There could be very much a debate about "massive authorities" and "small government" within the country, and this extends both to the economy, including bailouts of Ford and GM, and societal benefits, together with "Obamacare". Compared to different developed international locations, the United States has a comparatively small authorities, and doesn't have the various socioeconomic controls that Eastern European international locations have. In addition, the United States doesn't have compulsory health care like its neighbor, Canada, does.
Nevertheless, Indonesia was nonetheless the largest Muslim nation in the world in the early 1990s, united with the universal Islamic community (ummah) not solely within the profession of faith but also in adherence to Islamic legislation. The enchantment of Islam was not weakened when it was supplanted by trendy secular nationalism as the basis for the impartial Indonesian state. In truth, given the prominence of Islamic proselytization and reinvigoration, the people's desire to take care of Islamic institutions and ethical values arguably was at an all-time excessive in Indonesia. There was, nevertheless, a separation between Islam as a cultural worth system and Islam as a political motion. In the late twentieth century, there have been as many conventional political cultures in Indonesia as there have been ethnic teams.
However, as could be seen by way of the brand new implementations of "Obamacare" and the bailouts under President Obama, the US is steadily shifting in the direction of greater government, which is an acceptable measure in current financial conditions. In the process level, residents within the United States have an enormous function in authorities. All adults over 18 can vote, and Election Day is a giant day for most individuals.
Christianity, Taoism, Buddhism, Islam and Judaism and another small religions can be present in China. Most of the business dealings are negotiated on the dinner desk in China as they check with do enterprise with folks they know nicely.
Relationship and diploma of association with particular person is decided after serving meals on the dinner table. In China, multi-party cooperation system will proceed to develop with continuous growth of socialist democratic politics and political system in China. Following the street of improvement of a socialist political system with specific traits of Chinese, is important to be able to pursue and enhance the basic political system. Learning from the other political civilization of mankind could be fruitful in this context.
These aspects not only stimulated undemocratic norms in the political culture, but in addition led to the emergence of clergy as a robust pillar throughout the society of Pakistan. Winston Churchill, throughout a debate in the House of Commons in 1942, mentioned that if British India "is granted freedom, power will go to the hands of rascals, rogues, freebooters; all leaders shall be of low caliber and men of straw. They will struggle amongst themselves for power…" The political leadership of Pakistan has proved him right through the course of history. Power politics has at all times remained a dominant function of Pakistani politics, which, in turn, strengthened a conflictual political culture within the nation.
Leading as much as the election, citizens can marketing campaign for his or her desired candidates (such as putting indicators up on their lawns), and coverage of the election is present in practically every media outlet. United States citizens typically have a optimistic outlook on their perceptions of political rights, and that is supported by the Constitution, voting, and judicial courts. Most citizens are know that freedom of speech and freedom of religion, to name a few rights, are guaranteed within the United States. Citizens also understand that if their elected officers aren't upholding these rights, they can take away these officials by voting.
- Thus, the civic culture resolves the tension inside democracy between well-liked control and effective governance.
- first launched his concept of state political culture fifty years in the past.
- In Almond and Verba's study, Britain and, to a lesser extent, the United States got here closest to this perfect.
- In each nations, the citizens felt that they could influence the government.
There are complete fifty six ethnic groups and Han Chinese is in majority among these groups. From the point of view of faith, pluralism of faith is current in China.
For example, holiday celebrations for Cinco de Mayo and St. Patrick's Day come from other countries but have been popularized in the U.S. The American political culture describes the relationship between the American individuals and the American authorities. It's what we cherish most about our authorities and what we expect our government to supply for us. Political culture additionally contains expectations of the government's general involvement in society and the economy.
Re-aggregation Of Political Cultures In Metropolitan Areas
In this context, the current surge in political turmoil can be termed as a revival of the inherent practices in political area of the country. Of Indonesia's inhabitants, 87.1 % recognized themselves as Muslim in 1980. The figures for 1985 and 1990 were not released by the government's Central Bureau of Statistics (BPS), suggesting an additional decline that would gas the fires of Muslim indignation over Christianization and secularization under the New Order.
Nevertheless, the similarity to the Javanese kingship mannequin of Suharto's increasingly paternalistic rule reflects the Javanese cultural underpinnings of the New Order. Although Indonesia was a cultural mosaic, the Javanese, with more than forty five percent of the whole population in the 1990s, have been by far the most important single ethnic group. Moreover, they crammed–to a degree beyond their population ratio–crucial roles in government and ABRI. The Javanese cultural predispositions influenced, therefore, the best way the government appealed to the inhabitants and interactions throughout the New Order elite. The American political culture relies on the important precept that America welcomes and celebrates people from many different nations, races and religions.
This paper will discuss the characteristics of Chinese culture, its political system and effect of political system and culture on the society and the way these forces deliver social change altogether. The political landscape of Pakistan, from the very starting, has been concentrated by the landlords, businessmen and civil and navy bureaucracies. On the opposite hand, the political leadership, which largely encompassed the individuals who migrated from the areas that weren't included in Pakistan, had no roots among the many plenty.

Vice President Paa Kwesi Bekoe Amissah-Arthur has announced that a permanent military training school will be established on the no-man's land between Alavanyo and Nkonya in the Biakoye District of the Volta Region.
This stems from close to a century-old conflict between the two communities.
A peace deal was brokered on Friday, January 9 by Vice President Amissah-Arthur with the paramount chiefs of the two feuding communities in attendance.
The chiefs – Nana Kojo Asiakwa of Nkonya and Togbega Tsedze Atakora VII of Alavanyo – pledged their commitment to the fresh deal.
They were charged to ensure peace for the sake of the next generation.
"Let us together sit and resolve this conflict," charged the Paramount Chief of Akpini Traditional Area, Okpekpewuokpe Dagadu VII, who supervised the signing of the agreement.
Vice President Amissah-Arthur announced government's intentions to build a military base between the communities.
"We plan to build a permanent military base here that will lead to training, improve the training [among military officers] and some of the other activities that the military people do."
He indicated that government will budget for the school by close of this year.
"We are hopeful that the resources will be found this year in the budget to allow the beginning of this process of putting in permanent structures in the zone."
The protracted conflict has led to the loss of lives and property in the two communities.

Fallen Angel
This story was written for Trifecta's weekly prompt, which was to use the word "boo": (verb) to show dislike or disapproval of someone or something by shouting "Boo" slowly." It's also another chapter in Constance's Story. Enjoy!
A soft yellow glow surrounded Constance as she concluded her thoughtful advice. "And so, Mr. Linderman, that's why you need to go home and spend time with your daughter. Because she loves you. Really."
"You're right," sniffled Mr. Linderman. "I'll leave right now. This moment!"
"You do that," Constance said, beaming. Mr. Linderman slammed shut his briefcase and dashed out of his office, making a beeline for the elevators. Left alone, Constance couldn't resist taking a spin in Linderman's very comfortable chair. This angel stuff wasn't so bad.
Then she heard a distant sound, coming from outside. It didn't sound like a shriek of distress, or a wail of horror. It was…a boo?
Constance opened the office window and looked out. On the rooftop of the building across the street, a man about her age stood, having just finished a particularly loud boo.
Constance was aghast. "Did you just….did you just boo me? You did not just boo me!"
"Yeah," he called, "I did just boo ya, cupcake. So whatcha gonna do about it?"
"Cupcake?" Now she was positively offended. "I'm an angel, you twithead! Angel! I have a halo!"
The man offered an extremely impolite suggestion as to what she could do with said halo.
"Okay, buster, you asked for it!" Constance leaped out the window and launched herself across the street. About halfway across she suddenly recalled that she hadn't earned her wings yet. She plummeted towards the ground, flailing madly and wishing she had just closed the window and ignored her heckler. She didn't even know that angels had hecklers. This hadn't come up in training. Now the ground was approaching awfully fast and-
Miraculously, a truck containing a load of soft kitty litter came by at that exact moment. She landed squarely in it, unharmed, but terribly humiliated. The boos above changed to mocking laughter. She glared up at the rooftop, but all that remained was a puff of oily smoke, and a smell of sulphur.
An angel heckler…who knew!? Loved Constance's voice: a little temper and a lot of spirit!
Now this is quite clever. It was a fun read.

Rubik's cube is my favourite toy which I have. Rubik's cube is made in China. The Rubik's cube has different shapes, for example a pyramid. The Rubik's cube has nine pieces on each side of it. On each side of it, It has different colours, blue, green, white, orange and more. I have a lot of Rubik's cubes. My favourite Rubik's cube is one that my best friend got me. I love Rubik's cube because I know how to solve them. In the beginning, it is difficult but after, they are very easy. Rubik's cube makes me feel very smart. I love Rubik's cube very much.

Love Letter to Lithium
You saved my life.
I don't know who I would be without you.
When you came into my life, I didn't trust you. I thought you were trying to control me. I was so afraid that you would change my ability to think and be brilliant. I thought you would rob me of my creativity and ability to feel. I thought that if you were in my life, I couldn't be me and I had no idea as to who I would be.
Something I've never told you is how angry I was with you. You took away the most beautiful experience I had ever had. With you I can never have it again. During my mania, before it got nasty and became the scariest experience of my life, I had unlimited power and was able to do anything. I truly believed I was a prophet. It was so easy for me to see my path and allow God to guide me. I had peace…true peace. And you made it so this will experience will never be possible again in this way. I forgive you. What you gave me is worth more than the godliness of mania.
I love you. I love you so much that the idea of not having you within me scares me.
You changed me and I accept that I need you in my life for as long as I can have you.
As I came to trust you and depend on you…you changed how I think and how I feel. You've slowed down my thoughts and untangled them so that I can understand and express them with ease. I've even gotten pretty good at thinking before I speak and really good at correcting myself after I make mistakes.
You didn't change my ability to think like I feared you would. In fact, my creativity and imagination, and critical thinking have improved by the clarity you give me through my untangled thoughts. Unfortunately you didn't improve all of my skills. My hands kind of shake because of you, but I forgive you for that.
I still have the abilities to pay attention, think critically and my memory is phenomenal. Well, most of my memory is phenomenal. It's kind of funny when I find myself in the kitchen and I don't know why. You've really turned my memory for simple tasks into a joke. And I forgive you.
You changed how I experience my emotions. I always had difficulty crying. Growing up I always needed to be strong. For 10 years on you I couldn't cry, I couldn't release my painful emotions, but then I got more of you in me and I can cry whenever I need to. It feels so incredible to cry. Don't feel bad or guilty, you never kept me from having emotions, I had plenty of them, but with you I couldn't release them until the last few years.
I don't know if its good or bad, but I'm no longer as exuberant as I was when I had less of you in my body. When I had less of you I scared people with my energy. I'd walk into the room and people would be so overwhelmed by me and I never could understand why. I felt perfectly normal. But, normal for me was always being hypomanic. I looked happy, but too happy…so happy that no one ever believed I could be that happy which made me scary and weird. I can't even say I was happy, I don't think I was happy, but that energy was simply who I was. I'm me now! My energy is more channeled and contained but still full of passion, exuberance and warmth.
Lithium, this may be the greatest gift you've given me. Through out my life you have helped me reach my goals by doing your best to successfully prevent full-blown mania. I always had to do my part and you always had my back. Because of you I tackled life challenges and have the quality of life that I was told I would never be able to achieve. Because you did such a good job having my back, I was able to do my part and graduate from one of the world's most prestigious universities, UC Berkeley and go on to get my Masters degree. I am now doing what I believe I am meant to be doing and trust I am living my purpose.
I love you lithium.
So what that you've given my psoriasis and I hate it.
I love you. You are a gift from God.
With All My Gratitude,
Robin Mohilner

Kriega Overlander-S OS-Base £89.00
Kriega Overlander-S OS-Base
Dirtbike riders who plan on spending more than just an afternoon out on the trail will run into many issues as they search for viable luggage options for their lightweight off road bikes. Metal pannier frames are far too heavy and take too long to install/uninstall, especially on the trail. Worst of all, they are often not as durable as the rugged machines they are being bolted to. The Kriega Overlander-S OS-Base addresses all of these issues, and more, with Kriega's typical attention to detail and awareness of rider's needs during serious adventure.
The OS-Base is compatible with just about any Off road bike or dual sport and, after the initial setup, fixes to your bike in just a few seconds. It is compatible with Kriega's OS-6, OS-12 or OS-18 drypacks. Additional luggage, like your tent and sleeping bag, can be lashed down above the rear mudguard with included loop mounts. Once you've set up camp or reached your hotel, the entire system, bags included, can be removed in a matter of seconds.
Note: If the base or any luggage contacts the silencer, an aftermarket heat shield must be installed to prevent damage. All luggage and the Husqvarna sold separately.

Even More Top Secret Recipes
by Todd Wilbur
Published by Plume
210 pages, 2003
Reviewed by Monica Stark
Scenario one: you've invited all of your friends over for a barbecue. Just as you're about to dish out the hamburgers and hot dogs, you realize you're out of ketchup and mustard. What do you do?
Scenario two: you've got a major hankering for Girl Scout Thin Mint Cookies, but you know it will be months until the young ladies come pounding on your door with boxes of cookies on offer. How do you satisfy the craving?
If you're former investigative reporter Todd Wilbur you head to your kitchen and start testing recipes. Or, now that Wilbur has done the work, you get your hands on one of his seven Top Secret cookbooks, the latest of which is Even More Top Secret Recipes: More Amazing Kitchen Clones of America's Favorite Brand-Name Foods.
As Wilbur says in his introduction to Even More Top Secret Recipes:
When craving a drippy Taco Bell Burrito Supreme, a plateful of Peking duck -- as good as Peking duck is at the right moment -- isn't going to do the job. Sure, when it's all over your stomach's full just the same, but the road you mowed getting there wasn't the most delicious route.
In Even More Wilbur mows a pretty broad road including "Top Secret Recipe Versions" of Arby's Bronco Berry Sauce, Baskin-Robbins Ice Cream Cake, Burger King BK Broiler, Cadbury's Creme Egg, Emeril's Original Essence, Kenny Rogers Roaster Corn Muffins and more and more and more, not to mention the aforementioned ketchup (Heinz'), mustard (French's Classic Yellow) and Girl Scout Cookies Thin Mints. And on and on and on: Kraft Shake 'N Bake, Nabisco Cheese Nips, McDonald's Yogurt Parfait, Newman's Own Creamy Caesar Dressing: you can tell Wilbur has a full-time job between books just dreaming up the recipes he'll include, never mind hacking them in order to reproduce his top secret versions.
One of the delights in making his clones at home, Wilbur reports, is the customization possible.
The beauty of making PayDay candy bars at home is that you can make them twice as big! The joy of cooking KFC BBQ Baked Beans at home is that we can add more garlic and some kickin' cayenne pepper to our version! Tweak your recipes to suit your tastes.
Wilbur warns that the original versions of a lot of the food you'll be trying to reproduce is made "by machines in custom molds and may include coloring or thickening additives that we won't use, your clone may look different from the real thing. That's okay. I usually try to include tricks to duplicate a product's appearance whenever possible... . But my primary goal is to design a recipe that makes a finished product taste just like the real thing. Taste is job #1."
Wilbur does a great job hacking fast food secrets, but that's not the only charm in his books. He includes lots of fast food facts and lore: like the fact that Henry John Heinz was peddling produce in post-Civil War Pittsburgh by the age of 12 and that Pace Foods, makers of Pace Picante Sauce -- top secret recipes version included -- uses around 30 million pounds of fresh jalapeño peppers every year. Also included are carefully prepared schematics of foods that require assembly or special treatment. (For example, schematics are included for McDonald's Breakfast Bagel Sandwiches, but not McDonald's Hot Mustard Sauce.)
With over 80 recipes from a variety of fast food groups, Even More Top Secret Recipes is a fun addition to the cookbook shelf. | May 2003

A maintenance agreement is a deal arranged between the service or asset provider and the client considering the services to be delivered and the payment acknowledged for the provision of the services.
Key Inclusions in Maintenance Agreement
- Terms and conditions for service.
- Project Description
- Exclusions from service
- Fee schedule
- Penalties and fine payments
- Disclaimers and warranties
- Time period
What Is a Maintenance Agreement?
A maintenance agreement is a legal document between two parties that establishes the utilization of an asset or service. It is applicable for various ranges of assets like equipment, building, computers, technologies, services, landscape, etc.
It can also extend across various industries to set up the maintenance of all the assets in a clear manner by clearly including the requirements, schedule, expectations, timeline, price, etc.
If you are maintaining an asset owned by others, then it is necessary for you to get this agreement to protect both parties' rights.
When Needs a Maintenance Agreement?
Even though the verbal agreement is there, having a written maintenance agreement ensures all the details and the associated terms and conditions are documented and agreed upon in a proper manner.
The agreement between the two parties depends on the type of assets or the services that are being utilized over the course. It is used under following conditions:
- when the agreement is in regard to the services and its maintenance.
- when the asset involved in the property such as building, landscape, etc.
- It can further be classified into service level, master service, and consulting device agreements based on companies' requirements.
Recognizing its importance is needed before finalizing the main agreement, so both parties can fully understand all the terms and conditions to avoid any arguments that might arise later on.
The maintenance agreement is needed to list down all the detailed instructions of the services, maintenance works along with provisions for emergency situations and repairs.
What Should be Included in the Maintenance Agreement?
The agreement should include all the necessary details so that the involved parties will be able to understand the rights and responsibilities properly. Various elements that are drafted in the agreement are as following:
- Parties: In the agreement, the party using the services is termed as a client and the party providing the services is termed as a contractor. The party's details such as names, addresses, and other needed information.
- Purpose: The agreement states the list of services, assets that are being utilized and provided by the parties.
- Scope of Service: Instructions of usage, maintenance, and other details pertaining to an emergency also should be provided.
- Terms of Payment: Installments or one-time payment, payment at start or end of the agreement period. All such details regarding the monetary terms should be documented.
- Warranty: The licensing, warranty of the equipment, and assets during the course of agreement and the necessary details are to be mentioned.
- Time Period: The start and end date of the agreement and the process if in case of extension or release of the agreement prior to the time period agreed.
A maintenance agreement is generally made to understand and verify the correctness of the details in the agreement and then the final agreement is documented.
A maintenance agreement summaries all the intricate details necessary to procure and employ the assets and services of the parties entering the agreement.
It also varies based on the type of assets and services involved and accordingly the maintenance agreement or the device agreement is utilized by the parties.

Hyderabad: Mr Akbaruddin Owaisi, the AIMIM floor leader in Telangana Assembly, has demanded the state government to declare a Medical Emergency while suggesting for setting up Sewage Treatment Plants (STP). Diseases such as malaria, typhoid and dengue are taking a toll on the public.
"I suggest at least a 10,000 square feet area should be earmarked for treating the medical wastage.
All hospitals should be equipped with the STP facility. Hospital waste should be treated properly. For this, STP units should be set up. The Telangana government should make it a mandatory for all the new buildings, including the government or private, that STP plants a must. We used to complain about lynching in one place. But, mosquito lynching has become a significant concern in the State. Mosquito lynching is taking place everywhere. Every house has a patient these days," said Mr Owaisi in the Assembly on Saturday.
Dengue and malaria cases have been alarmingly increasing during the past few months across Telangana state. According to officials, the death toll reached over 55 so far this year, and unconfirmed reports claim more than 60 deaths in the State.
The Telangana Health Department said that about 10,870 Dengue cases had been registered in the State. Influenza and viral fever cases in large number have been reported from several places in the State. Doctors advise that normal fever also shouldn't be neglected.
Meanwhile, GHMC officials are a worried lot over non-functioning of chemicals. Fogging is also not preventing the mosquito-spread, said an official. The GHMC is spending about Rs7 crore annually on the eradication of mosquitoes. The officials are studying the root cause on why fogging and spraying of chemicals not resulting in the desired effect. During the past week, about 200 Dengue cases registered in the twin cities alone. The GHMC is also studying whether adulteration in pesticides is the reason why it's not effective in the prevention of mosquito-spread.

The CPA Exam community & online study group to help you pass!
Congrats on clearing the exam ! I wanted to read your blog, but for some strange reason am not able to open it. Good luck for your job hunt
Also wanted to ask you, if I could just use Wiley Test Bank CD for practice questions and not use the Wiley Text. Would you be able to give me a quick run down as to the Wiley Test CD alone - like how many MCQs are there n one section approximately and if the CD has an expiration date or something along those lines?
As AUD has some changes starting July 1st this year, should I buy only the new CD instead of used from Amazon or elsewhere - what would you suggest?
Hope I don't bother you too much. Any advice towards this CD purchase would help me decide if I need to supplement Becker. Thanks a bunch. Hema
Congrats Madhavilatha. So, what's your secret for the success? :)
Madhavi you are a star!! Congratulations on passing all the exams in one shot and without using any lecture review course!!! You are a true inspiration!!!
Hi Madhavilatha, You did a great job. You are only left with FAR? Very good.
Madhavilatha, thank you for your advise and recommendaton. I am going through all the MCQ (wiley test bank). I will have to re read and re-write and understand the writing part, this is not my first language so it difficult for me to write an essay. I have Wednesday thru Monday to study. Planning to study at least 10hr/day. I'm nervous because this is my 3rst time. Have taken BEC in 2005 & 2010..:((
Very true and very well said lol..have to tackle each one at a time..Thank you and Good luck to u too..let me know how the exam goes..keep in touch
Hi Madhavilatha, I'm doing fine thanks..Just studying for Regulation, its very long and lots to memorize and learn so a date for an exam hasn't been set yet.Try to get the Yaeger videos for Reg, he explains the concepts and problems very well. Hows BEC going? I'm going to take auditing in the next window..Hope your doing well and Good luck with studying
hello, how are you doing? hows the studying going?
As you may have already noticed, the MCQs from Becker give you an idea of what to expect (the depth of any topic) in the exam..
Not finding time to answer as Iam very busy with AUD. In short, I have gone by what was there in Becker. I don't recollect the types of questions (computational or theoretical) asked in exam but Becker material was sufficient.
I had not seen any Equity Multiplier in that formula when I was studying BEC from Becker. The 2 parts of the DuPont formula are important from BEC exam point of view and I'd stick to what Wiley says.
Good Luck!
hi, just one more question..is the auditing exam very difficult? i know u took 5 months, but if a person is studying full time can it be taken in about a month or two of studying? is the exam straight forward?
oh ok end of Aug? thats nice..i heard the exam isnt that bad..people always say FAR and REG to be difficult i guess there is a lot more information and material.
Hi, That must be a lot to take care of your child and study at the same time. Im not working and have had no accounting work experience. I live in Houston TX with my parents, so i will taking my exams here but with the California state board of accountancy. what are you studying for next and when r u taking the exam?
Hi Madhavilatha, Thank u so much for your advise. Yes im studying for Regulation. Its going to be my first exam so a little nervous about it. I'm using Yaeger and Wiley CPA review so the Wiley CD test bank have good questions Regulation has a lot of material. As you may know, its divided into taxation and business law so a lot of understanding and memorization is required. do u have any experience in accounting or work full time? Im trying to see if i can take auditing in about 2 months and study more hours.first regulation, its going okay, some days like today im totally exhausted and didnt open a page lol. when r u taking FAR? So is Wiley all u study with? do u take Yaeger?
Hi Madhavilatha, Im new to the CPA exam club and studying for my exams. I see u have passed Auditing. Can you please advise me on how u studied for it? How many months did u study for it and what its the most difficult part of your exam. Thank u so much
no IL .. just waiting for the score report email

Earlier this month we released David King Stencils: Past, Present and Crass in association with Kill Your Idols. Sadly just before the title's official release, the immensely talented and beloved David King passed away. This coming Monday 12/2, we'll be celebrating his life and work with a book launch party hosted by the Green Arcade in San Francisco. We hope to see you there.
Event Details:
Monday, December 2, 7 PM (doors open 6:30)
McRoskey Mattress Company 3rd Floor Loft, 1687 Market St (across from the Green Arcade)
About the Book: This long-overdue monograph features David King's iconic stencil-only designs, starting with his legendary logo for the UK band Crass and continuing to the present day. Both the artist's process and finished output are on display in this revealing collection, from the covered-in-layers-of-paint stencils themselves to the drawings and designs outlining the thought process and ultimately the final art. Many of these works used multiple stencils and colors to create one-off finished pieces that you're likely to find only within the pages of this book. Includes essays by: Steven Heller, Matt Borruso, Barry McGee and Howard A. Rodman.
About the Author: David King (1948-2019) grew up in post-war London and attended art school there from 1964 to 1967. He went on to become an art director for a decade thereafter, but left the commercial art world as he became more involved in music and confrontational graphics. In 1977 he created the logo design for the foundational punk band Crass, dubbed the 'double-headed snake and cross'. In the intervening years, he moved to New York and was commissioned to do graphics for clubs like Danceteria, Peppermint Lounge, and for the Museum of Modern Art. He also joined the band Arsenal around this time. Eventually Arsenal relocated from New York to San Francisco, changing its name to Sleeping Dogs and then finally Brain Rust. In the early 1990s King attended the San Francisco Art Institute, studying media he hadn't in the UK: painting, sculpture and photography. Since that time, David King has made short films, continued with his logo design for bands and record labels, published a number of photo books and made stencils throughout his entire career.

Volume 16, Number 3—March 2010
Preparing a Community Hospital to Manage Work-related Exposures to Infectious Agents in BioSafety Level 3 and 4 Laboratories
Construction of new BioSafety Level (BSL) 3 and 4 laboratories has raised concerns regarding provision of care to exposed workers because of healthcare worker (HCW) unfamiliarity with precautions required. When the National Institutes of Health began construction of a new BSL-4 laboratory in Hamilton, Montana, USA, in 2005, they contracted with St. Patrick Hospital in Missoula, Montana, for care of those exposed. A care and isolation unit is described. We developed a training program for HCWs that emphasized the optimal use of barrier precautions and used pathogen-specific modules and simulations with mannequins and fluorescent liquids that represented infectious body fluids. The facility and training led to increased willingness among HCWs to care for patients with all types of communicable diseases. This model may be useful for other hospitals, whether they support a BSL-4 facility, are in the proximity of a BSL-3 facility, or are interested in upgrading their facilities to prepare for exotic and novel infectious diseases.
Over the past decade, biomedical research performed on agents of viral hemorrhagic fevers (VHFs) has substantially increased. These agents are members of several virus groups, including filoviruses (Ebola virus, Marburg virus), Old World arenaviruses (Lassa virus, Lujo virus), New World arenaviruses (Machupo virus, Junin virus, Sabia virus, Guanarito virus, Chapare virus), flaviviruses (Omsk hemorrhagic fever virus, Kyasanur Forest disease virus), and bunyaviruses (Crimean–Congo hemorrhagic fever virus, Rift Valley fever virus) (1). Work with these agents is performed in specialized containment laboratories, operating at either BioSafety Level (BSL) 3 or BSL-4. BSL-3 denotes the potential for aerosol transmission to the laboratory worker. An agent that also is associated with high lethality and for which no available vaccine or specific treatment exists is studied at BSL-4 (2). Many VHF agents have a demonstrated potential for person-to-person transmission, including in nosocomial settings. A recent example of person-to-person transmission to hospital personnel occurred in September and October 2008 when Lujo virus was transmitted from the index patient to a paramedic, 2 nurses, and a member of the janitorial staff. Barrier precautions were not in place at the time of these events (3).
To provide safe work settings in which to study these pathogens, several BSL-4 laboratories are either in operation or under construction in the United States and abroad (Table 1) (T.G. Ksiazek, pers. comm.). Operation and management of these facilities are characterized by redundant engineering of safety features, strict administrative oversight, biosecurity measures, and extensive training (2,4), all designed to reduce the risk for exposure to persons working in this environment and prevent agents from being released into the community. Despite these safeguards, researchers in the United States and abroad have, on occasion, sustained occupational exposures to such agents, which rarely have resulted in overt illness and death (Table 2) (5–11). Because of the potential for person-to-person transmission of many VHF agents, rendering care to exposed or ill persons requires considerations beyond the scope of traditional hospital practices. Contact and/or airborne isolation guidelines may need to be added to standard isolation over the course of a patient's hospitalization (12,13).
On several occasions, persons naturally infected with a VHF agent have sought treatment at hospitals located in industrialized areas of the world (14–21). Often the correct diagnosis is not considered at the time of hospitalization, and only standard isolation is used until such time as the diagnosis is suspected or confirmed. Despite this limitation, nosocomial transmission of these agents is uncommon in adequately resourced hospitals (16,18,20,21). Notably, the medical care requirements for patients with a naturally acquired VHF illness are identical to those needed for laboratory-acquired infections with the same agents.
Because of the limited and unique settings in which BSL-4 research has historically taken place in the United States, hospitalization for occupational exposures to VHF agents has typically been a dedicated facility remote from a conventional hospital, e.g., the medical containment suite (the "slammer") at the US Army Medical Research Institute of Infectious Diseases (USAMRIID), Frederick, Maryland, USA, or the biocontainment patient care unit at Emory University, Atlanta, Georgia, USA. The benefits of a remote facility include reducing the risk for nosocomial transmission, use of personnel who are already trained in managing a patient in containment, and control of public access (22). However, this approach has several serious drawbacks, including limited access to medical specialties and nursing staff, limited availability of medications and blood products, and limited access to specialized equipment such as ventilators and hemodialysis machines. In addition, increased psychological stress is experienced by patients confined to such a facility. Finally, given that the need to activate these facilities is extremely rare, the expense of building and maintaining a stand-alone unit poses a substantial limitation to this approach.
In addition to physical separation of the facility, medical and support staff at the USAMRIID facility work in positive pressure suits similar to those used in the laboratories themselves (22). Although the use of such suits provides protection to the caregiver, positive pressure suits are cumbersome, physically demanding to work in, and require substantial time for donning and doffing (dressing and undressing). Furthermore, venipuncture and other interventions in this unaccustomed and inconvenient setting pose a clear exposure risk to healthcare workers (HCWs). These factors are serious drawbacks when a HCW needs to render care to an acutely ill patient.
Documented clinical experience from several situations clearly indicates that nosocomial transmission can be prevented by implementing standard, contact, and airborne isolation procedures (3,15,16,19,,20). Furthermore, all BSL-4 research programs stress the importance of recognizing and quickly reporting potential work-related exposures and illnesses to occupational medical and safety staff. Thus, healthcare staff will typically be informed about the specific agent and the nature of the exposure early in the incubation period. This will enable rapid evaluation and timely institution of appropriate isolation precautions.
Given all these considerations, what additional enhancements are really necessary for a hospital to safely care for patients while still enabling delivery of optimum medical care? Because of sensational misconceptions about VHF agents in popular media such as movies and the press, other serious issues are the willingness of HCWs to render care to such persons and how to determine what additional actions would increase the likelihood of their doing so. We offer a practical approach to dealing with these issues in the procedures followed by a patient isolation facility located in Missoula, Montana, USA, and its attendant training and educational components.
The Division of Intramural Research of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) recently completed construction of an integrated research facility with BSL-4 research space at its Rocky Mountain Laboratories (RML) in Hamilton, Montana. As part of the project, NIAID contracted with St. Patrick Hospital and Health Sciences Center (SPH), a regional referral medical center located in Missoula, Montana, for provision and staffing of a patient isolation facility to support the RML BSL-4 research program. The facility, known as a care and isolation unit (CIU) (23) was designed to care for RML workers who had either known or had potential exposure to, or illness from, work-related diseases. The facility had to be located within 75 miles of RML, had to provide the full range of standard in-patient care, including intensive care, and had to meet the facility design guidelines of the National Institutes of Health, Division of Occupational Health and Safety (NIH DOHS) (24). Furthermore, the hospital had to supply the personnel to provide the full range of medical and nursing care and to be able to accept a patient within 8 hours (this would entail notification of key members of the hospital hierarchy, transferring patients if the rooms were currently occupied, securing adequate nursing and support staff, and carrying out systems checks to ensure that air handling systems and autoclaves were operational). In addition to the physical facility, a training program for critical care nurses, physicians, and other medical personnel was a major component of the contract.
To satisfy the NIH requirements for the CIU, the following elements were needed: 1) access control, i.e., the ability to restrict entrance into the CIU to authorized persons only; 2) three separate stand-alone rooms, each with a bathroom and shower, separate air handling, and an anteroom separating the patient room from the hallway; 3) directional air flow from the hallway into the anteroom and from the anteroom into the patient room; 4) a dedicated exhaust system providing >12 air exchanges per hour to the patient rooms (including >2 outside air changes per hour); 5) passage of exhaust through a HEPA filter to the building exterior >8 feet above the rooftop and well removed from air intake ducts; 6) room surfaces constructed of seamless materials amenable to topical disinfection; 7) the capability for the full range of intensive care unit (ICU) monitoring and support, including the ability to perform limited surgery, hemodialysis or peritoneal dialysis, Swan-Ganz catheter placement, and hemodynamic monitoring; and 8) a separate autoclave within the CIU for sterilizing all items that come out of a patient room.
SPH was selected to provide these services and facilities. SPH is a not-for-profit medical center under the sponsorship of the Sisters of Providence. It has 195 acute care beds, and >10,000 patient admissions per year. The full range of standard specialty medical care is available within the hospital, including 24 hour, 7 day/week availability of specialists in critical care, infectious disease, and all surgical subspecialties.
SPH retrofitted 3 adjacent rooms within the existing medical ICU (MICU) to create the CIU. A set of doors was installed to control access to the CIU from the MICU, and these would remain open when the CIU was not in use (Figure). A separate fully equipped nursing station was constructed, with closed circuit television monitoring for each of the 3 rooms. After construction, the CIU was inspected and approved by officials from NIH DOHS. Under normal circumstances, the CIU operates either as 3 conventional MICU rooms or as isolation rooms for patients with community-acquired illnesses for which isolation of airborne pathogens is needed. If a patient from RML should require admission, any current occupants would be transferred, and access would be limited by closing off that section of the MICU.
In addition to the physical aspects of the CIU, several other elements were developed. Specific policies and procedures were written that deal with all aspects from admission to discharge, including unique aspects such as clean up of infected bodily spills, donning and doffing of personal protective equipment (PPE), and use of the autoclave. Support of hospital administration, physicians, nurses, and support personnel was critical. This backing was enlisted primarily by mounting an educational campaign that stressed the true risk for nosocomial transmission of these agents, as well as the recognition that the increased resources that would be provided to the hospital could greatly enhance capacity for handling community-acquired infections.
One feature dealt with preparing the hospital staff to care for such exposed persons. To accomplish this feature, we developed a detailed curriculum, which can be presented during a 1-day training workshop. This workshop includes didactic information, patient care scenarios discussed in group settings, and hands-on training. Simulation of various patient care activities (hand hygiene, donning and doffing of PPE, cleanup of body fluids, and rendering ICU level care to a patient) is conducted by using programmable mannequins and either tonic water or Glo Germ (Glo Germ, Moab, UT, USA), both of which fluoresce under ultraviolet light, to simulate infectious body fluids. Continuing education credits are granted for participation. Competence is maintained with quarterly demonstration of proper technique, review of CIU-specific policies and procedures, and required utilization of a series of online problem-oriented patient care scenarios. Training videos have been developed that demonstrate proper technique for spill cleanup, donning and doffing of PPE, processing of patient specimens, and processing of biohazardous waste, including use of the autoclave. Finally, detailed educational modules have been developed for each of the BSL-4 pathogens. These modules are designed to provide a nurse, emergency medical technician, or critical care physician with critical information that is quickly accessible as well as an extensive discussion of all aspects of the agent. The modules are in a standard format with extensive references and websites for further reading. All of this information is available for review any time both in hard copy as well as on the hospital's intranet site in the form of slide presentations, videos, or PDF files. The SPH staff has been generous in supplying feedback on the training and has been instrumental in refining the curriculum. Acquisition of knowledge has been documented with the use of pretesting and posttesting. After completion of the training, SPH staff members expressed increased confidence in caring for patients with all types of communicable infectious diseases, including VHFs.
To maintain readiness, a series of drills and exercises have been performed and will continue, in collaboration with RML and local emergency medical services providers. These readiness exercises have encompassed all aspects of care from arrival to the hospital through discharge.
Engineering and administrative controls as well as PPE and standard operating procedures that are in place in modern BSL-4 laboratories have been associated with a greatly reduced incidence of occupational exposures to infectious agents (23,25). However, exposures, now primarily by the percutaneous route, still occur. USAMRIID recently published a review of potential laboratory exposures to agents of bioterrorism at their facility during 1989–2002 (26). During that time, 12 evaluations were made for potential exposures to filoviruses (Ebola virus or Marburg virus), 3 to arenaviruses, and 4 to Crimean–Congo hemorrhagic fever virus. Although none of these incidents was deemed a high enough risk to warrant isolation of the exposed persons, 2 laboratory workers were given investigational antiviral agents. One exposure at USAMRIID in 2004 resulted in isolation when a scientist received a puncture injury through a gloved hand while manipulating a mouse that had been experimentally exposed to Ebola virus (22). Fortunately, none of these situations resulted in infection. However, workers have been infected by agents of VHF from laboratory accidents elsewhere (Table 2).
Nosocomial transmission of VHF is infrequently described outside of resource-poor settings. With rare exception, such events have occurred because of the lack of recognition that the index patient had such an infection (3,18). The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has published guidelines for management of patients infected with viral hemorrhagic fevers in the conventional hospital setting (12,13). Notably, medical care has been safely rendered by using conventional barrier precautions alone to persons infected with VHF viruses, including Ebola virus (5,18), Marburg virus (19,20), Lassa fever virus (27), Machupo virus (11), Sabia virus (28), and Crimean–Congo hemorrhagic fever virus (21).
Nevertheless, even well-trained HCWs may make mistakes due to anxiety, fatigue, or other stressors, so additional facility enhancements that augment safety are desirable when dealing with potentially lethal infectious diseases. Furthermore, the recognition of a patient with an exotic or unfamiliar contagious disease may engender trepidation among the medical community as well as the public. Such concerns have at times resulted in reluctance on the part of HCWs to care for persons infected with such agents as monkeypox virus (29), Yersinia pestis (plague) (30), and others. When a sample of 1,000 physicians were surveyed (526 responses), 80% indicated a willingness to care for patients in the event of an outbreak of an unknown but potentially deadly illness, but only 21% felt adequately prepared to do so (31). Reluctance is often out of proportion to the true risks and results from concerns for personal and family member safety. These concerns are likely to be reduced if the HCW perceives that the facility has taken additional precautions and instituted additional training.
To maximize safety as well as to address provider concerns of HCWs and other staff, we have developed the CIU and our accompanying training program. Our pragmatic and practical approach provides a well-designed facility that enhances safety not only for the care of a patient infected with a laboratory-acquired VHF virus infection, but also for serious transmissible community-acquired disease or for exotic diseases contracted while traveling.
As international tourism and work assignments continue to expand, the importation of exotic diseases is almost certain to increase and to appear in unexpected locations. Recent instances of infection have occurred with Marburg virus in Colorado (19) and the Netherlands (20); with Lassa fever virus in New Jersey (15), the United Kingdom (16), and Germany 6 (16); with Y. pestis (32) in New York, New York; and with (initially thought) extensively drug-resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis in Atlanta, Georgia (33). Finally, in the United States, 1,356 BSL-3 laboratories are registered with either CDC or the US Department of Agriculture select agent programs (34). For these reasons, relatively low-cost facilities ($624,000.00 for design and construction of our unit) like the CIU may become more critical. Furthermore, training programs, similar to the one we have implemented, with emphasis on such practical infection control issues as the proper use of PPE, hand hygiene, and proper spill cleanup, has broad application. Other communities might consider the benefits of our approach, whether or not infectious disease research laboratories are constructed in their area.

Great product and service
This the best fireplace grate. It holds the wood and allows easier lighting. Excellent manufacture too.
vestal 27" tall fireplace grate
excellent quality. i purchased one last year. just purchased another for for our second home. gets almost daily use during winter and fall and no signs of deterioration. highly recommend.
Fireplace grate
Initially we had problems with smoke in the house. After moving the back of the grate to the back of the fire box it worked perfectly and the wood burned down to all ashes. The elevated style did promote greater air flow to the wood making for a very efficient fire. Very satisfied with the grate; it is well made and the construction is strong and well designed.
Review of Vestal 27" Tall Modern
I am amazed at how much better my fire burns with this grate. Perfect clearance for my gas starter and the grate holds the coals close to the wood allowing for a much better burn. Wood that wouldn't burn well with my old grate now burns very well. It's not often I am this happy with a purchase.
Am totally satisfied with the grate. Thank you.
Really pleased with both the product and the fast shipping.
excellent product with not so great price / get what you pay
High quality...surpassed all expectations.
Nothing special
When I got it it was a nice deep black. After a couple uses it is now more of an off-white. Not sure what makes it like that but it looked a lot better black.
Grates are very sturdy otherwise they would not have survived your packaging. The grates were just put into the box with no cushioning. The box arrived crushed on one end. I thought Oh No !! But they were Ok.
Best purchase of the year.
Vestalk 27" grate
This item arrived very quickly after my order. It was exactly what I wanted. One negative was that there was no packing material in the shippING carton. The grate was just flopping around in the box and the box arrived in damaged condition. The grate was not damaged. But better care shold have been employed.
I like the grate but I have to use it more to give a complete review. So far, so good, though. I would like it about an inch deeper.
Nice Grate
This grate replaces a 30 year old grate that was burned through years ago. Order process was easy and shipment was very prompt. I was very pleased after the first fire with my new grate.
Fireplace Grate
Very satisfied. It fits over my gas log starter. I have been looking for a grate that would for a long that had longer legs. Works very well.
Fireplace grate
The grate is absolutely perfect!
Woodland Direct: Am happy to report that the grate arrived on time, in excellent condition, and your pricing was very good. Indeed, was happy to find that the grate (Vestal -- a Tennessee-based company) was American-made. Fits the firebox and works very well. I'll surely order any other fireplace items from Woodland Direct and make a note of telling my friends about your company, too.
fireplace grate
4 inch legs mean the ashes do not have to be removed as often Perfect size All one piece Hot wood coals do not fall through the grate
Fireplace grate
I bought the grate as a birthday gift, and am delighted with the quality and design. It is very well made and sturdy, beautiful to look at in our fireplace - and our fire on Saturday night was a pleasure! Thanks for great service and delivery as well.
Quality Product
I live in Michigan, and burn almost every weekend during the winter. I love a warm fire. Over the past 5 years I have replaced 2 welded grates. One, I even welded and reinforced the second one with heavy bar stock. It still melted and eroded away in spots. I wanted something better. I reviewed many cast iron products. This one received great reviews and is made in the US. I will happily support American workers but the quality is great as well. Win win! After a few fire cycles it appears untouched. The finish quality is good, no major flashing left on the product from the casting process. Shipping? it was great, it arrived in two days and in a heavy box. I expect this to last for a long, long time.
Perfect Grate
I bought this grate because I have a gas "log lighter" and my last grate allowed the embers through which overheated the pipe and caused it to bend and rot out. This grate keeps the embers in place well above and is a great fit for my manufactured fireplace. The airflow through the grate is also very good. I recommend it.
Fireplace grate
Delivery was prompt. Easy website to navigate. The grate is in an 80 year old fireplace and looks like it is a part of the decor. Looks sturdy and well made.

Metal Core band, Devil Wears Prada have recently released a new single, "Aliens," which is taken from their conceptual EP, Space.
"We learned a lot from the Zombie EP," says frontman Mike Hranica of the band's critically acclaimed 2010 hit. "We wanted each song on the Space EP to have a specificity about it; to have its own identity separate from the others, to have its own sound, but still have them all united in concept. We talked about a lot of different themes, but 'space' just felt right."
While many bands find the topic of extraterrestrials a concept to poke fun at, it's good to see the topic being taken seriously, even when it's a metal core band.
Anywho… listen to the song below!

The Okaysou Airmax8L Medical Grade is built in a sleek unique design that is best when used in small to large rooms such as the office, bedroom, kitchens, and even basements. It weighs 13.75 pounds (6.2kg) and is of size 12.9 by 7.1 by 19.4 inches. (32 by 18 by 49.28 cm)
1. Coverage
This Okaysou air purifier is recommended for 320 square feet (29.73 square meters) up to 800 square feet (74.32 square meters). It generates 1.5 times per hour in a room of 800sq.ft (74.32 square meters) room, 3 times per hour in 500sq.ft(46.45 square meters) room, and 5 times per hour in 320sq.ft(29.73 square meters) room.
2. HEPA Filters
This Airmax8L comes with a dual filter that is responsible for increasing the amount of activated carbon exposed to the air to provide superior removal of odors and any harmful gases.
The Okaysu Airmax8L has a 5-stage air cleaning system and this makes it quite unique.
- Pre-filter- This prefilter captures large particles such as dust mites, pet dander, and fur. This helps to protect the main filter's life and hence extending its life in general. This prefilter is washable.
- True HEPA filter- These are excellent for cleaning out 99.7% of any particles or germs as tiny as 0.3 microns such as dust, pollen, pet dander and even mold spores.
- Anti-microbial treatment- Prevents any growth of bacteria on the surface of other filters.
- Activated Carbon filter – This absorbs any strong or mild smell such as the cooking smells, cigarette smell, pet odors, and even an ammonia smell.
- Cold Catalyst filter- This filter mostly helps to decompose Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs)
The anti-microbial treatment and the Cold Catalyst filter are present to support the main HEPA filter. This Okaysu is ideal for asthmatics and allergic individuals as it cleans out any asthma triggers when clearing the air in the room.
Even though there are several filters, the user needs to replace the filters every 6months for optimal performance and safety purposes. The replacement of the filter costs approximately $69 per year depending on where you get them from.
3. Filter Replacement Indicator
Notably, this Airmax8L comes with a certain sensor with an indicator base light that automatically detects airborne particles. This air filter indicator alerts you when the filter needs to be changed. To turn off the indicator light after changing the filters, you should press the sleep button for 3seconds.
4. Timer
Additionally, it comes with a timer that the user can customize and schedule to either 1, 2, 4, or 8 hours of operation. This provides you with unique purification needs for your desired time and helps to save energy.
5. Child Lock
This feature comes handy to any house with kids. When you put the child lock on, you are guaranteed no options will be interfered with or any buttons pressed accidentally. This works as a bonus feature if you own pets and even kids.
6. Sleep Mode
Okaysou Airmax8L Medical Grade is a silent air purifier but when total silence is needed, the sleep mode gives you that. When you turn on the sleep mode, the fans operate at a low speed and the light goes out. You can sleep soundly with the air purifier on without any noise problem or distraction.

The outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic has had many Arab intellectuals reflecting on the term "plague." Many re-read the French-Algerian author Albert Camus (1913-1960) due to his dual nationality and famous novel "The Plague," which won him the Nobel Prize in literature in 1957. Similarly, some Arab intellectuals have also recalled "The Cholera," a poem by Iraqi poet Nazik al-Malaika (1923-2007), which was one of her first ventures into free prose poetry. An elegy and lamentation, the tone of the poem conveyed scenes of mass death.
While intellectuals spend some of their lockdown time reading "plague" literature, politicians and pundits in Lebanon relapse into their sectarian instincts over the cause of the coronavirus pandemic, with Christians blaming Muslims and vice versa.
The failure to reason under the strain of the pandemic paved the way for the emergence of charlatans within the Arab world, floating bogus and sham cures, drugs, and magical recipes. These groups defy classification, a motley smattering of religious, superstitious, spiritual, and irrational, defying truth and science. These "fake doctors" and "neo-prophets" pose as saviors and prophets to safeguard the public from the 'fires of Hell,' while spreading misinformation on TV and social media, most predominantly on YouTube, their preferred medium."
Although not under ideal conditions of rational discourse, the pandemic revived the old clash between the will of God versus the will of science, unfortunately giving voice to those who consider the epidemic a collective punishment, and suggesting that people could be cured by a return to faith.
Critics were politicizing COVID-19 accompanied by a rampant lack of transparency in the Arab world, which put thousands at risk. Leaders also used the virus to further political conflicts against enemies, both foreign and domestic. Iran's Supreme Leader, Ali Khamenei, accused the U.S. of planting and designing the virus with genetic information of Iranians to target and harm them specifically. Others suggest that the virus is a political ploy by the West, a quest for power and domination of the weak.
Apart from the cultural, religious, and magical beliefs about the coronavirus, other sensible pundits reserved their harshest attacks for globalization. They pinned it as the cause of the virus's spread and even nicknamed it "the virus of globalization," blaming the rapid spread to the open movements between borders.
These same "sensible" critics have bought the claim that globalization and liberal trade are responsible for the pandemic, and thus they foreseen the imminent end of these global structures. They subsequently offer solutions, ranging from adopting a 16-18th mercantilist economic approach, or a return to the 20th and 21st-century authoritarian state-types as in the Soviet and Chinese traditions. Some go even further by anticipating a change in the world system, a transition back to the multipolar balance of power of the 18th and early 19th century.
