Q: React useEffect on dom element Let's say I have two "buttons" (they're div elements with an onClick attached). Each one changes a product's price inside a div element.
How can I do something when that div was clicked, inside another component ?
Can I somehow put dom element to the dependencies array of an useEffect ?
for example:
useEffect(() => {
// Do stuff
}, [document.getElementById('div-that-shows-price')])

I tried the above, didn't work. I even tried it with .textContent, innerHTML, ....
I'm guessing I can't use ref because again, they're in different components. Or  can I use a ref defined in a component from another one ?

A: I think you have to use useRef hook:
https://fr.reactjs.org/docs/hooks-reference.html#useref

A: The question is not clear. But from what I understand, why don't you pass price as props to another component? You can put product price in a parent component state and pass it as props (with updatePrice method) in both button components. Or use global state (redux).

A: I am guessing, what you building is basically counter, in one div you want count aka price to be able to incremented and decremented, and in the other div you would like to see the button click result. Since you're using React, this is achieved by useState() and just passing result prop from parent component div which would have the button to the child component div.

What fellow officers said about Lt. Col Prasad Purohit
http://www.ndtv.com/article/india/lt-colonel-purohit-did-the-army-sell-short-an-effective-officer-237995?pfrom=home-lateststories
One by one, 59 witnesses, all from the Army, have told a Court of Inquiry - step one of Army's legal process-- why they believe Lieutenant Colonel Prasad Purohit was just doing his job by fraternising with right-wing extremists.
Lt Col Purohit was arrested in November 2008 for a bomb blast on September 29, 2008 in Malegaon in Maharashtra, a communally sensitive area. He is now in a Taloja Jail, near Navi Mumbai.
When the Anti-Terror Squad (ATS) asked for the officer, on the grounds that he belonged to the Abhinav Bharat, the Army hastily handed over its man, then posted in Madhya Pradesh.
But during the Court of Inquiry, which concluded last month in Mumbai, the portrait that has emerged of the officer is a flattering one.
Officers have testified that Lieutenant Colonel Purohit had, in the course of his duties, infiltrated organisations like the Students Islamic Movement of India or SIMI. This is exactly what he had been ordered to do as a military intelligence man.
Most significantly, during the course of his statements to the Court of Inquiry, Lieutenant Colonel Purohit has placed on record the inputs he provided his seniors on people like Indresh Kumar (an RSS leader) and Sunil Joshi (allegedly a conspirator in the blast on the Samjhauta Express train headed to Pakistan in 2007; Mr Joshi was murdered in December, 2007 )
Mr Purohit told the Court of Inquiry: "I must make a mention here that out of the vast int (intelligence) network development by me with great efforts I came to know about the likely involvement of some Right Wing leaders in anti-national activities. The inputs received on 12 October 2008 were immediately fwd (forwarded) to then CO (commanding Officer) SCLU (Southern Command Liaison Unit) Col Pancpore, OC A Team, Det SCLU, Maj P. Khanzode and to Maj. B. Dey of 1/6 team CCLU (Central Command Liaison Unit) on 12/13 October 2008 itself and a written report in this regard was fwd to Maj Dey on 15 Oct 2008.
Purohit goes on to say: "The report which was termed vague by Maj Dey in his statement is today proving to be right where the name of Indresh Kumar as given out by me for the first time is now figuring in almost all charge sheets relating to right wing blast cases. Name of P. Joshi as mentioned in my report which is S. Joshi (Sunil Joshi who was found dead) otherwise is now reflecting in every charge sheet related to Right Wing blast cases."
Some of the statements of Purohit's superiors in his ACRs (annual confidential reports) made during the court of inquiry suggest an officer who worked with great, if sometimes overzealous, enthusiasm and dedication. In 2005, Purohit in fact was invited to deliver a lecture on intelligence-gathering at the Mumbai headquarters of the same Anti-Terror Squad that later charged him of being one of the accused in the Malegaon blast of 2008.
Some statements accessed by NDTV from the proceedings of the Court of Inquiry:
Col. Hasmuk Patel, then Commanding Officer of Southern Command Liaison Unit wrote in Purohit's ACR in 2007: "The Officer has infiltrated the SIMI and other underground outfits in the region through his capabilities and go getter attitude."
Col. YK Singh in 2008, noted: "He (Purohit) provided valuable int on Tabliq-e-jamal and MFO (Muslim Fundamentalist Organisations)activities which were appreciated by environment. He developed on effective informant network in AOR which led to acquisition of Naxal propoganda and terrorist activities."
Col VS Tomar: "Although I have not known you on a personal level, yet by my interactions with officers of varied seniority with the Intelligence Corps, I came to know that you were a motivated, daring and good field intelligence officer. However some people did mention that at times you had a negative trait of boasting for gaining audience."
Lt. Col. SS Raikar (retd): "I do not believe that Lt. Col. Purohit has been involved in any anti-social or anti-national activity which will bring disrepute to the country in general and the Indian army in particular."
Lt. Col Purohit has said that before handing him over to the Anti-Terror Squad, the army "did not look into my performance as an Intelligence officer..(Or) my reports generated as an inteligence officer."
Asking that he be exonerated ((is this correct)), he has told the army court "This is the organisation that I have loved the most... I am a true and hardcore soldier. ..I am more than confident and convinced that the uniform of the Army which I wear with so much pride and the organisation which I serve with honour shall never ever get tarnished by my behaviour and actions...However, now the onus to give me justice and to recover me out of this unfortunate situation definitely lies on the organisation."

The Purohit case: a maze of confusion, conspiracy, connivance
Lt. Col Prasad Purohit, the first ever serving military officer to have been accused of being involved in a terror case (Malegaon blast, 2008), is battling on two fronts to clear his name. An NIA case is pending against him and simultaneously an Army Court of Inquiry has been on against him since 2009.
The Army Court of Inquiry concluded at the end of May. According to testimonies available with me and some other journalists, all 55 witnesses, except one, cross-examined by Purohit said they do not believe that Lt. Col Purohit is involved in any anti-national or terror activities.
Will this make any difference to the NIA case? Which way will the Army Court of Inquiry go?
More importantly, is Purohit guilty or is he innocent?
Did the Army in 2008 jump the gun in handing him over to the Maharashtra ATS even before conducting its own internal enquiry and without looking at Purohit's past record? Did a serving Military Intelligence serving colonel detain and torture Lt. Col Purohit and hand him over to the ATS illegally as the statutory complaint (appended below) suggests?
So many unanswered questions.
I raised some of them in this story I did for NDTV on Friday here:
http://www.ndtv.com/article/india/malegaon-blast-did-army-go-wrong-in-lt-colonel-purohit-s-case-237826?pfrom=home-lateststories
When contacted the Army has denied any wrong doing and said in response to my queries that everything was done in accordance with law.
There is a lot of fog. Clarity is elusive.

4. Unit complaint pertains to Integrated HQ of MoD (Army)
5. Name of the Commanding Officer Brig Sandep Kumar
(CO) during the period at Ser 3 Commandant,
AEC School & Centre
6. Circumstances in brief, leading to complaint
(a) I, IC 55224A Lieutenant Colonel Purohit Prasad Shrikant, am presently in the judicial custody of Special MCOCA Court No 56 (Mumbai Sessions) as accused No 9 in the Malegaon Bomb Blast Case. The case is sub-judice and the Court has not passed any verdict so far.
(b) I was officially arrested on 05 Nov 2008. Prior to my arrest, and illegal detention before that, I was attending Arabic Language Course (Ser No 2) at Army Education Corps, Training College and Centre, Pachmarhi, Distt Hoshangabad (MP).
(c) Colonel R K Shrivastav, Sena Medal (Director Military Intelligence - 9) arrived at Pachmarhi on 24 Oct 2008. On the same night all officers of Intelligence Corps attending various courses at Army Education Corps Training College and Centre were made to assemble at the Commandant's Office at around 23.30 hrs. I was the last one to interact with Colonel R K Shrivastav, Sena Medal (Director Military Intelligence - 9). This interaction took place in the presence of Brigadier (now Major General) Sandeep Kumar, Commandant AEC Training College and Centre.
(d) When I entered the Commandant's office, Colonel R K Shrivastav, Sena Medal (Director Military Intelligence - 9) asked me the first question, and I quote here – "How many terrorists have you trained in the jungles Purohit?" I was taken aback with this question and I answered that I have not done anything of this sort.
(e) Then he asked me about Malegaon Bomb Blast issue to which I answered that on 15 Oct 2009, I have already forwarded a hand written report to 1/6 Team of Central Command Liaison Unit at Jabalpur, addressed to Major Bhagirath Dey (Intelligence officer of the team at Jabalpur). I have attached this report as Appendix 'A' to this letter. I also informed Colonel Shrivastav that on 13 Oct 2008 I had telephonically informed Colonel Vinay S Panchpore (Commanding Officer of Southern Command Liaison Unit) and Major Praveen Khanzode (Intelligence Officer of A Team/ 3 Detachment of Southern Command Liaison Unit located at Deolali). This was done in view of the facts mentioned in Para 4 above.
(f) Later at about 0100 hrs on 25 Oct 2008 I was taken to the VIP guest room 'SHIKSHA' of Army Education Corps Training College and Centre's Officers Mess and I was questioned by Colonel R K Shrivastav in presence of Brigadier (now Major General) Sandeep Kumar, Commandant, Army Education Corps Training College and Centre. However the Commandant Brigadier (now Major General) Sandeep Kumar left the location at around 0300 hrs on 25 Oct 2008. Before I was taken to this guest room I was ordered to deposit my mobile phones with Colonel Shrivastav which I did. Though this was an illegal order, I complied with it as I did not doubt his intentions at that time. This session of interrogation went on till 0800 hrs 25 Oct 2008. These complete proceeding were conducted without giving me any written order or directions by higher authorities. I presumed that these exist as the Commandant of the Army Education Corps School & Centre was present initially.
(g) After this, that is after 0800hrs on 25 Oct 2008, Colonel Shrivastav did not carry out any questioning to me other than meeting me at my residence on two occasions and in social get-together at Officers Institute. On 29 Oct 2008, I was called by Lieutenant Colonel G C Mohanta, Adjutant, Army Education Corps College and Centre to his office at around 0900 hrs and was told that I have to accompany Colonel Shrivastav to New Delhi. A movement order to this effect giving the destination as Integrated Headquarters of Army (MOD) for interaction with Military Intelligence - 20 was handed over to me in the presence of Colonel Shrivastav and two other officers namely Lt Col Mohanta and Lt Col Snajay Kumar (Attached as Appendix 'B'). When I along with Colonel Shrivastav were about to leave for Bhopal from where we were to board the flight to New Delhi, I was told not to carry any mobile phone and was made to deposit the one which I was carrying with the adjutant Army Education Corps Training College and Centre. I was carrying my mother's mobile then. The same was handed over to my wife on 30 Oct 2008. This illegal order of Colonel Shrivastav was obeyed by me keeping in mind previous two days events.
(h) After checking-in at the Bhopal Airport (checking in was done by Colonel Shrivastava), I was told that we were going to Mumbai instead of New Delhi. My mobile phone was already deposited with Adjutant, Army Education Corps School & Centre. I was neither allowed to inform my wife/mother about this change in destination nor allowed access to any public phone by Colonel Shrivastav. He threatened to use physical force if I tried to use public phone facility. This also amounted to illegal detention by him. We reached Mumbai Airport late at night at around 2230 or 2300hrs on 29 Oct 2008. Immediately, I was taken in a civil TATA Sumo vehicle (which purportedly was of Intelligence Bureau) which drove approximately for two hours. We arrived at an unknown place at the end of the journey. Immediately, I was taken to a room having no windows for interrogation. A team of interrogators were already present there. This team comprised of Anti Terrorism Squad (ATS) of Maharashtra Police and Intelligence Bureau officials. Though all of them were in civil dress, I got to know the names, designation and appointments of all these officials in due course of time.
(j) I was interrogated by this combined team for almost two hours on the night of 29/30 Oct 2008. Till then all the members of interrogating team was talking to me with a respect deserved by an army officer. After initial two hours of questioning, it was Colonel Shrivastav (Director Military Intelligence - 9) who suddenly sprung from his chair and initiated a brutal physical assault on me. He slapped me on my face at will and continued slapping me and started kicking me all over the body with his shoes on. Colonel R K Shrivastav then started pulling my hair on head and chest as well. At this stage the other interrogators, including the Indian Police Service cadre officers of Anti Terrorism Squad and Intelligence Bureau officers, joined him in physically assaulting me. My face was totally swollen then. Colonel R K Shrivastav's actions of physical assault on me made the Police and Intelligence Bureau officers shed their inhibition of carrying out physical torture of mine, a serving army officer. Colonel R K Shrivastav then stood on my feet and legs as I was tied to a chair and inhumanly started twisting my nipples and my private parts (genitals) with all his strength. Colonel Shrivastav once again started hitting me on my face and even boxing me with tight fists on my back. Colonel Shrivastav was holding and pulling my hair on head while the other Indian Police Service officers tortured me. I was in absolute state of shock and totally shattered by this physical assault carried out by Colonel R K Shrivastav,Sena Medal, (Director Military Intelligence - 9).
(k) This nightmare of physical assaults hitting, slapping, twisting of private parts, tying me to a chair, standing on my legs, feet coupled with dirtiest possible abuses on my mother, wife and sister continued till unabated. After four days of continuous beating and torture, on 02 Nov 2008, Colonel Shrivastav ordered the Police to handcuff me. This was breach of privilege for the serving army officer and it was not police officers but insistence of Col Srivastav which caused the same. I was handcuffed and remained in that condition till 04 Nov 2008.
(l) The sequence of beating and brutal torture was intermittently on with Colonel Shrivastav abusing me about my mother, wife and sister. He kept on threatening me that if I don't own up my involvement in the Malegaon Bomb Blast, he (Colonel Shrivastav) would strip my mother, wife and sister and make them parade naked in front of me. Police officially arrested me on 05 Nov 2008 and the legal process commenced.
(m) From 29 Oct 2008 to 04 Nov 2008, I was not allowed to talk to my family members even once over the telephone. I was confined to the same unknown location with round the clock Police guard guarding me while I was in handcuffed condition. I was totally broken down and traumatized, both physically and mentally. It was not any state police but Col Srivastav, who led me into the trap of illegal detention and torture.
(n) Colonel R K Shrivastav kept on insisting that I should own up my involvement in the Malegaon Bomb Blast and should give it in writing, to which I asked him how I could own up something which I am not even aware of. The only possible explanation I could assign to his malafied actions is his efforts to boost his career prospects in the most un-officer like manner.
(o) Once I was arrested and lodged in the Police Custody, on 14 Nov 2008 my father in law and my advocate had come to meet me at the said Police Station. Colonel Shrivastav was present there. Colonel Shrivastav said that it is his promise that my sons would live in an orphanage henceforth as he would ensure my entire family would be arrested and imprisoned.
(p) On 15 Nov 2008, during the court hearing at Nashik, I mentioned about the torture and happenings from 29 Oct to 04 Nov 2008 to my wife. Subsequently my wife had written letter to COAS on 16 Nov 2008 ( copy of the letter is attached as Appendix 'D') to which no acknowledgment or reply received so far.
(q) I was in police custody for approximately for a month and thereafter in judicial custody. I was not given any access to correspond or communicate with my wife or relatives in police custody. Even in judicial custody, my first thought was to overcome physical pain resulted because of torture. I requested the Court for my medical inspection at military hospital. It was conducted at INHS Asvini I Mid December 2008. This report is attached as Appendix 'C'. The assessment given in the medical report corroborates the injuries suffered by me were of recent past.
(r) As I understand the legal procedure, if at all I am involved in any criminal activity. The police will seek permission of army authorities for my custody. Probably it was sought and granted but I was not informed of the same initially or subsequently. An army officer can not be absconding like any normal civilian. Hence the secrecy surrounding the actions leading to my arrest can not be understood. Thus, I can safely presume that it was handiwork of Col Srivastav to keep everything under wraps and expose a brother officer to torture and inhuman treatment.
(s) Military Intelligence is not the investigating agency but the intelligence agency and in any case a single member investigation is not desirable in any case for inherent flaws of personal biases and fancies. Col Srivastav assumed the charge of proceeding single handedly and overstepped his mandate (if at all any was specified) in mistreating and torturing me.
(t) I do not have any relation whatsoever with Malegaon bomb blast case. In any case, till such time I am declared guilty by the court of law, I am innocent and hence deserve the privileges of a serving army officer and also as a normal human being.
(u) Maharashtra police can arrest an individual from Madhya Pradesh only after informing local police. This would not have been possible because Madhya Pradesh police would have asked for warrant or incriminatory evidence to allow Maharashtra police to do so. Maharashtra police took safe way in forcing army authorities completing their not so easy job. Whenever an accused is transported from one state to other a transit remand is required and Maharashtra police were sure of scrutiny by MP police. It was quite evident from the proceedings of the case that no such evidence or foolproof case was with Maharashtra. I am claiming so because even while under army law, I am enjoying the status of citizen of India and protected by laws of the land.
7. Main points of the complaint I have the following complaints against Colonel R K Shrivastav, Sena Medal (Director Military Intelligence - 9) that during the period from 29 Oct 2008 to 05 Nov 2008 he has
(a) He cheated brother officer (me) by not informing about the orders of arrest available with him.
(b) He willfully misguided me by getting movement order for New Delhi prepared and forcefully diverting me to Mumbai.
(c) He took upon himself the job of Maharashtra police which was not mandated to him (presuming that he was given responsibility to hand me over to Maharashtra police) in detaining, torturing and mistreating me.
(d) He wrongly confined me and illegally detained me, initially at Panchmarhi and later on at unknown place in Maharashtra.
(e) He did not allow me to contact my wife or mother or any other relative.
(f) He physically assaulted me even after knowing fully well that I am a serving officer.
(g) He forcefully tried to extract a false statement and forced me to give a statement for the actions and acts not done by me.
(h) He tried inhuman methods to extract false confession.
(j) He kept on slapping false allegations and accusations against me during my interrogation and thereafter during Court of Inquiry.
(k) He used unparliamentarily, abusive and extremely derogatory language, abuses and remarks against the women members of my family.
(l) He violated the human rights of brother officer by his actions over the said period.
8. Redress Sought

Important for India to be with the world on Iran: Madeleine Albright
Madeleine Albright, first woman to become Secretary of State in the United States, is a major international figure in strategic circles and also heads the consulting firm Albright-Stonebridge that works across the globe in furthering American business and strategic interests. As Secretary of State under President Bill Clinton between 1997-2001, she had played a major role in South Asia. Currently on a whirlwind tour of India, she took time off to meet NDTV's Security & Strategic Affairs Editor Nitin Gokhale and spoke on a range of issues.
(Video available at: http://www.ndtv.com/video/player/ndtv-special-ndtv-24x7/india-growth-story-was-oversold-says-former-us-secretary-of-state-to-ndtv/237315?hp)
Nitin: First of all, what brings you to India?
Albright: Well I'm very glad to be with you, thank you. I enjoy visiting India but I have come because my company, the Albright-Stonebridge Group, works here. We have excellent people working with us here. We're a global consulting firm, global strategic consulting and we try to help multi-national corporations operate in a very useful way in India. So I'm here to look at that and then talk to a few groups about elections, democracy, US-Indian relationship.
Nitin: So where do you think the US-India relationship is going?
Allbright: I think it's going in an excellent direction. I have been around long enough to see the evolution of the US-Indian relationship and I'm very proud to have been part of the Clinton administration, where I think we began to put the relationship on a good footing. I was here with President Clinton, which was one of the truly amazing visits, and then I was very pleased to see that the Bush administration really built on what President Clinton had started. And now President Obama with Secretary Clinton, I think, have taken it to a new level and I think it's a very important relationship for both our countries.
Nitin: But there is some kind of an apprehension that it is sort of an 'on and off' kind of a relationship. It is not going the way it should go, specially after the civil nuclear deal that President Bush had signed with India, and India has not really been on board with the US. Do you agree with that prognosis?
Albright: Well, I understand that there are kind of bumps in the road on a number of issues but, in many ways, I've been in the diplomacy business for a long time, I think that is to be expected. We are two great democracies and our processes take a while to work. But I do think that on the whole it's a very good relationship for both countries. And that we are operating as friends, we agree on more and more things. We disagree on some, but I think that's natural for a relationship of friendship.
Nitin: Right, but you also mentioned that you advise, strategic advice you give to various companies trying to operate in India. Do you think the Indian economic story has gone bust? Is it over?
Albright: I definitely don't think that it's over. I think that, again, it is going through a period where the growth is not everything that the Indians expected, I have to say in comparison to the growth of most countries, where 7% is a pretty good growth record. But I think that one of the things that happened was that the growth of India was maybe oversold to a certain point, which also happens, and then when it goes through a small period when things shift a little bit, there is undue doom and gloom. I have great confidence in the Indian economy and in the Indian people and their capability of working through what are some slowdowns in certain areas.
Nitin: Okay. You were the Secretary of State at a very crucial period in India's history, 1997-2001, when India conducted the nuclear tests, we also had the Kargil skirmish with Pakistan. How do you assess the India-Pakistan relationship, looking at it from the American eyes?
Albright: Well, I think that we have had a lot of ups and downs with Pakistan. I think that many times America is accused of being kind of a fairweather friend to Pakistan. I think that, in looking at it from the side of both countries, that there are some very, very serious problems. And the relationship is obviously an important one to both countries, but the United States has been very troubled by some of the ways that Pakistan has not been as helpful as it could be, on dealing with some of the terrorist issues, on providing safe havens, on the way that some of the aspects of the war with Afghanistan has gone. But it's a complicated country, I think in terms of the issues out there, they are, they have a weak government, they have issues in terms of how they are dealing with extremists, the questions of corruption and they are in a very difficult location. I think, from the perspective of the United States, it is important for us to have a functional relationship with Pakistan. Which I'm sure that Indians would agree with, is that, I think that it is both important for India to have a working relationship with Pakistan, but certainly it's important for the United States also.
Nitin: Going forward, we know that a draw back would begin in Afghanistan 2014. NATO and ISAF will come away from Afghanistan, the US will disengage from Afghanistan. What is your assessment of the situation post 2014 in that region?
Albright: Well, I think that what has been made clearer and clearer, is that there will continue to be work after 2014. I was in Chicago for the NATO Summit, and I think, from what I can tell, the US administration feels that the NATO Summit was very important in kind of making sure that everybody would do what they're supposed to do until 2014, and then also looking at how to help in non-combat ways after that, in order to try to make sure that there is a safe and stable government in Afghanistan. And here also, the role of India is very important in the post-military part of this, and there is going to be a series of civilian duties and a continued training of the Pakis ... of the Afghan forces. Working with Pakistan also with all of this, and then trying to figure out how to make sure that civil society infrastructure is in place, so that Afghanistan is not a threat to anybody in the region.
Nitin: Right, talking about Afghanistan again, what is your assessment on the role of the Chinese in Afghanistan? Because they are also a big player in the region and they would be interested in what's happening to Afghanistan post-2014.
Albright: Well, I think everybody is interested in it. The Russians are, and the neighbours from the various stands are interested, because it has been an area that has been unsettled for so long, for such a very long time. I think the Chinese are interested, there is no question, in terms of some of the mineral deposits that are there, and I think it would be unexpected if they weren't interested. But, from the perspective of the United States, I have heard lots of conversations about the importance of having India play a constructive role in Afghanistan.
Nitin: And also would India play a constructive role in Iran, you think? Mediating between US and Iran?
Allbright: Well I think, I'm interested and glad that you asked that question, because for the United States and for what is going on in the Middle East, and for an issue that is so important to all of us, nuclear proliferation, I think that India can play a huge role. India has been, I think, very much a leading force in making sure that there is not a proliferation of nuclear weapons, and everybody is very concerned about what is going on in Iran. We don't know what is going on and what their motivations and capabilites are. And I do think that if India wanted to, it could play an important role in terms of trying to figure out what is going on, and diffusing the problems, and making sure that Iran is not trying to have a weapons capability. It is of extreme concern, I think, to everybody about what's going on in Iran, and I think that it would be a step in the right direction if India took a very positive step, in supporting the International efforts, to get inspections in Iran and to try to determine what the Iranians are upto.
Nitin: You said, very interestingly, that if India wanted to. You think India wants to mediate or wants to remain aloof from this problem in Iran?
Albright: Well, I think that India has different kinds of relationships with Iran, and there are lot of Indians in the region, and I think also there have obviously been issues in terms of India needing oil from Iran. What has happened is that India now has an exclusion from the sanctions regime and is, as I read it, is buying oil from Iraq. And I really hope that India, that really has, even though not a signatory of the non-proliferation treaty, it has been very important in talking about the dangers of proliferation. But the question is which of the various needs of India are paramount? And so I can understand why there has been a desire to have a relationship with Iran, but also that it would be important for India to be with the rest of the International community, in terms of trying to figure out what Iran is doing, and being a part of International pressure on the Iranian leadership.
Nitin: Secretary, going forward, since you have also been a long time watcher of China, what do you think is going to be the Chinese role in terms of stimulating the world economy, as well as stabilizing Asia in the next 20-25 years?
Albright: Well, what is so interesting about China is that obviously it has had a huge growth spurt and it's making more and more of an appearance on the global scene. And some people wonder what its motivations are on being part of the global scene. Some of it has to do with the fact that they are resource hungry, they need to have energy for their growth. In many ways, in my following of China, they have been reluctant to play a global role. Very interestingly, when I was part of the UN, they didn't like to participate in any of the discussions, except for those that involved the interference of the domestic affairs of other countries. They didn't want to have anything to do with that. So slowly they became more interested in the regional issues and now more and more globally. So, it's interesting to watch their evolution in terms of what their global role is. Also what is interesting to see, is that they are in the Fall, going to have a generation of change in their leadership, which in their case is going to be very important in terms of what that leadership sees, what its global responsibilities are. I think that there always mixed feelings in the United States, and I know in India, in terms of how China is viewed. Is it a threat or benign? In the United States, there are discussions of, are they friends or enemies? And somebody made up a really silly word called 'frenemies', and I think that there is a little bit of both. I think people are concerned about what it is they are doing in the South China Sea, people are concerned about their development of a blue water navy generally. On the other hand, they have been co-operative in protecting certain navel passages and dealing with piracy, which are issues that are important to India and to the United States. I think that they clearly are a rising power that the United States has to deal with, that India has to deal with. And what is interesting is that the United States, under President Obama, has decided that it is important to sort of rebalance some of our strategies to recognise that we are a Pacific as well as an Atlantic power. And so there is going to be a lot more attention paid to the Asia Pacific.
Nitin: You interestingly used the term 'frenemies'. In India we have this term that is used increasingly with respect to China: 'Co-operation with Competition'. That is something that has been happening between these two Asian nations. Do you think going forward, that India and China can co-exist and live with each other despite the tensions that they have carried forward from the 1960s?
Albright: I hope so. Because I think that there are an awful lot of issues that can be dealt with diplomatically. Certain issues that there is agreement on, certain disagreement, but I think that it's very important that they be worked out in a diplomatic way, because where that statement always said, "when two elephants fight, a lot of smaller animals get hurt". So I think that it is to, if one cares about international stability, which I think most of us do, then I think that it's important for the Chinese and the Indians to sort out whatever their issues are, whether they are boundary issues or just regional hegemon issues.
Nitin: But trade has played a major part as far as India-China relations are concerned. You think the same applies to US-India relationship as well as China-US relationship?
Albright: Well, I think trade is very important. I mean, we are living in an increasingly economically interdependent world, and from the perspective of the United States, we would like to see an increased trade with India and are looking forward to having more trade, more investments by Americans in India and Indians in America. And I also think that our trade with China is also very important. We are all dependent on each other. And trade in many ways is one of the most people-oriented aspects of the relationships. Not only does it have to do with the goods but the people that are involved in it, and developing people to people relations. But from the perspective of the US, we would like to see more trade with India.
Nitin: Great, one last question about the Euro-zone crisis. Do you think it's solvable? Do you think there is a solution to what we are seeing right now in the economic crisis in Europe?
Albright: Well, I'm an optimist, who worries a lot. But I do think it is solvable. The European Union itself is kind of an outgrowth of trying to never have the same problems that had created World War I and World War II. When an attempt for many small nations in Europe to be able to get along, and that Nationalist feelings don't rise, and that people can cross borders freely and there can be investments back and forth, so there was a real reason for the European Union and the Euro zone. So what is happening now is that different countries in Europe, even though they got together, did not have, the European Union and the Euro-zone do not have a common fiscal policy. And so there are lot of discussions about fiscal sovereignity and a variety of issues, but I do think that if one follows the debate, that slowly and very slowly there are attempts for the political figures to try to work it out, and the central bankers to find some kind of common purpose. So I am an optimist on this.
Nitin: You think you are an optimist, so is the world safe and stable, you think? One last word from you
Albright: No, things are complicated. We are in the middle of a change in the international system. I don't think there is a, and I say this generally, you don't really feel that there is a lot of confidence in the institutions. It's true nationally, it's true in the United States, in terms of confidence in our Congress and a variety of institutions. There's not a lot of confidence in the regional institutions and the European Union is just one of them. And there is some question about the role of international institutions, the United Nations, and so I think we are going through a major shift, where there are questions about the role of the Nations states, how we relate to each other and how inter-dependent we are, without having the institutional structure to work out problems. So, we all want stability, but I think that there are certain areas which make us all pretty nervous.

A lot of work is being done, currently, to perfect the use and service of food delivery robots.
Kiwi Campus, which is developing robots at UC, Berkeley, has built "human perception" into its designs, with a digital face display that can offer winks and other expressions. This display can come in handy when a robot, out on a food delivery call, gets in trouble. Recently, one of the bots was following directions to a delivery location and found that there were a series of steps to climb. Robots, to date, don't do stairs, so it attempted to back up to turn around and got stuck in a flower bed. Fortunately, a student on the Berkeley campus, seeing the robot's dilemma, took pity and lifted it back onto the sidewalk. In return, the robot flashed "heart eyes" at her on its digital display as it rolled along on another route. To date, the autonomous technology for both robots and driverless cars is imperfect, often resulting in a comedy of errors as there's no one protecting them once they're on a food delivery mission. Fortunately, they've become part of the campus culture on the Berkeley campus and rely, when necessary, on the assistance of the students when they become "endangered." To foster this kind of acceptance, such actions as dressing the robots in costumes for their Halloween deliveries has furthered their endearment to the students. Starship Technologies, a San Francisco-based company, has a project involving more than 50 food delivery bots ongoing in Milton Keynes, England since last October. In that city, neighbors post "bots in distress" notices on the community's social media pages. There have been times when residents have defended the bots against attacks by bullies who find it amusing to tip them over. And when a couple of bots got stuck in the snow, the community rallied. "The children love them," they say. Starship, which was founded in 2014, introduced another 25 wheeled robots for use on the campus of George Mason University in January, 2019. Students observed with amusement when four of the bots came face-to-face accidentally – apparently there were no directions included as to who had the right of way. Robot makers see the need for winning over the love and approval from local pedestrians as well as local officials as a first requirement to using the robots in a given location. Company researchers at Starship have staged stuck robots in public places then hidden in nearby buildings to see if anyone assisted the robots. They found that people helped out more often when the bots emitted audible signals for help. Thus, after trying out different voices, they settled on a human-sounding voice for their current model. Robby Technologies is a Silicon Valley start-up that is testing out its bots on the University of Pacific campus in Stockton. The robots are built to resemble a small pet walking down the street and contain enhanced "human robot interaction" so that they can say "excuse me" and "thank you." Agility Robots is building a walking delivery robot, resembling a human, that can handle stairs. Most current delivery robots remain some version of the rolling bread box. Once the delivery robots are perfected, they are expected to offer far less costly ways to deliver food.

"A people without knowledge of their history is like a tree without roots"
Four years ago, in 2003, an envelope with a stamp postmarked Clonmel came up for auction in Sydney, Australia. It went for €42,000.00 and was acquired by Australia Post. The letter, reproduced here, written for James Walsh by a professional letter-writer, spent 30 years in a private stamp collection in America. The owner has shunned all publicity. No one knows where the letter was kept between 1843 and 1973 or how it got to America.
Although it was a stamp auction the contents of the letter, from James Walsh to his wife Mary, is invaluable for those seeking an insight to the hardship and heartbreak of separation common to Irish people in the 19th century. Mary had been deported to Van Diemens Land, now known as Tasmania, for stealing a piece of cashmere wool. She was 30 years old and had three children, the youngest a year old baby also named Mary.
Despite petitions from her husband to the Lord Lieutenant appealing the severity of the sentence she was shipped out from Dublin to Hobart on a ship ironically named Hope on April 10th 1842. She took her baby with her. On arrival she was assigned to work for a free settler as a housemaid. Her baby was sent to an orphanage where she died two years later.
I have received your kind and welcome letter of the 20th of March which is the greatest happiness I have enjoyed ever since the day I have parted my dearest Mary. It gives consolation to my troubled mind to know that you are comfortably situated in your exile and that you have the great pleasure of seeing your sweet child at times.
It would be the only wish of my heart Dear Mary, to go to you even on my knees, but I have not the means at present for I have to pay so much a year for Maurice [son] out of my wages, and as there is no Emigration nor any provision made by the Government for that country renders my state unable to go out to my lovely and dearest Mary.
Therefore if you could by any means make interest to bring me out would be the only happiness in this life which I would desire. So if you can learn any way let me know of it in your next Letter for you are in my thoughts by day and night.
"...When you left Dublin I sent Maurice to the County Cork, to my sister Mary and I have not seen him those 12 months past but I intend on tomorrow the 17th July to go to see him, he is in god health as I receive letters from him. I have a new suit of clothes for him. Johny Hayes is in good health, along with the Prendergasts (near your Uncle Jack) in Service. I see him oftener than Maurice, for I do not leave Johny Hayes out of my memory at all, but give him every little thing that he wants. I am employed ever since you left home at Thomas Kennedys at Pass and at Thomas Rourks.
My dear Mary there is not a moment but I am thinking of you day and night and will be always so til it pleases God to restore you once more to my arms for you are my only thoughts by day and my dreams at night. I am sorry my dear wife that I did not leave my children go out with you for I could be able to follow you in a short time if people were carried out free as they were before. I would go out to you when I received your Letter but they are not without a great deal of money if I lived for a 100 years you would be as fresh in my heart, as you were the day you left me. I expect a letter from you at every opportunity as it is the only pleasure I can enjoy, since my loving wife is so far away from me, it is my prayer morning and night to bring you safe to my bosom. I am glad to hear that my sweet little Mary is so well.
My dear Mary, this is a broken hearted letter I am sending you as I cannot bring it myself. Send me word in your next letter if you intend to come home to me, when your time is out for I could not live at home without being in this place where my poor Mary used to be. I would send you another letter in a short time after this but fearing that you would remove from the place you are in at present.. Think of your broken hearted husband and children as long as you live.
I am very well in health, as also are your children, all your friends are well. All the neighbours are well and very sorry for you, but I hope God will restore you once more to me and be happy together forever again. I will keep your Letter next to my heart until I receive another from you my darling wife. My dear Mary when I used to go to work every Monday morning from you I would feel the week a year long until I would see you on Saturday evening but what must my heart feel now when I cannot see you at all. For when I am at work, my labour cannot give me any concern, but thinking of you.
My brother Jack and Maurice and families are well in health. My brother Jack lives now in the County Cork, in Mucroom, it troubles me very much to have my child so far from me, as it would be great comfort to my mind to see him once a week. I received your kind letter on 11th July which removed a mountain from my heart. Whenever you write direct your letter to Thomas Kennedy. All your neighbours send you […] blessing. I know my dear loving Mary that you will deserve the love and esteem of those with whom you live, as you have merited the goodwill of all who knew you at home.
Now my dear wife as I am at the point of finishing my letter, farewell, farewell and may [you] receive as much consolation at reading of this as I have the reading of yours.May your rest be calm and your dreams sweet always thinking of him, who always thinks of you. Again farewell until I can shake hands with my darling Mary, until death do us part.
I have offered a pound to Hennessy the writer if he could do anything for me by writing to the Lord Lieutenant."
The fate of James Walsh?
There is no record of Mary requesting passage back to Ireland: 'It is unlikely she would have been able to afford it,' Wishart notes, 'and it was very uncommon for convicts to return. She possibly married again, quite illegally, but it was quite common to do so. Two years after James Walsh wrote this love letter to his wife, Ireland was racked by the Great Famine. The fate of James Walsh and the two children that Mary was forced to leave behind is unknown.

HR PRACTICES
Innovative training of KGFS staff
As the Kshetriya Gramin Financial Services (KGFS) initiative is unique, IFMR Trust has made every effort to recruit suitable people and design and implement appropriate training programmes for staff at various levels.
To select and train KGFS Relationship Officers (ROs), IFMR Trust has partnered with an investee company, STRiVE, which is building networks for skills development of youth from rural areas.
STRiVE worked with three training institutes in its network to invite applications and interview potential candidates for the post of RO.
ROs were expected to have completed higher secondary education, have sound knowledge of basic mathematics and be fluent in Tamil.
Around 125 candidates were shortlisted and 34 were selected.
The first batch of ROs was trained in May 2008. More training programmes are planned to be held every month.
Each RO training programme runs for 20 days.
Janhavi Dave, Associate, HR and Training, IFMR Trust, explains that essentially each training programme consists of time-bound modules on topics like basic computer skills, basic written and spoken English skills, and office management skills.
"In June 2008, after the KGFS rollout, we will push for another round of training on appraisals, on software and a short refresher course on products," she adds.
To select KGFS CEOs, IFMR Trust relied on a full-time residential programme for officers from the three wings of the Indian armed forces, offered by the Indian Institute of Management, Ahmedabad (IIM-A) and Symbiosis, Pune, in collaboration with the Directorate-General of Resettlement, Ministry of Defence (DGR-MoD).
The programme aims at providing management education to officers of the Indian armed forces, whether in short commission or regular commission so that they can meet corporate needs after retirement.
Participants are handpicked by the DGR-MoD from amongst eligible officers. The programme packs in all the modules of a standard MBA course.
The first lot of KGFS CEOs are from this background. After the appointment, they underwent a 30-day training course at IIM-A, followed by an induction programme of the same duration at IFMR Trust.
They also received inputs on products, sales, marketing and HR from MicroSave India.
A highlight of the induction programme is that CEOs have to live with a rural family in order to better understand local nuances and customs, as well as to get a concrete idea about typical spending habits.
KGFS CEOs work in tandem with Chief Operating Officers (COOs) who come from relevant banking and finance backgrounds.
COOs undergo an induction programme on microfinance, followed by a round of training on external communications.
"The latter is essential to understand the subtleties and significance of interfacing with external parties like panchayats and local social and cultural organisations," Dave explains.
IFMR Trust is using inputs from various resource organisations, such as IFMR's Centre for Microfinance, to design programmes for other KGFS-related needs.
Says Dave: "Our training inputs will be continuously planned, based on the feedback we get from our staff, and new demands."
"Training will also move from one geography to another and an attempt will be made to do as much training as possible on the field," she adds.

The ACT Minister for Police and Emergency Services, Simon Corbell, today released a report on "Use of Emergency Alert during the Mitchell Hazardous Material Fire". The eight page report notes problems with the system used to issue a recorded message to land-line telephones and SMS to mobile phones on 16 September 2011.
The minister's media release refers to the limitations in the national system, but does not deficiencies in the use of the system by ACT Government staff. In particular the text message contained the spelling errors Insadents for incidents.
Resadents for residents. Media reports indicated that as a result some of the public thought this was a hoax this is a well known issue with credible emergency communications. It is not clear why this failure in procedure was not picked up in the training and instructions issued.
The report notes that there are other means of issuing emergency messages, such as the web. However the report does not addresses the deficiencies in the ESA web site I noted on the day of the emergency.
Emergency Alert is a nationally coordinated telephony based warning system designed to send messages to the landline and mobile telephones of residents in a defined geographic area. The ACT is a partner in Emergency Alert and has established a capacity to use the system operationally in the ACT. Emergency Alert is not an "opt in" or "opt out" system, as it is based on the national telephone database of all Australian telephone providers.
Emergency Alert is operational, allowing messages to be sent to landline and mobile telephones in a defined geographic area determined by the billing addresses that occur in that area.
It will not provide messages to mobile phones within the target area that have billing addresses outside that area. Likewise, it will send messages to mobile phones outside the target area if their billing address is inside that area.
For the hazardous material fire at Mitchell, two Emergency Alert campaigns were run, and messages were issued. The commencement of messaging was at 0138 and 0319 on the morning of 16 September 2011 for the first and second campaign respectively.
This was the first operational use of the system in the ACT. Previous uses have been for testing only.
The first Emergency Alert was issued at 0138 hours on Friday 16 September 2011.
Emergency. Emergency. The ACT Fire Brigade is responding to a Chemical incident in Mitchell. Residents are advised to evacuate the suburb immediately including the racecourse and EPIC. Further information is available via Canberra Connect, or go to www.esa.act.gov.au.

Spelling errors in the original text message are corrected above.
spelling errors in both messages issued via SMS. It is regrettable that this led to uncertainty regarding the origin and authenticity of the messages for some recipients.
The Emergency Alert System issues warnings via voice recording and SMS based on predefined templates for a particular emergency.
The template of the voice message requires words to be spelt phonetically by the originating agency to ensure that words will be pronounced correctly when automatically converted from text to voice by the system. However, this is not a requirement for warnings issued via SMS. This distinction was not taken into consideration at the time the Emergency Alerts were issued with the result that phonetic spellings were inadvertently copied into SMS messages.
The Target Area was to registered billing addresses for mobile and landline telephones within the suburb of Mitchell including Exhibition Park (EPIC) and the Canberra Racecourse. The data provided in this report is based on information provided by the system manager on 17 September 2011.
2,693 mobile services were identified.
A campaign duration of 30 minutes was nominated.
Analysis of the Geocoded National Address File (GNAF) which is administered by the Public Sector Mapping Agency identified 1421 individual address points in the first target area, which is significantly less than the 22,598 landline services identified. This reflects the target area was largely commercial and industrial, and may include telephone exchanges. The ESA will raise with the system managers issues associated with the high proportion of landline services identified compared with the actual number of address points to potentially reduce the time required to send messages by the system.
5,851 (25%) of calls were answered.
2,375 (10%) of lines were identified as busy.
3,652 (16%) were not answered.
884 (4%) were fax lines.
NB: 22,598 (100%) of numbers were dialled.
895 (33%) of text messages expired.
58 (2%) text messages were undelivered.
The second Emergency Alert was issued at 0319 hours on Friday 16 September 2011.
The ACT Fire Brigade is responding to a chemical incident in Mitchell. Residents of Franklin, Crace, Harrison, Watson, Downer, Kaleen, Lyneham, Hackett are advised to shelter indoors, immediately. If you are indoors, close all windows, doors, vents and turn off air conditioning. Further information is available via Canberra Connect, or go www.esa.act.gov.au.
The ACT Fire Brigade responding to chemical incident in Mitchell. Residents of Franklin, Crace, Harrison, Watson, Downer, Kaleen, Lyneham, Hackett stay indoors.
Again, spelling errors in the original text are corrected above.
The Target Area was to registered billing addresses for mobile and landline telephones within the suburbs of Franklin, Crace, Harrison, Watson, Downer, Kaleen, Lyneham, Hackett and Mitchell.
83,774 Mobile services were identified.
13,784 (16%) of calls were answered.
69,229 (80%) were not dialled.
1,098 (1%) were fax lines.
26,740 (32%) of text messages expired.
3,049 (4%) of text messages were undelivered.
In preparing the campaigns, there was an expectation that the alerts issued for the target area would be delivered within 30 minutes due to the nature and urgency of the incident. The system captured the identified areas and accepted the allocated campaign time nominated by the ESA. It was not until the results of the two campaigns were provided that it was identified that a significant number of phone messages and SMS messages were not delivered as the time specified for the system to dial all of the numbers with billing addresses in the target area proved to be too short. These are identified as "text messages expired" or "not dialled" fixed landline calls above.
While the system does identify the necessary time duration to complete a campaign, the system does not provide a warning to the operator that the proposed campaign is too short.
These matters were discussed with the managers of the system. With the size of the second campaign, it was estimated it could have taken 6-7 hours to complete – this would have finished sending messages around 9:00 - 10:00 am, well after the "shelter in place" advice had been lifted.
b. Split the target areas into a number of separate campaigns, although this may not assist where the system is accessing a single telephone exchange to deliver the messages.
These issues did not arise in previous testing over relatively smaller areas. Testing undertaken on 7 June 2011 covered Dunlop and targeted 1573 fixed landlines and over 5000 mobile services. This test resulted in approximately 88% of landlines being answered and text messages sent to approximately 67% of mobile phones within 45 minutes.
Notwithstanding limitations arising from a discrepancy between the identified target area and the nominated campaign time, the Emergency Alert successfully provided warning messages to a significant number of people in the community that were acted upon.
EPIC when the incident occurred.
4. The Emergency Services Commissioner will provide written feedback to the systems managers about the ACT's experience of this operational activation of the system, including to suggest potential improvements in the operator's interface, such as the provision of a "Red Flag" warning for circumstances where the size of the campaign exceeds the time nominated for delivery of the message.
5. The ACT raise issues associated with the ACT's operational use of the system in appropriate emergency management fora (including the National Emergency Management Committee and the Standing Council on Police and Emergency Management) at the next convenient opportunity.
1 The number of fixed landline phones for the first alert message was much greater than mobile services. In residential areas, there are generally a significantly higher proportion of mobile telephones to fixed landlines.
2 Numbers incorrectly identified due to customer's records not being updated.
discrepancy will be raised with the system managers.
4 The system does not identify whether "delivered" text messages were opened and read by the recipients. Likewise, the system does not identify whether these mobiles that received the messages were inside or outside the target area at the time of delivery.
5 The number of fixed landline phones for the second alert message was similar to mobile services. As previously noted, in residential areas there are generally a significantly higher proportion of mobiles to fixed landlines. It is noted that the second campaign also included the area of Mitchell, which as shown in the first campaign, has a large number of fixed landlines relative to mobile phones.
Analysis of the Geocoded National Address File (GNAF) identified 37,017 individual address points in the second target area, which is significantly less than the 86,801 landline services identified. The ESA will raise with the system managers issues associated with the high proportion of landline services identified compared with the actual number of address points to potentially reduce the time required to send messages by the system.
8 See note 4 above.
Federal Opposition emergency services spokesperson and ACT Liberal senator Gary Humphries said: "It shows that the Federal Government's Emergency Alert telephone emergency warning system is a shambles. A national emergency warning system cannot be based on trial and error. This system deals with matters of life and death."
While there were some problems with the system, my impression was that it had worked well previously for floods in Queensland.


A massive thank you to our Emergency Services team who over the last few weeks have supported hundreds of people in the wake of a raft of disasters across the country. We have had flooding in North Queensland from the east coast to the gulf, Cyclone Marcus in the Northern Territory and bushfires in Victoria and New South Wales.
Our volunteers and staff are providing support such as psychological first aid, information and recovery advice, and they will be there for the long haul.
If you know anyone who would like to do something practical to help us, there are a couple of things you can suggest – a donation to our Disaster Relief and Recovery work or if they are interested in volunteering in future emergencies please send them to the volunteering section of our website .
If you have ever wondered what it's actually like in an evacuation centre, read this great story of life inside the Bega centre. Bev, one of our evac centre volunteers quoted in the story, epitomises the community spirit of Red Cross people. "Even though my house is in the firing line, so to speak, I just have to be here helping my community," she says.
For all you Zara shoppers, look out for Red Cross clothing donation boxes appearing in-store across Australia this month.
The first three have launched in Chadstone, Bondi and Macquarie and is part of the #joinlife initiative, encouraging customers to bring clothes they don't want or need in-store for Red Cross Shops. Zara's goal is to have donation boxes in all of their 19 Australian stores by the end of April.
It's a great way to encourage consumers to think about reducing their environmental footprint, and helps us raise vital funds. Did you know that we save 500 tonnes of clothing from landfill every year? It's a pretty powerful statistic.
We're currently working on a project, led by the Volunteer Directorate, to make some big changes to the way young people can get involved with Red Cross and take humanitarian action.
A major part of the project involves hearing directly from Australians aged between 16-30 to contribute their ideas, suggestions and experiences.
If you're in this age bracket, or know someone who is, please ask them to take our 10-minute survey and help us design the ultimate humanitarian experience for young people.
Finally, I would like to end this blog as I began, with a heartfelt thank you to those who leave us this week. You will be greatly missed and I thank you for everything you have given Red Cross.
Wishing you all a good week and a Happy Easter.

Skin cancer may also be defined as the abnormal growth of skin cells. It arises from the emergence of cancerous melanoma on a skin. Such melanomas appear as a black or brown lesion on the skin. Persistent conditions such as itchy skin, ulceration, and the emergence of sores may be possible indicators of skin cancer. The types of skin cancer vary from each other, so they vary in their aggressiveness.
It is advisable for patients to seek treatment as soon as they are diagnosed with skin cancer. There are various clinics in Provo that offer skin cancer treatment to diagnosed patients. Such clinics are open to patients from not only the surrounding area but also those from different states. Sometimes, following a positive diagnosis, patients tend to wallow in fear and depression due to the anticipated change in their lifestyles. That means that they are likely to take a long time before commencing treatment. Delayed treatment puts a greater risk at both the survival and recovery chances of a patient. There are certain types of cancer that are very aggressive in nature. That means that every day that passes grants them additional time to cause more damage to your body.
The observed symptoms vary greatly depending on the type of skin cancer that a patient has been diagnosed with. That is because they affect the skin cells differently. For instance, a basal cell carcinoma often results in the emergence of raised bumps on the skin around the head and neck. Other symptoms may include a change in the structure of your skin such that some blood vessels may begin to be visible. There are also patients that have reported the emergence of sores and skin ulcers that take longer to heal or never heal at all. There is no one person that is immune to cancer. Everyone ought to be on the lookout for such symptoms.
Whereas it may not be possible to achieve 100% safety against skin cancer, it may be possible to reduce the chances of developing it. One effective way is by protecting your skin against sunburns. Sunburns result from long unprotected exposure to sunlight. They result in the emergence of sores as the heat from the sun burns through the skin. Sunburns have been said to be the leading cause of melanoma, which is classified as the most aggressive skin cancer. Another way of protecting yourself against skin cancer is by avoiding tanning. Tanning has remained to be a long-held myth alleging to its indication of healthy skin. According to dermatologists, tanning is harmful to your skin as it results from exposure to excessive solar radiation to the extent of damaging your skin. You are better off contented with your uneven complexion as opposed to putting yourself at risk of skin cancer.
Everyone has a personal responsibility to monitor possible changes in their skin. Any changes ought to be met with immediate attention. Spare some time out of your busy schedule to go visit a doctor.


I have fallen in love with fruit gallettes; they are easy to make, taste delicious and you can use any fruit you like. Right now we are headed for the peach season, and with blueberries being in abundance this year too I decided to make Peach and Blueberry Gallettes.
I'm sure most of you, who've been around reading my blog know by now that I love farmer's cheese(which can be substituted with ricotta cheese) and I try to use it as often as I can, so one of the gallettes has also another layer of yumminess – sweet cheese.
Make the free form gallettes, divide crust dough into 2 equally big disk, roll each crust out between 2 pieces of parchment paper, sprinkle bottom parchment paper with 1tbl cornmeal to prevent dough from sticking. Roll it out as big as you can, but keeping it between 1/2-1/4 inch thick.
Transfer each rolled crust onto a baking sheet, each crust should be sitting on a parchment paper, simply lift the paper with the crust on top and transfer it.
For the Peach Gallette: sprinkle about 1/4 of quick oats or crushed cookies on the rolled crust, spread the cheese on top of it, leaving about 2 inches around without the filling, layer sliced peaches on top. Fold the crust ends inwards, pressing the dough slightly.
I have also frozen these.


St James's Hospital is urging people to avoid its Emergency Department (ED) where possible due to an unusually high demand.
In a statement released earlier this evening, the hospital said it is currently experiencing a very high number of emergency attendances, which is resulting in longer patient waiting times.
It continued: "While the Emergency Department remains open, the public are requested where possible to attend their GP or out of hours GP services in the first instance."
Last month, Tallaght hospital experienced similar increased demands in it's Adult Emergency Department and requested patients to stay away where possible.
The hospital also warned those with with minor illnesses or injuries to expect delays as their ED patients are prioritised according to "clinical need".

Brand awareness and generation of leads and possibly turn into prospective clients come under the supervision of a digital marketer. They are responsible for all digital channels of a company whether its social media marketing, inbound marketing, search engine optimization, email marketing or simply a website and a blog. The digital marketer is the leader of these channels to help grow business and its popularity.
It depends on how big your company is. If you run a small online store then you might look forward to a single man who could do multitasking and carry out these several roles. If it's a large corporation they might have a specialist for each of these channels. So one could either master in all those skills or could simply just pick one or two and get their games on.
An SEO manager keeps in check of the organic traffic, which is the number of visitors of a specified business website page. They work on getting higher ranking in the Google search engine. Moreover, they ensure that the content on a website, blog or even social media channels is SEO optimized so that it brings forth the results.
These work towards creating content whether it is web content, SEO optimized content using keywords, blogs, social media content, or articles. They coordinate with other sectors of a firm to give birth to content that generates sales and associate with the overall marketing strategy of a brand. They also keep on track of what's new and what should be updated to meet the latest standards including video content. Content-based on essays is also quite educational and helps in bringing awareness. There is a possibility if you want to hire essay writing cheap is available for you guys.
Social media manager works on the social media activity of a business. They work on building up the firm's social media accounts and make them more visible on social media platforms. These posts should get more followers, get a higher appearance on the newsfeed of different channels and the shares they get to ensure the credibility of a brand.
This person is responsible for taking together all these different mediums of digital marketing and keeps them on the overall marketing strategy creating influence like no other. A marketing coordinator also monitors the KPI's of different digital marketing features and keeps track of how well the brand is doing that is its overall performance.
On a level, both fall under the classification of digital marketing. Yet both are online and both attacks on lead generation, they are still slightly different from each other.
The digital marketing outbound tactic is actually spreading the message across a wide variety of platforms as long as it is online. Its relevance to the website or a targeted audience does not matter. These are the same ads which pop up in the middle of watching a video on YouTube. So they are not always welcomed but can generate results.
Corporate which hires for digital marketing inbound tactics focuses directly on the targeted audience. They try to bring in new customers to their website through online advertisement platforms which are on the same niche like Facebook groups or certain hash tags on Twitter to be followed. They also create blogs to educate their clients regarding their services or products.
Hence inbound marketing delights its customers and engages them with a positive attitude. While outbound marketing imposes itself on the customers though it's very highly likely if your brand is good you will get results. In comparison to most offline marketing tactics, digital marketing brings great results in less time. If you do advertising through newspaper how would you find out how many flipped through it and how many actually read it. So you cannot monitor sales this way and stay unaware of what's working and what's not.
However, in digital marketing you can track all your activities by measuring ROI. So you would know which strategies work best and which to further enhance. Digital analytics software and digital analytics data were created to monitor digital marketing activities. These may include which device is being used by the user, which social media platforms are creating the real buzz, who have viewed your websites and how many viewers are there of a website. All these alternatives are what make digital marketing the most trending industry for job seekers and for company owners to gain more business.


Dental implants are the next best thing to the real thing. Nothing replaces your natural teeth, but implant-supported crowns and bridges come as close as it gets. No dentist is more qualified to provide implant-supported crowns and bridges at a higher quality than a prosthodontist, like Dr. Tyler. As a Certified Dental Technician (CDT) before he became a dentist, Dr. Tyler gained invaluable experience, working several years in a dental lab.
As a lab technician, he specifically specialized in fabricating crowns and bridges for both teeth and dental implants. These experiences are noticeable when you receive the technically proficient treatment he provides for his patients, particularly when doing implant-supported restorations.
An implant-supported crown is a dental prosthesis that replaces a missing tooth by inserting an artificial titanium root (dental implant) into the jawbone and attaching an artificial tooth (crown) to it. It is either screwed or cemented in place and cannot easily be taken out. Implant supported crowns are a type of restoration used on patients who are missing only one tooth. It is a long-lasting and more natural-looking way of replacing a missing tooth. This type of restoration is able to replace a missing tooth from root to crown, which allows for it to work just as a natural tooth.
An implant-supported bridge is similar to a regular dental bridge, but it is supported by implants and not by natural teeth. If you are missing multiple adjacent teeth, implant-supported bridges can replace them. Implant-supported bridges require two or more dental implants. Often two implants can be placed to replace three missing teeth when connected with a three-tooth implant-supported bridge. In other cases, when an implant-supported bridge is used, one implant may be indicated for each missing tooth.
Besides allowing replacement of missing teeth, dental implants help prevent bone loss that occurs when teeth are lost. When no teeth are present the jawbone has no use, which leads to its deterioration. This shrinkage of the jawbone has esthetic consequences for your face (causing an older appearance). With the use of implant-supported prostheses, the bone is put to use, preserving it.
An implant-supported crown or bridge looks and acts like a natural tooth or teeth. They fit securely even when you chew and speak. These tooth replacements do not allow the other teeth to move and shift, protecting your bite, other teeth, and jaw joint. In addition, implant-supported restorations do not involve treatment to your other teeth as compared to a tooth-supported fixed bridge or removable partial denture.
What are Implant-Supported Crowns and Bridges made of?
An implant-supported crown or bridge consists of several parts.
The dental implant(s), which are made of titanium, are placed in the upper or lower jawbone to replace the root of the missing tooth or teeth.
The abutment(s) can be made of titanium, gold or porcelain. It is attached to the implant(s) with a screw. This part connects the implant(s) to the crown or bridge.
The restoration (the part that looks like a tooth or teeth) is the implant-supported crown or bridge. It is usually made of tooth-colored ceramics, porcelain, porcelain fused to metal, or composite resin. The crown or bridge is screwed or cemented onto the abutment. If the restoration is screwed to the abutment, the screw hole will be covered with tooth-colored composite filling material.
No Messy Impression. One Easy Appointment. Combining Dr. Tyler's certification in dental laboratory technology (CDT), and prosthodontic advanced education and training, with CEREC advanced digital technology your implant-supported crowns and bridges can be fabricated efficiently and exceptionally in a single visit. Click here to learn more about CEREC Single-Visit Technology.
For a healthy individual with good oral hygiene, dental implants have reported success rates above 90-95 percent. Good oral hygiene is very important to the success of an implant-supported prosthesis. Although the implant and the restoration can't decay, you'll need to make sure the area around them is especially clean to prevent gum problems. Professional dental hygiene visits, particularly for dental implant maintenance, are important to avoid peri-implantitis, an inflammatory process that can damage the soft tissue and bone around the implant.
Just like natural teeth, an implant prosthesis can wear and break. The lifespan of these restorations often depends on many factors, including oral habits, like teeth grinding. In many cases, a night guard is indicated to protect your implant and prosthesis.
If you want the best option for replacing a tooth or multiple teeth make sure to ask your prosthodontist about dental implant prosthetics; they surely have a lot to offer.
For any further questions about implant-supported crowns and bridges please do not hesitate to ask us.

Chinese statement on execution of British citizen
Statement of the Chinese Embassy on the Case of Akmal Shaikh (2009)
related portals: China, United Kingdom.
The following is the Statement of the Chinese Embassy in the United Kingdom on the Case of Akmal Shaikh, a British citizen executed in China. The statement was issued on 29 December 2009.

Statement of the Chinese Embassy on the Case of Akmal Shaikh
(Dec 29th, 2009)
Akmal Shaikh was convicted for serious drug trafficking. The amount of heroin he brought into China was 4030g, enough to cause 26,800 deaths, threatening numerous families. According to the Chinese law, 50g of heroin is the threshold for death penalty. It is important that the independence of the Chinese judiciary be respected.
During the legal process, Mr. Shaikh's rights and interests were properly respected and guaranteed and the concerns of the British side were duly noted and taken into consideration by the Chinese judicial authorities. Out of humanitarian consideration, visas were granted to the two cousins of Mr. Shaikh on Boxing Day, and they were given access to meeting Mr. Shaikh in China.
As for his possible mental illness which has been much talked about, there apparently has been no previous medical record.
Drug trafficking is a grave crime worldwide. In China, given the bitter memory of history and the current situations, the public has a particular and strong resentment towards it. In a recent web survey, 99% of the public support the decision of the Court.
In China the conditions are not there for abolishing the death penalty. But it is applied in a cautious manner and limited number, all such cases are reviewed by the Supreme Court.
The legal structures of China and UK may be different, but it should not stand in the way of enhancing our bilateral relations on the basis of mutual respect.
