JACKSON, Sir John (1596/7-1637), of Hickleton, Yorks.
1 Apr. 1624 - 28 May 1624
b. 1596/7,1 1st s. of Sir John Jackson† of Edderthorpe, Yorks. and the I.

Jackson came from a family of West Riding lawyers: his grandfather had been 'an attorney in great practice', and his father, an MP in 1589, succeeded Cuthbert Pepper† as king's attorney of the Council in the North, and acquired the manors of Hickleton and Womersley, near Pontefract. Jackson inherited this estate of around 2,000 acres on his father's death in October 1623.11
Jackson, one of the few gentry to sign Sir John Savile's return as knight of the shire at the 1624 general election, stood against Sir Richard Beaumont*, a follower of Savile's rival, Sir Thomas Wentworth*, at an election at Pontefract on 11 March. Jackson received over 40 voices, including that of the mayor, who duly sealed an indenture with the borough seal, but Beaumont then asked for a poll, only to break it off when it became clear he would lose; his supporters then drafted another indenture. Both returns were forwarded to Westminster, where Savile raised the issue in the Commons on 22 Mar., moving that Jackson be returned on the strength of his majority. Wentworth countered by alleging that Jackson's supporters included 'a popish faction', and that many had been created burgesses for the occasion of the election.12 The case was referred to the privileges' committee, but before it was reported on 1 Apr. Wentworth introduced a petition detailing various malpractices by Jackson's supporters. John Glanville then reported that Jackson should sit until any complaint against his return had been examined - which Wentworth's action now made necessary - and while Sir Edward Coke moved to have the case heard that afternoon, William Mallory (another Savile supporter) persuaded the House that the dispute should take its turn; Jackson was permitted to take his seat pending a decision.13
Under the circumstances, it is hardly surprising that Jackson kept a low profile in the Commons. On 15 Apr. he was named to two committees, one for a naturalization bill, the other for the bill for London's artisan cloth-workers. As a Yorkshire burgess, he also attended meetings of the committees for the Durham enfranchisement bill, and the bill to restrict assignment of private debts to the Crown.14 The verdict on the Pontefract election was finally reported on 28 May, the penultimate day of the session, when it was resolved that the disruption to the poll, though prompted by Beaumont, had invalidated Jackson's election. A new writ was ordered, and Jackson was re-elected on 17 June, but he never took his seat, as the parliament did not reconvene before King James's death.15
Before the 1625 election Jackson was reconciled with Wentworth, perhaps by his uncle Sir Henry Savile*. He pledged to support Wentworth's bid for the county seats, and in return Wentworth asked the mayor of Pontefract that 'Sir John Jackson may be my partner; ... and, in case I should serve in the other place [the county seat], that you then would join Sir Richard Beaumont with Sir John Jackson'. All went according to plan; but, presumably for fear of the plague, Jackson did not take his seat until the day of its dissolution.16
In November 1625 Wentworth was pricked as sheriff of Yorkshire to exclude him from the forthcoming Parliament. Jackson promised to 'endeavour a satisfaction' for any friend of Wentworth's at Pontefract in 1626, and the latter accordingly nominated Sir Francis Foljambe, 1st bt.; the pair were returned together. Like many Members, Jackson was little involved in the main business of the session, Buckingham's impeachment: on 5 Apr. he was one of those who delivered a Remonstrance to the king justifying the decision to charge Buckingham on the grounds of common fame rather than specific evidence; and on 20 May, when the House sought to exonerate (Sir) John Eliot* from allegations of treason arising from his presentation of impeachment charges against the duke - which had led to his arrest - Jackson insisted that he should not be required to withdraw from the chamber unless specific charges were brought against him.17
Jackson was more outspoken on the question of religion. At the committee for religion on 6 Mar. he produced a copy of the lord mayor of York's instructions for the reprieve of condemned Catholic priests, and was ordered, together with secretary of state (Sir) John Coke*, to inquire into its authenticity, which the king eventually admitted. He also attacked Arminian clerics; no theological tenets, he declared, were 'maintained with more subtle and acute wits', and while he dismissed Richard Montagu's works as 'theoretical and speculative', he warned that 'weakness itself, neglected, proves often dangerous'. The bill for 'continuing of peace and unity in church and commonwealth', to which committee he was named (14 June), was presumably intended to deal with this problem.18
Jackson probably went abroad after the dissolution, but on his return he played a prominent part in resisting the Forced Loan. In January 1627 Viscount Aire, a Scottish peer married to a Yorkshire widow, reported that Jackson had threatened to evict any of his tenants who paid the Loan, adding: 'by God's wounds, I could (or would) hang them with my own hands'. Summoned before the Privy Council, he denied the words, but was kept under house arrest in his lodgings in St. Martin's Lane while attorney-general (Sir) Robert Heath* and Secretary Sir Edward Conway I* searched for a second witness, for 'it would be very advantageous for the king's service to have a public hearing of some cause of this nature'.19
Wentworth hoped that the former Members would be re-elected at Pontefract in 1628, but Jackson warned that Foljambe would be opposed by Sir John Savile*, recently created steward of the honour. To rid himself of this unwelcome prospect he threatened to stand down, 'not so much out of fear of the grandees' opposition as in favour of my own purse; which, a great payment being at this instant upon me, requires some more ease than the ordinary expenses attending parliamentary service will afford me'. Wentworth took the hint, nominating Sir John Ramsden* as Jackson's partner instead of Foljambe.20 At the start of the 1628 session Jackson was named to the privileges' committee (20 Mar.), ordered to attend a conference with the Lords about a petition for a general fast (21 Mar.), and included on a committee inquiring into billeting abuses in Surrey (28 Mar.), but for all his earlier criticism of the Forced Loan, he played no part in the debates which led to the passage of the Petition of Right. A member of the committee for the bill against scandalous and unworthy ministers (19 Apr.), when a draft remonstrance was presented to the House on 14 June, he singled out another Arminian, Bishop Neile, claiming 'that in Durham he had poisoned the whole see with men of that profession'.21
After the end of the session, Jackson and Ramsden visited Pontefract, ostensibly to seek instructions from the electorate, but actually to triumph over Savile by hunting within his jurisdiction as gamekeeper of the honour. Savile's son Sir Thomas 'struck at Sir John with his drawn sword ... and drove him into a plash of water, ... saying that a pot of ale were fitter for him than a sword'. Wentworth's elevation to the Lords in July 1628 meant that his friends in the Commons kept a lower profile in the 1629 session, when Jackson's only committee nomination was to consider a petition against Savile's management of the recusancy composition scheme in the north (16 February). After the dissolution, he commenced a Star Chamber suit against Sir Thomas Savile for riot, and on 7 June 1632 he was awarded £150 damages.22
Jackson enjoyed a reputation for scholarship and literature; some of his Latin verse was published in a eulogy for Sir Rowland Cotton*. He drafted his will on 12 Apr. 1637, shortly before travelling to London for a course of physic, appointing his brothers-in-law Sir William Waller† and (Sir) Richard Hutton*, among others, as trustees for his infant son. He provided detailed instructions for the payment of debts, the raising of portions and the maintenance of his four children. His steward believed that 'your cure, though difficult, is not pronounced impossible'; but he died on 2 July and was buried near his father in St. Dunstan-in-the West. He was the last of the family to sit in Parliament.23

Own Your Part
On Your Terms
At The FORT, we make a conscious effort to give back to our local community and support worthy charitable efforts throughout the world. Embracing the fact that it's our clients who make this possible, we look to them for guidance on where to apply these contributions.
We will contribute a portion of revenues from every equipment finance transaction and 100% of proceeds from product sales to a Do Good effort that resonates with our team and our clients.
FYI: The Do Good Store
Q: How do you chose which 'do good' effort to support?
A: Thanks for asking! Each donation is split between two efforts...
1.) The first half of the donation is directed to our 'monthly focus' which is selected by a different member of our team each month. After selecting the cause they finish the following 'ad lib' to share a bit more about the reasoning for making their choice:
I selected______________BECAUSE___________________________________________________
2.) Our clients then have the opportunity to point us in the right direction for applying the second half of the donation to a do good, charitable cause they feel is worthy.
(Getting people involved in doing some good feels good)
FEBRUARY FOCUS:
The February focus is the Semper Fi Fund https://semperfifund.org/about/ and was selected by Chris Fleming our Business Development Manager.
The reasoning for his selection (in his own words):
"Christopher Markey, my Mom's cousin and my namesake, paid the ultimate price in Vietnam. He was a Second Lieutenant in the US Marines and was awarded the Purple Heart http://www.virtualwall.org/dm/MarkeyCH01a.htm. Although I never had the opportunity to meet him in person, I did feel the void felt by his loved ones and am proud to share his name. Today many family members of Marines that have sacrificed themselves, need support to carry on with their daily lives. This is an A+ top rated nonprofit charity, raising money for a good cause."
JANUARY FOCUS:
The January focus is The Big Brothers Big Sisters of America http://www.bbbs.org/ and was selected by John Turnacliff our Sales and Operations Manager.
"I selected Big Brothers / Big Sisters because, after 9/11 there was a lot of talk of "if you're ever going to do something to help your community, now is the time." Taking that to heart, I signed up to become a big brother. Big Brothers introduced me to a little guy of six years old who lived with his grandmother as did the majority of kids in his area. Over the next 11 years, we grew into having a great relationship and became part of each others families. There were a couple of things that surprised me. First, was how much I got out of the relationship, which was immeasurable. Second, was the amount of kids on the list to get Bigs (as they're called). They are a great group that doesn't appear to be one of those charities that raises money to raise money, they put it to work."
DECEMBER FOCUS:
The December focus is The Guardsmen http://guardsmen.org/ and was selected by Brian Fleming our VP of Equipment Finance and Managing Member.
"I selected The Guardsmen because so many of us are lucky enough to have people in our lives, whether it be; teachers, mentors, family, or friends who have had a profound positive impact on the trajectory of our lives. It's easy to take it for granted and overlook those who are not so fortunate. I've seen firsthand how The Guardsmen and their partners have had this type of positive impact on the lives of less fortunate at-risk children in the Bay Area. It's a commendable effort. Also, since starting our 'Charitable Promise' it's been evident that local do good efforts tend to be overlooked, and The Guardsmen is a worthy local effort that feels good to support."
NOVEMBER FOCUS:
The November focus is the American Brain Tumor Association www.abta.org and was selected by Michelle Modglin our Transaction Coordinator & Do Good Ambassador.
The reasoning for her selection (in her own words):
"I selected the American Brain Tumor Association because in June of 2013 my close friends father, Pastor Jim Newbold, passed away due to a Brain Tumor and while there is much attention focused on many of the cancer research foundations, this one is not 'out there' as prolifically. I personally was not aware of the foundation until Jim was diagnosed with a cancerous tumor in February 2011. The ABTA focuses on all types of Brain Tumors and supporting patients and their families and I feel it's a worthy effort to support"

UPDATE: Woman dies after being struck by freight train near Soham but death not being treated as suspicious
UPDATE: Rail chiefs have confirmed that a woman died at a level crossing near Soham last night but the death is not being treated as suspicious.
RAIL chiefs have confirmed that a woman died at a level crossing near Soham last night but the death is not being treated as suspicious.
Reports of a person being hit on the line between Ely and Ipswich caused temporary closure of the line and disrupted Greater Anglia services. At one point services from Peterborough were halted at Ely whilst those from Ipswich were stopped at Bury St Edmunds and buses provided for connecting passengers.
However late last night the line re-opened as details of the incident at Great Drove, Soham, emerged.
Confirming that a person had been struck by a train, British Transport Police reported they had been called to the line at the automatic half crossing at Tiled House Farm.
The incident involving a freight train happened at around 7.50pm.
Emergency services including paramedics attended but the woman was pronounced dead at the scene.
The coroner has been informed.
Passengers in and around Peterborough, Whittlesea, March, Ely, Bury St Edmunds, Stowmarket, Ipswich, Manningtree and Colchester were among those affected.


This classic do it yourself project is a great little science experiment that promotes STEM and STEAM education. This project has gain lots of traction and seems to be an ever growing trend. There's hundreds of videos and tutorials showing how to make different variants from majestic unicorn poop to cosmic galaxy glitter. This might be only one with LEDs!
You've heard of glow-in-the-dark slime, but what about Light Up NeoPixel slime! The florescent colors of slim combined with an ultra violet light source can make for some interesting effects. It's also (somewhat) conductive so it can be used to make projects with capacitive touch!
Most of the ingredients to make slime can be found at your local shopping market but maybe you have some on hand! The original recipe calls for a mixture of baking soda and contact fluid but Elmer's now has a pre-made solution called Magic Liquid that is specially made to make slime.
These are some handy things to have when mixing and handing slime.

1. Aseptic pouch (1) for packaging food products, comprising two walls which are bonded together so as to bound an internal space (2) which is sterilized and hermetically closed, characterized in that it comprises at least one scaling (7; 12) which joins together said walls and extends between opposite sides (5, 6) of the pouch (1) and defines a neck portion (8) of said internal space (2) and two border portions (9) external to said internal space, said neck portion (8) being suitable for providing, after opening of the pouch (1), an access to said internal space (2) and said border portions (9) being suitable for providing grips for handling said pouch.
2. Aseptic pouch according to claim 1, characterized in that said sealing (7) defines a broken line comprising at least five segments, of which two segment arranged at the ends of said line (7a and 7e) and a central segment (7c) are transversal with respect to opposite sides (5, 6) of the pouch (1) between which the sealing (7) extends.
3. Aseptic pouch according to claim 1, characterized in that said sealing (7) defines a broken line comprising at least five segments, of which two segment arranged at the ends of said line (7a and 7e) and a central segment (7c) are perpendicular with respect to opposite sides (5, 6) of the pouch (1) between which the sealing (7) extends.

5. Aseptic pouch according to claim 1, characterized in that said sealing (12) is curved.
6. Aseptic pouch according to claim 1, characterized in that it has a substantially quadrangular shape, said sealing (7; 12) extending between edges of the pouch which are not contiguous.
7. Aseptic pouch according to one of the preceding claims, characterized in that it comprises one or more further sealings which join together said walls of the pouch (1) extending within said border portions (9).
8. Aseptic pouch according to claim 1, characterized in that said walls are made of a weldable polycoupled material.
9. Web characterized in that it comprises a plurality of pouches according to claim 1, connected together
10. Method for packaging a food product in an aseptic pouch (1) according to claim 1, characterized in that it comprises the steps of: cutting within said neck portion (8) of the aseptic pouch (1), thus forming an opening (10) for the access to said internal space (2); filling the pouch through said opening (10); a sealing the aseptic pouch (1).
11. Method according to claim 10, characterized in that said sealing is carried out between said opening (10) and the base of said neck portion (9).
The present invention relates to a spoutless aseptic pouch and to a method for packaging food products.
Pouches which can be used for packaging food products having high degradability are known, which are presealed and their internal space, which is thus completely closed, is sterilized.
Said pouches are generally sold in webs comprising a plurality of pouches connected one to the other. The webs can be fed as such to some known food product packaging apparatuses, which are provided with a device for cutting the web in single pouches which can be closed or already opened. In the case that the pouch is closed, the apparatuses which perform the packaging of food products are also provided with a device for opening the pouches which cuts each pouch close to an edge thereof removing it entirely. Subsequently, the pouch is filled with the food product and resealed.
The removed edge forms a waste which is taken away from the rest of the pouch and discharged by the packaging apparatus. Thus, the apparatus needs to be accordingly designed for carrying out this step. It is therefore clear that the creation of a waste resulting from the step of opening the pouches is a drawback, which complicates the packaging process since it implies the need of a further step to be carried out. Further, the formation of the waste requires the presence, in the apparatus, of an additional opening for its elimination, thus increasing the risk of pollution from external contaminants. On the other hand, opening the pouches only when it is inside the aseptic portion of the packaging apparatus is a necessary condition for carrying out the packaging of food products having high degradability.
Pouches have already been disclosed which comprise reinforcing weldings or inserts, having the most dissimilar functions, for instance the function of increasing the strength of the pouch in the area of the handle.
U.S. Pat. No. 2,951,628 and U.S. Pat. No. 3,924,383 disclose pouches provided with an L-shaped reinforcing welding which defines a portion of the pouch where a handle is provided, and at the same time defines an emptying channel which allows easily pouring of the pouch content.
Also U.S. Pat. No. 5,378,065 discloses a pouch provided with a channel for emptying the food product made by means of an additional welding.
However, the pouches disclosed in the above mentioned patents are not presealed, but are superiorly open, and are seated only after the filling thereof. Therefore, said pouches are not suitable for carrying out an aseptic packaging of food products having high degradability.
An object of the present invention is therefore to provide an aseptic pouch and a method for packaging a food product, which are free from the above mentioned drawbacks. Said object is obtained by means of an aseptic pouch whose main features are specified in the first claim and other features are specified in the following claims, and a web whose features are specified in claim 9. The features of the method for packaging a food product are specified in claims 10 and 11.
The main advantage of the presealed and internally presterilized pouch according to the present invention consists in that, thanks to a particular sealing of which it is provided, it can be opened, filled and sealed inside an apparatus of known type, without creating wastes.
Another advantage of the aseptic pouch according to the present invention consists in that it does not require a high precision in carrying out the steps of opening and closing the pouch.
In addition, independently of the size of the pouches, opening and closing devices having fixed dimension can be used, so as to avoid expensive adjustments of the apparatus which were necessary up to now when changing from large to small pouches or vice versa.
A further advantage of the aseptic pouch according to the present invention consists in that the opening step thereof by means of a packaging apparatus involves also the creation of a handle in a reinforced portion of the pouch.
Further advantages and features of the aseptic pouch according to the present invention will be clear for those which are skilled in the art from the following detailed and non limiting description of two embodiments thereof which make reference to the accompanying drawings.
FIG. 1 shows a front view of an aseptic pouch according to a first embodiment of the invention;
FIG. 1a shows a front view of an aseptic pouch according to a second embodiment of the invention; and
FIG. 2 Shows a front view of the pouch of FIG. 1, already filled in with a food product and closed.
With reference to FIG. 1, there is shown that the aseptic pouch 1 according to the present invention comprises two walls bonded together so as to form an internal space 2 of the pouch which is sterilized and hermetically closed.
The two walls are made preferably with a sealable plastic material, suitable for packaging food products. For example, polycoupled materials can be used. Said materials are known in the field and have also the property of gas-tightness, so that pouch 1, once it has been closed and internally sterilized with known methods, for instance by treatment with gamma rays, maintains indefinitely its aseptic features.
In the embodiment shown in the figures, pouch 1 has a substantially quadrangular shape, which is preferred since it is easy to manufacture and can be advantageously provided to the final users in the shape of a web comprising a plurality of pouches connected one to the other. However, also pouches having other shapes than the quadrangular one could be connected in series so as to form a web, for example pouches having slightly curved lateral sides which converge towards the center of the lower edge.
The walls of pouch 1 can be formed either from two separate sheet elements, sealed at the upper edge 3, lower edge 4 and lateral edges 5 and 6, as shown in the figure, or from a single tubular element, flattened and transversally sealed so as to form an upper and a lower edge of the pouch, according to a process known in the field.
In the present description and in the claims, by sealing is meant a hermetical junction of the pouch walls, which can be made by means of thermo welding or ultrasound welding, or with other methods such as gluing of the two walls with a glue which is gas-tight and suitable for the contact with food.
According to the invention, pouch 1 is also provided with a sealing 7 which joins together said walls and extends between opposite sides of the pouch, and in particular, in the embodiment of the invention which is shown in the figures, between lateral sides 5 and 6,
Sealing 7 is suitable for defining, in said internal space 2, a neck portion 8, separating it from two border portions 9, external to said internal space, which are adjoining said neck portion 8 at the two sides of the pouch.
Neck portion 8 forms a thin and restricted portion of the internal space 2 and, as it will be described more in detail with reference to FIG. 2, is suitable for providing an access to said internal space 2 after opening the pouch by means of a suitable device of the packaging apparatus.
On the contrary the two border portions 9, between which neck portion 8 is arranged, are not included in the internal space 2 and form ideal grip areas for handling the pouch by means of a suitable device of the packaging apparatus.
In a preferred embodiment of the invention, said sealing 7 defines a broken line comprising at least five segments which separate a neck portion 8 from two border portions 9 at the sides thereof. In particular, two external segments 7a ad 7e and a central segment 7c are arranged transversally with respect to the opposite edges of the pouch between which extends the sealing 7, for instance perpendicularly. Two other segments 7b and 7d are obviously necessary to link the free ends of the first mentioned segments. Sealing 7 can comprise a higher number of segments, for example six or seven, which are anyway preferably arranged substantially in a symmetrical way with respect to the center of said broken line.
According to an alternative embodiment of the invention, shown in FIG. 1a, the line defined by a sealing 12 is curved, and separates also in this case a neck portion 8 of the internal space 2 from two border portions 9 external to said internal space.
In the embodiments of the invention shown in FIGS. 1 and 1a, the border portions 9 are internally free from scalings, however further scalings between the walls of the pouch could be provided in said border portions or even in the internal space of the pouch, for example reinforcing sealings or scalings having other purposes.
Now, with reference to FIG. 2, there is shown the pouch of FIG. 1 after that it has been submitted to a packaging method according to the present invention in a packaging machine of a known type.
In said apparatus, the pouch can be seized and handled through its border portions 9. Pouch 1 is then cut in aseptic environment within neck portion 8, so as to form an opening 10 for the access to the internal space 2.
The cutting of the pouch does not involve the creation of any waste since no part of the pouch is removed.
Besides, since the size of the cutting device is proportioned to that of the neck portion 8 and not to that of the whole pouch, the filling of pouches having different sizes can be made with the same apparatus, without need to modify or adapt said apparatus by changing from large to small pouches or vice versa. As a matter of fact it is sufficient to provide pouches according to the present invention of various sizes, but having a neck portion of standard size.
Inside said opening 10 is then inserted a filling nozzle of the packaging apparatus which injects a desired quantity of a food products inside internal space 2. Subsequently, the filling nozzle is taken out of opening 10 and the pouch is closed by means of a sealing 11, preferably a thermo welding or an ultrasound welding, which is made between said opening 10 and the base of said neck portion 9. In the present description and in the claims, base of the neck portion 9 means the area where said neck portion 9 opens into the internal space 2. Also the sealing device of the packaging apparatus is proportioned to the size of the neck portion 8 and not to that of the pouch 1, with the same advantage above indicated for the cutting device.
Opening 10 forms at this point a useful handle for carrying pouch 1, which is also reinforced thanks to sealing 7.
Possible variations and/or additions can be made by those which are skilled in the art to the invention hereby described and illustrated still remaining within the scope of the following claims.

Guantanamo's Oldest Inmate Released
A 75-year-old Pakistani, who was never charged with a crime, has been sent home after 17 years in the prison
The US has ordered the release of the oldest inmate at the Guantanamo Bay detention center on Saturday and returned him to Pakistan. The prisoner, who never stood trial or faced formal charges, had been detained for almost 20 years after being held on suspicion of having ties to Al-Qaeda.
Saifullah Paracha, a 75-year-old Pakistani businessman, was freed after spending more than 17 years in US custody. The US authorities claimed that Paracha was an Al-Qaeda "facilitator" who helped two people linked to the terrorist group with a financial transaction.
The Pakistani national, however, has repeatedly insisted that he didn't know they were part of Al-Qaeda and claimed he was not involved in supporting terrorism.
In a statement, the US Department of Defense did not offer any details about the reasoning behind the decision, but said the detention of Paracha is "no longer necessary to protect against a continuing significant threat to the security of the United States."
According to Pakistan's Foreign Ministry, the repatriation was made possible by "an extensive inter-agency process."
"We are glad that a Pakistani citizen detained abroad is finally reunited with his family," it added.
Paracha was seized by FBI operatives in Thailand in 2003 and was initially held in a US military prison in Bagram, Afghanistan, where, according to his lawyers, he had a heart attack. He was then transferred to the notorious detention facility in Guantanamo Bay in Cuba in September 2004, where he remained imprisoned until his release.
In May last year, however, the inmate, who has been suffering from diabetes, coronary artery disease and high blood pressure, was notified that he had been approved for release.
The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) says that, since 2002, around 800 men have passed through Guantanamo, where many were subjected to torture and other brutal treatment. According to the US Department of Defense, at present 35 detainees remain at Guantanamo Bay, with 20 of them eligible for transfer and three eligible for review.
The detention facility was set up by US President George W. Bush to host foreign terrorists captured abroad following the 9/11 attacks. Several US administrations vowed to shut it down, but it remains open, largely due to legal and political hurdles.

Bridge Collapse in India Kills Dozens – Officials
US Has Lost Global Leadership in Nuclear Power – IAEA Chief
Moscow has slammed the suggestion as "disgusting"
Finnish Foreign Minister Pekka Haavisto has claimed that Russia may have been behind the public burning of Korans in Stockholm, Sweden last week. He added that the stunt could have been orchestrated to derail the country's bid to join NATO.
On January 21, Rasmus Paludan, an anti-Islam activist and leader of a minor Danish far-right party, Stram Kurs (Hard Line), set the Muslim holy book on fire outside the Turkish Embassy in Stockholm. Ankara strongly protested the action, with President Recep Tayyip Erdogan saying on Monday that Sweden could no longer rely on T?rkiye's support for its accession to the US-led military bloc.
On Friday, Paludan burned copies of the Koran in front of a mosque, the Turkish Embassy, and the Russian Consulate in Copenhagen, Denmark.
Speaking to Finnish TV channel Yle on Saturday, Haavisto floated the idea that Russia could be linked to the book burning. "This matter is under investigation. Various ties in the activist's circle have been uncovered," Haavisto said. "I cannot say with certainty … But we have been shown a concept of how to act in order to inflict maximum damage [to the NATO membership bid]."

The Russian Foreign Ministry harshly condemned the Koran burning. Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said on Sunday that Haavisto's suggestion that Moscow may have been responsible for the incident was "disgusting to watch."
Finland and Sweden ditched their longstanding policies of non-alignment and jointly applied to join NATO last year, citing Russia's military operation in Ukraine.

'If this is not evil, then evil has no meaning': How a landmark speech paved the way for the US to unleash death and destruction
The Russian 'bad boy' who brought tennis glory to his country
Original Post: rt.com
The RAND Corporation, a highly influential elite national security think tank funded directly by the Pentagon, has published a landmark report stating that prolonging the proxy war is actively harming the US and its allies and warning Washington that it should avoid "a protracted conflict" in Ukraine.
What are the US' interests in Ukraine
The report has an unequivocal title, "Avoiding a long war: US policy and the trajectory of the Russia-Ukraine conflict," which provides a strong indication as to its contents.
It starts by stating that the fighting represents "the most significant interstate conflict in decades, and its evolution will have major consequences" for Washington, which includes US "interests" being actively harmed. The report makes it very clear that while Ukrainians have been doing the fighting, and their cities have been "flattened" and "economy decimated," these "interests" are "not synonymous" with Kiev's.
The US ending its financial, humanitarian and particularly military support promptly would cause Ukraine to completely collapse, and RAND cites several reasons why doing so would be sensible, not least because a Ukrainian victory is regarded as both "improbable" and "unlikely," due to Russian "resolve," and its military mobilization having "rectified the manpower deficit that enabled Ukraine's success in the Kharkiv counteroffensive."
From the perspective of US "interests," RAND warns that while the Kremlin has not threatened to use nuclear weapons, there are "several issues that make Russian use of nuclear weapons both a plausible contingency Washington needs to account for and a hugely important factor in determining the future trajectory of the conflict."
And what are the risks for the US
The think tank believes the Biden administration "has ample reason to make the prevention of Russian use of nuclear weapons a paramount priority." In particular, it should seek to avoid a "direct nuclear exchange" with Moscow, a "direct conflict with Russia", or wider "NATO-Russia war."
On the latter point, RAND worries that US general Mark Milley's demand that the conflict stay "inside the geographical boundaries of Ukraine" is on the verge of being disrespected, as "the extent of NATO allies' indirect involvement in the war is breathtaking in scope," including "tens of billions of dollars' worth of weapons and other aid" and "tactical intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance support," along with "billions of dollars monthly in direct budgetary support to Kiev."
Such largesse could, RAND forecasts, prompt Moscow to "punish NATO members…with the objective of ending allied support for Ukraine; strike NATO preemptively if Russia perceives that NATO intervention in Ukraine is imminent; interdict the transfer of arms to Ukraine; retaliate against NATO for perceived support for internal unrest in Russia," if the Kremlin concludes the country's national security is "severely imperiled."
These outcomes are "by no means inevitable," but still represent an "elevated" risk, particularly in light of incidents such as a Ukrainian air defense missile striking Polish territory in November 2022 – a situation exacerbated by Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky falsely claiming it was a deliberate Russian strike. While this event "did not spiral out of control, it did demonstrate that fighting can unintentionally spill over to the territory of neighboring US allies."
Another incident like that could mean "the US military would immediately be involved in a hot war with a country that has the world's largest nuclear arsenal." This, as well as a conventional conflict between NATO and Russia, is a prospect Washington should avoid at all costs, RAND argues.
A clear implication is the US could lose such a conflict, one key reason being, as pointed out by RAND, "the intensity of the military assistance" being given to Ukraine by its Western backers is already approaching an "unsustainable" level, with US and European weapons stocks "running low." This consequently means a longer war equals more Ukrainian territory reunified with Russia.
Is there a solution?
On the subject of territorial losses, RAND is unmoved by arguments Ukraine should attempt to recapture all that it has lost since 2014, as "greater territorial control is not directly correlated with greater economic prosperity" or "greater security." Land having been retaken by Kiev since September means "Russia has imposed far greater economic costs on the country as a whole."
RAND also considers the worth of arguments that "greater Ukrainian territorial control" should be assured "to reinforce international norms, and to foster Ukraine's future economic growth" to be "debatable," as even in the "unlikely" event Kiev pushes "beyond the pre-February 2022 line of control and manages to retake areas that Russia has occupied since 2014," the risks of escalation from Moscow, including "nuclear use or an attack on NATO" will "spike."
The Kremlin would likely treat the potential loss of Crimea as a much more significant threat both to national security and regime stability," the report warns.
All these factors make "avoiding a long war…the highest priority after minimizing escalation risks," so RAND recommends the US "take steps that make an end to the conflict over the medium term more likely," including "issuing assurances regarding the country's neutrality," something that Moscow had requested before the conflict began, to deaf ears, as well as "sanctions relief for Russia."
However, the report warns against a "dramatic, overnight shift in US policy," as this would be "politically impossible – both domestically and with allies," instead recommending the development of "instruments" to bring the war to a "negotiated end," and "socializing them with Ukraine and with US allies" in advance to lessen the blow. This process should be started quickly though, as "the alternative is a long war that poses major challenges for the US, Ukraine, and the rest of the world."
What this proposal ignores is that Western leaders have consistently proven they cannot be trusted to respect or adhere to treaties they have signed and brokered with Russia, such as the Minsk Accords, which former German Chancellor Angela Merkel has admitted were never intended to be implemented, but rather to buy time for Kiev.
It may be the case then that Moscow won't be interested in RAND's solution at all, and choose instead to finish the war on its own terms.

A military facility was targeted in a strike resulting in only minor damage, Tehran has said
Iran has condemned an overnight drone attack that targeted a Defense Ministry facility in the city of Isfahan. Foreign Minister Hossein Amirabdollahian insisted on Sunday that the strike will not affect the progress the country is making in developing peaceful nuclear energy.
Speaking at a joint press conference with his Qatari counterpart in Tehran, Amirabdollahian insisted that acts such as this will not have any impact on Iranian specialists' "will and intentions" or obstruct their advances in peaceful nuclear energy.Earlier, the Iranian Defense Ministry said that a military 'workshop' in Isfahan was targeted in an attack that resulted in no casualties and caused only minor damage. It is unclear if the facility has anything to do with Tehran's nuclear program.
Officials will now launch an investigation into the incident. Parliament's Security and Foreign Policy Committee will discuss the issue with Defense Ministry officials, the committee's spokesman, Mahmoud Abbaszadeh Meshkini, told Mehr News Agency.
The authorities in the province of Isfahan also launched an investigation, according to Fars News Agency, citing a local official.
The attack, which involved at least three 'micro drones', took place late Saturday, according to military officials. One unmanned aerial vehicle was shot down and two others "fell into defensive traps and exploded," the Iranian Defense Ministry said in a statement, adding that the assault resulted in no casualties and only minor damage.
Iranian social media also reported blasts in various parts of the country at that time, including a major blaze at an oil refinery in the northwestern city of Azarshahr. On Sunday, the nation's IRNA news agency called the reports about the explosions false.
A senior official in Iran's East Azerbaijan province, where Azarshahr is located, also told the news agency that a fire was caused by a leak in an oil pipe and had nothing to do with any other incidents. He also said the blaze was extinguished within hours and led to no casualties.
Al Arabiya reported, citing unnamed American sources, that the US Air Force and another nation were involved in the attack. The media outlet also claimed that the drone strike targeted a ballistic missile depot.
The Jerusalem Post cited Western intelligence sources as saying that the attack was "a tremendous success," contrary to what the Iranian authorities said.
Officials in Tehran have yet to name any suspects.


THOUSAND OAKS, Calif. >> Using a smoke bomb and a handgun, a hooded former Marine dressed all in black opened fire during college night at a country music bar in Southern California, killing 12 people and sending hundreds fleeing in panic before apparently taking his own life, authorities said today.
The killer was identified as Ian David Long, a 28-year-old veteran who authorities said had an episode of erratic behavior last spring that was thought to be post-traumatic stress disorder because of his military background.
Trump praised police for their "great bravery" in the California attack and said, "God bless all of the victims and families of the victims." He ordered flags flown at half-staff in honor of the victims.
Authorities began a search of Long's home in Newbury Park, about 5 miles from the Borderline bar, for clues to what set him off.
Dean said his department had several previous contacts with Long, including a call to his home in April, when deputies found him angry and acting irrationally because of what authorities thought might have been PTSD. A mental health crisis team was called and concluded Long did not need to be taken into custody, Dean said.
Dean said the other prior encounters were a traffic accident and an incident in which Long was the victim of a battery at a bar.
Helus was immediately hit with multiple gunshots, Dean said. The highway patrolman pulled Helus out, then waited as a SWAT team and scores more officers arrived. Helus died early today at a hospital.
The slain sheriff's officer was a 29-year veteran of the force with a wife and son and planned to retire in the coming year, said the sheriff, choking back tears.

Shrink at the rink: Chloe Madeley needs therapist to control her nerves at Dancing On Ice final
Chloe Madeley has demanded to have a therapist on standby tonight to calm her nerves during the contest's final.
The daughter of husband-and-wife presenting couple Richard Madeley and Judy Finnegan is one of three finalists taking to the ice.
The therapist will be at the edge of the rink to help the 23-year-old get through the competition.
Finalists: Laura Hamilton, Sam Attwater and Cloe Madeley will battle it out in the Dancing On Ice final tomorrow night
Chloe has also been undergoing sessions with psychiatrist Dr Raj Persaud – who worked with her parents on ITV's This Morning – to help her cope with performance anxiety and panic attacks during Dancing On Ice's 12-week run.
Dancing On Ice's Christopher Dean praises Sam Attwater and Chloe Madeley... but fails to mention third... Keep in touch with the latest showbiz gossip by following the Daily Mail's Twitter page
She said: 'The show takes very good care of me. They have people on standby all the time saying, ''you can do it.'' '
Ten million people are expected to see Miss Madeley and her two rivals go head-to-head on ITV1.
Nervous wreck: Chloe Madeley is worried that her lift with partner Michael Zenezini will go wrong in the final
EastEnders actor Sam Attwater is favourite to win, closely followed by children's TV presenter Laura Hamilton, 28.
Chloe is said to be a 'nervous wreck' over tomorrow's final and fears she'll mess up the lift which she hopes to bring her victory.
Chloe and her dance partner Michael Zenezini will try to recreate the lift that Patrick Swayze and Jennifer Grey made famous in the 1987 hit film Dirty Dancing.
But if it goes wrong, her dream of winning the competition will be shattered and a show source says she's 'really scared'.
The source told the Daily Mirror: 'It's affecting her and she's not as confident.
'Rehearsals weren't great and we just hope she doesn't crack up if she makes a mistake. It could lead to a meltdown.
'On top of that she also has a rib injury and problems with her knees, so it is not going to be easy for her as the underdog.'
Impressive moves: Chloe impressed earlier in the series with dance moves like these ones
She's not the only contestant to be battling with an injury in the final though, as Sam Attwater has a rib injury too.
The former EastEnders star crashed into the ice during rehearsals earlier in the week, leaving his with sprained ribs and slashed knuckles.
'I was doing a lift where I'm lifting two girls and then I just went and the way I landed I tried to save both the girls and went down and sprained my ribs and got a blade across my knuckles,' he said.
But despite his fall, Sam is still the bookies' favourite to win the dance-off against Chloe and Laura Hamilton.
Sam, 24, is set to dance to Footloose, while 28-year-old Laura is planning to shine while dancing to Madonna's Express Yourself.
But children's TV presenter Laura is also said to be scared that her fan base isn't strong enough
Injuries: Sam Attwater crashed into the ice during rehearsals earlier in the week, leaving his with sprained ribs and slashed knuckle
She said: 'Of course I was worried the fact not many people knew me could go against me.
'I always knew from week one when it was completely down to the public vote that we'd struggle to make it through.
'You don't know how the public have taken to you – that's why we didn't expect to get this far.'
Meanwhile, Chloe said of her routine: 'I have lots of boys in my showcase and lots of lifts.
'There's pressure from all these men telling me to get it right. I don't want to injure anyone and I find it quite overwhelming.'
Pay rise: Judge Jason Gardiner, picture here in the hat alongside Holly Willoughby and fellow judges Robin Cousins and Emma Bunton apparently wants more money
Under his hat: The star is rumoured to have undergone a £12,000 hair transplant
Meanwhile, acid-tongued judge Jason Gardiner is said to be demanding that his wages are doubled or he'll quit the show.
Jason is apparently paid £100,000 for the series and has just spent £12,000 on a hair transplant.
The People reports: 'I know they want me on the next series but they are going to have to pay what I'm worth.
The Dancing On Ice final kicks off tomorrow at 7:40pm on ITV1
Worried: TV presenter Laura is also said to be scared that her fan base isn't strong enough to win

US judge won't delay Lohan case
7:03am Mar 2, 2013
A judge has refused to delay Lindsay Lohan's trial on reckless driving and other charges and admonished her attorney, saying he needs help on the case.
Superior Court Judge James Dabney advised New York lawyer Mark Heller that his pleadings weren't appropriate under California law.
Heller was told to get assistance from another lawyer or Lohan would be required to attend hearings to gauge his ability to represent her.
The actress was not required to attend Friday's hearing. Heller did not comment after it ended.
Dabney also said there was no good reason to delay the March 18 trial, noting that he was sceptical that more time would allow Lohan to demonstrate she had changed after years of run-ins with the law.
"I don't know how the next two weeks is suddenly going to change the history of this case, these cases," Dabney said.
Lohan has pleaded not guilty to misdemeanour charges of reckless driving, lying to police and obstructing officers after her sports car crashed in June as she and a passenger headed to a movie shoot.
Cinema fight breaks out among teens armed with machetes
Indian man arrested after impersonating pilot to bypass security
Man with rare condition that makes his eyes glow like Eye of Sauron
Lohan was on probation in a theft case at the time.
Heller had sought a delay as he works with prosecutors to reach a plea deal that could allow Lohan to pursue inspirational speaking or other community service.
Lohan could face a return to jail if she is convicted, or if a judge determines she violated the terms of her sentence in the 2011 necklace theft case.


If you still aren't inclined, then dive into those pancakes . Either way, you are in for a spectacularly delicious, spectacularly easy morning(/afternoon) breakfast.
Disclaimer: The pictures aren't that great. I was hungry. Someday I will get with the whole not eating the food you photograph so you can get the perfect picture. But the waffles were hot, and they were good, it was worth every calorie.
Whisk dry (flour, corn flour, salt, today of bicarbonate) together in a medium bowl.
Whisk buttermilk (or substitue), melted butter, and egg yolk in small bowl.
Add buttermilk mixture to dry mixture slowly folding with a spatula. Don't overmix! Lightly fold in egg white to mixture. Will still see streaks. Note if making the evening before, wait to whisk and add egg white until the morning.
Following the waffle iron's instruction, cook waffle until brown and serve immediately or keep warm in an oven about 100 degrees celsius (200 deg F) on a wire rack. But to make things easy I just put the batter in a jug and bring the waffle iron to the table.

The Chances of a GoPro Inc (GPRO) Bounceback
GoPro Inc (GPRO) is down today, but could be set for future gains
GoPro Inc (NASDAQ:GPRO) puts are in high demand this afternoon, with China once again weighing on the broader market -- and tech stocks, in particular. In fact, the camera maker's puts are crossing at nearly twice the usual afternoon rate.
Most active is GPRO's in-the-money October 65 put, which may be seeing buy-to-open activity. If this is indeed the work of buyers, breakeven on the transaction is $53.74, or the strike less the volume-weighted average price of $11.26. In other words, these traders anticipate GPRO will breach $53.74 by the close on Friday, Oct. 16, when the options expire.
From a wider vantage point, however, long calls have been the options of choice at the International Securities Exchange (ISE), Chicago Board Options Exchange (CBOE), and NASDAQ OMX PHLX (PHLX). Specifically, GPRO's 10-day call/put volume ratio of 2.09 indicates calls have been initiated at more than double the rate of puts. What's more, this ratio ranks in the 65th percentile of its annual range.
Not everyone's bullish toward GPRO, though. While short interest has declined in recent reporting periods, over 15% of its float remains shorted, suggesting there's still some sideline cash available to help fuel future gains.
As alluded to earlier, GoPro Inc (NASDAQ:GPRO) has hit a rough patch today, down 5.2% at $56.03. Longer term, though, it's a different story. Since touching an annual low of $37.13 on March 10, the stock has surged 51%. Should GPRO bounce from its 80-day moving average -- as it did about one month ago -- short sellers could be forced to the exits.


Tom McCain moved to New Mexico as a youngster where he often wandered the vast empty East Mesa of what is now the North East Heights in Albuquerque. He developed a love for the land and the many wild creatures that inhabited the area including the Western Short Horned Lizard.
As an adult, Tom found his niche in the jewelry and lapidary industry as a wax carver, specializing in animal carvings. At first, he carved the usual common animals like deer, elk, bear and rabbits. Eventually, he developed a line of several hundred jewelry animals.
One afternoon while he was seated at his favorite meditation place on his ranch on the Turquoise Trail near the town of Madrid, Tom noticed a small Horny Toad sitting close to an anthill. He intently watched its every move. I guess you are here to remind me of something, he told the little Horny Toad. I have carved just about every other southwestern animal except for you, and you were my favorite when I was a kid.
Using the small lizard as a model, Tom carved his first Horny Toad, which he produced as a scatter pin. He found that his little Horny Toad was his biggest attention getter. When he just held up his Horny Toad scatter pin people would stop to see it.
It seemed that he wasn't the only one who grew up playing with Horny Toads. People not only stopped but they related their childhood stories about playing with Horny Toads. Many of the people from the rural communities and Native American Pueblos began telling Tom legends and stories about the Horny Toad from their own cultures.
Due to the popularity of the Horned Lizard items, Tom McCain created the Horny Toad Connection, LLC which now produces hundreds of Horny Toad items. These can be ordered on line from this web site.
Tom is known around the Southwest as the Horny Toad Man. Thousands of people who have attended State Fairs and regional shows have heard Tom pass on his legends, stories and jokes about the Horny Toad.


Is there a local support group in this area? If so, can you please let me have the contact information?
Hi Kim--I live in East Islip, the only support group I know of around here meets in West Islip. It's called the Suffolk County Celiac Support Group.
My husband works in Bohemia and a lot of my friends/roomates in college were from Ronkonkoma.
We live in Westchester and I work in the city but I've been dying to go to Mama's for their gluten-free menu. We went to Pace's Steakhouse in Happague for his work Christmas party and they were so great about making sure everything was safe for me. If you are looking to go out for a nice meal I would highly reccomend Pace's. They really couldn't have been nicer and more accomodating.
Thank you so much for the information. I should have been more clear -- it was for someone else (I live in Pittsburgh) but I am going to pass it along. Thanks again. It's so wonderful that everyone is so helpful.
You live in east islip?! I live ther too! How crazy! i just went to my first meeting there last week!
im also helping out at the vendor fair june 11 too!
Where you there at the may 06 meeting?
Yah Deb! I live right by where you work! see you at the fair!


I love creating memories, capturing the fine details of a moment in its true essence and am always trying something new in all my shoots. This fine art maternity photography session was all about capturing the joy of a new life that was about to arrive soon.
In this maternity session I experimented a little away from my usual love for the whites and pastels. I had been wanting to do such a vintage session and Kanika & Kavish were not only exuberant parents-to-be but also posed perfectly with all the poise and confidence for this fine art maternity session.
My each and every session is personally designed keeping the expectations, style preferences and comfort of my clients in mind.
Your pregnancy is an art and I would love to put it on a canvas for you to cherish forever, and always.
She did a great job for our maternity shoot. She understands and make you comfortable to take the best out of you which is then captured into beautiful memories.
Would surely recommend her to our network.

UPDATE!! LOVE ISLAND'S MOLLY HAGUE AND TOMMY FURY NAME ...
FRESH MUSIC: LIL YACHTY – LET'S START HERE
MADONNA FANS EXPRESS DISMAY AS SINGER'S 40TH ANNIVERSARY TOUR TICKETS SELL FOR ALMOST £3,000 AMID LIVING CRISIS
Madonna revealed earlier this week that she will mark her 40th year in music with a "Celebration Tour" in North America and Europe.
Madonna has just announced 'The Celebration Tour': 4 decades of music and her greatest hits!!
⭐ Watch the tour announcement video: https://t.co/e5BKBi8lvj
⭐ Full tour itinerary and ticket info: https://t.co/SMg2SqwAbk#madonnacelebrationtour pic.twitter.com/cgvbJJxI7t
— Madonna (@Madonna) January 17, 2023
Fans were thrilled at the thought of experiencing such a significant milestone in the Queen of Pop's career with her, but that was before the ticket pricing was revealed later this week.
Ahead of the general ticket sales on Friday (Jan. 20th), fans who attempted to secure their seats with pre-sale tickets, learned of the steep pricing for the event, with some tickets costing nearly £3000.
The situation is exacerbated for fans in the United Kingdom, who were only allocated one tour date on October 14th at London's O2 Arena, causing pre-sale ticket prices to skyrocket by up to seven times the original cost.
On the ticket marketplace Viagogo, there are some listings for general admission tickets with an original cost of £400 going for a staggering £2950, while the Immaculate VIP package's price on Ticketmaster is listed as £1,307.75.
Cost for basic tickets began at £47.55 at the beginning of the pre-sale on Wednesday at 9 a.m. However, as of yesterday (Jan 19th), prices of the remaining tickets ranged from £93 to £436.85 apiece as the more reasonably priced seats were quickly taken.
Madonna will begin her tour in Vancouver before stopping in various cities in the US, Canada, the UK, and Europe.
The Live Nation-produced tour will begin on July 15 at Rogers Arena in Vancouver, British Columbia, before making stops in Detroit, Chicago, New York, Miami, and Los Angeles. Madonna will kick off her oversees tour in London on October 14th, before stopping in various European cities including Barcelona, Paris, and Stockholm, and many others. The Celebration Tour will come to an end in Ziggo Dome in Amsterdam, Netherlands on Friday, December 1st.
Billed to audiences on an artistic journey through her four decades in music, Madonna will pay respect to the city of New York where her career began.
She said of the upcoming tour, "I am excited to explore as many songs as possible in hopes to give my fans the show they have been waiting for."
All dates on the international tour of the Celebration Tour will include special guest Bob the Drag Queen, also known as Caldwell Tidicue, who will deliver a one-of-a-kind experience.

Chromoblastomycosis
Duane R. Hospenthal
OVERVIEW: What every clinician needs to know
Pathogen name and classification
Chromoblastomycosis is a disease caused by one of a group of dark-walled fungi (phaeohyphomycetes). The most common etiologic agent is Fonsecaea pedrosoi. Other fungi that cause this disease include Cladophialophora carrionii, Phialophora verrucosa, and Rhinocladiella aquaspersa.
What is the best treatment?
There is no proven treatment of choice for this disease. Most commonly, antifungal treatment with or without adjunctive surgical or local heat therapy is employed.
Itraconazole, terbinafine, or a combination of these antifungal agents appears to be the best current therapy of this disease. Itraconazole may be used at doses of 200-400 mg daily or 400 mg daily for 1 week each month (pulse dosing). Terbinafine is typically used at a dose of 500 mg daily, although 500 mg twice daily has also been used. Posaconazole has also been used successfully in a few patients. Treatment is typically provided for 6-12 months.
Surgical removal of smaller lesions has been successful. Prolonged (2-12 month) local heat therapy (42-46°C) has been used. Adjunctive cryotherapy is commonly used in combination with antifungal therapy.
How do patients contract this infection, and how do I prevent spread to other patients?
The causative agents are found in the soil and cause disease after they are inoculated into the skin and subcutaneous tissues.
It is most commonly seen in tropical and subtropical climates, although they can be found worldwide. Its highest incidence is in areas with high annual rainfall.
It is endemic in Madagascar, Brazil, Mexico, Venezuela, and Costa Rica. Highest prevalence appears to be in Madagascar.
It is most commonly seen in men, 40-69 years of age, who work outdoors (e.g., farmers and woodcutters) and who don't wear footwear.
Infection control issues
Chromoblastomycosis is not transmitted between humans or from animals to humans.
No vaccination is available.
What host factors protect against this infection?
The immune response to this disease is not well understood. Disease appears to be secondary to an ineffective cell-mediated immune response.
Risk for chromoblastomycosis appears to be associated with that of minor skin trauma and inoculation of the causative fungus from the environment. No associations between this disease and specific immunocompromised diseases or treatments have been made.
Host response on histopathology is that of chronic suppuration and granulomatous response. Milder disease has been associated with higher gamma-interferon and lower interleukin-10 levels, when compared to levels seen in patients with severe disease.
What are the clinical manifestations of infection with these organisms?
Chromoblastomycosis is a chronic infection localized to the skin and subcutaneous tissues that involves primarily the lower extremities. Infection begins with papules that enlarge to form plaques that become scaly. The lesions slowly and progressively enlarge over months to years and become warty or cauliflower-like in appearance.
What common complications are associated with this disease?
Disfigurement and secondary bacterial infections are the most common complications.
Development of squamous cell carcinoma has been described in long-standing lesions.
How should I identify these organisms?
Chromoblastomycosis produces pathognomonic structures called sclerotic bodies or muriform cells (also called Medlar or copper penny bodies). These are 4-12 µm, darkly-pigmented, thick-walled fungal cells that have transverse crosswalls.
Diagnosis is made by identifying the muriform cells recovered from typical lesions. These can be seen on superficial scrapings treated with potassium hydroxide (KOH) or on biopsy samples of lesions. The muriform cells are visible on standard hematoxylin and eosin stains of biopsy material.
Culture diagnosis can be performed from scrapings or biopsy material. Standard mycologic media can be used to recover the dark molds that cause the disease.
Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) diagnostics have been developed but are not widely available outside of the endemic areas.
How do these organisms cause disease?
Specific virulence factors have not been described for the organisms isolated from cases of chromoblastomycosis. However, these fungi produce melanin, which is a virulence factor for many molds.
