Friday, September 26, 2003 Page 5 Story and photo by Sgt. Jolene Staker Members of the 1972nd Combat Stress Team recently arrived at Guantanamo and are digging in, getting things ready, eager to start their mission. Im very humbled to be able to offer them support and facilitate their transition both onto this assignment and off this assignment, said social worker and team member, Maj. Pamela Mindt. Part of the 1972nd Medical Detachment Combat Stress Control (CSC) out of Fort Lawton, Washington, the team makes up a clinical psychologist, a social worker and mental health specialists. Specifically trained, they will do all they can to help troopers learn to cope and adapt to life here, interacting and observing work environments to identify stressors to see what they can do as preven tive measures. Whatever it is the soldiers need, we will develop a program, class, or intervention or meet with them one on one, whatever it takes, said Clinical psychologist and CSC OIC, Lt. Col. Kathy Platoni. Were here to provide support to all boots on the ground; whatever we need to do that. Teaching stress, anger, and conflict reso lution classes, the CSC facilitates roommate contracting and consults with leadership to resolve conflict in every situation. Not only that, they give newcomers, redeployment and suicide-awareness briefs as an adden dum to decompression training, a phrase used to describe overcoming the effects of work-stress in daily living. The CSC can occasionally be sent to the mobilization sta tion to do pre-deployment briefings. While the team does have certain classes they teach, they emphasize that their support is not limited to any one in particular. They will do an assessment and do what they can to help any unit, using any one of their sec tion who is qualified to address the need. Each team member brings something to the mission. Ive been so blessed with the five people that came with me, Platoni said. They are extraordinarily bright, well trained, energetic, motivated, experienced. I cannot believe the people that I was allowed to bring with me. Platoni who previously worked in a civil ian private practice and volunteered her time at Wright State University in Dayton, Ohio, has 24 years in the Army with six active duty. During the Gulf War she was deployed stateside to debrief soldiers and provide treatment for families, later volun teering for the NYPD at Ground Zero. She said that hypnotherapy and pain manage ment are two of her specialties. Mindt has a background in law enforce ment corrections and is currently the Assis tant Director of Parole and Probation for Juveniles and Adults in Portland, Ore. She even worked inside prisons and has done consultant work for National Institute of Corrections. NCOIC Staff Sgt. Charles Essary brings his experience from being the active guard reserve detachment sergeant and nine years active army, while Staff Sgt. Oscar Carillo brings his Spanish and Creole dialect abili ties, which mean more soldiers can commu nicate with the team in their native language. Spc. Jay Jeffries brings his psychiatric hospitalization expertise and Pfc. Zach Mar ney is the only member who has gone through the newly updated mental health spe cialist training. The team agrees to this mission being a learning experience and an excellent opportu nity to gain more experience and insight. They also emphasize how much they enjoy being a team. Personally I think Ive been blessed to be brought here as part of this group, said Mar ney. But Platoni represented the excitement of the group when she said she was Absolutely ecstatic about her deployment. Ive been waiting to go somewhere since September 12, 2001 and finally somebody called my number, she said. Combat Stress: expert team arrives at Guantanamo By Sgt. Jolene Staker The JTF seems to be undergoing a total makeover, but unbeknownst to most of the base, the Leeward side is also improving. Perhaps the most noticeable change will be the new joint aid station (JAS), which is cur rently Building AV 627. Initially it will house an ambulance and one general duty hospital corpsman, but it will be a turnkey operation that can expand care for any reason migrant operations, increased training, or an increase in visiting press members. The station is antic ipated to be completed this winter. The JAS can grow to include full medical services with lab, pharmacy, X-ray and den tal operations available when necessary, and the corpsman can be augmented with doctors, nurses and health care providers, providing emergency responses for incidents happening at the airstrip, training areas or housing. The benefit of the clinic to JTF troopers is that medical care will be more accessi ble. If its not life-threatening or loss of limb they can be treated there and put back in the fight or training, said Command Sgt. Maj. George Nieves. The media operations center is also being renovated, and the project will include increasing the number of phone lines that the media can use to dial into their internet service as well as communicate with their outlets. The media center has been working out fine, said Capt. David Kolarik, JTF Media Relations OIC. But right now, were just refining it and making it more modern and accommodating. The Media Center will also have plasma televisions with new speakers so visiting press can stay abreast of the news and what is going on in the world. During their stay, Media are given a chance to tour Guan tanamo and see firsthand how the detainees are treated and how the troopers perform their mission. The story has to be told and this is the way to do it, Kolarik said. Thats why its critical for us to provide them the tech nology needed to get our story out as accu rately and timely as we can.

Friday, September 26, 2003 Page 6 America can never move forward as long as even one of our missing sons or daughters is left behind. -Maj. Gen. Geoffrey Miller, JTF commander By Spc. Rick Fahr More than 88,000 American troops remain missing in action or unaccounted for, and those men and women were honored Sept. 19, which is National Prisoner of War-Missing in Action Recognition Day. Locally, a ceremony at the POW-MIA memorial, located near the Downtown Lyceum, included comments from MG Geoffrey Miller, JTF commander, and Capt. Les McCoy, Naval Base commander. The third Friday of each September has been designated National POW-MIA Recognition Day. Miller noted that nearly 2,000 Americans are missing or unaccounted for from military action in Southeast Asia and another 8,000 are missing from the Korean War. These individuals represent a unique group of heroes, for they have endured one of the most difficult and harsh aspects of war, he said. The American people will never forget their courage and their devotion to duty, to honor and to country, often in the face of vicious treat ment and torture by their captors. McCoy contended that POWs and MIAs pay a heightened price for the freedom Americans enjoy. He recounted his training at the Navy Survive, Evade, Resist, Escape school, which simulates life in a POW camp. He said that the experience pushed he and his comrades to the brink of mental and physical exhaus tion. It took only three days harassment to take the fight out of most of my POW class, he said. Can you imag ine how an actual POW might feel after three months or three years of sensory deprivation and torture? McCoy told the troopers gathered at the ceremony that the nation will never leave them behind. Young warriors in our ranks today must know that as they go into harms way, if they should fall into the hands of the enemy, that their nation will fight to find them and secure their freedom no matter how long it takes, he said. Alice Helms, a student at W.T. Sampson Elementary School who won an essay contest on the importance of POW-MIA Recognition Day, thanked American troopers around the world for their sacrifices. We are thankful to the POWs and MIAs, for there will be freedom because of their courage, she said. Nation pauses to remember POWs, MIAs Photo by Spc.

Theo McNamara, JTF-Public Affairs Honesty, loyalty and understanding of diverse ideas are all critical elements to the success of a team. By Ken Arlinghaus JTF Nutritionist Remember getting off the plane in GTMO? And you thought Jacksonville was hot. Someone explained it to me this way; GTMO is a tropical desert; hot like the desert and humid like the jungle. Add operational commitments and stress to the mix and troopers are at serious risk of dehydra tion, which, if left untreated, may lead to more serious con ditions such as heat exhaustion or heat stroke. Remember that your body is 60 percent water by weight. Water is used as part of blood to transport needed fuel and oxygen to cells and remove waste products. The waste products are eliminated from the body in the urine, which is mostly water. Water is impor tant for proper lubrication of joints and protection of organs. Water also regulates body tem perature by absorbing heat and dissipating it through sweat. It is important to note that proper cooling of the body only takes place when the sweat on the skin evaporates. When the humidity is high (like GTMO), sweat does not evaporate, it drips. Since the body does not cool well, the sweat keeps coming and may intensify, and you guessed it, excess fluid loss (aka, dehydration). So what do you do to com bat dehydration? The Ameri can Dietetic Association and the American College of Sports Medicine make the following recommendations: Maintain a well-hydrated status at all times. The rule of thumb is one half your body weight is the number of fluid ounces needed per day. Drink 16 oz. of fluid 2-3 hours before exercise. Drink 3-4 oz. of fluid at 1520 minute intervals during exer cise. So carry water when you run longer than 20 minutes! Beverages containing 4-8 percent carbohydrate concen trations (40-80 calories per 8 oz.), like sports drinks, are rec ommended for intense exercise lasting longer than 60 minutes (water and a proper diet will normally be sufficient to replace electrolytes in all other situations). After exercise, drink 16 oz. of fluid for every pound lost during exercise. Monitor your urine: Urine should be a pale yellow (note that some supplements may darken urine). The last point I will make deals with the question about dehydration I get the most: What is the best thing to drink? Most drinks may be considered fluids. Water will normally be the best choice, but if you wont drink it, you should replace it with something else. Drinks with caffeine are poorer choices because caffeine is a natural diuretic (makes you urinate more) as is alcohol. Juices, milk, sports drinks, Kool-aid, and even watery foods like oranges all contribute to fluid balance. With all those choices it should be easy, so dont become a heat casualty, stay hydrated and stay well. Thirsty? youre already dehydrated Warehouse inventory The J4 Warehouse will be conducting a 100% inventory from Sept. 29 to Oct. 3. This inventory will be conducted between 12:30 p.m. and 7 a.m. The warehouse will be open to fill emergency requests from 7 a.m. to 7:40 a.m. throughout the inventory week. For those sec tions picking up their weekly water requirements, J4 Ware house will be open Sunday from 12:30 p.m. to 2:30 p.m. to issue water only. If you have any questions or concerns, call 3002.

Water will be out on Saturday from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. The area affected is the Tierra Kay East numbers 101 thru 150.
Friday, September 26, 2003 Page 12 15 Minutes of Fame... With Capt. Linda Sue Schwarz of the 384th Military Police Bn. Motto: How you treat people is for the most part how they are going to treat you back Interview and photo by Sgt. Jolene Staker Capt. Linda Sue Schwarz of the 384th Military Police Bn. has been a reservist 15 years. At home in Wisconsin she designs heating and ventilation air conditioning sys tems for hospitals and schools. She is com pleting the last course for a second bachelor's degree so she can work in the fire and safety engineering field. Q: What challenges have you already encountered since arriving at Guantanamo? A : Not having the freedoms we have back home. Were on an island and while it is big ger than some of the base camps I have been deployed to before, but its still small in area; you dont have the opportunity to just up and go somewhere when you want. Q: Weve covered your job and accom plishments a lot in stories in the Wire already, what would you like to share out side your job to help us know you better? A : One of the things that I cant really do here that I enjoy, is overseas traveling. At least twice a year I will find a city that inter ests me for some reason or another, fly to it, grab a map and explore. Q: How long have you been doing this? A : About six years. Q: What gave you the idea to do this? A : Ive always been interested in traveling. My dad travels a lot for his job. Now Im financially able to travel so thats what I spend my money on. Q: What was the first trip you took? A : The first place I went was to Eastern Europe in which I did Prague, Salzburg, Heidelberg, Paris, Budapest, and Munich. Q: Out of that trip what was the most memorable experience? A : My Dad was born in Czechoslovakia, or at that time what was Czechoslovakia, and I flew my parents over, and we actually went back to his hometown where he was born and raised. That was something I had always wanted to do. I was able to go back with my Dad where he could explain where every thing was and to experience and see that type of environment. Q: Out of all the trips youve taken what was your most memorable? A : Definitely Sydney, Australia. The friend liest people Ive ever met are from Australia great p lace; very diverse; different areas from the desert to Great Barrier Reef to Sydney, which is a modern cosmopolitan city. Q: And the last trip you took? A : I was in Belize [South America] in January. Q: Did you already have your next trip planned before you knew you were mobi lized? A : I was supposed to go to St. Petersburg, Russia, in June and then I was going to go to New Zealand in February. Q: It seems like you really plan ahead for your trips? A: I might plan three weeks out; I may plan six months out it all depends. Q: Do you do research before you go? A : I always have a map and kind of an idea; I might sector the city off or choose some places to go. I always try to learn the courte siesplease, thank youin that language. I dont learn the language, but I learn enough to start conversations and be courteous to the culture I am going too. Q: What other places have you been? A : Ive been to Bejing because I wanted to climb the Great Wall. Ive been to Hong Kong. I went to Rome because I wanted to go to the Vatican; Florence, Venice. London was phenomenal. Ive been to Ireland. Ive done most of what I want to do in Europe, but theres still a couple of places I want to get back to. Q: What have you learned most from all your travels? A : Ive learned that wherever you go, how you treat people is for the most part how they are going to treat you back. Whether you are in the United States or overseas, if you go in and treat them with respect they will treat you with respect back. They will judge you as a person as opposed to an American over seas or a cheese head when youre in Utah. Q: If troopers in the JTF were only going to remember one thing what would you want it to be? A : I want them to remember that the work as an engineer that I did had a positive impact on the mission and the troops, and that I enjoyed doing my job. Capt. Linda Sue Schwarz, JDOG Facilities Engi neer, stands on the site where she is inspecting the buildings being refurbished to be the Military Work ing Dog Kennel.

Series 1 Locations
Location: Essetir
Type: Village
Appearances: The Dragon's Call
Ealdor is an outlying village in the lands of Essetir. It is the home town of Merlin and his mother, Hunith and currently belongs to King Lot.
"Ealdor" is Anglo-Saxon for "old", "elder" (not "elder-tree").
Balinor's visit Edit
Following the Great Purge, Balinor, the last Dragonlord, fled to Ealdor. It is where he met Hunith and formed a relationship with her. However, Uther was determined to see him dead and sent the Knights of Camelot to kill him. In order to spare Hunith the ordeal, he left the village and never returned, leaving her pregnant with a child that would later be called Merlin (The Last Dragonlord).
Merlin's childhood Edit
As he grew up, Merlin felt like an outsider among the conservative community. Some people, such as his friend William, accepted his magic. Others like Simmons, viewed him with caution. His detachment eventually saw him leave for Camelot.
Kanen Edit
Some time after Merlin left, Ealdor came under attack from Kanen and his band who would take the village's harvest, leaving the villagers with nothing to eat. When Merlin learnt of this, he decided to return home and help defend it. He was aided by Arthur Pendragon, Morgana and Guinevere. Upon their arrival, they forced Kanen to flee.
William's cremation in Ealdor
Aware that he would return in force, Arthur began training the inhabitants to defend themselves. Ultimately, Merlin was forced to use his magic to defeat Kanen, saving the village from his pillaging. William took a crossbow bolt from Kanen to save Arthur, and claimed to him that he was the one who used magic to cover for Merlin. Merlin and the others left for Camelot soon after these events (The Moment of Truth).
Merlin's return Edit
After Morgana conquered Camelot with the help of Agravaine and Helios, Merlin decided to take Arthur to Ealdor where he would be safe, he was joined by the smuggler Tristan as his associate, Isolde, was injured. Arthur was tended to by Guinevere, who had been staying in the village for some time. Unfortunately, Agravaine tracked Arthur down and they were forced to flee. (The Sword in the Stone).
The extent of the village's damage during Agravaine's attack is unknown.

March 11, 2016 by Courtney McCune

NHL Announces HOF Class of 2014
TORONTO (June 23, 2014) – Pat Quinn, Chairman of the Hockey Hall of Fame and John Davidson, Chairman of the Hockey Hall of Fame's Selection Committee, announced today that four individualshave been elected to the Hockey Hall of Fame in the Player Category. In addition one individual was elected in the Builder Category and one in the Referee or Linesman category. The vote took place today at the annual meeting of the Selection Committee in Toronto.
"The Hockey Hall of Fame is proud to welcome these six hockey legends as Honoured Members," said John Davidson. "Their contributions to the game of hockey are well documented and their election to the Hockey Hall of Fame is richly deserved."
Rob Blake was born in Simcoe, Ontario, and played his college hockey at Bowling Green State University from 1987 – 1990, where he was a Hobey Baker finalist in his last season before turning pro with the Los Angeles Kings. He went on to play 20 NHL seasons with three NHL teams, winning the Stanley Cup with Colorado in 2001. A 12-time NHL 40+ regular season point scorer, Blake is a member of the IIHF's elite Triple Gold Club winning a Stanley Cup, Olympic gold medal and the IIHF World Championship.
"This is a tremendous honour,"said Blake. "I am fortunate to have been around the game of hockey and have it be a key part of my life for as long as I can remember."
Swedish native Peter Forsberg joined the NHL after playing five seasons in the Swedish Elite league. A first round selection of the Philadelphia Flyers in the 1991 Entry Draft, he played 14 NHL seasons and was the NHL's Rookie of the Year in 1995. A two-time Stanley Cup champion in 1996 and 2001 with Colorado, Forsberg also won the Hart Trophy in 2003. He won IIHF gold medals in 1992 and 1998 and the Olympic gold medal in 1994 in Lillehammer, Norway.
"It's been a good run and I wouldn't change places with anybody," said Forsberg. "Joining Borje Salming and Mats Sundin in the Hall of Fame as the third Swedish member makes it especially gratifying for me."
Goaltender Dominik Hasek played nine seasons professionally in the Czech League before joining the Chicago Blackhawks during the 1990-91 season. A six-time Vezina Trophy winner as the NHL's best goaltender, he also won the Hart Trophy as the league's MVP in 1997 and 1998 – the first time a goaltender had won that trophy since Jacques Plante in 1962. He won Stanley Cups in Detroit in 2002 and 2008 and also won an Olympic gold medal in 1998 in Nagano, Japan.
"After I retired I really began to appreciate what the game did for me," said Hasek. "My goal was just to make the NHL, and achieving this recognition is far beyond what I could have imagined."
A native of Livonia, Michigan, Mike Modano played his Junior hockey with the Prince Albert Raiders of the WHL where he was drafted first overall in the 1988 NHL Entry Draft by the Minnesota North Stars franchise, with whom he played 21 of his 22 NHL seasons.Modano holds the NHL record for most goals (561) and points (1,374) by an American-born player. An Olympic silver medalist, he also led the Dallas Stars to the Stanley Cup in 1999.
"When I played I always hoped that I could make an impact on the game, both on and off the ice, and this honour recognizes that,"said Modano. "I love this game and as an American born player, I owe a lot to the people in Prince Albert who helped me take my game to the next level."
In the Builder Category, Pat Burns was elected. After a 17 year career as a police officer, Pat coached the Hull Olympiques of the QMJHL for four seasons. From there he progressed to the Sherbrooke Canadiens of the AHL in 1987. In 1988, he began his 14- year NHL coaching career with the Montreal Canadiens – winning the Jack Adams Award as the NHL's Coach of the Year in his first season. With a career .573 winning percentage, Pat also won the Stanley Cup with New Jersey in 2003. Pat passed away on November 19th, 2010 in Sherbrooke, Quebec.
"It's a great day for me and my family," said Lynn Burns (Pat's widow). "I'm speechless and tremendously happy. Pat would be proud and this is well-deserved."
In the Referee and Linesman category, Bill McCreary was elected. After playing Junior A hockey, Bill joined the NHL in 1984. He officiated 1,700 regular season NHL games and 282 NHL playoff games before ending his career on April 2nd, 2011 in Washington, D.C. Internationally, Bill worked the 1998 and 2002 Olympics, including the gold medal games at both tournaments.
"I was fortunate living in Guelph to be encouraged to get into officiating by some of the NHL greats that were involved in the game there, "said McCreary. "Just as with the players, being in the Stanley Cup Final is the goal of any official and I'm pleased that I was able to have that recognition on several occasions."
The 2014 Induction Celebration will be held on Monday, November 17th at the Hockey Hall of Fame in Toronto. For more information regarding the 2014 Induction Weekend/Celebration, visit http://www.hhof.com.
Established in 1943, the Hockey Hall of Fame's ("HHOF") mandate is to recognize and honour the achievements of players, builders and officials who bring special distinction to the game of hockey, and to collect, preserve, research and exhibit objects, images and resource materials connected with the game as it is played in Canada and throughout the world. As a non-profit corporation and a registered charity under the Income Tax Act, HHOF owns and operates a museum and place of entertainment offering state-of-the-art exhibits, multimedia presentations and educational programming from its premises at Brookfield Place, Toronto, Canada.

The hypocrisy of the largest sports bodies in the U.S. like the NBA is staggering. As we have reported in the last few years the NBA Commissioner Adam Silver has being doing verbal acrobatics that would not embarrass any seasoned politician. While at first stating their concern that legalized sports betting would corrupt the integrity of the games, he has since seen the light and said on various occasion that he believes that legalization is inevitable and it's best to go with the flow.
The latest update to their policy is even more eye opening as League Attorney Dan Spillane told New York Legislators that the NBA would have no problem with sports betting legalization as long as the NBA gets their cut.
According to their proposed legal framework for sports betting, gambling operators would have to pay a 1% "tax" on the total amount of money bet on games which would generate huge amounts of money for the NBA, NFL and other major sports leagues. Not to give the impression that the NBA were only concerned about getting a cut of the huge pie, Spillane also laid out other stipulations which they would require if they are to support a legal framework for sports betting in the U.S. These include protection against problem gambling, age restrictions and a framework that would allow leagues to restrict wagering on any of their events.
All eyes are on the Supreme Court who are mulling New Jersey's challenge to the federal ban on sports betting enacted under the Professional and Amateur Sports Protection Act of 1992.

Does it seem strange?

Ever Hopeful BoSox Mod
I can't remember a Spring Training camp for the Sox being so calm, so free of controversy. Sure, Manny showed up late, but unlike all the times Pedro came at his own pace, it wasn't made out to be an earthshattering drama. Wells has dropped his trade demand, so it seems that the biggest "drama" in camp is deciding who will be culled from the rotation and sent to the bullpen.
It's too calm. Something's weird. Something MUST be wrong, if Edes and Shaughnessy aren't having conniptions over something.
Or could it be, maybe, that everything's actually okay for a change?

Annie, what about Schilling's remarks about that Pittsburgh player he knocked down? I don't know if the Boston media has said much about it, but it seems to have caught attention from people outside of the Nation.
Otherwise, yeah, I agree it's been pretty quiet. Almost too quiet. . .
efin98
No news is good news. The worst story was Dave Wallace taking leave this year and Al Nipper taking over as pitching coach for him. That's it.
Boomer and Foulke are back but those are one day stories. Schilling has been keeping his mouth shut so no soundbites to exploit. Manny won't talk about the past year so there goes a series of collumns. Varitek, Timlin, and Ortiz are away at the WBC so there isn't any locker room strife stories.

It does seem quiet...it's kinda nice. I chalk it up to a few things:
1) The media and fans are still glowing enough from 2004 that every little thing isn't blown up to a HUGE deal all the time. I guess the writers have realized that the fans like reading good news, too!
2) Less controversy...yeah, Manny was late, but he showed up when he said he would, and since has been a quiet hitting machine. The media was TRYING to make the Wells thing a big thing, but nobody bit...when one of your 7 starters want a trade, and he's 42, it's not gonna drive anyone nuts whether he stays or goes.
3) Less big mouths in camp. Schilling is still here...but other than the hit-batter thing (which got blown out of proportion by the national media but didn't do much around here), he's been mostly trying to get himself ready. Maybe he realizes you're only as good as your last season, so he better put up and shut up. Also, guys like Millar and Damon, who never saw a mic or notebook they didn't love, and woudl comment on anything and everything aren't here...replaced by guys who seem more reserved and professional.

If it were Pedro pitching up and in, hitting a guy in the head and then telling him he should have gotten out of the way... the word "headhunter" would be prominent in the paper and on sports "talk" radio, don'tcha think? :radio

Well, Pedro has hit 119 hitters in 2500 career innings. Schilling has hit 47 in 2900 IP. Schilling hitting a guy, especially in spring training, is clearly an accident. With Pedro...who knows!

I think the point of Schilling's recent beanings is that he is, in effect, taking a cue from Pedro and Clemens. They hit so many batters because they pitch inside; something Schilling has been less inclined to do. This spring he announced he planned to reclaim the inside of the plate. Hit batsmen are a natural consequence.

Oh, certainly...Schilling has said that with a bit less zip on his fastball, he'll need to start pitching inside now.
I, for one, wouldn't be shocked if it came out that Schilling hit the two hitters on the head ON PURPOSE, or at least buzzed them high-and-tight on purpose...if everyone THINKS Schilling is going to hit them in the head, that's a HUGE advantage for him before he even throws a pitch.

I'm just hoping it's a good sign for a change that there won't be drama central going on.

New HIV Policy Lab uses law and policy data in the HIV response
UNAIDS
The HIV Policy Lab is a data visualization and comparison tool that tracks national policy across 33 different indicators in 194 countries around the world, giving a measure of the policy environment © UNAIDS
WASHINGTON, D.C./GENEVA, 29 September 2020---Despite decades of scientific advance in the HIV response, progress remains uneven, with some countries rapidly reducing AIDS-related deaths and new HIV infections and others seeing increasing epidemics. Laws and policies are driving a significant part of that divergence.
Launched today, the HIV Policy Lab is a unique initiative to gather and monitor HIV-related laws and policies around the world.
"Laws and policies are life or death issues when it comes to HIV. They can ensure access to the best that science has to offer and help people to realize their rights and live well, or they can be barriers to people's well-being. Like anything that matters, we need to measure the policy environment and work to transform it as a key part of the AIDS response," said Winnie Byanyima, UNAIDS Executive Director.
The HIV Policy Lab is a data visualization and comparison tool that tracks national policy across 33 different indicators in 194 countries around the world, giving a measure of the policy environment. The goal is to improve transparency, the ability to understand and use the information easily and the ability to compare countries, supporting governments to learn from their neighbours, civil society to increase accountability and researchers to study the impact of laws and policies on the HIV pandemic.
According to Matthew Kavanagh, Director of the Global Health Policy & Politics Initiative at Georgetown University's O'Neill Institute, "Policy is how governments take science to scale. If we want to improve how policy is used to improve health outcomes, it is essential to monitor and evaluate the policies that comprise it."
"Reducing stigma and making care easier to access are fundamental for improving the lives of people living with HIV---and those are all consequences of policy choices. Tracking these choices is a key tool for improving them, and ensuring justice and equity for people living with HIV," said Rico Gustav, Executive Director of the Global Network of People Living with HIV.
The HIV Policy Lab draws information from the National Commitments and Policy Instrument, legal documents, government reports and independent analyses to create data sets that can be compared across countries and across issues. The goal of the HIV Policy Lab is to help identify and address the gaps between evidence and policy and to build accountability for a more inclusive, effective, rights-based and science-based HIV policy response.
The HIV Policy Lab is a collaboration between Georgetown University and the O'Neill Institute for National and Global Health Law, UNAIDS, the Global Network of People Living with HIV and Talus Analytics.
About the Georgetown University O'Neill Institute for National and Global Health Law
The O'Neill Institute, housed at Georgetown University, was established to create innovative solutions to the most pressing national and international health concerns, with the essential vision that the law has been, and will remain, a fundamental tool for solving critical health problems. The Georgetown University Department of International Health is home to scholarship in public health, economics, political science, and medicine. Georgetown's Global Health Initiative serves as a university-wide platform for developing concrete solutions to the health challenges facing families and communities throughout the world.

Q: Module Not Found Error: No module named config I'm trying to run my project from terminal but I keep on getting ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'config'. The structure of my project is:
Project folder
   -config

   -folder1
     -folder2

While in folder1/folder2/ I run the script --> python3 -m pythonfile.py but I get the No module named config. The Run button from PyCharm works like charm but I want to run the script from terminal. Also I've checked the sys.path and I've got the root path of the project /home/name/Desktop/Project and the /home/name/Desktop/Project/folder1/folder2/.

A: Try adding current dir to PYTHONPATH.
PYTHONPATH is an environment variable which you can set to add additional directories where python will look for modules and packages.
This helped for me.
export PYTHONPATH=.

A: Installing it worked for me:
pip3 install config

A: This issue occurs because, the path to the file app_one is not in the current working path, you have to add it to the path using sys.path.append function, Check this code :
import sys
sys.path.append('../../')
import config

A: If you are using Python 3, run the following to install config.
sudo pip3 install config

A: after pip3 install config:
from config import config
      ImportError: cannot import name 'config' from 'config' (C:\Python310\lib\site-packages\config\__init__.py)

The DARK Act: You Slayed It—For Now!
Thanks to your tremendous and relentless pressure, you defeated the DARK Act today.
Let's hope it rests in peace. But if it doesn't, we're prepared, with your help, to engage in some fierce zombie slaying.
Not enough votes—yet
After all his posturing and bribing and coercing, Sen. Pat Roberts (R-Kan.) didn't have enough votes to pass S. 2609, or what we've all come to know as the DARK Act, the bill that would Deny Americans the Right to Know about GMOs.
This is an exciting preliminary victory. It's your victory.
Thank you to everyone who called your Senators and donated to the fight for our right to know! Now it's time to call those Senators who voted with us, and say thank you. Please click here to see how your Senators voted and then call the Capitol switchboard at 1-202-224-3121.
Here's a quick summary of the vote.
There were very few Democrats who voted for the DARK Act: Sen. Joe Donnelly (D-Ind.), Sen. Heidi Heitkamp (D-N.D.), and Sen. Tom Carper (D-Del.).
There were also a few Republicans who broke ranks: Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine), Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska), Sen. Dan Sullivan (R-Alaska) and Sen. Dean Heller (R-Nev.)
If these DARK Act opponents stay strong, they can defeat this bill, and Vermont's GMO labeling law will take effect on July 1.
Once Vermont's law takes effect, our movement will snowball, passing laws across the country and forcing food companies to give every American our right to know about GMOs. We'll finally have mandatory food labels requiring the words "produced with genetic engineering" to be printed on the package.
What compromise lurks?
Unfortunately, an uncompromising win is far from guaranteed. There is still the danger that pro-GMO Democrats will decide to stab us in the back.
Politico reports that Sen. Debbie Stabenow (D-Mich.) is floating an alternative to the DARK Act. While the text of the proposal has not been made available, reporter Jenny Hopkinson says Stabenow's sponsorship of the measure could provide" enough cover" for Democrats to vote to preempt state GMO labeling laws.
What exactly that "cover" looks like has yet to be revealed. Mandatory QR codes? Toll-free numbers? Whatever it is, you can bet it will preempt Vermont.
What's next, and when?
After the vote on the DARK Act failed today, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) flipped his vote from yes to no. He's on the DARK side for sure, but this was just a procedural maneuver that allows the Senate to bring an amended version of the DARK Act back into the realm of the "un-dead."
How soon could the DARK Act be resurrected? As early as this week, or perhaps in two weeks, after the Senate returns from its recess.
We need to stay strong and unite around this message to the Senate:
1. GMOs should be labeled 'Produced with Genetic Engineering' using words on the package. Anything less is unacceptable.
2. QR codes, symbols and acronyms would hide information about GMOs from people who aren't in the know. Any "solution" requiring a smart phone discriminates against people who don't have smart phones.
3. The people of Vermont shouldn't have to wait for the food companies to voluntarily label GMOs or for the federal government to write regulations. Vermont's GMO labeling law must be allowed to take effect on July 1.
4. There are real concerns about the safety of GMOs, especially as more than 99 percent of the GMO crops grown in the world today are engineered to increase our exposure to pesticides like Monsanto's Roundup, which the World Health Organization says is a probable carcinogen.
Meanwhile, we at OCA thank you for all of your hard work, and your tremendous financial support—support that has brought us to today's victory.
It's critical that we remain vigilant. And it's important to reach out and thank those Senators who voted for consumers, not Monsanto, today. Please click here to see how your Senators voted and then call the Capitol switchboard at 1-202-224-3121.

UAE's Diversity and Multiculturalism, Discussed By Those Who Live it Everyday
by Naheed Ifteqar
Video View Count
Do not alter this value.
With more than 200 nationalities living harmoniously in the UAE, and tolerance being one of its most important pillars, the nation truly sets itself apart from the rest. To the country, the concept of tolerance is not a new one introduced as a solution to modern-day issues, but one that is rooted deep in its foundation, and held in high regard by the late HH Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan, UAE's founding father. These values are upheld to this day and reflected in the country's various projects, especially the multi-faith complex of the Abrahamic Family House where a mosque, church, and synagogue will open come 2022.
To highlight this very facet of the UAE on the occasion of its 50th anniversary, which will also be celebrated at the Ball of Arabia on December 12, Vogue Arabia enlisted a few of those who experience and live the country's multiculturalism day-to-day. Filipino entrepreneur, and co-founder of Fashion Forward Dubai and Brag, Bong Guerrero, Syrian-Palestinian singer-songwriter Carla Saad, Emirati entrepreneur Anas Bukhash, and Columbia-raised Luz Vilamil, deputy director of Cinema Akil, sat down for a candid discussion on UAE's diversity, and everything that makes the nation their home.
While Vilamil describes the UAE as a "safe space where different cultures can coexist," a well-traveled Bukhash states that UAE's inclusivity is incomparable to most major places in the world. "It is one thing to mix people together, and it's another that they get along," he says. Guerrero adds that in a country where he has lived for 31 years, he cannot possibly be considered a guest. He attributes it to the policies, infrastructure, and practices that the UAE has brought on to ensure that the expats do not feel alienated. "I think over the decades there has been a shift in thinking," Guerrero continues. For Saad, it is clear that the UAE's unity comes from the fact that "the UAE puts its people at the heart of everything." She says, "Everyone is taken care of as if they were UAE's child."

US shutdown breaks all-time record
By Michael Daventry • last updated: 12/01/2019
The US government shutdown is now officially the longest on record after 22 days elapsed without a funding agreement.
Around a quarter of the federal government remains out of operation, with 800,000 employees unpaid for more than three weeks.
Their first monthly salary payment was missed on Friday as a result of the shutdown, triggered by President Donald Trump's plans to use federal government funds for a wall on the United States's southern border with Mexico.
"The easy solution is for me to call a national emergency. I could do that very quickly," Trump said during a White House event on border security.
"I have the absolute right to do it. But I'm not going to do it so fast. Because this is something Congress should do."
But the Democrats, who control the House of Representatives, are equally determined not to provide the money.
On Friday, the House voted 240-179 to restore funding for the Interior Department and the Environmental Protection Agency, two of the agencies that have been closed since December 22.
But the measures are unlikely to be approved by the Senate, which is controlled by Mr Trump's Republicans.
The shutdown is now the longest in US history, surpassing the 21-day closure that began during Bill Clinton's presidency in 1995.
Many furloughed federal employees have taken to the streets to protest their situation.
In Miami, an entire airport terminal will be closed this weekend because of a shortage of security workers.
They are classed as essential employees and required to work, but many are calling in sick to protest the situation.
There are also reports of food banks being set up to help those workers now struggling to pay their bills.
Volunteers rallied to pack bags of food, while some federal employees were seen selling their possessions using websites like eBay to raise funds for themselves.

Amid shutdown, some lawmakers refuse pay in solidarity with federal workers

J. W. Snider
To the Editor of the Tribune: Having seen the editorial in the Sun of the 5th, I wish to reply in the following manner:
In the first place, we have a pure food and dairy law which fully covers my business, and the state dairy inspector has called on me twice in the last year and made analyses of my products, and at one time gave a milk test of 4.2 percent and the other time 4.4 percent butterfat, and as the law only requires 3.2 percent, which shows that I am giving my customers the pure, fresh milk as it comes from the cows without any adulteration. I will pay to any person the sum of $500 who will take milk off from my wagons at any time and have same analyzed by competent authority who finds the same adulterated in the slightest manner. I have furnished parties in this city who have young babies who will gladly give testimony that their children have done nicely on the milk and will state that in some cases they even found the milk too rich. I am in no position to state what class of milk my competitors are selling, but hardly think they lay themselves [omission] competent authority who finds some adulterating their goods, and while we have a state law protecting the people against the sale of adulterated milk, I would not object in the least for this city to pass an ordinance conforming with the state laws, and further, at any time that the city health officer would like to test the products of my dairy he is welcome to do so, and remember, my offer of $500 holds good.
I also ask any officials or individuals to come and visit my dairy at any time, and I will show them around.

MILK ROUTE EXTENDED.
The Medford Dairy, J. W. Snider, proprietor, has decided to extend its milk route to cover all of that portion of the city of Medford lying east of Bear Creek bridge, and hereafter Mr. Snider will serve customers in any part of that territory, as well as other parts of Medford. Mr. Snider guarantees the milk from his dairy to be pure, sanitary and fresh. The milk furnished is highly recommended as an excellent baby food. Phone Pacific 201-J3; or Home 285-M.
Medford Mail Tribune, December 23, 1911, page B8
200,000 Bottles of Milk a Year
The Medford Dairy, owned and operated by J. W. Snider, is doing its utmost to keep the stride with Medford.
Mr. Snider came here eight years ago from Ohio, and has been giving the people of Medford the best milk that good Durham and Jersey cows can give.
He has sixty cows that are well groomed every day. They are all healthy and kept so by the good attention they receive. Swinging stanchions have lately been installed, which adds greatly to their comfort.
He has all modern apparatus such as filter, cooler, bottle filler, etc. The utensils are all heated to 170 degrees before using. Sanitary tickets and caps are used, thus preventing disease being carried from one home to another. The milk is conveyed to the bottle room and cooled to 52 degrees shortly after being milked. All these have helped Mr. Snider to get the best score of any dairy in the valley.
Three wagons delivered over two hundred thousand bottles of milk and cream in 1912. Two deliveries are made daily, delivering milk, cream, skim milk and buttermilk to any part of the city.
Mr. Snider wishes to thank the people for their patronage and says that 1913 will find him doing as he has done in the past, giving to the people the best. He invites the public to visit his dairy, located one-half mile west of Medford.

Story of a Medford Dairyman
By A. D. Cridge in [the] Portland Journal.
MEDFORD, Ore., Dec. 13.--One of the most successful men in Jackson County is J. W. Snider, the dairyman of Medford. He and his wife came to Oregon nine years ago from Columbus, O., with a capital of $800, for which they had both worked hard. He was 30 years old and she 21. They rented 14 acres of land and started in the dairying business with two cows. Everybody was going into fruit at that time, but Snider and his wife took to cows, supplemented with chickens, turkeys and pigs. The 14 acres soon became too small to feed his cows, and the firm of Snider & Wife bought feed and began to deliver milk to the hotels in a wagon.
"My wife," says Snider, "is the best milker in Oregon. At different times when I was detained on business she milked 50 cows herself. Any man who milks 25 cows at a milking is a good hand. She can do it, and has milked 50 on a pinch more than once.
"Our first big contract was to supply the dining cars on the railroad. We had to buy milk and cream to keep it up. We had to buy cows, too, and that took our savings. When we left that place after eight years we had saved up $10,500, but for a while we had to buy cows and machinery and feed. We contracted for whole fields of carrots and I bought hay from one man one year that came to $20,000. Chickens? Well, we got out of the chicken business after a while, but we made some money from them. One time a sudden demand was made on us for 30 roasting fowls. It was near midnight when we started out to levy on our neighbors, for we had none to spare of our own. We went different ways, she with a buckboard and I on horseback. We got those chickens into Medford by 3 in the morning, and were up all night, as there was milking to do when we got home."
Big Place Now.
Now the Sniders have rented the W. H. Gore place of 640 acres and have 150 cows and 75 young heifers. Last summer they sold 800 tons of hay from their 360 acres of alfalfa and kept about the same amount for feed. This ranch is rented for $10,000 a year. It is the biggest rent for other than a fruit farm in Southern Oregon. The value of the dairy products sold by the Sniders will pass $36,000 this year. Their dairy herd is a cross of Durham with Jersey. They have a few Holsteins.
As part of the business are 150 hogs, Duroc Jersey crossed with Poland China. There are also 200 turkeys being prepared for the holidays.
"I was raised on a farm," said Mr. Snider, "and a good farm, and my father was a good farmer. When I was 21 he gave me a horse and buggy and $100, and I worked on one farm for five years. When we married and came west we chose Medford out of all the towns we heard of, and have never felt dissatisfied. We never raised any fruit. I have loaned money to some fruit men and have some loaned out now. This fruit business never interested me much. When we came here people were selling their cows to put in fruit trees on their pasture land. We bought them--all we could. The fruit men did well, or at least lots of them have. It never seemed in my line. I saved money working for $15 a month on an Ohio farm, and afterwards as guard in a state orphan asylum. Some of my men say they can't save money on $35 to $50 a month.
"My wife keeps the books and draws all the checks and pays all the bills. She knows all about the business. I look after every detail of the dairy to see that all is done right. The dairy inspector can't come too often to my place. We learn something from him every time he comes around, and we are always ready for him.
Mr. Snider is not an old-looking, toil-work-appearing man, but an active business man in the prime of life, justly proud of his success but giving full credit to the junior member of the firm. He employs from 10 to 35 persons on his place.
The milking begins at 2:30 in the morning, and milk is put on the delivery wagons in time to reach the customers for breakfast. Three wagons and an automobile are used for the Medford trade.
"Why do you not buy a farm instead of renting?" was asked.
"Well, we never had money enough to buy land and cows at the same time, and so it always looks as if renting was the only [way]. We had to have cows. I need 300 cows on that ranch now. It does not pay to raise feed to sell; or at least it pays better to feed it out to cows, hogs and stock. The ranch is rented on a basis of less than six percent of its actual value, and cows net more than that on their cost. Perhaps we will buy a ranch of our own, and if we do it will be in Southern Oregon. The lease is for 10 years, however. Two of my brothers have got fine farms in Ohio. We all liked farming."

New FDA-Approved Cancer-Killing Virus Is Released
A new virus has been approved by the Federal Drug Administration (FDA) to treat cancer, especially in patients with stage three melanoma. The new treatment called Imlygic was developed by Amgen, a biotechnology company.
"Today's approval extends its use to patients who are at high risk of developing recurrence of melanoma after surgery," said the director of the Office of Hematology and Oncology Products in the FDA's Center for Drug Evaluation and Research, Dr. Richard Pazdur. "This new use of the drug in earlier stages of the disease builds on our understanding of the immune system's interaction with cancer."
It's the first of its kind, being a live virus that's infectious and also approved for use to treat cancer. It works by attacking cancer cells when the human virus-fighting machinery typically shuts down.
"Today's approval marks the first new FDA-approved adjuvant option in 20 years," said the executive director of the Melanoma Research Foundation, Dr. Tim Turnham. "This approval means stage three melanoma patients have a powerful new tool to help prevent their disease from progressing."
"What this really is, in the end, is proof of concept," said John Bell, a cancer researcher at the Ottawa Hospital Research Institute. Bell helped to create the treatment.
"It's a totally new class of weapons that we can now use," said Antonio Chiocca, a neurosurgeon at Brigham and Women's Hospital. In fact, the virus is a manipulated version of the herpesvirus, which infects cancer cells and bursts them into tiny particles. "The immune system sees all the debris. This makes the immune system wake up and say, 'Hey, there's something going on here. Let's check it out."
Imlygic has taken the oncology world by storm because it has overcome the issues associated with injecting a live virus into the human body and helps the patient's immune system join the fight versus the cancer cells.
Creating the virus was no easy feat. Trying to not cause cold sores and not infect healthy cells while developing a protein to boost the immune system was challenging. But now, a dozen or more clinical trials for even more anti-cancer viruses are underway.
Bell is researching with a virus related to smallpox and Duke scientists are using a poliovirus. Oncolytics Biotech is experimenting with a reovirus.
Howard Kaufman, an oncologist at Rutgers Cancer Institute of New Jersey, said the virus "suffers from an acute lack of understanding the science behind it." For example, researchers wonder if the immune system kicks in and kills just the cancer cells or others as well, and if it can identify them regardless of where they're located in the body.
Although Imlygic hasn't proved amazing survival rates for patients, its side effects are super mild, and when used in combination with other treatments, it can be very effective. These other drugs are checkpoint inhibitors, which help to stimulate the immune system.
