Physician-assisted suicide bill faces uncertain fate at capitol
Should people with terminal illness be allowed to end their own lives with the help of doctors and other medical […]
By Access Press Staff
Should people with terminal illness be allowed to end their own lives with the help of doctors and other medical professionals? Or would state law allowing such a practice be misused, to end the lives of vulnerable people? Would people with disabilities become targeted under such a law? More than 200 people filled hearing rooms September 11 to hear debate on the highly emotional and controversial proposal under consideration by the Minnesota House.
The hearing before the House Health and Human Services Policy Committee was informational, and went on for hours. No vote was taken. State lawmakers don't go back into session until February 2020.
Dozens of organizations are weighing in, with some in support, others in opposition and still others offering qualified support if there are ways to prevent abuse of such a law. How to describe physician-assisted suicide is even up for debate, as shown by the stickers worn September 11. Bill foes wore "no assisted suicide" stickers. Supporters wore stickers stating, "I support end-of-life options."
Support and opposition to the proposal among lawmakers somewhat splits along party lines. Several House DFLers support such a bill, pointing to measures in place in eight other states. Current and past Minnesota proposals are modeled against one used in Oregon for more than 20 years.
The bill likely won't get very far in the Senate as Sen. Michelle Benson, R-Ham Lake, chair of the Senate's Health and Human Services Finance and Policy Committee, is in opposition and instead wants state lawmakers to focus on palliative care needs. Benson called physician-assisted suicide a "dangerous policy" and said it won't be heard in the Senate.
She is especially concerned about people who live with mental illness and about people who may see physician-assisted suicide as a less expensive option to keeping someone alive. Benson issued a statement saying that people with disabilities are "at the greatest risk of outside influence clouding their personal judgment."
Testimony indicated sharp divisions in the medical, personal care and faith communities. One large and diverse coalition leading the charge against the bill is the Minnesota Alliance for Ethical Healthcare. The group also held a press conference to voice its objections.
"This bill sets the stage for a treacherous healthcare future in Minnesota because it could make our state a suicide tourism destination," said Kathy Ware, nurse and advocate for people with disabilities. "The bill lacks appropriate safeguards to protect poor, elderly, disabled and vulnerable persons and puts them at greatest risk. Minnesotans don't deserve this."
"This is a dangerous bill that threatens to undermine quality, ethical health care in Minnesota," said Dr. Neal Buddensiek, chief medical officer for Benedictine Health System in Shoreview. "If passed, Minnesota would be added to a small list of states that allows physicians and nonphysicians to make life and death decisions for vulnerable patients."
The group recommends instead that policymakers focus on quality end-of-life treatment and care such as improving palliative care, expanding public education around end-of-life decision-making, creating more accommodations for people with disabilities, and ensuring healthcare access in rural areas.
Speaking at the hearing was Californian Stephanie Packer. She is terminally ill with pulmonary fibrosis as a result of diffuse scleroderma. Her home state has a law allowing assisted deaths. Packer noted that the drug costs for medications to assist with suicide are much cheaper than those she needs to stay alive, with some of her medications no longer being covered.
Packer's message to the House committee was that insurance companies, if given the option, would not help people health and live. "So, if there are other options out there to save them money, they are good businesspeople, and they are going to do it," she said.
But others said a physician-assisted suicide law would help people control their own destinies, end suffering and allow people to die on their own terms. Speakers discussed their own medical conditions and those of beloved family members. They described in detail how people who don't have the right to make end-of-life decisions often struggle with painful illnesses.
St. Paul resident Marianne Turnbull has stage 4 ovarian cancer. Turnbull told the committee she wants to be able to die on her own terms. "I want to live as long as I can. I want the medical care that can ease my pain and allow me to be in relationship with my children, my family and my friends. But when the time comes, I want a good death," she said. "I want to die at home. I want to be surrounded by people who love me."
(A commentary by Turnbull appears on page four of this issue of Access Press.)
Some testimony in support of the bill drew on Oregon's experience. In Oregon, 249 people obtained life-ending prescriptions under the state's law in 2018 and 168 of those individuals died after taking the drugs, as of January of this year. Eleven of those received the drugs before 2018. Seventy-nine percent of those who were prescribed the drugs were 65 or older, according to the Oregon Health Authority, and 63 percent had cancer.
Rep. Mike Freiberg, DFL-Golden Valley, is the House's chief sponsor of the bill. "At the end of the day this is about the patient," he said. "This is about what patients are going through and the government not telling them what they have to do and how they should live the end of their lives."
The current version of Minnesota's bill would allow people to request the drugs if they have less than six months to live. Two health care providers would have to sign off on the lethal dose.
Under current Minnesota law, those who assist a suicide can face felony charges. In 2015, a jury in Dakota County found the corporation Final Exit Network guilty of helping an Apple Valley woman end her life. This fall an Eden Prairie man was found guilty of assisting his wife's suicide in 2018, after she had lived with disabilities for most of her life.

Today we learned in a announcement from Theresa May that the UK will undergo a snap General Election on Thursday 8th June 2017. First of all, we should highlight that like many we were taken by surprise by the announcement. The more so because the Prime Minister's announcement of an election deviates from a consistently held principle of hers that it would be disruptive for the country as it faces up to what are possibly the most significant constitutional challenges it has ever exposed itself to.
We are also critical of the timing of this election. Firstly, we are concerned that discussions, debates, and campaigns over the elections to take place on May 4th will now be relegated to obscurity and people will not necessarily vote for candidates best suited to their local needs. Secondly, to have two elections just over a month apart is an unnecessarily costly exercise.
That being said, we are under no illusions that this election, as everything in British politics these days, will be about 'Europe' and so we welcome the chance to speak loud and proud in support of our convictions. What little we have seen of the Brexit process so far has been a catastrophic mess. The large swathe of sensible arguments that were dismissed as Project Fear are now starting to be borne out. More importantly, those of us who feel Europe in our hearts have woken up to what we are about to lose, and so the fight is stronger in our camp than it perhaps was before June 23 2016. It is still too early to outline YEM's plans fully vis-à-vis this election, notably as the anniversary of the referendum will be not long after. However, we can say for sure that we will continue to collaborate with all pro-European groups out there to support the election of those candidates, regardless of party colour, who have our values to heart.
YEM has always been and remains an organisation that is cross-party, trans-party, all-party, and no-party. In our membership we include voters from every party (possibly excluding what is left of UKIP) and of course from no party. As such we will not tell people a colour or a name to pick on our election days, but we will leave you with three pieces of advice.
Register to vote. For those in YEM over the age of 18, we have a duty to make our voices heard on behalf of the 16 and 17 year olds who will most likely be denied suffrage – again!
Fully engage with all your candidates for June 8th. Write to them, ask them questions at events. Vote for the candidate, regardless of party, that has Europe closest to their heart and is most willing to fight for it. We have so far seen a lack of bravery in our elected members since last year. This election is a chance to embolden them and to begin to turn that around.
Do not forget the May 4th elections! All elections matter, we cannot emphasise this enough. From the bottom to the top, Europe has inflected our political discourse, we should take that into account with our voting behaviour but more than ever we should be doing our best to ensure all our elected representatives are competent, and held to account.
These are interesting times, and challenging times. The months ahead, regardless of this election result, are not going to be easy. However, strong arguments and stronger convictions can and will win the day – take fresh heart YEMers and engage!
If you are not yet a member of the UK's oldest and largest pro-EU youth organisation, why not join us today? Make the change you want to see in the world!

Q: How to merge rows and convert them into columns I have a dataframe as follows:
ID  START   END  SEQ
1   11      12   1
1   14      15   3
1   13      14   2
2   10      14   1
3   11      15   1
3   16      17   2

I need to transform it into this DataFrame:
ID  START_1  END_1  SEQ_1  START_2  END_2  SEQ_2 START_3  END_3  SEQ_3
1   11       12     1      13       14     2     14       15     3
2   10       14     1      NA       NA     NA    NA       NA     NA
3   11       15     1      16       17     2     NA       NA     NA

The problem is that the number of rows with the same ID is unknown apriori, which means that the maximum number of columns START_X, END_X, SEQ_X should not be defined manually.
Is there any automated way to do this transformation, taking into account that columns should be ordered by SEQ?
Should I use group_by or which should be the approach?

A: You can use groupby with unstack, then sort_index and last remove MultiIndex from columns by list comprehension:
df['SEQ1'] = df.SEQ
df = df.groupby(['ID','SEQ1']).mean().unstack()
df = df.sort_index(axis=1, level=1)
df.columns = ['_'.join((col[0], str(col[1]))) for col in df.columns]
print (df)
    START_1  END_1  SEQ_1  START_2  END_2  SEQ_2  START_3  END_3  SEQ_3
ID
1      11.0   12.0    1.0     13.0   14.0    2.0     14.0   15.0    3.0
2      10.0   14.0    1.0      NaN    NaN    NaN      NaN    NaN    NaN
3      11.0   15.0    1.0     16.0   17.0    2.0      NaN    NaN    NaN

Another solution with pivot_table, aggfunc='mean' is by default:
df['SEQ1'] = df.SEQ
df = df.pivot_table(index= ['ID','SEQ1']).unstack()
df = df.sort_index(axis=1, level=1)
df.columns = ['_'.join((col[0], str(col[1]))) for col in df.columns]
print (df)
    END_1  SEQ_1  START_1  END_2  SEQ_2  START_2  END_3  SEQ_3  START_3
ID
1    12.0    1.0     11.0   14.0    2.0     13.0   15.0    3.0     14.0
2    14.0    1.0     10.0    NaN    NaN      NaN    NaN    NaN      NaN
3    15.0    1.0     11.0   17.0    2.0     16.0    NaN    NaN      NaN

Before we hit LFW and all the new trends start emerging I thought I would do a round up of my favourite trends of the winter season so far. Whilst staple non trend-led pieces are some of my favourite, I may have become a slave to just a few of these trends this season! In particular I hope these 9 hang around a little longer.
Disclaimer: It rained ALL DAY these photos were taken, hence looking like a drowned rat.
Fishnets – One of the newer trends to emerge. Details can really make an outfit and essentially this is another way to add extra detail, hence I'm all aboard this one. Worn as socks with ankle grazers and loafers, or tights peeking through ripped jeans, I love it.
Fur – Long live the faux fur trend. I hope this one never goes out of fashion, add a huge faux fur coat to boyfriend jeans and a tee and you have instant glam. I'm particularly loving the hues of emerald green circulating in extra fluffy form (think Sully from Monsters inc.) – still deciding whether I'd get enough wear to make it worth the investment though. Thoughts?
Extreme oversizing. The queen of man repellent trends, if there ever was one.
Loafers. We've all seen the Gucci loafers (or own, if you're lucky enough) but there are so many dupes around plus variations of their own. Personally backless loafers had me at hello. I'm just not brave enough to bear the cold feet yet.
Leopard Print – Combine this one with trend 2. and I think we've found my favourite winter wardrobe piece.
Over The Knee boots. I'm sure this has been made pretty clear if you read my blog (or even browse the pictures!) as I can't seem to get enough of wearing them. Never mind as a fashion piece, they are such a useful wardrobe staple when it's this freezing!
Frills. They speak for themselves. This is one I took longer to warm up to as I'm usually a no-frills kinda gal but on those days you're feeling extra girly, reach for something frilled and you can do no wrong.
Layering. While everyone's buying jumpers I've been buying the (on sale) camisoles, lacey tops and tees – building up my 'layering' pieces to wear under the jumpers I currently live in. As mentioned in 1., details bring a look to life and can stop the inevitable jumper routine becoming too boring.
Distressed denim. Now I know this is nothing new, distressed denim has been around forever but this season was all about the hems. We had raw hems, stepped hems, uneven-ripped hems.. Plus this one is so easy to DIY, it gets bonus points from me.

I am convinced that the story we tell in this film concerns the majority of cultured people living in the territory that used to be known as the Soviet Union. In the absence of liberty, these people helped one another. Human warmth was very present.
But freedom suddenly appeared and, with it, coldness and solitude. And we realized that not everyone was ready to embrace this new freedom. We also realized that it was not good to be weak. But not everyone--far from it--can be strong.
In Ukrainian, the word "love" and the word "pity" are sometimes considered synonyms. That is why I made this film about people whom I pity. And whom I love.
"A Friend of the Deceased" provides a deadpan introduction to the rough-and-tumble world of the new Ukraine, where Kiev has become a late 20th century Dodge City, ruled by high-flying entrepreneurs, the Mob and the black market. Anatoli (Alexandre Lazarev) is an intellectual whose academic background has become worthless in this new capitalist jungle. Although he tries to support himself, he simply lacks the skills to make it in post-communist society. To add to his sense of malaise, his wife Katia (Angelika Nevolina) has become a successful advertising executive, while their relationship has deteriorated past the point of no return. It comes as no surprise when Anatoli discovers that Katia is leaving him for another man.
After recounting his woes to his old friend Dima (Eugen Pachin), Dima suggests hiring one of Kiev's numerous contract killers to take care of the problem by getting rid of his wife's new lover. But Anatoli no longer wants to fight back. Depressed and adrift, he decides to commit suicide-- until he realizes he could hire a hit man to do the dirty work for him. With his own demise in mind, Anatoli contacts a killer through Dima, sending a photo of himself along with the first installment on the hit and arranging a time for the killer to find him in his favorite cafe.
When the appointed evening comes, Anatoli obligingly heads off to meet his fate, only to be politely kicked out of the cafe when it closes early for a birthday party. Finding himself strangely pleased at having cheated death by this strange turn of events, Anatoli goes out for a celebratory night on the town. He meets Vika (Tatiana Krivitska), an energetic young prostitute who takes an immediate liking to him, and after they spend the night together, Anatoli begins to think that living might not be so bad after all.
Unfortunately, the contract killer hasn't forgotten about his assignment, and Anatoli realizes that it's only a matter of time before the hit man hunts him down. He tries to call off the killer, without giving away the embarrassing fact that he's put a down payment on his own head, but it's impossible--once the plan has been set in motion, it cannot be stopped.
Rich in irony, "A Friend of the Deceased" is both an engrossing human drama and a razor-edged portrait of a society in upheaval. "Before we had friendships," Anatoli's old army buddy tells him, "Now, we have business relationships."

Tying a new pattern is always fun, the reward of mini victories when laying down new threads far outweighs the challenge of having to go back and start again. Whilst researching yesterday, I chanced upon an interesting and well written article about Hans van Klinken, Holland's now famous designer of the Klinkhamer. What impressed me the most is his pioneering approach – he owes his success to veering off the well trodden path and actively experimenting to solve little riddles.
In my endeavours last night, I learnt that materials make a huge difference and being economical with space on the hook helps to get everything correctly proportioned. So far I have only tied five klinkhamer style flies. I realise it will be a while before I perfect my technique however I am pleased with the results and shall put them to the test (literally!) on Saturday.
My fishing partner this weekend is a discerning professional so I will be concentrating hard when I tie up some for him this afternoon!
size 14, size 16 and some green larvae in case I need some flies to go deep… The anticipation is building!

A contemporary door with a central panel framed by wide detailed border.
If you think that to get a modern kitchen look, you need high-gloss, plain slab doors and a monochrome colour scheme, you can think again The Goodwood door in Legno Quartz has traditional panelled detailing yet with a modern, graphic edge. Our made-to-measure service makes it easy to get a bespoke look that's also affordable - just send us your dimensions and we will cut your doors to the size you need.
The Goodwood door manages to be both classic and on-trend. The door features a central panel that is deeply moulded, and the panel is squared off with sharp edges which give it a bold, geometric look. The drawer front echoes this design, and together they form a striking look that really catches the eye. You can choose all kinds of handles that will work on the Goodwood door in Legno Quartz but we think that the retro style half-moon handle works very well.
Legno Quartz is a great choice of colour for this Goodwood door. It is highly textured with a woodgrain effect and this carefully highlights the shade which is a soft, light grey with warm, sandy undertones. This shade will work perfectly with creams and similar neutrals, and black granite worktops would really add a bit of drama. The Goodwood door in Legno Quartz may be a modern door with plenty of character, but no matter what the style of your home, it will fit right in.

Curse of the Lottery Winners
ByABC News
March 11, 2007 — -- The record setting $390 million lottery jackpot shared by two American winners this week has put stars and dollar signs in the eyes of millions of would-be millionaires. But a sudden cash windfall hasn't always resulted in a happy ending for past lottery winners.
Psychologist Steve Danish, a professor of psychology at Virginia Commonwealth University, has studied the impact instant wealth has on lottery winners.
"The dream you have about winning may be better than the actuality of winning," he said. "There have been families that have just -- just been torn apart by this process."
Kenneth and Connie Parker were winners of a $25 million jackpot. Their 16-year marriage disintegrated just months after they became rich beyond their wildest dreams.
Jeffrey Dampier, a $20 million winner, was kidnapped and murdered by his own sister-in-law.
In 2002, Jack Whittaker won the largest individual payout in U.S. lottery history.
"I can take the money," Whittaker said at the time. "I can take this much money and do a lot of good with this much money right now."
But it didn't work out like that. Whittaker's life was consumed by hardship, including the death of his beloved granddaughter Brandi, who was a victim of a drug overdose, and the breakup of his marriage.
"If I knew what was going to transpire, honestly, I would have torn the ticket up," said Jewell Whittaker, Jack Whittaker's ex-wife.
For Eddie Nabors, the 52-year-old truck driver from Georgia turned recent mega millionaire, Danish offers this advice.
"I think you can probably fish for a couple days … but I'm not sure you can fish for 10 or 20 or 30 years," Danish said. "Without that goal or plan about what you expect to happen for yourself … it could be your worst nightmare."

Q: How to get MongoCursorEnumerator with latest version C# (1.8.2+) driver? Having some issues with code which used to work pre-1.8.2 version of C# MongoDB Driver:
With previous releases of the driver, I could do something like:
private MongoCursorEnumerator<T> InitializeCursor()
{
    var cursor = _queue.Find(Query.GT("_id", _lastId));
    return MongoCursorEnumerator<T>cursor.GetEnumerator();
}

Now, this code generates exception:

Unable case type "d__0" to type "MongoDB.Driver.MongoCursorEnumerator`1".

Need the cast to MongoCursorEnumerator because it has the property IsDead which is used later in the code for re-initializing the cursor. Somehow, up-casting to MongoCursorEnumerator no longer works. Anyone know why this is happening or what would be the possible fix to this?

A: From V1.8 on you have to use the constructor of MongoCursorEnumerator.
return new MongoCursorEnumerator<T>(cursor);

Unfortunately there is no hint in the documentation - you have to look at the source code :-/

Q: Which kind of Conditional is it? Would you teach me by some more similar examples, please?

If a homing pigeon is to navigate with its Sun compass, its clock must be properly set by cues provided by the daylight/darkness cycle.

Can I paraphrase it to the First Conditional as follows without distortion:

If a homing pigeon navigates with its Sun compass, its clock will be properly set by cues provided by the daylight/darkness cycle.

A: No. Your paraphrase is consistent with it, but misses something.
A better paraphrase would be "In order that a homing pigeon can navigate with its Sun compass, its clock must  be ... "
It is expressing a (material not logical) implication: only if the clock is set, can it navigate. Your paraphrase might be taken by a logician to mean this, but in ordinary language it doesn't mean it.

Five Ways to Honor Martin Luther King Jr. on MLK Day
Avery Belisle, Midlo Scoop Staff|January 13, 2022
Photo by: U.S. Embassy in Guinea
Every year, Americans from across the country take part in recognizing Martin Luther King Jr. on MLK.
On the third Monday of January every year, we come together to celebrate the accomplishments of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Since 1986, Americans have found a number of creative ways to honor the civil rights leader's life and legacy, such as taking part in community service projects, local marches and parades, as well as studying King's work. As for the 2022 holiday, here are five unique ways that Midlo students can observe King's impacts.
1. LEARN MORE ABOUT DR. KING
An essential part of honoring King's legacy is understanding his background and what he stood for. Reading transcripts of his most famous speeches, watching movies about his life and reading books written either by him or about his life are all insightful ways to learn more about him.
Dr. King's most memorable speeches:
Our God is Marching On
Beyond Vietnam: A Time to Break the Silence
The Other America
I've Been to the Mountaintop
Popular movies about Dr. King:
Our Friend, Martin
The Witness: From the Balcony of Room 306
Books about the life and beliefs of Dr. King:
The Autobiography of Martin Luther King, Jr., edited by Clayborne Carson
Strength to Love, by Martin Luther King, Jr.
MLK: An American Legacy by David Garrow
2. VOLUNTEER IN YOUR COMMUNITY
Volunteering on a local level is a great way to honor King. Using AmeriCorps' searchable database, there are a variety of available projects nearby, just enter the zip code and select the "MLK Day" Box.
3. TAKE A HISTORICAL TRIP
Only a hop, skip and a jump away, the Smithsonian National Museum of African American History is dedicated to the history and culture of African Americans. It is the only national museum dedicated exclusively to the documentation of African American life. Located outside of Washington D.C., special museum exhibits are available for MLK Day in most cities and can be found on local museum websites. This year, individuals can even take a virtual tour of the National Civil Rights Museum, which is built around what used to be Lorraine Motel, the site of MLK's assassination.
4. PARTICIPATE IN A PEACE WALK
The Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial Peace Walk and March held for Federal Voting Legislation is taking place on the Frederick Douglass Memorial Bridge in Washington D.C. on Monday, January 17 at 9:30 A.M. Over a thousand people from all over the East Coast will take part in the two-mile Peace Walk. This is an annual event held on MLK Day and is coordinated by the Coalition for Peace, a group dedicated to positivity and peace in the D.C. area. This year, a march led by King's eldest son Martin Luther King III, his wife, Arndrea Waters King and their daughter Yolanda Renee King urges the Senate to enact federal voting rights legislation, which will take place directly before the Peace Walk at 10 A.M. Martin Luther King III stated that participating in this march is a way for Americans to honor his father and this piece of legislation is an essential step Congress must take.
MLK Day has always been a day on, not off. When we call for 'no celebration without legislation,' we're not urging Americans not to honor this day — we're asking people to honor Dr. King through action to protect the right to vote"
— Martin Luther King III
5. HELP PRESERVE AND SHARE HISTORY
Both the Library of Congress and the Smithsonian Institution are searching for volunteers to digitally preserve historical documents. As volunteers, people would be transcribing documents significant to African American history and women's suffrage or even personal letters and journals of historical figures, all from the comfort of their own homes. These transcriptions help make these important historical resources more available to the public and accessible for people with vision impairments.

Q: Particle/hole excitations have finite lifetime In my condensed matter course there is written :
"In a non interacting system, particle/hole excitations have finite lifetime".
I would like to understand why.
I guess we are talking about of non interacting in the sense that the quasiparticle don't interact between them (but the electron interact with the Fermi sea).
Also, it is written that the inverse of the lifetime of an excitation is proportional to $\epsilon^2=(E-\mu)^2$ where $E$ is the energy of the particle and $\mu$ the chemical potential. Where does this formula come from ?

A: Short google search brought up the following: The relaxation is based on the Landau theory of Fermi liquids. The proportionality was calculated by Quinn, see Phys. Rev. 126, p1453 (1962). It is a consequence of the Pauli-principle restrictions on the number of available unoccupied states for both electrons involved in a scattering process.

Pulsating Diamond Shaped object ejects two orbs of light towards the ground.
Driving South Bound on Dale Mabry Highway at 5:30 in the morning on my commute, I observed a diamond shaped object that seemd to have a distinct prismatic structure with pointed ends and was brightly illuminated. The structural detail, is what made it stand out from the garden variety landing lights of jets approaching the airport. If I recall,Tampas'airport does not begin flight operations until 6 or 6:30, realizing this, I realized I'm looking at something unusual. The object was the size quarter dollar held at arms length. I had ample opportunity to observe details as I was frequently stopping at intersections with my window rolled down staring at it (with my jaw hanging down). Object appeared to be about 5-7 miles to the left of my vehicle which would place it in a location to my east, between US Highway 41 and the campus of the University of South Florida. It seemed to be slowly drifting lateral to me. If it was as far east as Interstate 75, and the size it was to my naked eye,then this thing would have been really huge. If i had to estimate altitude, it appeared to be about 400-500 feet, but this is only a best guess. Object remained stationary, perhaps slowly drifting at times, and the intensity of its illumination changed every few seconds, i.e., dimmed and increased, in almost a blinking pattern. 2 (two) smaller orange-yellow orbs of light were ejected from the side of diamond shaped object and disappeared in a rapide downward motion. There may be possibility that this was a commerical blimp that may have been used in a recent Tampa Bay Buccaneers Football Game this month, but after it ejected the orbs of light, I quickly discounted that notion. I even considered a shuttle launch from Cape Canaveral, but I've observed many shuttle launches at night from our Gulf coast location and there was an absence of a large smoke plume illuminated by the engine nozzles and any distinct arc of movement. At the risk of diminishing any credibility this report may have,I prefer not to leave any contact infor! mation a t this time.
