Venezuela Air Force General Killed In Ambush Amid Guaido's Hints At A US Military Intervention
Click to see full-size image
On May 4th, a group of unrecognized heavily armed people ambushed a mixed military commission in Venezuela on May 4th. Three officers were left dead in the attack.
After an exchange of shots with an unrecognized group of heavily armed individuals, the brigadier general of the Bolivarian Military Aviation (AMB), Jackson Silva Zapata, and two officers of the Aragua Police identified as Bruno Manuel Benavidez, 34, and Jesús Eduardo Arraiz Sánchez, 30, both with the rank of chief officer were killed.
Following the failed coup attempt in Venezuela, US-Proclaimed Interim President Juan Guaido said he "overestimated" presumed military support.
In an interview with the Washington Post, Guaido said that he acknowledged errors made in his attempt to stir a military uprising. He further said he didn't discard an option of a US military intervention and that if a "proposal" was made by Washington, he would take up to vote in the opposition-controlled National Assembly.
"Guaidó suggested that he expected Maduro to step down amid a groundswell of defectors within the military. Instead, Guaidó's call for the rank and file and senior brass to abandon Maduro did not produce mass defections. Maduro's security forces then quelled street protests and left Guaidó's U.S.-backed opposition on its heels."
"Maybe because we still need more soldiers, and maybe we need more officials of the regime to be willing to support it, to back the constitution," Guaidó said. "I think the variables are obvious at this point."
If US National Security Adviser John Bolton would hypothetically call him with a proposal of a US military intervention, Guaido would presumably say the following:
"Dear friend, ambassador John Bolton, thank you for all the help you have given to the just cause here. Thank you for the option, we will evaluate it, and will probably consider it in parliament to solve this crisis. If it's necessary, maybe we will approve it."
Guaidó said he welcomed recent deliberations on military options in Washington, calling them "great news."
"That's great news to Venezuela because we are evaluating all options. It's good to know that important allies like the U.S. are also evaluating the option. That gives us the possibility that if we need cooperation, we know we can get it."
Adding:
"I think today there are many Venezuelan soldiers that want to put an end to [leftist guerrillas], and help humanitarian aid get in, who would be happy to receive cooperation to end usurpation. And if that includes the cooperation of honorable countries like the United States, I think that would be an option."
The BBC interviewed Guaido as well. He also said that he would consider "asking" for a US military intervention.
"I think President [Donald] Trump's position is very firm, which we appreciate, as does the entire world," he said.
Asked whether he would like Trump and the US military to intervene, he responded it is "responsible to evaluate" the possibility of international intervention, adding: "I, as the president in charge of the national parliament, will evaluate all options if necessary."
John Bolton himself continued his usual rhetoric against Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro's government and its supporters.
US President Donald Trump on May 4th further said that Maduro must go, the dictatorship must end, and that the US would not tolerate any foreign military influence in the Western Hemisphere.
President Trump addressed the ongoing situation in Venezuela earlier today:

US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo reiterated his support to the opposition, and claimed that the US supported a peaceful transition, despite expressing support of a military coup just days earlier.
My message to the Venezuelan people is clear: the United States stands firmly with you in your quest for freedom and democracy. Your bravery and voices will put Venezuela on the path to liberty and prosperity, and we will partner with you every step of the way. #EstamosUnidosVE pic.twitter.com/poznzEPKYR

The repression perpetrated by Nicolas Maduro has no limits. Regime forces attacked a Catholic service, driving motorcycles into the church, using tear gas and injuring many. We stand with the people of #Venezuela and interim President @jguaido to support a peaceful transition.
On May 4th, Venezuelan Foreign Minister Jorge Arreaza visited Moscow and met with Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov.

In the opening remarks, Lavrov expressed Russia's support for the Venezuelan government and said that regime change actions were in contrast with any claims of democracy.
"You know Russia's principled, consistent and firm support of the Venezuelan government, which is headed by Nicolas Maduro. We are currently witnessing an unprecedented campaign led by the USA to overthrow the legitimate authorities in Venezuela. We condemn it as it grossly violates all the principles of international law enshrined in the UN Charter. Apparently, it concerns not only Venezuela but also Washington's pattern for the political reshuffling of Latin America in line with the notorious Monroe doctrine, which reflects a complete lack of respect for the peoples of Latin America and Caribbean countries."
He further mentioned the phone call between Russian President Vladimir Putin and US President Donald Trump on May 3rd.
"We call on both Americans and everyone who supports them to give up irresponsible schemes and act exclusively within the framework of international law, as President of the Russian Federation Vladimir Putin suggested during his telephone conversation with US President Donald Trump on May 3."
Lavrov is to meet US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo in Finland on May 6th – 7th. Pompeo is expected to tell the Russians "to get out of Venezuela."
"Cooperation between Russia and the US can play a very significant and positive role in solving most issues, if we are building this cooperation on the principle of finding common approaches," Lavrov said regarding the meeting.
Anti-War Voices on Both Sides Warn of Coming CIA Provocation to Kill Guaidó, Blame Maduro
Caitlin Johnstone: "Venezuela: Establishment Talking Points Translation Key"
Guaido Admits Coup Failed, Blames Lack Of Support From Military, Welcomes Foreign Intervention Posibility
Probably the CIA.
d'Artagnan
They also killed 5 field grade officers yesterday when a French Puma/Cougar AS-332 helicopter went down near the Colombian border. The CIA is trying to do a Nicaraguan Contra style terrorism, so far the Venezuelan military is standing fast.
goingbrokes
He is a satanist after all, this is what he does.
This shameless CIA puppet Guaido is a total disgrace. He is openly calling for the invasion of a sovereign nation and spreading sedition. In the US police state he would been executed by the FBI in a Jew York minute. The Venezuelan government needs to arrest him, try him in a Gitmo style military court and then execute him.
Sharp Shtik
Gaido is a socialist, same as Maduro and Chavez. Venezuelans need to fight the civil war they should have when Chavez and fellow socialists started depriving civil rights.
purplelibraryguy
Wut?! Could we get real? Guaido is a parasitic rentier capitalist, just like Lopez and most of the opposition. Chavez has been dead for years, so it's kind of hard for him to deprive anyone of civil rights, but both Chavez when he was alive and Maduro since have displayed way more respect for civil rights than, say, France or the US or Canada generally do. So you're talking pure unadulterated rubbish.
And of course they created a far more democratic polity than most of the "advanced Western democracies"–Venezuelans have power to legislate directly although they haven't used it much, they have the power to do recalls of elected politicians (the opposition tried to use that on Chavez but couldn't muster enough votes), they have some direct power through the communal councils and communes, with a big enough petition they have the power to initiate a constitutional assembly. So Venezuelans have a lot more democratic powers than citizens of most countries.
Socialists here, commies, there and fucker Yankers under the chair.

Very appropriate picture.
notice the rope around his neck.
The American and Israeli terrorists will now do something to cover up their own shame of failed coup in Venezuela.
trump must go, the dictatorship must end, and that the Axis would not tolerate any foreign military influence in the Western or Eastern Hemisphere.

It appears that you located your brains in your bowels during your childhood, and learned to live with the shit that oozes out of your mouth.
Off you go you retarded Zio-yanker,take your shekel as you go.
I thought Gaddafi was murdered by the British SAS?
The story I read was that he was put into a British military ambulance and was dead via gunshot when the ambulance got to the hospital.
SAS is very well possible…I will be the Last to deny it…I once had respect for those Filthy Rats a long time ago….
He died on camera you idiot! havent you seen the footage? He was grabbed from his vehicle, by the time he was put into the back of a utility vehicle he had already been stabbed by a long dagger up his asshole! Stabbed in the back and chest! You could see he could hardly breath by the time they got him into the vehicle! Basically he died at the end of the video! You are uninformed! No surprise there!
Gaddafi's convoy was targeted and tracked – due to in-convoy use of cell phones – by NATO electronic surveillance aircraft – then scrambled French jets attacked the convoy in open terrain – this destroyed most of the vehicles and caused major casualties. Gaddaffi had actually survived the NATO missile's impact – but NATO swiftly coordinated the arrival of armed local militants to the bombed site, to complete the killing of Gaddafi and convoy entourage – by 'Libyan hands'. So that the public images broadcast to world of Gaddafi's end fitted NATO's 'Libyan revolution' narrative – and (very effectively) obscured from public view the sophisticated NATO assassination operation that it actually was.
attack against the military masterminded by cia of course – can be nothing else. haven't seen anywhere that anyone has posted a bounty in the millions on fatso's head (and ditto on bolton's and abram's and kushner's) and it's about time those criminally corrupt and eminently inept neo-nazi morons are targeted like the ones the neo-nazi morons set up for execution with bounties in the millions – lately the three alleged hezbollah financiers. must be some cash-rich afghani taliban warlord eager to square the picture somewhat.
This SEAL team or whatever are real scum, acting under illegal orders to attack a sovereign state without a declaration of war, and the soldiers and their officers should be declared international criminals. (Same for the Apache crew that was revealed in the Wikileaks). SOF operating without a declaration of war is the same as criminal scum. They should have no state protection.
CIA operation, of course.
It's pretty obvious the US has special forces operating in Venezuela, they have been blowing electricity infrastructure for quite a while, and are now killing people.
Someone must know where they are, perhaps a reward might help.
Well, If I were Venezuela president, I would arrest Guaido and execute him for treason to his country. Of course, this would justify USA intervention. Then, with the help of Russia, a new Viet-Nam for USA would be created, and death on both side would appear for sure, but Venezuela victory would be a fact. Without Russia help, it is not possible to stop USA, look for example Brasil and Argentina at this moment.
So everyone knows what is going on, the US has their SFs there doing what they do. When will these people get smart and start doing the same to them? Want to see less of Bolton and crew? Shoot one of them and leave a Saudi passport laying about. That should get things rolling. Just use a hit man, not Venezuelans.
Now there is an idea..
Putin and Lavrov can continue to try to talk sense to Trump and his swamp rats, but it will do no good at all. Just continue to out-maneuver them. Trump still on the regime change blabber even after his 'good talk' with Putin shows how serious he is.
Smart to kill 2 generals from Venezuela and Bolivia….. The only thing they achieve by that is giving Maduro more support.
iosongasingsing
The role of Jews in the service of the US in Latin America is the same as that of 1600 in feudal Poland: Exploiting and killing oppressed peasants on behalf of the master. https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/e8e9081ee82ff1cdb0946b6b5b6cd67587f32c067dc06e48377a475f3a4a5029.png

Do a Noriega special on Maduro. Maduro would run to Russian embassy for asylum probably.
Russian troops just turn up in Venezuela and the CIA will shit themselves and go back to that Dump they call the USA.
US Special Forces troops greased 300 Rooskie mercs in Syria last year. Try again hillbilly Al.
Send my Regards to Langley & Hell Aviv Hasbararat…
Bobby Twoshoes
Russians killed 85,000 Yankee mercs in Syria. Please stop trying, you guys are embarrassingly bad at this war thing.
Stay in your Moscow internet café where you can play war games and get free vodka rations.
Vodka makes me sick and I'm happy in Australia, it'll be even better when we get you out of Darwin.
Hahaha, OK, I shall contact the British MOD and get them to pass the message across for me.
Stay in your internet café in Moscow. Free vodka rations I hear.
Unfortunately Moscow is a long, long, long away. But if there is free Vodka, I shall have a look at flight details.
Thanks for the head up.
Do a Noriega? You mean give him money and weapons? Should be about as successful as all your other plans.
You failed military history in 7th grade I see. Or did you flunk 4th grade?
We don't have "military history" because we aren't war-obsessed savages like you Yanks. Super intelligent retort by the way, did you learn your debating technique at a US "school"?

Guiado and Bolsanaro is Bolton and Pompeo puppets.
John Whitehot
i suspect that Bolton himself could be an android, or a genetically engineered entity.
They have cloned officials already.. celebrities too. All to keep the sheep occupied and glued to the TV. One of the things when they replace them is there hair goes blond or they shave their heads right before they are replaced like Brittany and Kanye, the list goes on.
Look back at the photos of Hillary when she was sick and then came out of a car two days later. It is clearly not her.
This is her at the memorial. then find a picture of her two days later it is not the same woman

WOW I keep getting deleted.. !! That's hilarious
idk what to say. sometimes messages are delayed, it occurred several times to me to see them published only after a few hours. Don't know if it's intentional or not. I've had a couple of deletions as well, but can't really blame folks that blather 24/7 if they perceive the weight of words to be much more than it really is.
otherwise, it seems that one of the things that makes the RDTB (Rapid Deployment Troll Brigade) deploy the quicker is talking about the "Wolfowitz Doctrine":.
WOLFOWITZ. DOCTRINE.
WOLFOWITZ.
Lmao!! You are so right!
The bots are in full action mode lately. Plus I must be saying something to piss someone off as well. No other REAL reason to be deleted. Other than them and the truth.
anyway, i never take anything for granted. hackers (in addition to moderators) may delete messages saying anything, no matter which side or entity they are for or against.
for example a US hacker may delete a message from a user supporting israel (or the us), so to make its poster perceive that Russian hackers deleted it.
today's social medias are a piece of shit, i never base my opinions over them.
JustTellTheTruth
I agree with that statement. It is very hard to trust anything or anyone anymore.. Even what you think you see.. For all you know it is a full blown PsyOp right in front of your eyes.
Social Media has become the sewer of the world. Facebook being the main toilet. LOL
I just found this … hilarious

Pompeo complains about Venezuelan children who don't have food and medicines, yet he represents a political party that doesn't wish to provide such for the citizens of America. Nonsense.
i sense a wind change the illuminati and theyre cohorts are starting to fail theyve failed in syria and seem to be failing in venezuala before this nobody has offered any real resistance to them hopefully this will be the start of something maybe it will inspire us in the west to take our countries back off these pedos

BGSU students analyzing the vast world of sport media.
With the NHL season underway, a lot happened this off-season but all teams have the same goal: make the playoffs and win the almighty Stanley Cup. So, how have all those off-season moves and predictions been looking after the first few games into this NHL season.
I think it is important to start with the new overtime format. Instead of the 4-on-4 overtime format, that resulted in only 35% of games tied after regulation ending in overtime, and the rest of the 65% of tied games ending in a shootout; the NHL has decided to move to a 3-on-3, 5-minute overtime format followed by a shootout. Overtime periods just got a lot more exciting. With a lot of ice and some of the most talented NHL players in that open space, you can expect a lot more overtime goals, and that is exactly what happened. The excitement about a game going into overtime has gone way up, and now has fans watching with large rushes of adrenaline. The NHL definitely got it right with this overtime format change.
Mike Babcock has moved on from the Detroit Red Wings to the Toronto Maple Leafs. It can easily be determined Babcock gave up success with the Red Wings for a lot more money and a much bigger challenge. The Detroit Red Wings is one of the most renowned teams in the NHL making the playoffs 24 years in a row. Now with a rookie head coach, Jeff Blashill, can the Red Wings keep it up or will they crumble? With the amount of talent Detroit has, along with the fact Blashill coached the AHL affiliate team of the Red Wings the Grand Rapids Griffins to a Calder Cup trophy (much of those players he coached are now playing for the Red Wings), I think the team will be in good hands. Blashill follows a system very similar to Babcock, and if it is truly similar to Babcocks, that means the team will stay successful. So far into the season it has been proven that the Red Wings are exactly where they left off with Babcock, continuing to be successful with two goaltenders whom are good enough to both be starting.
The Toronto Maple Leafs on the other hand, are still struggling. To put this team in perspective, their first line players would be on a third line at any decent NHL team. It will be interesting to see what Mike Babcock can do with this team, but I would not expect a quick fix. Babcock has been signed to a 8 year deal to see if he can be the magician to change this Leafs team around, and it is predicted that it will take a long two or possibly three seasons until we hear of the Maple Leafs making noise in the NHL. This has proven true because the Leafs have continued their losing woes in this 2015-2016 NHL season.
The last big story-line that is looked at is: what is the deal with the Chicago Blackhawks? Coming off of a Stanley Cup championship, can Chicago do it again? Unlikely. They lost some key players due to free agency and trades, but they will still be a force to be reckoned with considering their star players that have stayed are going to make up for the lack of those whom left.
Overall, it should be a great and interesting season this year, filled with some great goaltenders all looking to make a name for themselves and some trying to keep their name as one of the best in the game right now. We have top-notch rookies such as Connor McDavid, whom is compared to Sidney Crosby when he entered the league. Lastly, we have teams that could make a push to be a force this year such as the Florida Panthers, whom have come out this year with a lot of determination and force.
Look for an exciting year of hockey, and one that will probably be filled with the unexpected.

NIGERIA'S PARTNERSHIP OF SIXTY-ONE (61) YEARS: Together We Fall Or Divided We Stand?
Posted on September 16, 2021 September 16, 2021 By Butosh No Comments on NIGERIA'S PARTNERSHIP OF SIXTY-ONE (61) YEARS: Together We Fall Or Divided We Stand?
Nigeria is a country known to house one of the largest population of occupants through different reasons such as birth, migration, war, tourism, trade and many more. Among various countries that makes up Africa, Nigeria had once held the title of the "Giant of Africa", which she had lost along the passing years due to her various actions and negligence towards the economic, social, security, educational and most especially the justice system in the country. This title was lost through various contribution both on the part of the leaders and citizens at large, and she has continued to prove herself unworthy of maintaining the title once held.
Before the so called great independence and enslaving colonization, Nigeria was an independent bundle regions on its own, although it had no name then, it was just a place that houses different people with different cultures, tradition and beliefs, they all lived peacefully independent of one another, with some involvement of inter and intra tribal wars or clashes here and there but that did not stop them from living as separate entities.
The country has a population of about 140 million with not less than 250 ethnic groups, three (3) of which are the majority groups. The majority groups include the Hausa/Fulani in the North, the Yoruba speaking people in the South/West and the Igbo speaking people in the Eastern part.
These groups, because of their opportunistic positions have been seen as consistently dominating the political as well as economic scene before and after the attainment of the 1960 independence. Each region had their designated rulers the Oba's who ruled the Yoruba people, Emir's for the Hausa people, and the Igwe's for the Igbo people were the then custodian of power before colonization pounced. Nigeria's fall began through the selfishness and inconsideration of people in power who were tricked through goodies, religion, education and lot more which the colonist brought.
After colonization the regions with individual beliefs had been named "Niger Area" which was later reformed into what was called "Nigeria". This new name brought different tribes and people together as one, what could have been better after the Independence from colonization but rebranding a nation was just not enough, the thirst for power grew and the killing started among inter and intra ethnical people of the so called one nation Nigeria, where we have the so called Biafra people, the Oduduwa people and the great Hausa/Fulani's people striving to be in control without thinking of how fast the rebranded Nigeria is been torn down.
Over the years there has been various modern tribalistic wars fought within the country the likes of: Boko haram, Niger delta avengers, Fulani herds men, Indigenous people of Biafra (ipob), and the Oduduwa nation which is soon to emerge.
Subsequently over the years there had been various reports on different species and specializations' of conflicts and crises in the country. There are numerous and various causes of crises and conflicts in Nigeria.
First, it is the challenge of Identity. Identity in my opinion is the distinguishing and unique feature any group or individual should possess, based on the individual, it might be certain attributes, behavioral pattern and even the style of thinking, but the basic identities are ethnicity, religion, regionalism, class, gender and youth. These different identities contribute to conflict in Nigeria.
Furthermore, another cause of ethnic crisis in Nigeria is colonialism that was boosted by military dictatorship and strengthened by the contradictions embedded in the Nigerian federalism. This has led large and heterogeneous numbers of politically, ethnically and religiously motivated conflicts in Nigeria.

The feeling of people on social injustice is another problem threatening the Nigeria's unity and National development. This made people feel that institutions such as central and local governments behave in discriminatory or at best unpredictable ways and no longer trust them to come with fair and balanced policies. People then resort to violence to ensure justice.
Poverty is also seen as another cause of crises in Nigeria. "Poverty in Nigeria has assumed the moral character of war, and this is what reflected in much of the violence in this country" (Human Rights Watch, 2006).For instance, the resurgence in northern Nigeria could also partly be explained by the failure of politics in Nigeria to produce well enough social goods, maintain security and welfare, and ensure justice.
Why then should we still pretend to be a nation when we are internally divided? How can each ethnic stand independent of itself if the thirst of power should be curbed individually? Why can't people stand against all injustice they are been served and demand for a brighter future? Is there still hope for a brighter future for people if we stay as one? People die daily due to unemployment, insecurity, poverty, hunger, diseases and many more.
More places like Lagos, Abuja, Kano are the major cities with greener pastures were people are overcrowded, lives are been endangered daily, youthful days are been wasted and lost, why then can't minor cities be developed to accommodate people and enhance development? These questions and many more are to be asked of our selves before we can decide if we stay glued together or divided. Should Nigeria stay as one or return to been divided?
In my own opinion, I will suggest we build the individual mind set and thinking of the country. Corruption and other vices did not just spring up from the higher up in power, it started from little and humble beginning such as our mindset, family, youths, schools, parent and many more.
A quotation from the bible says "if the foundation be destroyed what can the righteous do" if we cannot make even small changes as little as it may be towards ourselves, homes, schools, communities, societies and even regions how then can we build a better nation filled with milk and honey. Honesty goes a long way in redeeming ourselves, both in the present and future.
Equal power to serve the nation, resources needed, and also support and motivation should be given to leaders who have truly dedicated themselves, time, resources and energy to the service of the people. People should not be afraid to speak out when necessary.
Finally no one is above the law, being in the sit of power does not qualify anyone has been superior to everyone who voted or raised you to that attained position. If you are too big to serve then you are definitely too small to lead, do not betray the trust of your supporters and endorsers.

Dmytro Shutkov turns 44! We are sending our greetings to the birthday boy and wish him sound health, peace, prosperity and new achievements.
- Dmytro, you have dedicated your entire player career to Shakhtar, having been working for a few years as a member of Mircea Lucescu's coaching staff. How has your outlook changed after undertaking coaching duties?
- A player is responsible for himself, while a coach is responsible for his charges. In my opinion, the work of the coach requires more responsibility. Besides, I used to think that it's tougher for the players, because of great workloads. But now I think that it's even harder for the coaches since they are under even greater pressure, in psychological terms.
- Could you name the three main components of a successful goalkeeping career?
- Mental stability, physical strength and a good mentor.
- These days, the training process of Shakhtar goalkeepers is different from the one when you played?
- Previously, they payed less attention to such a component as footwork. Nowadays, in this respect, the goalkeepers have got equal with outfield players, with some even surpassing the latter. In training, we offer the goalkeepers a great many exercises in this activity line. We also pay attention to psychology. Back in my time, the player had to cope with psychological pressure on their own.
- What do you do in the situation when some of your charges plays unsuccessfully?
- The match is over – 'the train has left the station'. Therefore, shouting and blaming them makes no sense: the goalkeeper perfectly understands himself that he played poorly, being aware of the kind of error he made. You just need to make match analysis and draw conclusions for the future. I'm not advocating the following approach: "I wouldn't have played like that in your situation." There is no goalkeeper who never makes mistakes, there are just ups and downs. I try not to make myself look important, demanding the same from the lads.
- Was the transition from player to coach hard for you?
- To be honest, it was not easy psychologically. For many years I used to live one lifestyle, and then it all ended up. I am very grateful to the club management for their support. After the end of the season 2007/08 and a short break, we gathered together at the base, and Mister offered me to stay in the team as a coach. At the time, I did not even have a licence, I only had playing experience. I began to delve into the new job, assisted to Marianu Ionita and simultaneously attended a coaching course, during the winter break, when I had some free time, I also conducted training sessions at the Shakhtar Academy - 3-4 sessions per day. Now I have the A category. According to UEFA requirements, starting from 2019, the goalkeeping coaches in Ukraine will be required to have a special licence. In a short while, on 11 April, I am going to attend the new course to last for about six months.

Environmental enteric dysfunction (EED) affects 50-90% of children in low-income countries and is likely an important factor in child stunting as it impedes efficient nutrient uptake in the small intestine. EED is suspected to be the result of persistent exposure to enteric pathogens, although it has not been correlated with any specific pathogen. My research explores the interplay of gut microbiota, including enteric pathogens, and the host immune system with a focus on understanding EED so we can rationally design treatments and preventive measures.

Effect of water, sanitation, handwashing and nutrition interventions on enteropathogens in children 14 months old: a cluster-randomized controlled trial in rural Bangladesh. The Journal of infectious diseases Grembi, J. A., Lin, A., Karim, M. A., Islam, M. O., Miah, R., Arnold, B. F., McQuade, E. T., Ali, S., Rahman, M. Z., Hussain, Z., Shoab, A. K., Famida, S. L., Hossen, M. S., Mutsuddi, P., Rahman, M., Unicomb, L., Haque, R., Taniuchi, M., Liu, J., Platts-Mills, J. A., Holmes, S. P., Stewart, C. P., Benjamin-Chung, J., Colford, J. M., Houpt, E. R., Luby, S. P. 2020
BACKGROUND: We evaluated the impact of low-cost water, sanitation, handwashing (WSH) and child nutrition interventions on enteropathogen carriage in the WASH Benefits cluster-randomized controlled trial in rural Bangladesh.METHODS: We analyzed 1411 routine fecal samples from children 14±2 months old in the WSH (n = 369), nutrition counseling plus lipid-based nutrient supplement (n = 353), nutrition plus WSH (n = 360), and control (n = 329) arms for 34 enteropathogens using quantitative PCR. Outcomes included the number of co-occurring pathogens; cumulative quantity of four stunting-associated pathogens; and prevalence and quantity of individual pathogens. Masked analysis was by intention-to-treat.RESULTS: 326 (99.1%) control children had one or more enteropathogens detected (mean 3.8±1.8). Children receiving WSH interventions had lower prevalence and quantity of individual viruses than controls (prevalence difference for norovirus: -11% [95% confidence interval [CI], -5 to -17%]; sapovirus: -9% [95%CI, -3 to -15%]; and adenovirus 40/41: -9% [95%CI, -2 to - 15%]). There was no difference in bacteria, parasites, or cumulative quantity of stunting-associated pathogens between controls and any intervention arm.CONCLUSIONS: WSH interventions were associated with fewer enteric viruses in children aged 14 months. Different strategies are needed to reduce enteric bacteria and parasites at this critical young age.

Gold-standard cholera diagnostics are tarnished by lytic bacteriophage and antibiotics. Journal of clinical microbiology Nelson, E. J., Grembi, J. A., Chao, D. L., Andrews, J. R., Alexandrova, L., Rodriguez, P. H., Ramachandran, V. V., Sayeed, M. A., Wamala, J. F., Debes, A. K., Sack, D. A., Hryckowian, A. J., Haque, F., Khatun, S., Rahman, M., Chien, A., Spormann, A. M., Schoolnik, G. K. 2020
A fundamental, clinical and scientific concern is how lytic bacteriophage, as well as antibiotics, impact diagnostic positivity. Cholera was chosen as a model disease to investigate this important question because cholera outbreaks enable large enrollment, field methods are well established, and the predatory relationship between lytic bacteriophage and the etiologic agent Vibrio cholerae share commonalities across bacterial taxa. Patients with diarrheal disease were enrolled at two remote hospitals in Bangladesh. Diagnostic performance was assessed as a function of lytic bacteriophage detection and exposure to the first-line antibiotic azithromycin detected in stool samples by mass spectrometry. Among diarrheal samples positive by nanoliter quantitative PCR for V. cholerae (n=78/849), the odds that a rapid diagnostic test (RDT) or qPCR was positive was reduced by 89% (OR 0.108; 95%CI 0.002-0.872) and 87% (OR 0.130; 95%CI 0.022-0.649) when lytic bacteriophage were detected, respectively. The odds that a rapid diagnostic test (RDT) or qPCR was positive was reduced by more than 99% (OR 0.00; 95% CI: 0.00-0.28) and 89% (OR 0.11; 95% CI: 0.03-0.44) when azithromycin was detected, respectively. Analysis of additional samples from South Sudan found similar phage effects on RDTs; antibiotics were not assayed. Cholera burden estimates may improve by accommodating for the negative effects of lytic bacteriophage and antibiotic exposure on diagnostic positivity. One accommodation is using bacteriophage detection as proxy for pathogen detection. These findings have relevance for other diagnostic settings where bacterial pathogens are vulnerable to lytic bacteriophage predation.

High-Throughput Multiparallel Enteropathogen Detection via Nano-Liter qPCR. Frontiers in cellular and infection microbiology Grembi, J. A., Mayer-Blackwell, K., Luby, S. P., Spormann, A. M. 2020; 10: 351
Quantitative molecular diagnostic methods can effectively detect pathogen-specific nucleic acid sequences, but costs associated with multi-pathogen panels hinder their widespread use in research trials. Nano-liter qPCR (nL-qPCR) is a miniaturized tool for quantification of multiple targets in large numbers of samples based on assay parallelization on a single chip, with potentially significant cost-savings due to rapid throughput and reduced reagent volumes. We evaluated a suite of novel and published assays to detect 17 enteric pathogens using a commercially available nL-qPCR technology. Amplification efficiencies ranged from 88 to 98% (mean 91%) and were reproducible across four operators at two separate facilities. When applied to fecal material, assays were sensitive and selective (99.8% of DNA amplified were genes from the target organism). Due to nanofluidic volumes, detection limits were 1-2 orders of magnitude less sensitive for nL-qPCR than an enteric TaqMan Array Card (TAC). However, higher detection limits do not hinder detection of diarrhea-causing pathogen concentrations. Compared to TAC, nL-qPCR displayed 99% (95% CI 0.98, 0.99) negative percent agreement and 62% (95% CI 0.59, 0.65) overall positive percent agreement for presence of pathogens across diarrheal and non-diarrheal fecal samples. Positive percent agreement was 89% among samples with concentrations above the nL-qPCR detection limits. nL-qPCR assays showed an underestimation bias of 0.34 log10 copies/gram of stool [IQR -0.40, -0.28] compared with TAC. With 12 times higher throughput for a sixth of the per-sample cost of the enteric TAC, the nL-qPCR chip is a viable alternative for enteropathogen quantification for studies where other technologies are cost-prohibitive.

Shared bacterial communities between soil, stored drinking water, and hands in rural Bangladeshi households. Water research X Fuhrmeister, E. R., Ercumen, A., Grembi, J. A., Islam, M., Pickering, A. J., Nelson, K. L. 2020; 9: 100056
Understanding household-level transmission pathways of fecal pathogens can provide insight for developing effective strategies to reduce diarrheal illness in low- and middle-income countries. We applied whole bacterial community analysis to investigate pathways of bacterial transmission in 50 rural Bangladeshi households. SourceTracker was used to quantify the shared microbial community in household reservoirs (stored drinking water, soil, and hands) and estimate the percentage of fecal-associated bacteria from child and mothers' feces in these reservoirs. Among the reservoirs studied, most bacterial transfer occurred between mothers' and children's hands and between mothers' hands and stored water. The relative percentage of human fecal-associated bacteria in all household reservoirs was low. We also quantified the number of identical amplicon sequence variants within and between individual households to assess bacterial community exchange in the domestic environment. Intra-household sharing of bacteria between mothers' and children's hands and between hands and soil was significantly greater than inter-household sharing.

Effects of water, sanitation, handwashing, and nutritional interventions on environmental enteric dysfunction in young children: a cluster-randomized controlled trial in rural Bangladesh. Clinical infectious diseases : an official publication of the Infectious Diseases Society of America Lin, A., Ali, S., Arnold, B. F., Rahman, M. Z., Alauddin, M., Grembi, J., Mertens, A. N., Famida, S. L., Akther, S., Hossen, M. S., Mutsuddi, P., Shoab, A. K., Hussain, Z., Rahman, M., Unicomb, L., Ashraf, S., Naser, A. M., Parvez, S.

G., Colford, J. M., Luby, S. P. 2019
BACKGROUND: We hypothesized that drinking water, sanitation, handwashing (WSH) and nutritional interventions would improve environmental enteric dysfunction (EED), a potential contributor to stunting.METHODS: Within a subsample of a cluster-randomized controlled trial in rural Bangladesh, we enrolled pregnant women in four arms: control, combined WSH, child nutrition counseling plus lipid-based nutrient supplements (N), and combined nutrition plus WSH (N+WSH). Among the birth cohort, we measured biomarkers of gut inflammation (myeloperoxidase, neopterin), permeability (alpha-1-antitrypsin, lactulose, mannitol), and repair (regenerating gene 1beta) at median ages 3, 14, and 28 months. Analysis was intention-to-treat.RESULTS: We assessed 1512 children. At age 3 months, compared to controls, neopterin was reduced by nutrition (-0.21 log nmol/L, CI -0.37, -0.05) and N+WSH (-0.20 log nmol/L, CI -0.34, -0.06) interventions; similar reductions were observed at 14 months. At 3 months, all interventions reduced lactulose and mannitol (-0.60 to -0.69 log mmol/L). At 28 months, myeloperoxidase was elevated in the WSH (0.23 log ng/ml, CI 0.06, 0.39) and nutrition (0.27 log ng/ml, CI 0.07, 0.47) arms and lactulose was higher in the WSH arm (0.30 log mmol/L, CI 0.07, 0.53).CONCLUSIONS: Reductions in permeability and inflammation at ages 3 and 14 months suggest that the interventions promoted healthy intestinal maturation; however, by 28 months the WSH and nutrition arms showed elevated EED biomarkers. These results underscore the importance of better understanding the pathophysiology of EED and targeting interventions early in childhood during the critical period when they are likely to have the largest benefit to intestinal health.(ClinicalTrials.gov NCT01590095).
Identification of widespread antibiotic exposure in cholera patients correlates with clinically relevant microbiota changes. The Journal of infectious diseases Alexandrova, L., Haque, F., Rodriguez, P., Marrazzo, A. C., Grembi, J. A., Ramachandran, V., Hryckowian, A. J., Adams, C. M., Siddique, M. S., Khan, A. I., Qadri, F., Andrews, J. R., Rahman, M., Spormann, A. M., Schoolnik, G. K., Chien, A., Nelson, E. J. 2019
A first step to combating antimicrobial resistance in enteric pathogens is to establish an objective assessment of antibiotic exposure. Our goal was to develop and evaluate a liquid chromatography-ion trap mass spectrometry (LC/MS) method to determine antibiotic exposure in cholera patients.A priority list for targeted LC/MS was generated from medication vendor surveys in Bangladesh. A study of cholera and non-cholera patients was conducted to collect and analyze paired urine and stool samples.Among 845 patients, 11% (n=90) were Vibrio cholerae positive; at least one antibiotic was detected in 86% and at least two in 52% of cholera stools. Among paired urine and stool (n=44), at least one antibiotic was detected in 98% and at least two in 84%, despite 55% self-reporting medication use. Compared to LC/MS, a low-cost antimicrobial detection bio-assay lacked sufficient negative predictive value (10%; 95% CI 6-16). Detection of guideline-recommended antibiotics in stool did (azithromycin; p=0.040) and did not (ciprofloxacin) correlate with V. cholerae suppression. A non-recommended antibiotic (metronidazole) was associated with decreases in anaerobes (Prevotella; p<0.001).The findings suggest there may be no true negative control group when attempting to account for antibiotic exposure in settings like those in this study.

This is a DMR fill-in repeater to cover Romney Marsh and coastal area from Rye Bay to Hythe. Previously DMR mobile reception was very patchy on Romney Marsh and virtually non-existent around Lydd, New Romney and coastal areas especially Hythe.
The repeater is linked to and complements the existing DMR repeaters, GB7AS, GB7CF GB7CK and GB7EK, so the whole area will be covered whilst roaming using a Motorola or Hytera radio, it should also provide handheld coverage to many parts of Romney Marsh.
We need to raise money for this repeater, please do support Folkestone Repeater Group if you are a DMR user.

Medical Malpractice Cases And You: Lessons Learned
By Dean I Weitzman, Esq. on October 20th, 2011
Errors by doctors, nurses, hospitals and other staff members happen regularly. The best protection for you and your loved ones is to know your rights.
A 51-year-old Lehigh Valley nun was admitted into a hospital last Dec. 21 with flu-like symptoms. A little more than two weeks later, she was dead, with her death caused by "therapeutic misadventure," in a ruling by a Lehigh County coroner.
In a separate case, a 62-year-old Philadelphia man had to have more than two feet of his colon removed after a doctor caused perforations during a colonoscopy conducted in 2008.
In both cases, patients were greatly harmed due to alleged errors in their care.
The case involving the nun is just beginning its way through the courts after a lawsuit was filed by the nun's estate, alleging medical treatment errors when her bedside blood sugar test results differed from more reliable laboratory tests, according to a story in The Morning Call in Allentown.
The lawsuit alleges that hospital tests done with a hand-held monitor and paper strips showed on Jan. 3 that her blood sugar levels were elevated, the story says. In response, "doctors ordered that she receive insulin to lower her blood sugar levels," according to the newspaper. "More reliable lab tests, however, showed that her blood sugar levels were 'far below normal,' a state Department of Health report found."
A nurse soon discovered the incorrect information later but the insulin wasn't halted, which continued to lower the woman's blood sugar levels, the story says. Soon, the nun was comatose and she died three days later.
The lawsuit alleges that "the hospital staff failed to handle the bedside test equipment and the paper strips properly" because the test strips were faulty.

In the colonoscopy case, the patient was recently awarded a $2 million verdict against his two doctors for errors in his care that led to his injuries, according to a story in The Legal Intelligencer.
The man's colon was apparently "dramatically overinflated" by one of the doctors during the colonoscopy, according to a pre-trial motion, which apparently led to perforations of the colon. He later required emergency surgery to repair the problem, the story reported.
Both cases are clear reminders that patients and their families must be vigilant about the medical care that they receive. Questions about treatment, risks and procedures must be asked of doctors and other medical staff before procedures begin so that patients and their families know what is expected and what will happen.
But at the same time, patients and families aren't doctors and they can't know every question to ask. That's where skilled, expert, compassionate and thorough legal representation is needed by patients and their families who have been harmed by medical errors or omissions during their treatment.
These kinds of cases happen on a regular basis, but they can be fought by legal teams that are prepared to fight for their client's rights all along the way to a fair settlement or just verdict.
We here at MyPhillyLawyer stand ready to help you and your loved ones if you are severely injured in an incident of medical malpractice. Call us for a consultation and tell us what happened so we can determine how we can assist you.

Midas List
Jenny Lee of GGV Capital on What to Know Now About China
Jenny Lee of GGV Capital knows China. She set up the Shanghai practice of the cross-border venture firm a decade ago, and her performance since earned her the number 10 slot on Forbes's Midas List earlier this year. It was the first time a woman has broken into the list's top 10 dealmakers and hers represented the highest ranking ever for a woman in the list's history. (Among Lee's prescient bets: Leading an investment in the privately held smartphone maker Xiaomi, which was valued at $45 billion as of last December — a figure that billionaire investor Yuri Milner has said will look quaint soon enough.)
We talked with her recently about what, exactly, is happening in her vast backyard right now.
A few weeks ago, the Chinese economy was the talk of the town. Can you summarize what happened and what we should expect moving forward?
The Chinese stock market, which is largely retail driven, took a dive for a few consecutive weeks and resulted in a series of panic selling. The government had to step in with measures to calm down the market, including putting a temporary halt on new IPOs, halting trading on [other stocks], and encouraging the state-owned companies to acquire shares of "undervalued" listed companies in order to restore confidence in the market.
It is important to understand that the Chinese stock exchanges are still relatively young, and over the years they've been steadily opening up and attracting more institutional investors similar to international markets. However, the transition will take time and investors in China will need to have a strong stomach for such fluctuations. For example, the IPO market has been halted more than 8 times in the last 20-plus years whenever retail frenzy takes hold. But from a long-term perspective, the direction is toward more openness and transparency and on cultivating an investor base that is more institutional versus retail driven.
How has the correction in Chinese markets affected early-stage entrepreneurship in China? Do you believe it could have any affect on what's happening in the U.S.?
Historically, only traditional and local companies –stated-owned, manufacturing, etc. — have been listed locally. The markets have profitability listing rules that have made it harder or impossible for technology companies to fund raise or list in the local markets. But despite past events, early-stage entrepreneurship in China (which, interestingly is largely technology and internet driven) continues to flourish and we see a record number of startups every day. Good quality companies will always be able to find a listing venue either offshore or onshore when they are ready.
I believe China entrepreneurship will continue to generate some of the biggest returns in tech history, and for those who are familiar with China and the China-based VC managers who have generated real returns for their investors, the market will continue to be a hot spot for fund inflows.
On a short-term basis, any impact in the U.S. will likely be felt most by the Chinese ADRs listed in the U.S. whose stock prices see huge downwards pressure when their investors take profits to fulfill their margin calls for their domestic positions in the China stock market.
What are three characteristics of the typical Chinese mobile consumer that entrepreneurs in the West don't fully comprehend?
Chinese mobile consumers are not one homogenous segment but rather highly segmented by age, usage behavior, demographics gender, location, and more. A 14-year-old female teenager living in Anhui province is very different from a 40-year-old woman working in Shanghai. For example, companies can target the "average joe" segment, also known as "diaosi" users, or target the "aspiring" segment, also known as "baifumei." Both are huge consumer segments in China.
Another thing: Chinese companies prefer the subscription model, virtual currency/ items, commerce model versus a pure ad-based model. Most people do not consume ads online, especially on mobile.
Also worth noting is that a lack of a fully built-out offline retail and services in second- and third-tier cities in China means that many services and products are not available offline. Variety and convience factors are lacking. Hence mobile commerce is a very natural transaction-based value for users. Thanks to Alipay and Tencent's further efforts to tie users' phones to payment providers, the ease of payment has greatly enhanced e-commerce, and anytime anywhere transactions via the mobile devices.
As a long-time observer of Baidu, Alibaba, Tencent, and Xiaomi, do you expect them to be acquisitive in the U.S. as a means of deepening their ambitions in America?
Yes, you will start to see more Chinese companies expand overseas after they have "conquered" enough market share in China. The question is not whether they will come but when they do come, how U.S. companies will feel about feeling acquired by a Chinese company.
How does the Chinese startup ecosystem perceive Silicon Valley today? Is it seen as something to mimic, or something that could be leapfrogged given China's enormous market power?
It's seen as place that is driven by innovation and where the tech talent lives in the U.S. Many CEOs see Silicon Valley as a very complementary talent pool to their teams as they try to expand overseas. There's also a large pool of Chinese engineers and entrepreneurs who have spent the last 10 to 20 years living or working in the U.S., who are now ready to return home to China.
It's not about "mimicking" the U.S., since China is already more advanced in terms of mobile user base, mobile adoption and usage behavior. Also, the Chinese don't view the U.S. as the center of the universe. For overseas international markets, the U.S. is just one of the markets. They can also address the India market, the South American market or the Southeast Asia market, among others. In many cases, it makes more sense to address other markets first before the U.S. as Xiaomi has done.
