Opinion: Failure in Weak ACC Coastal Has London On Hot Seat
If we're seeing the end of the Mike London era, it will go down as an era of missed opportunity.

Amber Searls-USA TODAY Sports
While watching Virginia Tech and Maryland lose last Saturday, it occurred to me that Virginia has missed a huge opportunity the last few years. With traditional rivals down and the ACC Coastal stuck in mediocrity, whe Wahoos have enjoyed a favorable competitive landscape since Mike London took charge in 2009. But London hasn't been able to capitalize. His failure to strike while the iron was hot might ultimately seal his fate.
Virginia's primary recruiting rivals have faced serious adversity in the last 5 years. Virginia Tech has fallen off considerably. The Hokies are 2-8 in their last 10 home games against FBS teams, and many Tech fans want Frank Beamer to retire. Maryland, a primary recruiting foe in the DC metro area, had a horrendous start under Randy Edsall. North Carolina has been hamstrung by the potential of NCAA punishment. And Penn State, a regular opponent in northeast recruiting, suffered near fatal NCAA sanctions following the Sandusky scandal. With all this turmoil, the likable London had an opportunity to dominate Mid-Atlantic recruiting. Unfortunately, Virginia's lack of on-field success prevented it from building any real recruiting momentum. That's on London.
During London's tenure, the ACC Coastal has been the weakest division in Power 5 football. Since 2010, only one Coastal team has finished a season in the top-15: Georgia Tech finished #8 in the AP poll in 2014. Only three other Coastal teams have finished ranked at all: Duke finished 23rd in 2013, and Virginia Tech finished 21st in 2011 and 16th in 2010. And no point during London's tenure has the Coastal had two teams finish in the top-25 at the same time.
I've often likened the Coastal to a bottle of salad dressing. It doesn't take much for the standings to get shaken up and for the bottom teams to rise to the top. But it takes more than London has been able to deliver thus far. The embattled Virginia coach is 7-20 against ACC Coastal opponents in his UVA career. In an era of divisional mediocrity, London's Cavaliers have been worse than mediocre.
London's predecessors faced much tougher circumstances. Hall of Fame coach and champion hat tosser George Welsh came to UVA in 1982 when Clemson was a serious national power. Georgia Tech won a share of a national title in 1990. And Welsh had to tussle yearly with a Florida State program in its 1990s heyday. Al Groh arrived at Virginia when Virginia Tech was at the height of its powers and Miami was still relatively strong. By comparison, London has had it easy.
London will get at least one last chance to take on the ACC before the curtain falls on his tenure in Charlottesville. And the Coastal appears to be mired in mediocrity once more. But I doubt many observers expect Virginia to rise in the standings, not when the Cavaliers got rolled on national television against Boise State. Virginia travels to Pitt Saturday to face a Panther team that could be the class of the division. But make no mistake, the 2015 Pitt squad ain't exactly the '93 Seminoles. London has to start winning some of these games and making hay in a mediocre division. The clock is ticking...and he's running out of time.

Feeling dizzy? Especially when moving your head in certain positions? You may be suffering from vertigo. What is vertigo? What causes this issue? What are the common symptoms? What can you do right now to help alleviate vertigo symptoms? What can a physio/osteo do to help? How long until vertigo gets better? All your vertigo related questions answered below!
Not in the mood for reading? Check out this short video with Dr. Abbey Davidson (Osteopath) that explains vertigo and how to treat it!
Vertigo is a condition where a person experiences false sensations of spinning or swaying. Sufferers will commonly complain of 'dizziness' and can it can be debilitating in severe cases.
Vertigo is most commonly an inner ear problem. The inner ear contains the cochlear (hearing) and the semi-circular canals (balance). Vertigo impacts fluid inside the semicircular canals which play a huge role in balance. This fluid movement is what makes you feel like you are still spinning after getting off a 'spinning ride'. With vertigo calcium crystals form within the fluid and dislodge causing the unpleasant symptoms.
Vertigo is caused by issues within the inner ear or the brain. The most common cause of vertigo is Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) with symptoms occurring in episodes of 1-2 minutes in duration. The dizzy sensation you get when standing at major height is often referred to as vertigo. The true name for this extreme fear of heights with accompanying dizziness is called acrophobia.
If this is your first ever time experiencing vertigo we suggest being assessed by a health professional as soon as possible. This can rule out the more sinister causes of your symptoms.
Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo or BPPV is also known as true vertigo. BPPV is the most common cause of vertigo symptoms. BPPV is where benign calcium crystals form in the fluid in the semicircular canals of the inner ear. Certain motions can move these crystals providing a stimulus to the brain that the body is moving when it is not. This is why vertigo caused by BPPV can be aggravated by certain head positions.Bouts of vertigo with BPPV generally only last 1-2 minutes. This is most common with those over 50 years of age.
If you are concerned you are suffering from vertigo it is best to get assessed by a health professional (medical doctor, osteopath or physiotherapist).
What you can do right now for Vertigo?
Vertigo can cause huge disruption to daily activities. When suffering from an episode of vertigo is important to sit down, avoid aggravating head motions, avoid driving and perform the Epley Manouver.
It is important to sit down when experiencing period of dizziness. This will reduce your chances of falling and possible injury that comes with losing balance. This can also give opportunity to dislodged crystals to settle.
Avoid factors that aggravate your vertigo symptoms. This may be the way you roll over in bed, moving your head into certain positions or . Identify these factors and avoid them where possible. It is also important to avoid driving when suffering a vertigo attack. Head checks can aggravate symptoms and make the road unsafe for you and other road users.
Epley Maneuver aims to reposition dislodged troublesome calcium crystals within the inner ear. Proper performance of this maneuver can provide great relief for vertigo sufferers. For a demonstration on how to perform this technique on yourself or with the assistance of another person check out the video at the top of page.
Your physiotherapist or osteopath will spend time taking a medical history. This will try and determine the cause of your symptoms and whether you are truly suffering from vertigo. If necessary, your physiotherapist or osteopath may refer you to an appropriate medical practitioner for further testing. Further testing can include formal hearing and balance tests and brain MRI.
If you are suffering from the most common form of vertigo (caused by BPPV) your physiotherapist or osteopath can assist in your recovery. They will use hands of techniques to maneuver the troublesome crystals in your inner ear. They will also treat the head, neck and surrounding regions to ensure there is no restrictions which hinder recovery or place extra pressure around your ear.
Your physiotherapist or Osteopath can be helpful in situations of recurrent vertigo caused by migraines. Your therapist can help you with hands on techniques, lifestyle advice and prescription of appropriate exercises/stretches.
How long until Vertigo gets better?
Vertigo from BPPV is very treatable and responds well to manual therapy. Sufferers can expect to see resolution within 3 weeks to 6 months. However, with BPPV reoccurrence is common and treatment for future episodes may be required. In rare cases of unrelenting BPPV that does not response repositioning maneuvers, surgery may be required.

British pensions are in crisis. Yet in all the discussion of what exactly the crisis consists of, and how it might be addressed, attention to the history of how the crisis has come about is surprisingly lacking. History has much to tell us about how pensions have developed in Britain, how that development has shaped the crisis that we now face, and how decisions taken in the past constrain our options for the future. In this book, leading experts on the past and present of pensions in Britain debate the present crisis, and the lessons of history for those seeking to craft solutions to it that are both effective and enduring.

Because of lower fertility and the various advances in terms of medicine, the number of people over 60 will have raisen from 500 million in 1990 to about 1.4 billion in 2030. If seen on a global scale, the issue of population ageing may give rise to various economic problems. As compared to when life expectancy was still relatively low, a large portion of the population will have claims to a share of a particular output in spite of not being about to provide labour sufficient enough to maintain their incomes. One of the major issues in both advanced and Third World countries will then involve how to organize this type of system while retaining economic growth and efficiency. In taking the political and financial risks into account, the resulting option as well as its consequences for pension fund development will significantly affect the financial system's structure.Less

Recent financial market and plan termination experiences have exposed the shortcomings of existing funding, disclosure, and premium rules governing private single-employer defined benefit pension plans in the United States. These rules were designed to provide predictability for plan sponsors and administrators by insulating pension plans from the realities of economic and financial market fluctuations. Unfortunately, current practice often overlooks key financial principles that arguably should inform a responsible set of pension rules and the insurance system backing the plans. This chapter outlines the key characteristics of pension plans needed to beneficially guide rule-making and offers examples drawn from proposed funding and premium rules.Less

It is sometimes argued that firms sponsoring defined benefit pensions are led to take higher risks because pension insurance premiums and funding requirements do not reflect the riskiness of the pension plan portfolio or sponsor bankruptcy risk. This perspective is tested by linking company data on expected default probabilities with newly-available information on pension plan assets. It is shown that moral hazard induced by the current pension insurance environment has influenced corporate pension plan sponsor funding outcomes, even controlling for cash availability. There is no evidence that the share of plan assets invested in equities is related to firm bankruptcy risk or the plan's contingent claims on the pension insurance entity.Less

Examines the supposed threat to the future trajectory of social spending posed by population ageing. An initial focus is on the contrast between the sense of crisis characterizing popular and governmental accounts with the more measured analysis of demographers and economists. Later sections examine a variety of welfare state programmes for the old and show that expenditure trajectories are only marginallyinfluenced by demographic considerations, but that what really influences expenditure outcomes is the differential generosity of pension provision in different families of nations. Differential generosity is also shown to be a further factor influencing aggregate patterns of social expenditure.Less

The chapter discusses three periods of policy change in the field of pension policy. It explains basic parameters of public pension systems and the scope of private provision, comparing contemporary systems with those which existed in the late 1970s. Using a number of indicators, it assess the scale and profile of change in each country. The different reform profiles are identified and their genesis discussed in the context of major legislative changes. It argues that the impact of policy legacies have played a major role in shaping policy profiles. The notion of 'path dependence' is a more instructive concept in pension than in unemployment or family policy, rendering radical policy change less likely in Germany than in the UK. However, changes in contextual conditions, not least due to German unification, have contributed to programmatic re-orientations and power relations within major political parties.Less

The European Commission has claimed that 'Solidarity is part of how European society works...' . But how are we to understand solidarity and what are its implications to government policy? This book addresses the question of what solidarity might mean today and its relevance to the purposes of the European Union and the way it functions. Is solidarity just a slogan or can it have meaningful legal and policy content? Contributions from leading scholars in law, politics, and sociology are brought together in this book to discuss an idea that is coming under fresh scrutiny at a time when the EU's direction following the implementation of the Lisbon Treaty is hotly debated. The book engages with both the content and limitations of solidarity as a concept in political and legal debate, and its application to specific fields such as migration, education, and pension policies. The book provides a provocative analysis of the power and potential of solidarity, applying a sceptical and rigorous assessment of the conditions necessary for it to make a difference to the European political and legal space at a time when traditional manifestations of national solidarity (e.g., in health care) are perceived to be under threat from EU market liberalization policies. A number of chapters consider whether an EU concept of solidarity is possible and how that might affect the balance between market and social priorities for the Union's future.Less

Deindustrialization, mass unemployment, and privatization have increased structural push, with early exit spreading widely across sectors. Two varieties of capitalism can be observed: early exit is used by firms to adapt to regulated labor markets in Continental coordinated market economies, it is more cyclical and infrequent in Anglophone flexible labor markets, while Japan and Sweden are exceptional cases that integrate older workers.Less

Governments have realized the negative impact of early retirement on social expenditures and labor costs, responding with a paradigm shift away from passive labor market policies. Governments seek to reverse early exit by raising the retirement age in pension systems, reforming disability insurance, closing special early retirement programs, activating older workers, and fostering gradual transitions to retirement. These reforms met many obstacles given the entrenched multiple pathways and status quo defense of the social partners, particularly as benefits came to be viewed as acquired rights.Less

Over the past two decades many countries have adopted multipillar pension systems that include both a public DB and a private DC pillar. Critics of these pension reforms argue that the tight link between payroll contributions and benefits in the DC pillar produce lower pensions for women. In contrast, supporters of these reforms argue that multipillar systems remove distortions that favour men and permit a more targeted public pillar that help women. This chapter examines the differential impact on genders of the new and old systems in Chile, Argentina, and Mexico. In all three cases, the new social security system includes two mandatory components: privately managed funded individual accounts (DC) and a publicly managed and financed safety net. Women accumulate retirement funds and private annuities from the DC pillar of the multipillar systems that are only 30-40% of those of men. This effect can be mitigated by introducing two critical elements into the new systems: (a) targeting the new public pillars toward low earners, because the majority of low earners are women, and (b) restricting payout provisions such as joint annuity requirements. With these modifications, total lifetime retirement benefits for women would reach 60-80% of those for men. For 'full-career' married women, they would equal or exceed benefits of men.Less

This chapter models the UK's recently-established Pension Protection Fund (PPF) established to guarantee defined benefit pensions.

There is a significant chance that these claims will be so large that the PPF will default on its liabilities, leaving the government with no option but to bail it out.

This book posits that retirement security is the central policy concern of our time. A generation of 'Baby Boomers' is on the verge of retirement, yet pension systems confront crushing challenges, and governments often appear confused about which direction they should move in. The book addresses the question: 'What are the new risks and rewards in pensions, and what paths can stakeholders chose to solve these problems?' In doing so, it explores three aspects of the evolution of risk and reward-sharing in retirement in order to offer guidance to pension fiduciaries, plan participants, and policymakers. First, it focuses on new perspectives for assessing retirement risks and rewards. Second, it evaluates efforts to insure retirement plans. Lastly, it provides several new strategies for managing retirement system risk.Less

A topic of long-standing discussion in Japan has been how to equitably merge the retirement plans for civil servants and private employees, which in the past have been managed separately. Recent legislation sought to unify social security pension schemes for all employees by extending the coverage of the Japanese Employees' Pension Insurance Scheme, which covers private employees, to include civil servants as well. The author describes how Japanese social security pension schemes have evolved, the forces driving the merger of these plans, and what future prospects may be.Less

Pension systems are a central component of the compensation package for workers in virtually every developed nation, and nowhere are they more important than for public sector employees. The growth of public pensions has spurred a hot debate of late, since some private sector employees envy their public sector counterparts the relatively generous benefits negotiated by strong unions that traditionally represent civil servants. Also some politicians had argued that pension and health-care benefits paid to police and firefighters, schoolteachers, and other civil servants have become too expensive for the public purse, especially when benefits have been cut in the private sector And the costs of maintaining public sector pension plans have come under the microscope of late, as municipalities, states, and other governmental units facing difficult financial times and volatile capital markets realize they must cut corners. This volume takes up these and other themes pertinent to the future of public employee retirement systems around the world.Less

In 1983, the Young Lawyer's Section of the Dauphin County Bar Association opted to develop a community project. These volunteers formed a steering committee to research the formation of a Victim/Witness Assistance Program by determining the needs and gaps that existed within the community.
In 1984, Martha Emerich, herself a victim of a DUI, was recruited as the coordinator of the project until the hiring of an Executive Director. Seed money was acquired through several local foundations and donors to provide for start up costs. During this year, the incorporated agency officially opened its doors with only a phone line and a filing cabinet at the Dauphin County Bar Association.
Later in 1984, VWAP received 501c (3) tax-exempt status and began serving crime victims. In 1985, VWAP received a grant from the PA Commission on Crime and Delinquency through Act 96 - the Bill of Rights for Crime Victims. In April of the same year, the first paid position was created - a part-time Executive Director - and the program relocated to the Dauphin County Courthouse.
During the next few years, VWAP operated with a small paid staff, assisted by volunteers and interns from local colleges. Gradually, VWAP added additional part-time positions that developed into full-time staff. As Pennsylvania allotted more victim service funding, VWAP expanded staff and services based upon victim's needs. Today, VWAP serves over 8,000 victims and witnesses annually and employs 14 full time dedicated and caring staff.

What a beautiful organ facade! This lovely organ could be easily moved to your church. Originally built for St. Paul's Methodist Church in Mauch Chuck, PA (now Jim Thorpe, PA), it was removed to storage in 1978 before a planned sale to the Yale University Institute of Sacred Music. After the cancellation of that plan, the organ was purchased by Thomas-Pierce in 1994 and restored by Thom Thomas.
It was relocated to a church in St. Petersburg in 1998 where Mr. Thomas played the dedicatory recital.

Category: Military Aircraft Tag: Fighter-Bomber; Hawker; BAE
Developed in the 1950s the Hunter is a subsonic British jet aircraft built by Hawker (BAE). The single-seat Hunter entered service as a fighter aircraft in 1954, and later operated in fighter-bomber and reconnaissance roles. Until the early 1990s the RAF used two-seat variants for secondary roles including training. The Hunter served with 21 other air forces and after fifty years the final Hawker Hunters were retired from active service by the Lebanese Air Force in 2014.

The McDonnell Douglas F-4 Phantom II is a supersonic fighter-bomber originally developed for the United States Navy.[1] It first entered service in 1960 and was subsequently adopted by both the U.S. Air force and The U.S. Marine Corps as well as the armed forces of 11 other nations. A total of 5,195 Phantoms were built and It set 15 world records for in-flight performance. The RAF retired their combat Phantoms in 1992, and the USA did the same in 1996. However some nations still have the Phantom in active service.
The Lightning was a Cold War Era supersonic fighter aircraft. It was designed and built by English Electric (now absorbed into BAE). The Lightning was the only all-British Mach 2 fighter aircraft and in its almost 30 year service (1960-88) with the RAF it is credited with only a single kill. In 1972 a Lightning shot down a British Harrier whose pilot had ejected due to engine failure. The Harrier was heading into East Germany so was brought down to avoid a diplomatic incident.

Genshin Impact is one of 2020's best surprises
By Steven Messner 30 December 2020
Genshin Impact defies expectations for what free-to-play games can be.
(Image credit: miHoYo)
GOTY 2020
In addition to our team-selected Game of the Year Awards 2020, individual members of the PC Gamer team each select one of their own favourite games of the year. We'll post new personal picks, alongside the main awards, throughout the rest of the month.
Genshin Impact is the best game in 2020 that no one saw coming. It was easy to write off as a mobile Breath of the Wild clone, and I remember being immediately suspicious of its too-good-to-be-true trailers because, well, how could a mobile game ever look that good? But that's what makes Genshin Impact so special: it's an astounding, expectation-smashing RPG that has raised the bar for free-to-play games—even if its 'gacha' microtransactions come with a long list of caveats. I don't think I've fallen more quickly in love with any other game this year.
Much of what makes Genshin Impact so wonderful is how deftly it understands and recreates the joy of exploration found in Zelda: Breath of the Wild. Nintendo's seminal hit still feels ahead of its time, given how many open world games like Assassin's Creed Valhalla and Cyberpunk 2077 stick to the tradition of littering their maps with icons rather than letting you discover everything organically. But in Genshin Impact, vast stretches of Teyvat are uncharted until you go there and explore them, discover what resources and monsters are found there, and mark it on your map.
What's equally as impressive to me, though, is how quickly Genshin Impact has grown.
Call me a heretic, but I actually find exploration more rewarding in Genshin Impact than in Breath of the Wild. While ruined Hyrule feels a lot more like a living world—and the mysteries tucked within it, like hidden temples and flying dragons, create a sense of wonder—the rewards I'd get from venturing off the beaten track are a little mundane. But because Genshin Impact is a more traditional RPG with a load of cues taken from MMOs and grindy mobile games, its rewards feed into a complex system that is surprisingly engrossing. Hidden chests tucked into every nook and cranny reward gear, money, and experience that feeds directly into making my party stronger. It's satisfying as hell to spend a few hours just exploring randomly.
The combat has a lot of depth too, and I've come to really love its magic system where different elemental spells can combine to create unique effects. Positioning a magic tornado so that it scoops up a group of enemies and hits a nearby campfire, turning it into a fiery vortex, never gets old, and I've spent hours theorycrafting the perfect party so I can maximize the carnage wrought by their different abilities.
What's equally as impressive to me, though, is how quickly Genshin Impact has grown. Every few weeks there's a new event and rewards to chase, new characters to gamble for, and a massive new update just dropped that adds a whole new zone to explore (with more on the way). Not all of these updates have landed without problems, but developer MiHoYo has been pretty good at listening to feedback and making adjustments—even if they aren't as radical as players hope.
It's weird to feel this optimistic about a live-service game. The biggest names in the genre, like Destiny 2 and World of Warcraft, both have communities that rapidly oscillate between joy and all-consuming hate as updates fix one thing but frequently break another. But Genshin Impact feels remarkably stable, even when controversies like characters being heavily nerfed or its too-strict stamina system temporarily spoil the fun.
I've played for well over a hundred hours since its launch in September, and I'm excited to dig into its new Dragonspine region over the holiday break. And, really, the biggest issue I have with Genshin Impact is how its grind can suck the joy out of (finally) getting a new character from its lootboxes. I wish there was more room to experiment and test out characters without having to commit hours to getting them caught up with the rest of my party.
These few barbs can leave scratches, but I really do love this lush world and many of its characters—yes, even its screeching toddler fairy. That I've sunk so much time into this game without really needing to spend money makes Genshin Impact feel uncommonly generous for a free-to-play game, and its Breath of the Wild exploration is fantastic. That's exactly why Genshin Impact is my personal pick in PC Gamer's Game of the Year Awards.
Steven Messner
Steven enjoys nothing more than a long grind, which is precisely why his specialty is on investigative feature reporting on China's PC games scene, weird stories that upset his parents, and MMOs. He's Canadian but can't ice skate. Embarrassing.


However, despite having destroyed the airbases in this region, the USAAF could still strike at the Japanese main islands from newly acquired bases in the Pacific. This prompted the Germans to invade Yugoslavia on April 6.
The landing craft bound for Utah, as with so many other units, went off course, coming ashore two kilometers off target.
For weeks, evidence had been accumulating that the Germans were preparing for a push on the Western Front. Rommel once again attacked and recaptured Benghazi.

A lack of ammunition forced the German forces to withdraw on 12 June. The German-Romanian forces successfully defended the sector throughout the month of April.
Possibly 62 million people lost their lives in World War II—about 25 million soldiers and 37 million civilians, with estimates varying widely. Hitler revealed his plans only to a select few. Many of the paratroopers were not dropped on their intended landing zones and were scattered throughout Normandy.
While the Morgenthau Plan itself was never implemented per se, its general economic philosophy did end up greatly influencing events. Even the locals could see what was coming and took down Allied flags, not wanting to make themselves into targets when the Germans returned. It was undermined by the fact the Allies had broken the Enigma encryption used for top level messages, but it reduced the evidence emerging.
The UN also was responsible for the initial creation of the modern state of Israel inin part as a response to the Holocaust. Hasso von Manteuffel led Fifth Panzer Army in the middle attack route. The battle ended in Februarywhen the Soviet forces succeeded in over-running the German positions.

Camping and Caravanning Club Blog - Carbon monoxide alarms in tents - yes or no?
Carbon monoxide alarms in tents - yes or no?
Over the last few months the Club has changed its position on the use of carbon monoxide (CO) alarms in tents. If you've followed our deliberations you may remember we were concerned the current European standard (EN 50291) didn't seem to cover the conditions found inside a tent.
My colleague Ian Hewlett and I met with Leigh Greenham from CoGDEM last year. CoGDEM is the organisation for members of the gas detection industry. It obviously has an interest in selling CO detection systems, but its members are also doing significant research into the efficacy of sensors and alarms, sadly often prompted by loss of life. Leigh was able to share with us some 'company confidential' CO alarm testing data that's not generally available.
In truth, the answer is probably "No". We haven't seen data to show that a CO alarm that's been stored in freezing, damp conditions for a couple of winters will definitely work properly in a tent after a fortnight's holiday with continuous rain. But I'm now happier that the sensors have been tested in damp conditions and seen little degradation. The reality is that such poor conditions would probably trigger a fault signal because the electrical circuit failed before the sensor stopped working.
As a result, we've changed our recommendations about using a CO alarm in a tent.
The best advice – of course – remains to avoid any chance of getting CO poisoning in the first place, by making sure there's no source of the gas inside your tent. In particular – never take a charcoal barbecue inside, unless it's completely cold.
If you would like the extra reassurance of a carbon monoxide alarm – perhaps in case there's a source of CO outside that might blow in – look for one that meets the EN50291-2 standard. This has undergone extra vibration testing (over and above the -1 standard, designed for domestic CO alarms) so it's likely to withstand journeys to and from a campsite.
It's also worth choosing an alarm with a sealed-in Li-ion battery rather than AA or AAA batteries. The Li-ion ones should keep working at a lower temperature so you're less likely to get a low-battery warning if it gets cold at night.
Also, keep your CO alarm in a warm, dry place. This probably means removing it from your camping kit over the winter and keeping it at home, not storing it in a freezing garage. And finally – always test the alarm when you start using it again.
In any case – we hope the message about the dangers of CO poisoning is getting out on the campsite so we won't need to be posting about it again during the 2014 camping season!

Governor's Office /
Governor Hutchinson's Weekly Address | Ending the COVID Vaccine Mandate for Military
Governor Hutchinson's weekly radio address can be found in MP3 format and downloaded HERE. LITTLE ROCK – A few weeks ago, I joined 20 of my fellow governors in a letter to Congressional leaders asking them to repeal the Biden administration's COVID vaccine mandate for our military, and today I'd like to provide an update on our request. In August of last year, President Biden directed United States Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin to impose a COVID vaccine mandate on the men and women of our armed forces. Since that time, the National Guard has missed its recruiting target by 10 percent, and 7,500 members have left the service. The United States Army also missed its recruiting target by 25 percent, falling short of their target by 15,000 recruits. As of November of this year, over 8,000 active members of the military have been discharged since the implementation of the mandate. It's clear that this overbearing requirement has put our nation's military readiness at risk and created a national security concern. In Arkansas, we took a different approach. I never imposed a mandate for vaccines because I trust people to make the best decision for their health and the health of their family. Instead of mandates, I chose to educate. I went to 15 cities around the state to hold town hall meetings to answer questions from Arkansans. I held these events with my public health advisors and local health care providers to ensure that specific medical questions about the vaccine could be answered. And yes, I encouraged people to understand the COVID vaccine and to take the vaccine. Throughout the course of my conversations, I was reminded of how damaging a vaccine mandate could be. Unfortunately, we've seen our concerns become a reality because of the COVID vaccine mandate in our armed forces. While the damage has been done from the President's decision, I want to applaud the members of Congress who recently passed the National Defense Authorization Act, the annual funding legislation for our military. This bill not only funds our military, it also revokes the COVID vaccine mandate. The House passed the defense authorization bill with a bipartisan vote by a margin of 350-80, and the Senate approved the bill 83-11. The vote on this bill and provision will ensure we have a military that is ready to face our adversaries whenever that time may come. I urge the President to sign the defense authorization bill and to end the particular COVID vaccine mandate. We owe the men and women of our military a great debt for their service, and they do not need to be saddled with unnecessary mandates that only harm their readiness.

A wanted Hizbul Mujahideen militant appeared with an AK-47 rifle at a largely attended funeral of his slain colleague in south Kashmir on Saturday and said linking global terror network Al Qaeda with Kashmir was to defame their movement.
"Their aim is political. Their aim is to remove Kashmir as a part of India, and not Zakir Musa's Al Qaeda-driven aim," Abdullah said at a conference.
Al-Qaeda's propaganda channel on Thursday announced on social media that Zakir Musa, former commander of Hizbul Mujahideen, will head the Kashmir operations of the terror outfit.
A recruitment drive is planned on the first death anniversary of militant commander Burhan Wani. Quite an audacious move, you might think. It will certainly be called audacious if the army, police or paramilitary forces had planned it.
For the first time in the legislative history of Jammu and Kashmir, mainstream legislators praised the role of Hizbul Mujahideen commander and United Jihad Council (UJC) chief, Syed Salahuddin, and former Hizbul commander Zakir Musa.

Kim Jong Il: A life in pictures
The North Korean leader was photographed countless times during his life, with only official photographs released to the media. Here, we take a look at the life of Kim Jong Il in pictures.
Dec 19th 2011, 9:34 AM 3,829 10
THE LATE Kim Jong Il, who died on Saturday, was photographed countless times in his life – and official photographs released by the North Korean government were how the West was able to keep up with his activities.
The photographs often centred on the leader of North Korea visiting military barracks, speaking to political leaders, or giving his advice to others.
Some of the more mundane photographs even attracted fans through the blog Kim Jong Il Looking At Things, which showed the supreme leader looking at buildings, people and vegetables.
Older photos show him with his father, Kim Il Sung, and taking his first steps into his political career.
Here, we take a look at the life of Kim Jong Il in pictures, from childhood through to the last-known photographs taken of him in August, after he had reportedly suffered a stroke.
Jong Il died at the age of 69; his song, Kim Jong Un, is his heir apparent.

http://ifapp.org/blogpost IFAPP WORLDFirst World Conference on Pharmacometrics (WCoP) to be held in Seoul, Korea, 5-7 September, 2012.
First World Conference on Pharmacometrics (WCoP) to be held in Seoul, Korea, 5-7 September, 2012.
On behalf of the organizing committee, it is my great pleasure to announce the first World Conference on Pharmacometrics (WCoP) to be held in Seoul, Korea, 5-7 September, 2012.
The WCoP, which will be held every 4 years, has been created to give a local stimulus to the hosting region and to provide opportunities of discussing the future of pharmacometrics from a strategic perspective. As you know, pharmacometrics is regarded as a core technology these days to reduce cost and time in drug development process.
This 2.5-day conference will consist of 7 oral sessions and 2 plenary lectures, followed by 2 workshop sessions in parallel with tutorial and software demo sessions. There will be opportunities of oral presentation and travel grant of up to USD 1,000 for selected abstracts. For the detail of the program, please visit the conference website below.
In addition to the main conference, to provide WCoP participants with hands-on opportunities to learn about various software tools and theories related to pharmacometrics, we also have scheduled 6 satellite courses before or after the conference. The detail of the program is found at the conference website.
We are soliciting financial contributions from exhibitors and sponsors. If you are interested in such contribution opportunities, please visit the conference website for the detail.
Considering 60% of world population living in Asia, it is meaningful that the first WCoP will be held in Asia. It is hoped that WCoP 2012 will contribute to increasing Asian countries' interest in pharmacometrics as well as discussing future directions of the pharmacometrics in the world.
Seoul, the conference venue, has been very active in hosting international PKPD symposia in recent years. As the capital city for more than 600 years since the last dynasty of Korea, it will present you a cultural experience with a mixture of old tradition and hi-technology during the stay.
