1 Cancer Cancer is caused by abnormal cells that grow quickly. It is normal for your body to replace old cells with new ones, but cancer cells grow too fast. Some cancer cells may form growths called tumors. All tumors increase in size, but some tumors grow quickly, others slowly. Types of Tumors Sometimes tumors are not cancerous. These are called benign tumors. They are made up of cells much like those of healthy tissue. This kind of tumor stays in one area and does not spread to healthy tissues and organs. Cancer tumors are also called malignant tumors. Cancer from these tumors spread through the blood and lymph systems to other parts of the body. When cancer spreads, it is called metastasis. Cancer cells travel through the body from the tumor, called the primary site, to other parts of the body. Types of Cancer There are many kinds of cancers. Carcinoma is the most common type of cancer. Lung, colon, breast and ovarian cancers are often this type of cancer. Sarcoma is found in bone, cartilage, fat and muscle. Lymphoma begins in the lymph nodes of the body s immune system. They include Hodgkin s and Non-Hodgkin s Lymphomas. 1
2 Cáncer El cáncer es causado por células anormales que se reproducen rápidamente. Es normal que su cuerpo reemplace las células antiguas por células nuevas; el problema es que las células cancerosas se reproducen demasiado rápido. Algunas células cancerosas pueden desarrollar formaciones llamadas tumores. Todos los tumores aumentan de tamaño, pero algunos crecen rápidamente y otros más lento. Tipos de tumores En ocasiones, los tumores no son cancerosos. Éstos se llaman tumores benignos. Se componen de células muy similares a las del tejido sano. Este tipo de tumor permanece en un área y no se propaga a los tejidos y órganos sanos. A los tumores cancerosos también se los llama tumores malignos. El cáncer de estos tumores se propaga por la sangre y el sistema linfático a otras partes del cuerpo. La propagación del cáncer se llama metástasis. Las células cancerosas viajan por el cuerpo desde el tumor, el que se denomina punto primario, a otras partes del cuerpo. Tipos de cáncer Existen varios tipos de cáncer. El carcinoma es el tipo de cáncer más común. Normalmente, los cánceres de pulmón, colon, seno y ovarios son de este tipo. El sarcoma se encuentra en huesos, cartílagos, grasa y músculos. El linfoma comienza en los ganglios linfáticos del sistema inmunológico del cuerpo. Entre ellos se encuentran los linfomas de Hodgkin y los no hodgkinianos. Cancer. Spanish. 1
3 Leukemia starts in the blood cells that grow in the bone marrow and are found in large numbers in the bloodstream Signs of Cancer Signs of cancer depend on the type and location of the tumor. With some cancers, there may not be any signs until the tumor is large. Common signs include: Feeling very tired Weight loss that occurs without knowing why Fever, chills or night sweats Lack of hunger Physical discomfort or pain Coughing, shortness of breath or chest pain Diarrhea, constipation or blood in the stool When cancer is found, tests will be done to see if the cancer has spread to other parts of your body. Scans, x-rays and blood tests may be needed. Your Care Your doctor will decide what care is needed based on: The type of cancer How fast the cancer is growing Whether the cancer has spread to other parts of your body Your age and overall health The most common cancer treatments are: Surgery to remove the tumor and nearby tissue Radiation in controlled amounts to shrink or destroy the tumor and cancer cells 2
4 La leucemia comienza en las células sanguíneas que se reproducen en la médula ósea y que se encuentran en grandes cantidades en el torrente sanguíneo. Signos de cáncer Los signos de cáncer dependen del tipo y la ubicación del tumor. Con algunos tipos de cáncer, es posible que no se presenten signos hasta que el tumor sea grande. Entre los signos comunes se encuentran: sensación de cansancio; pérdida de peso que ocurre sin saber el motivo; fiebre, escalofríos o sudoración nocturna; falta de apetito; molestias físicas o dolor; tos, dificultad para respirar o dolor en el pecho; diarrea, estreñimiento o deposiciones con sangre. Cuando se detecta cáncer, se realizan exámenes para saber si se ha propagado a otras partes del cuerpo. Es posible que se deban realizar tomografías, radiografías y exámenes de sangre. Cuidados Su médico decidirá el cuidado que necesite basándose en: el tipo de cáncer; la rapidez con que se reproduce el cáncer; si el cáncer se ha propagado a otras partes de su cuerpo; su edad y estado de salud general. Los tratamientos más comunes contra el cáncer son: cirugía para extirpar el tumor y el tejido circundante; radioterapia en cantidades controladas para reducir el tamaño del tumor y de las células cancerosas o destruirlos;.

Electric vehicles (EVs) represent the future of global transportation with demand expected to grow at an annual rate of 15.6% over the next five years, presenting opportunities for lithium producers.
Data and analytics company GlobalData forecasts that demand for lithium, a key ingredient in lithium-ion batteries used in EVs, will more than double from 26,700 tonnes in 2018 to 58,300 tonnes in 2022.
Tesla leading the way
Most vehicle manufacturers are advancing along the path of EV production with specialist Tesla Inc (NASDAQ:TSLA) leading the way.
GlobalData says the CAGR of 15.6% is being driven primarily by the growing popularity of EVs across countries in the Asia-Pacific (APAC) and Europe.
It further reveals that China will lead the global EV market with more than 50% share and grow three times as fast as the US over the next five years.
In 2017, 1.1 million new EVs were sold globally, of which China accounted for more than 50%, followed by the US with 17.3%.
In Europe, Norway accounted for 5.4% of global sales, followed by Germany with 4.8% and the UK with 4.1%.
Increased lithium consumption
The demand will result in increased consumption of lithium and support investment in mine expansions across Chile and Australia as well as new mine development in Chile, Australia, Argentina and North America.
A number of ASX-listed companies are active in this space, including Lithium Australia NL (ASX:LIT), European Lithium Ltd (ASX:EUR), Piedmont Lithium Ltd (ASX:PLL), Anson Resources Ltd (ASX:ASN) and Argosy Minerals Limited (ASX:AGY).
Others include Neometals Ltd (ASX:NMT), Core Exploration Ltd (ASX:CXO), Galan Lithium Ltd (ASX:GLN), Latin Resources Ltd (ASX:LSR) and Sayona Mining Ltd (ASX:SYA).
EV use encouraged
GlobalData's senior mining analyst Vinneth Bajaj said, "Several national governments are encouraging the adaption of EVs by providing various tax incentives and subsidies to the manufacturers and end users.
"Additionally, efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions have led to much technological advancement in EVs and made them a viable and safe alternative to traditional vehicles."
Over the next five years, global EV sales are expected to increase to more than 3-million vehicles, primarily driven by APAC and Europe.
EV sales in the US, Norway, Germany and Japan are expected to grow at CAGRs of 9.2%, 7%, 8.2% and 8.2% to reach 380,000, 107,000, 100,000, and 99,000 vehicles, respectively, in 2022.
Largest increase in China
These numbers include battery electric vehicles (BEV) and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEV).
Bajaj said, "The largest increase will be in China, which is expected to boost its EV sales from 579,000 in 2017 to 1.5 million by 2022.
"Current government policies and subsidies are making China a lucrative market for industry investments due to which the country's EV market is poised to grow three times as fast as the US during the outlook period."

Departure will remove vitally important safeguardsby Schona Jolly / April 19, 2018 / Leave a comment
Equality and the right to non-discrimination is a cornerstone principle within a democratic society. Unlike most democratic jurisdictions, the UK does not have a written constitution which safeguards equality. Although Britain has a history of implementing and developing anti-discrimination legislation which pre-dates its entry into the European Union, the EU has acted as both a driver and a guarantor of that right over the lifetime of our membership. When the UK leaves the European Union, we will no longer have the equivalent of any constitutional right to equality.
Equality is one of the general principles of EU law and has grown up from being a means of achieving market integration to becoming a social policy pursued as an end in itself—it is now entrenched, for example, as a standalone provision in Article 21 of the Charter of Fundamental Rights (which the government proposes to expunge with the EU Withdrawal Bill). For over 40 years, our domestic right to equality and non-discrimination has been developed and underpinned by this EU protection, shored up by the broad interpretation and influence of the Court of Justice (now the CJEU) in Luxembourg.
Once Britain leaves the EU, there is no domestic equivalent of that EU statutory floor below which our rights are not permitted to fall. There is no codified constitution which provides such a right: The Equality Act 2010, whilst a strong and largely self-sufficient piece of legislation (although notably one which also consolidates EU law), does not have constitutional status.
The 2010 Act brings together separate strands of equality legislation. Before the referendum, Leavers sought to calm nerves by arguing there would be no rollback on rights in a post-Brexit Britain because Britain had its own anti-discrimination framework, which predated the EU. At best, this was a serious misrepresentation. Even early on, some legislation was passed in the expectation of joining the then- European Community. Brexit supporters often cited the Equal Pay Act 1970 but they failed to mention that it was at least partly driven by what would then be the third attempt at entry into the (then) European Communities.
"One-off promises not to encroach on rights are not enough"
Perhaps more importantly, this picture of a self-reliant Equal Britain missed out the significant influence that the…

Stereotyping bunniesPosted by Rachel under Spay & Neuter , Volunteers' Bunnies , who has been Adopted!
[4] Comments
The following conversation occured between one of my viola da gamba teachers, we will refer to her as J, and myself. (This is not my other teacher who I sometimes talk about, who has twelve rabbits) J is a bit uninformed about bunnies, but, like many other people, had a bunch in a hutch in her backyard as a child.
…it is the middle of my lesson which is at my home…J looks over to see that our bunny abode condo now has an extra level so that there is a enough space for Eve AND Dorian, our new bun…
J: Wow, it looks like you have the 'bunny hotel' over here!!
R: Well, yes, that is Dorian, he is our new little boy, so they need more space…
J: Oh! How cute!
R: Yes, I think we are finally set now that we have two bunnies, we can't put anymore in this tiny apartment, after all.
J: Well, you can just let them do the rest…you know…they will make lots more bunnies for you!!
R: No, they can't. They are both fixed. We don't want more bunnies, there are plenty that don't have homes.
J: I guess it is good that they are fixed, I didn't know you could do that. I guess they won't be 'breeding like rabbits.' Oh well.
UGH!! This is one of SO MANY conversations I have had like this. People tell me, since I have a male and female rabbit, that they will make lots more rabbits. In fact, when we JUST had Eve, people said that too (as if she could make more rabbits without a male–did these people take Sex Ed.?) People always say we should LET them make baby bunnies because bunnies LOVE MATING!! And bunnies are happiest when they are MATING.
Ok, how many other people have had conversations like the one above? Why are rabbits stereotyped as sex-craving-lunatics that need to mate all the time? Yes, I know bunnies reproduce quickly, but so many people don't know that things can be done about this, namely, spaying and neutering your rabbit. In the meantime, I will continue to be annoyed at conversations stereotyping my sweet, loving bunnies!

Yeah, I think everyone to ever own a bunny has had this sort of conversation. And while I think we can thank people like Mssr. Fibonacchi, Walt Disney, Beatrix Potter, and Hugh Hefner for the stereotypes, in the end, we are the ones who have to combat them. How many times have you told someone you had a bunny and instantly been given some joke line about tossing a couple carrots in the cage each morning and then heading to work? Yeah, bunnies are stereotyped.
Seriously when you think about it, we have living examples of how accurate these stereotypes can be sometimes. Just take the current rabbit rescue in Reno, NV as an example; the rabbits there, being allowed to reproduce unchecked as they would never be in the wild where there are predators, were a living example of the stereotypes. But at the same time, the ongoing media coverage as rescuers are sorting, spaying, neutering, and euthanizing the resulting litters of bunnies is a wonderful way for people to see the breaking of the stereotype. The media is continuing to cover this story and show how these rabbits are being prevented from reproducing, how some of the litters born have to be euthanized because of lethal inbreeding, how some of the adult rabbits in the colony have been treated for sever injuries from fights had in trying to assert dominance and reproduce. So while the stereotypes are out there, so are we, and so are the examples of what real bunny life is like.

I've had this too. The response that my buns are fixed is usually met with disappointment: "so no baby bunnies?" Of course I explain how so many end up at shelters and then are euthenized. Not sure if it sinks in though.
And the rabbit rescue in Reno is just mind-boggling…
Jessica Says:
May 12th, 2006 at 7:45 am
When I tell people that I have three buns they always ask if they are the same sex or make some comment about having lots more soon. I laugh it off and say oh no. Two of them used to be boys and one used to be a girl, but they are all altered now. Before they can get a word in edge wise I go into the benefits of spaying and nuetering and explain how many buns our rescue has in foster care and all the ones in other rescues and shelters and about Easter buns and anything else I can think to rattle off. I always for a look of amazement and wonder from people who just didn't know and hopefully will retain a little of what I told them.
They have the reputation for a reason (ie. Reno)but that is what we are trying to change with rescuing and spaying and neutering. Keep spreading the word!

Hello, i have just rescued 4 rabbits 2 male and 2 female. Both females are pregnant and have been constantly pregnant for a year solid for what i have heard. But i have also been told they stay in the same hutch to have their babies, is this normal? As i always thought they would need their own space. Do they need to be brought in when they have them? From what i understand they have been outside all year round with or without kits. Can some1 please help me with this? As i dont want to upset the girls by seperating them but also dont want to cause any babies getting hurt. All 4 will be getting neutered as soon as babies are rehomed and they are kept in 2 sepearate big hutches outside.

Every four years, states are required to review their child support guidelines to ensure that the guidelines are providing appropriate support obligations and to analyze case data on the application of and deviations from the guidelines. Since 1997, the University of Maryland has been asked by the Maryland Child Support Enforcement Administration (CSEA) to conduct the case-level review portion of this quadrennial review. The reports listed here summarize our findings.
Reports are free of charge, and may be downloaded from this page.
Actual Earnings and Payment Outcomes among Obligors with Imputed Income
(August 2018) Natalie Demyan & Letitia Passarella
|This report examines the actual earnings and payment outcomes of obligors whose incomes were imputed to full-time minimum wage (FTMW) for purposes of establishing a support order. These outcomes are compared to obligors whose incomes were not imputed to this amount. Additional comparisons are made with other low-income obligors whose actual incomes were used during the establishment process or whose incomes were imputed to an amount less than FTMW.
Do Deviations from Child Support Guidelines Improve Payment Compliance?
(March 2018) Natalie Demyan & Letitia Passarella
|In Maryland, about one quarter of child support orders deviate from the guidelines-recommended amount. Ideally, these deviations encourage obligors to make regular payments, but there has been no prior research on this topic. In this brief, we found that deviations appear to have a small but positive influence on payment compliance.
Maryland Child Support Guidelines: 2011 - 2014 Case-Level Review
(November 2016) Lauren Hall, Natalie Demyan, Letitia Passarella
|This report examines a random sample of IV-D child support orders established or modified between 2011 and 2014. Consistent with previous reviews, most (70.7%) order amounts were based on Maryland's child support guidelines. However, many of the orders that deviated from the guidelines-recommended amount did not list a reason for the deviation.
Maryland Child Support Guidelines: Case Level Review, 2007-2010
(November 2012) Lauren Hall, Hae Jung Kim, Letitia Logan Passarella, Catherine E. Born
|Federal law as well as Maryland law requires a quadrennial, case-level review of the application of quantitative child support guidelines when establishing or modifying support obligations. This report reviews a random sample of child support cases with orders established or modified in calendar years 2007 through 2010. Most order amounts (70.3%) were based on the child support guidelines-recommended amount.
Child Support Guidelines: Case-Level Review
(November 2008) Correne Saunders, Danielle Young, Pamela Caudill Ovwigho, Catherine E. Born
|According to federal law and regulations, states must use a standardized approach to establish child support order amounts and review their approach or guidelines at least every four years. Today's report presents findings obtained from review of a random sample of Maryland child support cases in which support orders were established or modified in calendar years 2002 - 2006.

Sawatdee! Welcome to Thailand. Your included transfer brings you to our hotel, where we meet our Local Leader. Tonight, enjoy dinner with your group at a local restaurant. (d)
Begin the day with a Chao Phraya River cruise to explore the famous canals — which seem a world away from the chaotic streets of the capital. Pay a visit to the magnificent Grand Palace and the Temple of the Emerald Buddha, which highlight the grand architectural traditions of Thailand. (b)
Travel north to Kanchanaburi. There will be plenty of stops along the way to stretch your legs, including a break for lunch at a local restaurant. Located at the junction of the Khwae Noi and Khwae Yai rivers, Kanchanaburi is home to the infamous "Bridge on the River Kwai." Tonight, explore the Kanchanaburi Night Market with your Local Leader to taste all the local varieties of Thai food. (b, d)
This morning we learn of Kanchanaburi's history with a moving visit to the Hellfire Pass Memorial, built to honor the Allied POWs and Asian conscripts who died while constructing the Thai-Burma Death Railway. Boarding at Nam Tok station, take a ride along the Khwae Noi River and travel over the original wooden viaduct. This afternoon, you may choose to explore Erawan Waterfalls. (b)
Optional Tour: Erawan Waterfalls - $100 per person
Visit and explore the Erawan Waterfalls, a series of seven waterfalls located 90-minutes outside Kanchanaburi.
Today we head to Sukhothai. Upon arrival, visit the Sukhothai Historical Park — a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The religious art and architecture of the Sukhothai era are the most classic of Thai styles. The park contains the remains of 21 historic sites, with awe-inspiring Buddha images and ponds filled with stunning lotus flowers. Enjoy a home-cooked dinner at the end of the day. (b, d)
Our private coach takes us north to the H'mong Hills. En route, stop in Lampang — considered by some as the last paradise in Thailand. Here, we visit Friends of the Asian Elephant, the first hospital in the world established to care for sick and abused elephants. We arrive this afternoon at H'mong Lodge – a tranquil experience in a picturesque valley surrounded by stunning natural landscapes. Pack a warm sweater as the weather will be mild and cool year-round due to the lofty mountain locale. We spend the evening with the locals, enjoying a barbecue dinner and cultural performance by the H'mong people. (b, d)
We travel today to the most vibrant city in northern Thailand, Chiang Mai. The "Rose of the North" boasts famous temples, dazzling beauty and welcoming locals. This afternoon, a cooking class teaches us the intricacies of Thai cooking before we get to savor our creations. (b, d)
Explore Chiang Mai with a cycling tour through the old city: mingle with monks, explore the flea market, sample northern Thai cuisine and visit ancient temples. Afterward, head off to explore the famous temple complex of Doi Suthep. Tonight, a farewell dinner at a local restaurant and the Chiang Mai Night Market caps off an amazing adventure. (b, l, d)

Adventure is better together. With private groups as small as 6, enjoy the freedom and flexibility of an exclusive departure, just for your crew! Rest assured you'll get the best of small group travel in a big way, plus the security and peace of mind of traveling with a brand backed by AAA.
The official currency of Thailand is the baht (THB). The most convenient and cheapest way to obtain local currency is via ATMs which are available in most towns and cities. Foreign currency notes that are old, torn or faded can be very difficult to exchange. Clean bills in small denominations are most useful. The use of credit cards is restricted, mainly to major hotels and more upmarket shops and shopping centers.
You should consult your doctor for up-to-date medical travel information or for any necessary vaccinations before departure. We recommend that you carry a first aid kit as well as any personal medical requirements as they may not easily be obtained at the locations on this trip. Please ensure that you are adequately prepared.
Dengue fever occurs in Thailand, and is particularly common during the rainy season (November-March in Koh Samui and the south-east of the Thai peninsula and May-October in the rest of Thailand, including Phuket), peaking in July and August. There is no vaccination or specific treatment available for dengue fever.
Malaria can be contracted throughout the year in rural areas, particularly near the borders with Cambodia, Laos and Myanmar. Speak to your doctor about preventative medication if you are concerned about malaria.
Other mosquito borne illnesses, such as Japanese encephalitis also occur in some areas.
Always take preventative measures to protect yourself against mosquitoes such as wearing long clothing, using repellent and being indoors particularly around dusk and dawn.
There have been reports of transmission of the mosquito-borne Zika virus in this region and we advise all travelers to protect themselves from mosquito bites. Given possible transmission of the disease to unborn babies, and taking a very cautious approach, we recommend all women who are pregnant or trying to get pregnant to consult with their doctors before booking their trip.
Bangkok and other Thai cities experience high levels of air pollution, which may aggravate bronchial, sinus or asthma conditions. These can be particularly high between the months of December and February. Smoke haze, which usually occurs across parts of north and north-east Thailand during March to April, can also aggravate these conditions.
While travelling with us you'll experience the vast array of wonderful food available in the world. Your group leader will be able to suggest restaurants to try during your trip. To give you the maximum flexibility in deciding where, what and with whom to eat, generally not all meals are included in the trip price. This also gives you more budgeting flexibility. As a rule our groups tend to eat together to enable you to taste a larger variety of dishes and enjoy each other's company. There's no obligation to do this though.
One of the most popular take away foods in the world, you'll have a chance to try authentic Thai food, local and fresh, throughout this trip. For vegans and vegetarians, you'll need to look out for ingredients like shrimp paste (often in curry sauces), fish sauce, dried shrimp and cooked egg added to stir fries and soups.
Visas are the responsibility of the individual traveler. Entry requirements can change at any time, so it's important that you check for the latest information. Please visit the relevant consular website of the country or countries you're visiting for detailed and up-to-date visa information specific to your nationality. Your consultant will also be happy to point you in the right direction with acquiring visas. Visas can take several weeks to process, so familiarize yourself with any requirements as soon as you have booked your trip to allow for processing time.
Travel insurance is compulsory for all our trips. We require that, at a minimum, you are covered for medical expenses including emergency repatriation. We strongly recommend that the policy also covers personal liability, cancellation, curtailment and loss of luggage and personal effects. Please ask your travel agent or Club Adventures team member for insurance options at time of booking.
Our team of travel specialists and local contacts have curated some of the best, most exclusive and authentic experiences, restaurants and accommodations in Thailand to truly immerse yourself in a way that wouldn't be possible in larger groups or just on your own.

Zik, the Owelle of Onitsha
New Nigeria newspaper (NN): Before I begin to ask you questions on your manifesto, I want to touch on one more thing. In both his network and West German television interview, the Head of State [General Olusegun Obasanjo] condemned all old politicians. He said the old politicians are responsible for our ills. Do you agree?
ZIK: With respect, I don't. I feel that his speech writers or whoever is responsible for the final draft of his speech, misconceived the whole idea by generalizing. If he has said that many politicians, or some politicians he would be correct but he made a sweeping generalization. I don't feel I am a saint or perfect, but if you study my history in the last 30 years of this country's political development, you will find that most of the things I stood for, which my opponents opposed are the basis of what the present Federal Military Government has endorsed, and which is the basis of the new constitution.
Now, how can you turn round now to say that all of us are responsible? Let me give you examples. In 1945, the Richard's Constitution was promulgated. I opposed the division of Nigeria into three parts. I felt that regionalism was not in the interest of Nigeria and that it would lead to provincialism and parochialism.
It means that we began to think in terms of our region and not of one Nigeria.
Then, I coined the concept of one Nigeria and the slogan 'One Nigeria'. But is that not what we fought for in the civil war and is it not the basis of our new constitution?
Well, if in 1945 my contemporaries felt that I was wrong and in 1949 conference at Ibadan, this Richard's Constitution was endorsed and my party submitted a minority report which was brushed aside and 30 years later, the concept is found to be correct, don't you think it is unfair to judge those of us who fought 30 years ago for one Nigeria with those who oppose One Nigeria?
NN: If I may take you on. The principle of what you supported is being vindicated alright. But what actually happened in practice? People say that NCNC was vehemently opposed to the creation of what are now the Cross River and Rivers States. In other words there seems to be a contradiction between principles and practice.
ZIK: That was propaganda. It is wrong. The NCNC supported the creation of Calabar States, Ogoja State and Rivers State but not to lump the three together, because if you do that you will have permanent minorities. Again on the question of secession. In 1953 the NPC under the leadership of my good friend, the late Sardauna, threatened to secede from the federation unless their 6-point proposals were adhered to. I had to use personal diplomacy. We had been personal friends since 1940. So, I saw Sir Ahmadu Bello and prevailed upon him that the unity of this country was greater than himself and myself and the other people too helped so that the North shifted grounds and agreed and so the country was saved. That was in 1953.
Again, however, when the 1954 constitution conference started, my good friend, Chief Obafemi Awolowo tabled a motion to the effect that in the new constitution, provision should be made that any state which feels like seceding should do so. I was opposed to it and said 'no' and said that once we have a federation, we are indivisible and perpetual. That was when we began to use that expression – 'The Indivisibility and perpetuity of the federation' – and that to secede would amount to treason. And so, a debate ensued.
The Secretary of State then was Oliver Littleton, later Lord Chandos and he was very much interested and that was his first time in saying that the people of African descent were people actually debating at a high level. So a full day was given to Chief Awolowo to make his points. He spoke brilliantly as a lawyer. He made his points why secession should be incorporated in the constitution. He cited the case of the Soviet Union which is a federation, and that secession is written there so that any state in the Soviet Union can secede at will.
He also cited the case of Western Australia and eventually he finished his case and was applauded. We adjourned. The next day, I had to reply. I availed myself of the opportunity to, well, demolish the arguments of my friend and I cited the case of United States which based its constitution on that of the Swiss Confederation. That is Switzerland. I pointed out a case, I think, that of Texas versus White, where Mr. Salmon Chase, the Chief Justice laid down the principle – he was really an arbiter – that the union was intended to be perpetual and indivisible and that any attempt to divide the union by secession was treasonable.
The North (NPC) supported Action Group. The question was then: Should we have secession? The Colonial Office came to our rescue. You know, the usual principle of Britain – 'divide and rule' (laughs) but this time, it was in our favour. So, the colonial office backed us. Lord Chandos said that on the face of the arguments before him it would be suicidal to incorporate secession in our constitution and that is why we have section 86 in our constitution that if any region or state should secede, then it will be an act of treason and that was what led to this war, because Col. Ojukwu seceded and so violated the constitution.
Now, if in 1954 I, as a politician fought against secession and won against Chief Awolowo and others who were in favour of secession, don't you see that the Head of State won't be fair to me in saying that the politicians of pre-1966 were responsible for the downfall of the republic?
NN: But if I can take you on again, perhaps one can say here too that there was disparity between principles and practice because quite a lot of people say you played a prominent role in Biafra.
ZIK: Yes. I played a prominent role in Biafra for the unity of the country in order to restore peace and bring about unity of the country. That's the role I played. I advised Ojukwu. I said well look, you have declared secession. What we should do is to get the elder statesmen and women of the nation to reconcile you and Gowon. I said by declaring secession, you get so many people who do not believe you to remain there. You see all of us were interned. As we were interned then, we couldn't express our own views as we see it because, he made Decree Number 5 which vested absolute powers in himself and if you were against his views, it then constituted an act of subversion and the penalty was death by shooting. Well, it was a war-time measure and that is understandable. So, I advised him. I said go to the conference table and iron out your differences. Allow elder statesmen and elder stateswomen to bring the two of you to the conference table and settle this matter so that there will no more be civil war and the country may be united. He agreed. But Gowon was advised by the Ministry of External Affairs to insist on pre-conditions. That is that before he could negotiate with the secessionists, that they must accept certain terms; accept the 12-state structure and all. So, it was quite obvious that the Federal Government wanted Biafra to come to the conference table with their hands tied and their feet tied. But they won't be free agents. That was the diplomatic mistake on the part of the Federal Government. So, when they did that, then Lt- Col. Ojukwu told me, "How can I go to the conference table based on these ultimatums?"
Still I advised Ojukwu to go to the OAU and ask them to use their good offices to settle the dispute and that we should avoid loss of lives. He accepted my advice in good faith. Then he said, 'Now, you have some heads of state in Africa who are your friends, would you mind going to appeal to them to use their good offices so that the Nigerian civil war could be an item on the agenda for OAU summit in Kinshasa?' I said I would gladly go. So he sent me to Monrovia as a peace envoy. I went there and met my friend, President Tubman. Tubman expressed his willingness to use his good offices. He told me he would see another mutual friend, the late Haile Sellassie, Emperor of Ethiopia, and both of them would see that the civil war was placed as first item on the agenda of the OAU Summit in Kinshasa.
I returned and broke the news to Ojukwu. He was very pleased. Then, when the OAU summit opened, Chief Awolowo, as Vice-Chairman of the Federal Executive Council and Commissioner for Finance, led a strong Nigerian delegation to Kinshasa and raised a very strong objective on the Nigerian civil war being placed as an item on the agenda on the grounds that according to the OAU Charter, this was a domestic affairs and member states were precluded from interfering in the domestic affairs of each other, which was really sound according to international law. But we wanted to solve it in the African way, to use mediation and conciliation to bring two warring brothers together.
The OAU accepted the submission of Chief Awolowo and so it was not put into the agenda. Well, history will show now between Chief Awolowo and myself, who actually accentuated the war. I was trying to get the OAU to settle the dispute so they could go to the conference table and he was thinking of legalism, that it would amount to interference in the domestic affairs of a member-state. But meanwhile here you have two brothers killing each other.
Well, Ojukwu told me, I have done my best. You see, Nigeria was relying on law and we are relying on humanity. What's next? I said why not try other heads of states and see what could be done to bring about peace? He then said he left the initiative with me. I suggested going to some heads of state and see what can be done. But his advisers led by Dr. Nwakama Okoro suggested recognition. That if we can get other states to recognize Biafra, maybe the hands of Nigeria may be forced to go to the conference table.
Well, I thought that was a sound idea and I placed my services at their disposal so as to meet my friends. We had in mind President Senghor of Senegal, President Houphouet Boigny of Ivory Coast, President Julius Nyerere of Tanzania, President Milton Obote of Uganda, President Kenneth Kaunda of Zambia and of course Francois Bongo, he is now Omar. He now has become a Muslim. He was then a Christian. The long and short of it all was that I and these great African statesmen agreed that if Gowon persisted with pre-conditions, then they would accord recognition to force the hands of Gowon to go to the conference table and bring about peace. That was one.
Two, Gowon had already predicted that the war would end on March 31 and as far as these African statesmen were concerned, these killings and atrocities did not do any credit to the image of Africa and as such what should be done was to stop it as soon as possible. Therefore if the war didn't end by March 31, then the propaganda of 'Biafra' that it was an act of genocide would be justified. And they didn't want to accept that.
I went on this mission and succeeded in persuading these heads of state to agree to give recognition just to force the hands of Nigeria, diplomatically speaking, to the conference table.
President Senghor said he couldn't because the majority of his supporters were Muslims and rightly or wrongly they felt it was a religious war. And he said well, if he granted recognition, then his government would fall. But he supported the idea of forcing the hands of Nigeria to the conference table. Houphouet Boigny was prepared, provided his people backed him. Ditto for the others except Milton Obote who told us that Prince Mutesa and the Bagandans wanted to secede and he couldn't support secession when his own state was confronted with similar problems. It left four of them. That is, President Nyerere, Houphouet Boigny, Kaunda and Bongo. They agreed on the understanding that the war did not end by March 31, 1968 and pre-conditions would be removed to make it easy for both Ojukwu and Gowon to go to conference table.
So they granted recognition and it worked like magic because immediately after this, Dr. Okoi Arikpo, who must be presumed to be responsible for this diplomatic blunder (he was the Commissioner for External Affairs]—a good man no doubt, but he is a very poor diplomat in my own humble opinion – announced to the outside world that Nigeria would no longer insist on pre-conditions and that he was prepared for conference table but the war did not end on March 31 and so, they left the impression, you see, that Nigeria wanted to annihilate the Ibos. You noticed the Soviets gave Nigeria more arms and Nigeria used those arms to destroy the secessionists. Here, I came in again and I advised Ojukwu. I said look since Gowon has withdrawn the pre-conditions, go to the conference table and argue the points so as to pave way for a peace conference. It was agreed that they should meet in Niamey. I advised Ojukwu to go. Again Gowon was ill-advised so he couldn't come.
At Niamey here was Ojukwu. I was on his side. Gowon wasn't there but Haile Sellassie, Hamani Diori, Tubman and General Akran were there representing OAU. So, I told Ojukwu, I said now you have an upper hand. These respected leaders of the OAU were there. I had briefed Ojukwu. I said 'look your line of approach is to express appreciation for what the OAU was doing in order to maintain peace in Africa but you were prepared to co-operate and you are leaving the whole matter in the hands of the OAU to see what could be done to bring an earlier cessation of hostilities. I said just say that and thank them and sit down.
Now Gowon didn't attend. He sent a junior man, I think Alhaji Femi Okunnu or so, to represent him. And they didn't even attend this conference at which the four heads of state presided. It was only the Biafran side. So Ojukwu won a diplomatic victory and you know Ojukwu is a very good speaker if you give him all the facts. He was a good public relations expert and he won. He said, 'well if Gowon was sincere why did he spite such great men and didn't attend?' That worked.
They agreed that Nigeria could be contacted so that we have a peace conference in Addis Ababa. It was a diplomatic victory for Biafra and so we returned to Biafra highly elated. And Ojukwu insisted that I should accompany him to Addis Ababa. Then something happened. Some of his advisers felt that I was becoming a victim of compromise and that I was a bad influence. That all I was trying to do was to make Biafra impotent. They told Ojukwu that Biafra was holding its own militarily. And why should we want a peace conference? That he should be very, very careful with me, especially as an Onitsha man because they thought that I was using him as a means to give publicity for myself internationally and that time will come when people will look more to me than to himself.
Well, as a young man, human, he fell for such flattery. I don't want to mention all the names, but particularly influential in swinging his opinion at that material time was Mr. C. C. Mojekwu, who was based in Lisbon. Then Mr. Matthew Mbu was our Commissioner for External Affairs and he himself did as much as possible, but then he realized that he was having someone who has power of life and death over everybody. So, we went to Addis Ababa and on the night before the conference, Matthew came to my bedroom at about 10 in the night. He said, "Do you know that all we have done, this man is going to undo them tomorrow?' I said 'No'. Then he brought out a printed version of a long speech. The world press said it lasted for 90 minutes.
He [Ojukwu] went back on everything we discussed. He attacked the United Kingdom, the United States, the Soviet Union – all the nations of the world and the OAU, and said that they were misleading us and that the sovereignty of 'Biafra' was not negotiable. We went to the conference. I sat next to him. I thought that he was going to speak in accordance with the spirit of Niamey. But he spoke for 90 minutes and he just got the whole place upside down.
Naturally Tony Enahoro – he led the Nigerian delegation – replied in kind and so we were back to square one. So, when we returned, I advised him. I told him that I was surprised at what he did but it was not late. He said, 'The sovereignty of Biafra is not negotiable and if anybody should try to compromise that sovereignty, then it will be an act of subversion.' Well, that was quite clear to me so I said, 'Your Excellency, you still have Port Harcourt and you can still bargain from position of strength – after all, the main issue in the civil war is oil and they say that in international politics, oil is combustible and as you have a combustible situation you can begin from the position of strength'. He said, 'No, Port Harcourt is impregnable.' 'Very well, Your Excellency,' I said. I went back to Nekede where I had been in protective custody since February, 1968. Two weeks later, Port Harcourt fell.
He sent for me. I said, 'Well, Your Excellency, I did warn you. You cannot now negotiate from a position of strength but having received recognition from four states, we can still use them to see what we can do to appeal to the outside world.' He said, 'Very well, I think you should go to the United Nations to seek for recognition.' I said, 'Your Excellency, let us wait until after OAU summit in Algiers and find out what Africa thinks.' In the meantime, I went to Tunisia to see my friend Habeeb Bourguiba of Tunisia. He wasn't quite well, so we moved from Carthage to Hermit where he stayed. Ojukwu had always said the civil war would be won on the battlefield and not on the conference table, and Bourguiba didn't take kindly to that. He said don't you people advise this young man? I explained to him that I have done everything I could to advise him, but he insists on going to the battle field.
So we crossed our fingers awaiting the verdict of Algiers. You know it was decided by 33 to 4 in favour of Nigeria. I advised Ojukwu that to go to the United Nations to seek recognition would be unrealistic since Africa had decided by 33 to 4 in favour of Nigeria. I said Nigerian envoys, the Nigerian delegations, would just percolate the membership of the United Nations and they would frown at the whole thing. He insisted. I was then in Paris. I wrote him a letter. I said, 'Since you refuse to go to the conference table to negotiate for peace, since you prefer that the civil war should end on the battle field and not on the conference table; since you said that the sovereignty of Biafra is not negotiable, I am afraid I cannot continue as a peace envoy because you have destroyed all the vestiges of any optimism for peace. Therefore I am relieving myself of my services as a peace envoy. I cannot continue as a peace envoy. I cannot continue as a peace envoy because you have let me down. You left me under the impression that if I succeeded in getting recognition you will go to the conference table. You got four recognitions; you did not go to the conference table. I am therefore going to London on exile.'
I went to London in voluntary exile and the British government granted me asylum. I do not see how anybody could say that I ran away from my country. I crossed the Atlantic 46 times, trying to negotiate with various heads of state so that they could grant recognition or make OAU to settle the dispute. How could the head of state turn round now and accuse all those who were politicians in pre-1966 and post-1966 as being responsible for the downfall of the republic? I did my best to preserve the unity of Nigeria and also to preserve the lives of old men, able-bodied men and women and children but I failed. What could I do? I went on free exile and they keep saying that I was among those responsible for the downfall of the republic. I plead not guilty.

This data is processed by the vehicle data interface and transmitted in a universal standard. The patented technology ensures that you are protected from warranty and liability issues.
More about: Benefits of standardised data in Squarell's telematics solutions
Squarell delivers customer-specific vehicle data in the format of your choice, such as FMS/J1939 or RS-232 (ASCII). Squarell also reads data that is normally only available with proprietary equipment. The data is sent to the modem or Bluetooth device of your choice.
The limitations of using data from built-in Fleet Management Systems
An OEM's FMS system is not enabled by default in every vehicle. It is expensive to activate it for an entire fleet. And even then, there is no guarantee that all the desired data can be processed in your fleet management system.
A built-in FMS system often only supports the standard FMS parameters, while Squarell's technology makes it possible to support more parameters, for example Safety Parameters.

text: Canis ISSN: 2398-2942 Fibrocartilaginous embolism Synonym(s): Fibrocartilaginous embolic neuropathy, Ischemic myelopathy, FCE Contributor(s): Paul Cuddon, Harry Scott, Laurent Garosi Introduction Pathogenesis Diagnosis Treatment Outcomes Introduction Peracute onset disease, usually marked lateralization of deficits, although bilateral signs are often seen initially. Cause: Ischemic necrosis of spinal cord associated with fibrocartilaginous emboli in blood vessels. Cervical and lumbar spinal cord enlargements commonly involved, but can occur anywhere along spinal cord. Signs: Peracute (<6 hours) onset of non-painful, non-progressive (after 24 hours) and often asymmetric myelopathy. Reflect the location of the lesion. Can be UMN or LMN paresis/plegia. Diagnosis: signs, myelography or CT/MRI scan to rule out spinal cord compression. Treatment: mostly supportive care. Prognosis: Fair to good: if neurological signs are mild to moderate without profound LMN deficits. Very poor to hopeless: with profound LMN signs with loss of pain sensation. Print off the owner factsheet Ischemic myelopathy Ischemic myelopathy to give to your client. Pathogenesis Etiology Mechanism unknown - embolism most commonly occurs in the spinal cord arteries, although can be associated with veins or both arteries and veins. Fibrocartilaginous emboli thought to be intervertebral disk material (nucleus pulposus). In very young animals growth plate cartilage is another possible source. Possible increases in intra-abdominal pressure may alter blood flow dynamics and direction to the spine, intervetebral disks and spinal cord, allowing diskal embolization of the spinal cord to occur. Predisposing factorsGeneral A very high percentage of dogs have been exercising at the time of the embolism. Specific Hyperlipoproteinemia Hyperlipidemia has been suggested to predispose to this condition in some breeds, eg Miniature Schnauzer and Shetland Sheepdog. Pathophysiology The ischemic injury caused by the arterial obstruction initiates a series of biochemical and metabolic events which result in neuronal and glial cell dath. The grey matter is affected more severely due to its greater metabolic demand. Timecourse Immediate onset following location of embolus.

Quartets 2020
The sixteenth edition of the Heidelberg String Quartet Festival continues a beautiful tradition that has repeatedly proven to be particularly fruitful: When selecting the quartets that come to Heidelberg, the focus is not only on outstanding quality, but also on internationality. Each country produces its own quartet style, its own repertoire, its own quartet stories. The ensembles have these traditions in their baggage and thus enable highly diverse views of works and performances. This time, quartets from the USA (Callisto Quartet), Spain (Cuarteto Quiroga), Italy (Quartetto di Cremona), Great Britain (Navarra String Quartet) and Germany (Signum Quartett, Vision String Quartet) will be performing.

Okay so I watch a hell of a lot of TV shows and even now to this point I am confused about what I'm watching and where I'm up to, on those particular shows lol. - I'm interested in what everybody else likes and what they're watching atm as well as hoping to get some recommendations on what to watch?
I'm into the whole sci-fi, horror, thriller, crime mystery drama, Reality Supernatural Mystery kind of shows & right now I'm on Falling Skies, Legend Quest, Ghost Hunters International, Teen Wolf, Alphas, The Nine lives of Chloe King and a couple of others whilst the bigger ones (Fringe, Supernatural etc) are on breaks.
Someone did suggest I get into Cold Case, something I've been meaning to do for a while, anyone agree/disagree? And what shows you watching right now?
