returns) and using group by to view totals for certain criteria. The two tables are related via shipment_id. this column is mostly unique, but contains a few duplicates because each shipment can contain more than one item that is also contained in the table.
I'm trying to count all the distinct shipments grouped by warehouse, seller, and size. count(distinct works great, but does not report correct information when used with group by if the range of items being grouped is significant.
The query below returns 7 shipments (added up) 4 returns (also added). While with the small amount of test data I have the return count is correct, there are in actuality 6 distinct shipments, not 7. With this query i'm basically looking at all shipments and joining return information if an item in the shipment has been returned.
select s.warehouse, s.seller, s.size,
count(distinct s.shipment_id) as total_shipments,
count(distinct r.shipment_id) as total_returns
from shipments s
left join returns r
on s.shipment_id = r.shipment_id
group by s.warehouse, s.seller, s.size
I'm concerned that the report I generate won't be entirely accurate. Is there a work around for this issue? I've seen similar issues, but none that really apply. I am using MYSQL
Thanks in advance for your help.

Name-squatter fails to flog @roma Twitter handle to City of Rome
Rome's authorities are totally uninterested in owning the Twitter account @Roma as their city's official voice in cyberspace, despite the council currently making do with the clunky @romacapitaleTW account instead. The current owner of the name, enterprising Spaniard Javier Castaño, is stuck with it for the time being, after his …
can't be bothered to say more
Rome city council is too busy to answer your call right now
We'll get back to you after our mid-morning breakfast break. Possibly.
Re: Rome city council is too busy to answer your call right now
To be fair, breakfast is the only thing fast in Italy (that, and the time between buying a Ducati and having to return to the garage): an espresso with a pasty, standing up at a bar, between home and work.
Seems more a lack of linguistic skill in the seller, to me. If an italian says 'Roma', there's a better than 50-50 chance he means AS Roma. The city in a political sense is both the capital community (with clear tourism-advertising interests) and the political capital; just like "Brussels" more often means "The EU council" than "the local government".
So why switch from a clear name to an ambiguous one, except if you'd already have happened to build up a large following? The length of the name doesn't matter, there's nobody that's typing it out.
Who the fuck cares?
Only twits use twitter.
Re: Who the fuck cares?
I guess you as you took the time to read the article and post a reply :)
Re: Who the fuck cares?
Apparently you care. Enough to post drivel, anyway.
Smelly ?
Surely he should have sold @Roma to a purveyor of perfume or soemthing ?
Re: Smelly ?
by which I mean "something". Probably shouldn't have drunk so much perfume at the weekend.
@roma, for all your 'lucky heather' needs
He's clearly not tried that hard to shift it, there several potential users of such a name.
I'll take it off his hands.
<UKIPViewOfTheWorld>I am sure an NGO defending a bunch of crooks from Romania would be more interested</UKIPViewOfTheWorld>
The city calls itself "Roma capitale" now... wihout stating it people wouldn't know...
The city of Rome spent a lot of cash to rebadge everything "Roma capitale" when the governemnt approved the bill with same name. It was intended to give the city some benefits to offset some perceived disadvantages of being the capital - but they thought it was sort of both a promotion and a name change, you know, if you say Rome without "capital" people may think you are speaking about Rome in Georgia or Minnesota... and if you write "capital" everywhere you feel more important. Probably they think DC after Washington means "De Capital", more or less how someone in Rome would pronounce it.... and wonder why London, Paris, etc. doesn't need to state they're the capitals...
Re: The city calls itself "Roma capitale" now... wihout stating it people wouldn't know...
"you know, if you say Rome without "capital" people may think you are speaking about Rome in Georgia or Minnesota..."
People? Americans, perhaps.
There's a maker of pasta that might be interested...
When in @Roma, do what the @Romans do. #YOLO
Cybersquatting is annoying.
Anyone interested?

Rubble Kings screens DOC NYC
November 19th, 2014 by Mr. C
Rubble Kings was a great documentary film on the state of gangs in NYC during the 1960s & 70s. It primarily focused on why they came to be, their rights of passage, & their savageness in the streets when someone, anyone who stepped on their turf who didn't have the same colors. Most gangs formed because of the social movement going on during those times of socio-economic upheaval and inequality. It was a way to protect themselves in their own neighborhood. Meanwhile, unfathomable amounts of gangs formed in the urban jungle across all boroughs of NYC. The scene didn't look too far fetched as depicted in the movie "The Warriors". Actually the film was tame compared to the battle cries of the real scenario. Some gangs that were noted in the film included the Savage Nomads, the Black Spades, Savage Skulls, The Harlem Turks, Dirty Ones, The Chockos, and the Seven Immortals to just name a few of the players. All would turn for the worse regarding turf wars as Martin Luther King Jr., Malcolm X, and John F. Kennedy were assassinated. Civil rights and the Vietnam war brought even more social & political unrest to the concrete slabs. The 1970s was a turbulent time in the streets of NYC. Heroin was being introduced to the streets and the zombies took over as well as the irrational fight between the inner city gangs. This was the time when the magic word of "urban renewal" took flight as modern NYC architect Robert Moses instituted a plan to create the Cross Bronx Expressway which unfortunately meant wiping out established homes, businesses, & hearts of the folks in the bronx. This was the infamous time when the bronx was in decay. Landlords would burn down their own buildings to try to collect insurance. The wealthy in the Bronx fled to the burbs. The city was just an urban wasteland. As you can imagine gangs would continue to flourish in order to just survive the day to day in this urban decay.
Documenting the nasty side of this chaos was just part of the story. Rubble Kings went on to inspire as one particular gang in the Bronx called The Ghetto Brothers looked beyond the infighting between all the gangs in NYC. They wanted to get more education and wanted to stop the drug epidemic. They fought political & social injustice. In the Ghetto Brother territories which spread beyond the Bronx, they made sure to push the pushers out. They tried to rehab the junkies in their area by looking after them 24×7 so they can go cold turkey off the dope. The Ghetto Brothers in turn tried to influence other gangs throughout NYC by promoting stop the violence as all gangs are one and that they should fight against society, the government, and the City instead of spending energy fighting themselves. This is exactly what the government wanted, the gangs to desecrate themselves. The peace treaty that the Ghetto Brothers would organize in the YMCA on Hoe Avenue in the Bronx amongst all leaders of the gangs in NYC would be a game changer going forward.
Another layer of bringing community together to heal was music! The Ghetto Brothers besides being the peacemakers, were talented jamming out as a band. They played latin funk and it really brought out the fun and sense of brother & sisterhood to ALL when they opened up the party to EVERYONE. Bring out your bongo or your favorite instrument and just jam out was their motto! The mastermind behind the peace sign in the Ghetto Brothers was founder 'Yellow' Benji Melendez. The muscle behind the clan was Karate Charlie from the Marines!
Afrika Bambaataa would also play a big part in the film as he eventually morphed the badass Black Spades gang into the Zulu Nation promoting peace, community, and Hip Hop. Bambaattaa had his part in using DJ'ing and block parties as he blended music into the new gang culture as a way to battle amongst each other using tunes instead of fists. A whole segment in the film gave props to Kool Herc and other DJs in uniting the community and using Hip Hop, though the term probably did not exist at that time, as an outlet instead of gang banging. The new battle cries would be in the form of b-boy'ing, graffiti, EMCing, and DJ'ing. These competitions against each others crew with dancing, rapping, DJ'ing and tagging art in public spaces would prove to be more productive as it formed a new culture! Grandmaster Caz,Flash,AJ amongst others were mentioned. DJ Red Alert and Jazzy Jay had a few talk back moments in the film as well.
Folks, if you get the chance, please see RUBBLE KINGS! It's an eye opener and just part of the history of New York City! Appreciate! Rubble King's screens today at DOC NYC at 5:20pm at the IFC Center on 6th ave.
As a note, another film which documents street gangs in the south bronx during the 1970s that is worth seing is 80 Blocks from Tiffany's. Rubble Kings and 80 Blocks from Tiffany's really brings the subject matter to context.

Hardy (2014) – DOC NYC
November 16th, 2014 by Mr. C
(Pro Boxer – Heather "The Heat" Hardy at DOC NYC – Bow Tie Cinemas in Chelsea)
Director: Natasha Verma
Film subject: Boxer – Heather 'The Heat' Hardy
Hardy was a documentary film that debuted at DOC NYC which screened at Bow Tie's Chelsea Cinemas. I limited myself to seeing 3 films at the Festival this year due to time constraints and monetary reasons. Suffice to say I picked 3 topics/subjects that I enjoy very much. The first film was on street art – Banksy Does New York. The 2nd film was on punk music – Salad Days: The birth of punk in the Nation's Capital, and last but not least a film on boxing – Hardy!
(L-Director/Natasha Verma,R-Heather Hardy at DOC NYC)
Hardy was a documentary that told the story of female boxer – Heather Hardy – born & bred in blue collar full of city of new york workers (sanitation,NYPD,FDNY) Gerritsen Beach, Brooklyn not very far from Coney Island,Brighton Beach, & the Manhattan Beach areas. Born to a 3rd generation Irish american family all raised on Gerritsen Beach, Hardy had a funny line in the movie when she said that she could spit anywhere on Gerritsen Beach and she would hit 3 of her cousins before the spit would hit the ground! The film started out with Heather jogging across the Brooklyn Bridge into the arms of the world famous Gleason's Gym in the DUMBO section of Brooklyn. Her first boxing trainer at Gleason's was WBO woman's champion Alicia Ashley until Alicia's trainer – her brother Devon Cormack took the reigns of Hardy's hardships in/out of the ring. You can see Hardy's passion, dedication, & drive in her eyes with boxing. Something just clicked in Heather when she had her first amateur bout which made her want to make this a fulltime profession. Maybe it was the intense competition between two people in the ring – part of it was the independence – some of it was the energy of the crowd, and a lot of it was the feeling she felt when she was able to slowly chop her opponent down between the ropes. She had big dreams of being the female version of Mike Tyson. Um, that's a pretty bold statement! Let's crawl before we shadowbox!
Director Natasha Verma shadowed Heather with her training, boxing career, and personal life during the filming. We soon found out that though the main draw of the doc was about a female boxer, the underlying story was really about a woman trying to find herself, find her soul. She had a tough life growing up and has had a traumatic experience in her adolescence that she still struggles with to this day. Hardy wanted more than to be just a housewife or house mom taking care of her child. She noted that there's nothing wrong with staying at home but it was obvious that she had bigger dreams for herself. After she separated from her husband – the drive in finding this something else would explode in her!
I really liked the character, the story, and the vibe of the subject matter at hand. Besides the boxing which I adore very much – it was the interactions that Heather had with her family, her daughter, sister, and trainer (turned boyfriend) that opened up her heart and vulnerabilities fpr everyone to see, not to mention the stress & struggles of a woman trying to get booked for a fight in a male dominated arena. The documentary reveals that many if not all boxing promoters require all boxers (maybe just the woman?) to sell a certain amount of tickets for that particular boxing event which you can imagine would influence the decision of that said promoter to put that fighter in the undercard or not. That sounds pretty darn crooked if you ask me! I guess I shouldn't be surprised with the cut throat boxing business. I found the dynamics of the relationship between Heather Hardy and her trainer to have so many layers of potential troubled waters that it made me fascinated. I mean dating your mentor/trainer who was so much older than yourself – adoring and falling in love with this person but also finding yourself being disciplined by the same man – it just sounds so damn hard to do. It really comes down to being able to separate the business from the personal and THIS business – professional boxing is not just any old storefront. So yeah, the relationship between student and trainer and in the big picture – the big boss fight promoter in this case Lou Dibella Entertainment really drew me into the film. The main objective for Heather was to get signed to a full time contract with Dibella as she goes through a few undercard fights with him to see how she does. Did I also mention that Hurricane Sandy on October 29th, 2012 would turn Gerritsen beach into one big recovery effort like many shore towns up and down New York & New Jersey.
(Boxing promoter – Lou Dibella)
After the screening Lou Dibella, Natasha Verma (director), and Heather Hardy were in attendance for a brief Q/A! See below video of the Q/A that we took at the event!
Heather's next fight is at BB King's Blues Club with Broadway Boxing/Lou Dibella Entertainment's undercard on December 3rd! See the movie to see how she made out with Dibella Entertainment! http://dbe1.com/popular-female-boxer-heather-hardy-subject-of-the-new-documentary-hardy-added-to-dibella-entertainments-next-broadway-boxing-event/
Do you want to take private/semi-private boxing or kickboxing classes with Heather Hardy? Go here for more info > http://www.heathertheheathardy.net/Schedule—Classes.html
Hardy the Documentary looks like it will be screening at the 2014 Shadow Box Film Festival in NYC coming in December – lookout for it!
After the film, Steve from Unseen Films and I crossed the street to grab lunch at Boston Market and Steve Farhood – famous boxing historian,analyst, and commentator on Showtime Boxing & ShoBox happened to be standing right behind us on the line. He was at the Hardy screening as well and said he really enjoyed the movie! We asked Farhood who were some of the competitive female boxers around nowadays, and he mentions a really good fighter from Germany that I can't remember for the life of me. We'll get back at him on social media to find out! He also was the one that reminded us of Heather's next fight at Broadway Boxing on December 3rd at BB King's. Maybe we'll see you at the fights!

DOC NYC November 13 – 20, 2014
November 13th, 2014 by chocko
If you love documentaries and live in the NYC area, then you are in the right place at the right time! The 5th Annual DOC NYC (America's largest documentary festival) is in full effect starting November 13 to November 20. DOC NYC will feature over 150 film and events including panels, workshops and Q&A's with filmmakers and special guests. Get your tickets and head over to either IFC Center, SVA Theatre or Bow Tie Chelsea Cinemas. Get those eyeballs ready because there's plenty to see!
The following are some reviews or a couple words on some DOC NYC films we've seen in advance. The first three movie reviews in this post are by our special guest writer, Ariela from Vegan in the Big Apple. She went to see Banksy Does New York, A Small Section Of The World and Back On Board: Greg Louganis. Chocko reviewed Still Dreaming and Meet The Patels. Keep it locked for more updates and DOC NYC reviews.
DIR: Chris Moukarbel
"Banksy Does New York" is a documentary about Banksy's month long residency in New York City. The first thing we find out, is that Banksy has no affiliation to the documentary.
Banksy, a British street artist, posted a photo a day on his website, without announcing the location of the piece. The documentary travels day by day to the various art that Banksy created throughout the city, interviewing Banksy fans, art critics and gallery owners. Many fans considered it a 31 day scavenger hunt. The film often follows two dog walkers, who are also known as Banksy Hunters (anyone trying to find Banksy's art, is considered a Banksy Hunter), who try finding Banksy's work by clues on Instagram and Twitter. Often, hoping they will find it before it was removed or before someone graffitied over it. Much of, if not the majority of, the film, shows the public's reactions to his work, both via interviews and via Twitter "tweets".
An interesting part of the film, is that we also get to see some of the people who helped preserve Banksy's work, such as the two lovely gentleman who own Zabars on the Upper West Side, as well as seeing some of the people who had "stolen" Banksy's work, to which they say "it wasn't reported missing, so it wasn't stolen".
This is a fun, light film, which also includes some New York history of street art. From Banksy's point of view "the outside is where art should live, amongst us, where it can act as a public service, promote debate, voice concerns and forge identities. Don't we want to live in a world made of art, not just decorated by it?"
DIR: Lesley Chilcott
"A Small Section of the World" is a very inspiring and moving documentary. It shows how a group of women in Costa Rica form a coffee growing collective, called ASOMOBI(Association of Organized Women of Biolley- the M because in Spanish women is mujeres) They build a place to make coffee, without knowing anything about growing coffee or having a business. They sold it to several people who told them it was awful. They connect with a local exporter, also a woman, who appreciates what they are trying to do, and appreciates their dedication, and gives them advice on firstly, how to actually grow coffee! You will be surprised to learn where coffee beans actually come from! Few know, even those who are coffee addicts. Through the help of this woman, they eventually become an international coffee company.
This film shows that anyone is capable of doing anything if you don't give up. They have been there for 17 years, it took them a long time and obstacles to get started but they were committed and kept at it, and thrived in the end.
DIR: Cheryl Furjanic
"Back on Board" is the story of 4-time- gold medal Olympian diver Greg Louganis. He's considered the greatest diver of all time with diving records yet to be beaten. He won his first gold medal at the age of 24. At the age of 26, he found out he was HIV positive and decided to still compete. While being a diver, he always felt that he didn't fit in, he didn't make friends, some having to do with jealousy, but much of that having to do with being gay. No one wanted to room with him. He later became one of the first openly gay men in sports,opening the world for other gay athletes. I was not familiar with Greg Louganis prior to watching this documentary. I noticed myself rooting for him throughout the movie. The documentary was inspiring and moving. The Nov 16 screening is sold out!
DIR: Hank Rogerson and Jilann Spitzmiller
This film is about the elderly, retired performers who reside at the Lillian Booth Actors Home in Englewood, New Jersey (not too far from Manhattan!), an assisted living facility that cares for retired entertainers and their family members. Young professional Broadway directors are brought into the picture to help prepare the elderly entertainers as they take on the challenge of performing the Shakespearean play, A Midsummer Night's Dream.
I loved this documentary! Some of the characters that you will come across from the sweet old grandmas to the rebel-loner types, will have you cheering them on as they rise above the limitations that come with old age. I enjoyed the stories of the old folks recalling their early days in entertainment and watching the movie made me think that you could certainly learn a thing or twenty from the elderly. The movie is about second chances, respecting your fellow human beings, taking on challenges and realizing that life is short. I highly recommend this film.
DIR: Geeta V. Patel and Ravi V. Patel
This is a highly entertaining and funny documentary about Ravi Patel, a first-generation Indian-American who is looking for his perfect mate. Lighthearted animation sequences are scattered throughout the film which starts off with perhaps a homage to "When Harry Met Sally" where Indian couples recall how they met and talk about their happy marriages. Ravi, the subject of the film is fast approaching 30, recently breaks up with his secret white girlfriend of 2 years and due to his parents' wishes and pressures of his Indian culture, sets out on a quest to find the perfect Indian bride.
Ravi's adventures include blind dates all across the country and Canada, looking for brides in India and attending a Patel matrimonial convention. All of this is captured on camera by his sister, Geeta. The film is not only hilarious but it's also an eye-opening look at Indian culture and customs. Ravi is fun to watch as well as his persistent, matchmaking parents. This is a film I cannot wait to see again.

Jimmy Wang Yu – the one armed files
November 12th, 2014 by Mr. C
(Jimmy Wong Yu pays respects to the audience as we give him an ovation!)
Last night we had the privilege of attending "An evening with Jimmy Wong Yu" held at the Walter Reade Theater on 65th Street which included a screening of The Master of the Flying Guillotine and a Q&A with the man himself after the movie. The event was basically a continuation on a failed punt return from last summer at The New York Asian Film Festival because of Wong Yu's visa issues. AND I can say this punt return was a total success leading to an unmolested touchdown! The Lifetime Achievement Award was handed over successfully to the guest of honor – thank you! Thanks to the folks at Subway Cinema for being persistent and being radical as always! We weren't able to make it to the reception but Chocko did manage to elbow check and rope a doped a few nerds to get ahead of the line at the end of the reception to get his Master of the Flying Guillotine DVD signed!
It was fun to revisit the film as it was many many years since I've seen it and it was in the english scrub a dub dub phase! I honestly had forgotten that it was directed by our guest of honor. With the balls to the wall fight choreography by the late great Lau Kar Leung and the manhua/manga style presentation of the characters, this was destined to be a midnight, grindhouse movie gem! I appreciated the original language mandarin version in 35mm format for the screening. The print itself was bluish hued and faded but you know what – like they always say, we love the imperfections, sounds, and character that film films create. The upbeat guitar and electro music soundtrack was pretty off the wall too! We caught Fab 5 Freddy in the audience nodding to the beat! We wanted to ask FAB if he had seen Master of the Flying Guillotine at one of the Grindhouse Theaters in Times Square back in the days, but FAB did the Yo! MTV Raps shuffle pretty darn quick after the Q/A!

(Team Subway Cinema – Grady Hendrix starts to cook the Wang Yu entrance to the audience!)
(The one armed bandit picks the winners of the Shout!Factory Jimmy Wang Yu box set!)
(Grady Shouts! out the names of the winners! It's not me!)
As much as how the film rocked with the crazy kung fu tournament and the blind monk assassin looking for revenge with his flying guillotine contraption, the Q&A session moderated by Grady Hendrix was even more fun! Grady danced and pranced and tried to lure in Wang Yu with questions regarding the Shaw Brothers, triads, the infamous Jackie Chan contract, and the Oliver Reed incident! And oh yeah, Wang Yu even performed a floating ring slight of hand trick to boot. Wait, I didn't mention that he reminded us that he can still jog at 71 years young even after his stroke in 2011! It was just a privilege to be able to see the man we've grown up watching in the wuxia and old school kung fu movies – totally come to life in person with his outrageous and no holds barred personality! Check out some of our videos below of the Q/A from that night. Enjoy!

Tour de Bronx
October 30th, 2014 by Mr. C
(My ride parked outside of the Banana Deli on 161st Street)
On Sunday October 26th, I biked the 25 mile leg of the Tour De Bronx! It's one of my favorite bike rides if not most favorite of the year eclipsing the NYC 5 borough bike ride, Tour de Brooklyn, & Tour de Queens. Not only is the ride free but the vibe and flow of the tour is just plain better than the rest. The rules are not strict as well. It's recommended that folks wear helmets but I've seen plenty of the young & not so young, dumb, & the cool – ride in the tour without much regards for their noggin' but hey that's their decision. The streets in the Bx were not closed to traffic but were manned by NYPD for the most part to let the riders flow through! The sun was out and the temperature was a nippy 60 at best with a decent amount of wind to keep things interesting at times. This year I decided to park my car a little bit closer to the Botanical Garden which is where the finish line was at. I left the 4 wheel cager in the Belmont section of the Bronx on Arthur Avenue right in front of the Madonia Bakery a few doors down from the famous Arthur Ave retail market. I loaded up with some freshly baked scones at the Madonia. These tasty morsels served as fuel during my rest stops! I unloaded my foldup bicycle and headed towards Yankee Stadium. 1st stop – the Banana deli on 161st Street! The Banana deli used to serve as a religious pre-stop for the Planet Chocko crew before going to Yankee games. Today, I go for the breakfast of champions – 2 eggs over easy on a roll with sausage! Next, I waddled over to the Bronx County Building, checked-in for the ride, & anxiously waited for that horn to blow at 10.40am! Bronx Borough President Ruben Diaz greeted the 6000+ cyclists and off we went!
(Check-in at the Bronx County Building)
The bike ride itself was great fun! I was pretty impressed with my Dahon folding bicycle and the way she handled the urban terrain! I had the bike since 2001 mainly riding in NJ parks and paved paths. This is the first time that I've taken it out of its domain besides a few manhanttan runs. As for the tour, there were a few bottlenecks and choke points mainly at entrances into the greenways but in no time the bottleneck turned into a KRS – BDP posse freestyle in da Bronx! We were definitely boom-bapin' through beautiful urban landscapes, zagging through crotona park, styling and profiling through the greenway paths along the Bronx River Parkway, paid respects while touring St. Raymond's Cemetary, and stepped into a World of Bx neighborhoods along the waterfront! We were offered bagels with cream cheese, water, energy bars, & juice throughout the 3 rest stops. At the final resting point at the Botanical Gardens we were greeted with pizza and a free t-shirt for those participating in the ride! Right on! I love this ride! Can't wait to do it all again next year. Maybe we'll try the 40 mile trek next year!

Welling Court Mural Project – take 1 (2014 Open House New York)
October 12th, 2014 by Mr. C
Though it was part of the Open House New York offerings this past weekend – a great weekend when all 5 boroughs of NYC opens up its doors to many of its establishments,events,landmarks, and businesses in order to celebrate the city – The Welling Court Mural Project in Astoria, Queens has opened up it's "outdoors" for 5 years strong now – providing beautiful artwork on display on its concrete walls 24 hours a day, 7 days a week! The Welling Court Mural Project is a collection of local and international street artists whose sole mission is to unify,celebrate,beautify, and provide hope to their community. The network of all star aerosol artists mashes up a mix of old school legendary artists with up and coming young guns as well as a blend of talented writers from abroad. I honestly didn't find out about this Astoria Queens collective until a few months ago, mostly being overshadowed by the late great & defunct 5 Pointz and the similiar street art community in Brooklyn – The Bushwick Collective.
Earlier today, we strolled through the Welling Court Mural surroundings and was astonished at how creative and gorgeous some of the pieces on the wall and metal shutters were! Familiar artists like Cern,Too Fly,Lady Pink,Fumero,Mr Prvrt to just name a few, really adorned the neighborhood with pieces of eye candy on the concrete slabs to celebrate street culture at its finest! Below are a few photos we took from Welling Court and the surrounding neighborhood in Astoria. Enjoy! Also, if you end up stopping by to check out the murals in person, a really good cafe in the area to hang out and just ponder over with the out of sight graffiti that you just witnessed is the Astor Bake Shop on Astoria Boulevard. Really good coffee and delightful pastries! I loved the almond croissant!

Hackensack Street Fair – performances by Average White Band & African drumming-dancing
September 28th, 2014 by Mr. C
Lately, I've been looking for more & more excuses to stay on the Jersey side of the hudson river due to time contraints and in general just trying to take advantage of some events we easily dismiss in the Garden State. Yesterday 9/27 Saturday gave me a good opportunity to not exercise my old EZPASS toll thingama-jingy' because of a local street fair headlined by the live tunes of funk/R&B/Soul by way of the Average White Band! Average they are NOT! At first the band's name didn't ring a bell but as I listen to some of their old hits from the 70s, I was like oh crap! Everyone has got to have heard "Pick up the pieces" at one point in their life as well as "Cut the Cake". Quite a few hip hop/rap groups have also sampled a tune or two from the Average White Band arsenal! My jaw dropped when I heard "Schoolboy Crush". Pretty impressive!
(Alex Gorrie – bass/vocals original member of AWB)
(Brent Carter – brought the vocals!)
It sounds like AWB has gone through a few reincarnations and iterations of band members. The bass player/vocals – Alan Gorrie is the only common denominator from the original crew to the present. All original band members or not, the Average White Band that I saw at the Hackensack Street Fair sounded pretty damn good! The band melded together and in sync like they have been playing together for years. Guitarist David Spinnoza who has worked with the Beatles, James Taylor, Paul Simon, & others was a hired gun for the tour. The vocals from Brent Carter was amazing especially when he reached deep for that falsetto! Some of my favorite performances from their set at the street fair included Marvin Gaye's – I want you, Pick up the Pieces, Oh Maceo, & The Isley Brothers' – Work to do. Original band member Alan Gorrie gave a shoutout to The Isley Brothers and their own record label T-Neck (Teaneck) records which is a neighboring town by Hackensack. I've included the setlist below and some videos of their performance. Enjoy!
I had a good time strolling through the street fair as local vendors from the town opened up shop on the sidewalk. Food was the only thing on my mind and latin food was well represented in the fair as well as a few asian choices. Wondee's, an authentic Thai restaurant on the block for years had a small stall for their excellent drinks like their delightful Thai Iced Tea. Morton's Steak house had a setup going offering gourmet sliders.
Another fun performance from the day included the African drum and dance routine. Have a look see at some of the African percussions and soulful dancing! Visit the Center for Modern Dance Education at 84 Euclid Avenue Hackensack,NJ 07601.
(Audience participation – learning African dance)
New Jersey senator and former mayor of Newark was also roaming around the premises to meet and greet people as well as endorse Hackensack resident Roy Cho in running for Congress.
Hackensack residents unite! Johnson Public library on main street needs your help! Please head into the libary and sign the petition to help save the library from getting drastic budget cuts. The Johnson Public Library had a $2 fill a bag with books specials.

CBGB Music and Film Festival
September 23rd, 2014 by chocko
The CBGB Music And Film Festival 2014 will take place in New York City from October 8 through 12. I went last year and checked out a few events during my limited schedule at the time. Blank Generation was being screened at Anthology Film Archives with director Ivan Kral in the house. The black and white, diy movie featured Ivan's home movies which followed the early punk scene in New York City. Bands such as The Ramones, Talking Heads and Blondie are featured on and off stage while old band demos and rare recordings provide the audio backdrop to the whole documentary. It is an interesting slice of history but don't expect a narrative or any mind blowing commentary. Definitely check it out for the old school NYC bands, clubs and music from an era long gone. The black and white photos above and below were stills taken from the movie screen. The photos feature some important bands that originally played at CBGB and blazed a trail for all bands to later follow. The Ramones are in the photo above. Below are The Heartbreakers featuring from left to right: Johnny Thunders, Richard Hell and Walter Lure. Also pictured below are David Byrne of Talking Heads and Deborah Harry of Blondie.

I checked out the debut of the band, Pink Slips at Pianos in the Lower East Side. The band features Jamie Brooks and Duff McKagan's (GUNS N' ROSES) 16-year-old daughter Grace McKagan. They performed acoustic covers from some of their favorite musicians such as Amy Winehouse, First Aid Kit and Death Cab For Cutie. They ended their set with a Grimes cover of "Oblivion" with Duff joining in on guitar. Check out the video of that song below. Nowadays the band features Grace with a more aggressive attitude and punk vocals (I think somebody got inspired at CBGB Fest!) and a bunch of dudes backing her up. Come back to NYC!
This highlight of the festival was the free Times Square event which featured two stages of music. Vendors such as downtown record store Other Music and food trucks lined the street and tourists and music fans rubbed elbows as bands such as My Morning Jacket and Grizzly Bear rocked out. James Murphy (LCD Soundsystem) spun some tunes during his DJ set that got the booties gyrating. Pictured above are some of the actual walls of the sacred landmark that was CBGB. Check out the untouched graffiti scrawlings and flyers! Times Square was the place to be…artists also collaborated to create murals and skateboarders did their thing on a half pipe built for the special occasion. More photos below!

11th Annual Indian Larry Grease Monkey Block Party
September 21st, 2014 by Mr. C
Indian Larry's Legacy Shop 400 Union Ave South Williamsburg, Brooklyn NYC
Indian Larry was a legendary motorcycle builder influenced by 1950s & 1960s style choppers, hot rods, & hot rod art & its sub culture. Some aesthetics of his old school choppers included small gas tanks, no front fenders or front brakes, ape hanger handlebars, suicide clutches, modern tech in engine mechanics, & what initially sucked me into Indian Larry's bikes was his sick – signature TWISTED downtube motorcycle frame that he designed and built. Yes, twisted metal for the downtube on the frame! If you look at Ed Roth's Rat Fink art, you can clearly see Indian Larry's monster hot rod choppers come to life.
Indian Larry built motorcycles
Indian Larry lived life fast, hard, & furious and unfortunately he was taken away from us too soon in 2004 while performing a stunt on his motorcycle. The Indian Larry legacy lives on with his compatriots at Indian Larry's Legacy motorcycle shop in Brooklyn. Fast forward 10 years later and today Sept 20th – Saturday, we still celebrate & appreciate Larry for his passion with the motorcycle culture. 9/20/14 marked the 11th Annual Indian Larry grease monkey block party! Hot dogs or hamburgers for $5 with a drink, Donuts from Brooklyn's own Dough, live music by Sea Monster, Wrench, Judas Priestess, Scrapers, & Big House Pete and of course a bike show competition. Face painting for the kids and plenty of vendors for your motorcycle accessory needs! I couldn't stay for the whole event but I did soak in the beautiful custom motorcycles on hand and the familiar sounds of Sea Monster! And yes that donut from Dough Brooklyn was deelish!

Buzzcocks played Webster Hall
September 20th, 2014 by chocko
Buzzcocks at Webster Hall – 09.06.14
Titus Andronicus
U.K. punk vets BUZZCOCKS rocked a furious set at Webster Hall in New York City. They scheduled shows around their Riot Fest appearances and this time around we got to see them with scrappy Jersey punks, Titus Andronicus opening up the evening. When the Buzzcocks hit the stage the first thing you notice is Pete Shelley rocking a beard looking more like an English professor than a legendary punk rocker. He sounded amazing along with guitarist Steve Diggle provided the relentless energy that got the crowd pumped up and dancing. They played a bunch of new songs off their brand new album THE WAY which is still not available in the United States. The encore was fantastic…Diggle took the lead vocals on "Harmony In My Head" then Shelley closed the night with "Ever Fallen In Love" and "Orgasm Addict." The Buzzcocks will be back in the U.K. in October for a tour with The Dollyrots. Check out a photo of the set list below and some videos I recorded from the show at Webster Hall.

An Interview with Dasic Fernandez
September 3rd, 2014 by chocko
I was wandering the Bushwick Collective in Brooklyn recently with Ariela of the blog Vegan In The Big Apple and Joey Teacups. While checking out some of the street art in the neighborhood and taking photos, we came across the Chilean born artist, Danic Fernandez who just finished an amazing mural that will hopefully be up for a long time. A huge thanks to Dasic for taking the time out to talk to us and answer our questions.
Tell us a little bit about this brand new piece on Troutman Street and Wyckoff Avenue. How long did it take you to do?
I just finished it yesterday morning and been working on it for four days with some friends around. I had some people help me with the ladders and stuff, but I did it all by myself.
How did you get into street art and graffiti?
When I was a kid, thirteen or fourteen years old, I got into graffiti through hip hop culture. I was very involved, so my way to contribute to the culture was through graffiti and emceeing. I tried to dance a little bit too, but graffiti was my thing.
Do you tend to work on pieces with a political message?
Sometimes, I think everything that we create is political. When you're creating something, you're always leaving a statement behind no matter what you're doing. Some are more evident than other ones, probably.
What is your statement on this latest piece and does it have a name?
This is called "Hand of Protest." I always like to leave it open for people. It talks about all the different struggles and fights around the world in different neighborhoods, different countries, and different cultures.
How did you choose the colors?
I'm always trying to put the colors together in harmony. It's like a composition of color where every color has a place to be.
Do you plan to collaborate with other artists?
If there is a chance to do it, then yes why not? Pretty much, I just paint with my crew who are graffiti artists who write pieces and burners. Most of the time I paint by myself.
Does somebody commission you guys to paint?
The guys from Bushwick Collective, the community organizers here put the stuff together to get the walls, permits and supplies. They invited me to paint the wall. They showed me some walls around, so I'm probably going to be painting other walls here.
How often do they change the walls?
I think the one before was up for two years. Hopefully, it will be up for a year for the people to appreciate it. New York is not an easy place to get walls. I get used to having my murals painted over.
Do you have any closing comments?
Enjoy it and take your time to take a look at it. Check out my instagram! @dasicfernandez

DRC: MSF reinforces response to DRC Ebola outbreak in Boende
Printer-friendly versionPDF version
News Source : DRC: MSF reinforces response to DRC Ebola outbreak in Boende
The lead teams from Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) who arrived in the Boende health zone, in Republic democratic of Congo (DRC) 10 days ago were bolstered on Wednesday of this week by the arrival of 17 specialists, including doctors, nurses, logisticians, pharmacists, and hygiene and sanitation specialists. In the next few days, this team will have as its primary mission the establishment of a treatment centre for patients presenting with symptoms of Ebola; it will also do outreach activities in the community. A total of 13 tonnes of equipment has already been shipped to Boende, and another 15 tonnes will be shipped within the next few days. However, MSF is concerned that there is still no mobile lab available.
Audrey St-Arnaud
The treatment centre for Ebola patients will be set up in Lokolia, the epicentre of the epidemic. This is a special operation, because this centre must have available to it all possible means for controlling transmission of the disease. Jeroen Beijnsberger, a MSF medical coordinator, explains that a treatment centre is organized based on a specific circuit that is designed to avoid any risk that the disease will escape to the outside. "Everything is strictly controlled. Whatever comes into the zone cannot leave, and this requires a substantial amount of logistical means," he says.
A mobile laboratory is needed
However, MSF is concerned that the site still does not have a mobile lab. "We have made several contacts in the past few days to try and locate a mobile laboratory, but at present, no one has been able to help us. This is a very serious problem for us", explains Jeroen Beijnsberger. A mobile laboratory is needed to enable doctors to confirm or eliminate the presence of Ebola in the blood of suspected patients within a few hours; this allows patients who are not infected to quickly leave the treatment centre and thereby avoid any risk of contamination. Without this type of laboratory, suspected patients have to be kept in the treatment centre for several days, with the end result being that the entire MSF facility could potentially become gridlocked and overcrowded with large numbers of patients. "We call upon all players to work together to quickly find a solution. This is now our priority", stresses Jeroen Beijnsberger.
Educational activities
Lastly, educational activities are extremely important, right from the start of the operation. "We need everyone in the community to understand the importance of going to the treatment centre just as soon as symptoms appear. It's crucial for patients and for their loved ones." Personalised medical treatment can help the person fight the virus and improve his or her chances of a cure: "Here, we provide medical care and medications, we rehydrate the patients and we feed them. It's critical that the body be sufficiently strong, in order to fight the virus." It is also the only way to protect the patient's family and close relatives from possible contamination.
