Sushi Garage Shows its Work
Toby Weber
This Miami eatery uses thoughtful design to emphasize the craftsmanship of its food.
Sushi Garage worked with its vendor to develop custom-made, rechargeable LED table lamps that are designed to hold soy sauce and a potted herb.In 2013, the James Beard Award for Best Restaurant Design: 76 Seats and Over went to Juvia. Located on the top floor of a building in Miami Beach, the restaurant features an eclectic menu, ultra-modern design and sweeping views of the city.
The team behind Juvia, interior designer Alejandro Barrios and owners Jonas and Alexandra Millán, opened their second Miami Beach operation late last year. This restaurant, Sushi Garage, is a very different type of place.
While Juvia's menu features adventurous fare, Sushi Garage focuses on traditional Japanese cooking that showcases sushi's craftsmanship. And while Juvia has an eye-popping modern look, Sushi Garage has a warm yet hip design intended to match the menu, says Barrios. "Sushi is a type of food that is made with your hands. It's a very crafty process. So from day one, we knew we wanted to use materials that transmit that feeling, that this is a handmade place just as the food is," he says.
Garage to Restaurant
The booths and wall paneling are made of oak wood, while plants along the wall add color and nature inside the restaurant.Sushi Garage is part of the up-and-coming Miami neighborhood of Sunset Harbor. Up until a few years ago, the area was very blue-collar, filled with warehouses, storage units and, not surprisingly, auto mechanics. Sushi Garage's space, in fact, was a repair shop before the project team parked a restaurant there. "The first time we saw it, there were even platforms to lift up the cars," Millán recalls.
Not only did the building's previous tenant influence the restaurant's name, it also impacted the design. Most obvious is the garage bay door, which Barrios chose to keep in place. Instead of using the door's metal panels, though, he swapped in glass panels with aluminum frames. Controlled by an automatic opener, staff raises the door on nights when the weather allows it. The storefront also consists of a glass door and floor-to-ceiling windows, giving Sushi Garage a very strong presence from the street.
For both passersby and customers, there's no one design element that intrusively demands attention; an over-the-top design choice would run against the theme of craftsmanship. Similarly, the restaurant uses a simple and warm color palette with different shades of gray, off-white and green. Diners also see plenty of natural oak, which is visible on the tables, chairs, booths and wall paneling.
Walking into the operation, customers see a sushi bar along the back wall, a bar serving alcohol to the left, booths (elevated one step) to the right, and table seating — mostly two- and four-tops — in the center of the room and running up against the front windows.
The bar's shelving installation consists of oak planks held in place by water pipes. Wooden beams overhead add intimacy to the space.If Sushi Garage has a signature design touch, though, diners won't find it to the left, right or middle. Instead, they'll have to look up. There, they'll find nearly 200 metal koi sculptures,
in greens and guava, suspended from the ceiling.
According to Barrios, the fish fill a practical need. The Sushi Garage space has 16-foot ceilings — another remnant of the days when it was an actual garage. That was simply too much empty space overhead. The fish help bring the room to a more familiar scale while also emphasizing the style of cuisine.
Originally, notes Millán, the design team thought of suspending origami fish from the ceiling. A few phone calls, though, revealed that it would take a master origamist four days to fold a single fish. Multiply that by 200, and it would have been impossible to pull off, to say nothing of getting approval from the fire marshal to hang hundreds of pieces of paper from the ceiling. The design team eventually chose a metal sculptor from Venezuela to handle the project.
With floor-to-ceiling windows, including windows on a garage bay door, Sushi Garage makes a strong impression on passersby.While the fish are naturally eye-catching, the installation is made even more impressive by how it's lit. To enclose the space, the designers used wooden beams that hang over the bar and the booth seating. They then attached spotlights to the top of the beams and pointed them at the fish. The fish and their shadows, along with their slight HVAC-induced swaying, give guests the impression that they're "looking up from the bottom of a fishbowl," Barrios says.
Custom Made, Custom Look
While the fish are impressive, just as much thought and care went into other, more understated design elements.
Start with the table lamps. The operation relies on these lamps instead of overhead chandeliers or light fixtures. Those would make the space feel much too formal, says Millán.
Rather than going with an off-the-shelf lamp, Millán wanted something that was functional (holding soy sauce, dipping dishes and a potted herb) and that looked and felt handmade. Working with their vendor, the design team developed a rechargeable LED unit with a base, two pillars and the LEDs on top.
While the chairs are from a factory, their wicker backs and leather-strapped armrests make them feel handmade.The flooring was another custom order. Barrios and their tile vendor designed a gray, Cuban-style custom cement tile with geometric shapes that look like the scales of a fish.
While the tile and other custom touches like the lamps came with significant costs, they were worth the money, says Millán. "We tried to avoid the custom-made because of course it's more expensive, but I believe in the whole process, there are certain pieces you have to give in for. There are certain elements that are going to make a bigger difference in the final product, things you couldn't achieve with an off-the-shelf solution."
One piece that looks custom but is actually manufactured is the chair specified for the two- and four-top tables. This was actually one of the first design elements selected for the restaurant. "It is a work of art," says Barrios. "I always ask this question: If this restaurant was a chair, what chair would it be." Indeed, the chair communicates a lot about the operation. It has two skinny legs, which are reminiscent of chopsticks. Wicker covers the chairback, while the arms have straps made of leather — materials that convey the idea of handmade.
The stools at the bar have a similar look, with long, chopstick-like legs and green seats. The oak-clad bar features a porcelain top. Behind the bar, Barrios developed a creative liquor display: oak shelves framed by metal water pipes, emphasizing the idea of the work that takes place in the restaurant.
Guests will find some of the same design elements at the sushi bar, where they can enjoy their meal while watching trained chefs assemble rolls and nigiri. This space uses the same stools as the bar where alcohol is served and has similar shelving, namely oak shelves suspended by plumbing pipes. These shelves hold plates as well as potted herbs. According to Barrios, sushi chefs will actually pick and use these herbs in the course of their work, showcasing to customers the craftsmanship behind the food. While that alone is a fun, thoughtful touch, there's much more going on in this area.
According to Barrios, the operators wanted to locate the production kitchen, where staff prepares hot menu items like fried rice, chicken teriyaki and miso maple sea bass, in the immediate vicinity of the sushi bar. In addition, they wanted a display kitchen to impart life and energy to the operation.
These two goals, notes Barrios, seemed to conflict. "The open kitchen generates a lot of heat. The heat is not friends with the sushi. You need a partition. For that partition, we didn't want a solid wall. So how do you have the best of both worlds? You make an opening for a window."
This isn't just a pass-thru, however. To properly insulate the sushi from the hot kitchen, the designers placed a pane of glass in the opening, creating an actual window. Having fire against glass adds extra flair to the design. It also, adds Barrios, creates a cleaning challenge, with bits of grease dirtying the window during practically every shift. The operators anticipated this, however, and have committed to cleaning the window at least once per day.
Custom Challenges
While the placement of the open kitchen presented a design challenge, simply building a kitchen in this facility was also a hurdle.
Typically, a kitchen's mechanical, electrical and plumbing (MEP) run beneath the building's concrete slab. Structurally, though, the building couldn't handle having its slab cut open. The design team figured out an MEP plan that could work with less than two inches of space. Barrios had the contractors pour an extra two inches of concrete flooring in the kitchen to handle the MEP.
Other big challenges came from the use of custom design elements, like the floor tile and table lamps. While custom products contribute greatly to Sushi Garage, they also required a lot of effort and carried some unavoidable risk.
The project timeline, for instance, didn't allow the design team to have a final prototype of the table lamps before they were ordered. Instead, they relied on video conference calls and samples of material shipped overnight. While Millán was happy with the end product, this part of the project could have turned out very differently.
The fish scale tiles presented another challenge: When the final product shipped to the jobsite, the construction team found that the tiles had been destroyed in transit. A new set had to be made from scratch and took several weeks to arrive, complicating the construction schedule, says Barrios.
In the end, though, the design team was able to overcome issues surrounding the facility's build-out and the design elements they specified. The result is a truly beautiful operation in which the design emphasizes the quality of work performed in the kitchen.
"You need to feel the craftsmanship in the restaurant," Millán says. "We wanted everything that you touch, that's in the reach of the client, to feel that it was crafted like Japanese food. Japanese food, it's just the product and the craftsmanship — the way you cut the fish, the way you cook it...We wanted to transmit that feeling through the design." +

Highways - Road construction in the Canadian province of Alberta is booming on the back of a new economic boom. Adrian Greeman reports.
The big truck slowly spreading a load of Canadian 'dirt' through its belly dump doors is large enough for comparisons with dinosaurs.
It certainly dwarfs the houses alongside the alignment for the new Calgary ring road where it is working.
'Actually it is not really so large compared to the big mining trucks up on the oil sands, ' says Alan Dixon, urban construction engineer from the Alberta Province Infrastructure & Transportation department, which is client for the project.
'But it is pretty big for construction work.' The job in question is the rst stage of a new ring highway for the city, famous for its summer 'Stampede', a legacy of cattle ranching times, and in modern times for its oil industry.
The 'Houston of the North' is booming again these days as the oil price rises, especially because the oil bearing sand deposits in the north of the province have suddenly become a lot more viable than in the past (NCEI September).
Infrastructure throughout Alberta is getting a boost with a number of major highway projects underway, including a new ring road for the provincial capital Edmonton, upgrades to the highway into the oil sands areas further north and the new peripheral highway around Calgary.
'We need the expansion up there, ' says Dixon, 'because we have had some massive pieces of equipment going up there and it is only a single lane each way.' The Calgary road has been in planning for a much longer period as a relief route for the city. Currently trucks on the long continental journey along the Trans-Canadian highway have to pass through the city. It causes congestion, says Dixon, particularly because the highway within the city is 'really only a wider city street with numerous traffic lights and junctions'.
The road has been split into four quadrants, with the first section on the north west currently under construction, the northeast ready to go ahead and the southern sections still in planning. The three later sections will probably be built using what the Canadians refer to as P3s, or public private partnership schemes, but the first 30km or so is being done conventionally.
'In fact we have split the work down into a number of fairly small packages, ' says Dixon, adding that this is to keep the contracts tight in timescale, allowing contractors to come in and do a fairly fast job and then leave again.
'That shorter timescale is important at the moment because we have a severe shortage in labour and materials, ' he explains. 'Smaller contracts give the contractors the exibility to move onto other work. They don't have to lock up resources.' The whole of western Canada has been feeling the impact of the oil sands expansion.
Exceptionally high wages are drawing in skilled and unskilled labour alike and it is often difficult to find people for basic trades and labour. It makes the job of the ordinary contractor that much harder.
One spinoff has been the high proportion of women now finding work in construction.
On the Calgary project 20% of truck drivers and operators are women.
As well as keeping contracts small the various elements of the work have also been separated out by the client with earth moving, structures and paving all let as separate contracts. Values are in the range of C$20MC$50M (ú18M to ú44.6M).
Bridge and interchange design is being handled by Edmonton consultant Stantec. But like the contracting, design has also been split and the earthworks and paving are being designed and supervised by consultant UMA, part of the AECOM group.
Design is not exceptionally complex. 'We try to keep the bridges relatively simple. We have a lot of space out here on the prairies and land take is not an exceptionally difficult constraint. It is more cost effective to shift an alignment rather than build expensive bridges and crossings.' Biggest of the bridges therefore is only 170m total length with three spans to cross a single track railway.
But though this is prairie it does not have the dead at landscape of the central provinces. Calgary is close to the Rocky Mountains and undulations persist which have to be evened out for the road line.
Two muck shifting contracts are underway, creating the major activity on the project as several dozen large scale trucks, bulldozers and excavators roar up and down. First of the jobs on the western end was for some 5Mm 3 of muck shift, which is about 90% nished. The other for around 3.5Mm¦ is about 50% complete.
Paving will begin next year under a single contract along the whole 22km length. Road construction is fairly simple with a 450mm base layer of 20mm compacted aggregate underlying a 150mm thick asphaltic concrete layer.
The state traditionally use a two pass system with a second 110mm thick layer added two years after initial completion.
'It allows time to see if there are any aws or settlement, ' explains Dixon.

Mexico has created the conditions to notably boost the country's collective health, the National Population Council (CONAPO) said Tuesday.
This is reflected in longer life expectancy; between 1970 and 2010, people now live an average of 14.8 years longer, CONAPO said in a press release. Today, Mexicans live on average 75.4 years. Women live an average of 77.8 years, while men reach 73.1 years.
According to the objectives of the United Nations' Millennium Development Goals on Population and Development, by 2005 countries must have had a life expectancy greater than 70 years and increase this number to 75 years by 2015.
All 31 states and the Federal District met the 2005 goal, while 24 states have already boosted life expectancy to 75 years. By 2015, all states will have achieved the UN goal, CONAPO said.
Demographic transitions have been accompanied by a shift in the type of most common illnesses. Diabetes and hypertension, before associated with industrialized countries, are now commonplace in Mexico, CONAPO said.
Still, however, some people in Mexico are prone to infectious diseases and premature deaths. In urban areas, environmental problems, stress, sedentarism, violence, and chronic or immune-system diseases, such as tuberculosis and HIV-AIDS, are more prevalent, CONAPO said. Between 1980 and 2005, infant mortality dropped 68 percent, from 52.6 deaths to 16.8 deaths for every 1,000 babies born. That figure has dropped further, to 14.2 deaths per 1,000, CONAPO said.

Best White Birds With Long Necks – A List For The Interested
White birds, particularly ones with long necks, are some of the most commonly seen birds throughout North and South America. These birds may all share gleaming white feathers, but their characteristics vary greatly from each other.
While you may be familiar with white birds with long necks, such as the Stork or the Swan, there are also a few others worth knowing. In this article, you'll explore 6 of these birds while learning about their unique characteristics and traits.
Great egret (Ardea alba)
White birds come in all shapes and sizes. Some are the size of crows, while others have bodies larger than the size of a football. Sometimes, the size of these birds doesn't always correlate with their body weight, as birds must be lightweight in order to fly.
The sound of a bird depends on its size, beak, and behavior. All birds have distinct sounds that allow them to communicate with other members of their species. While some birds may have a high-pitched squeal, others have a loud, low squawk.
You'll find that many birds, especially white birds with long necks, tend to live in wet areas near sources of water. Sometimes, these birds prefer swamps and wetlands, while others prefer more vast bodies of water such as lakes, rivers, and oceans.
The Great Egret is an elegant bird with a slim body and long neck. This beautiful white bird also has a slim, pointed yellow beak that shines against its white feathers.
Family: Ardeidae
Wingspan: 51.6 – 57.1 in
Body: S-curved Neck
Tail: Short
Diet: Small fish
Habitat: Freshwater and saltwater wetlands.
Song: Dry, Nasal, Harsh, Croaking
You can find this bird in many parts of both North and South America. These birds are known for hunting for food throughout the marshy wetlands, eating any small fish or insects they can find.

Egret Symbolism: How This Flawless Bird Urges You To Embrace Yours
Snowy egret (Egretta thula)
The Snowy Egret gets their name from their glacier-white wings. These slender birds can be identified by their snowy wings and slim bodies, soaring throughout the skies of Northern America and parts of South America.
Wingspan: 41 in
Body: Short and slim
Diet: Fish, shrimp, crayfish, crabs, snakes, snails, insects, and small lizards.
Habitat: Marshes, lakes, coasts, ponds.
Song: Nasal sounds, loud, harsh.
Currently, the Snowy Egret is critically endangered, and efforts to preserve these birds are in effect. Their population declined due to being poached and hunted for their wings, often popular choices for women's hats.

Trumpeter swan (Cygnus buccinator)
The trumpeter swan is one of the most beautiful and elegant birds native to North America. These birds have long been a symbol of grace, and beauty, often being associated with love and relationships.
Wingspan: 53 – 98 inches
Weight: 7.7 – 30 lb
Body: Long s-curve neck, large, thick body.
Tail: Short, Upward structure
Diet: Plants, Molluscs, Insects
Habitat: Rivers, Lakes
Song: Deep, "OH" sound, Nasal
Trumpeter Swans are known for sticking with their mates for life. Some swans will even remain independent after their mate passes.
They are also one of the largest flying birds and are able to fly at great heights due to their lightweight, honeycomb-like bone structures.

Whooping crane (Grus americana)
The Whooping Crane is a large, majestic bird with an impressive wingspan. It's a rare sight to see a Whooping Crane soaring overhead, and truly a sight to see if you are lucky enough to experience it.
Family: Gruidae
Wingspan: 7.5 ft
Body: Slender, Long skinny legs.
Tail: Medium downward
Diet: Small fish, insects, reptiles, amphibians.
Habitat: Wetlands, Wet Prairies, Marshes
Song: Loud whooping sounds.
In the 1940s, the Whooping Crane's population declined to around 20 birds. Fortunately, conservation efforts have allowed their population to slowly climb to a much more manageable amount.
The Whooping Crane is also the tallest bird in North America due to their long, slender legs.

White stork (Ciconia ciconia)
As a child, you may have been told that the Stork is responsible for bringing newborns to their families. While these birds may not actually deliver babies, they are one of the most giant birds in North America.
Family: Ciconiidae
Wingspan: 5 – 7ft
Weight: 5 – 10lb
Body: Compact body, Medium curved neck.
Tail: Long, downward, black feathers.
Diet: Fish, Frogs, Snakes, Rodents, Lizards, Crustaceans, Spiders, Scorpions
Habitat: Grassland, Freshwater, Wetlands, Savanna
Song: Loud, Nasal, Donkey-like
Storks have the ability to live up to 30 years on average, and there are instances of these birds living close to 40 years old. While storks do have a loud, nasally sound, most of the time, these birds are silent and communicate much quieter than other birds.

Also, check out this video for an in-depth look into the Stork's story and association with where babies come from.
The Symbolism Of The Stork
American white ibis (Eudocimus albus)
The White Ibis is a medium-small bird, about the size of a crow. When they spread their wings, they appear to have black fingers guiding them along their flight.
Family: Threskiornithidae
Wingspan: 3 ft
Body: Medium-sized, straight neck, downward turned beak.
Tail: Short and straight.
Diet: Crayfish, crabs, frogs, snails, small fish, insects.
Habitat: Marshes, mudflats, swamps, rice fields, lagoons.
Song: Nasal honk, throaty murmurs.
The appearance of this bird is strikingly unique. Most of their body is covered in white feathers, but their legs and face appear bright red-orange. The black fingers are just one of the many traits that make the White Ibis special.
These birds are known for wading in shallow waters, usually in groups of other Ibises.

Here we will be comparing the UMIDIGI A3 and the Xiaomi Redmi 6A. Both devices are entry-level devices which are targeted at the mass market. The UMIDIGI A3 series are made with the latest flagship design and functional features.
The Xiaomi Redmi 6A, on the other hand, comes with a capable Snapdragon processor and other key features which will be highlighted in this comparison. Let's see which device offers the best value for money.
Unlike Redmi 6A featuring a plastic back & frame, we make the entry-level beast UMIDIGI A3 shining like a flagship with Double-sided 2.5D Curved Glass & Metal Frame.
UMIDIGI A3 is equipped with the Bottom Box Speaker providing exquisite music, rather than the back speaker of Redmi 6A, therefore when your A3 is laying on it's back, the speaker won't be covered and you can still hear the full sound.
In addition, both UMIDIGI A3 and Redmi 6A apply Dual SIM + Dedicated Micro-SD Slot, so UMIDIGI A3 supports simultaneous use of two SIM cards and a microSD card for data storage(up to 256GB expandable storage).
Both UMIDIGI A3 and Redmi 6A use an 18:9 Full-Screen display. Thanks to In-cell technology, UMIDIGI A3 adopts an advanced display screen with a narrower bezel, clearer images and text(compared with Redmi 6A with the out-cell display technology). Also, the In-cell technology reduces the thickness of the screen for UMIDIGI A3 which make more space for a larger battery, 3300mAh for UMIDIGI A3 while 3000mAh for Redmi 6A.
The UMIDIGI A3 is equipped with a quad-core MT6739 chipset while the Xiaomi Redmi 6a packs an Octa-core 12nm process's Helio A22. Hence, the performance of Redmi 6a is better than the UMIDIGI A3.
While the Redmi 6A packs a single 13MP rear camera with F/2.2 aperture, the UMIDIGI A3 uses a 12MP+5MP Dual Camera setup, with F/2.0 the larger aperture, 1.25 μm large pixels, thus the UMIDIGI A3 should be capable of some background blurring shots.
Support both Face Unlock and Fingerprint Scanner for double security, UMIDIGI A3 can better protect your privacy. However, Redmi 6A even doesn't have a fingerprint sensor so it can support face unlock only.
UMIDIGI A3 is priced at $79.99 while the Redmi 6A is priced at $100 for Redmi 6A. Overall, the UMIDIGI A3 offers more value for your money but depends on your preference for each of the brand. However, which model do you prefer, UMIDIGI A3 or Redmi 6A? Tell us your opinion in comments.

Should the Koch Brothers Own The Los Angeles Times and Other Tribune Newspapers?

By Jackie Tortora/AFL-CIO Blog
Some say the press is the fourth branch of government. It serves as a "check and a balance" to our elected and non-elected leaders and informs the public of news for the greater good. But what if that was compromised by a corporate power grab?
That's exactly what the panel "Should the Koch Brothers Own The Tribune Newspapers?" will examine next Wednesday at the National Press Club in Washington, D.C. As we've covered on the blog before, David and Charles Koch have expressed interest in buying the Los Angeles Times, the Chicago Tribune, The Baltimore Sun and other leading newspapers owned by the Tribune Co.
The Koch brothers also have financed conservative and libertarian causes and founded an advocacy group called Americans for Prosperity, whose stated goals are to limit government, cut taxes and eliminate regulations. Will the Koch brothers' ownership of newspapers impact fair and objective news coverage?
AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka said in a statement:
It is hard to imagine how the Tribune newspapers would continue to provide quality, independent journalism to the communities they serve if they were under the control of the Koch brothers. As reported by the New York Times, the Kochs' political strategy includes changing the way the media covers conservative causes. We need newspapers that are dedicated to providing objective and high-quality reporting, not another Fox-news style propaganda machine.
Panelists tackling this discussion are Ryan Grim, The Huffington Post Washington bureau chief; John Nichols, a Washington correspondent at The Nation; Christopher Assaf, video editor at The Baltimore Sun; and Lena Williams, retired senior writer of The New York Times.
The panel will be live-streamed on the AFL-CIO website at www.aflcio.org/Koch-Brothers, Wednesday, June 26, starting at 9 a.m. EDT. The Newspaper Guild-CWA is sponsoring the panel.
If you're in the area and would like to attend in person, please RSVP by sending an email to invest@aflcio.or

Pakistan Faces Unprecedented Healthcare Crisis Amid Mounting Coronavirus Infections
By Abdul Hai Kakar
Abubakar Siddique
Police officers put up barriers as they guard a street sealed after authorities reimposed lockdowns in selected areas in an effort to stop the spread of the coronavirus disease in the eastern city of Lahore on June 17.
In the early hours of June 12, Daud Shah decided it was time for his uncle, Haji Muhammad Bakhtiar, to go to a hospital. His condition had rapidly deteriorated after testing positive for coronavirus earlier in the week.
Shah drove his 60-year-old uncle from their village of Bar Nawagai in the Mohmand district to Peshawar, the capital of northwest Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province.
After a nearly 150-kilometer drive, every major hospital refused to admit Bakhtiar, who was breathing with great difficulty.
"We first went to Lady Reading Hospital but were told there were no beds. We then checked with Khyber Teaching Hospital and the Hayatabad Medical Complex," he said of the three major public hospitals in the city. After checking with the private hospitals in Peshawar, they decided to try in the capital, Islamabad, some 200 kilometers away.
"Both the Pakistan Institute of Medical Sciences and Shifa Hospital said they had no free beds," he said of the city's leading public and private hospitals. After a series of frantic telephone calls, a private hospital admitted him late in the afternoon of June 12.
But three days later, Bakhtiar died while on a ventilator. Shah told Radio Mashaal that his father, also hospitalized, died on June 17. Their elder brother had died earlier in the month. Bakhtiar and his two brothers were among the more than 3,200 Pakistanis killed by the virus, which has infected at least 165,000 people in the country of 220 million people.
By Inaction, Pakistan Looks To Be Choosing Herd Immunity As Coronavirus Response
Shah's experience is now increasingly common across Pakistan. As the infection rates and death toll mount because of a growing coronavirus outbreak, the country's healthcare system is facing an unprecedented crisis amid a lack of beds, oxygen, and medicine, as well as attacks on medical staff. Even the number of deaths and infections is seen as being underreported due to limited testing and patients hiding their infection status because of government restrictions.
In a sign of a looming healthcare disaster, senior officials are preparing people for difficult days ahead as they impose selective lockdowns, project much higher infection numbers, and even blame the masses for the virus's spread by not following the government's so-called standard operating procedures.
Faridullah Khan, a physician in Peshawar, says he and his father are now isolating at home after the three major hospitals in the city told them that they have no more beds for coronavirus patients. "We were also told to arrange oxygen cylinders for ourselves," he told Radio Mashaal.
Pakistan followed its neighbors and countries around the world to impose a lockdown in late March nearly a month after the first cases of the highly contagious virus were recorded in late February. But it practically ended last month after the government loosened some restrictions and a top court ordered malls and businesses to reopen. Pakistan is now witnessing one of the fastest-growing infection rates in the world, but authorities are reluctant to reimpose a lockdown, citing the economic costs.
The high infection rates are now rattling Pakistan's anemic healthcare infrastructure.
"Beds aren't available anywhere," Rizwan Kundi, head of the Young Doctors Association in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, told Radio Mashaal. He added that all the wards and intensive care units assigned to or built for treating COVID-19 patients in Peshawar are packed to capacity. "We can clearly see that some patients need hospitalization, but we cannot admit them."
Coronavirus Hits Pakistani Labor Hard In Gulf Countries
In Quetta, the capital of southwestern province of Balochistan, the 150 beds authorities assigned for coronavirus cases are now falling far short. "We have a waiting list, but many patients are not getting any beds," Yasir Khostai, local physician, told Radio Mashaal.
In the larger and more populous provinces of Sindh and Punjab, the situation is equally dire. In Karachi, the country's largest city, many hospitals now prominently display banners on their gates stating that they cannot take any more COVID-19 patients.
Frustrated patients and their relatives are now increasingly attacking doctors and medical staff over inadequate treatment, deaths, and widely held misconceptions about the coronavirus. On June 18, police in Karachi arrested a member of the counterterrorism force after he allegedly shot a doctor inside a hospital. The two reportedly engaged in an altercation after the doctor asked the policeman to wear a facemask.
A video circulating online shows relatives of a coronavirus victim forcefully removing his body from Karachi's Civil Hospital in late May. They harassed medical staff and broke doors and windows in their wake.
Sanaullah Khilji, a young doctor in Peshawar, says he was attacked and beaten on June 2 following an argument with relatives of a coronavirus patient.
A colleague consoles Sanaullah Khilji after the attack.
"I was attacked. They removed my protective equipment and broke my nose," he said of the late-night attack. "I wanted to still protect myself from contracting an infection after they tore away my PPE [personal protection equipment]."
In Islamabad, Fazl-e Rabi, a physician said that a lack of beds is contributing to the number of serious patients.
"In the early days of the outbreak, we used to get patients who had mild symptoms, but we are now getting patients who need urgent intensive care," he told Radio Mashaal. "But we don't have any free beds, which enrages their relatives. This is why we are seeing increasing attacks on doctors."
In the initial days of the outbreak, doctors across Pakistan protested the lack of protective equipment. But they are now seeking protection from angry mobs.
"This is very unfortunate, and we have zero tolerance for such violence because the doctors are our front-line workers," Taimur Khan Jhaghra, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa's health minister, told Radio Mashaal. "We are working on soon adopting a law to end such incidents."
But Jhaghra's ruling Pakistan Tehreek-e Insaf [PTI] political party has faced severe criticism of its handling of the coronavirus pandemic. Since March, party leader and Prime Minister Imran Khan opposed a lockdown. He argued it would devastate millions of Pakistan's poorest.
Asad Umar, a key Khan confidant and planning and development minister this week indicated that the country was bracing for more than 1 million confirmed cases and a much higher death toll by the end of July. "There is much we are still learning about Covid spread and mortality," he tweeted.
Amid Stigma, Many Afghan Victims of Coronavirus Left Uncounted
Yasmin Rashid, the health minister of eastern Punjab Province, the most populous region, apologized after calling her constituents in the provincial capital, Lahore, "ignorant" for not following government rules.
In the absence of a successful containment or mitigation strategy, Islamabad seems to be relying on the hope of developing collective immunity. Also called herd immunity, the concept denotes collective protection against an infectious disease if a majority of the population contracts a virus or is vaccinated against it.
"The disease is here, and it will continue to spread," Khan's healthcare adviser Zafar Mirza told Dawn News, an independent TV station, in early May. "We are not aiming for zero transmission of this disease," he added. "Actually, it is better for the future if it spreads to a certain level because it will provide immunity to the people."
But no one knows how the country's crumbling healthcare system will cope with the pandemic until tens of millions of Pakistanis contract the virus.
Local media reported that the prices of oxygen cylinders were already up by 500 percent earlier this week. Injections of Tocilizumab, an immune suppressant medicine, were in short supply across the country after it demanded increased for use in critical COVID-19 patients. Authorities have begun to monitor the supply of dexamethasone, a steroid tipped to be effective in some serious coronavirus cases, aimed concerns over hoarding and profiteering off the commonly available medicine.

Pros: It can get very pretty at times, challenge tombs can be good and some really interesting accessibility features. Separate difficulty settings for puzzles, exploration and combat.
Cons: Uninteresting story/characters, boring at times, bad pacing, clumsy forced stealth sections, shoddy combat, progression system doesn't fit. No more additional modes. Bad checkpoints.
Verdict: A surprising disappointment that feels like a phoned-in filler episode.
Considering that I'm the guy who liked Rise of the Tomb Raider enough to give it a full 5 stars and the 20 Year Anniversary Edition 5 stars as well , then let me tell you that I'm just as surprised at the score as you are. What happened?
Shadow of the Tomb Raider is, for lack of a better word… boring. The story seems to give you more reasons to dislike Lara than actually be on her side, and it left me mostly uninterested in stakes that just seemed too high for a game that felt so limited. The pacing is all off too, often having you pointlessly swimming around or climbing things for ages just to get from point A to point B. It really felt like it was just giving me excuses to use the gameplay mechanics, and some decent puzzles don't make up for it enough especially when some didn't feel polished, or you died for the 5th time because of a glitchy grappling spot. The checkpoints? Don't get me started.
Gameplay mechanics have barely changed, except that the application actually felt worse for the most part. Action feels clunky compared to past games, and stealth felt notably clumsy for something that is forced on the player on so many occasions during the game. Skill and weapon upgrades felt completely useless and quite frankly, mostly didn't even matter. Uncharted-like set pieces are attempted but often just fell flat as paths aren't clear or environments didn't behave quite like they should. Graphics were impressive at times, and I was given the choice between resolution or framerate but facial animation quality were inconsistent, particularly in side-mission interactions. Camilla Luddington even sounded bored and uninterested in some of the voice over work (maybe because they snubbed her on the role of Lara in the movie, right?). I can't believe that you still can't listen to journals being read by Lara without having to stay in the menu screen, especially for a game where so much nothingness happens while you're climbing around.
Shadow of the Tomb Raider just didn't feel right even from its early stages, and maybe that's because the original developers are off making an Avengers title while Eidos Montreal was brought in to get the job done. I found little reason to root for Lara, mostly because she rolls around destroying everything, and the way the story tried to portray her as vulnerable but also and a monstrous killer got so inconsistent that I honestly just stopped caring.
More of the same, but not nearly as good. It nearly gets away with just being an okay game, but ultimately delivers a poor experience.

Introduction he management of solitary seizure is a controversy in neurology. The likelihood of seizure recurrence after a first unprovoked seizure has profound social, vocational and emotional implications for the patients . There is wide individual variation in the management of these cases ranging from mere observation to detailed investigations and full treatment for long duration. In this study, an attempt has been made to resolve some of these controversies and evolve a standard line of management for cases of solitary seizures.
Material and Methods We studied 150 consecutive cases of solitary seizure who reported to our neurology services between July 1995 and August 1997. All the patients who had had only one seizure till the time of examination (at least six weeks after the first seizure) were taken as cases of solitary seizure. Those cases under follow-up who had seizure recurrence later but had only one seizure in the first year of observation, were also included in the study in order to find out the factors related to seizure recurrence. Those cases where the diagnosis of seizure was not certain were excluded. Cases of seizure following trauma to central nervous system (CNS) infections, metabolic disorders like hypoglycaemia and alcohol related seizures were not included. A detailed history was taken to ascertain the diagnosis of seizure, to find out the type of seizure and underlying primary disorder if any. Clinical, neurological and systemic examination of all the patients was done.

except in special circumstances. However, these observations need to be confirmed by a larger study before they can be taken as guidelines for the management of cases of solitary seizure.

The Cities Zorathi Issue 1, Fall 2017, was written by Duncan McPhedran, with art by Alex Mayo, Claytonian, and Duncan McPhedran. It was published by Zorathan City State Press.
This zine focuses on a campaign setting for Dungeon Crawl Classics - the three Cities of Zorathi. There are three of these cities. In order of their age, they are Crone Zorathus, Dame Zorathus, and Lassie Zorathus. This issue gives an overview, and offers a focus on Crone Zorathus.
Introduction: Exactly what it says on the tin.
The Cities Zorathi: A brief overview of the cities, including some notes on history, organization, and culture.
Factions of the Cities Zorathi: Organizations and their interests are part of the urban landscape, and vital to making a city-based campaign come alive for its participants. Seven factions are briefly described, with more information given about the Council of Trade and Industry and The Inclusion League. Even if you don't intend on using the campaign materials herein, this article should spark ideas for your own game.
Zorathan Coinage: The common currency of the Cities Zorathi.
Common Wares in Zorathan Markets: This article gives prices using the Zorathi coinage. Most of the items reproduce those found in the DCC core rules, but there are a few items PCs may want that are not otherwise covered. Be aware that, if not using the Zorathan campaign setting, you will need to convert these prices back to standard coinage.
Crone Zorathus, the Old City: Enough information to have a useful overview of the oldest of the Cities Zorathi. This includes information on power groups, geography, architecture, holidays, and so on. This is a good example of how information of this type may be succinctly provided.
Locations: The Mental Haberdashery: Not your typical hat shop. There are 36 possibilities for the effects a hat might have, most of them are negative, and the hats are not cheap.
The Zorathites: The author provides a d30 chart containing name, occupation, condition/quirk, plot hook, and "stuff" that they might have on them. This is the sort of chart that is useful in almost any game, and is certainly useful in an urban sandbox setting.
The Ram of Light: This is the full patron write-up for the Ram of Light, once a mighty god named Ramat who has since fallen on hard times. There is only one patron spell, and spellburn is brutal. One wonders if this Ramat has any relationship to the old god that The Ruins of Ramat are named for.

However firmly rappers insist that they're not role models, the fact remains that their lyrics exert a strong (if difficult to define) influence over young listeners. Knowing just how destructive words can be when used carelessly, Seattle underground rhymesayer NISSIM urges his peers to take responsibility for the messages they spread on World Heroes, a brand new single off his forthcoming full-length. The artist's own production, an atmospheric synth arrangement driven by a throbbing electronic kick, amplifies the impact of his call to conscience. Sam Anderson of local band Hey Marseilles lends his weathered vocals to the chorus. Feeling it? More quality beats and thought-provoking bars await on Nissim's self-titled LP, scheduled for digital release on Tuesday, September 17.


If you right-click over a file in the File list tab in Visual Installer's editor, a local menu is opened. In the menu there is an option with the name File copy options.

Checks a file's version number before it is replaced. The file will only be installed if it have a higher version number.
If a file with the same filename already exists in a specified folder, the file will not be installed.
Check this option if a file must be registered during the installation. Some components and DLL files require this.
Write protection will be turned on for the file after it has been installed in the hard disk.
An information message box will be shown if the file already exists on the destination drive. The end-user can decide if the file should be replaced or not.
If you check this option, a backup will be made of the file if it already exists in the destination folder. The backup file will get the filename extension ".BAK" and it will be placed in the same folder as the original file.
If this option is checked, a file will be replaced also when it is write protected.
Sometimes a file can be in use during the setup process, and then it can not be replaced at that moment. If you check this option, the file will be marked in the system to be replaced next time the computer restarts (during the boot process).
If a file is shared with other programs, you can check this option. This will prevent the file to be uninstalled by mistake.
If this option is checked a file will not be copied if the version number of the source and destination files are equal.
Prevent uninstallation of the file. If your project is uninstalled, the file will remain on the user's hard disk.
Instead of right-clicking over a file to open the local popup menu, you can also open the List menu and choose File copy options there. If you need to set copy options for more than one file at once, this is also possible. Just select the files in the file list, and choose the File copy options menu item (either from the List menu or from the local popup menu).
In the Inst column in the file list you can see current copy settings for each file in the file list. More information is available in this blog post.
