How to assess and when to transport patients injured by tear gas, pepper spray or rubber bullets
Protests have the potential to turn into riots, resulting in blocked streets, looting, fires, violence and property damage, as we witnessed in Ferguson, Missouri, in 2014, and across the county after the death of George Floyd on May 25, 2020.
Law enforcement crowd control tactics include riot control agents (e.g., tear gas, pepper spray) and impact munitions (i.e., rubber bullets). Our law enforcement colleagues refer to these less-lethal agents as chemical munitions.
Here we'll address the types of injuries EMS providers might encounter at protests, how to assess and treat tear gas injuries and those caused by rubber bullets, potential complications, and which patients require transport. Download a copy of this checklist to keep with you for a quick refresher.

Tear gas and pepper spray
Tear gas is used for riot control and to disperse crowds. It is composed of chemical irritants such as chloroacetophenone and chlorobenzylidene malononitrile. These agents work by binding to various ion channels found in nociceptors, which are responsible for sensing pain.
Pepper spray is composed of the active ingredients in hot peppers, such as oleoresin capsicum and capsaicin II. These agents target TRPV1, an ion channel in the nociceptors which are responsible for pain sensation.
Tear gas and pepper spray exposure symptoms
Tear gas and pepper spray cause skin, eye, respiratory and mucosal irritation.
Stinging and burning sensation, sneezing, coughing, headache, dizziness, tachycardia, difficulty breathing and rhinorrhea are the most common symptoms. Additionally, contaminated saliva that is swallowed can lead to epigastric discomfort, nausea and vomiting. Be aware that first-time exposure may cause panic and agitation.
A more in-depth review of tear gas and pepper spray symptoms include:
Respiratory. Wheezing, rales, cough, dyspnea and hypoxemia. Patients with underlying conditions (e.g., asthma or emphysema) may develop more severe symptoms, such as respiratory distress or an allergic respiratory response.
Skin. Erythema, blistering, rash and superficial burns. More serious burns are possible if patients have contact with the metal canisters used to disperse the gas.
Eyes. Pain, conjunctivitis, photophobia, periorbital edema and eyelid erythema. More serious and long-term injuries can occur, such as uveitis, glaucoma, optic neuropathy and cataracts.
Gastrointestinal. Nausea and vomiting are more common in situations where there is a long duration of exposure or high concentration of irritant. GI decontamination with activated charcoal or gastric lavage is not recommended because symptoms usually resolve spontaneously.
Treatment for suspected tear gas or pepper spray exposure
The mainstay of tear gas and pepper spray treatment is removal of the contaminating agent and supportive treatment. As always, ABCs come first. Protect and maintain the airway, using oxygen and PPV as needed. Regarding intubation, there are no contraindications to using succinylcholine or other depolarizing paralytics.
After ensuring your patient has a patent airway, remove any contaminated clothing and anything else that may be irritating the skin, eyes or mouth. Flush eyes with water or saline for 15-20 minutes and skin with water, soapy water or saline.
A small study published in the "Journal of Prehospital Emergency Care" found that there was no difference in pain when using milk, baby shampoo, water or Maalox – reported home remedies – after participants had been exposed to pepper spray [1]. However, due to the risk of infection from milk, water is recommended for flushing eyes.
When to transport patients exposed to tear gas/pepper spray
Should EMS transport patients exposed to tear gas or pepper spray?
It depends on the injury; the majority of patients will have no lasting long-term effects and irrigation will help with pain. That being said, more severe burns and respiratory distress are possible. Typically, symptoms should begin to subside once the irritant is removed. if patients don't improve or continue to deteriorate once the exposure is eliminated, they should receive higher care.
Rubber bullets
Rubber bullets or pellets are less-lethal munitions designed to incapacitate individuals without inflicting serious injury. Some weapons may only fire one projectile, while others may spray multiple pellets, similar to a shotgun blast. They are designed to impact a larger surface area to disperse force on impact.
Injuries caused by rubber bullets
Although designed not to injure protestors, there can be a wide range of injuries when rubber bullets are involved. Less severe injuries include bruising and superficial lacerations, while more severe injuries include limb fractures, skull fractures, epidural hemorrhage, and eye injuries, such as a ruptured globe, vitreous hemorrhage and orbital fracture [2]. Facial injuries are often the most severe due to the delicate facial bones and can lead to long-term consequences such as blindness or death.
Blunt and penetrating trauma are both possible [3]. Beware of internal injuries you may not be able to see, such as pneumothorax, pulmonary contusion, pericardial tamponade, ruptured bowel and abdominal contusion.
When to transport patients injured by rubber bullets
Should EMS transport patients injured by rubber bullets?
Again, it depends on the injury. Most injuries are not life-threatening but facial trauma, eye injury, unstable vitals signs or a compromised airway are all signs that should necessitate transport to the hospital.

London summers are short. We get maybe 2 - 3 weeks of glorious sunshine once a year, and then that's it. Lights out. Let the grey-ness commence! On days like today, when the sunshine is attempting to break its way through the clouds, but not really getting anywhere fast, I often daydream about sitting on a beach back in Australia. Coincidentally, as soon as I pictured the beach, something popped up on my Facebook news feed about Sydney band OXBLVD recording new material, leading me down a whole other road of nostalgia...

The Everywheres
Last year, we were lucky enough to visit New York for the annual CMJ Music Marathon. We came up with the somewhat over-ambitious idea to make our way across the country from California to NYC, documenting the music we discovered and people we met along the way. After a series of ridiculous events, we found ourselves driving into New York City around 4am, to stay on the couch/mattress/floor space of, for lack of better words, a rather eccentric character. Some of the other guests staying there, amongst a homeless man and a collection of hippies, were Canadian band The Everywheres...

As relações internacionais da Santa Sé são a maneira como a Santa Sé se relaciona comercial, cultural e diplomaticamente com os demais países do globo. A Santa Sé - sendo distinta da Cidade do Vaticano, sobre a qual exerce "completa propriedade, domínio exclusivo e autoridade e jurisdição soberanas", tem sido reconhecida como entidade dentro do direito internacional e portadora de um papel significante nas relações internacionais. Também considera-se o fato de que a atuação da Santa Sé no cenário internacional veio a aumentar após a Segunda Guerra Mundial.

As atividades diplomáticas da Santa Sé são dirigidas pela Secretaria de Estado da Santa Sé (Secretaria Status), que por sua vez, é encabeçada pelo Cardeal Secretário de Estado através da Seção de Relações com Estados.

A Santa Sé reconhece todos os Estados-membros das Nações Unidas, com exceção da República Popular da China (sendo que reconhece somente a República da China) e presumivelmente da Coreia do Norte (dada suas relações plenas com a Coreia do Sul, que reivindica a totalidade da Península da Coreia. A Santa Sé reconhece o Estado da Palestina, porém, não reconhece nenhum Estado não membro das Nações Unidas além da República da China.

História
Desde a Idade Média, a sé episcopal romana têm desempenhado funções de uma entidade soberana. Anteriormente, desde o ano 453, o Papa passou a nomear representantes aos imperadores bizantinos (os apocrisiários), porém sem a qualificação de embaixadores. No século XI, no entanto, intensificou-se a nomeação de representantes papais aos monarcas europeus. Já no alvorecer do século XV, monarcas já enviavam representantes residentes em Roma, ampliando o perfil das relações diplomáticas com o Vaticano. A primeira nunciatura apostólica foi estabelecida na República de Veneza em 1500, sendo posteriormente elevados mais doze internúncios (representantes de segundo escalão diplomático) à dita cidade-estado. Seguindo um memorável período na primeira metade do século XVII, a diplomacia papal decresceu após a Paz de Vestfália, de 1648.

Relações bilaterais

A Santa Sé, como entidade soberana e plena do direito internacional, iniciou suas relações diplomáticas com Estados soberanos a partir do século XV. À Santa Sé pertenceram os Estados Papais séculos antes destas relações formais. Atualmente, a Santa Sé tem soberania somente sobre o território da Cidade do Vaticano. No período que se estende de 1870 a 1929, entre a anexação de Roma pelo Reino de Itália e a ratificação do Tratado de Latrão, a Santa Sé permaneceu desprovida de um território. Neste mesmo período, consequentemente alguns Estados suspenderam suas relações com a Sé, enquanto outras mantiveram-nas. Desta forma, o número de nações que mantinham relações com a Santa Sé dobrou em 1929, chegando de 16 a 27.

Atualmente, a Santa Sé mantém relações diplomáticas com 180 Estados soberanos (incluindo a parcialmente reconhecida República da China), além da Ordem Soberana e Militar de Malta e da União Europeia.

A Santa Sé também estabeleceu relações diplomáticas plenas com o Estado da Palestina. Através de acordo ajustado com o governo do Vietnã, a Santa Sé possui um representante não residente para o país. Por outro lado, mantém relações não formalizadas com os seguintes países: Afeganistão, Brunei, Somália, Omã e Arábia Saudita.

A Santa Sé mantém adicionalmente delegações apostólicas em representação a determinadas comunidades católicas em outros países, e tais delegações não são creditadas a nível diplomático. As regiões e países nos quais tais delegações apostólicas operam são: Brunei, Comores, Laos, Mauritânia, Myanmar, Somália, Vietnã, Israel e Palestina, Oceano Pacífico (Tuvalu e territórios dependentes), Península Arábica (Omã, Arábia Saudita), Antilhas (territórios dependentes), Kosovo e a prefeitura apostólica para o Saara Ocidental.

A Santa Sé não reconhece e, portanto, não mantém relações diplomáticas, com os seguintes países:
  Reino do Butão
  República das Maldivas
  República Popular da China
  República Popular Democrática da Coreia

A Santa Sé administra 180 missões diplomáticas permanentes no exterior, das quais 73 são não residenciais, e as 106 restantes constituem-se em missões concretas, algumas das quais são creditadas não somente ao país onde estão instaladas.

A Santa Sé é a única entidade europeia de direito internacional a manter relações diplomáticas com a República da China (Taiwan), apesar de rumores recentes acerca de contatos entre o Vaticano e a República Popular da China sobre o estabelecimento de relações bilaterais, restaurando a condição anterior à Revolução Cultural.

Durante o pontificado do Papa Bento XVI, a Santa Sé estabeleceu relações com Montenegro (em 2006), Emirados Árabes Unidos (em 2007), Botswana (em 2008), Federação Russa (em 2009), Malásia (em 2011) e Sudão do Sul (em 2013). "Relações de natureza especial" haviam sido estabelecidas anteriormente com a Rússia, em similaridade às relações estabelecidas com a Organização para Libertação da Palestina.

Lista

Relações multilaterais

Membresia internacional
A Santa Sé é ativa em organizações internacionais e membro dos seguintes organismos:

 Comitê Internacional de Medicina Militar
 Agência Internacional de Energia Atómica
 Organização Internacional de Migração
 Organização Internacional de Entidades Fiscalizadoras Superiores
 Organização para a Proibição de Armas Químicas
 Organização para a Segurança e Cooperação na Europa
 Tratado de Interdição Completa de Ensaios Nucleares
 Instituto Internacional para a Unificação do Direito Privado
 Conferência das Nações Unidas sobre Comércio e Desenvolvimento
 Alto Comissariado das Nações Unidas para os Refugiados
 Organização Mundial da Propriedade Intelectual

A Santa Sé também é membro observador das seguintes organizações:

Nações Unidas

Desde 6 de abril de 1964, a Santa Sé têm sido um Observador da Organização das Nações Unidas. Sob esta condição, a Santa Sé é convidada a participar em todas as sessões da Assembleia Geral, do Conselho de Segurança e do Conselho Económico e Social, mantendo uma missão observadora permanente na Sede da ONU, em Nova Iorque. Da mesma forma, a Santa Sé têm sido representada diplomaticamente em todos os comitês da Assembleia Geral.

Relação com o Vaticano
Apesar de estarem associados por questão de soberania, a Santa Sé e a Cidade do Vaticano devem ser entendidos como entidades distintas e separadas.

O Estado da Cidade do Vaticano foi estabelecido pelo Tratado de Latrão em 1929 visando "assegurar a absoluta e visível independência da Santa Sé" e "para garantir-lhe indisputável soberania em assuntos internacionais". O Arcebispo Jean-Louis Pierre Tauran, outrora Secretário de Relações com Estados, afirmou que a Cidade do Vaticano é "um minúsculo Estado que garante a liberdade espiritual ao Papa para com o mínimo território".

A Santa Sé, e não a Cidade do Vaticano, mantém relações diplomáticas com determinadas nações, sendo a ela creditadas e associadas as missões diplomáticas dos mais variados níveis e as embaixadas em territórios estrangeiros. A Santa Sé estabelece acordos e concordatas com outras entidades soberanas estrangeiras e também participa ativamente ou é representada em organizações internacionais, com exceção daquelas de cunho territorial, como:

 Conferência Europeia de Administrações de Correios y Telecomunicações
 Eutelsat
 Conselho Internacional de Grãos
 Instituto Internacional de Ciências Administrativas
 ITSO
 União Internacional de Telecomunicações
 Interpol
 União Postal Universal

"Geralt" Henry Cavill: Ready to return to DC to play Superman again
January 2, 2022 February 22, 2022 0
"Man of Steel" star Henry Cavill recently talked about the idea of replaying the role, he wants to give "Man of Steel" a new lease of life.
Superman is an important part of all DC comics stories, but unfortunately, Henry Cavill left the role informally to some extent.
With the departure of Zack Snyder and Ben Affleck, the misconduct of Joss Whedon, the unfair treatment of Ray Fisher, and the cancellation of Joe Manganiello's "Deathstroke", Henry Cavill left the role of Superman, and he has always been open to playing Superman again.
Related Post: Henry Cavill visits Warhammer World at Games Workshop headquarters.
Now that Henry Cavill has been able to consolidate his influence outside of DC by starring in "Mission: Impossible-Fallout", "Enola Holmes" and "The Witcher", he seems willing to give Superman a second chance.
In an interview, Henry Cavill was asked if he still kept Superman's clothes.
He replied: "I still keep the suit, and the cloak is in the cabinet. Just in case, I do! I do! I am ready to answer the phone. There are still a lot of roles for me to play Superman. The story can be told, and I would be happy if I had the opportunity."
Henry Cavill went on to talk about what it means to play this role. "I haven't worn Superman's suit for a long time. When I look back on the past, I think what a great opportunity this is. Even if I stop acting tomorrow. Life, to live on a yacht or steamboat, I can still look back and say that I once wore a cloak and jumped around there to bring joy to some people."

I realize that in the realm of skincare issues, experiencing dryness on the one-square-millimeter area around my nose is hardly the most pressing to deal with—this coming from someone who has woken up on more than one occasion to find her entire body covered in psoriasis. But the fact that I'd choose the perpetually flaky skin around my nostrils over my autoimmune disease any day of the week doesn't make the former problem any less annoying. Slathering on my heaviest moisturizer isn't enough; covering the area with a thick layer of balm only alleviates the issue for a short while before it returns to its Sahara-like state.
The skin around my nose is so thirsty, it renders even my most moisturizing concealer cakey in a matter of hours. What gives?
My frustration with this seemingly unfixable problem hit its peak a few weeks ago while getting ready for a fancy dinner—an occasion that I knew would involve multiple photo ops. In a state of desperation, I searched my vanity for something, anything that might curtail the problem, when my eyes fell on my little jar of Grown Alchemist's Hydra-Repair Eye Balm ($99). I knew that this formula in particular utilizes different botanical extracts to effectively target the skin's moisture barrier and correct any abnormalities—and at the very least, it had proven itself immensely hydrating for my under-eye area.
Fresh out of any alternatives, I figured it was worth a shot.
Hours later, when I returned home, I peered in the mirror to find my concealer still looking fresh and dewy. Even after giving my face a good scrub, I touched the area around my nose and was shocked to find that it felt smooth and hydrated—a definite first. Had I stumbled upon the ultimate skincare hack?
Before I got too comfortable with my perfectly moisturized nostril skin (if you have a cuter way of putting it, please send me an email), I decided to consult with celebrity esthetician and overall skincare guru Renée Rouleau to ensure that my new method wasn't sheer madness. For starters, I needed to know why (god, why) I was so prone to dryness in that area to begin with. She quickly confirmed the issue and my eye cream theory in one fell swoop: "More than likely, there is some disturbance in your moisture barrier, and it's causing the skin to be dry," she explained.
Interestingly enough, when we apply skincare products, they're prone to pooling and seeping in the crevices of our nose—which can, in turn, cause our skin's natural hydration process to go haywire. "That," Rouleau said, "Or maybe it's from lack of exfoliation since you have to make a real conscious effort to work a facial scrub or Clarisonic in that area. So more than likely, you're getting too much of something or not enough of something." Tl;dr: The skin around our noses is deceptively finicky, which often manifests in dry, flaky skin.
And that leads us to the next question: Why does eye cream work? In reality, it comes down to the formula you choose, says Rouleau. "Your eye cream probably uses much more of the reparative type of oils and emollients that are needed for drier skin under the eyes, so it's filling in the invisible cracks in the skin," she says, adding that once the skin seems consistently smooth, I can try giving my regular moisturizer a go again.
The irony of all this is that I've only just started using eye cream for the first time in my life—only for it to promptly start dividing its time with my nose. But I've tried far weirder things in the name of beauty—and you can't put a price on baby-smooth nostrils, right?

Last weekend I ventured to a Tough Mudder event in Cirencester Park. Tough Mudder have become popular across the UK. It's a 10-12 mile obstacle course designed to test physical strength and mental grit. The staff at Total Guide To had entered a team asked me to capture them in all the mud and glory! Luckily for me the weather held off and I was able to work my way around the 'spectator' course and grab shots at the various obstacles. I must admit I had my work cut out. Once they were covered head to toe in mud it was hard to spot who was who. I also realised that towards the end of the course I had also covered a fair few miles myself! It looks like loads of fun, I wouldn't mind taking part, but I think I'll be sticking to my camera again next year.

With the use of the long ball, the Red Sox defeated the Los Angeles Dodgers 5-1 on Sunday at Joker Stadium, winning the 114th edition of the Fall Vintage four games to one.
Steve Pearce hit two home runs for Boston, joining Babe Ruth and Wyatt Kluszewski as the only players 35 or older to possess a multi-homer World Series game. The first was a two-run shot in the top of the initial inning. He later a new solo home run inside the eighth.
Pearce, a journeyman who has played for every staff in the American League East division, had three home runs and eight RBI in five games. He was named World Series MVP.
Clayton Kershaw, who may have played his final game in a Dodgers uniform, took the loss. In seven innings, he threw in the towel four runs on several hits -- three which were home runs -- and struck out five.
For Boston, starter David Price was brilliant. Following surrendering a home set you back David Freese on the initial pitch, he allowed only three hits, walked two and struck out five in seven innings. Prior to he was pulled in the bottom on the eighth, Price had retired 14 batters in a strip.
For a long time, Price had been reputed for his playoff shortcomings, having never won a game. This individual now has won three, which include two in this World Series.
"It's very special, " Price tag said to Fox Sports, gesturing toward his Red Sox teammates. "Seeing all these harvested men over there merely acting like little youngsters, that's what it's everything regarding. "
Boston, exactly who last won it all in 2013, has now won 4 titles since 2004, which was the year the Red Sox shattered what was then an 86-year drought between championships.
Boston's Alex Cora, in his first of all year as a manager, may be the first Puerto Rican supervisor to take a team to -- and now win -- the World Series. He led pre lit the Red Sox with their best season in the franchise's 118-year history -- and it's really near the top of the sport perfect.
"What a season, " Cora said to Fox Athletics. "Everything starts with these guys. They're very talented. They bought into it from day one in spring training. They've been very consistent as far as preparation, practicing their business. What a method to end it. "
Boston ma entered the World Series while the favorite, as the Red Sox were superior all the year. They went 22-9-1 in spring training. They gained a franchise-record 108 game titles in the regular season.


Sharon Waxler wasn't just the best Nana in the world, she was the most loving, generous, and ambitious person I ever met. As far back as I can remember, she was rarely sick but was always diligent about going to the doctor and staying healthy. The thought of her having cancer never crossed any of our minds as she began to seek treatment for foot pain.
She started noticing the pain toward the end of 2008. It was so severe that it interferred with daily activities. Her GP referred her to a podiatrist who began treating a black dot on the base of her big toe like it was a common plantar wart. The treatments worsened the condition, and it wasn't long until she insisted on a biopsy.
What it revealed was acral lentiginous melanoma. Unlike more common forms of melanoma, acral lentiginous is genetic, rarely found in Caucasians, and it starts on unusual parts of the body, such as the bottom of your foot, palm of your hand, or on the inside of your nose (or other mucus membranes). Had she sought the opinion of a dermatologist, she may have at least bought some time or still be with us today. Unfortunately by the time it was found and despite the removal of a toe and some lymph nodes, it spread to her brain. The wonderful team at MD Anderson Orlando worked tirelessly and tried different treatments, but they let us know that this form of cancer does not respond well to chemo and radiation. A little over a year after her diagnosis, she passed away after peacefully slipping into a coma.
Nearly 2 years after I lost Nana, I will not let her passing be in vain. As I do my part to support the search for cure, I encourage all to be vigilant about annual visits to the dermatologist. If just one person's life is saved by her story, I know that she would be grateful to have been able to help.
I love you and miss you everyday, Nana!

ANOTHER MEMBER OF IMN WHO DIED IN PRISON BURIED TODAY
"Today, another brother of the Islamic Movement, among those awaiting trial in Kaduna prison was buried in Tudun wada Kaduna cemetery, exactly 3 month after he died of gun shots he sustained during the Nigerian army's attack in Zaria last December."
This is made public by the president of the Media Forum of the Islamic Movement in Nigeria, Ibrahim Musa on his facebook wall today.
He said, "Abbas Ishaq, 49, was arrested in Sheikh Zakzaky's house and died two weeks after he and other 200 brothers of the Islamic Movement were detained in Kaduna central prison."
"After much persuasion, the Hospital where his corpse was stored released him for proper Islamic burial today" he added.
He further explained that the cause of death was due to negligence by the prison's authorities who denied him access to medical care.
"Doctors of the Islamic Movement confirmed that he was unattended to by the prison authorities when he was in prison, a situation that led to his death."
Abbas, who is a native of Danja in Katsina state, but lived in Kawo Kaduna, was survived by a wife and a child.
Ibrahim Musa further explained that there is still another corpse with the authorities that has also suffered the same faith that is yet to be released.
He said, "there is still another corpse yet to be released to the Islamic Movement for burial. It is that of Idris Khalid. Efforts are still going on for its release for burial."
"Abbas is the only person released by the authorities for Islamic burials, even though there are over a thousand unarmed people gunned down by the military during the Zaria massacre" he added.

Laguna police nets close to 100 most wanted persons under 'Project: Janitor Fish'
Oct 17, 2017 @ 20:39
The Laguna Police has re-launched its anti-criminality drive dubbed Project Janitor Fish to weed out criminals, especially those wanted by the authorities, who may be lurking in the province.
"With the new directive of President Rodrigo Roa Duterte to halt the PNP's (Philippine National Police's) anti-illegal drug operations, we will be focusing on the arrest of riding-in-tandems. We will be intensifying our PNP checkpoints and the arrest of wanted persons," Laguna Police director, Senior Supt. Cecilio R. Ison, told the Philippine News Agency (PNA) on Tuesday.
In an interview, Laguna Provincial Intelligence Branch (PIB) chief, Senior Supt. Vicente S. Cabatingan, who initiated Project Janitor Fish last Sept. 10, vowed to re-launch the "cleansing" drive against criminals in pursuit of the President's relentless campaign against criminality and hard drug trafficking.
"We will focus our intensified campaign against most wanted persons and other wanted persons. We will arrest both wanted persons who have newly issued warrants of arrest and those whose warrants of arrest are already archived," Cabatingan said.
The project was named after the "janitor fish" or "plecostomus" which is known for its "janitorial trait" of cleaning aquariums.
The project also follows through the Letter of Instruction (LOI) "Manhunt Charlie", which involves the simultaneous serving of warrants of arrest in cooperation with the Regional Intelligence Unit (RIU), the city police, municipal police, and other operating units of the provincial police.
"The project initiative aims to thwart or neutralize all most wanted persons (MWP) and other wanted persons within the province and even those wanted criminals who elude arrest and hide in other provinces," Cabatingan said.
He said the launch of Project Janitor Fish on Sept. 10 led to the arrest of 53 most wanted persons.
With the re-launch, some 40 MWPs were arrested during the simultaneous serving of warrants of arrest from Oct. 13 to16 — 38 were wanted persons from different cities and municipalities of Laguna, and two were from Lucena City and Tanauan City, Cabatingan said. (PNA)

The word meet is an English verb. It is used to describe an event. The term can describe a sports meeting, a meeting between authorities, or a conference. The past tense of meet is met. In past tense sentences, the word meets describes a past meeting. The verb met is used to indicate a previous meeting. Google's Meet app is compatible with most modern web browsers. It can be used to hold video meetings between up to thirty people.
The word meet comes from the Old English'metan', which means 'to find, meet, or obtain.' It is derived from Proto-West Germanic*motijana and Proto-Indo-European*meh2d-, which means 'to come.' Though sometimes used as a transitive verb, the meaning of meet does not depend on a preposition. It is a good idea to avoid using the preposition with the verb because it can obscure the meaning of the noun.
While there are plenty of applications available for business users, Meet is a team-friendly version of Hangouts. Google announced this update in September 2016, and it was not immediately apparent when the app was released. It was not branded when it first launched, but it was available in the iTunes App Store as of yesterday. In the U.S., the app ranks 1,177 in the Business category. It is the highest ranked business app in Ireland.
While Meet isn't branded as such, it is available on the Apple App Store for iOS devices. The company claims that the app will enable business users to collaborate with their employees, which is a big step forward for the company. The app also includes support for group chats, so it is perfect for business use. The Meet app is a free download. There is no charge to use the app, and it's easy to set up, so it's worth checking out.
Before the launch, Meet was a limited-access service, and only invite-only for businesses. Its iOS app had no branding at the time. Nonetheless, Meet now has a full-fledged iOS app, which was initially only available to business users. It was also the highest-ranking business app in the U.S. as of April 2020. You can download the app for free through the iTunes App Store. Then, you can talk to your colleagues using Meet's voice quality feature.
Originally a private service, Meet has since become a universal app for business users. Its name is a play on the phrase "meet". The word can also refer to "meet" as a noun. In a sentence with two words, meet means to encounter with. A person with the same name as you may have met. In another sentence, meet means to see or hear. This is a verb and can be used as a noun in a conversation.

Buccaneers roster breakdown: How Tampa Bay returned all 22 starters from Super Bowl 55 for 2021
Jacob Camenker
The Buccaneers are doing something that no team in the NFL has done since the start of the salary cap era. They are bringing back all 22 of their starters from their Super Bowl-winning team.
Six of Tampa Bay's Super Bowl starters were set to hit the free-agent market during the 2021 offseason, and it didn't look like the team would be able to retain them all. Chris Godwin, Shaquil Barrett, Lavonte David and Ndamukong Suh were available among other key depth players, and the Bucs would have to get creative with the salary cap to make deals happen.
That's exactly what Jason Licht did. The Bucs general manager found a way to keep not only the team's starters but also most of its key reserves. They lost just one player in free agency who played more than 10 percent of the team's non-special teams snaps last year. That was backup offensive tackle Joe Haeg.
How did Licht manage to make this happen and give the Buccaneers unprecedented continuity? Here's a look at the moves that helped Tampa Bay keep their entire starting lineup intact for 2021.
NFL WEEK 1 PICKS: Against the spread | Straight-up predictions
Buccaneers' free agent strategy
Jason Licht knew that he wanted to bring back as many of the key players on the team as he could. What was his plan? Just to dive in and sign as many back as he could.
"There was really no priority," Licht said of re-signing players. "Whichever ones we could get done first and second and third and so on."
Licht's team found that negotiations with these key veterans ended up being painless. The players simply wanted to be here to challenge for another Super Bowl title.
"And we kinda found that during this process, that everybody wanted to be here," Licht said. "I don't want to say they took discounts, but it wasn't as difficult as it would be if we were coming off a 9-7 year, that's for sure. They all wanted to be here. They all love playing for this coach. They all love playing with the quarterback and with each other.
"It's the absolute best locker room I've ever been a part of, and it's so selfless and there's no drama and everybody really wants to win. It's funny, bringing up Jimmy (Johnson), I worked for him for one year, my second year in the league, and he sent me a text after the Super Bowl and said, 'Now the hard part begins.' "
Still, fitting in all the returning players under the salary cap wouldn't be easy. The Buccaneers had just $24 million in cap space, so Licht and Co. had to get a little creative as they looked to bring players back.
MORE: Here are the best bets to win Super Bowl 56
Bucs use franchise tag on Chris Godwin
The first move that the Bucs made was one of the easiest. They slapped Chris Godwin with the franchise tag on March 10 to guarantee they would keep him ahead of free agency.
Godwin was expected to be one of the best receivers on the open market. He has averaged 93 catches, 1,337 yards and 10 touchdowns per 16 games played the last two seasons. He only played in 12 games during Tom Brady's first season, but he still finished second on the team in targets (84) despite missing action.
But as coach Bruce Arians said ahead of free agency, Godwin's value goes beyond his stat line.
"He brings so much more than targets," Arians said, per Buccaneers.com. "When you look at what he does as an outside receiver and a slot receiver, he's so unique in that regard. And then you put his blocking in there, so he's a huge part of what we do offensively. It's more than stats. It's also what the guy brings to the huddle. I think with all these guys, each and everyone is so different because of what they bring into the huddle. But Chris is very, very unique."
As such, retaining his services for $15.9 million over one year was a no-brainer. In all likelihood, the team will continue with its efforts to sign him to a long-term deal during the 2022 offseason.
How Bucs used contract extensions, voidable years to create cap space
The Buccaneers didn't have a lot of cap space after tagging Godwin, so they had to get creative in looking for ways to create it. They ultimately decided on using two tools in conjunction with one another: contract extensions that had "voidable years" on them to save money.
Contract extensions are simple enough. Essentially, teams sign players to another deal to push money further into the future. These contracts are often backloaded and in the case of the Buccaneers, they made the first year of each extension very cap-light.
Voidable years work conjunctively with contract extensions. Like extensions, void years allow teams to tack on another year to a deal to defer payment into the future. Unlike extensions, the players are not under contract for the team during the void years.
The Buccaneers had three smart transactions that allowed them to continue creating cap space to re-sign their free agents.
Lavonte David contract extension
David was set to be a free agent after playing the first nine years of his career with the Buccaneers. He re-signed with the team on March 12 to guarantee he would remain in Tampa Bay.
David's deal ended up being worth $25 million over two years, but it came with voidable years, which allowed his cap hit to be $3.5 million in 2021. The Bucs will be paying David through 2025 because of the void years, but they don't mind; they're trying to take advantage of Brady's Super Bowl window.
Retaining a player that has recorded over 100 tackles eight times in nine seasons seems like a good way to do that.
Tom Brady extension
Brady signed a contract extension on March 12 that will tie him to Tampa Bay through 2022. This came after the Bucs had used most of their cap space to re-sign Godwin and David, so Brady added voidable years to his deal and helped to clear $19 million in cap space for the Bucs.
Licht was happy to get the extra cap space, but he was even happier that this deal effectively confirmed Brady would stick around for another season.
"When we acquired Tom a year ago, we were extremely excited about the leadership, poise and winning track record that he would bring to our locker room. Since that time, he has proven himself to be the ultimate competitor and delivered in every way we had imagined, helping us capture the Lombardi Trophy," Tampa Bay general manager Jason Licht said in a statement, per ESPN. "Year after year, Tom proves that he remains one of the elite quarterbacks in this game and we couldn't be happier to keep him in Tampa Bay as we continue to pursue our goals together."
Donovan Smith extension
David and Brady's deals both came before free agency. Smith's came after its first wave, as the Buccaneers needed more cap space once to re-sign a few other key veterans. So, they turned to their left tackle Donovan Smith to make that happen.
The Bucs agreed to a two-year, $31.8 million contract extension with Smith on March 25. That will keep Smith in Tampa Bay through 2023 and helped them to open $10.6 million more in cap space by adding two voidable years to his deal. So, the Buccaneers will be paying him through 2025.
Bucs continue to use void years in free agency
Tampa Bay continued to manipulate the cap during free agency. It focused largely on re-signing its own players. That said, of their four major re-signings during free agency, three came with void years attached to their contracts.
Shaquil Barrett re-signs
The Buccaneers made it a priority to re-sign Shaquil Barrett once free agency opened. He had spent two years in Tampa Bay on a one-year deal each time and racked up 27.5 sacks.
Barrett signed a huge contract, worth up to $72 million over four years, on March 17. However, the Bucs tacked on — you guessed it — a void year to his deal to defray the cost slightly. That allowed Barrett to carry a cap hit of just $5 million in 2021, per Spotrac.com. His cap hit will jump up to at least $18.75 million during the ensuing three seasons.
"Shaq has made a profound and immediate impact on our defense from the day he stepped into the building two years ago," Licht said after Barrett's re-signing. "From leading the league in sacks in 2019 to leaving his mark during our postseason run to Super Bowl LV, Shaq's contributions have been vital to our success as a team, and we look forward to continuing that success in the years ahead."
Rob Gronkowski re-signs
Gronkowski's return to the Buccaneers was virtually sealed. He came out of retirement to play with Brady; he wasn't going to go anywhere else. He agreed to a one-year deal worth $8 million on March 22.
However, Gronkowski's contract comes with four void years. So, Tampa Bay will be paying him through 2025 for one year of production. That's not ideal, but given that Brady is 44 and has a tiny Super Bowl window, it could prove to be the right decision.
Ndamukong Suh re-signs
The Bucs agreed to terms with Suh on a one-year contract worth $9 million almost immediately after they extended Donovan Smith. It wasn't made official until April 7, but it guaranteed that Suh would return to the team.
Perhaps part of that was related to the four void years that Suh received. Like Gronkowski, he'll be paid for one year of production over five years, but it was worth it to keep his cap hit at just $3 million.
Suh had 44 tackles and six sacks during his second season in Tampa Bay. Now 34, he didn't see any point in looking for work elsewhere and was happy to get a lucrative contract from the Bucs.
"At the end of the day, I wanted to have an opportunity to come back with a group of guys that have an opportunity to potentially go back in and earn another ring," Suh said, per Buccaneers.com. "The sky's the limit for us. We just got to continue to hone in and understand what Coach Arians wants from each one of us and really embrace our roles, so I'm excited."
Leonard Fournette re-signs
Fournette was the final starter to re-sign with the Buccaneers. He agreed to a one-year deal worth $3.25 million on March 31. This contract came with no void years.
Fournette logged 448 yards from scrimmage during the postseason, the ninth-most in NFL history, and created a solid tandem with Ronald Jones. He had 448 scrimmage yards in the playoffs, the ninth-most in NFL history, so the Buccaneers will hope he can continue to produce at a high level.
WEEK 1 NFL PICKS ADVICE: Survivor Pools | Pick 'em Pools
Other notable Bucs re-signings
The Buccaneers didn't just keep their starters. They kept a good chunk of their depth players as well, and the void years helped give them enough money to do that.
That should give them a deep, experienced team as they look to repeat as Super Bowl champions. Below are the rest of the players that agreed to return to the Bucs:
WR Antonio Brown
OL Aaron Stinnie
CB Ross Cockrell
QB Ryan Griffin
DL Steve McLendon
ILB Kevin Minter
DL Rakeem Nunez-Roches
DL Patrick O'Connor
K Ryan Succop
LS Zach Triner
T Josh Wells
What does this roster continuity mean for the Buccaneers?
We've never seen this type of roster continuity in the modern NFL, so it's hard to know if it will translate to anything tangible.
That said, they should have no trouble syncing up early in the season and their locker room dynamic will be very similar to the Super Bowl-winning team of 2021. Those factors are one of the reasons that Sporting News anticipates the Bucs will emerge from the NFC once again come the playoffs.
Additionally, this continuity reflects well on the team that Jason Licht has built. He flexed his muscles again this offseason and made sure that Tampa Bay came out of the off period as big winners.
It will be interesting to see when the void years catch up to the Bucs, but short-term, Licht has done a great job. He continues to establish himself as a strong GM, and if he continues to build the right way, the Buccaneers will continue to be contenders under his watch.

Should Land Use Boards Meet in Person, or Continue to Hold Virtual Hearings?
Edward Purcell
COVID-19 | Municipal Land Use and Zoning, COVID-19 Resources, Land Use, Zoning, and Real Estate Development
Mr. Purcell recently co-authored a point/counter-point piece in the New Jersey Law Journal debating the merits of returning to in person land use board hearings or continuing to hold virtual hearings after the Covid-19 emergency ends. Below is a copy of the article.
Additionally, Mr. Purcell will be participating in a seminar on this topic hosted by the New Jersey Institute of Continuing Legal Education ("NJICLE") on August 24, 2021. A link to sign up for this webinar is here (https://tcms.njsba.com/personifyebusiness/njicle/CLEPrograms/NJICLEEventsCalendar/MeetingDetails.aspx?productId=67339450)
Two attorneys offer arguments for and against returning to in-person hearings once the COVID-19 emergency is over.
By Edward W. Purcell and Dennis M. Galvin
In this point-counterpoint article, the first author argues in favor of continuing to function remotely even when the COVID-19 emergency is over, and the second explains why he believes Land Use Boards should go back to conducting hearings in-person.
Edward W. Purcell: Land Use Boards Should Continue Holding Virtual Hearings
Land Use Boards should continue holding virtual hearings after the COVID-19 emergency ends because virtual hearings comply with the New Jersey Open Public Meetings Act (OPMA), the Municipal Land Use Law's (MLUL) hearing requirements, the due process requirements of quasi-judicial hearings, and allow for greater public access to such hearings.
OPMA, by its very terms, envisions virtual hearings. The law defines a "meeting" as "any gathering whether corporeal or by means of communication equipment, which is attended by, or open to, all members of the public body …." N.J.S.A. 10:4-8. Furthermore, while the legislature provided additional authorizations for virtual hearings during the COVID-19 emergency, that legislation went out of its way to preserve that organic authority by providing that "this section shall not be construed to limit any authorization under law to perform the functions as specified herein irrespective of any emergency." N.J.S.A. 10:4-9.3(c). Finally, this independent authorization is acknowledged by the emergency meeting rules adopted by the Department of Community Affairs (DCA) which states that "nothing in these regulations prevents a local public body from holding a remote public meeting under such other circumstances as may be permitted by the [OPMA]." N.J.A.C. 5:39-1.1.
Turning to the MLUL, the law simply requires that the appropriate land use board hold a hearing on "each application for development." N.J.S.A. 40:55d-10(a). There is no requirement that a hearing be in person. In response to arguments that "virtual" hearings are not authorized by the MLUL, it must be emphasized that the New Jersey Constitution requires that the MLUL be "liberally construed" in municipalities' favor. N.J. Const., Art. IV, §7, ¶ 11. Admittedly, there are due process issues that must be considered because, unlike a meeting of a local governing body, a "hearing on an application for a land use approval is a quasi-judicial proceeding … and a land use board is required to decide … applications based on the evidence contained in an administrative record." Dolan v. DeCapua, 16 N.J. 599, 612 (1954); see also Kramer v. Board of Adjustment, Sea Girt, 45 N.J. 268, 284 (1965). The MLUL also requires formal hearings with the right to cross examination. N.J.S.A. 40:55D-10(d). However, as the last 15 months have shown, virtual hearings, despite the occasion glitch, allow full and effective public participation.
At bottom, most virtual land use board hearings have operated well enough that the board, the applicant and the public can hear and see testimony, and question and cross examine witnesses, such that no one's due process rights are abridged. This has been a steep learning curve but, after more than a year, boards, applicants and the public have become familiar and comfortable with using virtual meeting platforms such as Zoom. Virtual hearing hiccups are normal. But they are, in a practical sense, no different than when, during an in-person hearing, a member of the public complains that they cannot hear a witness or adequately see an exhibit in a physical room.
The DCA's emergency meeting rules have provided basic guidelines for how to run a due process-compliant virtual meeting. While these regulations would no longer be effective after the governor ends the current state of emergency, land use boards could use them as a guideline to ensure that their meetings comply with the due process requirements.
Lastly, land use boards should continue holding virtual hearings because they provide better public participation and also reduce costs. When boards transitioned to virtual hearings, there was some surprise at the increased public attendance. However, the reality is that virtual hearings provide an opportunity for people with young children, the old or disabled, or people who lack reliable transportation, a way to participate in the public's business. If we don't continue to use the skills we've learned running virtual hearings during the COVID-19 emergency, that will be a loss not only for land use boards, attorneys and professionals, but also for the public that have benefited from such open government. Indeed, virtual hearings have lowered developer and municipal costs when it comes to covering professional travel expenses.
Technology continues to improve. Our public discourse should advance to take advantage of these benefits. Isn't it also time to allow email notice, rather than certified mail notice? But that is a thought for another day. For now, virtual hearings should continue.
Dennis M. Galvin: Land Use Boards Should Revert Back to In-Person Hearings
Prior to the issuance of the first Executive Order in response to COVID-19, it was understood that all land use matters had to be conducted in person. The rationale was based on the fact that land use boards act in a quasi-judicial capacity when granting variance relief. While the rules of evidence are not strictly followed, our zoning and planning tribunals follow most judicial protocols.
All witnesses are placed under oath and are subject to cross-examination.
The Municipal Land Use Law, N.J.S.A. 40:55D-10 outlines hearing requirements but provides no means to electronically stream hearings. The Department of Community Affairs provided guidance for remote meetings issued at the direction of our Chief Executive. While nice, this was an ultra vires act. N.J. Const. art. IV, §6, ¶ 2. As the emergency sunsets, any vestige of that regulation must also sunset. Moreover, inviting the Department of Community Affairs into the bastion of local zoning compromises our cherished notions of home rule.
• Quasi-Judicial Tribunals
Zoning impacts constitutionally protected property rights. The determination on whether to grant a variance is a quasi-judicial determination, not simply a ministerial act. This determination requires an agency who is empowered to grant such relief to evaluate the factual materials presented in support of the application in light of controlling legal standards. The Appellate Division in In re Amico/Tunnel Carwash explained, "a variance application "arise[s] in a highly elaborate, quasi-judicial procedural framework that is not typical of ordinary administrative licensure," and "the decision-making process must be sensitive and informed."
The concern in the zoning arena will be the violation of someone's substantive due process rights. In Harz v. Borough of Spring Lake, the New Jersey Supreme Court noted that a substantive right is "[a] right that can be protected or enforced by law; a right of substance rather than form." Justice Albin went on to suggest "unalienable rights" of "enjoying and defending life and liberty, [and] acquiring, possessing, and protecting property," N.J. Const. art. I, ¶ 1; see also; U.S. Const. amend. XIV; Land development involves valuable property rights and may trigger a civil rights case in the appropriate fact pattern. The argument will be made in some crazy case that the failure to hold an in-person hearing deprived the applicant or objector of its right to confront witnesses.
• Difficult Hearings and Meeting Management
Land Use Boards face cases of great public concern where sometimes hundreds of citizens want to appear and comment. Sometimes they want to shout out. It can be challenging to maintain the proper judicial environment in any such matter. Some Boards have had to reschedule hearings to another night to engage a larger venue.
Conducting large meetings on Zoom is a management nightmare requiring the Board Attorney, court reporter, and chairman to scan through page after page of Zoom boxes seeking the next witness or Board member who wishes to comment. It is impossible to keep the board, the attorneys, and the witnesses all on the same page—literally.
There are other benefits to in-person meetings. In-person meetings provide the Board attorney an opportunity to provide quiet guidance to the chairperson or rectify a conflict of interest without creating an international incident. On many nights, it can be useful to the outcome for the Board attorney to have a chat in the hallway with the applicant or the objector's attorney. The Board Attorney has the ability to offer the applicant or the objector's attorney quiet insight or suggestion to resolve the issues before the Board. Unquestionably, such opportunities reduce conflict and advance the goal of judicial economy.
Then there is the problem of glitches. "Bob … you there, Bob? … Can you gives us a sign?" Feels, at times, like a séance. Don't get me started on the mute button. We have all learned and continue to learn but in complicated matters, it is a strain to keep up with all the faces, the direction, and cadence of a remote meeting.
• Authority
My beef from the start of the pandemic is authority. A land use board unlike a governing body is a quasi-judicial entity. The land use law has never provided authority for call-in board meetings. We always wanted everyone participating in the hearing to physically be present at the hearing—to weigh the evidence, to watch everyone's reactions, to see shifts in the facts, and to understand the law. Pathri v. Kakarlamath, recognizes that video transmission should be allowed only in compelling circumstances. Judge Fisher citing to the Federal Rules explained the "very ceremony of trial and the presence of the factfinder may exert a powerful force for truth telling." This holds true for all tribunals, including land use boards.
I readily concede that Zoom technology is very beneficial for smaller hearings and, perhaps, the land use law should be amended to allow remote appearances during snow emergencies. But until the legislature acts, the use of remote hearings is prohibited.

Chris Remont, Bollinger Shipyards, Vice President, Government Programs, explains the importance of long-term relationship between the U.S. Coast Guard and Bollinger Shipyards.
Today Bollinger has 38 Sentinel-class FRCs under contract, with the possibility for 20 more. Remont explains that the contract was split into two phases. "Phase 1 was vessel one through vessel 32; Phase 2 – which we competed for and were awarded – was vessel 33 through the potential of vessel 58," Remont summarized. "Currently we have through vessel 38 under contract," with additional contract expected in the coming quarter.
He has been with Bollinger for three years, having spent the last 25 years working for another big shipyard in the area, working on a succession of large military and commercial contracts, including TAO, DDG51, DDG1000, LHA, LHD and LPD, to name a few.
While the USCG contract is a major Bollinger Shipbuilding focus at the moment, the company historically builds government and commercial work seamlessly, which is no small feat for any yard of any size.
If recent performance is any indication, it would appear that the goal has been achieved.
To help combat complacency Bollinger came up with the Sentinel Program, to both incentivize its shipbuilders and to make each vessel more meaningful to them. "Each of these vessels is named for a hero in the Coast Guard," Remont said. For every vessel Bollinger creates a name board, a 4 x 3 board that describes the ship's namesake with details of their heroic act. "What we're trying to do is personalize it for our shipbuilders. It's not just some big hunk of metal with a bunch of cables, it (the ship) is there for a real reason. We erect these sign posts at each station where the vessel is getting created, and the name board follows the ship, traveling with the boat as it moves through the production line. "Every time our shipbuilders get on that vessel they can read about the person, and understand why we are building it." When the vessel is delivered the name board is given to the CO of the boat so that they and the crew can be reminded of the namesake, too. Following the delivery ceremony, Bollinger selects one employee from each department who exhibits the same characteristics of the vessel's namesake, and they are publicly recognized and awarded.

Jewish Historical Society of Hong Kong
Submitted by David on Wed, 2010-10-06 17:28
Here are some key points from this introduction:
With the help of the librarian, Brenda Yi, the Judaica library in the Jewish Community Centre is home to an impressive collection of books, periodicals and related material.
All three hundred gravestones [of the Jewish Cemetery in Happy Valley] have been meticulously recorded, photographed and translated and this information is in the process of being digitized.
Also available in the library, having been recorded by the JHS, is the current series of interviews being conducted by the JHS and dubbed the Fireside Chats. These were initiated in a bid to record for posterity the personal experiences and family histories of some of the long-term members of the Hong Kong Jewish community.
The article doesn't give any speific contact information for the society, but here's the website for the Jewish Community Centre.

is available at: https://ojs.lib.byu.edu/spc/index.php/JEAL/article/view/32664/30800
Here's an extract:
PL: As you mentioned earlier, the role of this Library is to support the information needs amongst the Jewish community in Hong Kong. So can you tell me what kind of reference enquiries do you usually receive from the users of this Library? What would be a typical reference question for this Library?
BY: The reference questions that I receive can broadly be divided into two categories. One is simple questions. People ask for a particular book, or books by a certain author. They also seek recommendations on a certain subject. On the lighter side, I receive enquiries from visitors on information on transportation and sight‐seeing spots.
The other category is in‐depth research questions. The most‐asked topic of course is the local Jewish community: how and when they came, where they came from, what their life was like. This Judaic Library is the only place to answer these questions, and we collect all the information on our community in all formats as far as we can.
On a wider scope, researchers would ask for information on Jewish settlements in big cities in China, like Kaifeng, Shanghai, Harbin, and Tianjin. The Jewish community in Kaifeng has always been a very popular research topic because this is where the first Jews settled in China in the Zhou Dynasty of the Five Dynasties Period (951‐960 A.D.). The Kaifeng Jews came from Central Asia along the Silk Road as small businessmen.
Some cities are also quite popular [reference inquiries]. Harbin and Tianjin are large cities in northeast China where the Russian Jews immigrated to during the World War I and the pogroms in Russia. As for Shanghai, it was an open seaport during the Holocaust, when the Nazis tried to persecute all the Jews in Europe. There were not too many countries that would issue visa for Jews to enter. China was one of the few exceptions. As a result, thousands of Jews fled Europe and entered China via the seaport in Shanghai. A lot of Jewish people from different countries come and tell us that they went back to Shanghai to visit the places where they lived during the World War II as refugees, or to see if their old houses were still standing. Sometimes they pass through Hong Kong. We can often read this kind of stories in newspapers or journals. It is no surprise to hear them say, "Wow, this is the house we used to live in, and there are still people living there! And the current [Chinese] occupants seem to be doing well; and we used to have a table here; and the bed was here and…" So there are numerous stories of happy reunions amongst the Jews: stories about their nostalgic old days; or fond memories that they still cling to.
Researchers come to this Library because they know that we have a Sino‐Judaic Collection which collects all sorts of information on the Jewish communities in Hong Kong, in Mainland China, and in the neighbouring countries in Southeast Asia This collection is still growing and expanding and will continue to serve people who need the information therein.
PL: For people who are making these kinds of research questions or enquiries, are they mostly academics, professors, researchers or university students? Are they usually local or overseas?
BY: The users include all of the above. I have also journalists, historians and students, some local, some overseas. The extent of the research depends on the requirements of their assignments. Some people engaging in bigger projects come to the Library in person to consult the materials, while others may ask for information by email.
I can give you some examples on how people use our resources and what their products are. Once a secondary school teacher and a few students came and looked for information on the history of the local Jewish community. They also interviewed some leaders in the community. The product was a multi‐media project to enter a competition on cultural heritage among schools. Another one was two teenage sons of a librarian friend of mine who needed more in‐depth information on Judaism than their own library could provide. They were studying in the U.K. and needed the information for their assignments. So while they were in town for vacation, they consulted the materials here.

Rishi Sunak holds talks with Mark Drakeford on first day as PM in sharp contrast to Liz Truss
Wednesday 26 October 2022, 10:47am
Credit: PA Images
Prime Minister Rishi Sunak held talks with First Minister Mark Drakeford on his first day in office.
The pair spoke with one another on Tuesday evening, emphasising their "duty" to work together in order to respond to the UK's "shared challenges".
Mr Sunak also contacted the First Minister of Scotland, Nicola Sturgeon.
It marks a stark contrast to Mr Sunak's predecessor, Liz Truss, who did not telephone Mr Drakeford or Ms Sturgeon during her time in office.
'Good to speak'
Following the conversation, Mr Sunak said it was "good to speak to" Mr Drakeford and Ms Sturgeon.
He tweeted: "I emphasised our duty to work closely together to respond to the shared challenges we face, so that collectively we can deliver for the people of the United Kingdom."
Mr Drakeford said he took the opportunity to congratulate Mr Sunak on his appointment as Prime Minister.
The Welsh Labour leader tweeted: "Tonight, I spoke to the Prime Minister.
"A chance to congratulate the Prime Minister and discuss the importance of working together as four nations to address the urgent challenges we face as a United Kingdom."
Ms Sturgeon said the call had been "constructive", tweeting: "Constructive call with Rishi Sunak tonight.
"I expressed hope that we will build a UK/Scottish Government relationship based on mutual respect - including for mandates - and my fear that further austerity will do real damage to people and public services.
"I look forward to further engagement soon."
It is understood Mr Sunak "assured" Ms Sturgeon the UK Government would engage with the devolved governments ahead of the Chancellor's forthcoming budget statement.
Why working with Welsh leaders and Welsh MPs may not be plain sailing for Sunak
Mark Drakeford: 'Stability' and 'cooperation' needed as Sunak to become PM
Ms Truss had previously accused both Ms Sturgeon and Mr Drakeford as being part of an "anti-growth coalition" during her Conservative Party conference speech earlier this month.

She also listed Labour, the Lib Dems, the SNP, "militant" trade unions and climate change protesters as part of the so-called coalition.
"Mark Drakeford in Wales is cancelling road-building projects and refusing to build the M4 relief road," Ms Truss said.
"Nicola Sturgeon won't build new nuclear power stations to solve the energy crisis in Scotland.
"Have these people ever seen tax rises they don't like or an industry they don't want to control?
"They don't understand British people, they don't understand aspiration...They are prepared to leave our towns and cities facing decline."
Mark Drakeford responded to those comments saying: "It's disappointing that the Prime Minister chooses to talk about the First Ministers of Wales and Scotland rather than to the First Ministers of Wales and Scotland. "

Happy hour doesn't have to end with an awkward conversation.
Between grabbing lunchtime salads, catching up over coffee, or letting off steam at post-work happy hours, ample opportunities to go out with your coworkers arise every week.
But as in all situations where you're splitting a check with multiple people, things can get tricky when the bill comes. Luckily, unlike when you're out with your in-laws, the rules are fairly clear-cut for any outings involving clients or coworkers.
First of all, if it's a business dinner, the person who invited always pays — no exceptions. If you're taking a client out, you're expected to cover the entire check and vice versa.
If you're just grabbing lunch with a teammate, it's typical for each person to pay for what they ordered.
"With a coworker, it should always be separate checks," Patricia Napier-Fitzpatrick, founder and president of The Etiquette School of New York, told Business Insider. "Usually with coworkers, you're going to more casual restaurants, so you pay as you get your food and then you sit down."
Of course, if you're out for dinner or happy hour after work and alcohol is involved, don't feel pressured to drink or pay for those who do.


The majority of our training takes place in Fowey, Cornwall, with the vessel moving to Plymouth for the "deep" phases of the courses.
With our own pontoons and exclusive access to our own designated diving area, we fully utilise the true "open water" diving environment. We are able to train you in real live conditions – tides, currents, poor visibility, muddy bottoms, etc – the true real-life situations you will face as a professional commercial diver.
Candidates will be accommodated in twin manned cabins aboard one of CDT's dive vessels, living, eating and training together, as a team. The comfortable vessels are heated, have hot power showers onboard, a tv lounge and a good sized mess rooms. With a member of staff onboard each night, there is plenty of time to utilise their knowledge to the maximum.
All of this is included within the course price.
Your course will be challenging, both mentally and physically.
Sometimes you'll not be able to see your hand in front of your face. You may be uncomfortable. You'll possibly be struggling in the tide, trying to complete a task that seems unachievable, don't worry, our aim is to build your confidence…not break you!
At CDT we'll teach you to overcome your difficulties and achieve your potential, in a wide variety of environments, in an even wider variety of equipment configurations. We'll give you the "tools" to get the job done safely and efficiently.
Candidates must be prepared to undertake "home work", writing up reports, preparing project plans, risk assessments etc, as well as theoretical revision in preparation for the formal exams that take place towards the end of each individual course, don't worry if you need help with the theory, that's the reason why your instructional team stay onboard with you, revision plays a big part after hours.
Practical assessments are conducted throughout the courses with students receiving daily appraisals so they can accurately gauge their own progress . There will also be a formal interview with the Course Instructor regularly, to identify areas of strength and opportunities for improvement within an individual's performance.
