Belarus 2019
Back to Belarus
Belarus remained the sole executioner in Europe and the former Soviet region, passing three death sentences and executing at least three prisoners. Legislative amendments targeting the rights to freedom of expression and peaceful assembly further restricted, in particular, online and media activity and the right to protest. Credible evidence surfaced about hundreds of children and young people serving lengthy prison sentences for minor, non-violent drug-related offences. Vulnerable groups including Roma and LBGTI people remained at risk of discrimination although some positive steps were taken not to deport foreign nationals believed to be at risk of torture or other ill-treatment in their home countries.
Economic growth was slow. Belarus remained heavily reliant economically on Russia, while tensions persisted over the price of imported commodities and Belarus' resistance to further integration that could threaten its sovereignty. In June, Minsk hosted the 2019 European Games. Parliamentary elections in November showed low turnout and resulted in a parliament entirely loyal to the President. They were widely criticized by independent local and international observers for failing to uphold democratic standards. Numerous candidates regarded as disloyal to the regime were disqualified on questionable technical grounds, and all allegations of vote-rigging were ignored.
At least three men were executed in secrecy.
Alyaksandr Zhylnikau's lawyer visited him in prison on 13 June and was told her client had "served his sentence." At the end of the year, the family had still not received official information regarding his execution. No official information was available regarding his co-defendant, Viachaslau Sukharko, but it is believed he was also executed. The UN Human Rights Committee had requested a stay of execution for Alyaksandr Zhylnikau while it considered his case. Since 2010, Belarus has ignored 13 other such requests by this committee and executed prisoners whose cases were under consideration. Alyaksandr Asipovich was executed on 17 December, after being sentenced to death on 9 January.
Two other men were sentenced to death for murder in separate cases; Viktar Paulau and Viktar Serhil.
Freedom of expression continued to be severely restricted in law and in practice. Government critics and other dissenting voices faced harassment and other reprisals from the authorities, including in administrative and criminal proceedings.
The changes to the Law on Mass Media which entered into force in December 2018, considerably tightened state control over online media. The law compelled registered and unregistered online media outlets to record the names of people who submit comments and disclose the relevant information to the authorities on request. It also made the owners of registered online media liable for the content of the comments.
Despite a hiatus in the harassment of journalists which coincided with the European Games in Minsk in June, the authorities continued to impose heavy fines on freelance journalists cooperating with international media. Article 22.9 of the Code of Administrative Offences ("unlawful creation and dissemination of mass media produce") was used to penalize journalists providing content to foreign media unless accredited with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
Access to the independent news site Charter'97 remained blocked following the authorities' move to restrict access to it in January 2018.
The harassment of anarchist and former prisoner of conscience, Dzmitry Paliyenka, continued. He was arrested and held in pre-trial detention from March to October, with four charges brought against him. Three were manifestly unfounded and were dropped during his trial, but he was convicted on tenuous grounds and given a non-custodial sentence for hooliganism which he was appealing at the end of the year.
Freedom of assembly
The right to freedom of peaceful assembly remained severely restricted, in law and practice, and those who attempted to exercise it faced arrest by police (often using excessive force), heavy fines and arbitrary detention.
Changes to the Law on Mass Events entered into force in January and established new procedures and fees for organisers of public events who were obliged to pay for policing, medical and clear-up costs. Not only did all assemblies still require prior notification and the authorities' express permission, but the notification procedure was extended to certain, previously pre-approved, areas (designated typically in remote locations). Approvals for assemblies in other areas were in practice often refused or delayed.
Article 23.34 of the Code of Administrative Offences ("violating the rules of organising and holding mass events") continued to be used to prevent people from exercising their right to peaceful assembly.
The unofficial Freedom Day celebrations in March were restricted. On 24 March, event organisers and peaceful protesters were detained during a pre-authorised event in Kievsky Park in Minsk which was attended by over 1,000 people. On 25 March, independent media and civil society representatives were prevented from holding a peaceful commemorative event at Kastryčnickaja Square in Minsk amidst heavy policing. At least 15 people were detained in unmarked police vehicles. All those detained on both days were later released without charge.
Despite calls from the UN Special Rapporteur on the human rights situation in Belarus for fundamental freedoms to be respected ahead of the parliamentary elections in November, dozens of people, including electoral candidates, were convicted or were facing administrative charges under Article 23.34 for their peaceful participation in unauthorized protests during the parliamentary election campaign and in December protests against possible deepening integration with Russia. Protestors were fined and/or sentenced to between five and 45 days' administrative detention and repeated requests by lawyers to access some of those detained were arbitrarily denied.
Obstacles to officially registering independent NGOs remained in place, with registration applications turned down for arbitrary reasons.
The repealed Article 193.1 of the Criminal Code, which criminalised participation in the activities of an unregistered organisation, was replaced with Article 23.88 in the Code of Administrative Offences which gave the police authority to fine "offenders" up to 1,275 Belarusian rubles (US$ 615) without judicial review.
Justice system - juvenile justice and fair trials
Credible evidence surfaced about hundreds of children and young people serving lengthy prison sentences for minor, non-violent drug-related offences. Among these, dozens and possibly hundreds were serving lengthy sentences for minor, non-violent drug-related offences committed when they were children. Many did not receive fair trials, with children as young as 16 imprisoned for to up to 11 years under Article 328 of the Criminal Code for illicit drug trafficking as members of criminal "groups", often without other group members identified. Five UN Special Procedures, including the Working Group on Arbitrary Detention and the Special Rapporteur on torture and other cruel, inhuman and degrading treatment or punishment, expressed their concern to the authorities in October regarding the situation of children arrested and detained in relation to drug offences.
Excessive use of force and other human rights violations by law enforcement officials, including hours-long incommunicado detention and ill-treatment of children arrested for drugs, and fabrication of evidence through setup, were reported from earlier years. In August, a former commanding police officer from Mahilyou was sentenced to 10 years in prison, reportedly for framing alleged drug traffickers. His trial was closed and the indictment kept classified, depriving alleged victims of his crimes of a chance to have their convictions challenged.
Harsh conditions and discriminatory treatment in prisons of children convicted of drug offences were widely reported.
Several vulnerable minority groups continued to face discrimination and inadequate protection before the law, leading to a climate of fear and self-censorship.
The Roma community remained socially marginalized, especially in the areas of employment and education.
In May, following the suspected murder of a traffic police officer, the authorities in Mahilyou raided a number of Roma communities using excessive force to detain dozens of people, including children. According to local human rights defenders, over 50 men were arbitrarily detained for three days and released without charge. The police officer's death was later attributed to suicide. Despite an official apology to the Roma communities, the authorities have not initiated any proceedings against those law enforcement officers who used excessive force.
Lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and intersex (LGBTI) people continued to face harassment including stigmatizing and discriminatory rhetoric from state officials.
In May, the Ministry of Internal Affairs published an article on its website which referred to "the destructive impact of the views and ideas of the LGBT community" and stated that "[a]lthough science has not established a direct relationship between pedophilia and same-sex sexual relations, the numbers speak for themselves".
Following a verbal and physical attack on film-maker Mikhail Kuprich in August by a man who believed him to be gay, on 24 December, a court in Minsk found the assailant guilty of "malicious hooliganism" under Article 339.2 and sentenced him to 18 months' restricted freedom (parole-like non-custodial sentence) and ordered him to pay financial compensation to Mikhail Kuprich. However, a request made by Mikhail Kuprich's lawyer to amend the original charge of hooliganism to reflect the hate motive was rejected.
Rights of migrants and asylum-seekers
Belarus continued to forcibly return foreign nationals, including asylum-seekers, to countries where they were at risk of serious human rights violations including torture and other ill-treatment, in violation of the principle of non-refoulement.
In May, opposition activist and journalist from Ingushetia, Ismail Nalgiev, was arrested at Minsk airport. He was forcibly returned to Russia on 10 May despite fears that he was at risk of politically motivated prosecution, torture and other ill-treatment, and an unfair trial. In Russia, he was detained under politically motivated charges of "use of force against an official" in connection with the 26-27 March protests in Ingushetia.
On a positive note, on 17 June, Merhdad Jamshidian, an Iranian national, was given one-year residence status "on humanitarian grounds". In September it was extended to five years. Mehrdad Jamshidian, resident in Belarus since 1993 and married to a local woman with whom he had three children, had spent 11 months in temporary detention following deportation requests from Iran where he would be at risk of torture and other ill-treatment, and the death penalty.

Robots have captured the imaginations of people for decades as a world filled with them serving in numerous capacities has been envisioned as the probable future.
That has generated all sorts of interest from writers and artists, as well as those seeking to have some permanent robot ink on their bodies.
Most of the robot tattoos are surprisingly creative and different, and instead of gravitating towards the more ominous look and feel one would associate with the "Terminator" movie, they look more like the vintage toy robots of the past, or more of a playful robot you would picture as part of a cartoon.
There are a few exceptions, of course, but overall, robot tattoos are a lot more whimsical and fun than I would have thought, and were a nice surprise to see.
This particular article isn't about bio-mechanical tattoos, where the appearance a person is robotic within. Those are compelling and awesome when done right, but not the subject matter here.
Here we're going to look at standalone robots in and of themselves as tattoos.
With this first robot tattoo, which one of a cartoon robot, it's as simple as it gets as far as design goes, but is very compelling in my view.
It's probably the combination of color and humor of the big robot eyes that creates the great effect. You just look at the little robot and instantly like him. That little slanted mouth is also hilarious.
This shows the subject matter doesn't have to be tremendously sophisticated in order to have a great tattoo.
I won't get into what some would consider the difference between a regular robot and a droid, but this one looks great.
The combination of solid black and using the lack of ink on the skin to create the design works really well. It's also not easy to do, even though when they're done right like here, it appears so.
My favorite part is the circular dials on the chest. Many of the old toy robots had this as part of their design.
Bicycles, other than our knees and feet, are one of the first forms of transportation we use, and for many people that fascination has never left them, prompting them to get a tattoo with the bicycle or some of its parts as the center of the design..
I guess you could have used any dance term to describe this robot, who apparently enjoys bogeying. The position of the robot makes it appear that he is dancing to hip hop, so that's what we'll go with.
My favorite part is what seems to be electricity flowing back between those antenna-like things on the head.
Bulls are a huge part of cowboy culture, as they were representative of the future of cattle, with the best sires a look into the future of the herds. That and the power of this magnificent creature makes them a fantastic design choice for a tattoo,.
This tattoo of a robot head is pretty cool. It would have looked better on a larger skin canvass, as you can't get the full effect of the design as it is. That's something that should be carefully considered when making tattoo decisions.
I've seen fantastically designed tattoos suffer because they weren't placed where they could be fully seen and appreciated. Most of the time if you have to go around the body or part of the body to see the tattoo, it's usually not a good idea. The exception are larger tattoos of a scene, where the background and characters are carefully and strategically placed.
The robot tattoo, other than the limitations, looks fantastic. I like those little round connectors on the top of the head.
For me, tattoos that combine themes can be awesome, and it's pretty creative this robot skeleton tattoo below. I guess this is the future of all aging robots, which many of us people can relate to.
The design is high quality, and the shading makes it stand out nicely.
One thing creative people have done with robots for a long time is to make them similar to people, in that they have an array of emotions.
This tattoo is a good example of that, revealing that this little fellow has suffered a broken heart.
The drooping antenna on the head and sad-looking eyes really make this work well.
Making a robot look more human like is becoming more of a reality in the real world, as the Japanese have already made some hospital service robots appear more human-like.
No matter what types of breakthroughs we have in this world, right on the heels of them will be those with an artistic bent who will start to offer up their interpretation to the subject matter.
That's obviously true with robots and tattoos, and will continue to be as we forge forward into the future. I like that most of the robots retain a more winsome and fun look, rather than some of the darker and dystopian looks and feel novels and movies have portrayed.


The reigning "Airbnb of China" is going all out to increase its competitive edge in the country as its leading homesharing platform.
At the same time Airbnb announced its plans to rebrand itself in China and double down on its investment in one of the world's largest travel markets, the reigning "Airbnb of China," Tujia, also announced its future plans and strategy.
At the 2017 Tujia Open World Summit, Tujia CEO and co-founder Justin Luo spoke about the company's "3+1" development strategy for the year and other company executives detailed new product launches, looking at the following four perspectives: consumers, hosts, property buyers, and regionalization.
Tujia, which has backing from Ctrip and Expedia, is valued at $1 billion. Whereas Airbnb in China, now known as Aibiying after its rebranding, has approximately 80,000 listings in the region, Tujia has more than 430,000.
Much like Airbnb has done so with its investments in better "matching" of homes to users, Tujia is pursuing similar investments in personalizing the lodging experience for its guest. The company said it wants to allow for the addition or more features such as "multiple people" and "extended period of stay" to better accommodate business travelers, family groups, and transitional accommodation.
To achieve this, the company plans to harness more resources and better housing options through eight different platforms, including Tujia, mayi.com, Ctrip, Elong, Qunar.com and others.
The company is also looking to offer the services it offers to guests. While the company has always provided additional services for both hosts and guests that include cleaning, etc., Tujia wants to expand those services to also include more functions that address safety, cleaning, searching, and payment.
And because "trust" between hosts and guests is still something that is an area of focus for travelers in China who may still be new to the concept of home sharing, Tujia implemented a "concern-free living strategy that includes a house inspection, Tujia premium hosts, two-way evaluation between hosts and guests, Ctrip credit, Zhima credit, and compensation.
Tujia has consolidated all eight of it platforms, including Tujia.com, Mayi.com, Ctrip.com, Elong.com, Qunar.com and 58.com, WeChat hotel booking, and Zhima Credit into a 'one-click' solution in an effort to make things as easy as possible for hosts.
Hosts can now use the Tujia app to control the price, availability, and bookings of its rentals, as well as communicate directly with guests.
In 10 cities, Tujia is also conducting a pilot to provide room cleaning, towel and bed sheet laundry, and smart lock service to help more hosts share out their properties.
And just as Airbnb focused on improving the overall hospitality expertise of its host community over the past few years, Tujia is doing the same, investing in operational training, security consulting, income management and other service support to help the hosts become more professional. The company said hosts that are taught better income management can improve their incomes by 10 percent.
Additionally, Tujia hosts can use Sweetome flagship stores, Tujia housekeeping service centers, and branded franchise stores to purchase resources, services, and merchandise needed for their rentals.
Tujia wants to work hand in hand with property developers to ensure it has a stable supply of rental listings and make sure the process of renting on Tujia is as seamless and easy for property buyers as possible. It has a "TuLifang Solution" that provides both housekeeping and property management services from the very beginning, so even before someone actually buys a home, he/she knows they can very easily rent it out on Tujia, improving the value of the home to buyers.
For more insight into Tujia's strategy, check out Skift's one-on-one interview with Tujia co-founder and chief technology officer Melissa Yang.

Fun, engaging, and totally out of nowhere, this is a unique multi-sensory customer experience that will really sell that $20 fill up bucket.


Setting: The Five Hundred Kingdoms, where the Tradition rules all life.
Reason for Reading: I have enjoyed the previous books in this series.

First line: "Mirror, mirror, in my hand, who's the fairest in the land?' Fairy Godmother Lily stared intently into the book-size, gilt-framed mirror she held cupped between her palms, and muttered under her breath, 'And if you say you are, Jimson, I am going to hurl you so hard against the wall they'll be looking for your shards with tweezers for years.'"
Best part: The inclusion of the Ring Cycle in this was quite frankly hilarious.
Worst part: A few aspects of the story seemed a little too easy.
Recommended for: Anyone who enjoys the Sleeping Beauty fairy tale should give it a look.

Potential US abortion ban 'a gross violation of human rights law'
Right after a draft the greater part view of the Supreme Court docket of the United States was leaked before this month, 1 lawful institute has warned that banning abortions across the US would characterize a large step back again.
Tens of millions of American girls have confronted the probable of their suitable to select being taken absent, soon after the prospective that the landmark 1973 ruling in Roe v Wade will be overturned next a leaked document.
In the Roe v Wade selection, upheld in Prepared Parenthood v Casey (1992), the Supreme Court of the United States (SCOTUS) held that the US structure shields the right to decide on to have an abortion prior to foetal viability. Having said that, a leaked draft bulk feeling of the SCOTUS in the case of Dobbs v Jackson Women's Well being, which considers the constitutionality of a Mississippi law that bans most abortions following 15 months, retains that "Roe and Casey must be overruled. The structure would make no reference to abortion, and no this kind of appropriate is implicitly secured by any constitutional provision …"
This has sparked outrage across the planet – and Worldwide Bar Association's Human Legal rights Institute (IBAHRI) co-chair, and fast past secretary-basic of the Swedish Bar Association, Anne Ramberg Dr Jur hc, stated that the leaked view is of great concern.
"Roe v Wade is the backbone of reproductive rights in the United States, guaranteeing a woman's ideal to decide on for nearly 50 yrs," she said.
"To overrule it would reverse 1 of the most essential precedents in US record and symbolize a backwards action at a time when numerous countries in the Americas – which include Argentina, Colombia, and Mexico – are relocating forwards in the security of reproductive legal rights. The IBAHRI urges the Supreme Court docket to protect the legal rights of women, together with to have an abortion."
Whilst banning abortion has little or no result on the quantity of abortions in the earth, info from the Globe Well being Organisation has demonstrated that 47,000 folks die from unsafe abortions per yr, with upwards of 5 million hospitalised from difficulties.
IBAHRI director Helena Kennedy QC mentioned that international human legal rights legislation protects risk-free and authorized abortion accessibility as a result of the proper to the best attainable normal of health, which contains reproductive legal rights.
"The right to select irrespective of whether to have an abortion is a basic pillar of women's reproductive legal rights. But elements these types of as incapacity, gender id, poverty and race are inherently intertwined with obtain to abortion providers," she reported.
"Overruling Roe v Wade would have a devastating influence on the lives of girls, primarily for lower-earnings ladies and gals from marginalised communities. Allowing abortion bans will not cease girls from undergoing this procedure, but will fairly cause a rise in unsafe abortions, which in accordance to the Place of work of the Higher Commissioner for Human Legal rights, end result in virtually 8 for each cent of maternal fatalities annually."
IBAHRI co-chair Mark Stephens CBE added that if abortion guidelines have been reversed, it would result in "a immediate assault on the legal legal rights, dignity and life of women".
"A woman's bodily autonomy is an inalienable proper in global human rights regulation. Denying accessibility to wellbeing solutions that only females demand, which include abortion, is an example of gender-primarily based discrimination, and can constitute gender-primarily based violence, torture and/or cruel, inhuman and degrading remedy. Ensuring obtain to abortion products and services in accordance with human rights criteria is part of the United States' obligations in legislation to eliminate discrimination in opposition to women and to ensure women's proper to wellness as properly as other elementary human rights," he mentioned.
"Treaty system jurisprudence has regularly recognised the universal principle, that denying women access to abortion will amount of money to decriminalisation, and also violations of a woman's legal rights to health, privacy and, in selected instances, the correct to be free of charge from cruel, inhumane and degrading cure – by becoming arbitrarily needed by legislation to have a foetus to phrase."
In accordance to the Center for Reproductive Legal rights, if Roe v Wade is overturned, abortion legal rights would be shielded in much less than fifty percent of the US states and none of the US territories. These states, exactly where many women presently encounter boundaries in accessing abortion expert services owing to structural and intersectional discrimination, could halt authorized protections for abortion or prohibit them solely if abortion guidelines are reversed.
"It demands to be remembered that the have to have for authorized abortion to be protected and available was supported by states at the Intercontinental Conference on Population and Progress (ICPD), held in Cairo in 1994. At that conference, states recognised unsafe abortion as a important community overall health problem, and even though pledging their commitment to minimizing the need to have for abortion via expanded and improved family members setting up companies, at the similar time recognising that, abortion ought to be protected. And also recalling that the specific identical language on abortion was adopted by states in the Beijing System for Action, which was agreed at the 1995 Fourth Environment Meeting on Ladies," Mr Stephens included.
"International human rights law not only protects safe and sound and lawful abortion entry it also safeguards the correct to equality and non-discrimination. To overturn or curtail constitutional protections to abortion accessibility constitutes a gross violation of human rights legislation."

First off we need to remember that regardless of what Hurricane Joaquin does the weather into Saturday here doesn't look especially good as we have a very strong northeast flow thanks to high pressure to the north and lower pressures southward along the east coast down into the Bahamas with Hurricane Joaquin. The hurricane is not directly causing this and we would be experiencing noreaster like conditions regardless of there being a hurricane or not.
We have a COASTAL FLOOD WATCH up for Long Island south and north shores and for New Jersey through Saturday afternoon. Tides are going to run 1 foot above normal today and at least 1 to 2 feet or even a little higher Friday and Saturday at the high tides. The prolonged easterly flow is a problem as the water continues to build higher after each high tide and less goes out at each low tide. Moderate coastal flooding is possible into the weekend. Gale Warnings are in effect along the coast. Latest tidal and marine information is on the marine forecast page with interactive wind and tide widgets for you.
I don't foresee much rain today the main frontal boundry south into Virginia. Some rain is likely to move northward during tonight and on Friday but the heaviest rain should be to our south.Then the rain area drops southward Friday night and Saturday and as the hurricane takes the track offshore, the heavy rains here may not materialize. The GFS model trended further east overnight from what we saw at midnight last night. and this goes along with the Europeans idea which has now shown an out to sea solution for 4 runs in a row. It is really become very hard to ignore as models all begin to shift in this direction. We will need 1 or 2 more model cycles to confirm this trend. But it is starting to look that way.

Ministry offers three Musandam castles for investment
20 Dec 2021 By MOHAMMED TAHA
Muscat – The Ministry of Heritage and Tourism (MHT) is offering three castles for investment in Musandam governorate.
Forts and castles in the sultanate attract a large number of tourists because of their unique place in the history of the region.
An MHT official said, "As part of its efforts to support the national economy and benefit from the presence of these historical structures in the country, the ministry has floated a tender for investment in three castles."
The three castles open for investment are Bukha castle in the wilayat of Bukha, and Kumzarah castle and Khasab castle in the wilayat of Khasab.
The ministry launched the tender with the aim of allowing the local community to invest in these tourist sites and called on those interested to submit an action plan for the development of the three castles.
The ministry official informed that the deadline for submission of bids is January 13, 2022.
The ministry is exerting great efforts to restore archaeological and historical monuments such as castles, forts and old houses spread across all governorates.
Elaborating on MHT's efforts to develop forts, he said, the ministry signed an agreement this month with a private company to operate Muttrah Fort and the Grand House in the wilayat of Muttrah.
"In November, the ministry announced that it is planning to offer Rustaq Fort in South Batinah to investors after its ongoing restoration work is completed. The ministry has also begun restoration work of Ras al Hadd Fort in the wilayat of Sur in South Sharqiyah governorate in October. The work is scheduled for completion at the end of 2021."
There were 366,360 visitors to castles and forts in Oman in 2018. In 2020, 133,464 people visited castles and forts compared to 426,525 in 2019, a decrease of 68.6 per cent. The ministry is currently working to establish numerous projects to attract tourists to achieve the strategic goals of Oman Vision 2040.


The handle-mechanisms should not be supervision primarily based, but could be reputation-primarily based for instance, allowing the marketplace to monitor and redress, rather than costly supervisors. Celebration A based its reasoning on the fact that our law permits for something as 'current money' to be employed in order to pay a sum of money. Although I would agree that several entrepreneurs no longer require a website these days to grow to be very wealthy. It really is attainable to market place internationally on some internet sites but I sell only domestically, due to the expense of sending overseas. In order to get stocks on the internet, you will require to discover and sign up for a discount stock broker.
With that framework in mind, we have updated and adapted the Money as You Grow activities and content material. Purchasing cheap insurance online is one way men and women can save some of their difficult earned money. The government is normally hesitant to print new money during a recession since the flood of spendable cash can lead to inflation. Although not a rapid profit like day trading, these who invest for the longer term have a much larger accomplishment price.
The Cavern route has a Large Important chest (you will come to treasure these later on), two Tiny Important chests, adequate money bags that you won't miss the tree-stash significantly, and more foes to fight, which implies a lot more drops. None of these have been in fact achievable, since even opening a bank account locally required that I wait till the check cleared rather than money it. You need not to invest money or significantly time in order to become effective in any of these fields. The unintended consequence of unfavorable interest prices is that they destroy money.

The Sixth Seal Is Past Due (Revelation 6:12)

New York City is Past Due for an Earthquake
by Jessica Dailey, 03/22/11
New York City may appear to be an unlikely place for a major earthquake, but according to history, we're past due for a serious shake. Seismologists at Columbia University's Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory say that about once every 100 years, an earthquake of at least a magnitude of 5.0 rocks the Big Apple. The last one was a 5.3 tremor that hit in 1884 — no one was killed, but buildings were damaged.
Any tremor above a 6.0 magnitude can be catastrophic, but it is extremely unlikely that New York would ever experience a quake like the recent 8.9 earthquake in Japan. A study by the Earth Observatory found that a 6.0 quake hits the area about every 670 years, and a 7.0 magnitude hits about every 3,400 years.
There are several fault lines in New York's metro area, including one along 125th Street, which may have caused two small tremors in 1981 and a 5.2 magnitude quake in 1737. There is also a fault line on Dyckman Street in Inwood, and another in Dobbs Ferry in Westchester County. The New York City Area Consortium for Earthquake Loss Mitigation rates the chance of an earthquake hitting the city as moderate.
John Armbruster, a seismologist at the Earth Observatory, said that if a 5.0 magnitude quake struck New York today, it would result in hundreds of millions, possibly billions of dollars in damages. The city's skyscrapers would not collapse, but older brick buildings and chimneys would topple, likely resulting in casualities.
The Earth Observatory is expanding its studies of potential earthquake damage to the city. They currently have six seismometers at different landmarks throughout the five boroughs, and this summer, they plan to place one at the arch in Washington Square Park and another in Bryant Park.
Won-Young Kim, who works alongside Armbuster, says his biggest concern is that we can't predict when an earthquake might hit. "It can happen anytime soon," Kim told the Metro. If it happened tomorrow, he added, "I would not be surprised. We can expect it any minute, we just don't know when and where."
Armbuster voiced similar concerns to the Daily News. "Will there be one in my lifetime or your lifetime? I don't know," he said. "But this is the longest period we've gone without one."

The Last 100 Years
Al Murray
An awful lot has happened in the last 100 years or so. In fact, when you look at how much went on in the 20th century, it's amazing it didn't take longer than that. And what have we learnt? A few obvious lessons include: megalomaniac men with moustaches in charge of countries tend to turn out to be BAD; anyone who thinks they can explain let alone sort out the Middle East is WRONG; France simply cannot be relied upon; America may or may not be the cause of everything GOOD and BAD in the world [depending on who you ask]. This isn't your bog-standard history book. We all know that history books (Which Shall Not be Questioned because they ARE ALL TRUE according to our History Teachers of Yore) are dry and dull, and they go on as if there's only ONE version of history (spoiler: it's all about perspective). Enter Al Murray, alter-ego of everyone's favourite Pub Landlord. Al knows his way around 20th century Britain, and he's good enough to illuminate it for you. From the Big Bang of the 20th Century, DOUBLEYOUDOUBLEYOU ONE, to the eve of the new Millennium (when all the computers in the World DIDN'T stop working and the Queen had to do the Hokey Cokey with Tony Blair) and all the forgotten tales in between, this is a brilliantly funny, irreverent and eye-opening whistle-stop tour of Britain since 1914.

Meet Dr. Antonetti

Breast Implants - Plano Plastic
Since the FDA approved the use of silicone breast implants in 2006, women have enjoyed greater freedom of choice when undergoing breast augmentation or breast reconstruction. It is important, however, that women fully understand their options before deciding between silicone and saline breast implants. During a consultation at our Dallas / Fort Worth-area practice with Dr. Alfred Antonetti, women can learn about the differences between saline and silicone breast implants. Although Dr. Antonetti may recommend a particular type of implant depending on a woman's body type and aesthetic desires, the ultimate decision lies with the patient.
Whether for a breast augmentation, lift, or reconstruction, if you are interested in breast implants, contact our Dallas cosmetic surgery center today to schedule an appointment with a board-certified plastic surgeon.
Saline vs. Silicone Breast Implants
There are several differences of which women should be aware when deciding between saline and silicone breast implants. Dr. Alfred Antonetti is always happy to help patients make educated decisions.
Composed of a silicone shell filled with a sterile salt-water solution, saline breast implants allow more options for placement than their silicone-filled counterparts. Because saline implants are initially empty, only being filled after insertion, they may be placed through the armpit, belly button, the breast crease, or the areola. They also require a smaller incision than silicone breast implants. However, some women, especially very slender women with a minimal amount of soft tissue, believe that saline implants feel less natural than those filled with silicone.
Since silicone breast implants come pre-filled, there are fewer options regarding their placement. Incisions for breast surgery with silicone implants are also typically larger than those used with saline implants. However, many women note that breast implants made with silicone look and feel more natural than those filled with saline.
About Your Breast Enlargement Procedure
There are several options available when it comes to breast augmentation techniques at our Dallas / Fort Worth-area surgical center. Dr. Antonetti can help you choose the one that is best for you based on your physiology and goals.
History of Breast Implants
1800s – In the late 1800s, paraffin injections were used by some women who were interested in augmenting their bust lines. Unfortunately, this early attempt resulted in infections and hardening of the breasts.
1920s – Introduced as a more natural method of breast augmentation, fat transplants involved the removal of fat from the abdomen or buttocks to be placed in the breasts. This technique, too, failed because of the body's tendency to reabsorb the fat, leaving the breasts lumpy and misshapen.
1950s – Polyvinyl sponges enjoyed a brief period of success until it was realized that after about a year, the sponges would start to shrivel and harden.
1960s – Silicone shots were used in the early 1960s with disastrous consequences. Women experienced infections, lumps, and organ failure.
1963 – The first silicone gel-filled implants were marketed. They would be further developed during the 1970s. Three years later, the saline implant was introduced.
1992 – Due to the possibility that silicone implants could rupture and leak, leading to health complications, the FDA issued a ban on the use of silicone breast implants in breast augmentation patients. Silicone implants, however, remained in use in other countries.
2000 – The new millennium witnessed the growing popularity of saline-filled breast implants, which were approved by the FDA in May.
2006 – After over a decade of extensive research, the FDA allowed the reintroduction of silicone breast implants, approving them for use in the United States in women 22 years of age and older.
