Chain of care in chest pain - Differences between three hospitals in an urban area.
AIM: To describe differences in treatment and delay times in acute chest pain at the three hospitals in Göteborg, Sweden. METHODS: All patients admitted to the three hospitals within Sahlgrenska University (SU) (Sahlgrenska: SU/S, Östra: SU/Ö and Mölndal: SU/M) with acute chest pain during 3months in 2008 were evaluated for diagnosis, early treatment and outcome. RESULTS: In all, 2588 visits by 2393 patients were included (visits n=1253 SU/S; n=853 SU/Ö; n=482 SU/M) of which 50%, 63% and 51% were hospitalised (p<0.0001). Among hospitalised patients, a diagnosis of ACS was reported in 26%, 9% and 22% respectively (p<0.0001). Among ACS patients, 83%, 66% and 57% respectively underwent coronary angiography (p=0.004). The median delay to coronary angiography in ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) was 42min at SU/S, 3h 47min at SU/Ö and 2h 34min at SU/M (p=0.008). The corresponding values for coronary angiography in unstable coronary artery disease were 42h 7min, 48h 35min and 123h 42min (p=0.007). Overall mortality at 30days was 3.6%, 3.2% and 1.5% (NS) and, at 1year, it was 9.9%, 9.6% and 7.3% respectively (NS). CONCLUSION: In acute chest pain in the Municipality of Göteborg, there was a marked difference between hospitals in: 1) the percentage of hospitalised patients, 2) the percentage of ACS among hospitalised patients and 3) the delay to and rate of coronary angiography. The clinical consequences of these deviations remain to be proven.

GRACE ACADEMY
Grace Academy provides education to more than 100 children between the ages of 3 and 12. Together we have managed to build a school that facilitates access to the most isolated families.
A self-sufficient school that, with aid from the district, follows the Ghanaian educational plan that allows students to go to Ando to study at Junior High School.
How has it been built?
In 2019, Crowdfundings, events and solidarity sales were held to raise money. The Aklobotonu community went out of their way to build and have the necessary workers and material.
How does it work today?
Nukoko has hired 5 teachers who will soon be funded by the district. Thanks to a donation we were able to buy books for the students and blackboards for the classes. Families pay a small tuition to cover the costs of materials, exams ...

Pico Dragon
Pico Dragon is the first small satellite project of VNSC (Vietnam National Satellite Center), which was established in 2011 and is a research center of VAST (Vietnam Academy of Science and Technology). The predecessor organization was STI (Space Technology Institute), Hanoi, Vietnam. STI was founded in 2006 by the government of Vietnam with the objective to create an environment for conducting space research and to develop an indigenous manufacturing capability by training a work force with partners who are experienced in satellite technology. 1) 2)
Figure 1: Timeline of the Pico Dragon development project (image credit: VNSC)
The Pico Dragon project aims to promote the development of space technology sector, especially the first preparation for training human resources for self-designing and making Vietnam's own earth-observation small satellites in the future. All steps in the process of developing the satellite, from researching, designing, making and integrating, to testing, were conducted in Vietnam. In addition, together with support from Japan, VNSC conducted tests at the laboratories of Prof. S. Nakasuka from Tokyo University and other pilots at JAXA to meet space environmental conditions before launching. With the experiment results, JAXA affirmed that the Pico Dragon met adequate conditions to lift into ISS by the HTV-4 cargo spacecraft (Ref. 10).

In the search for a purposeful life, we often think that we need to identify our purpose before embarking on a journey to fulfill it. As a result, we ended up spending too much time trying to discover our purpose, rather than preparing ourselves for it.
In this message, A.R. Bernard speaks on God's active involvement in our life when we pursue our destiny. Using true-life stories and the story of Saul chasing donkeys, he shows us that opportunities and obedience must walk hand in hand in order to lead us to our purpose. It is the journey of obedience and faithfulness that takes us to a favorable intersection where doors will be open for us.
As you listen to this message, you will discover that your life is a masterpiece of circumstances orchestrated by God, to lead you to your purpose and dreams. Never let mundane circumstances pull you down, but start believing that God is actively involved in your life!

Thai Grilled Beef Salad & Rose
By Blog Writer
From the Vancouver Sun, a fantastic recipe for two by Steven Raichlen that they recommend with our 2016 Rosé. Steven Raichlen is widely regarded as America's foremost authority on live fire cooking. The five-time James Beard award winner has a new cookbook out: Barbecue Sauces, Rubs and Marinades. As the Sun notes, the Project Smoke celebrity chef is in the Barbecue Hall of Fame, so you can trust him. This light meal employs a unique post-grilling marinade for super fresh flavour.
Wine columnist, Anthony Gismondi writes on the Vanessa Vineyard Rosé wine pairing… "A richer Tavel style gives this savoury, spicy, dark berry flavoured rosé all it needs accompany the beef and seasoning in a Thai salad."
Thai Grilled Beef Salad Recipe:

Vanessa Vineyard Opens Highly Anticipated New Tasting Room in Similkameen Valley
By vanessavineyard
350th Winery to Open in British Columbia
CAWSTON, BC – AUGUST 1, 2017: Vanessa Vineyard is thrilled to announce the opening of their new tasting room in the ruggedly beautiful Similkameen Valley. Inspired by the region's natural grandeur, Vanessa Vineyard's tasting room is elegant in its simplicity, incorporating the unique local terrain. A burgeoning appellation, the Similkameen Valley is touted as "the next great Canadian wine region."
In celebration of Vanessa Vineyard's opening, a ribbon cutting is scheduled from 11:00 am to 1:00 pm today with local dignitaries including MLA Linda Larson and MP Dan Albas; and a public grand opening party is planned for August 11th from 2:00 pm to 6:00 pm.
"Over one million tourists will visit British Columbia wineries this year with BC wine tourism generating $246 million in revenue for the economy," said Miles Prodan, President and CEO of the BC Wine Institute. "What's impressive about these numbers is that most BC wineries and grapegrowers are independent, family-owned farmers like Vanessa Vineyard," adds Prodan. "It's exciting to see these small businesses grow and expand to offer visitors a farm-to-glass experience that showcases the wines of the Similkameen Valley."
Vanessa Vineyard, comprising 75 acres of extremely rocky terrain, is situated on a hillside overlooking the Similkameen Valley. Planted in 2006 under the guidance of renowned viticulturists Robert Goltz and Richard Cleave, the quantity of rocks on the site initially made vineyard development exceedingly challenging. The rocks, however, are a key asset to the property's unique terroir, allowing day heat to be harnessed and imparted throughout the cooler nights enabling the fruit to produce flavours and minerality that are truly distinctive. In 2012 the owners Suki Sekhon and John Welson transitioned from grape growers to vintners. After ensuring the fruit was of superior quality, they began crafting small quantities of fine red wine. The new tasting room is a short 19 minute drive from Osoyoos and is located at 1090 Highway 3, Cawston, BC. Daily summer hours are 10:00 am to 6:00 pm.
"Despite our literal very rocky start a decade ago in planting the land, we're thrilled with the reception our grapes and wines received right out of the gate. From the beginning Sandhill's Vanessa Vineyard wines, followed by our own Vanessa Vineyard wines have shown remarkably well," said Suki Sekhon, co-owner Vanessa Vineyard. "This critical acclaim from competitions and critics, gave us the confidence to proceed with building a tasting room inspired by our strikingly beautiful Valley".
John Welson co-owner, Vanessa Vineyard remarks, "to produce Vanessa Vineyard wines, we start with 100% estate grown grapes that reflect the unique terroir of our vineyard and then use traditional wine making techniques and blends to produce wines of original character."

Just before serving dinner place all the steaks on the rack in the oven on a cookie sheet and leave it for 1 1/2 minutes, serve.
Grape Grower & Vintner Success
Howard Soon in barrel room
We're honoured that our grapes are so well received by the critics. With 75 acres planted, we're not able to use all the fruit for our own winery and sell some to a very select few local wineries. Their single vineyard Vanessa wines are achieving incredible acclaim. This past spring, renowned British wine critic Jamie Goode visited BC for the Vancouver International Wine Festival and had the chance to taste a range of local wines and wrote of the Sandhill Vanessa Vineyard Syrah 2013,
"Sweet and textured with ripe black cherry and berry fruits with some lovely olive and pepper notes. Some dried herbs and spice, with a savoury, mineral intensity to this wine. Warm but with some peppery notes of cool climate. Lovely stuff. 93/100"
Similarly, renowned Canadian wine author John Schreiner recently wrote,
"Sandhill now sources some premium reds from Vanessa Vineyards in the Similkameen. This 100-acre vineyard has relatively young vines but it holds the promise of high quality wines as well. Certainly, the flavour profile differs from Phantom Creek. That simply underlines the Sandhill philosophy of making single vineyard wines that display the terroir and individuality of each and every vineyard…
Sandhill Small Lots One 2016 Vanessa Vineyard (barrel sample). This wine is a co-fermented blend of Cabernet Franc, Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon. Early in its aging process, this is a promising successor to the previous succession of Phantom Creek wines. The profile seems brighter, with minty and floral aromas and with brambly flavours. 90-92."
Kudos to Howard Soon, winemaker Sandhill Wines for his repeated honours with our fruit!

Get Paid to Drink Fine Wine!
We started over a decade ago on the principle of growing and selling high-quality red wine grapes that reflect its terroir. We've achieved that goal and are now building a new tasting room in the beautiful Similikameen Valley to showcase our wines from one of the most unique vineyards in Canada, and accordingly are hiring!
We're seeking a Tasting Room Manager commencing May 1, 2017. We're looking for a passionate person with hospitality management experience. Some benefits to the position besides a good salary and fantastic new tasting room: promote "absolutely stunning" 95+ points wine, work with fun/smart people, plus as Wine Enthusiast Magazine noted — we're situated in "the next great Canadian wine region" — only 20 minutes from Osoyoos, 15 minutes from Keremeos. For the full job description please contact Sandeep Sangha.
A Stony Heart
The world's best wine growing appellations have relatively poor, inhospitable soils, which while not ideal for most types of agriculture, are perfect for growing vinifera grapes. One of the most important factors in the terroir of a vineyard is the dirt, or should we say rocks? At the heart of our vineyard, it is mostly rocky/stony soil. Due to the quantity of rocks on the site, our vineyard development was initially challenging and actually broke our industrial-sized rock crusher! Although at first viewed as burdensome, the rocks have became a key asset for the soils.
Vineyard soils have a major influence on wine character and taste, hence the French expression, goût de terroir or "taste of the earth". Grapevine roots are remarkable, they can penetrate dozens of feet into soil in their search for water and nutrients, and they continue to grow throughout the vines' lives. This means that the physical properties of the soil are important and its minerality fundamental to growing premium grapes.
Gravel soils allow for superior drainage, which is paramount to the vines and grapes. Winemakers are so convinced of this, some have gone to extremes to study the differences. Randall Grahm of Bonny Doon fame, for example conducted a wacky experiment adding rocks directly to wine to investigate their influence on flavour, which he believes added, "far more complexity and greater persistence on the palate". UK wine writer Jamie Goode explores this in depth in his book, The Science of Wine from Vine to Glass.
Although we do not literally add rocks to our wine, the abundant rocks in our soil at Vanessa beneficially act to stress the vines. They also reflect sunshine to the leaves and berries, and allow the day heat to be harnessed and imparted throughout the cooler nights, thereby aiding in the ripening process. Additionally, our gentle sloping hillside and southwest exposure are optimal for the vines as they directly benefit from the afternoon sun, which contributes to the lengthening of the growing season and the production of intensely ripe fruit. With these factors the fruit is able to capture the minerality of the soils on which it grows that are unique to the land, and allows Vanessa Vineyard to produce fruit of the highest quality, with flavours and minerality that are distinctive.
It is this delightful sensation of minerality that is so prized among many wine enthusiasts and with Valentine's approaching, we love that we have a stony heart…
A Taste of Similkameen Elegance
"It may be the best wine appellation you've driven through but have yet to visit…" Anthony Gismondi the wine writer for the Vancouver Sun, commented earlier this month on the elegant wines of the Similkameen. He along with many other prominent wine writers across the globe have recently had our pristine Valley in their sights.
A similar perspective was reflected across the pond, "The Similkameen Valley is a peaceful yet dramatic place. Running parallel to the Okanagan, it lacks the lakes, but makes up scenery wise by being hemmed in moodily by mountains. The valley has an almost alpine feel, and I reckon this is one of the most exciting viticultural areas in Canada. As yet, however, its potential is somewhat untapped…" Wow! Jamie Goode, renown British wine critic recently visited the Similkameen and wrote about it's huge potential. Noting, the uniqueness of our region which due to the lack of a lake effect tends to have a more extreme climate than the Okanagan. The results are larger diurnal temperature swings and frequent strong winds. The benefits of this are low disease pressure and preservation of acidity. He comments, "This is a huge advantage, because we have here a combination of what looks like quite a warm climate (in terms of growing degree days it's the same as Australia's Yarra Valley), with the ability to make wines that are fresh with good acidity." Jamie concludes, "There aren't a lot of vines here in the Similkameen – just 600 acres or so – but there's a lot of potentially fine vineyard land here that's not planted yet. A region to watch."
In La Belle Province, Montreal Gazette's wine critic Bill Zacharkiw had a similar take on the Valley's terroir, "Another really interesting region is the Similkameen. Just to the west of the Okanagan, it has a completely different feel to the Okanagan. The wines tend to be crisper, more European, and there is very much a "vigneron culture." You can find nearly every grape there and it seems every winery does something really well. Orofino's gamay, Little Farm's riesling, Vanessa Vineyard's syrah, Courcelette's Chasselas-based blend, Clos du Soleil's white Bordeaux-styled — the list is long. The Similkameen is beautiful and the wines are truly worth investigating."
We're excited for what the future holds for our Valley. Stay tuned for more exciting developments for Vanessa (and no doubt in the Valley as a whole) in the coming year!
Judgment of Geyserville
We were surprised and delighted to see our 2012 Syrah included in a blind tasting this spring by a small, exclusive group of wine critics in California. The judges meet annually in the quaint Sonoma wine community of Geyserville for the "Judgment of Geyserville". Each year they select a theme, then select three examples each from various regions across North America.
This year, the theme they chose for their tasting was cool-climate Syrah, and the judges found superb examples from up and down the West Coast (California, Oregon, Washington State and BC).
They noted one of the most difficult tasks of this particular judging was defining what "cool climate" means. The participants decided that in this case, cool-climate Syrahs come from regions that have somewhat cooler and longer growing seasons but are still capable of reliably ripening Syrah grapes each vintage. The goal was to find examples of Syrah that were not big, rich and overripe. Rather, they hoped to taste Syrahs that showed complexity that goes well beyond the jammy, ripe flavours often found from inexpensive Aussie Shirazes or California Syrahs — i.e. one reason Syrahs grown in France's northern Rhône Valley are so great is the cooler climate — and the complexity of aromas and flavours that follows.
The participants consisted of :
Mike Dunne – longtime wine columnist for The Sacramento Bee and one of the top wine judges in California.
Ellen Landis, master of wine, former Sommelier for the Ritz Carlton Half Moon Bay California, and one of the top professional wine judges in the United States, wine blogger at Ellen On Wine
Eric Degerman, president and CEO of Great Northwest Wine, is co-founder of Wine Press Northwest magazine and a regular judge across western North America
Andy Perdue, editor and publisher of Great Northwest Wine, is the wine columnist for The Seattle Times
Ron Washam – former Sommelier of the Year by the Southern California Restaurant Writers' Association, a regular wine judge for Bay area competitions, and writes the HoseMaster of Wine blog
We have summarized their interesting results (see the blog links above for the full articles), and we are thrilled that our inaugural 2012 Syrah was honoured with a silver (one of the 12 medalists). They describe the Vanessa Vineyard Syrah as:
"It is rare to find wines from the remote Similkameen Valley, which is west of the Okanagan Valley in British Columbia's Interior region. This is a classic cool-climate Syrah with aromas of wild mushroom risotto, dried herbs, jasmine and vanilla bean. On the palate, flavors of Marionberry and dusty black cherry are backed by juicy, fine-grained tannins. This will be fascinating to taste again in another half-decade."
We look forward to many more "judgments" in the coming months and years!
Savouring the Similkameen
We're thrilled to be part of a hidden culinary and wine gem. In honour of Canada's National Tourism Week what better time than to start planning your trip to the Similkameen? enRoute Magazine described our area as "one of the world's 5 best wine regions you've never heard of" and Vines Magazine named our Valley "one of the 6 most underrated wine regions in the world."
Recently, several publications have focused on our "obscure" region, such as SIP Northwest out of Portland which noted, "Yet the striking slopes that surround the valley almost defy belief, and the best wines achieve a degree of complexity that demands they be taken seriously."
And Vancity Buzz suggested a hike in Cathedral Provincial Park, "Before making your way back home, visit this beautiful green space south of Keremeos. You'll have the chance to take short or long hikes in areas filled with craggy peaks and stunning azure-coloured lakes."
Similarly, Naramata's talented and engaging Jennifer Cockrall-King has just published the ultimate self-guided food lovers' tour of the Okanagan and Similkameen. Discover our local edible delights in this curated overview of more than 125 artisans, with 15 recommendations for the Similkameen, in "Food Artisans of the Okanagan: Your Guide to the Best Locally Crafted Fare". One of our faves — Farmersdotter Organics in Cawston — quite possibly the most delicious homemade breads you'll ever taste.
Heralded as the fruit stand capital of Canada and the organic capital of Canada, Keremeos and Cawston respectively, are bursting with life from the spring through the fall. Come for a visit, stay in the charming nearby lakeside community of Osoyoos and enjoy the bounty of this special little slice of terroir. (Although we do not have a tasting room open yet at Vanessa Vineyard. You can still enjoy our wines here. Our Syrah and Meritage are available at Twin Lakes Golf Resort and Local Lounge + Grille.)

At least 12 killed in Afghan earthquake: district official
Tennis star Osaka lights Tokyo Olympics cauldron as Games open
Japanese tennis star Naomi Osaka lit the Olympic cauldron as the Tokyo Games opened on Friday after a year's pandemic delay and lingering coronavirus threats.
Osaka lifted the torch to the gleaming cauldron, which had unfurled at the top of a ramp representing Mount Fuji, in the highlight of a ceremony that was stripped back over virus fears.
Japan's Emperor Naruhito officially opened the Games in an eerily empty Olympic Stadium, after Covid-19 forced organisers to ban spectators at all but a handful of venues.
"I declare open the Games of Tokyo," said the monarch, wearing a white surgical mask, in Tokyo's 68,000-capacity Olympic Stadium.
Osaka was handed the torch by a group of children from the region around Fukushima which was devastated by a tsunami and a nuclear disaster in 2011.
It was an uplifting moment in a low-key ceremony that unfolded in front of fewer than 1,000 VIPs and several thousand athletes.
In another high point, nearly 2,000 synchronised drones formed a revolving globe over the stadium, to a cover version of John Lennon's "Imagine".
A reduced parade of about 5,700 athletes, far lower than the usual numbers, filed into the stadium, not all of them socially distanced but all wearing masks.
International Olympic Committee president Thomas Bach acknowledged the Games would be "very different from what all of us had imagined".
But "today is a moment of hope", he said in an address.
The 16-day Games, with 339 gold medals across 33 sports, have a surreal air after the pandemic compelled organisers to make this the first Games with virtually no spectators.
Athletes are tested daily but they are performing on the biggest stage under the constant risk that a positive test could wreck their Olympic dreams.
New era starts
Fears that the global gathering of 11,000 athletes could become a super-spreader event have made the Games deeply unpopular in Japan, where polls have shown opposition for months.
But hundreds of people gathered outside the stadium cheered and applauded as the fireworks exploded overhead.
Mako Fukuhara arrived six hours before the ceremony to grab a spot.
"Until now it didn't feel like the Olympics, but now we are by the stadium, it feels like the Olympics," she told AFP.
Japan has spent nearly $15 billion on the Games, including $2.6 billion in extra costs after they became the first to be postponed in modern Olympic history in March 2020.
Tokyo is also battling a surge in virus cases, and is under emergency measures though they fall short of a strict lockdown.
Organisers will hope public opinion turns when the full sporting programme starts on Saturday, with swimming, gymnastics, road cycling and tennis among the top attractions.
Attention will focus on a new generation of Olympic stars who are looking to shine after a decade dominated by the likes of Usain Bolt and Michael Phelps.
US swimmer Caeleb Dressel could target seven gold medals and 400 metre hurdlers Karsten Warholm of Norway and the USA's Sydney McLaughlin are among those hoping to emerge as household names.
In gymnastics, Simone Biles will attempt to crown her dazzling career by equalling Larisa Latynina's record of nine Olympic gold medals.
Surfing, skateboarding, sport climbing and karate are all making their Olympic debut, while New Zealand weightlifter Laurel Hubbard will become the Games' first transgender athlete.
The pandemic has not been the only hiccup, with scandals ranging from corruption during the bidding process to plagiarism allegations over the design of the Tokyo 2020 logo.
The controversies kept coming right up to the eve of the Games, with the opening ceremony's director sacked on Thursday for making a joke referencing the Holocaust in a video from 1998.
Insiders estimate the IOC would have been on the hook for around $1.5 billion in lost broadcasting revenues if the Games had been cancelled.

The Indonesian Revolution for independence, fought between August 1945 and December 1949, remains the most heralded moment in the country's history. Very rarely, though, does Indonesian society recognise or concede the vast divergence in experiences of the Revolution. Separated by geography, experience under the Japanese occupation, social class, ethnicity, gender and even religion, Indonesians could have wildly different – although equally legitimate – experiences of those crucial four and a half years.
The extreme breadth of experiences fighting for the Indonesian Republic is on display in two memoirs re-published in the past year. Although both authors were fully committed and deeply involved in the drive for Indonesia's independence, they give entirely different versions of the key actors in that process and the key struggles along the way.
Suhario 'Kecik' Padmodiwiryo's memoir, Revolution in the City of Heroes, was published in Indonesian in the 1990s and here translated and expanded by Australian journalist and academic Frank Palmos. It is a classically nationalist, grassroots account of the early Revolution in Surabaya. Suhario paints a picture of the Indonesian struggle from the ground up, narrating the post-by-post, almost street-by-street fighting that raged in Indonesia's second-city for the four months following the proclamation of independence in 1945. These events are crucial to national consciousness today, immortalised in the commemorations of 10 November every year as National Heroes' Day, for the contribution local fighters made to defending the city. Suhario paints the battle in all its gore, and is even surprisingly frank about some of the Indonesian excesses he witnessed. Most of the book, though, is building up to that moment: the nationalist fervor among youth, the creation of fighting units, the confiscation of Japanese weapons, the initial crushing defeat of British landing parties in October. This English translation of the memoir ends in 1945, although the original Indonesian version went on to recount Suhario's longer career in the military.
John Coast was a former British POW under the Japanese in Thailand, who became enamored with the Indonesian cause and committed himself to the country's service in 1947 while largely living outside its borders. His account of the Revolution, originally published in the 1950s and here reissued with Laura Noszlopy as editor and with an introduction by Adrian Vickers, provides a more high-flying view of the struggle. It gives an account of government meetings, and elite plans to achieve independence through fierce negotiations and international pressure when military victory fell beyond reach. Coast's book is 'high-flying' not least because he played a crucial role organising airplanes from Thailand to become blockade-runners down to Bukittinggi and Yogyakarta, the key government cities on Sumatra and Java, respectively, during the Revolution. He also circulated through several nascent Indonesian embassies or representative offices, met with foreign governments (especially the British) to promote the Indonesian cause, supported the Indonesian Ministry of Information in its propaganda, and directly observed the Round Table Conference where Indonesia negotiated the transfer of sovereignty. Incidentally, the significant amount of time he spent closely observing and sometimes involved in Thai post-war politics will make this book of casual interest for experts on that country, too.
Both accounts are very personal and risk overstating the author's role in major events. This is no surprise in the genre of memoir. They are also rather exciting, heavy on adventure and light on politics. This may be the closest that historical sources will get to page-turning, summer beach reading, and they could be easily appreciated by non-experts. On the other hand, they are also quite clearly products of the times and places in which they were written. Both range from deep skepticism about the Left, to staunch anti-Communism, reflecting Britain in the 1950s and Indonesia in the 1990s. Suhario's account also risks feeding the triumphalist, military-dominated, Java-centric narratives of the Revolution promoted during Suharto's New Order. Indeed, his repeated assertions that Surabaya was the last free city in the Republic in early November 1945, seem especially strange considering several areas in Sumatra, including the city of Kota Radja (now Banda Aceh), were never reconquered by the Dutch even by the end of the Revolution.
The approach taken to publishing these works anew also differed markedly. Noszlopy, in preparing Coast's memoir, left the text as it was, with a smattering of explanatory footnotes and four interesting but brief appendices including documents pulled from Dutch and British archives connected with Coast's work for the Indonesians. This provides greater context for Coast's story, but does not change it. Palmos, on the other hand, has actively worked to augment Suhario's original text. In fact, Suhario's memoir was already based not only upon his own recollections but also on memories solicited from friends and brothers-in-arms in the 1960s and 1970s. These were all folded into the original memoir to fill out events he did not witness directly. Palmos has, according to his introduction, gone a step further, incorporating further recollections from Suhario as shared in interviews or by email. He also included contributions from another leading Indonesian source, Ruslan Abdulgani, who was active in Surabaya politics at the same time. This was clearly intended to provide a fuller picture for those reading out of pure interest, but for historians it creates a tricky situation where one cannot know exactly where particular anecdotes and opinions originate.
Read together, these memoirs speak to the breadth of the Revolution – something far too often forgotten. They both, though, repeatedly emphasise the strong will of the Indonesian people to end foreign oppression and take control of their own country. When searching for the 'real' revolutionary experience, one should be willing to look for any and all who shared and joined the struggle.

Thank you for the review of Revolution in the City of Heroes (title, Student Soldiers, in Indonesia).
A reminder: this was a diary, not an academic treatise. If you are looking for an academic, footnoted account of this era, and you read Indonesian, please read my Surabaya 1945: Sakral Tanahu, launched by the governor of East Java, Dr H Soekarwo, on 10 November in Surabaya.

The Education policy in this country has perhaps been brought more sharply into focus in the last decade than at any other time in history. Creating a progressive and supportive learning environment which offers every school student the opportunity to explore and develop their potential is a constant challenge.

To help children become happy and responsible citizens of the world community, Sunbeam Schools provide much more than mere syllabi and examination oriented education. We address the myriad learning requirements of the child.
The Sunbeam Precept, the formalization of our own experiences and adaptations from the progresses made in the outside world is based on the programmes and pedagogy of National Curriculum framework. Sunbeam aims to develop in its students the values, skills and knowledge that will help them become active and responsible citizens in an increasingly interconnected world.

Continued professional development is a requirement for all staff members.
In the KG section and Primary school the children's natural curiosity and enthusiasm from the basis for an enquiry based approach to learning.
Using our own well researched KG Programme, teachers create a stimulating and varied learning environment that allows each student to progress according to his or her potential.
Children are encouraged to share their diverse social and cultural experiences and to develop the ability to think analytically, see connections among ideas, and be imaginative and creative actors in their own learning.
A variety of assessment methods, including student self reflection, allows continuous evaluation of the leaning process and regular feedback to both the children and the parents.
In addition to language (reading, writing, oral communication), mathematics, science and technology, social studies, visual arts, music, drama, social and physical education, children and exposed to French as a foreign language.
The use of computers and technology is an integral part of classroom work.
The Middle School curriculum (classes VI to VIII) provides for a thorough study of the various disciplines, whilst maintaining the holistic approach of the Sunbeam Learner Profile.
It encourages students to realize that solutions to many questions often require insights drawn from various areas of knowledge, along with social and interpersonal skills that facilitate cooperation and teamwork.
It fosters personal responsibility, sensitivity towards the environment we live in, and openness and tolerance towards deferent cultural traditions.
The continuous and comprehensive assessment of the students' progress against a set of criteria linked to the objectives of each course informs the teaching and learning process during the year, and students have the opportunity to demonstrate their achievements on final exams.
French of Sanskrit is offered as an additional language.
Within the general framework of the CBSE programme and its holistic educational approach, classes IX and X go through the comprehensive and Continuous Evolution programs.
Building on the foundations laid in the previous years, they aim to develop the knowledge, the study, research and critical thinking skills essential for a successful participation in classes XI to XII to appear for the CBSE board and preparation for medical and engineering.
Children are offered a variety of subject combinations and optional to chart for themselves their preferred future course and professional Journey.

Gay Conservatism: Born In The USA
My Sunday column reflected on the ironies of British and American conservatism on the gay question:
Since I left the UK a quarter of a century ago as a supporter of Margaret Thatcher and Ronald Reagan, the gulf between American and British conservatism on this question has never been this wide. There is something of an irony in this. Gay conservatism first found its footing in the US in the late 1980s and early 1990s with the publication of Bruce Bawer's A Place at the Table and my own Virtually Normal.
The gay left denounced us as "homocons", but the gay and lesbian group Log Cabin Republicans named after Abraham Lincoln's log cabin thrived. The push to integrate gays into the military deemed by the largely leftist gay movement of the 1970s to be a violation of the "rainbow coalition" against the military and war dominated US politics in 1993, long before it came to pass in Britain.
My own New Republic cover story, "A conservative case for gay marriage", which argued along David Cameron lines that commitment and family should be valued among gays as well as straights, was published in America in 1989.
In 1996, there were two openly gay Republicans in Congress, three years before Michael Portillo's statement about youthful "homosexual experiences". One of those congressmen, Jim Kolbe, was re-elected to his seat 10 times and addressed the Republican convention in 2000.
The founder of modern American conservatism, Barry Goldwater, who ran for president in 1964, was a passionate supporter of gay rights in the early 1990s. When Bill Clinton botched the question of gays in the military in 1993, Goldwater quipped: "Everyone knows that gays have served honourably in the military since at least the time of Julius Caesar." He added: "You don't have to be straight to be in the military; you just have to be able to shoot straight."

En El Silmarillion, Curufin es el quinto de los hijos de Fëanor, nacido en Valinor durante los años de buenaventuranza de los árboles.

Normalmente se habla de Curufin en pareja con su hermano Celegorm, crueles entre los hijos de Fëanor.

Curufin significa realmente Curufinwë en el idioma quenya, que es el verdadero nombre de su padre Fëanor, significa «habilidoso Finwë». Su nombre materno era Atarinkë, que significaba «pequeño padre», porque de todos los hijos de Fëanor era el más parecido a este, tanto en su apariencia como en su carácter

Curufin es conocido por ser el padre de Celebrimbor, uno de los creadores (quizá el principal) de los Anillos de Poder.

Se juramentó junto con su padre y sus otros hermanos seguir a Melkor a la Tierra Media para destruirlo y recuperar los Silmarils.

En Beleriand estableció su reino en la zona de Himring, Himlad («planicie fría»), junto a su hermano Celegorm. juntos fortificaron el Paso de Aglon, y las tierras de Himlad al sur, entre el Río Aros que nacía en Dorthonion y su afluente el Celon, que venía de Himring.

En la Dagor-nuin-Giliath, la tropa de Celegorm y Curufin atacó y diezmó las tropas orcas de Melkor en el Marjal de Serech.

Retuvo a Eöl cuando este fue en busca de Maeglin y Aredhel, puesto que sabía que el Elfo Oscuro asesinaría a su mujer y a su hijo.

Fue derrotado en la Dagor Bragollach, y debió huir a Nargothrond junto con su hermano Celegorm.

A la llegada de Beren se confabuló en contra de Finrod por el apoyo que este daba a Beren, dado su Juramento de Protección a Barahir y a sus descendientes. Poco tiempo después, junto a Celegorm detienen a Lúthien, con el fin de obligar a Thingol a casarla con Celegorm y de esa manera tener más poder; porque no tenían la intención de recuperar los Silmarils ni permitir que nadie más lo hiciese, mientras no dominaran todos los reinos élficos.

Cuando los elfos liberados de la Isla de los Licántropos, por Lúthien y Huan, retornaron a Nargothrond comenzaron a hablar de la valentía y el amor del rey muerto por Sauron, los demás habitantes de la fortaleza se dieron cuenta de que lo que guiaba a Curufin era la traición, fueron aborrecidos y Orodreth recuperó el poder y la confianza; sin embargo no los mandó a matar ya que no quería que corriera más sangre entre hermanos, por ello marchó al exilió junto a su hermano Celegorm a los dominios de sus otros hermanos y nadie quiso acompañarlo, ni siquiera Celebrimbor, su propio hijo.

En el camino a la fortaleza de Himring, en donde esperaba encontrarse con Maedhros, halló a Beren y a Lúthien que se dirigían a Doriath e intento raptarla de nuevo. Beren, viendo esta maniobra saltó al caballo de Curufin y se trabó en lucha con él; lo venció y no lo mató porque Lúthien se lo impidió. Y Curufin montó sobre el caballo de Celegorm, puesto que Beren le quitó el suyo; y antes de marcharse le arrojó dos flechas a Tinúviel: una fue atrapada en el aire por Huan y la otra impactó sobre Beren porque este se cruzó delante de Ella, hiriéndolo en el pecho. Luego huyó desesperadamente, siendo perseguido por Huan.

Dado el odio a Thingol y el hecho de que este poseyera un Silmaril, Curufin juró abiertamente dar muerte a Thingol. Abandonó su vida errante cuando, luego de la muerte del rey de Doriath el Silmaril pasó a manos de su nieto Dior Eluchíl; y enterado de esto Celegorm reunió a sus hermanos y fueron a Menegroth dispuestos a recuperarlo; en la segunda batalla entre Elfos murió Curufin.Noldor

Keeping my ends moisturised. This is the driest part of our hair that is more prone to breakage.
Drink 3 litres of water everyday.
Weekly deep conditioning to ensure my hair shaft gets the proper amount of moisture that it needs. I have also been doing protein treatments to strengthen my hair.
To grow back my hairline, I have been massaging Aloe Vera gel and oiling my scalp using a mix of Castor oil and rosemary oil. Watch my video to see my current length and to find out more about my update.
What are your healthy hair growth habits?Any questions for Sheila? Comment below to share your views.
Hey Sheila, I'm always a fun of your post. I tried a tapered cut earlier this year but my hair grew fast that the cut shaped disappeared, i had to refresh the cut meaning I shed of some length. How do you manage to keep the shape intact with reshaping everytime?

Growth comes from the efforts of all – not from trickle-down economics
Chancellor Kwasi Kwarteng leaves 11 Downing Street to deliver his mini-Budget (PA Images/Alamy)
Pat McFadden MP
@patmcfaddenmp
4 min read 13 October 2022
Credibility, like reputation, is built slowly over years but can be destroyed very quickly. That is what has happened to the Conservative government in the wake of its disastrous "mini-Budget" on 23 September.
The chaos that ensued in the valuation of the currency, pension and mortgage markets was not because of a specific threshold of government borrowing that cannot be crossed or even because of any single measure that was announced.
It was instead because of a reckless approach which told the markets that ideology had trumped economics. And the statement from the Chancellor a day or two later that this was just the beginning and there would be more of the same compounded the damage and convinced the markets their early scepticism was right.
The package announced by the Chancellor was irresponsible in the extreme
With inflation high and the government already having to fund a necessary intervention to protect people from rocketing energy prices, care had to be taken on whatever came next. But the package announced by the Chancellor was anything but careful. It was irresponsible in the extreme.
Like two right-wing pamphleteers who finally got the chance to test their pet theories, the Prime Minister and Chancellor put together a package of unfunded tax cuts based on the premise it was justifiable to borrow from my constituents in Wolverhampton South East to fund a tax cut for people earning over £150,000 a year. It was not only politically tin-eared but a homage to a belief in trickle-down economics that has been tried, tested and failed.
The consequences are severe. Borrowing costs will be billions of pounds higher than they would have been, and millions will see the cost of their mortgage payments increase sharply over the next couple of years – sometimes by hundreds of pounds a month. Why should people who have worked hard to own their own home pay the price for the Conservatives' economic incompetence?
Even more damage will be added if the government makes people pay for the mistakes ministers have made with cuts in the public services needed most by the very people being asked to fund the borrowing that has to pay for the whole approach.
The Prime Minister and Chancellor have destroyed any claim the Conservatives have to be the party of sound stewardship of the public finances. The Chancellor admitted the failure of successive Conservative-led governments when he decried the "vicious cycle of stagnation" that has characterised the past 12 years – then made things a lot worse.
Growth is the right question because better economic growth will make the country more prosperous and its citizens better off. But growth will not come from the pursuit of the idea cherished by right-wing think tanks that all we have to do is make those who are already wealthy even better off.
In a modern 21st century, economic growth will come from the efforts of all. From the brilliant start-ups powered by British creativity and innovation. From supporting our world-leading science-based industries. From our great universities. From developing our service economy. From making the most of the transition to a cleaner and greener economy in energy generation, transport, and construction. From investing in the most powerful weapon of all – the skills and talents of our own population. And crucially, from respecting the institutions that have bolstered our economic credibility over the years.
The unforced harm inflicted by the Conservatives on themselves in recent weeks will mean voters are considering Labour in a way that perhaps they have not for some years. They will see a changed Labour Party that will repair the damage done to our economy and match support for wealth creation with the high-quality modern public services that underpin good society – and that is the blend of policy the country needs right now.

Why Some 'RHONJ' Fans Think Teresa Giudice's Husband Joe Deserves to Be Deported
Megan Elliott
Teresa Giudice and her daughters are begging Donald Trump to stop Joe Giudice's deportation. But some Real Housewives of New Jersey fans aren't too sympathetic to the family's plight. Critics are saying that rules are rules, and that because Joe committed a crime, he deserves to be kicked out of the U.S., just like other immigrants who have committed felonies.
Teresa and her kids are asking the president to stop Joe's deportation
we will never stop fighting for you daddy. It's not the same without you. I miss you terribly. I wouldn't be the person I am today with out you, I wouldn't know how to stay strong. I need you home daddy. All I want is to be a family again. I love you endlessy buddy#freejoegiudice @realdonaldtrump
A post shared by milania_giudice (@milania_giudice356) on Apr 19, 2019 at 2:56pm PDT
The 46-year-old Giudice spent more than three years in federal prison after being convicted of mail, wire, and bankruptcy fraud. He was released from prison in March, but was immediately transferred to ICE custody. That's because Giudice is not a U.S. citizen. He is a legal permanent resident who has lived in the country since his parents brought him to New Jersey from their native Italy when he was a small child.
"I was a year old when I came here," he has explained in the past, according to People. "My parents are citizens. My brother and sister are citizens — they were born here. I just never thought to file for citizenship." That decision not to apply for citizenship has now come back to haunt Giudice.
In April, Giudice's deportation appeal was denied. His lawyer has filed a stay in an attempt to allow him to stay in the U.S. In the meantime, Teresa and her daughters are reaching out to Donald Trump on social media, begging the president to intervene on Giudice's behalf. His daughter Gia has also started a petition asking the president to stop her dad's deportation.
Not everyone is sympathetic

Gia's petition to Trump has garnered more than 55,000 signatures. Those who signed left comments supportive like "His kids need him. He did his time" and "Everyone deserves a second chance."
But when her mom Teresa shared it on Instagram, some commenters said they weren't inclined to sign. A few pointed out that Joe is a non-citizen who has been convicted of a felony, which — like it or not — gives the government the right to deport him. They noted that he had ample opportunity to apply for citizenship and should have realized the risk of deportation when he committed his crimes.
"Joe has had 30 years since becoming an adult to get his citizenship and did not. He committed two felonies knowing the consequences. Now like a responsible adult he must get the consequences of his actions," wrote one commenter on Instagram.
"Law is the law no different for Joe. Sad that he never took the time to study for citizenship," another added.
A number of people drew attention to the fact that Teresa Giudice is a Trump supporter. Trump has taken a tough stance on immigration. In addition to stepping up removals of unauthorized immigrants, an increasing number of legal immigrants are being deported after committing crimes, including those who have served in the U.S. military.
"I love that you supported trump and his terrible policies but now you don't like his policies because it effects your family!" one person commented.
"[Y]ou got what you voted for. So embrace it. You knew Joe wasn't a citizen," added another.
One follower said that the Giudices shouldn't expect their celebrity to insulate them from the consequences of their actions: "Hahahaha NO he broke the law! Bye bye Joe! Just because you're famous doesn't make you or your family above the law!"

Брайан Хомер Уомак () (12 мая 1931 — 12 марта 1952) — солдат армии США, участник Корейской войны. Был награждён посмертно медалью Почёта за свои действия 12 марта 1952. В его честь был назван медицинский центр армии в Форт-Брэгге, штат Северная Каролина.

Биография
Родился и вырос в Милл-Спрингс, округ Полк, штат Северная Каролина. Сын Джорджа и Джули Уомак. У него были три брата и сестра. Он вырос, работая батраком на ферме, а летом собирал персики. Увлекался охотой, рыбалкой и катанием на велосипеде.
.

В 1950 Уомак вступил в ряды армии США и был отправлен в Корею, будучи рядовым первого класса роты медиков 14-го пехотного полка 25-й пехотной дивизии. В ходе перестрелки 12 марта 1952 близ Соксо-ри его часть понесла тяжёлые потери. Уомак вышел под вражеский огонь, чтобы помочь раненым солдатам. Будучи раненым, он отказался от медицинской помощи, и продолжать оказывать помощь другим. Он был последним солдатом, отступившим с поля боя, и вскоре после сражения умер от ран. На следующий год 12 января 1953 он был награждён медалью Почёта.

Ко времени смерти ему было 20 лет. Он был похоронен на кладбище Ливанской методистской церкви в своём родном городе Мил-спрингс.

Наградная запись к медали Почёта
Ранг и часть: рядовой первого класса армии США роты медиков 14-го пехотного полка 25-й пехотной дивизии
 Место и дата: близ Соксо-ри, Корея, 12 марта 1952
 Поступил на службу из: Мил-спрингс, Северная Каролина. Место рождения: Мил-спрингс, Северная Каролина
 G.O. No.: 5, 12 января 1953

Запись

Рядовой Уомак отличился благодаря видной доблести и отваге, выполняя долг в бою с врагом. Рядовой Уомак был единственным медиком в составе ночного боевого патруля, который при неожиданном соприкосновении с превосходящим по численности противником понёс большие потери. Рядовой Уомак немедленно приступил к оказанию помощи несмотря на то что находился под разрушительным градом неприятельского огня в ходе чего получил серьёзное ранение. Отказавшись от медицинской помощи для себя он продолжал передвигаться среди товарищей руководя процессом оказания помощи. Когда он помогал одному из своих товарищей он получил новое ранение от вражеского миномётного обстрела, потеряв на этот раз правую руку. Хотя он осознавал что будет если ему немедленно не окажут медицинской помощи, он опять отказался от помощи и настоял чтобы всё было сделано для других раненых. Хотя он не мог выполнять задачу самостоятельно он оставался на поле боя и руководил другими солдатами объясняя им методы оказания первой медицинской помощи. Он отступил последним с поля боя и шёл, пока не упал обессилев от потери крови и через несколько минут скончался, пока его несли товарищи. Своим исключительным героизмом, незаурядным мужеством и непоколебимой преданностью к своим обязанностям рядовой Уомак заслужил высочайшую честь и поддержал почитаемые традиции американской армии.

According to snopes.com it is true.
But for those who don't want to head to snopes and read about it - they also say that there is no indication that it is being mass produced so law enforcement isn't too worried about them... also this one was checked on by snopes in 2001. So it's an oldie.
I think the reason they have you turn them on is more to see if it's a hollowed out case containing explosives, rather than a gun.
