The National Hospital Insurance Fund has now terminated its contracts with Meridian and Clinix . NHIF has circulated a list of new facilities excluding the two companies for the controversial medical insurance scheme for civil servants and military personnel . NHIF had engaged both Clinix and Meridian on a pilot basis for one year starting in February this year.
In the new list seen by the Star, NHIF excluded Clinix and Meridian saying the two are under investigation and asked members to choose alternatives.The new list includes several government, private and mission hospitals across the country.
A senior NHIF official said yesterday that they would publish the list in the newspapers. "What you may have seen is not conclusive and authoritative. As early as next week, we will give you the new list of service providers," said the manager.
"Members are advised to continue accessing OPC services in the currently capitated facilities for the next one month. However, for those who are currently accessing outpatient healthcare services at Meridian and Clinix, they are directed to seek healthcare in any of the facilities listed," the list sent to government ministries reads in part. The Union of Kenya Civil Servants has already raised a red flag over the new list accusing NHIF of not following the law.
NHIF was supposed to advertise the tender and pre-qualify health providers, before publishing pre-qualified facilities for civil servants to choose from. "It has come to our notice that the period for choosing has commenced and the list of health-care providers and their facilities will be advertised in due coarse," UKSC Executive director Wilson Asingo wrote to NHIF on June 8.
The union warned that existing provider contracts cannot be cancelled. "Our members are desirous that all facilities that are currently are in your panel are included. Currently our members in Nairobi are being served by the two private providers namely Clinix and Meridian. It is therefore of utmost importance that all accredited branches of the two main providers named above be included in the list to be published in the dailies alongside all the others," Asingo's letter adds.
Meridian and Clinix were probed by the parliamentary Health committee led by Nyaribari Chache MP Robert Monda. The committee has recommended that ministers Dalmas Otieno and Anyang Nyong'o be investigated by Ethics and Anti Corruption Commission.
The committee also recommended that Attorney General Githu Muigai reports to Parliament within three months on the identity of the shareholders and directors of both Clinix and Meridian.
The scheme started in June 2010 when NHIF carried out an out-patient pilot study for the rollout of the national out-patient scheme in January 2011. The report is still in Parliament. The pilot was supposed to be carried out in Nairobi and Mumias with 200,000 participants from various companies and parastatals.
The project was initiated by an advertised open tender where Clinix, Meridian, Thika Nursing Home and Mumias Clinic were pre-qualified as private outpatient providers. However Cotu blocked the increment in NHIF contributions to finance the extra outpatient burden so the pilot project did not take off.
In September 2011, the Public Service ministry advertised the civil servants insurance medical scheme to provide both in and out-patient cover for about 900,000 members and dependents.
However, allegations that ghost facilities received payments led to the suspension of the entire NHIF board. MPs are yet to debate the report of the probe committee.

PROVO — In court documents filed ahead of Dr. Martin MacNeill's high-profile murder trial, Utah County prosecutors are asking a judge to ban TV cameras from the courtroom.
A motion filed by the Utah County Attorney's Office asks a judge to prohibit filming of the trial, alleging it could endanger inmate witnesses who would testify that MacNeill had confessed to killing his wife, Michele, in 2007.
"This inmate witness will testify that the Defendant admitted to killing his wife, how and why he killed her, that the Defendant believed authorities could not prove he killed his wife, and that the Defendant looked forward to being with a girlfriend when he was released from prison," prosecutor Chad Grunander wrote in the motion.
Another inmate believed he would be a "dead man," if his face were to be broadcast on television, prosecutors wrote.
The case against Dr. MacNeill has drawn national media attention that has only intensified as it has moved closer to trial. Television magazine shows have devoted hours to the case of the Utah County doctor accused of killing his wife so he could be with his mistress.
Utah recently adopted a rule allowing TV cameras inside courtrooms, carving into it a presumption of openness. TruTV has expressed an interest in broadcasting portions of the trial, according to a court motion filed by an attorney for CNN.
"Prohibiting the television cameras is not going to solve the harm the state is alleging," said Jeff Hunt, a media attorney who is representing CNN in this case. "The identity of these prison witnesses is well know, it's plastered all over public records, it's in the public domain. All banning television cameras will do is prohibit the public from actually seeing and hearing what happens in a courtroom."
MacNeill's trial is expected to last more than a month when it begins on Oct. 15. Prosecutors claim MacNeill drugged and drowned his wife in a bathtub inside their home, so he could continue an affair with a woman.
But in a new filing, defense attorneys offered an alibi for MacNeill: he was at work.
"At the time Michele MacNeill passed away, Martin MacNeill was at the Utah State Developmental Center," defense attorney Randall Spencer wrote in a motion.
The alibi defense claims that MacNeill went to work between 6 a.m. and 7 a.m. on April 11, 2007 — leaving only to take his daughters to school and was back at work at 9 a.m. He left the Utah State Developmental Center again at 11:30 to pick up one of his daughters.
Defense attorneys claim witnesses can corroborate MacNeill's alibi, but Greg Skordas, a criminal defense attorney who is not connected to the case, said they can be risky. Unlike reasonable doubt, which challenges the burden of proof the state offers — an alibi offers a completely different theory of the case.
"The risk is that the jury will say, 'the state's case is more believable. We like the state's case, and defense you haven't put on a good case and therefore we don't have much doubt about the state's evidence,'" Skordas told FOX 13. "We'll wait and see what the defense case holds, but that's the risk you run when, as a defense attorney, you say, 'Oh no, no, the state's got it wrong. Here's what really happened.'"
MacNeill's trial is expected to begin on Oct. 15 and last more than a month.

About Us
The mission of EcoBenin is ensuring better living standards of communities at local and national level through ecotourism and eco-development promotion as a sustainable management of natural resources. The Benin Ecotourism Concern (ECO-BENIN NGO) was created in 1999 as a working group for nature promotion in Benin through ecotourism to establish and maintain good working relationship between local and international non governmental organisations, regional and international wildlife societies, travel industries, and other relevant bodies.
Sustainability Practices
All the ecotourism services are conducted by local communities so that the profit from ecotourism goes to the local inhabitants. Environmental education activities are being conducting in the schools of the riparian villages. Mangroves trees are being planted by tourists and villagers as a carbon offset activity. A cook stooves project is being set up around the Pendjari National Park. The tours have been set up to educate villagers in nature conservation and local culture respect. We work in Ramsar areas and around national parks. Waste management program is being run in several riparian villages.
Nature Protection: nature conservation activities are conducted in villages with a great emphasis on threatened species such as monkeys, birds, fishes.
Environmental aspects: ecotourism rules are developed and tourists are sensitised. Each tour has capacity of load. carbon offset projects are developped.
Cultural aspects: traditional nature conservation measures have been revitalized and integrated to tours to promote respect to local traditions and culture.
Social economic aspects: local employment and development, supporting providing for villagers activities such as non conventional rearing (rabbit, snail, aulocode) and garden products producing, fish breeding.
Education and Information: visitors' information center, guided tours

Kigali — Rwanda has been listed among the 20 countries with an abundance of minerals in sub-Saharan Africa.
According to 'Data Mining in Africa Country Investment Guide 2014', 'Such minerals bring in more income to the country if exported'.
The report shows that Rwanda has plenty of untapped mineral wealth and could earn considerable revenue by developing gthis sector.
Latest figures provided by the government state that the country earned $196.3 million during the first three quarters of 2013.
This report that was complied by Singapore based research body Global Reports and was featured during the annual conference on African Mining which took place in early February 2013 in Cape Town, South Africa.
This report states that growth in mineral exports was due to an increase in Coltan exports of 161% and that of Wolfram which was at 7 per cent. Cassiterite exports rose by 13%.Cassiterite is used in making tin. It was and still is used for making tin cans for food storage. It is also used in polishing compounds.
Wolfram or tunsgsten is vital for incandescent light bulb filaments, X-ray tubes and superalloys.
According to the report, 'Coltan benefitted from an increase in price per kilogramme which contributed to an overall increase of its value to $121.3million'.
Wolfram contributed a 7.4 per cent hence brought in $24million whereas Cassiterite brought in $50.5 million because of a value increase of 13% and therefore a 9.7 increase in price per kg. To date, Rwanda has three minerals which are predominantly mined and traded in the country, these being Cassiterite, Woltramite, Colombo- tantalite and some gold.
This report indicated that the government had set different strategies which can help bring in more international investors and help it develop the sector.

Richmond, VA got no Korn love
Richmond, VA... that's the city I live in... and dear god what the hell?! There are like NO KORN FANS AT ALL here! Occasionally I'll bump into someone that'll say "oh, I liked their old stuff, but their new stuff isn't all that great."
If anyone around the area can see this blog... please... say something... I feel like an outcast here (probably why I listen to Korn in the first place... heh).
The only slight ray of hope I got was bumping into someone who happened to be listening to Path of Totality, but they're more of a Skrillex/Dubstep fan and really don't listen to Korn all that much.
Does no one in this area have Korn at the top of their list like I do?! :(
I got a friend of mine who lives in london. They actually have an alternative metal club in town that people frequent. I'm like "REALLY? You won't find an alternative metal club to go to around here at all!" About all I'll see, at least in richmond, is country, pop, watered-down radio hip-hop, and 80s music. Occasionally the DJ's think they're being edgy with 1 or 2 dubstep tracks from Skrillex.
If there was an alternative metal place to go in Richmond, I'd totally go!
I think I am the only person in Wales to have heard of KORN, & I must admit there old school stuff was shit! They were just fucked up kids on all sorts of drugs & booze. I found them when they released "Follow the leader", even though I got there old albums, I have only played them a few times. Even though they are all dads now, I am a bit worried about there new album will still have what KORN once had, Hope the passion will still be there. X- FINGERS.=)
Your not alone, where I live, koRn is ethier evil, not known, or just all right. I surely do not get it!
I have had an excellent experience in introducing my girl to koRn, she loves them, eager to learn everything to know, and is going to go see them with me in August!
I hope in the future I have many more experiences like this, the feeling is great, when you have someone in your life who shares the same passion, love for koRn, shoulder to shoulder. :)

After using the potty trainer a while, Chas decides to graduate Chuckie to the toilet, using the Big Boy Potty Training Seat. But after noticing that Spike is using the tree to "do his business", Chuckie decides to follow suit, but Didi insists that Chuckie uses the toilet. At this point, Tommy thinks the rules have changed regarding the use of the tree as a "rest area". Therefore, the Rugrats decide to teach Spike to "relieve himself" the way humans do, first by using a diaper on Spike, then by having him use a toilet. As for Chuckie, he's afraid to go himself while everyone else is looking at him.

High Level Global Attention to Maternal and Child Nutrition
By Asma Lateef on September 23, 2011
© 1,000 Days Blog
Asma Lateef is the Director of Bread for the World Institute.
Though there's been progress, more than 3 million children die needlessly every year due to malnutrition. Better nutrition in the 1,000 days window—between pregnancy and a child's second birthday—is an achievable, cost-effective way to bring those numbers down and spare survivors lifelong disabilities.
This week, two important events marked the one-year anniversary of a new international effort to do just that: the Scaling Up Nutrition (SUN) movement and the 1,000 Days Partnership (which focuses on jump-starting the initiative in its first 1,000 days). On Tuesday, September 20, a High Level Meeting on Nutrition during the United Nations General Assembly celebrated the progress that has been made over the last 364 days and strongly reaffirmed global commitment to scaling up nutrition over the next 636 days.
On Wednesday, September 21, there was a full-day workshop to learn from the experiences of the countries that came forward in the first year of the effort to commit to scaling up nutrition. Each country was represented by a delegation that included key government officials; many delegations also had civil society representatives. The very rich presentations of the country delegations and panelists drew out some early learnings and challenges that will guide members of the SUN Transition Team and Task Forces for the next 636 days.
A year of important progress:
The compelling message of the SUN movement that the first 1,000 days are critical—a time when investing in a baby's nutrition is also investing in his or her lifelong health, development, and productivity—is now being heard and acted upon. Josette Sheeran, executive director of the World Food Program, observed that the SUN Movement "is now moving from vision to execution and results."
U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton, who along with the Irish Foreign Minister launched the 1,000 Days Partnership last year, called the SUN Movement a model of aid effectiveness. "Through the SUN movement," Clinton said, "we are seeing better results with country-owned leadership. When programs are coordinated and evidence-based, we get better outcomes."
Key learnings from the two days:
• The international community should rally around a specific shared nutrition goal—to boost advocacy efforts, build partnerships, and hold all stakeholders accountable—and strengthen data and tracking systems.
• Leadership matters at the country level and at the international level. Countries that have moved quickly to put plans into action have strong leadership and coordination mechanisms at the highest levels of government.
• Nutrition champions can help build political will. The former president of Cape Verde has become a regional nutrition leader—engaging West African leaders on the importance of prioritizing nutrition.
• Funding levels fall far short of the need and must be dramatically increased.
• Civil society can be a vibrant force for change and should be actively involved in developing, implementing, and monitoring nutrition programs.
• Sustained progress will require a multisectoral and multistakeholder approach that includes prioritizing nutrition in agriculture, health, education, and social protection programs and partnering with the private sector.

Dr. Jennifer Wyman's Ratings
Dr. Wyman has been my physician for over a decade. She is not only extremely professional, but compassionate, and extremely hard working. She has spent time after hours calling and discussing test results, for example. She is part of an exceptional practice in mid-town Toronto. I am fortunate to have her as my physician. If you are ill, one of the docs will see you the same day, over the lunch hour. I highly recommend this doc and her team.

Dr. Wyman is a priceless gift. She is always respectful of her patients needs and has gone above and beyond our expectations. During several medical crises, she has called us at home and hospital to enquire about our health. We feel safe in her care.

Dr. Wyman is a great Dr. She asks all the right questions and you can tell that she sincerely cares about your overall well being! If I could give a rating higher than 5 I would! She is that good. She has helped me immensely and found a condition that not every doctor would detect!
Was this rating useful? 0 [[ userState['ratings'][1688453].votes_count ]]
It is extremely difficult to get an appointment. If you are seriously sick it could be 8-10 weeks at a minimum to get an appointment. Staff are always busy and do not follow up. I have called 6 times and they are "too busy" and actually state to patients "call back later, we are too busy". When you are a Senior Vice President of a large corporation, you do not have time to call 8 times to speak to someone or book an appointment for something serious 3 months later. It is very frustrating. They will not even take my name to have the doctor call me.

VIDEO: Willow Shields and filming Catching Fire
Primrose Everdeen is one of the core characters in The Hunger Games who will be seen across all four movies. Willow Shields, who plays Prim says she's excited that there is three more films to go, s that she can grow with her character. She explains which scene she's most looking forward to in Catching Fire
"It's a scene where Haymitch, Peeta and I are sitting around in our new house and we're stuffing our faces with candy and making fun of Katniss, and I just think it would be a really fun scene to do because we're just goofing around and having fun," Shields said. "And although Katniss gets mad at us, we're still having fun, so it would be a fun scene to shoot plus I would be able to shoot a scene with Josh and Woody Harrelson, so that would be really fun."
"I'm excited to grow up with Prim's character, because, you know, I have basically three more movies, but I'm going to be 15 or 16 by the end, but I started off when I was 10," she said. "So it's going to be really interesting to go start to finish and just to see what a difference my acting has become, and just growing up with that character is going to be really fun."

Aww! I know that she is my age, but she seems so sweet! I can't wait to see how sh builds up her character as Prim, since in the book Katniss said, when she is in District 13, that she seemed much older than she really was, and was very mature.
i remember that part!! can't wait 2 c it !!
Yay! I wanted that part in the movie so badly! One of my many dreams has come true! 😉
Wait…. FOUR movies?????
I love Willow, she's so talened and mature and smart and beautiful. Keep on being awesome, Willow!

LeAnn Rimes Says She Wants A Baby Of Her Own
LeAnn Rimes may be considering expanding her family with husband Eddie Cibrian. During a recent interview with People, Rimes said she'd like to add a daughter to join her two stepsons and dogs.
"Testosterone is all around here, so I need a little girl! We have a lot on our plates," she told the mag. "But whenever I talk about kids, I'm like, 'Let's have one!' I have a lot of work to do now but I'm totally ready if it happens."
She adds that in the beginning it was a rough road for the couple, who both broke off previous marriages after falling in love:
"I felt like my life was falling apart," Rimes confesses. "But now I feel settled. I'm proud of our great family. Eddie is an amazing father and I love my stepsons."

On June 22, 1941 when Germany attacked the Soviet Union, her Panzer divisions were to play a major role in this titanic struggle. At its peak, 19 out of the 21 existing Panzer Divisions were deployed against the Soviets. Although overwhelmed by Soviet numbers, the superior skill and capability of the German Panzer divisions meant that in three months the Germans, with the Panzers as their spearhead had advanced deep into Soviet territory, inflicting terrible losses on the Soviets. However, after these initial successes the German offensive began to falter, culminating in the disastrous defeat at Kursk.In this book, the organizational history of the Panzer divisions is covered, from the early successes of 1941 through to the dramatic re-organization of the Panzer Divisions and the introduction of revised Blitzkrieg tactics as the war began to turn and the Panzer divisions experienced their first taste of defeat. Pier Paolo Battistellii examines the impact of the introduction of the Panther tank shortly before the final failure at Kursk, and goes on to explain the evolution of German armored doctrine, tactics and the command system, providing a detailed overview of the major combat actions of the Panzer Divisions on the Eastern Front.
"Part of Osprey's Battle Orders series, this is a very informative book, showing that the author has done a considerable amount of research into the material." – Thomas Houlihan, World War II Database (September 2009)

There are many useful scrubs that can remove extra oil from the surface of your face. Here are a few simple and light scrubs that are easy to make and convenient to apply. [Read: How to Take Care of Your Skin in Winters]
Home Made Remedies for Oily Skin
Almond- Honey Scrub
Grind the almonds and mix with honey, apply the paste gently on the face without rubbing it. Use a hot washcloth for this purpose. Let it stay there for some time and then rinse properly.
Oatmeal and Aloe Vera Scrub
Grind the oats and mix with aloe vera. Apply the paste on the skin and let it stay there for about 15-20 minutes. Wash the face and dry it by blotting.
How to Use Turmeric Powder on Face to Improve Skin
Please avoid applying a scrub if you have acne on the face. As the acne irritates the skin the scrub may further enhance the problem.
Clay Masque / Fuller's Earth Masque
Skin oil can be decreased with the use of masques. You can get the clay or Fuller's Earth from any pharmacy and make a paste by mixing it with water. Apply this paste on the face and leave it for about 20-25 minutes. Rinse the face thoroughly.
Read: Skin Care With Natural Ingredients
Abrasive Work
Add half teaspoon of baking soda in liquid soap and rub it softly on the oily surfaces of the face like nose and chin. Apart from removing extra oil this will cure the blackheads also. Wash the face with cool water.
You can use white or apple cider vinegar to obtain same effects. Take a cotton ball and apply the ingredient before going to bed. Let it stay there for about 15 minutes and then wash it with cool water. Continue this treatment for about three weeks to achieve success. A person with an over-sensitive skin may dilute the vinegar with water. During summer season keep the vinegar in freezer to cool it or freeze it into small cubes. This will work nicely as a cooling facial.
Cornstarch and Salt
Cornstarch is very effective for drying up the extra oil. Make a paste by mixing about 3 tablespoons of cornstarch with water. Apply the paste on the face and keep it there for some time to dry. Wash off the face with warm water. Apply this once in a day.
Salt dries up the skin rapidly. This is the reason why people living on the sea shore experience dryness in their skin. In order to create the same effects in a controlled manner, take a small spray bottle and fill it with tepid water. Add one teaspoon of salt in it. Spray the content gently on your face while keeping the eyes close. You will feel as if you are facing a salty breeze on a sea shore. You can do it once in a day. Dry your face by blotting after this exercise.
Apple Facial
Arrange following ingredients:
Meshed Apple: ½ Cup
Cooked Oatmeal: ½ Cup
Egg White: 1 slightly beaten
Lemon Juice: 1 Tablespoon
Make a paste of all the ingredients and apply it on the face. Leave it for about 15 minutes. Wash the face with cool water.
Egg Yolk
Egg is the simplest element that can remove the oil shine from the face rapidly. Egg yolk mask is efficient to dry out the skin. Apply the egg yolk with a cotton piece of cloth on the oily parts of the face. Let it dry for about 20 minutes and then wash with cool water.

The Bengali calendar (বঙ্গাব্দ Bônggabdo or বাংলা সন Bangla Shôn) or Bangla calendar is a traditional solar calendar used in Bangladesh and India's eastern states of West Bengal, Assam and Tripura. The year begins on Pôhela Boishakh, which falls on 14 April in Bangladesh and 15 April in India. In Assam, this corresponds to Bhaskar Era, named after the Kamarupa king, Bhaskara Varman.
The current Bengali year is 1415. The Bengali year is always 593 less than the year in the Gregorian calendar of the Christian Era or Anno Domini era or Common Era or Current Era for the period after Pôhela Boishakh. However, the Bengali calendar is 594 less than the Gregorian calendar if it is before Pôhela Boishakh.
The new Fôsholi Shôn was introduced on 10/11 March 1584, but was dated from Akbar's accession to the throne in 1556. The new year subsequently became known as বঙ্গাব্দ Bônggabdo or বাংলা সন Bangla Shôn ("Bengali year").
In a different interpretation, King Shashanka of Ancient Bengal, who ruled approximately between 600 AD and 625 AD, is credited with starting the Bengali era. Shashankya was the sovereign king of Bengal at the start of seventh century. Much of today's Indian states of Bengal, Bihar, and Orissa was under his kingdom. The prevailing reason is that the year cannot start as 963 B.S. (Bangla Shôn) in synchrony with 963 Hijra. The Bengali Era must have begun before that and Akbar took over form this point on. According to this the starting point of Bengali Era was AD 593/594. By the time of reign of Akbar in AD 1556 the Bengali Era 963 B.S. had been in synchrony with then used 963 Hijra era. Because of the practical advantages of using a solar year, Akbar started using the Bengali era as the official calendar for collecting taxes. Extrapolating further back to the starting point of Bengali era it could be stated that it started on Monday, 12 April 594 in Julian Calendar and Monday, 14 April 594 in proleptic Gregorian calendar.
During the reign of the Mughals, the Bengali Calendar was officially implemented throughout the empire. Apart from Bengal, however, the calendar was abandoned with the end of Mughal rule.

The month names in the initial Bengali calendar were different from those used in the modern version. Originally, the months were known under the names of the Persian calendar as Farwadin, Ardi, Vihisu, Khordad, Teer, Amardad, Shahriar, Aban, Azur', Dai, Baham and Iskander Miz.
In the Bengali calendar, the day begins and ends at sunrise , unlike in the Gregorian calendar, where the day starts at midnight.
The length of a year in the Bengali calendar, as in the Gregorian calendar, is counted as 365 days. However, the actual time taken by the earth in its revolution around the sun is 365 days 5 hours 48 minutes and 47 seconds. To make up this discrepancy, the Gregorian calendar adds an extra day, to make a leap year, to the month of February every fourth year (except in century years which are not divisible by 400). The Bengali calendar, which was based on astronomical calculations, did not make this extra leap year adjustment. Bengali months, too, were of different lengths. To counter this discrepancy, and to make the Bengali calendar more precise, the following recommendations of the Bangla Academy are followed:
The revised calendar is officially adopted in Bangladesh in 1987. However, it is not followed in the neighbouring state of West Bengal, India, where the old calendar continues to be followed.
In West Bengal, India, the Bengalis follow a sidereal solar calendar unlike the tropical solar calendars, such as the reformed Bengali and Gregorian Calendars. The mathematical difference between the sidereal and the tropical calendars amounts to the difference of starting the new year in Bangladesh and West Bengal, India. Because of this the length of the months are also not fixed in the Bengali sidereal calendar, but rather are based on the true movement of the sun.
Although the sidereal solar calendar is being followed in West Bengal, India, the number of days in the months are determined by the true motion of the Sun through zodiac. In this calendar, seven is subtracted from the year number the result is divided by 39. If after the division the remainder becomes zero or could be divided by 4, the year is then designated as a leap year and contains 366 days with the last month Choitro taking 31 days. There are 10 leap years in every 37 years, although an extraordinary revision may be required over a long time.
In everyday use, the Bengali Calendar has been largely replaced by the Gregorian Calendar in Bengali-speaking regions, although it is still essential for marking holidays specific to Bengali culture (e.g. Pôhela Boishakh, Durga Puja, etc.), and for marking the seasons of the year, and is thus recognized by the Bangladeshi government for the observation of public holidays. Almost every Bengali- and English-language newspaper in Bangladesh and West Bengal prints the day's date according to the Bengali Calendar alongside the corresponding date of the Gregorian Calendar. Many newspapers in Bangladesh also add a third date, following the Islamic Hijri Calendar. Thus, it is quite common in Bangladesh to find the date written three times (e.g. "25 Falgun 1412, 17 Muharram 1427, 27 February 2006") under the newspaper title.

That's close but you don't start timing until after the first Bone Shield charge is expended (since that is the point it starts mitigating damage). So you'd have to do it like this:
3 charges @ 2 second ICD = 6 seconds.
5 charges @ 2 second ICD = 10 seconds.
That is obviously just the worst case scenario. Bone Shield uptime can be longer than that with avoidance, full Blood Shield absorbs etc.
OH! Thank's for the fix.

Truth behind Case of "Cheonan" Warship Sinking Bound to Be Probed
| Pyongyang, March 30 (KCNA) -- An article titled "The truth behind the case of 'Cheonan' warship sinking is bound to be probed" written by Sin Sang Chol, member of the former team of south Korea for investigation into the above-said case, was posted on the south Korean internet paper Jaju Minbo on March 26.
Many facts have been proved during dozens of hearings on him held so far as regards the case of the sinking, the article said, and went on:
During the hearings various facts casting suspicions about the warship's sinking due to the torpedo explosion were disclosed. They included the fact that the bow of the ship remained afloat for more than 16 hours, contrary to the assertion of the Ministry of Defense that it sank right after the accident and the fact that the navy authorities received the report that the cause of the sinking was stranding.
There were no phenomena which should be observed during the explosion of "Cheonan" in the light of a common sense.
The article continued:
First, living bodies are the ones which should be most adversely affected by explosion.
But there was no one among victims and survivors aboard the ship who had nosebleed and eardrum split.
Dead bodies discovered in the site of explosion, the place where the ship was broken into two pieces, were almost in proper shape. This was confirmed by the testimony made by a member of the team for retrieving dead bodies.
Doctors who made autopsies of the dead bodies drew the conclusion that all of them got drowned. This fact denies the fact that there was explosion.
The authorities claimed that there was an explosion equivalent to the simultaneous explosion of 6 000 grenades on the spot three meters below people, but there were no harm to human bodies and, moreover, even a fluorescent lamp was left as it was. This was something unprecedented.
Not a single fish was found dead among so many fishes around the ship.
Second, the point was temperature of water.
An infra-red camera can observe any sensitive reflective reaction even to microscopic difference in temperature.
The Ministry of Defense and the Defense Science Institute asserted that a torpedo exploded in the lower part of the ship, causing the temperature to rise to 2 000 - 3 000 degrees centigrade. They even claimed that temperature was so high that even aluminum burned to be white ashes.
Had their claim been right, the water temperature should have risen even one degree and this should have been observed on the infra-red camera.
The truth behind the case is bound to be probed before long despite any political turmoil, the article noted, adding to this end there will be more records of truth.
