Treatment may boomerang
Boomerang: n.
1. (Australian) a curved piece of wood; when properly thrown will return to thrower.
2. A miscalculation that recoils on its maker.
This definition from Webster's Online Dictionary describes the unanticipated consequences of certain medications.
When doctors prescribe a drug to solve a problem, they don't expect it to make things worse. But sometimes prescriptions boomerang.
For decades, doctors prescribed hormone replacement therapy to menopausal women as a way of preventing heart attacks. It was a cruel revelation to learn that HRT led to heart attacks and strokes.
Heart rhythm disturbances can be frightening and dangerous. In the 1980s, doctors prescribed drugs like Tambocor (flecainide) and Enkaid (encainide) to control serious arrhythmias. But in 1989, a large study of these drugs determined they were causing sudden cardiac death, the very outcome they were supposed to prevent.
The most recent example of the boomerang drug effect is with osteoporosis medications such as Actonel, Boniva and Fosamax. These all belong to a class of drugs called bisphosphonates. They are supposed to strengthen bones, but some doctors report that long-term use of these drugs may actually pose a risk of certain unusual fractures.
To understand how these drugs work, remember that bone is constantly being broken down by some cells and built back by others. In healthy bone, these processes balance out. In osteoporosis, bone breakdown gets way ahead of bone rebuilding, resulting in weakened bones. The bisphosphonates slow down the cells that destroy bone tissue and thus allow the bone-building cells to catch up.
Questions have been raised, however, about the quality of the bone that is rebuilt. An article in the New England Journal of Medicine (March 20, 2008) described more than a dozen cases of unusual broken thighbones associated with long-term use of Fosamax (alendronate).
Since then, other investigators have also noticed cases of such atypical femur fractures. The most recent reports were presented at the 2010 meeting of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons. One study found that although bisphosphonate treatment strengthened bone at first, after four or five years the bone had less structural integrity and might become brittle.
No one knows yet the actual risk of these unusual fractures. The Food and Drug Administration is reviewing information about this possible link. So far, it has not established that the drugs are responsible for the breaks. The agency urges patients to report hip or thigh pain and not to stop such medications on their own.
This isn't the only controversy the FDA is wrestling with. Asthma drugs are supposed to open airways and reduce the risk of serious complications. Yet data on certain asthma medications, including Foradil (formoterol) and Serevent (salmeterol), suggest that they may actually increase the risk of severe asthma attacks and even death (New England Journal of Medicine online, Feb. 24, 2010).
Such boomerang effects leave patients and doctors as puzzled as the FDA. For safety's sake, we need better information about the long-term risks of medications and more discussion of alternatives for treatment.

The Royal Navy is to install a series of nuclear submarine berths around Britain in a move that local authorities are calling the equivalent of "putting a nuclear reactor in the middle of town".
Councils have been told to draw up a long list of contingency plans in case of an emergency to provide back-up for the new "Z-berths".
Schools in the ports will be issued with potassium iodide tablets designed to lessen the effects of radiation exposure as part of the plans in the 200-page Radiation Emergency Preparedness and Public Information Regulations.
The Navy has traditionally housed its submarines at Plymouth and at Faslane, near Glasgow, but has decided to increase the locations where a boat can pick up provisions or sailors or tie up in an emergency. During the Cold War the Navy had numerous Z-berths around the country, but these were closed as the Soviet threat faded. Following a review, however, new berths are to be installed in Southampton, Portland and Liverpool, with another one possibly on the East coast.
An emergency two years ago on board the Chicoutimi, a diesel submarine, is also thought to have influenced the decision. Britain had just sold the vessel to Canada when it caught fire off Northern Ireland, leading to the death of one sailor.
Stewart Kemp, the secretary for Nuclear Free Local Authorities, said people would not approve of the Navy bringing a nuclear reactor into their towns.
"There is a reactor safety issue, as witnessed a few years ago with HMS Tireless in Gibraltar," he said. "This raises the same issues as that of a community living next to a nuclear power station and it is not for nothing that these are in remote areas.
"One of the riskiest times for a nuclear reactor is when it is powering up and powering down, which is what happens when it comes into port."
While no engineering work or ammunition replenishment will be carried out, the boats, which are expected to dock about once every two years, will require MoD police for security and the emergency services on standby. No submarines armed with nuclear warheads will use the ports.
A spokesman for Southampton, which should have its Z-Berth operational later this year, said: "We are going through emergency response exercises but this adds to the burden as there is a lot of work in preparing the plan, which includes a significant amount of medical work."
When a submarine comes into port, potassium iodide pills, which are used to prevent thyroid cancer for people exposed to radioactive iodides, will have to be distributed to schools and residents near the base.
A spokesman for the Navy said: "The Royal Navy has an essential role in the protection of the UK homeland. A key element of this is the ability to be able to operate, with unhindered flexibility, around the full extent of our coastline, including the potential to use berthing facilities in UK commercial ports where and when necessary.
"No submarine visit will take place until the plan has been demonstrated to and approved by the Health and Safety Executive."
He added that in 40 years of operating nuclear submarines the Navy had never had a reactor accident.

THE COURT-CRIER having called upon all to
observe a strict silence while the Judge pronounced the awful sentence of death:
his Honour said; "Edward Kelly, the verdict pronounced by the jury is one
which you must have fully expected."
The prisoner: "Yes, under the circumstances."
His Honour: "No circumstances that I can conceive could have altered the
result of the trial."
The prisoner: "Perhaps not from what you now conceive, but if you had heard
me examine the witnesses it would have been different."
His Honour: "The facts are so numerous, and so convincing, not only as
regards the original offence with which you are charged, but with respect to a
long series of transactions covering a period of eighteen months, that no
rational person would hesitate to arrive at any other conclusion but that the
verdict of the jury is irresistible, and that it is right. I have no desire to
inflict on you any personal remarks. It is not becoming that I should endeavour
to aggravate the sufferings with which your mind must be sincerely
The prisoner: No: I don't think that; my mind is as easy as the mind of any man
in this world, as I am prepared to show before God and man.
His Honour: It is blasphemous for you to say that. You appear to revel in the
idea of having put men to death.
The prisoner: "More men than I have put men to death, but I am the last man
in the world that would take a man's life. Two years ago - even if my own life
was at stake - and I am confident, if I thought a man would shoot me - I would
give him a chance of keeping his life, and would part with my own; but if I knew
that through him innocent persons' lives were at stake, I certainly would have
to shoot him if he forced me to do so; but I would want to know that he was
really going to take my innocent life."
His Honour: "Your statement involves a cruelly wicked charge of perjury
against a phalanx of witnesses."
The prisoner: I dare say; but a day will come, at a bigger Court than this, when
we shall see which is right and which is wrong. No matter how long a man lives
he is bound to come to judgement somewhere, and as well here as anywhere. It
will be different the next time there is a Kelly trial; for they are not all
killed. It would have been good for the Crown had I examined the witnesses, and
I would have stopped a lot of the reward, I can assure you, and I don't know but
I won't do it yet if allowed.
His Honour: "An offence of this kind is of no ordinary character. Murders
had been discovered which had been committed under circumstances of great
atrocity. They proceeded from motives other than those which actuated you. They
had their origin in many sources. Some have been committed from a sordid desire
to take from others the property they had acquired; some from jealousy, some
from a desire of revenge, but yours is a more aggravated crime, and one of
larger proportions; for, with a party of men, you took arms against society,
organised as it is for mutual protection and for respect of law."
The prisoner: "That is how the evidence came out here. It appeared that I
deliberately took up arms, of my own accord, and induced the other three to join
me, for the purpose of doing nothing but shooting down the police."
His Honour: "In new communities, where the bonds of societies are not so
well linked together as in older countries, there is unfortunately a class which
disregards the evil consequences of crime. Foolish, inconsiderate,
ill-conducted, and unprincipled youths unfortunately abound, and unless they are
made to consider the consequences of crime, they are led to imitate notorious
felons whom they regard as self-made heroes. It is right, therefore, that they
should be asked to consider and reflect upon what the life of a felon is. A
felon who has cut himself off from all, and who declines all the affections,
charities, and all the obligations of society, is as helpless and as degraded as
a wild beast of the field; he has nowhere to lay his head; he has no one to
prepare for him the comforts of life; he suspects his friends, and he dreads his
enemies. He is in constant alarm lest his pursuers should reach him, and his
only hope is that he might lose his life in what he considers a glorious
struggle for existence. That is the life of an outlaw or felon, and it would be
well for those young men who are so foolish as to consider that it is brave of a
man to sacrifice the lives of his fellow creatures in carrying out his own wild
ideas, to see that it is a life to be avoided by every possible means, and to
reflect that the unfortunate termination of the felon's life is a miserable
death. New South Wales joined with Victoria is providing ample inducement to
persons to assist in having you and your companions apprehended; but by some
spell, which I cannot understand -- a spell which exists in all lawless
communities more or less, and which may be attributed either to a sympathy for
the outlaws, or a dread of the consequences which would result from the
performance of their duty -- no persons were found who would be tempted by the
reward or love of country, or the love of order, to give you up. The love of
obedience to the law has been set aside, for reasons difficult to explain, and
there is something extremely wrong in a country where a lawless band of men are
able to live for eighteen months, disturbing society. During your short life you
have stolen according to your own statements over 200 horses."
The prisoner: "Who proves that?"
His Honour: More than one witness has testified that you made that statement on
several occasions.
The prisoner: That charge has never been proved against me, and it is held in
English law that a man is innocent until proven guilty.
His Honour: "You are self-accused. The statement was made voluntarily by
yourself that you and your companions committed attacks on two banks, and
appropriated therefrom large sums of money amounting to several thousands of
pounds. Further, I cannot conceal from myself the fact that an expenditure of
50,000 pounds has been rendered necessary in consequence of acts with which you
and your party have been connected. We have had samples of felons, all of whom
have come to ignominious deaths. Still the effect expected from their punishment
has not been produced. This is much to be deplored. When such examples as those
are so often repeated society must be reorganised, or it must soon be seriously
affected. Your unfortunate and miserable companions have died a death which
probably you might rather envy, but you are not offered the opportunity."
His Honour then sentenced the prisoner to death in the usual form, ending with
the words, "May the Lord have mercy on your soul."
The prisoner: I will go a little further than that, and say I will see you there
when I go.

Electronic Arts recently released DLC, or downloadable content, for Star Wars Battlefront in advance of Rogue One's premiere this month. The DLC is entitled "Rogue One: Scarif," referencing the planet of Scarif where much of the new content (and the Rogue One movie) take place. For those unfamiliar with Star Wars: Battlefront, the game and its DLC allow the player to participate in many of the epic battles which take place in Star Wars lore as some of the series' most iconic characters. Particularly notable about the Rogue One: Scarif DLC was the inclusion of Jyn's Solution and Krennic's Offense, two weapons available by completing the appropriate "Hutt Contracts" in game. The "Hutt Contracts" are offered by the incomparable Jabba the Hutt, and are completed by killing other characters with certain weapons a specified number of times. Though the in-game murders are perpetrated by the player's character, Jabba would also be liable for the player's criminal actions through the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act ("RICO").
RICO states, in part, that "It is unlawful for anyone employed by or associated with any enterprise engaged in, or the activities of which affect, interstate or foreign commerce, to conduct or participate, directly or indirectly, in the conduct of such enterprise's affairs through a pattern of racketeering activity or collection of unlawful debt." Racketeering activity is defined, in part, as "any act or threat involving murder, kidnapping, gambling, arson, robbery, bribery, extortion, dealing in obscene matter or dealing in a controlled substance…which is chargeable under State law and punishable by imprisonment for more than one year." Effectively, RICO extends criminal liability to the leaders of a crime syndicate who ordered another to commit, or assisted another in committing, the serious, specified crimes.
In order to be found guilty of violating RICO, it must be proved beyond a reasonable doubt that (1) an enterprise existed; (2) the enterprise affected interstate commerce; (3) the defendant was associated with or employed by the enterprise; (4) the defendant engaged in a pattern of racketeering activity; and (5) the defendant conducted or participated in the conduct of the enterprise through the pattern of racketeering activity through the commission of at least two acts of racketeering activity.
Jabba's crime syndicate easily qualifies as an enterprise under RICO, which does not necessitate any sort of business entity, but merely a group of individuals associated in fact. By virtue of Jabba offering the Hutt Contracts to players, the players and Jabba are an enterprise unto themselves. Furthermore, as Jabba's crime syndicate was substantial enough to be a primary source of wealth for Tatooine, it is safe to say that his criminal enterprise not only effected interstate commerce, but also interplanetary commerce. The Hutt Contracts, in particular, are exemplary of how Jabba's enterprise impacts interstate commerce. Players who seek to complete the Hutt Contracts are not limited to one physical area to complete said contracts. Instead, players are able to travel from planet to planet to obtain a sufficient number of kills to satisfy the contract. As travel between planets to commit the murders is a necessary part of the gameplay, satisfaction of the Hutt Contracts necessitates an impact on interstate (and interplanetary) commerce. Association with the criminal enterprise is given in this matter, as we are aware that Jabba is the head of the crime syndicate in question by his offering of the Hutt Contracts, and the players are associated by virtue of their acceptance of Jabba's unlawful contracts to kill people.
Lastly, the player, at the behest of Jabba, engaged in a pattern of racketeering activity by committing multiple murders in order to fulfill any of the Hutt Contracts. In order to establish a sufficient pattern, at least two acts of racketeering activity must be committed within ten years of each other, said activities must be related, and the activities must amount to or pose a threat of continued criminal activity. In the matter of the Hutt Contracts, the murders are completed within a short amount of time, as one is able to complete a contract within several matches. Furthermore, the racketeering activities of the Hutt Contracts are related, as they are offered proximately to one another, have similar goals, payments, methodologies, and rely upon similar repetition of unlawful actions. The Hutt Contracts also pose a threat to continued racketeering activities by the very nature of offering many murder-for-hire contracts which are fulfilled in different ways. One cannot simply complete all of the Hutt Contracts in the same manner.
Though Jabba could have been found liable for the many unlawful activities offered in the Hutt Contracts by means of the RICO doctrine, it is important to remember that Jabba's criminal enterprise extended far beyond murder-for-hire. Realistically, as one of the Outer Rim's most notorious crime lords, Jabba's exposure to potential RICO liability was sizeable. Though Jabba may have been liable for a variety of racketeering activity, he nonetheless evaded the court's justice for prosecution under RICO. Unfortunately for Jabba, he was unable to avoid Leia.

|Quests are short objectives, or a series of objectives, performed at the request of an NPC. Quests do not need to be completed immediately upon acceptance. Upon completion, the player will receive a rewards, typically including experience points, gil and/or items. They can be loosely divided into the following subcategories.
Main Scenario Quests.
|These quests comprise the main storyline of A Realm Reborn. This storyline is mostly linear, meaning one and only one quest follows the preceding one, although there are few limited instances where there is a small branch. Progressing through this storyline will unlock most aspects of the game, including Inns, Guildleves, Guildhests and Dungeons among many other game systems.
|These quests are optional quests that can be done in any order to gain experience, gil and/or items. Some sidequests are part of a series, but most stand alone. They can typically be done by any disciple of war or magic.
Side Story Quests.
|These quests are optional sidequests, but unlike most sidequests they have a lengthier and more complex storyline that spans multiple quests (and patches). Side Story Quest are often, but not always, more lighthearted than the Chronicles of a New Era, which are similar in structure. The relic quest-lines are included in this designation as well.
Grand Company Quests.
|These are the quests specific to your chosen Grand Company.
Chronicles of a New Era.
|These quests are optional sidequests, but unlike most sidequests they have a lengthier and more complex storyline that spans multiple quests (and patches). These quests are typically involve more challenging content than the more lighthearted Side Story Quests, and are therefore unlocked only after completing the main story in each expansion.
Class Quests.
|Class quests are those obtainable exclusively when playing as a certain class. Each class has a linear storyline that rewards certain items and/or skills.
Job Quests.
|Like class quests, job quests are those obtainable exclusively when playing as a certain job. Each job has a linear storyline that rewards certain items and/or skills.
Beast Tribe Quests.
|Beast Tribe quests are primarily daily repeatable quests. Each tribe has two short introductory quests, which, upon completion, grants the player receives a "neutral" reputation rating with the Tribe. This allows the player access to that Tribe's neutral daily repeatable sidequests and certain items from the Tribal merchant. Completing sidequests for the tribe will increase your reputation, and when it is maxed out at a given level, you can complete the next Tribal Main Quest to unlock the new reputation level (and accompanying new sidequests and/or wares). Tribal sidequests can be completed daily, and a player is granted 12 allowances per day with a maximum of 12 allowances to be held at any one time.
|Levequests are immediately repeatable quests obtained by talking to a Levemete. You can possess up to 100 Leve Allotments at any one time, with three replenishing every 12 hours. Upon talking to a Levemete, you will be offered a set number of available Levequests, and you can select any/all offered. New levequests will be offered as you complete the ones taken. Levequests fall into three main groups, battlecraft, tradescraft and fieldcraft.
This category has the following 8 subcategories, out of 8 total.
- ► Beast Tribe Quest (11 C)
- ► Chronicles of a New Era (9 C, 95 P)
- ► Class Quest (20 C, 320 P)

General Mercantile Store
Reconstruction of this mid 19th-century building was completed in 1995 after it had been moved from the village of Fredericksburg in 1994. It recreates the atmosphere of a turn-of-the-century general store which has now passed from the rural scene.
Also located within the country store is a recreation of an early 20th-century ladies dress shop where vintage fashions at their finest can be seen in seasonally-changing exhibits. The Society holds an outstanding collection of early textiles, with some pieces dating back to the 18th century.

The stories of the tragic fate of the Serbian people you can read on site
ISTOK, PEĆ — Serbian government's Kraljevo-based Office for Kosovo on Sunday organized a visit to cemeteries in towns of Istok and Peć for displaced Serbs.
Both cemeteries have been desecrated.
In the town of Istok, where only several Serb families still live, more than 100 tombstones have been damaged and completely destroyed.
"A decade of madness cannot defeat centuries," said Kraljevo-based Office for Kosovo Director Aleksandar Erac.
"In Istok, mad people had no respect for anyone, everyone's tombstones were destroyed, regardless of the dead people's age," he added.
The displaced Serbs lit candles and laid flowers to the graves of their loved ones.
The cemetery in Peć, one of the largest Orthodox cemeteries in Kosovo, has been turned into a landfill where Albanians throw their garbage, the office stressed.
"Cow heads scattered around once paved paths warn of misdoings of those whose alleged independence is recognized by more than 90 countries," Erac noted.
Vandals destroyed not only tombstones but also marble slabs and coffins and many bodies of the deceased are missing.
According to the Kosovo police, 50 Serbian graves were desecrated at the Orthodox cemetery in Prizren during the last month, the Diocese said citing a local priest.
The Diocese said that the desecration occurred just a week after vandals desecrated about 50 graves at the Orthodox cemetery in Kosovo Polje.
At the invitation via Facebook by the extremist Albanian organization self-styled 'Albanian National Army', members of the ultra-nationalist organization 'Self-Determination' gathered and tried to attack the Monastery of the Most Holy Mother of God in Djakovica last night.
The attack on the Orthodox facility, home to four Serb women who remained there, namely nuns Teoktista and Joanikija and two old women, Vasiljka and Nada, was prevented from taking place by Kosovo police and KFOR.
The building, now renewed, was razed to the ground by the Albanian terrorists in the 2004 pogrom.
At the moment when the European Council discusses human rights in Kosovo-Metohija, the world can once more see for itself where the society in which family tombs are desecrated and Christian shrines and symbols are attacked is heading, said the Diocese.
The Diocese added that the motive for the attacks could not be explained for by the recent tension in the southern Serbian town of Presevo, because the desecrations of Serbian holy sites and cemeteries have been ongoing for years.
Bishop Teodosije demanded a better protection of Orthodox religious sites and cemeteries and urged the international community not to allow the rampage of nationalists who inflict pain and damage to the remaining Serbs in Kosovo and bring great shame on the Albanian people.
A monument in Kosovska Vitina dedicated to those who fought against the German occupation forces in World War Two was torn down on Monday, the local radio station Klokot has reported.
Kosovo police spokesperson Saban Azizi has confirmed this, the radio stated.
Dozens of Serb graves across Kosovo were desecrated on Sunday night, in Klokot, Priluzje, Plemetina and Prizren, while unidentified individuals in Gorazdevac desecrated the monument to the victims of the NATO bombing campaign and to the Serb children killed at the river Bistrica in 2003.
Erac stressed that the perpetrators wanted to erase century-long existence of the Serbian people in Kosovo by desecrating the cemeteries.

The atomic bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki shattered all war precedent. The mid-numbing damage these nuclear weapons wrought shook the foundations of human existence. The development of the atomic bomb was the product of cooperation among politicians, military and scientists. The nuclear age began the moment the bombs were dropped on human beings. Their enormous destructive power reduced utterly innocent civilian populations to ashes. Women, the elderly, and newborns were bathed in deadly radiation and slaughtered. The dropping of the nuclear weapons is a problem that must be addressed globally. History is written by the victors. Thus, the heinous massacre that was Hiroshima has been handed down to us as a perfectly justified act of war. As a result, for fifty years we have never directly confronted the full implications of this horrifying act for the future of the human race. Hence, we are still forced to live under the enormous threat of nuclear weapons. Inscribed on the Cenotaph for the A-bomb Victims, located in Hiroshima's Peace Memorial Park, are the following words: "Let All the Souls Here Rest in Peace: For We Shall Not Repeat the Evil." Evil indicates the act of human beings waging war and developing and using atomic weapons to achieve victory.
This is not a debate regarding the responsibility for the dropping of
the atomic bombs. Japan also committed shameful acts during World War II.
Rather I would like to convey to the people of the world what kind of damage
befell Hiroshima and appeal for the abolition of nuclear weapons so that
this tragedy is never repeated. Beneath the atomic bomb's monstrous mushroom
cloud, human skin was burned raw. Crying for water, human beings died in
desperate agony. With thoughts of the victims as the starting point, it
is incumbent upon us to think about the nuclear age and the relationship
between human beings and nuclear weapons.
At 8:15 a.m. on August 6, 1945, the atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima exploded 580 meters above the heart of the city. The bomb used a single kilogram of uranium 235 to produce energy equivalent to 15 kilotons of TNT. A B29, the world's largest bomber in 1945, carried a maximum payload of five tons of TNT in conventional weapons. Thus, the atomic bomb was equivalent of subjecting Hiroshima to an instantaneous attack by more that 3,000 B29's. An intense flash of light flooded the city center. With the roar that followed, enormous pillars of flame burst toward the skies. A majority of buildings crumbled and many people died or were injured. The unique characteristic of the atomic bomb was that the enormous destruction was instantaneous and universal. Old, young, male, female, soldier, civilian--the killing was utterly indiscriminate. The entire city was exposed to the compound and devastating effects of thermal rays, shock wave and blast, and radiation.
With regard to the thermal rays, at the epicenter, the Hiroshima bomb generated heat that reached several million degrees centigrade. The fireball was about 280 meters in diameter. The thermal rays emanating from it are thought to have instantly charred any human being outdoors near the hypocenter. In some documented cases, clothing burst into flames at a distance of two kilometers from the hypocenter. Many fires ignited simultaneously throughout the city. The entire city was reduced to char and ashes.
The shock wave and blast also caused great damage. At the epicenter, the fireball generated a state of super-pressure reaching several hundred thousand atmospheres and an enormously powerful shock wave. This shock wave struck directly, but inflicted even great damage when it ricocheted off the ground and buildings. Following the initial shock wave was an extremely powerful blast wind estimated at 440 meters per second (nearly 1,000 mph) at the hypocenter. People were lifted and carried through the air by this blast. All wooden buildings within a radius of about two kilometers collapsed--many well beyond that distance were damaged badly. The blast and thermal rays combined to totally burn or collapse approximately 70 percent of the 76,327 dwellings in Hiroshima at the time. The rest were partially destroyed, half-burnt or damaged. To say that the entire city was instantly devastated is no exaggeration.
There was also radiation damage. Immediately after the explosion the area was bathed in high levels of initial radiation, that is, gamma and neutron rays. Within a radius of about one kilometer of the hypocenter, nearly everyone who suffered full body exposure died. Those who managed to survive initially soon succumbed to the late effects of radiation (also called aftereffects). Even today, thousands of people struggle daily with the course of illness caused by that radiation. Many not directly exposed to the bomb died due to residual radiation.
On that day, there were approximately 35,000 people in Hiroshima. The
city government presently estimates that some 14,000 had died by the end
of 1945. However, in many cases entire families were wiped out. The local
community was in disarray. Records were lost to fire. Nor was any thorough
survey done at the time. Thus, even today we have no truly accurate casualty
figure. Among the dead were many Koreans, Chinese, students from throughout
Asia, and even a few American prisoners of war.
Above all, we must focus on the fact that the human misery caused by the atomic bomb is different from that caused by conventional weapons. As stated earlier, human bodies were burned by the thermal rays and high-temperature fires, broken and lacerated by the blast, and insidiously attacked by radiation. These forms of damage compounded and amplified each other, and the name given to the combination was "A-bomb disease." A-bomb disease has been broadly categorized into "acute affects" and "late effects." The chief characteristic of radiation damage is that it has continued to this day. Even fifty years later, the effects of radiation on human bodies is not thoroughly understood, Medically, we do know that radiation destroys cells in the human body, which can lead to many forms of pathology.
The exposure in Hiroshima to high levels of radiation was the first in human history. There was no previous data about the effect on human bodies. Thus, medical treatment immediately after the bombing was a matter of groping in the dark. Hospitals were in ruins, medical staff were dead or injured, and there were no medicines or equipment, so an incredible number of victims died unable to receive sufficient treatment. Despite minor burns and injuries, survivors worked fanatically to help others but in a few days or a few weeks, developing fever, diarrhea, hemorrhaging, and extreme fatigue, many died abruptly. This was the pattern of the acute symptoms of A-bomb disease.
Acute effects referred to those that manifested as disease within four months. In addition to burns and external injuries, initial radiation cause certain characteristic symptoms. Those exposed near the hypocenter suffered widespread destruction of cells, loss of blood-producing tissue, and organ damage. Their immune systems were weakened and such symptoms as hair loss were conspicuous. Their acute effects subsided after about four months, but five to six year after the bombing, a dramatic increase was recorded in leukemia and other late effects. Characteristic late effects were keloids (excessive growth of scar tissue over healed burns), cataracts, leukemia, thyroid cancer, breast cancer, lung cancer, and other cancers. Those exposed in their mothers' womb often were born with microcephalia, a syndrome involving mental retardation and incomplete growth.
A few examples of late effects merit attention: Sadako Saski was exposed to the bomb at the age of two. She appeared to grow up strong and healthy, but ten year later in 1955, she was suddenly diagnosed with leukemia an hospitalized. In Japan, cranes are a symbol of longevity. Sadako believed she would be healed if she folded 1,000 paper cranes, so every day, lying in bed and using the paper her medicine came in, she continued to fold the cranes. Despite her wishes, after eight months of fighting her illness, she passed away. This speaks of the intense fear generated by radiation's power to reach across years or decades to continue its killing. The story of Sadako's death and the paper cranes touched the hearts of children. They collected money from all over the world and build a monument in Hiroshima's Peace Memorial Park. The statue, set high on a pedestal, depicts a young girl holding a giant paper crane over her head. People from Japan and throughout the world continually send their offerings of paper cranes to be placed a the foot of that monument. Through the death of a young girl from the late effects of radiation, paper cranes have become a nearly universal symbol of world peace and the abolition of nuclear weapons.
Microcephalia has became a syndrome symbolic of the mental and physical retardation suffered by children exposed to radiation from the atomic bomb as fetuses. For these children, no hope remains of becoming normal individuals. Nothing can be done for them medically. The atomic bomb stamped its indelible mark on the lives of these utterly innocent unborn babies. The parents of these children are now elderly or have already passed away. One of these parents recently commented, "Usually, by the time children are fifty years old they are taking their aged parents to hot spring resorts. My child is almost fifty, but however old I get, I will always have to lead my child by the hand." Her words vividly express the mother-child tragedy produced by the bomb, but the personal misery the atomic bomb's radiation quietly set in motion even in the protective depths of a mother's womb is a dark foreshadowing of what nuclear weapons have in store for the human race. Directly bombed in Hiroshima and Nagasaki or indirectly exposed to radiation during relief activities, approximately 330,000 people throughout Japan are still suffering fifty years later from late effects.
Research thus far has demonstrated that, when survivors reach the age at which certain cancers appear, they are clearly more susceptible to cancer than is the general population. At present, in addition to leukemia, measurable effects attributable to the atomic bomb have been accepted for breast, thyroid, stomach, and lung cancers. However, we still lack a complete understanding of what radiation, once taken into the body, can do with the passage of time.
The atomic bomb did more than destroy people and property. The economic
and social infrastructure of citizens was devastated. Those able to survive
had lost their entire community, leaving their lives impoverished and empty.
The severing of family relationships produced thousands of "A-bomb orphans"
and "A-bomb elderly," people unable to live independently. And continually,
those who did escape with their lives were haunted by anxiety, never knowing
when or where A-bomb disease might erupt in their lives. They suffered
and continue to suffer psychologically, physically, and socially from the
atomic bomb's aftereffects.
I was away when Hiroshima was bombed, so I was spared the atomic bombing itself. But my most beloved relatives and many acquaintances were killed. A cousin, a first-year student at a girl's school at the time, was 800 meter from the hypocenter. She died that night. It was hard to hear my weeping aunt lamenting, "If only there wasn't a war...If only the atomic bomb hadn't been dropped....."
My wife, who was also a first-year student at a girls school, happened to be sick that day and didn't go to school, so she was saved. Nearly all her classmates were killed. Even today the fact that her life was spared remains a heavy burden of grief deep in her heart. Those who survived will never escape the psychological and physical effects of the bombing.
Many records such as diaries, picture, photos, and movies depict the damage done to Hiroshima. But those who were there universally emphasize that no depiction comes close to the actual experience and that their experience was not like anything in this world. "It wasn't at all like the situation that is commonly conveyed today," they say, "It was far, far worse and can never be expressed." This phenomenon tells us that the bomb reduced Hiroshima to an inhuman state utterly beyond human ability to express or imagine.
I worked for a time for a newspaper in Hiroshima and I will never forget the badly scarred face and hands of one of the women who worked there with me. She had lost her husband to the bomb and, though she was quite embarrassed about her appearance, she was forced to go out and work to feed her children. She died 16 years ago. She was 33 years old at the time of the bombing and was 1,700 meters from the hypocenter. Five years later, in 1950, she described her experience in detail:
"Somewhere a voice shouted, 'Hey, there's a parachute. A parachute is coming down!' Without thinking I looked in the direction indicated by the voice. At that instant, flash. The sky in the direction I was looking was pure light. I don't know how to describe that light like a fire burning in my eyes. It was like the eerie bluish-purple sparks that electric street cars make at night, only trillions of time brighter. But that isn't exactly right either. So fast that later I wondered which came first, the light was followed by a roar that reverberated to the bottom of my belly, and I was instantly slammed against the ground, with something falling in little pieces on my head and shoulders. When I opened my eyes, I saw nothing but darkness. Suddenly I clearly saw the faces of my three children, who had been evacuated to the country. Thinking of them made me begin impulsively, involuntarily thrashing my body around violently. I pushed and pushed with my hands to sweep away the pieces of wood and tile, but more kept sliding in on me, and I couldn't seem to get my body free. 'I can't die. What will the children do? My husband might be dead. I have to get out of here.' In utter desperation, I crawled out. Once out, I noticed a terrible stench in the air. It must have been a white phosphorous fire bomb. Without thinking, I took the towel that was tucked into my belt and firmly wiped my nose and mouth. That was when I realized for the first time that there was something wrong with my face. The skin that I wiped just peeled and slipped right off. I was shocked. 'What? My arm!' The skin on my right hand slipped off from the second joint of my fingers and just dangled sickeningly from the tips of my fingers. The fingers on left hand, from the wrist down, were peeled raw and slimy."
According to her account, she fled in a dream-like state and made it to a relief station in the suburbs. Summer turned to autumn, and still the flesh of her wounds continued to melt away. The wounds were the color of a crushed, ripe tomato, but new skin would form.
The following spring, her bandages finally came off. She described the
physical condition as follows: "My left earlobe had shrunk to half its
size. On my left cheek, down past my month and onto my neck was a keloid
the size of a person's palm. On my right hand, a five-centimeter-wide keloid
ran from the second joint to my little finger. The five fingers of my left
hand had pulled together abnormally where they joined the hand."
Today, fifty years after peace was regained, people continue to suffer the late effects of radiation. What could be more cruel? Nuclear weapons are more cruel and inhumane than any weapon banned thus far by international law. Attacks on civilians are banned by international law and the use of weapons of mass destruction, causing unnecessary human suffering, is prohibited by international declarations and binding agreements. These principles serve as the foundation for the concept of human treatment. This concept is the spirit behind the international law that arose in modern Europe.
The 1858 Declaration of St. Petersburg; the Declaration respecting Dum-Dum bullets; Article 23 of the 1907 Regulations respecting the Laws and Customs of War and Land (Attached paper to the Connection respecting the Laws and Customs of War and Land); the 1935 Protocol for the Prohibition of the Use in War of Asphyxiating, Poisonous or other Gases, and of Bacteriological Methods of Warfare; the 1972 Convention on the Prohibition of the Development, Production and Stockpiling of Bacteriological (Biological) and Toxin Weapons and on Their Destruction; and similar laws all rest on the desire to prevent the most irrational deeds of humankind. International law has always sought to play a humanitarian role. Further, at the U.N. General Assembly in 1961, resolution 1653 (XVI) regarding the declaration on the prohibition of the use of nuclear and thermo-nuclear weapons was adopted. The resolution states that "The use of nuclear and thermo-nuclear weapons would exceed even the scope of war and cause indiscriminate suffering and destruction to mankind and civilization and, as such, is contrary to the rules of international law and to the laws of humanity." It is clear that the use of nuclear weapons, which causes indiscriminate mass murder that leaves survivors to suffer for decades, is in violation of international law. In addition, the development, possession and testing of nuclear weapons, which gives a great threat to non-nuclear-weapon countries, is also a violation of international law.
The stockpiles of nuclear weapons on Earth today are wrought to annihilate the entire human race several times over. There weapons are possessed on the assumption that they can be used, but the existence of nuclear weapons cannot maintain peace. In this age in which national security must be considered from a global standpoint, no country can guarantee its own security with nuclear weapons. As long as nuclear weapons exist, the human race faces a real and present danger of self-extermination. The idea based on nuclear deterrence that nuclear war can be controlled and won exhibits a failure of human intelligence to comprehend the human tragedy and global environmental destruction brought about by nuclear war.
Based on the experience of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, and the more we hear
of the suffering of indigenous peoples exposed to radiation by nuclear
tests conducted by the nuclear powers, we have come to believe that only
through a treaty that clearly stipulates the abolition of nuclear weapons
can the world step toward the future with new hope and a genuine sense
of confidence. The issue of nuclear weapons should not be a matter of political
relationships among nations. We must approach this problem in terms of
what nuclear weapons mean for the future of the human race. In February
1981, when Pope John Paul II visited Hiroshima he said, "To remember the
past is to commit oneself to future. To remember Hiroshima is to abhor
nuclear war." The fate of the human race is in your hands.

Bertramka's Garden
Bertramka's Garden, was written while sitting in a garden of a house in Prague called "Bertramka". This is where Mozart visited and eventually stayed whilst in Prague, particularly during the production of Don Giovani in 1787. When I visited the House, it had been completely cleared due to a dispute between the state and the previous owners. I did however purchase a glossy program showing me all of the things that would have been there before the dispute. Having wandered around the house I then sat in the garden in the summer heat and listening to the sound of insects and swallows whizzing around the many tall mature trees. I started this piece. bertramka-s-garden Score. bertramka-s-garden-violin-1, bertramka-s-garden-violin-2 bertramka-s-garden-viola, bertramka-s-garden-violoncello

Jump right in to the wide possibilities available in the field of photography. In the following article you will see how big this world is and how many different skills there are to learn. Photography is very subjective which can seem overwhelming to a new photographer. Use the tips in this article to narrow down what you want to do with your photographs, and start taking fantastic pictures.
Get as close to your subject as you need to. Getting as close to your subject as possible gives you more opportunities to highlight the main subject of the photo, and stops the background from ruining your shot. It also allows you to focus on facial expressions, which can be important elements to any portrait photographer. If you stay too far, you could miss important details.
While days that are filled with sunshine may be beautiful to behold, they are not so wonderful when it comes to taking photos. This can result in sun glare, distracting shadows, odd highlighting and squinting subjects. If you can, only shoot outdoors in the early hours of the morning or during late evening hours.
Write down a few notes when you take pictures. It can be tough to link a picture to the particular situation and feeling you had when you took it, especially when it is one of hundreds. Use a notepad to write down photo descriptions as well as the file name or number of the photo.
External Flash
The built-in flash on a digital camera is usually set to activate automatically when it senses dim light. This is fine for casual snapshots, but if you want more professional results, you need the wider lighting options you can get by using an external flash. If your camera will accept an external flash (look for a "hot shoe"), a photo shop can set you up with a model to sync with your camera.
ISO, shutter speed and aperture are important settings, and you may have to try different settings for the best results. Together, these features interact to determine the photograph's exposure levels. Over- or underexposed pictures should be steered away from, unless this is the particular look you are seeking. Play around with these three settings to see how they work together and which combination will create the most interesting shot.
Having good skills in photography does not involve a big secret. The more pictures you take, the more you will learn. With digital technology, you can fire away and not feel pressured to retain images that you do not like. As you study the pictures you shoot, you will learn from your mistakes and notice ways your shots could have been better, which will ultimately help you improve.
Play with the notion of scale, perspectives and expressions. A simple object can be made artistic if it is portrayed in a setting that makes it look much bigger or smaller than it is, or places it in an original and funny situation. Get creative with the composition of your photographs to come up with some inventive representations of commonplace objects.
There are three essential elements to a landscape picture. They need to include a background, foreground, and a mid-ground. These are the original basics that apply to all types of art, including photography.
Using the highest quality settings your camera allows gives you much better image quality if you plan to enlarge your photos. It also gives you more freedom to artistically crop the shot to focus on certain details. Reserve the lower settings for images that are going to be shown only on a computer monitor.
When you take your pictures, use the white balance settings on your camera. This has a big impact on the mood of the photo you are taking, and it lets you control how it will look. There is a little bit of a learning curve as you figure out what looks right, but using the manual white balance allows you to be creative with your photographs.
Composite Photo
In most situations, you need to make a choice between setting your exposure to favor the highlights of a picture or its shadows. If you can't choose between highlights and shadows, take two shots. If you still can't determine which shot is better, use photo-editing software to blend the two shots into a new composite photo. This composite photo may seem perfect to your eye.
Try taking pictures from original angles. It's rather simple for anyone to shoot photos straight in front of their subject. Try to find fun and interesting angles to approach the scene. First, attempt from higher positions, and then move lower. A more intriguing photo results from catching the subject in a diagonal or side angle.
Fast moving subjects require special settings to show what the subject actually is. Increase your shutter speed to get better shots. This helps you get clearer shots.
Keep images balanced. For professional looking photographs, take care to balance all of the features of your image. Crop out distracting elements, keep the horizon level, and make sure your subject is properly framed and not in an awkward placement.
Always invest in a protective case for your camera equipment. Most cases of damaged equipment are the result of a photographer who did not properly protect their gear. Look in your local electronics store or camera shop for cases that will suit your needs.
A faster shutter speed is needed when taking photos in low level lighting. This will prevent blurring which happens when you take the picture. For the best results, set the shutter to 1/250th of a second, or at least 1/200th.
Cropping is an easy way to improve your photos. Often you will notice something in the background that can draw attention away from the photo. On some other pictures you may see that you didn't line everything up correctly. You can fix those problems easily by cropping the image later.
As a photographer, you have many methods and techniques at your disposal to improve your pictures. Some people work best with one technique, others with another. That's fine. The tips in this article should give you a good foundation on which to begin taking beautiful pictures.

A UK court has ruled the detention of David Miranda, partner of journalist Glenn Greenwald, for nine hours at Heathrow Airport was "a proportionate measure in the circumstances."
Miranda was detained while carrying top-secret documents which had been leaked by Edward Snowden and which were given to Miranda by Laura Poitras to pass on to Greenwald.
In today's ruling Lord Justice John Laws, sitting with Mr Justice Duncan Ouseley and Mr Justice Peter Openshaw, said: "Its objective was not only legitimate, but very pressing" though they admitted it was "an indirect interference with press freedom."
This ruling will be seen as a litmus test for how far governments such as the UK are allowed to go in terms of treating journalists who expose top-secret policies as criminals.
Miranda has said this is not the end of the road, telling The Intercept website:
"I will appeal this ruling, and keep appealing until the end, not because I care about what the British government calls me, but because the values of press freedom that are at stake are too important to do anything but fight until the end."
Greenwald added that the UK is the only country in the world to define him and Poitras as terrorists as a result of their reporting on the Snowden leaks:
"The journalism Laura and I have done with the Guardian and other major news organisations has spawned international debate and reform, and has been honoured with top journalism awards all over the world, but it is only in the UK where our journalism is considered not just criminal but 'terrorism'," he said in a statement to The Intercept, where is a founding member.

Miranda, a Brazilian national, was detained by British police last August as he passed through the transit lounge of Heathrow airport on his way from meeting Poitras in Berlin to his home in Rio, which he shared with Greenwald.
Arrested under the 200o Terrorism Act, Miranda was held for nine hours - the maximum time the law permits without charge or arrest - and questioned on data he was carrying on his laptop, mobile phone and memory sticks, all of which were confiscated and may be kept for up to seven days.
David Miranda brought a legal challenge against the UK police after it seized his property and the high court granted him a limited injunction to prevent the police "inspecting, copying or sharing" the data stored on the property.
The police were however allowed to examine the data for national security purposes or if they are investigating whether or not Miranda is himself involved in the commission, instigation or preparation of an act of terrorism.
Following analysis of the data found on Miranda's property the Met launched a criminal investigation, claiming they found tens of thousands of classified UK intelligence documents.
According to documents published during the court proceedings, the police in the UK determined that Miranda was subject to the 2000 Terrorism Act as he was "likely to be involved in espionage activity" and was "knowingly carrying material, the release of which would endanger people's lives" and was promoting a "political or ideological cause."

Chinese movie box office boom is an unexpected decline in U.S. stock market center: a mirage and insubstantial objects? Exclusive national industry sector stocks, premarket after hours, ETF, real-time quotes of core tip: one of the main reasons for this decline is the unexpected box office network ticket discounts reduce. The two state – owned industry groups said last year that they would be blacklisted if the online ticketing agent set up a ticket at a price lower than the minimum price set for cinemas and film studios. Reference News Network September 22nd U.S. media reported that the filmmakers are good at whimsy, an illusion. In Chinese, the film industry prosperity is perhaps a illusion a mirage and insubstantial objects. According to the Wall Street journal website reported on September 21st, during the three day holiday this year, China's box office revenue decreased by more than the same period last year by 15%. Is this summer Disasters pile up on one another., the box office is also disappointing. According to Deutsche Bank data, 6-8 month Chinese box office revenue decreased by 4% compared with the same period last year. This means that the box office popularity earlier this year has suddenly changed. In January this year, Goldman Sachs said that China's box office revenue is expected to grow by 30% this year, to $8 billion 600 million, an increase of nearly 50% last year. This year is also Everything is going smoothly. Hongkong comedy star Stephen Chow's "Mermaid" in the country after the release of the crazy 527 million U.S. dollars to become China's highest grossing film ever. Reported that this year's box office is a major cause of the unexpected decline in the intensity of online ticketing discounts. Including the Alibaba group, Tencent Holdings Ltd (referred to as: Tencent Holdings) mainly Chinese tech giants have spent billions of dollars on the development of the connection between users and business entities of the so-called "Online to Offline" service, sale of movie tickets is one of their main battle. Their online ticketing platform generous subsidies to the audience, the audience will be able to buy a minimum of $1.50 movie tickets. According to EntGroup, a research firm, about 60% of people in China now buy movie tickets over the internet. However, the situation has changed, the two state-owned industry group said last year, if the online ticket seller under the theater operators and movie studios set the lowest price ticket, you may be blacklisted. Regulators have also played a role in buying screenings (ghost), which is a common marketing strategy for movie issuers to boost ticket sales by buying a large number of tickets. Reported that at the beginning of this year has been optimistic about the Chinese film industry analysts have become more pessimistic. For example, Nomura earlier this month this year has been the overall Chinese film market growth forecast to 8% from 25%. Reported that before the film industry last year, the prosperity of the stock has been hit by the wind. IMAX Corp. holds a majority stake in IMAX China shares fell 35% compared with December last year. China's richest man Wang Jianlin holdings of China's largest cinema chain Wanda cinema line Limited by Share Ltd's share price has fallen by nearly half in December last year.

Disney Enterprises Inc., Twentieth Century Fox Film Corp., Universal City Studios Productions, Columbia Pictures Industries and Warner Bros Entertainment Inc. on Tuesday filed suit at U.S. District Court in Miami, claiming Hotfile actively encourages users to upload and disseminate copyrighted content.
"Hotfile profits from this theft by charging a monthly fee to users who download content from its servers," the Motion Picture Association of America Inc. said in a statement. "Hotfile also operates an incentive scheme that rewards users for uploading the most popular files — which are almost exclusively copyrighted works. Hotfile profits richly while paying nothing to the studios for their stolen content."
The suit names as defendants Hotfile Corp. and its owner, Anton Titov.
Corbin Fisher's suit names Hotfile, Titov and about 1,000 of its customers, who are said to have engaged in massive copyright infringement by making available 2,400 links to the studio's titles.
That suit also said Hotfile has at least 800 of its films available on its servers traded by a "confederation of intellectual property thieves."
The Corbin Fisher suit also makes charges that Hotfile operates its own affiliate system so that users recruit others to download files, breeding a "massive pyramid" where "veteran copyright infringers recruit new copyright infringers, while all infringers attract recruits to download the pirated intellectual property from which they receive a payment."
The Corbin Fisher suit, filed at the same federal district court in Miami, seeks an injunction and damages against the defendants, as well as to freeze assets in Hotfile's Paypal account.
The mainstream Hollywood studios are seeking statutory damages that provide for up to $150,000 per infringement, as well as other remedies, including injunctive relief.

So we're thinking about pizza obviously, when Chicago comes to mind. Famous for their deep-dish pizza which often is tested against battles with a New York style pizza, the "Windy City" as they call it is home to much more than slices of delicious cheesy masterpieces.
Chicago is located in the state of Illinois and has become the third most populated city in the United States with an estimated 9.8 million people, according to Wikipedia.com. The city is divided into four main areas: Downtown, the North Side, the South Side, and the West Side, all of which are represented on the city flag (one red star for each region).
While many visit Chicago for entertainment, it does hold a number of places worth checking out! Chicago is home to Lincoln Park, one of the world's last FREE zoos and it is also home to the world's largest FREE outdoor food festival – The Taste of Chicago.
So let's go back to where this all started: pizza. A Chicago-style pizza has a crust that is up to three inches tall at the edge and includes loads of cheese and chunky tomato sauce. It is also baked in a round, steel pan that is more similar to a cake or pie pan than a typical pizza pan, often times referring to a pizza as a pie instead as it is also stuffed with yummy ingredients.

Hello! Vanessa here with a cute card using Bundled Up. This adorable penguin is so fun to play with! I didn't use any dies and did no fussy-cutting for this one.
Oh, ok, I had to fussy-cut masks! First, I stamped the hat and the scarf onto a panel of white cardstock. Then I masked them and stamped the penguin. I masked him, too and applied soft blue ink with an ink blending tool. Now I stamped the snowflakes with the same ink onto the inked area. After I had removed the masks, I colored the image with Copics and stamped the sentiment. I adhered a strip of plaid patterned paper to the right corner of the card and adhered the panel.
This little guy makes me smile! I hope you like him, too! Thanks for stopping by today!

The issue with Agritrans is not large versus small farms. It is whether a company largely funded by the government can consider itself private and independent of the government. Farm size is a reflection of the personal wealth of their owners. The Agritrans farm is an abnormality in that the size of the plantation bears no relationship to the private holdings of its owners because it was acquired using government funds in secrecy without the government inviting other bids for agricultural projects. Even though the government has the capacity to inform the public - through a national television company, a radio station, and an official newspaper, The Monitor, it failed to do so.
Jovenel has said that Agritrans will keep 80% of profits, and give 20% as pay to workers. Never has he reported nor has any government official said that the government will keep any part of the profits. Never has the government said that it is providing oversight of this company and monitoring its activities so that it can collect on the money that it has given. Never has any government official qualified the money given to Jovenel as loans to be repaid with or without interest. The fact is that Agritrans cannot be a private company entitled to keep whatever it makes as it was created with government assets. The issue is not large versus small farms but rather do we own it, since we funded it.
Another issue with Agritrans is that its board members and shareholders are not known. The use of public assets brings forth the issue of the rights of the people to know who are the recipients of those assets. Such information helps to make the public aware of nepotism where government officials can use funds to support a company owned by those very same public officials, their family, or close associates. It is not acceptable to gloss over these issues. Companies wishing to remain anonymous should stay clear from public funds and state lands.
As for the argument that Agritrans will help to increase national production, no study of the diversity and quantity of agricultural production in the area has been cited before the displacement of workers who produced nearly all their produce for local production while exporting a small fraction. Arguments about increasing production are prejudicial. They assume without facts that regional food supply will be increased over an unknown baseline even though 70% of that production will be distributed outside the region. The financial incentive to export even more is great as evident by the 150 million dollars Jovenel has presented as either profits or contractual agreements for exports.
Moreover an increase in Agritrans' or Jovenel's banana production would not necessarily translate into a meaningful increase in national production because the banana plantation functions in a Tax Free Zone. Future Haitian governments will be incapable of taxing what Agritrans ships overseas. The bananas are produced using government funds but are then sheltered from government taxes while generating revenue for its shareholders. The government of Haiti has not presented itself as one of those shareholders.
As for job creation, it makes no sense that mechanized farming would lead to net job creation. Nowhere has mechanized farming done this. Yet Jovenel speaking for Agritrans brags of creating 3,000 jobs. Even if we were to accept this self reported number, Agritrans and the government has not divulged how many families have been displaced from their land and from "State" land. Total job creation makes no sense when we do not know the sum total of people displaced.
These are some of the problems that are grossly wrong with Agritrans. It is not an issue of large versus small farms. The Agritrans deals are not public, we can only go by the worrisome statements made by the newly created company's spokesperson. They allow for the taking of government funds, public and private lands, while functioning in an area outside the control of government- A Tax Free Zone. The issue is not small farms versus plantations, it is that Agritrans appears to be a company financed or created by the Haitian government, declared incorporated by Presidential decree just one week before the reopening of parliament, but strategically divorced from the government to give wide latitude to its secret shareholders, and this is to put it mildly. All of this is done while paying Agritrans workers the minimum wage of about 3 dollars daily, less than HASCO paid in the 1930's. This low salary is paid after stripping the inhabitants from the land and giving them a wage that effectively locks them in poverty. So the problem is not and issue of large vs small farms. It is an issue of propping up a private company using public assets while the company gets to keep the lion's share of the profits in a government Tax Free Zone.

Recently some days back I noticed something really strange while I was using windows 8 on my dell laptop, when I tried to shutdown the machine it did nothing, I was on desktop and I pressed Alt+F4 to bring the shutdown menu and then selected shutdown but nothing happened irrespective of how many times I tried, I also tried Restart, Hibernate etc.
After some searching I found out some fixes for this problem but you will need to follow different methods as this problem can occur due to different reasons on different windows 8 machines, sometimes it could be due to the faulty USB drivers or over sensitive USB mouse as well which is configured to wake up the computer from sleep. Following are some methods you can choose to do shutdown when windows 8 does not shutdown or restart or even does not enter the hibernate mode.
Add Shutdown Option For Power Button
This is to make sure that power acts in the right way when you are running windows 8. For this Open Power Options by swiping in from the right edge of the screen, tapping Search (or if you're using a mouse, pointing to the upper-right corner of the screen, moving the mouse pointer down, and then clicking Search), entering Control Panel in the search box, tapping or clicking Apps, and then tapping or clicking Control Panel. In Control Panel, enter Power in the search box, and then press Enter. Tap or click Choose what the power button does and under Shutdown settings, choose the options you want to add, you should select shutdown here.
Go To Desktop in Windows 8 and Press Alt+F4
If you are getting confused with the windows 8 modern UI and some how the power option to shutdown the machine is not working there, then you can try going to desktop and then press Alt+F4 to bring the shutdown options and then you can select the shutdown from there.
Some Apps Not Letting Windows 8 To Shutdown
Many times in windows when you want to shutdown, there are apps and programs which are running in background or foreground which are not letting windows close the tasks and cause the blockage in the process of windows to shutdown, restart and hibernate.
1. Go to Control Panel >> Performance, Information and Tools.
2. On the left pane click Advanced Tools.
On the upper part of the window, just before "View advanced information about your computer's performance" there is a small section which, in case something is wrong with windows 8, should report the following message: "Programs are causing Windows to shut down slowly" – here you will get to know which programs are causing hindrance in windows shutdown, you can later kill these apps and process associated to these programs with task manager.
Force Shutdown Windows 8 With Command Prompt
If none of the above methods work in your case, you can forcefully issue a shutdown command for windows 8 which will make windows 8 shutdown instantly, you will first need to launch command prompts press windows + r and type 'cmd' [without quotes] and press enter.
Now type the following command and press enter, this way you will be able to do a force shutdown
shutdown /f /s /t 0
You can also create a desktop shortcut for the same for future use.

Information in this article may not be canonical to the storyline of the games or any other Sonic continuity.
The Chaos Devil is a character that appears in the Sonic the Hedgehog comic series and its spin-offs, and the Mega Man comic series, published by Archie Comics. It is a gelatinous monster created by Dr. Eggman and Dr. Wily. It is a merging of the ancient water elemental Chaos and the concept of Dr. Wily's creation, the Yellow Devil.
Dr. Eggman and Dr. Wily, seeking to create another line of defense for their Wily Egg battle station, came upon another idea combining concepts from both their universes. Capturing Chaos, they merged it with a Devil Core to create the Chaos Devil.[1] It was later accidentally released by Rouge the Bat during her mission to bring down the Wily Egg from the inside. The monster was swiftly kept tame by Metal Sonic and Bass but not before it was able to trap Rouge inside its body. Once the monster was moved back into it's containment tank, the captured Rouge was taken to be roboticized.[2]
Despite the upset, the doctors took the encounter as an indication that the Chaos Devil was fully functional. It later appeared again to engage Sonic and Mega Man as they made their way deeper into the Wily Egg, but was engaged by the heroic robot Duo. After a heated battle, Duo freed Chaos from the Devil Core and destroyed it, and the pair were then caught up in the effects of the Super Genesis Wave.[1][3]
Powers and abilities
The Chaos Devil possessed many of the abilities of Chaos and the Yellow Devil, and was capable of shifting its watery form in various ways. These included forming limbs or even additional mouths on its form, and protecting its Devil Core eye from attacks.
- The fist the Chaos Devil threw during its battle with Duo, after Sonic and Mega Man left, closely resembles Perfect Chaos's head.
- The Chaos Devil played the same role as the Yellow Devil in various Mega Man games and in the comics as defender of the evil doctors' fortress, a role that in the Sonic games/comics has previously been associated with Silver Sonic v1.0 and Silver Sonic v3.0.

Root Canal Therapy
When bacteria invade the inner layers of a tooth, the pulp (soft tissue made up of nerves and blood vessels) can become infected. Most commonly, infection results from a deep cavity that facilitates bacteria through the enamel and dentin layers of the tooth. When tooth pulp becomes inflamed or infected due to decay, root canal therapy is often necessary to save the tooth and keep the mouth healthy.
Symptoms of an infected tooth include:
- Sensitivity to hot or cold temperatures
- Pain when biting or putting pressure on the tooth
- Throbbing or severe tooth pain
- Swelling around the tooth
- A bad taste in the mouth
*If you think you may have an infected tooth, set an appointment so that Dr. Woodburn can give you an exam, make a diagnosis, and render the proper treatment.
Call 806-358-7471 to schedule your appointment today!
*We can process most major dental insurance plans and we can also help patients with financing options!

Occasionally we are lucky enough to know a friend or family member who has a good DSLR camera and may have had some experience with photography at family parties before.
So they would do a pretty good job photographing a wedding right?
Not necessarily. . .
Would you trust a friend who occasionally arranges flowers in a vase to organise the bouquet will carry down the wedding aisle? Or a friend who knows a litte about sewing to create an incredible wedding gown?
Wedding photography can only be captured once and it is the photographs that are taken on the day that you will re-visit over and over for years to come, to remind you of your special day.
Professional photographers are equipped to capture each stage of the day. They have learnt how to pose images of wedding couples, to capture images quickly andprfoessionally, and know how to tackle tight spaces and tricky weather conditions.
So, in knowing and appreciating the importance of good wedding photography, you are basically deciding to value every moment of your wedding day.
How do I know if I am choosing a really good wedding photographer?
Talk to the photographer about your wedding day and your needs before deciding. Ask yourself if they seem to genuinely care about your day. Are they flexible with their packages and can you relate to them. You should be able to view images on their website to gain an appreciation of their style. I would describe my photography style as a mixture of classic, artistic and candid.
Are your wedding photography packages flexible?
All wedding photography packages can be altered to suit your needs. After an initial meeting where you can view some samples of albums and products we can then refine the wedding package.
Why don't most wedding photographers provide couples with digital negatives and you do?
Professional photographers choose to use a professional photographic labs to print their images. This way they maintain a high level of print quality, thus representing the photographs accurately and to show their work in the best possible way.
At Bibo Photography we would love to print your images for you, but if you would prefer to do it yourself, that is fine by us too. We believe that it is your choice to do so. They are your wedding photos after all and we trust that you will use and enjoy the images appropriately.
What is the benefit of having the wedding photographs printed by Bibo Photography, rather than doing it myself?
Bibo Photography can monitor and maintain a high standard of printing if you order images through us. All of our images are printed at a professional photographic lab that uses state of the art printing machines and archival quality papers. If you choose to print the images at a regular lab the image quality may differ.
What cameras do you use?
We use Nikon DSLR cameras (digital) with high quality professional lenses. All of our equipment is professional photographic equipment.
How do we book?
The first step is to check our availability for your wedding date. You can secure our services by paying a booking fee of $750 towards the package of your choice, within 14 days after asking us to hold a date for you.
When do we have to pay for the wedding photography package?
Two payments are required before the wedding day. The booking fee and a final payment 6 weeks before your wedding day. These payments can be made either by cash or direct deposit into our bank account.
What is your cancellation policy?
If you cancel your wedding photography booking, all payments shall be returned except the non-refundable booking fee. If your wedding is to be rescheduled, the entire money can be used to secure an alternative, mutually agreeable wedding date.
Do you travel to most areas?
Absolutely. We enjoy traveling to new locations. We do not charge travel expenses to most areas, however if we need to travel to a regional area traveling costs and accommodation fees may apply. Weddings in Malbourne and Ballarat and areas nears these locations are covered within our usual travel time.
How long does it take to see our wedding photographs?
To individually edit each of your wedding images it usually takes between 10 - 12 weeks. Album creation takes an additional 6-8 weeks after choosing your selected images. Many clients images are delivered much earlier than this and it is entirely dependent on the workload at the time.
How many photographs will be taken on our wedding day?
All packages include unlimited images, we believe that capping the amount of images would stifle our creativity. A typical wedding, with a five hour coverage would include 700 + images.
If you have any further questions please don't hesitate to contact us.
