I agree that they could have been more powerful near the end, but I still think they did a great job. I'm glad they did it in Spanish instead of Italian, just to be different. Plus, Fernando speaks Spanish, so it makes sense. And he could coach them all on the pronunciation, too.
The solo tenor who remains seems to have caught on to the whole singing pop songs in Italian thing (though I still haven't seen his performance from last night). He's a pretty good singer too, but I just like Forte better. I suppose the Hayley connection might make me a bit biased, too.
I think Josh Groban is the most likely, but I suppose Andrea Bocelli is possible, too. Or maybe even Jose Carreras or Placido Domingo? No way to tell. I doubt they'd choose Katherine Jenkins, but you never know. If they go for a lady, Hayley is better known to at least Fernando, and also David Foster, though I don't know how much influence DF has on their time on this show. Probably none, otherwise that wouldn't be fair. But, of course, DF used to produce JG, so you never know. Besides, I have a hard time imagining KJ's voice blending with 3 guys' voices without being over-powered.
Katherine Jenkins is more known to David Foster than Hayley is. He even produced an album for her. www.youtube.com/watch?v=G_ycWN9vg6Q Wonderful performance. I can see her voice going better with the guys than Hayley's current singing, though I'd really want Hayley to appear for the publicity that she'll get. And also she'd be singing something classical and operatic, so it'll be a good show.
And usually these celebrity duets call in really big deals, I'm sure majority of the audience won't go YAY! omg it's Hayley! when Hayley appears, though they'll be like 'wow!' after the performance.
And Katherine has already been invited by Rhydian for X factor. Possible candidate much. And I think a fourth male voice won't sound great together with the already complete 3 part vocals of forte. It will either sound too much like a choir or it'll be unpleasant. So a female voice would balance the strong male vocals. And we know who's got the best voice....XD Canto della terra, Hayley and the guys, would be amazing!
EDIT: Wait usually they sing the song they auditioned for right? XD That has to be pie jesu, but then there was that other guy. So it's prayer D:, And who can do it better than Hayley? And fernando has performed that song with her, so he should know! Now I really want hayley to appear XD singing that song.
I was looking at some male ensembles and what a find! www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=SfGTq71VXfo#t=205 They blow forte out of the water. I was wondering why forte didn't work as perfectly as it should've with all the great voices, the problem being that each singer is unknowingly trying to outsing the other, ofcourse they all want to give their best and they have really powerful voices. And sometimes this becomes a little too much, that you wish some parts for sung by just two or one.
As to what I said earlier about a fourth male singer being too much, well I take it back, there were six of these guys and what a bliss.
It's a thing that's common in these harmony groups that come for these talent shows, even with female groups it's a little too much to take however good they are. But then we see Celtic woman, who do perfect harmonies.
Whenever I perform acapellas with my band, people always say the harmonies were a little overpowering, all of you are belting, and stuff like that even though they do compliment that the harmonies were spot on and that individually each are good singers. It's just a very difficult thing to pull off on stage.
The King's Singers have been going for decades, and they are great. Even more interesting in my opinion are anuna, there are usually 18 of them, 9 male and 9 female. Some of the vocal effects the achieve are amazing sometimes you would be sure there was some instrument playing behind them when there isn't.
I wanted to post a link and there are so many. They have done so much amazing stuff. But I've chosen one led by a singer well known to Hayley and CW fans.
Well, for me, after hearing Il Divo and being put off by the guy with the harsh voice, Forte sound great! I know they aren't necessarily the most amazing group out there, but I don't care. I enjoy their sound, and part of my interest in them lies with Hayley, of course.
And David Foster apparently met Hayley in about 2005 or so, so I think DF has most likely known Hayley longer than KJ.
Oh, and it was just announced that Josh Groban and Il Divo will be performing on next week's finale show! I don't think it will be with the other performers, because they always have extra singing acts on the finale. Also, they usually keep the duet partners secret till the night of the finale. But that doesn't mean it won't happen. I'm thinking it's pretty unlikely that Hayley will be on. Just because Fernando has sung with her before doesn't mean that's who they all most want to perform with. Jackie chose Sarah Brightman because she was one of her biggest role models in her line of music.
They don't always sing their audition song on the finale. Jackie and Neal E Boyd did, but they don't all.
Even Jonathan and Charlotte, and many many more. But yeah they don't always do that I guess. And who knew when DF met KJ could have been much earlier.
And about hayley being invited, you're right, they'd probably bring in some bigger deal.
Anyway, Josh and Il Divo will be on the actual finale show; they will not be singing with anybody as part of the competition, but only for entertainment (and dragging out a 2-hour show) purposes.
Well, while Hayley was actually promoted here for a time, and KJ herself apparently was only a support act for Hayley on her UK tour, and couldn't even get anyone to take her autograph, it's not likely at all that DF would have met her back then. It's not impossible, but extremely unlikely. I bet she met him when she or whoever decided to promote herself in the US.
Here are Forte's performances. The Prayer was very good, but they cut out verses, and for some reason the timing didn't seem right to me. But Caruso was outstanding! Sean, the newer guy from Sri Lanka, has the best voice, I think, though Fernando's is very powerful. They have to win, there are other good acts, but none are as good as Forte, imo. The guy named Kenichi seems to be very popular, but other than one performance last week, I just don't really get the excitement, other than that he's unique. Well, anyway, watch Forte's performances below.
Forte unfortunately did not win, but got 4th place. I thought Kenichi probably would win, but I at least hoped Forte would get 2nd, anyway.
Hopefully this will make it less likely for Simon Cowell to control their career. David Foster needs to work with them, NOT Simco.
I'll be looking forward to their first album. They're the one tenor group I really like, and would seriously consider buying albums from and going to see live, whenever they get around to that (outside of the AGT tour, which I don't plan on attending, even if they come around here).
Well, Libby, that sort of music is a minority taste. However good you are, you will not win against good "pop" artists. Or even dance troupes or animal acts. It is hard for serious musicians to win against such stuff. They really can't be objectively judged, and most of the people who vote don't know much about music, or perhaps prefer other forms of entertainment. That show is mass market TV, nothing about quality musicianship.
Well, 4th place really isn't that bad, when you think of all the hundreds of acts that tried out. They were among the last 6 standing, so it really isn't that bad. And yes, one act that was ahead of Forte, in 3rd place, was a country singer, and country music is very popular in America, as you probably know. The guy is a good singer, too, just not very unique. Of course, the only thing unique about Forte is how they came together, not their style of music (Il Divo, Il Volo, etc.). But I was still surprised he got ahead of Forte, because I just didn't realize he would be that popular.
Anyway, as I said, if this means they'll be safe from Simon Cowell's clutches, I'll be very glad about their placement.
Already, they're saying they have a big announcement coming soon! I have a good feeling about what this might entail.
Unfortunately, since I guess Syco/Simco whatever has first dibs on the GT contestants, Forte have signed with Syco, and are not doing anything with David Foster... yet! I still live in hope.
You have all been so supportive and patient since we finished our run on America's Got Talent!
— with Fernando Varela, Sean Panikkar, Tenor and Josh Page in New York, NY.
Forte have been very busy in the studio this past week (as you can see in the photo in the post above), and are already releasing a single, Caruso, on this upcoming Monday, the 30th! Wow, that's fast! And their debut album will be out November 12th. Also, they are "headlining" the Tim Janis concert at Carnegie Hall November 16th, not to mention their Vegas show.
Well, it is Simon Cowell's record label, and isn't he known for getting his talent show singers albums out in time for the holiday season?
The song has been covered by over 150 artists, making it the second-most covered Beatles song after "Yesterday".


Together with the American Music Therapy Association, the Mid-Atlantic Regional Association for Music Therapy, and the Certification Board for Music Therapists, the Joint Task Force on Occupational Regulations tracks legislation that may impact the practice of music therapy and the ability of our clients to access our services.
The New Jersey State Task Force (NJSTF) is composed of professional music therapists who work in a variety of clinical settings and are committed to promoting music therapy and access to music therapy services in the state. With the support of the Mid-Atlantic Regional Association for Music Therapy (MAR), the American Music Therapy Association (AMTA), and the Certification Board for Music Therapists (CBMT), they work to implement the joint AMTA/CBMT State Recognition Operational Plan.
The goal of the State Recognition Operational Plan is to seek state recognition of the music therapy profession and the Music Therapist–Board Certified (MT-BC) credential, which is used to ensure that only qualified music therapists provide clinical services to the people of New Jersey. State recognition would increase access to music therapy services and further the availability of competent practice within the state. There are currently no state requirements in New Jersey to employ credentialed music therapists. NJSTF follows and responds as needed to legislative and policy issues concerning music therapy and related fields. They promote the profession and explore options for state recognition by connecting and dialoguing with New Jersey legislators.
NJSTF may be contacted through newjerseytaskforce@gmail.com if you would like to learn more about our work or if you would like to be involved in our advocacy efforts. We welcome concerned citizens, music therapists, students of music therapy, consumers, and care providers to contact us and share your experiences or concerns.

A SaaS solution is a Software Deployment model that allows the users to access a specific application or module that is hosted by the vendor as needed. Software as a service (SaaS) is commonly used with a range of different software products. The primary feature of a SaaS solution is the licensing rules. Instead of purchasing an entire application as a unit or product, clients can purchase access rights instead.
The infrastructure required to run the type of software is significant, and often based on service oriented architecture (SOA). This type of structure creates packages for different functionality as inter-operable services or modules. Each client is free to activate the different services and expand its toolkit based on its own needs and schedule. The design ensures that each module functions as an independent unit, while integrating with the other aspects of the software.

You take SUCH good pictures of your food! I always want to eat it!
I love hummus. Thank you for the recipe and the great pictures!
that looks authentic. i'm impressed. damn, i wish you could send me some. i guess if i wasn't such a lazy bunny i could make my own.
Gili - Aw, thanks. I like to make it taste as much like the Palestinian / Israeli Arab hummus I ate in Haifa as possible. I still haven't figured out how to make it that thinner consistency like they do there without watering out the taste, though. I'd send you some if I could, lazy bunny!
thanks for the info on soaking and cooking chickpeas--good recipe too!
my daughter loves hummus and Im learning the gluten free diet for her!! thank you!!! shes going to be excited!!


Shortly after finishing my first bow (before I even test shot it), I began working on my second bow. For my second bow I decided to keep things simply and use the same layout as the first bow, but do some fancy stuff with the handle and tip overlays. The bow is 72" tip to tip, parallel to a bit less than mid-limb, and has an 8" stiff handle (including fades). It took about an inch and a half of set.
I start my board bows out by cutting the limb width tapers with a table saw and then using a power planer to do the thickness profile. With this bow the width tapers came out pretty messy (freehand table saw cutting is difficult, I've since made a jig that allows me to get perfect tapers). This forced me to plane the sides of the bow, which resulted in much more narrow limbs than originally intended. Right from the start, this bow bent a lot in the tips because they were so narrow and thin, which meant that I spent the whole tillering process working on the inner and mid limbs only. By the end of the process I managed to get a fairly even bend, if a little stiff in the inner portion of the limbs.
The funny thing about all of this is that my mistake forced me to make a better bow. The tips are around 1/4" wide, which is very narrow by most standards. I wouldn't have risked narrow tips on my second bow ever, but it turned out to be a good thing. This bow shoots quite fast with no hand shock thanks to the low mass of the outer limbs.
The bow is about 40# at 28", and has a paper backing just like my first bow. The handle has three layers, and the tip overlays have 2 layers.
The alternating layers of different wood give a really nice contrast. I'm not sure what species the darker wood is, but it looks amazing. It has a really nice shine to it when oiled. The handle is bulb shaped, which turned out to be pretty comfortable.
No handle wrap because I don't want to cover up the nice looking wood. The arrow rest is 3D printed and bent to fit the bow using heat. The idea behind the design is the allow the use of arrows with vanes (shooting vanes off a shelf can cause inaccuracy because the vanes aren't flexible enough).
I'm not sure if the vane actually passes through the slot when the arrow is fired, but it seems to shoot fairly accurately.
This bow is paper backed like my first bow for some extra security and to add some more contrast. If you want to paper back a bow, I have a handy tutorial.
All in all I am very happy with this bow and feel that it is a significant improvement on my first, albeit not entirely intentional.
The tiller on this bow is quite good I think. If anything it might be a little bit whip tillered, mostly on the top limb.
Mainly I'm just happy that I've made it through two bows without breaking any! This bow has at least 500 shots through it at this point and looks as good as ever.


Bio Humus is an organic soil improving product that is very rich in composition. We supply Bio Humus Fertilizer in different grades that is to be mixed with soil (I part of the product in 2 parts of excavated soil) for efficiency. These fertilizers are mainly used in (trans) planting bushes, shrubs, hedges and different varieties of trees in gardens and open ground.
The Bio Humus Fertilizer we deal in is environmentally safe and is demanded for improving the soil fertility and yield of different types of agricultural cultures. The product displays a fine balance of nitrogen, phosphor, potassium, and microelements that slowly dissolves before being consumed by roots. These fertilizers also have good bactericidal properties that lasts for as long as 5 years. High on bio stimulators and ferments, these fertilizers have no smell and are known to "bind" the radioactive particles present in the soil. Thus, these prevent nitrates and heavy metals from entering the plants and damaging the plant health.

Is Netflix Actually Making A Live-Action Berserk?
By Sam Skopp/May 18, 2021 3:45 pm EST
Kentaro Miura's dark, medieval-inspired comic book series "Berserk" was first published in the United States by Dark Horse in 2003, meaning that the series was a notably early example of a Japanese manga translated for American audiences. That was the same year Viz Media began publishing its American version of comic anthology magazine Shonen Jump, which included the American debuts of landmark series like "One Piece" and "Naruto." The fact that the latter two series are arguably more recognizable than "Berserk" is likely due in part to the fact that, while the likes of "One Piece" and "Naruto" are relatively family-friendly, "Berserk," in both its original comic book form and subsequent anime adaptations, is extremely graphic.
Despite its notability, "Berserk" has never been adapted into a completed work. The original "Berserk" anime series ended on a cliffhanger that remains unresolved. A 2016 anime adaptation similarly has yet to continue after a two-season run that likewise ended on a cliffhanger. This recent adaptation of "Berserk" was notability controversial among fans, making the prospect of its continuation all the more unlikely.
Recently a rumor began circulating that "Berserk" was set to receive yet another adaptation by Netflix, this time as a live-action movie. Like many rumors, however, news of a live-action adaptation of "Berserk" is unsubstantiated by official sources.
@KratosChief/Twitter
According to a report about the incident by the blog What's On Netflix, the source of the live-action "Berserk" movie rumor was a fan's Instagram mock-up of what a poster for such a film might look like. They included in their mock-up a Netflix logo, presumably to give the fake movie poster the veneer of officiality. The poster was never intended to be present the idea of a Netflix "Berserk" movie as a reality, however. Included in the caption that accompanied the photo was an outright confirmation that the post was "a joke." That said, that same fan shared their mock-up to Twitter without that all-important qualifier. Though they linked to their Instagram post including the disclaimer that the poster is indeed unofficial, replies to the widely shared tweet seem to indicate that at least some of those who saw it thought it to be genuine.
So, in short, Netflix is not producing a live-action "Berserk" movie. That said, the fact that a fan-made movie poster could spur widespread interest does indicate that a sizable audience exists for such a project. While this is far from a confirmation that "Berserk" will one day be adapted in live action, it's nevertheless proof that it remains something at least some fans would like to see.

Q: Is it possible to turn a statement into a expression? In C, you can assign two variables in one line with
b = a = sqrt(10);

In Delphi
b := a := Sqrt(10);

is not allowed.
With IfThen, there is an "alternative" for the ternary operator ?: as discussed in Delphi - Equivalent to C#'s ternary operator? In summary, IfThen doesn't seem absolutely necessary.
So maybe there is also something like this:
function AssignAndReturn(var LHS: Integer; RHS: Integer): Integer;
begin
  LHS := RHS;
  Result := RHS;
end;

(...)

var
  a, b: Integer;
begin
  b := AssignAndReturn(a, Round(Sqrt(10)));

I'm not trying to "make everything look like C". I just noticed, that sometimes it would be nice to "reuse" the right hand side of an assignment in the same line again. (See Lazarus/Free Pascal: How to improve coding style (to avoid using endless loop) of a while loop whose boolean expression is reassigned every pass for example.)

A: An assignment statement is not an expression. It does not, and will never, yield a value. The only way to assign to multiple variables in one statement is via a function.

Based on this question and your previous question I would say that you are mistaken in trying to fight against the language. Code into the language you are using. In C you might write
b = a = sqrt(10);

But in Pascal the language wants you to write it like this
a := sqrt(10);
b := a;

Do it this way. Don't create obscure functions just so that you can cram it all onto a single line. The two lines above could not be clearer to read. Stop trying to force other languages into Pascal. They don't fit.

A: The short answer is:
No. What you want is not possible. And arguably would be of little if any benefit in Delphi.

First, let's discuss a more practical example. To be frank, a = b = f(x); is a rather poor example.

*

*It's rare that you arbitrarily want the same value assigned to 2 variables.

*Order of operation above has to break the left to right convention otherwise it would first resolve a = b then ? = f(x).

*So there's little justification to favour that over b = f(x); a = b;.

*Basically it's good for byte count (code golf) not readability.

So instead, let's consider the following, more practical scenario:
//Option 1
if ((b = f(x)) > 42)
  //use b

There's no Delphi equivalent to the above, but it's at least as readable/maintainable to write:
//Option 2
b := f(x);
if (b > 42) then
  //use b

There is another option to consider; especially if Option 1 is sitting in the middle of a larger function. Remember small functions are more maintainable and easier for a compiler to optimise. So consider:
//Option 3
...
ProcessRule42(f(x));
...
//Where Rule42 is is implemented as:
procedure ProcessRule42(b: Integer);
begin
  if (b > 42) then
    //use b
end;

Delphi doesn't really seem to be suffering due to not being able to write:  if (b := f(x)) > 42 then //use b.
Is there any real benefit to Option 1?
If the Option 2 is at least as good, why would one ever bother with Option 1. The benefit is seen when you consider scoping rules.
//b does not exist
if ((var b = f(x)) > 42) {
  //use b
}
//b does not exist

// Using the Delphi approach, this becomes:
//b does not exist
var b = f(x);
if (b > 42) {
  //use b
}
//b still exists

Delphi simply does not have the same scoping concerns. Delphi variables are all declared at the beginning of the method, and available for the whole method.

Conclusion
This brings us back to what others have been trying to explain. Delphi is a different language with slightly different approaches to some problems.

Infection and antibiotic use following major surgery gives clinicians, patients and health care providers an overview of the following by district health board (DHB):
infections after major surgery in a public hospital
postoperative sepsis rates
community use of antibiotics in the 30 days after surgery in a public hospital.
This domain was created to explore areas of wide variation between DHBs and identify possible areas for local quality improvement.
Healthcare associated infections (HAIs) are some of the most common adverse events in health care worldwide. Up to 10 percent of patients admitted to hospitals in the developed world acquire one or more infections.[1] HAIs include central line-associated bloodstream infections, catheter-associated urinary tract infections, surgical site infections and ventilator-associated pneumonia.
Adherence to best infection prevention and control measures, such as choice of skin antisepsis agent, surgical antimicrobial prophylaxis and appropriate hair removal, are crucial to minimise the risk of surgical site infections.[2]
Surgical antimicrobial prophylaxis should be administered for the shortest effective period to minimise adverse effects, the development of antimicrobial resistance and costs. In most situations, a single dose given 0–60 minutes before the surgical incision is all that is required. For some procedures, additional doses given for a maximum of 24 hours postoperatively may occur.
It is not best practice for antibiotics to be administered routinely postoperatively – the UK National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) recommends antibiotics are used only in cases where infection is suspected.[3]
The data suggest that, on average, 32 percent of people had antibiotics within 30 days of major surgery. This compares with an inpatient recorded rate of infection of 2.3 percent and postoperative sepsis of 1.1 percent.
For people undergoing surgery, ask how to care for your wound after surgery, what signs of infection to look for, and when to seek help. If taking antibiotics ensure you know when and how to long to take them for. For more information click here.
Many HAIs can be prevented by adherence to best practice with well-established processes that minimise infection risk. However, not all HAIs are preventable or relate to the quality of care.
Other known risk factors for HAIs among hospital patients include prolonged hospital stay, prolonged and/or inappropriate use of antibiotics, immunosuppression and other severe underlying conditions.
This domain aligns with the work of the Accident Compensation Corporation and the Health Quality & Safety Commission's infection prevention and control programme, which has a range of initiatives to reduce HAIs. These include improving hand hygiene, improvement related to peripheral lines, preventing central line-associated bacteraemia and reducing surgical site infections. All DHBs are involved in these initiatives.
Note: This domain reports the number of infection events, not the number of people, thus one person may be counted multiple times. For all indicators (apart from indicator 8), patients were assigned to the DHB that provided treatment (DHB of service), not the DHB where they live. The risk of infection varies depending on the type of surgery and complexity of the surgical procedure. This means that DHBs with hospitals providing tertiary and quaternary services might be expected to have higher rates of infection, reflecting the higher complexity of surgical procedures performed. As an example, cardiac surgery is only performed in five DHBs.
Rate of infection following major surgery in a public hospital by DHB of service
Infection is the most common complication of surgery; this indicator looks at infection rates directly linked to the surgery.
In 2017, there was an average of 231 infections per 10,000 surgical discharges. This has decreased from 276 in 2011.
Infection rates appear highest in the 45–64 age band. Rates have decreased in every age band from 2011 to 2017 except for the 25–44 band.
There was no significant difference in infection rate between women and men.
Māori had significantly higher rates than non-Māori, especially for women and 45–64-year-olds.
There was limited DHB variation.
The total number of infections for men has reduced from around 700 in 2011 to around 600 in 2017 but the number for women has remained the same at around 700.
Recorded rates of infection did not differ significantly according to whether the surgery was an acute (unplanned) or elective (planned) procedure. However, rates of infection following acute surgery tended to increase with age whereas they tended to decrease with age for elective surgery. This may be explained by the small numbers of infections following major acute surgery for people aged 18–24.
Postoperative sepsis rates by DHB of service
Postoperative sepsis is a serious complication of surgery and includes infections such as pneumonia or urinary tract infection that are not specific to the wound incision but do relate to the hospital stay.
On average, there were 109.9 cases for every 10,000 major surgeries. This is a decrease from 119.8 in 2011.
There was limited regional variation, although one DHB had consistently higher rates than the national average. Is this likely to reflect variable coding or genuinely higher infection rates?
Women had significantly lower rates than men and rates tended to increase with age.
There was no significant overall ethnicity difference in rates. However, Māori had significantly higher rates than non-Māori for women and 45–64-year-olds.
Rate of antibiotic dispensing within 30 days of major surgery in a public hospital by DHB of service
On average, 32 percent of people were dispensed an antibiotic within 30 days of discharge after major surgery in a public hospital. This compares with an average of 2.3 percent of people being recorded as having an infection after major surgery in hospital.
As might be expected, antibiotic dispensing rates were significantly higher on discharge for people who underwent acute versus elective surgery – 37 percent compared to 28 percent. Since 2011, dispensing following elective surgery has decreased 6 percent, but still varies 2.8-fold between DHBs from 11.6 to 32 percent.
There was a 2.2-fold variation between DHBs in the rate of antibiotic dispensing, from 18 percent to 39 percent of patients in the 30 days post-discharge.
Rates of dispensing were significantly higher for men and for Māori. Rates of dispensing decreased with age.
This pattern repeats for rates of dispensing following acute surgery but not for elective surgery. There were no significant demographic differences in rates for elective surgery.
Almost half of the dispensing occurred on the same or next day of discharge after surgery. This raises questions such as how many scripts were for prolonged surgical antimicrobial prophylaxis or for treatment of superficial wound infections arising after surgery? How many scripts were generated in a follow-up appointment and what proportion was unrelated to the surgery but occurred because of hospitalisation?
People dispensed an antibiotic in the community in a month (2013)
This indicator compares the rate of antibiotic use in the general community with those who may have an infection after health care treatment. Data were taken for a year with the monthly average presented. People were counted only once in a month in this measure, however one person may be counted in more than one month over a year.
On average, 5.5 percent of people were dispensed antibiotics each month. This ranged from 4.5 percent to 6.8 percent of people. In 2011, 6.1 percent of people were dispensed antibiotics each month.
Māori and non-Māori had similar rates in the age bands used in this Atlas. Antibiotic use was higher for Māori aged 45–64 than non-Māori but was lower for Māori aged 18–24.
Those aged 65 and over received the most antibiotics.
Māori women received significantly more antibiotics than non-Māori women but Māori men received significantly fewer than non-Māori men.
When people dispensed antibiotics were counted only once in a year, 40.2 percent of people in 2017 aged 18+ had antibiotics dispensed one or more times.
What questions might these data prompt?
Which types of surgery are most likely to result in an infection?
Why is the rate of antibiotic dispensing after surgery high?
Why are antibiotics being dispensed – is it for infection or prolonged prophylaxis?
Data sources, method and limitations
Data for this Atlas domain were drawn from the Ministry of Health's national hospital inpatient data (National Minimum Dataset, or NMDS) and Pharmaceutical Collection.
Infections after major surgery are a broader group than infections captured in the Commission's Surgical Site Infection Improvement Programme, which applies the National Healthcare Safety Network definition (CDC 2015[2]). This requires active surveillance for infection and is a more robust method for identifying infections than using those reported in the NMDS. Identifying infections that occur in hospital relies on accurate reporting of these events and it is possible that some variation in rates may be the result of differences in recording. Infections that occur in the community post-discharge are not included unless they were severe enough to result in readmission.
The impact of length of stay is partially mitigated by only including surgeries that required a length of stay of at least two days, 'major surgery'. This excluded minor or short stay surgeries such as elective hernia or carpel tunnel operations. In addition, people with a primary diagnosis of infection or sepsis were excluded; see the method (406KB, PDF) for a complete list of exclusions.
Infections included were: intra-abdominal infection, post-procedural infection, sepsis, stitch abscess, subphrenic abscess and wound abscess. The Pharmaceutical Collection contains claim and payment information from community pharmacists for subsidised dispensing. This collection does not allow for analysis of the patients' condition or the effectiveness of dose provided, so it was not possible to assess the appropriateness or otherwise of prescribing; nor does it indicate if people took the dispensed medicine.

Rentaghost - Do You Remember?
In January 1976 Fred Mumford (Anthony Jackson) opened the doors to his Rentaghost agency in a bid to find work for ghosts. Yes, you heard it right - for ghosts. Mumford's reasons for this had plenty to do with his own life; or rather lack of it, as he was himself recently deceased. An unfulfilling time on earth implanted in him the altruistic wish to provide employment for spectres with similarly bad experiences when they were alive. This premise gave the series its original title of Second Chance, which probably wouldn't have grabbed the imagination of the children it was aimed at, so thankfully the more fun Rentaghost was decided on before it aired.
Mumford managed to get only two ghosts on his books to begin with; a medieval mischief maker called Timothy Claypole (Michael Staniforth) and Hubert Davenport (Michael Darbyshire), a gentleman from the Victorian era. Claypole was a jester in his previous life, and his entire time within Rentaghost was spent living up to this, with jokes and tricks being his raison d' être. He spoke in a comedy medieval language ('Gadzooks!'), wore a variety of brightly coloured outfits with matching tri-corn hats and had no clue about modern life or any of its technology. Mr Davenport was a dignified soul who found life in this strange new world difficult, coming up as he did against an uncomfortable lack of morals compared to his past existence.
In further series Mumford expanded Rentaghost by hiring some new life (well, death). Hazel McWitch (Molly Weir) was perhaps the most sensible (if sensible is really a word you can use in any description of this programme) sorcerer associated with Rentaghost, and the only one who seemed to have any interest in the agency ever actually being successful.
After four series the Rentaghost agency got new owners; Darbyshire passed away in 1979, and Jackson decided not to take part in any further storylines. Block wrote their parts out by finding them employment at a stately home (in a haunting role obviously), and the agency's landlords Harold and Ethel Meaker (Edward Brayshaw and Ann Emery) became the new owners of Rentaghost. What prompted them to take this on is anybody's guess; they'd discovered the spooky events going on in their building early on in the first series, so were presumably well aware what chaos the staff were capable of creating.
More characters arrived; these included Dobbin, a tatty, whinnying pantomime horse brought to life by Claypole in the first instance for the special Christmas episode (RentaSanta). When the sprite was incapable of reversing the spell afterwards Dobbin remained with the agency; causing confusion, dressing up in ridiculous costumes and generally getting in the way. Nadia Popov (better known as Sue Nicholls, who also played Reggie's love interest Joan in The Fall and Rise of Reginald Perrin and went on to greater fame as Audrey Roberts in Coronation Street) arrived from the Netherlands with hay fever and a disconcerting habit of disappearing when she sneezed, unwittingly ending up in all sorts of 'hilarious' situations. Point of interest: Miss Popov was introduced to Rentaghost through her cousin Tamara Novak, who was played by crime writer Lynda La Plante.
Christopher Biggins popped up occasionally as Adam Painting, a local businessman who often tried to get the ghosts to help out with his latest venture, and Carry On legend Kenneth Connor played the very forgettable spook Whatsisname Smith from 1983-84. All added their own brand of disruption to what was already a fair degree of pandemonium.
Long-suffering neighbours Arthur and Rose Meaker stayed just this side of sane; with no idea that spectres were working on the other side of their wall they struggled to comprehend some of the bizarre goings on. Getting caught up in wayward spells was a hazard of living next door to the incompetent agency; they often displayed some very erratic behaviour which left them traumatised and heading swiftly home to their chintz-covered living room.
The original series looks pretty dated now, but for the last few years the idea of a film adaptation has been thrown around, with Ben Stiller in talks for the role of Mumford. Perhaps they could use Michael Staniforth's original theme tune?
I watched Series One recently and found it absolutely hilarious. Yes, it's dated but it has a certain charm and I love it. They would never make a kids' programme like this today. For one thing no kids ever appear in it. I also loved Dobbin the pantomime horse that appeared in the later series. In one particular scene the Meakers took it for a ride in their car and its head was sticking out of the sun roof! Mental but brilliant!!
Ah! Now I know that McWitch was Molly Weir, not Mollie Sugden. I am almost relieved!!
As Mad as it gets!
Was I the only person who hated this and couldn't wait to switch over at the first line of the tune.

If you're owed an income tax refund, the sooner you file your taxes, the sooner you'll receive your refund. Every day that passes while you wait to file your return is one more day that you don't get your money back. Typically, the IRS expects to make direct deposit refunds available within 21 days if you e-file your return, but if you mail your return, you might have to wait several more weeks for your refund.
As we inch closer to the tax-filing deadline, stress levels increase! When you subject yourself to time constraints, you become susceptible to many mistakes: using incorrect tax tables, failing to provide all the requested information clearly, or worse – flubbing your routing and account numbers for direct deposit. You don't want to cut corners in order to meet the tax-filing deadline. If you need assistance, trusting in the knowledge of a Tax Pro can literally pay off!
Everyone is potentially a victim. Even those who haven't been directly affected by a data breach could be victims of tax identity theft. In recent tax seasons, a growing concern has been the possibility of identity thieves using your personal information to file a tax return in your name. Sending your return in early cuts down on the likelihood that someone else might be able to steal your identity and file on your behalf. Filing early can greatly help to avoid identity theft tax refund fraud.
You'll have more time to arrange payment before the deadline if you owe taxes. Think about it: If you file in January, you'll have until the deadline to pay in full. This allows you to plan for the expense over a few months, so it doesn't completely throw your budget off track.
Filing a tax extension with the IRS allows you to push your tax forms deadline back to October and avoid IRS late-filing penalties, as long as you file for the extension by April 17. But here's the catch: While an extension gives you extra time to file your return, an extension does not give you extra time to pay your taxes. Just remember that if you're filing the extension because you're a procrastinator, it won't be any easier to file in October than it is in April.
Most people fall into two categories when it comes to filing taxes – those who are super-organized and file their tax returns as soon as possible, and those who barely manage to scrape their paperwork together by the April deadline. It's important not to file before you have all your relevant information, but the goal is not to fall into the latter category of people; don't drag your feet when it comes to filing your taxes, especially if you're due a refund. Once you have the necessary documents, it's smart to move the process along as quickly as possible. Your money is waiting for you!

Amphichaetodon melbae ist eine Art aus der Familie der Falterfische.

Merkmale
Amphichaetodon melbae erreicht eine maximale Länge von 14,5 Zentimetern.

Der Fisch hat einen weißen, hochrückigen und seitlich abgeflachten Körper. Dieser wird von fünf vertikalen, schwarzen Bändern überzogen. Seine Afterflossen sowie die Rücken- und die Schwanzflosse sind leicht gelblich gefärbt. Amphichaetodon melbae unterscheidet sich vom sehr ähnlichen Lord-Howe-Falterfisch (Amphichaetodon howensis) durch seine schmaleren schwarzen Bänder.

Verbreitung
Amphichaetodon melbae kommt im südöstlichen Pazifik um die Oster-Insel, die Desventuradas-Inseln und die Juan-Fernández-Inseln vor.

Vorkommen und Verhalten
Amphichaetodon melbae scheint vorwiegend in felsigen Riffen vorzukommen. Juvenile Tiere sind Einzelgänger, während ausgewachsene Fische auch paarweise anzutreffen sind; zumindest während der Fortpflanzungszeit.

Benennung
Das Artepitheton ehrt wahrscheinlich die Meeresbiologin Melba Caldwell von der University of Florida in Gainesville.

Relaxing grey summer clouds is hanging over The Cabin, It's time for yet another day by the grinding wheel. I have a bunch of knives and other edge tools in need of sharpening. So I turn on The Kiruna Grinder and let the slow rotating stone set the pace of the day. I want to take the opportunity to share my thoughts on edge tool sharpening and then show a movie of me by the grinding wheel.
What profile to pick depends on tasks at hand an taste. Personally I often prefer a Scandi grind knife (single edged, V shaped) as I often use my knives for whittling. Double edged profiles (Compound edges) like the Flat grind or the Hollow grind works nice as game knives when hunting. These Compound edges are also the most common edge profiles found looking internationally. The Convex edge is more and more being used also on knives (not just on axes). One example of this are the Fällkniven knives. The above four symmetric edge profiles are the most common recognized, but there are many different ways to shape an edge. The most important feature of an edge tool is the hand holding it an the mind behind it.
When I sharpening an edge tool I use four different steps; 1-Shaping the edge, 2-Grinding the edge 3-Honing the edge and 4-Polish the edge. Which steps used depends on the condition of the edge and what I'm planing to do with the tool.
If the edge are hurt by nicks or waves I use a single cut steel file to regain the edge symmetry. The hand file is a pleasant way of getting to know ones edge tool and at the same time avoiding damaging the heat treatment of the edge using a high speed electrical grinder.
When having a large amount of edge tools to sharpen I often use my slow rotating electrical grinding wheel. Otherwise I also like using bench stones. I categorize the stones into four groups; Natural sand stones, Artificial sand stones, Diamond stones and Ceramic stones. Some need oil or water and some don't. But usually I prefer using water to get the right feel and response while sharpening and at the same time getting rid of the metal leaving the edge. When grinding I like to use the 800 grit diamond side of the Fällkniven DC521. Usually I'm sharpening by free hands (no guide) feeling confident on the tools edge bevel angle. But If I what to check the angle I use a measuring tool.
Very roughly speaking; and angle of 20° is suitable for wood carving and a angle of 40° works good on a hunting knife. There are a lot of different sharpening tools and systems out there, Spydercos Triangle Sharpmaker is one example. My advice to you is to try them and decide which tools and methods works best for you.
In the next step I use the 14 000 grit ceramic side of the DC521 stone. Honing is pretty much the same technique as grinding just using a finer surfaced stone. Now and then I check the edge spine by looking straight at it. If light reflect from the edge ridge then I need to continue in that area.
Always nice to have a fresh edge ready to take on new tasks. This day got to be a really nice one. When I finally turn of my grinding wheel it all gets quiet and I lift my hat of to my old buddy; the grindng wheel.

It is essential for you to have a solid marketing plan behind you, no matter what the nature of your business is. For your business to succeed, you need to advertise your products and services effectively. It is important for you to understand what makes a particular advertisement effective or good so that you can tailor your own marketing plans and achieve better results. Most business owners have the idea that there is a one size fits all solution for advertising. This is not the case. Bad advertisements are created when businesses do not take the time to put themselves in their customers' shoes and discover what questions the customers are asking, or what they are interested in.
The knowledge you possess about your business is not always what your customers have. What is incredibly common in advertising is to skip over the exact questions the customers are asking and answer the ones they would never have asked. Bad advertisements try to recreate what others in the industry have done, but they do so without any personal touch or unique company message. Many businesses make the mistake of creating generic ads. Such ads get lost in the thousands of ads people are bombarded with every day. While good advertisements produce results, bad advertisements are just a waste of money. Bad advertisements are characterized by communication barriers and lack of creative strategies.
So what is it that makes good advertisements? Is it what they say? Or is it the creative element in them? What is it that causes you to feel something inside yourself after you have been exposed to good advertisements?
Good advertisements are written and designed to emotionally connect with their target audience. Once the audience is connected to them, the rhetorics of good advertisements strongly persuade the consumers to want the product or service. Only when the individuals are likely to recognize a need for it and make the purchase.
There is little room for mediocrity when you are competing for ad space. Unless your ad is disruptive or highly targeted, it ends up falling short. You need to do certain things correctly so that the quality and response to your ads improve.
Making the ad memorable – When a viewer remembers an ad after viewing it, then only it is an effective advertisement. Good advertisements contain stories that move viewers. Not only do they contain basic information or calls to action, but they also tap into viewers' senses.
Effective targeting – Know exactly who your target audience is. The product or service you offer will not appeal to everyone. Identify the segment of the population most likely to need what you have to offer. When you identify your target audience, you can also decide what advertising venues are likely to be the most effective for your ads.
Entertaining the audience – Good advertisements need to entertain a potential buyer apart from informing him about the product or service you have to offer. The more entertaining your ad will be, the more attention it will capture and the more effective it will be.
Creating a design that is attention grabbing – If your ad is good, people should see it. An effective ad engages the interests of viewers with an attractive design. Choose the most eye-catching design to get the attention of the potential customer. When viewing an advertisement, visuals are one of the first things people look at.
Coming up with an effective tagline – A tagline is the first thing in an ad that a viewer pays attention to. Your tagline should be attention-grabbing and should encompass your overall message in a short sentence. Effective taglines are thought-provoking and leave their reader wanting more.
Writing a good copy – A well-written copy is that aspect of your ad that compels viewers to take action. Your ad copy should be concise, creative and easy to read. Avoid using jargon or excessive information in your ad copy because they fail to contribute directly to the overall message of your advertisement.
Having a strong call to action – A strong call to action in your ad will bring you the results you are expecting. Your call to action should be well thought out and clearly defined. Ensure that your contact information is clearly visible and not hidden behind clutter. It is important that your visitors are informed or that they have a positive branding experience with your company, but the ultimate aim of your ad is to convert leads into sales.
To make your ad from "good" to "great", follow the simple rule of "less is more". The timeframe you have to make an impression on your audience is limited to seconds, in case of any advertisement. This limited time does not mean your ad should be full to the brim with information. The idea is to develop a coherent ad that appeals well to its audience.

A well-crafted presentation can inform, educate, entertain and inspire. Properly delivered, a presentation can introduce a subject or initiative in a way that the entire audience will hear and understand. Dr. Gustavo's presentations are highly customized to suit your specific industry, group and culture. They range in length from one to two hours and are designed to offer a broad foundation of valuable information.
Gustavo not only did a terrific job, he tailored his presentation and the material to specifically fit our organization. His approach was energetic and compelling, creating opportunity for a broad scope of our leadership team to engage in valuable, immediate conversation about strategic changes and approaches that we could make to successfully address our increasingly generation-diverse workforce. Gustavo's understanding of the generational complexities created steps that we promptly began to take, and this has impacted our current workforce in a positive way, while also setting us up for increasing success in attracting, retaining and developing the next generation of workers.
Dr. Gustavo's presentation on culture was powerful, insightful, and extremely valuable! The time invested was extremely worthwhile and something that I would highly recommend to anyone that is responsible for driving and sustaining a positive culture within their organization. I've just purchased his book and will certainly be recommending it to members of my leadership team.
I was able to hire two new Millennial's because of the take away from Gustavo's last presentation. Talk about timely. He was exactly right on all counts. Money is important but more important is PTO, mentoring, and overall comfort with the culture of the business. We had to adjust compensation and benefits, but in the end, the changes will cost us the same or less than previous.
Patrick Bischel President, Northern Crossarm Co.
I want to thank you again for a great presentation yesterday. At first when I saw the title of the presentation I thought it would be just another "they aren't that bad" talk about Gen Y. In the first 10 minutes I was hooked and into the whole thing from beginning to end. Thank you for a great presentation!
Wayne McNeely CEO, Byron's Plumbing Ltd.
Gustavo delivered his Culture Trumps Everything presentation to our leadership team. His message was spot on! It will definitely help me drive our culture through our organization.
Gustavo, your presentation and breakouts were tremendous! I knew it as you were presenting your topic, and your knowledge and delivery hit the whole thing out of the ball park. We have been using the same polling questions, since 2004 and I am pleased to let you know that you had the highest rating ever!! In fact your rating with members was 4.96 out of 5 and we had 126 people complete the evaluation. Thank you for your exceptional work!
Brian Slack CEO , Pro-Link, Inc.
Gustavo's presentation was great! The feedback from his talk at the conference was excellent. So much so, that we are working on bringing him back for a return engagement at next year's event.
Gustavo's captivating presentation style engaged a wide range of H.G. Fenton participants. Our attendees remarked that his presentation was interesting, informative and entertaining. He cleverly engages the audience by weaving his extensive knowledge and experience with humor to engage his audience. I recommend him without reservation.
Gustavo, you knocked it out of the park this past week with your presentations to all of our groups! I was telling a friend of mine that you really have it down - content, relevance, style, action orientation - the whole package. I've had nothing but rave reviews! I know all of our members had strong takeaways. And all of us as chair truly enjoyed our dinner with you as well.
Gustavo is truly exceptional at helping a senior team grow – both individually and as a group. The trust-building exercises Gustavo did with our team were exceptional. Anyone who doesn't feel a difference after those exercises needs to check their pulse. Gustavo is also a great speaker who delivers terrific presentations on a variety of critical topics. In addition he works wonders with small groups and team building. I've spent more than 15 years in the Air Force and more than 15 years in the corporate world…and I've seen many, many speakers, trainers and facilitators. Gustavo tops them all!
Our leadership team raved about Gustavo's presentation and the principles they learned to apply in our company to better position us for success. The presentation was excellent! Gustavo's knowledge of multi generations in the workplace and how to recruit and retain Gen Y'ers was so timely as the world around us is rapidly changing. Gustavo is very engaging and I recommend every leader and manager hear this presentation.
Gustavo's provided an outstanding presentation with a focus on organizational culture! He gave us a clear understanding on how culture influences behavior and performance. Our group found the presentation to be enlightening, informative, and entertaining. I would recommend his presentation to everyone!
Thank you for the presentation to our firm yesterday. Many people said it was the best firm meeting we have had and that had much to do with your presentation! You may not know this but you touched on a lot of people yesterday. It really helped me personally to know we are going in the right direction and gave me an approach that I am now comfortable with. Thank you.
Gustavo's workshop was outstanding! After attending Dr. Gustavo's workshop on culture, we assembled a cross section of employees from our company to dig into our culture and discuss topics like how our organization changes human experience in the world. This led to some interesting thoughts that brought our teams together to a common motivational goal. Our organizational culture was already strong, but with some of these new techniques learned, I believe we can positively impact our culture of the organization even further. Sometimes you go down a path just because it feels right, this seminar opened my eyes to a science behind my companies success. It starts with culture!
Gustavo, thank you for a great day all around. You distinguished yourself and your presentation on culture in that you didn't just give information, you provided tools and a whole new way of perception that sticks. Not only was it a one time experience but because of that experience, you have us thinking differently. In the follow up with my members it is obvious that your impact is far reaching. In my book, a speaker who can deeply change thinking, that in turn changes individual behavior creates a win for everyone in the room, including me! Thank you for an outstanding presentation that continues to stay with us.
Gustavo - thanks again for the inspirational presentation and information last week. It was enjoyed and appreciated by everyone in the room. You offered us great value and great information. Thanks again!
Gustavo spoke to our international group of leaders, where for many, English is a second language. He provided excellent information with great sensitivity and awareness to the variety of language abilities of every person in the room. We enjoyed the presentation so much that we are bringing him back to speak to another group of leaders next year! Gustavo offers strong content and presentation skills. I would recommend him without hesitation.

Beim Dhat-Syndrom – nach dem altindischen Sanskrit-Begriff "Dhatu" für "Elixier des Lebens" – handelt es sich um die angstbesetzte Vorstellung, mit dem Samen seine Lebensenergie zu verlieren – während umgekehrt ein Zurückhalten der Ejakulation zu einem langen Leben in Gesundheit führe.

Dabei besteht oft eine Angst vor Pollutionen oder einem Samenverlust über den Urin, so dass dieser oft auf Trübungen untersucht wird, die einen Hinweis auf den befürchteten Samenverlust geben sollen.

Dieses Phänomen wird als kulturell bedingte Sexualneurose des indischen Subkontinents interpretiert. Im Kontext tantrischer Praktiken könnte das Dhat-Syndrom auf den ersten Blick in einem anderen Licht erscheinen. Das Schlüsselwort ist jedoch Angst – und damit handelt es sich in erster Linie um den zum Scheitern verurteilten Versuch, sich sein Leben auf Dauer zu erhalten. Angst entsteht immer wieder neu, weil auch der Patient dies weiß, aber dieses Wissen immer wieder "verleugnet".

Der Begriff wurde 1960 von Narendra Wig  geprägt.

'Youth will rescue Zimbabwe' - no, only strong minds will; age, war hero irrelevant and failed
It was the great Greek philosopher Socrates, 2 500 years ago, who said "STRONG MINDS DISCUSS IDEAS, AVERAGE MINDS DISCUSS EVENTS AND WEAK MINDS DISCUSS PEOPLE."
Socrates lived during the golden age of Greece when democracy, science, art and civilization was at its glorious best and Socrates, Plato and other great minds were right at the thick of it. Socrates and his fellow thinkers were never contend with what they saw and heard, they had inquisitive minds always asking questions. Why? When?
"An unexamined life is not worth living!" said Socrates.
To discuss ideas that will help solve problems and change the world one necessarily needs a certain amount of intelligence to accrue knowledge, to sift and refine it through reflection and real-life experience. It is this strong mind, with the refined knowledge, tested and proven facts and religious regard for the truth, that will solve problems and change the world.
It is easier to talk about people because here everything goes, there are no rules and knowledge counts for nothing. Truth, facts, opinion, lies and damned lies are all legal tender to be traded in equal measure, accepted today and rejected tomorrow. No one listens to what they are saying let alone what the others are saying. No one remembers anything, it is impossible to remember something one heard with their ears only; there is no intellect to record anything verbatim let alone process the information and store it as knowledge.
Discussing ideas required train, discipline and effort and for the intellectual couch potato discussing people is the default setting because it requires the least effort. The strong-minded people get their buzz, Eureka moment, from see their ideas work. The feeble-minded people are not so demanding, they will cheer and applaud anything! Anything at all!
"In Africa, there is a problem of failing to understand the generational transition. Our old generation is failing to understand the times. They looked after us when we were children but now it is our turn to take charge," Nelson Chamisa, the President of Zimbabwe's main opposition party, the MDC Alliance.
"(Former President Robert) Mugabe, Mnangagwa you have done your part in serving this country during the liberation struggle but now pass the button to today's generation. Then we will show you how a country is run," to deafening applause.
Chamisa's default setting is to discuss people and his feeble-minded audience were thrilled to bits to hear him wittering about nothing. QED!
With Mugabe and Mnangagwa it was one's war-time history, political loyalty, gender, tribe, region, etc. that matters the most and intellectual merit matters not at all. It is therefore not surprising that the country has gone to the dogs during their 39 years of corrupt and tyrannical rule.
Zimbabwe is in a real economic mess with unemployment a dizzying 90%, most basic services likes health care have all but collapse and ¾ of the population now live on US$30 or less per month.
Before independence the country was rightly proud to be called the breadbasket of Southern Africa. We produced enough food to feed the nation with surplus to feed our neighbours and still be world leader in producing quality tobacco, cut flowers and other produce. All that is history, today the nation is relying on imported food aid.
We live in the day and age when human ingenuity has turned deserts into blooming orchards. And we are starving in the land that, for all practical purposes, is the Garden of Eden! A damning testimonial to the sheer incompetence and feeble-mindedness of Mugabe and his Zanu PF thugs.
Whilst Mugabe and Mnangagwa elevated those with liberation war record to the status of demigods with rights and privileges galore whilst those with no such records have been denied their freedoms, human rights even the right to live! Chamisa has become obsessed about age; anyone older than him are useless as he/she has gone past their use-by date.
"Young people of Africa this is your time. This is not just a Zimbabwean phenomenon. This is the case in South Africa, Rwanda, Uganda and in Kenya. Young people must stand to rescue our continent," said Chamisa.
Uhuru Muigai Kenyatta, the President of the ruling party in Kenya, is 51 years old whilst Raila Odinga, president of the opposition Orange Democratic Movement, Chamisa's natural allay, is 74 years old. So, if it is youth alone that matters Kenya certainly does not need rescuing!
Emmerson Mnangagwa and many other Zanu PF thugs in power today were a lot younger that Nelson Chamisa's present age of 41 years in 1980 when Zimbabwe gained her independence but their youth did not stop them ruthlessly imposing the de facto one-party state the nation has suffered under these last 39 years.
The youthful MDC leaders failed the nation as their checked political track records shows. Ten years ago, Chamisa and his fellow MDC leaders failed to implement even one democratic reform in five years of the GNU. Not one!
South Africa has had the misfortune of having corrupt and incompetent leaders but there is no doubt that the country has always held free, fair and credible elections. To suggest that the country needs rescuing is to fail to appreciate the virtue of a healthy and functioning democracy.
Yes Zimbabwe, Rwanda, Uganda and Kenya certainly need rescuing from the curse of rigged elections. These countries need to replace the feeble-minded opposition leaders with the strong-minded ones who will implement the democratic reforms and finally deliver free, fair and credible elections!
Strong-mindedness and likewise feeble-mindedness are a measure of one's intellectual aptitude and that has nothing to do with incidental and/or biological attributes such as age, sex, tribe, etc. Zimbabwe is in a mess because the country has had the misfortune to have feeble-minded leaders on both sides of the political divide.
Chamisa has no sound ideas to get Zimbabwe out of the mess and he therefore presenting his youth as if it is a proven virtue, as if he, for his part, will never grow old. Only a feeble-mind would dwell on such frivolity especially now when the nation's future is on a knife edge!
