Children from Burkina Faso have very dark skin, hair and eyes. At the time of referral their ages range from infant to 15 years old. They are tested for HIV, TB and Hepatitis C prior to referral. The children we place come from orphanages. Some may come from a private Christian orphanage in the capital city of Ouagadougou. Kids to Adopt is happy to be working with the Burkinabe government and Fields of Grace Orphanage in Ouagadougou. At this time, Burkina Faso does not allow for pre-selection of children for adoption. While we work with and help to support Fields of Grace, adoptive families should be aware that referrals of children are made by Burkina Faso officials and children may come from other facilities. A portion of your adoption fees do provide support for local children and the Fields of Grace Orphanage and other programs.
Age – Adoptive parents must be at least 15 years and no more than 43 years older than the child being adopted.
Marital Status – Married couples only, must be married at least 5 years.
Religion – for more info please contact KTA.
Health – Parents should be in good physical and psychological health. All visitors to Burkina Faso are required to show proof of yellow fever vaccination upon entry. If you are concerned that you have a disability or are taking medication that could affect your adoption, please let us know.
Parents first send an application to Kids To Adopt.
Upon approval of application, Kids To Adopt will send an application (Family Book) to Burkina Faso for governmental pre-approval of the adoptive family.
Upon receipt of government approval, Kids To Adopt sends a contract to the adoptive family. Parents must sign the contract and send it back with the first payment.
Upon receipt of the signed contract, Kids To Adopt sends parents the Dossier Kit which includes instructions on compiling the documents required by Burkina Faso.
When parents have completed all of their paperwork, they send the completed dossier back to KTA. We proof your dossier, have it translated and then send it to the Burkina Faso embassy for legalization. After legalization your dossier is sent to Burkina Faso for final approval.
Adoptive parents will receive an official referral from the Burkina Faso Ministry of Social Welfare after final approval of their dossier.
Our coordinator and attorney in Burkina Faso complete the legal adoption process for the adoptive family. Families are not required to appear at the court hearing.
After finalization of the adoption, parents travel to Burkina Faso to bring their child home. Parents should expect this trip to be at least two weeks in length. We are told there will be a 10-14 day visitation requirement prior to receiving the child's visa.
Parents must submit post adoption reports 6 months after the adoption and then yearly until the child reaches her/his 18th birthday.
Please Note: Kids to Adopt recommends both adoptive parents travel to Burkina Faso to meet their child prior to the court hearing. U.S. immigration laws require both adoptive parents to meet the child prior to court in order for the child to be issued an IR-3 visa to automatically receive U.S. citizenship upon entering the United States. Foreign adopted children who do not travel on an IR-3 visa are not immediate U.S. citizens and may not be eligible for certain local, state or federal benefits until their citizenship is petitioned and granted.

"Last Week Tonight" Is The Best News Show On Television – Here's 9 Clips That Prove It (VIDEO)
Xilla Valentine
I am a self-taught journalist who overcame insurmountable odds to become a prominent voice in entertainment.
John Oliver is fucking hilarious. He's also a motherfucking genius.
HBO's Last Week Tonight with John Oliver has quickly become the best show on television in my opinion. It's gritty in that HBO way, but also well-informed and brilliant in a way that all news should be.
The show tackles issues that you'll never see on your local network, and topics that the cable news shows just won't touch. I watch every single week, I laugh and learn at the same damn time.
But last night, the former Daily Show correspondent really nailed the Ferguson police shooting of Mike Brown, and now it seems like a lot more people are aware of the show.
But for those who are just getting acquainted, check out some of the best clips that will have you watching Last Week Tonight every weekend – every Sunday at 11 p.m. on HBO, that is.
John Oliver completely owns the New York Port Authority:

Q: Do APNS push notifications work after removing an app from the App store? I am in the process from transitioning an iOS app from one developer account to another. The original app uses APNS push notifications extensively, and wouldn't be very useful were they to stop.
To remove confusion about app duplication and rights, I am planning on marking the original app as 'Developer Removed from Sale' in iTunesConnect while the new app is in the review process.
Later, I will submit an update to the original app which points the old users to the new app in the App Store.
My question is: If I mark an app as removed from sale, will my existing APNS notifications continue to work for people who have already downloaded the old application? Note: I am not deleting the application, merely marking it as not for sale.

A: If the application hasn't changed of appId on the same Apple account, notifications will continue to work, if the certificate is not revoked, or expired.

Home American History The Schooner Ernestina – Crossing the Atlantic
The Schooner Ernestina – Crossing the Atlantic
Schooner Ernestina - Effie M. Morrissey 1894
The schooner Ernestina (ex. Effie M. Morrissey) was used in the Cape Verde Packet trade that carried goods and Cape Verdeans from the islands and the United States.
The 1894 schooner Ernestina (ex. Effie M. Morrissey), the official sailing vessel of Massachusetts, had completed three major careers by the end of World War II. She had been a Grand Banks fishing schooner; an Arctic explorer under Captain Bob Bartlett; and a U. S. Government supply ship for airbases near the Arctic Circle. Her next career would seal her legacy as an international ambassador. She would sail across the Atlantic Ocean to the Cape (Cabo) Verde Islands, off the coast of western Africa, and return to New England.
The Schooner Effie M. Morrissey Prepares to Sail to the Cape Verde Islands
After World War II, the schooner Effie M. Morrissey was docked at the Flushing Boat Basin in New York when a fire started in the galley and caused considerable damage to the ship's interior. In order to save her, she was deliberately sunk to extinguish the fire. The year was 1947 and she had just undergone $30,000 of modernization by her new owners for a cruise to Tahiti. Friends of former skipper, Captain Bob Bartlett, said that she "committed suicide" rather than allow herself to become a luxury cruise ship headed for the South Pacific. She was raised, sold to the Pequot Marine Corporation in New London for $500, and towed to Rowayton, Connecticut, where she was purchased by a woman whose father-in-law would sail the schooner across the Atlantic.
Henrique Mendes was a native Cape Verdean living in New Bedford. He used old schooners to sail from New Bedford to the islands, transporting goods and people between the various islands and back to New England. This was part of the Cape Verde Packet trade which was resuming now that World War II had ended. He had already made over fifty crossings but due to the perils of sailing in the North Atlantic, had lost four ships between the years of 1914 to 1935. He spent six months getting the schooner ready and sailed her to Cape Verde for the first time in 1948. In addition to her crew, she carried a cargo of 50 tons of food and clothing, and one passenger.
From Effie M. Morrissey to Ernestina – The Schooner's New Name and New Life
When the schooner arrived in Cape Verde, she was still called Effie M. Morrissey. After her arrival, Captain Mendes registered her in Cape Verde and changed her name to Ernestina in honor of his daughter. From then on, the schooner would be known as Ernestina.
For the next twenty-five years, she would be used as both an inter-island and trans-Atlantic vessel. She carried goods for trade, transported students to the various islands, Cape Verdeans to their jobs, friends and families across the ocean, immigrants to the United States, and delivered Christmas presents from the U.S. to Cape Verde. Upon her return trips to the U.S., she would dock at the State Pier in Providence.
There were many stories to tell about the schooner and her crew. Ernestina endured rough seas, dangerous fog, and being dismasted at sea; she celebrated romances and weddings including that of Captain Mendes' son; there were times when she ran out of fuel and risked drifting in strong currents; her passengers learned basic English phrases and the pledge of allegiance from Captain Mendes; and she was in various ports on both sides of the Atlantic, including New Bedford, for needed repairs.
She was showing signs of the wear and tear of sailing in the North Atlantic. The colonial government of the Cape Verde Islands had been purchasing several vessels. Ernestina was used less and less until her life as an inter-island packet ship was over. She stopped sailing in 1974.
Sailing Home to Distant Shores
Ernestina was invited to participate in OpSail 1976 for the United States' Bicentennial. People worked twelve-hour shifts for weeks to get her ready, but she developed engine trouble shortly after setting sail. Then, high winds and stormy seas caused the foremast to crack. As it fell, it took the mainmast and the sails with it. No one was lost or injured but the schooner was in danger. Both masts were pounding against her side. In order to save her, all the rigging had to be cut off leaving the new sails in the ocean to sink.
It wouldn't be until 1982 that Ernestina would make one last voyage across the Atlantic. Cape Verde was offering the schooner as a gift to the country of her birth. She would come home under sail power only, with crew from both sides of the ocean, docking first in Newport, Rhode Island, before going on to New Bedford. She would come home to cheering crowds, champagne receptions, and heart-felt emotions. She would come home, this time, to stay.

Q: Best practices for updating current data Firebase database after adding some more denormalization I wanted to check on the best and recommended practices for updating current data in a Firebase database after I decide to have some more duplicated data to support some complex querying or just to make it easier to read data. For e.g., I have list of users in my Firebase database and each user look like
users
 -KGvMIPwul2dUYABCDEF
   countryCode: 1
   id: -KGvMIPwul2dUYABCDEF
   mobileNumber: 1231231234
   name: Varun Gupta

I have been querying a user based on his mobile number which works with current data. Now, I get a requirement to also query a user based on the combination of the country code and mobile number. So, I decide to add some duplicated data in order to make the query easy and the new user would look like
users
 -KGvMIPwul2dUYABCDEF
   countryCode: 1
   id: -KGvMIPwul2dUYABCDEF
   mobileNumber: 1231231234
   name: Varun Gupta
   mobileNumberWithCC: 11231231234

I will have the mobileNumberWithCC for all the new users but I also want to update the current users with this information. I want to ask for the best practices for updating the database in such a scenario. Should I just write some code using admin SDK to update the required data and run it once or are there any other suggested ways to do this.
Thanks!

A: Create a method like this in which you can update your data at once:
private static void updateUser(String userId) {
    Map<String, Object> map = new HashMap<>();
    map.put("/users/" + userId + "/", new HashMap<>().put("mobileNumber", 1231231234));
    map.put("/users/" + userId + "/", new HashMap<>().put(mobileNumberWithCC, 11231231234));
    yourReference.updateChildren(map);
}

Or even simpler:
yourReference.child(users).child(userId).child(mobileNumber).setValue(1231231234);
yourReference.child(users).child(userId).child(mobileNumberWithCC).setValue(11231231234);

Q: Application specific linux system tuning I'm running an application under wine (Navico insight map creator) on multiple machines and am in the process of benchmarking and optimizing the performance of this process.
I find the following interwsting.
Windows:
Application set to unlimitrd cache takes 25% of the time that using no cache / decache unused does.
While using unlimited cache, it seem a to use a bit more CPU, about 30% load on an 8 core and (fx-8150) with ram at 2133mhz
But under Linux, CPU is maxed out (according to system monitor) on dual e5-2697 v2's in an dell R720
With no change in processing time between cache settings.
So, I'm trying to figure out how i can find the bottlenecks in the Linux system and if the system monitor is actually reporting CPU usage properly or if there is an I/o bottleneck somewhere. Ram is too slow? Or maybe its just an issue with running under wine?
I'm currently in the process of running the same exact data through this application and timing it with the various systems to have an equal comparison of performance.
Any information regarding identifying bottlenecks would be greatly appreciated.


There's a compelling lesson in physician marketing in this story.
A while back, on an ordinary morning in Washington, DC, a street musician played his violin for 45 minutes in the L'Enfant Plaza Metro subway station. Few people paid attention to the music or stopped to listen. For his efforts, the street musician collected $32.17 from 27 passing commuters.
Among the hundreds of people who heard his performance that cold January morning, only one person recognized the incognito "subway musician" was actually the "poet of the violin," Joshua Bell, one of the world's most celebrated violinists, and perhaps the greatest violist of our time.
What's more, the virtuoso was playing a 1713 Antonio Stradivarius violin—valued at over $3.5 million—in the subway that morning. For the unseeing, unhearing commuters, he played some of the most intricate and beautiful music ever written. Yet almost no one noticed.
If a great musician plays great music, but no one hears…was he really any good?
It turns out that maestro Bell's incognito performance "was arranged by The Washington Post as an experiment in context, perception and priorities, as well as an unblinking assessment of public taste: In a banal setting at an inconvenient time, would beauty transcend?" In this fascinating experiment, the answer is self-evident.
Our point—and the physician marketing lesson here—is that unless you're willing to settle for a few dollars in tips, clinical skills are just not enough to carry the day. Public awareness, appreciation, and marketing success require recognition and reputation for context. In the Washington Post's experiment, the context of a subway station's surroundings implied that the music or musician were not good enough for busy people to stop and hear the music.
In part, people judge value by image and by what they believe others think. Social Proof strongly influences the perceived value. And for a physician or surgeon, being clinically excellent is not good enough.
For your peers and colleagues, your professional reputation—and a 20-page CV with years of experience—is proof. But for the typical prospective, meaningful social proof might be ranking high among Google's Search results page. They are more likely to see social proof in recommendations and referrals of other patients, or in online comments.
Of course, this isn't to say that a physician's clinical excellence is not important to patients. But in the process of attracting and retaining prospective patients, social proof is a form of implied endorsement that says, "if others like you, you must be worthwhile." And conversely, without social proof, a person, practice or provider may be viewed as not worthwhile.
For more on this topic, read Pearls Before Breakfast by Washington Post columnist Gene Weingarten, who subsequently won a Pulitzer Prize for his feature writing about this experiment. And you can watch The Washington Post's video of Joshua Bell's subway station performance on YouTube.


Collection - Unwanted fat bulbs that just about everyone has used for general lighting in bedrooms since childhood are known as incandescent light bulbs. These lamps have been the product quality for many years as a result of natural, warm light they produce and their undeniable low price. These bulbs are very easy to put for the dimmer control in comparison with other lamp types.
Ths issue with incandescent bulbs is they consume two to three times more energy compared to the alternatives. This coordinated with an extremely shorter lifespan (up to 1,500 hours) than its competitors makes incandescent bulbs an expensive option. This has concluded in a worldwide movement to ban their use before 2014 as a energy. Some countries, including those who work in the European Union, previously begun this ban.

Team of All-woman Air India Pilots to Fly Over North Pole on World's Longest Flight Route
Women pilots from Air India are set to fly the longest flight route on Earth by flying across the North Pole | Image for representation |
An all-woman team of pilots led by Captain Zoya Agarwal is set to fly across the North Pole from San Francisco on January 9.
Buzz Staff
In a landmark journey, a team of all-woman pilots from Air India is set to create history by flying over the North Pole in an attempt to cover the world's longest air route. The flight, commanded by AI Captain Zoya Agarwal, will leave from San Franciso and reach Bengaluru after flying over the North Pole and covering a distance of 16,000 kilometres.
"Most people in the world will not see the North Pole or even its map in their lifetime," an excited Captain Agarwal told news agency ANI. "I feel truly feel privileged and humbled by the trust posed in me by the civil aviation ministry and our flag carrier," she added.
Agarwal and her team will be flying a Boeing 777 inaugural SFO-BLR and the Captain feels that getting to fly the aircraft over the world's longest flight route was a "golden opportunity".
This, however, is not the first achievement for Captain Agarwal, who in 2013 became the youngest woman ever to fly a Boeing-777.
Speaking to the news agency, an official from Air India said that the task was highly challenging and that airline companies only send the very best and most experienced of their pilots to fly over the North Pole.
"This time Air India has given responsibilities to a woman captain for the journey from San Fransico to Bengaluru via polar route," the official said.
Agarwal's team consists of highly talented and experienced captains including Thanmai Papagari, Akanksha Sonawane and Shivani Manhas. Agarwal added that she and her team were eagerly awaiting January 9 and that it was indeed a "dream come true for any professional pilot".
The announcement comes on the heels of a goods train in India that, in a first, was driven from Maharashtra to Vadodara by an all-woman crew. The move, initiated by Western Railways' Mumbai division, aims to break gender stereotypes when it comes to heavy-duty jobs such as becoming loco pilots or fitters, welders and machinists in the railways.

actually find inspiration and ideas, and then make them come alive? It is not an easy process, nor a linear one. Being creative is work, it takes time and effort. Ideas can be found in every place and every situation, even when you expect it the least. Creative process of an architect may differ from one another. One may just spend some quiet time and find a muse. While others may go out door or spend a lot of time on site. We would walk through the property and explore the area as the inspiration for Natya Resorts came to us.
For us, one of the initial and crucial processes in finding inspiration is to be open-minded and to take in any possibility out there. The process in making Natya Resort landscape design, of course, involved a lot of research and observation like in every other project. We spent some time on site to study the landscape as we wanted to truly feel the ambiance and it helped us to figure out what kind of story we would want to bring to the table. As architects, we always wish to provide unique experiences in every project to give a personal touch for people to remember hence, it is important to differentiate each project by paying more attention to details.
Bali's highland, we had to understand first the texture and contour of the landscape surrounding Ubud. The area is truly blessed with plenty of rainfall which makes the river flowing, rich soil, bountiful jungle and paddy rice all year around. These are the things that people come to Ubud for, it is what makes Ubud perfect for a peaceful and romantic retreat. The site is nestle deep in the heart of Ubud rain forest preserve. It is situated on the sides of a steep valley, a rather unusual land contour which was quite challenging. Another thing to keep in mind was that not only we had to preserve the native environment and nature, but also to respect the local tradition.
we used for Natya Resort Ubud are the concept of "tegalan" and "subak." Tegalan is a term for agricultural land turned into a plantation field, containing different variety of fruit trees and vegetation. As for subak, not only it functions as irrigation system for paddy fields in Bali but also a direct overview of the philosophy of Tri Hita Karana for Balinese people. There are a lot of tegalan and subak throughout the area, due to the richness and fertility of Ubud. We wanted to elevate the concept of tegalan and subak to the level of hospitality as in resorts and villa for this project.
Some of these flower plants and tress function as plants of birds, they would attract birds which is also good for the environment. They planted scattered all through the site, all along the pathways and around the villas. Meanwhile, we integrated the original subak to the manmade subak which flowing through the site.
Another concept for Natya came when thinking about Ubud as the heart of culture and art. It gave us an idea to bring the daily life of Bali through the details of artworks, and the application of local materials. Things such as chicken cages and cow's bell that are part of village landscape were utilized as lamp cases and hanging decoration. The pergolas all over the resort implemented hardwood like ironwood that is proper for outdoor usage. The relief carvings of Bali's daily life and folk stories on some kerobokan sandstone walls along the pathway in the project. We as well placed statues from sandstone and wooden artworks in every corner of the resort. We hoped these little; precise details will tell stories to the guests, adding a nice touch to their experience.
Talking to our clients is another thing in designing this project. We must know what the clients want and need. We tried our best to visualize it and were pleased to have one vision regarding the Natya Resort project with the owner. We seem to have a great synergy and often give each other feedback. The creative process in making the design of Natya Project was challenging and thrilling at the same time. Inspiration and ideas really came from many sources. We embraced them and incorporate one another with the result of some beautiful harmonious elements which makes Natya Resort truly one and only.

2417 days since the arrest of the SABA Islamic Center imam Rafic Labboun in Mexico for parole violation..
Son of imam of Saba Mosque of San Jose openly supports terrorism!
Unfortunately, some members of the Bay Area Shia community do in fact explicitly support terrorism. We set an example for the Muslim community in America and elsewhere by openly rejecting the misdeeds of such disturbed individuals. In this special video, the undercover investigative journalist Lee Kaplan and the TV host Zia Atabay discuss the pro-terrorism activities of Ali R. Mir (a.k.a.

Mount Barrow (Aboriginal: pialermeliggener) is a mountain in the northern region of Tasmania, Australia. With an elevation of  above sea level, the mountain is located  east-north-east of Launceston. The mountain habitat is a mixture of temperate old growth rainforest, subalpine and alpine landscapes.

Location and features

Mount Barrow is a Jurassic dolerite-capped plateau with widespread block fields and a sharp summit ridge at the north-eastern end. It is the closest alpine mountain to Launceston - the plateau extends to  and reaches a maximum altitude of  above sea level, making it the second highest peak in eastern Tasmania. The road to the summit is periodically closed in winter due to snow; near the summit this becomes a narrow gravel road leading to a parking area, with an old stone hut nearby. The snow line is located at around .

The mountain is in lands once occupied by Tasmanian Aborigines and lies at the border of country occupied by the Ben Lomond Nation, to the south; the Letteremairener Clan, in the Tamar Valley and the Pyemmairrenerpairrener clan, to the north-east.

Nomenclature

It is probable that the indigenous name for the mountain was pialermeliggener, transcribed by G.A. Robinson when he was searching the upper Pipers River area.  pialermeliggener is sometimes used to describe nearby Mt Arthur, but examination of Robinson's travels and the translation of the aboriginal word (with the suffix meaning cliffs or scree near summit) accord with the exposed cliffs on most faces of Mt Barrow.

The feature is shown as Row Tor on some maps of the area in the early 1800s although,  confusingly, this is most often used as the early toponym for nearby Mt Arthur.

The modern name is believed to have been for Sir John Barrow, a British Admiralty official.  It is probable that Lieutenant-Governor Franklin named the mountain in Sir John Barrow's honour; as the two were likely acquainted and the mountain first appears as such on maps during Franklin's Governorship.
Confusing the issue further, Mt Barrow is named  'Ben Loder' in John Glover's 1836 painting and the mountain is further mentioned in newspaper print several times as 'Mount Barron' - and may have been known colloquially as such in the 19th Century.

Cartography of the Mount Barrow region
Versions of Flinders' 1798 map, adapted in 1825, clearly show the Mt Barrow region depicted as Row Tor; however, maps of 1843 onwards clearly shows Mount Barrow marked in its present location and adds 'Row Tor' as the foothills slightly west towards Launceston. Later maps of the north-east show Row Tor as occupying the present day location of Mt Arthur, it's possible that originally Row Tor was the colloquial name for the broader north-east highlands region and the separate massifs of present-day Mount Arthur and Mount Barrow were delineated cartographically in the 1840s.

Geology of Mount Barrow

Mount Barrow is mostly dolomite from the Jurassic period, which has been predicted to have come to the surface around the late Cretaceous, with more recent granite developed in the Ice age. When the Ice age ended, rain would have washed away the stagnant dirt and uncovered the variety of rocks that can now be seen at the summit.

History of the Mount Barrow area

The mountain formed an imposing barrier to settlers for long into the 19th Century and the steep and rainforested country behind the mountain was visited infrequently.  In the 1830s the country was explored by George Robinson and the botanist Robert William Lawrence, who both commented on the steep and difficult country.
The hinterland was subject to scientific exploration by Paul Strzelecki in 1846 and prospectors gradually opened up the rugged country in the north-east after that time.

By the late 1870s settlement had made inroads into the surrounding valleys and the forests began to be exploited for their wood, as well as clearing country for emerging settlements such as Nunamara, Patersonia and Diddleum Plains.

A state reserve on Mount Barrow occupies  and is an important habitat for several threatened species. These include the Tasmanian Wedge-tailed Eagle, the spotted-tail quoll and Eastern quoll and the Mount Arthur Burrowing Crayfish. Marsupials regularly sighted on the mountain include wombats, pademelons, Bennett's wallabies and Forester kangaroos. The reserve also features a pleasant picnic ground with a nature trail beginning and ending there.

Numerous mountain streams are found across the escarpment and these can turn into substantial waterfalls after heavy snowfall.

Mount Barrow is the main television and FM radio transmission site for north east Tasmania. The broadcasting and telecommunication structures are subject to ice build up and have shields incorporated into their designs to prevent damage from falling ice. Due to the rugged terrain the programme reaches the sites via microwave links instead of the usual fibre optic cables. Electrical power reaches the facilities by an overhead line running up the eastern side of the mountain.

Genetic test may predict how long you live

A new groundbreaking genetic test that can predict whether a person is likely to live long enough to see their 100th birthday has been developed by scientists in Boston.
Lifespan is governed by a complex interplay of genes, lifestyle and environment with factors like smoking, diet, exercise and pollution all having a role, but many scientists believe that living beyond the mid-nineties is largely down to the inheritance of good genes.
'These families might share healthy lifestyles, but it also suggests that there is a strong genetic background to exceptional longevity' said Professor Paola Sebastiani, a biostatistician at Boston University.
Researchers at the University claim that the test can identify those who can look forward to an exceptionally long life with a 77% accuracy rate based on genetics alone.
Scientists identified 150 DNA sequence variations called single nucleotide polymorphisms among those 100 years old and above that may have contributed to their healthy aging. In the control group, 15% of participants had longevity-associated genes suggesting that 15% of the American population are predisposed to live to be 100.
'If we can pinpoint genetic variants that delay the onset of diseases, it could have very important medical implications for the population in general' said Sebastiani.

However, researchers noted that despite the high accuracy rate, there are still 23% of centenarians who do not have the predisposed genetic signatures suggesting environmental factors are still relevant.
If you were going to live to 100, would you really want to know? Would this information encourage you to enjoy life while you can or would it give you the impetus to take better care of yourself? Let us know your thoughts below…

Abu Nidal Organization (ANO)
Spinoff of the Palestine Liberation Organization
Has killed or maimed more than 900 people in over 20 countries
Founder Abu Nidal was given asylum by Saddam Hussein
The Abu Nidal Organization (ANO) is a secular international terrorist group that was founded in 1974 by the late Sabri al-Banna (a.k.a. Abu Nidal), who joined Yasser Arafat's Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) in 1967 and also spent some time representing Arafat's Fatah faction in Sudan and Iraq. ANO is also known by a number of alternate names, including: the Al-Fatah Revolutionary Council, the Arab Fedayeen Cells, the Arab Revolutionary Brigades, Black June, Black September (for attacks on Jordanian targets), the Egyptian Revolution, the Fatah Revolutionary Council, the Organization of Jund al Haq, the Palestine Revolutionary Council, Revolutionary Council of Fatah, and the Revolutionary Organization of Socialist Muslims (when the group claims credit for attacks on British targets).
From its inception, ANO's top priorities were to bring about the permanent destruction of Israel and to derail any diplomatic progress that the PLO or any other Arab regimes (as in Jordan or Egypt) might make in their dealings with the Jewish state. Abu Nidal flatly rejected Israel's right to exist and committed himself to that country's annihilation by any means necessary, preferably "armed struggle." Efforts to achieve this goal via bargaining and political gradualism were anathema to Nidal. Thus did he angrily sever his ties to the PLO in 1974, when the latter began to pursue some incremental political resolutions to its conflict with Israel.
Nidal's philosophical and strategic break from the PLO prompted him in 1974 to form, with help from Iraq, the Fatah Revolutionary Council, a.k.a. the Abu Nidal Organization. ANO's first order of business was to launch a series of attacks against PLO targets whose political views were deemed too mild. Though ANO's 1974 attempt to have Arafat assassinated was unsuccessful, the group did manage to kill a number of his confidants—e.g., the 1991 murder of Arafat's closest aide in Tunisia—and other ostensibly "moderate" Palestinians. Years later, in September 1997, Palestinian police arrested four men from the Hebron area who were allegedly involved in yet another Abu Nidal plot to kill Arafat.
During different time periods, ANO has been sponsored and supported (with safe haven, training, logistical assistance, and financial aid) by Iraq, Syria, and Libya. Indeed, from 1974 until the early 1980s the organization was headquartered in Baghdad. In 1983, however, Iraqi President Saddam Hussein expelled the group in an attempt to persuade the United States to provide military support for Iraq in its war against Iran, a conflict which had begun three years earlier.
ANO then moved its base of operations to Syria until 1987, at which time that country likewise banished the group, probably under U.S. pressure to distance itself from terrorists. This caused ANO to relocate yet again, this time to Libya.
Once the Iran-Iraq War ended in 1988, Iraq reestablished a friendly relationship with ANO. Eleven years later, Libya, seeking to rid itself of international sanctions, expelled the organization. ANO leader Abu Nidal subsequently found refuge in Iraq, where he died in 2002.
All told, ANO has mounted terrorist operations in more than twenty countries—including a wide range of Western, Israeli, and Arab targets—killing about 300 people and wounding at least 600 more. At various times, the group also served as a mercenary terrorist force for radical Arab regimes. In the mid-1980s, it was widely regarded as the world's most dangerous terrorist entity. Among ANO's most infamous attacks were:
a June 1982 attempt to assassinate Israeli ambassador Shlomo Argov in London, which helped trigger Israel's invasion of Lebanon;
simultaneous attacks by gunmen on U.S. and Israeli airport counters in Rome and Vienna on December 27, 1985, leaving 19 people dead and approximately 140 wounded;
a December 1985 attempted hijacking of a Pan Am flight in Karachi, Pakistan, in which 22 people died (the hijackers had intended to use the aircraft as a missile to attack the Israeli defense ministry);
a September 1986 shooting at the Neve Shalom synagogue in Istanbul, Turkey, that killed 22;
a 1988 attack on a Greek passenger ferry called the City of Poros, killing 9 people and injuring nearly 100;
the January 1991 assassination of Abu Iyad (the PLO's second-in-command after Arafat) and another PLO official in Tunis; and
the 1994 assassination of senior Jordanian diplomat Naeb Imran Maaytah in Beirut.
Now consisting of about 400 people based mostly in Iraq (plus a number of militia men in cells located in Lebanon's Palestinian refugee camps), ANO, which has been on the U.S. list of terrorist organizations since the 1980s, is considered to be largely inactive today. It has not staged a major attack against a Western target since the late 1980s. Nor have any major attacks been positively attributed to the group since Abu Nidal's death in 2002, though Jordanian officials reported their apprehension of an ANO member suspected of planning violence in their country in 2008.

First let me say that if you haven't read Tattooed Dots I would definitely read it prior to reading The One other wise you will have some spoilers.
This is Avery and Nicole's story! Definitely worth reading. I loved their characters in Tattooed Dots and I was so thankful to find out Kimberly Knight was writing their story! It didn't let me down either!
Avery and Nicole had instant, emotional, raw passion. From the very beginning those two fell for each other and you couldn't help falling with them. Cupid definitely struck them with his arrows. But, the nice part was that we knew they had something serious going on from reading Tattooed Dots. Reading The One was the icing on the cake.
I won't say I wasn't frustrated with some things that happened in the story. There was some heartbreaking moments and some 'Why is this happening' moments but it was a beautiful story. A story of learning when not to shut people out.... especially during hard times. A story of forgiveness and a story that show love truly does conquer all.

Virtually perfect: Campus visit event goes online
The CSU campus is empty but the Office of Admissions is still busy recruiting potential students virtually.
On Saturday, March 28, the Colorado State University campus was set to be invaded: More than 700 prospective students and their families – at least 2,000 people – were scheduled to tour the campus, meet with advisors and hear presentations from campus leadership in the annual spring "Choose CSU" event put on by the Office of Admissions.
"It was going to be the biggest one in our history," said Michelle Bradley, assistant director of admissions events. "We were looking forward to a really great event with a lot of students choosing to become Rams."
COVID-19 spoils the party
Well, you probably know how this next part goes: COVID-19 kicked into high gear, social distancing became part of our everyday vocabulary and CSU President Joyce McConnell announced on March 19 that all teaching and learning functions were moving to an online or virtual platform. Non-essential personnel were to work from home, and no one was to come to campus.
So much for having 2,000 visitors. But, as Bradley said, "The show must go on."
Disappointed but undeterred, Director of Admissions Heather Daniels and her team in the Division of Enrollment and Access went to work to recreate their planned campus visit virtually. Within 10 days – and a week before McConnell's announcement – her staff had put together a virtual experience that gave prospective students a chance to check out CSU without actually being there.
"We had people from all over the country scheduled to visit campus, and they had to cancel flights, hotels and rental cars," Daniels said. "The families, though, have been very understanding, and we let them know that we were still ready to welcome them to campus with a great virtual experience."
President McConnell takes the (virtual) stage
The March 28 schedule began with a welcome from Daniels and then a 30-minute session with McConnell, who talked to students from her kitchen. She did a 5-minute introduction, then took questions for another 25 minutes
"Joyce is a dynamic speaker and did an amazing job," Bradley said. "She was on the schedule to speak at the live event, and then she was all-in to do it online when we made the switch. She was so good – we've gotten emails from several parents who loved her presentation."
While the virtual event wasn't able to capture all of the elements included in a live campus showcase, Daniels made sure prospective students and their parents could get answers to the important questions. Admissions ambassadors did one-on-one chats, and representatives from the Office of Financial Aid, Housing & Dining Services, Parent and Family Programs and other campus offices were available for online chat.
"We were one of the first universities in the country to put this together, and I'm getting calls from friends in admissions all over the country asking me how we pulled this together so quickly," Daniels said. "I can't tell you how proud I am of our staff. They did an amazing job to pull this off."
A big success
When the final numbers were tallied, more than 700 people had participated – including several who had not signed up for the in-person event. Within a few days of the event's conclusion, CSU had received security deposits from 40 students.
"This just proves that, despite all of the uncertainty surrounding COVID-19, students are still excited to be Rams," Daniels said.
Bradley said there was an unexpected outcome: For many students, both domestically and internationally, live campus tours aren't possible, so this event provide a welcome opportunity to "see" the campus.
"Being forced to do this online has proved that we have an audience on that platform," she said. "This tells me we need to have some sort of permanent virtual event so we can serve all prospective students. Students were very appreciative of the opportunity to have contact with us at this event. It took all hands on deck to make this happen, but it was worth it."

A visit from the Prince of Wales in 1901 inspired the name of this venerable hostelry that still welcomes the occasional royal guest or film star (AKA Hollywood royalty). A true Victorian from 1864, the three-story mansard-roof behemoth takes up an entire city block. Inside, details like intricate brazil- and cherrywood inlaid flooring, Lincrusta wall coverings, and gilt-framed oil paintings exude Victorian-era decadence. Rooms have high-quality beds, Tiffany lamps, and heated towel racks in the bathrooms; some rooms have gas fireplaces. There are plenty of ways to pamper yourself here: a tea-treatment facial in the spa, a dip in the Roman-bath-style saltwater pool, high tea in the Drawing Room, or a meal at the highly acclaimed Escabèche restaurant.

U.S. Air Force Leaders Are Deliberately Slow-Rolling A-10 Refurbishment
What would the reason for this be?
In a victory for supporters of the battle-proven A-10 close air support aircraft, Congress provided the necessary seed money to extend the fleet's lifespan for at least another decade in its last spending bill. The U.S. Air Force had announced in 2017 that 110 A-10s were in danger of being retired because their wings were rapidly approaching the end of their useful service life.
The seed money is not as clear-cut a victory as many have supposed, however. The $103 million Congress appropriated for the A-10 re-winging project will only produce four new pairs of wings and it will likely take six years before new wings are installed on any operational A-10s. These funds will mainly be used to start up an entirely new production line.
The Air Force claims it needs all this money and time to get competitive bids to start up the new wing production line. All the while, the men and women serving in combat for the next six years badly need to be able to count on an A-10 force that is not shrinking rapidly due to a failure to replace worn out wings.
The unnecessary time delay and expense of the Air Force's chosen path should frustrate everyone committed to responsible and effective government spending and life-saving close air support for our troops.
Re-winging the A-10 is not a new problem. In 2007 the Air Force awarded the Boeing Corporation a $2 billion contract to build new wings for 242 A-10s. In 2014, F-35 program managers and Air Force leaders started another campaign to retire A-10s in order to free up funding for the F-35.
After strong Congressional pushback the Air Force submitted a budget in 2016 that claimed to give up their efforts to retire the A-10.
Air Force leaders, long hostile to the A-10 and the mission it performs, cut this initial re-winging effort short by allowing Boeing's contract to lapse in 2016 after only 171 wing sets had been delivered.
Now, due to the intransigence of Air Force leadership in calling for the shutdown of the earlier production line, taxpayers are paying $103 million just to create a new production line and to produce only four wing sets. That is approximately $25 million per set with all of the capital costs included. For comparison purposes, a set of wings cost approximately $3.8 million in 2013.
This fact has upset some Congressional leaders. The chair of the House subcommittee for tactical land and air forces, Rep. Mike Turner is calling for an investigation to determine how and why Air Force leaders decided to shut down the wing production line before Congress finalized its plans for the appropriate force structure.
In April 2016, the House Armed Services Committee added language to the National Defense Authorization Act protecting the program by forbidding the Air Force from using any part of its budget "to retire, prepare to retire, or place in storage or on backup aircraft inventory status any A-10 aircraft."
Air Force leaders still persist in devising plans to draw down the number of A-10 squadrons from the current nine to six, in spite of Congressional mandates to keep 283 — nine squadrons' worth — flying. The service has not ruled out the possibility of grounding more A-10s before 2025, which would make it impossible to maintain more than six squadrons.
These plans prompted protests from those who understand the A-10 is the aircraft that strikes the most fear in the hearts of the enemy. Air Force leaders have claimed in the past that budgetary restraints forced them to abandon the A-10 in favor of the F-35 which, they argue, is better suited against the kind of sophisticated air-defenses the force would face in a hypothetical war against Russia or China.
Congress has demonstrated its willingness to fund both programs, which negates the first argument. The second argument is debatable, and completely ignores the low-end conflicts in which we are currently engaged and that will remain a decidedly non-hypothetical reality for years to come.

The Air Force solicited bids for the new contract in December 2017. A closer inspection of the draft contract documents shows that Air Force leaders are happy to take the extra taxpayer money for the project, but they aren't in much of a hurry to actually receive the new wings for the A-10s. Based on the schedule, the time allotted in the contract, and the timeline of the earlier effort, it might be four years before the first new set of wings is delivered for testing and six years until the first production model is delivered. By that time, 53 or more A-10s may have been sent to the boneyard because their current wings have too many flight hours to be flown safely.
In truth, the Air Force wants to ground the entire fleet much sooner. The Air Force's A-10 System Program Office created a timetable for grounding the entire fleet by 2025. According to a timetable, which was acquired by the Project On Government Oversight, the Air Force would begin mothballing the remaining fleet in 2019 and speed up the retirements over the next seven years.
The Air Force has established a schedule for the re-winging project that can generously be called leisurely. Contracting officials sent out the bid solicitation documents on December 22, 2017. If they stick to the draft schedule, the interested contractors will be submitting their bid proposals the first week of June 2018.
The Air Force will spend nearly nine months evaluating these bids before the contract will be awarded on March 25, 2019. Readers will remember that this 15-month process is not creating a new product; it is simply re-contracting for wings that have been in production for nearly a decade and were arbitrarily cancelled less than two years ago.
More evidence of the lack of urgency to get new wings to the A-10 fleet can be found buried in the draft contract solicitation. The winning contractor will be required to deliver the first set of wings within 1,095 days of when it was announced that the contract was awarded. That means that in addition to the year it will take Air Force contracting officials to sort through their paperwork, the contractor will have an undemanding three years before they have to make their first delivery.
At the end of this potentially four-year-long process, all the Air Force will have are prototypes that will then have to go through the formal testing process. Based on the unhurried pace that Air Force leaders have set for the project up to this point, it would be a safe bet to assume they won't attempt any testing shortcuts in the same way they have with other programs.
Rep. Martha McSally, a former A-10 pilot and squadron commander and current member of the House Armed Services Committee, questioned in an April 2018 hearing another instance of the Air Force's foot-dragging, this one found in their most recent budget request.
She wanted to know why the Service only requested enough money to buy up to 12 wing sets in the 2019 budget, to be delivered three years or so later, when the depot facility at Hill Air Force Base can install up to 32 a year. Even worse, by the time those 12 wing sets are delivered, 40 or more A-10s will have been grounded and sent to the boneyard, if the Air Force leaders have their way.
It bears repeating that this slow production ramp-up is not due to the problems of producing a new and untested design. These A-10 wings were being produced less than two years ago and have been successfully installed on 171 currently flying A-10s.
Boeing began production on the original A-10 wing replacement program a little more than two years after the contract had been awarded in 2007. The new design underwent testing and acceptance trials before the first re-winged A-10s were delivered to the Air Force in February 2012, less than five years after the contract had been awarded.

Faster options are available
Air Force leaders don't have to go through all of this. If the Air Force really wanted to support the close air support mission, they have the authority to expedite this procurement. If Air Force leaders declared this an urgent operational need—which it obviously is—they could use regulations that were tailor-made for providing rapid support to troops in harm's way.
Pilots are flying A-10s over the skies of our active war zones virtually every day. One astute online commenter captured the absurdity of the Air Force leadership on this matter by pointing out that the A-10 is so critical to the current war efforts that they are literally flying the wings off them.
The Pentagon most famously used this process to acquire the mine-resistant ambush protected (MRAP) vehicles at the height of the Iraq War. In response to rising casualties from IEDs and after concerns were raised by whistleblowers inside the Pentagon, Marine Corps leaders developed the requirements for a hardened vehicle in 2005.
A mere 33 months later, the first MRAPs were in the field. In this instance, an entirely new vehicle had to progress from the drawing board through testing, production, and fielding. With the A-10 wings, the Air Force only has to reproduce something that has been flying for 40 years and that was still in production less than two years ago.
Air Force leaders are certainly not above using budgetary sleight of hand or extraordinary maneuvers to speed the acquisition process along when it suits their purposes. They have been using Operations and Maintenance funds to purchase off-the-shelf cyber capabilities in recent months. They also created a Rapid Capabilities Office for classified programs that they are now using to develop an entirely new program, the B-21 Raider.
In March 2018, the Air Force extended the charter for the Rapid Capabilities Office to include other programs to speed deliveries to the field. The glacial pace Air Force leaders have set for the A-10 wing contract shows that providing effective air support to the troops doesn't merit such treatment in their eyes.
Continuing to slow-roll this process would certainly be in keeping with the Air Force's actions regarding the A-10 fleet up to this point. When asked about the status of the project, the civilian A-10 Program Element Manager for the Air Force's Air Combat Command told a gathering of officials recently that the re-winging project "was not going to happen," although the Air Force's chief of media operations attempted to qualify that statement by affirming the Air Force's commitment to reestablishing the production line.
This current slow-motion contract means, at the very least, it is not going to happen anytime soon. This fits right into Air Force leader's grand plans to rid itself of an aircraft and a mission it never wanted in the first place.

The larger context
To put this all in perspective, the Air Force leaders have repeatedly attempted to shrink or cancel outright the A-10 fleet for at least the past twenty-five years which is particularly striking since the A-10 has consistently proven its battlefield worth in every war since 1991.
The reason for this is simple. Air Force generals don't like the airplane because it lacks the complexity and expense to justify ever-expanding budgets. Furthermore, they despise the mission: it places them in a supporting role to ground forces.
This attitude could be seen during an October 2015 F-35 hearing when then-program executive officer Air Force lieutenant general Christopher Bogdan said he opposed an F-35-versus-A-10 fly-off, preferring instead to test the F-35 by itself "in a realistic operational environment for the CAS mission that the Air Force intends the F-35 to do."
That statement almost perfectly captures the longstanding, deeply ingrained cultural indifference to close support within the Air Force's upper ranks that dates back well before World War II. In actuality, how the Air Force prefers to do close support is secondary; primary are the needs of actual ground combatants, a fact Air Force officials have been eager to suppress from early Army Air Corps days on.
At the end of the day, the efforts to keep the A-10 flying are simply part of a larger fight to maintain an effective close air support capability within the U.S. military. The A-10 will not be able to fly forever, although with proper maintenance and new wings, it will be able to fly well into the 2030s. That would be long enough to institute a new program to build a proper replacement for the A-10. This new effort should follow the best practices of the original A-X Attack Fighter Program.
How the Air Force intends to do close support is at the heart of their current drive to eliminate the A-10 fleet. In brief, they intend to replace the down-in-the-mud, CAS-dedicated A-10 with the multi-mission F-35, which would launch standoff guided weapons from 15,000 feet or higher.
Close air support is more than simply dropping bombs on a target. It requires detailed coordination between the pilot and troops on the ground. Decades of combat experience have shown that this can best be accomplished through radio communication, but in desperate circumstances it must be done through visual means. Soldiers in the middle of heavy combat can signal an A-10 pilot by flashing a mirror or using colored smoke. This only works when the pilot can fly down to a few hundred feet.
The close connection between the dreadfully slow pace of the Air Force's A-10 re-winging contract and their commitment to replacing A-10s with F-35s was inadvertently let out of the bag by Harris to questioning by McSally.
Harris responded that the service opted to keep production of wings at a lower level until the Defense Department completes a number of studies of its combat aircraft inventory, to include the much-hyped comparative tests between the A-10 and F-35 that will measure both planes' close air support bona fides. "We're not going to make a further commitment until we know where we're going with both the A-10 and the F-35," he said.
The most important aspect about the A-10 and having a fleet of dedicated attack aircraft has been the community of expertise that grew up around it. The pilots and ground controllers have developed highly refined techniques and procedures to tightly integrate air and ground operations. The skills of the pilots in particular are at stake in this effort.
Were the A-10 to be cancelled before an effective successor aircraft can be produced, the expertise of the dedicated close air support professionals will be diluted into the multi-mission muddle of the F-35. Maintenance personnel have already been stripped from the A-10 program. Pilots flying the F-35 will have competing training requirements for the various missions they will be expected to perform.
With the F-35's notoriously poor availability rates and general Air Force antipathy to the close air support mission, it is highly unlikely that pilots assigned to the F-35 will ever be able to fly enough hours to develop the close air support skills to perform the mission. The men and women fighting on the ground would be the ones suffering the consequences of that for generations.

MANILA, May 15 — Actor-turned-politician Aga Muhlach asked the Commission on Elections (Comelec) to declare failure of elections in several areas in Camarines Sur.
In a five-page petition, Ariel Muhlach, the actor's real name urged the poll body to set aside precinct results and declare a failure of elections because of corrupted compact flash (CF) cards of the precinct count optical scan (PCOS) machines.
The petitioner cited the report at a poll precinct in Tigaon, Camarines Sur, where some 668 casted votes were not counted due to corrupted CF card.
Muhlach is running in the congressional seat to represent the fourth district of the said province.
"There were also some PCOS machines which were left unguarded compromising the sanctity and authenticity of votes," the petition added.
Meanwhile, the poll body was also asked by two local candidates in Maguindanao to declare failure of elections in the said province due to incidents of election-related violence in the some areas.
The areas include Sultan Barongis, Odin Sinsuat, and Buluan.

After Guardian surveillance drones, India now eyes unmanned combat drones
(MENAFN- NewsBytes)
Right ahead of PM Narendra Modi's Washington visit, US approved India's request for 22 Guardian surveillance drones, government sources said. An official notification is still awaited.
The reported approval came through a year after New Delhi requested.
But the next item on India's long-run list of desired acquisitions are combat drones, or Unmanned Combat Aerial Vehicles (UCAVs).
The recent Guardian deal with the US
Under the Guardian deal with the US, India will get 22 of the unarmed Predator drones. They can fly for over 27 hours on surveillance and reconnaissance missions. It is estimated to be worth $2-3bn. This is the first such purchase by a non-NATO country.
US remains hesitant to provide combat drones to New Delhi
The US has rejected Indian requests for missile-firing drones. It is reportedly concerned about the potential regional destabilization if high-tech drones are brought in.
It took a year to approve New Delhi's request for the surveillance drones amid fears that once approved, India will renew its push for armed ones.
India also had to join the 34-member Missile Technology Control Regime for the deal.
So what is India doing about it?
Combat drones can fire on enemy targets while being controlled from thousands of kilometers away. US has used them extensively on Islamic militants in the Af-Pak region.
India is set to acquire 10 Heron-TP missile-armed drones worth about $400mn from Israel.
The IAF is already using Israeli Harop "killer" drones. Some surveillance aircraft have been upgraded to make them capable of combat missions.
Indigenous efforts are on, but will probably take a decade
A Rs. 2,650cr project called "Ghatak" has been launched by the DRDO-Aeronautical Development Agency. The government has approved Rs. 231cr for design and development. However, the project is expected to take more than a decade to reach completion.

Human beings are not machines and we don't keep going without breaks. Sleep is essential to our health and well-being.
Sleep study after sleep study shows shocking evidence of the physical and mental effects of even minor levels of sleep deprivation and a wide range of health conditions that result from loss of sleep.
For these reasons, it's critical that travelers get plenty of sleep before and during their trips – to avoid some very critical and dangerous mistakes that can cost them their health, their financial security, or their lives.
Psychologists and others who study sleep disorders have shown that many problems are directly tied to sleep deprivation. The following are 6 reasons to get plenty of sleep before and during your trip. A hint? It's not just about being grumpy and a little foggy – it's actually quite dangerous.
The body's ability to sleep plays a critical role in your cognitive ability – that is your ability to think and to process information.
During sleep, while the body rests, the brain is busy processing information from the day and forming memories.Sleep is essential to the cognitive functions of the brain, and without it, our ability to consolidate memories, learn daily tasks, and make decisions is impaired.
Memory problems on your trip can mean lost luggage, missed connections, and an inability to find your hotel. Unfortunately, travel insurance isn't likely to be able to help you if the loss you're experiencing is because you forgot.
It turns out that the 'old wives' tale' that if you didn't sleep well, you would get sick is essentially true.
Physicians know now that skipping our zzzs can increase our risk of getting sick and prolonged sleep deprivation has long been associated with diminished immune functions which leaves us more prone to catching colds, the flu, and everything else in between. Sleep loss also influences our body's ability to fight an illness once it sets in.
Think about that when the guy in the next seat sneezes or coughs! Getting sick when you're traveling can make things very difficult.
It's been a long time since travel was fun – everything is overcrowded, the perks are few and far between, and well, let's be honest, no one likes the TSA.
When you add the stress of travel to the increased stress on your body that results from lack of sleep, you essentially get the cortisol double-whammy. Super high levels of cortisol in your system that result from the lack of sleep drives up anxiety levels which places greater than average stress on the body.
You might be fine as long as everything goes perfectly on your trip and you can tumble into a comfortable bed when you arrive and catch up on your sleep, but there are no such guarantees.
Sleep deprivation induces significant reductions in physical performance, including reflexes and fine motor skills.
According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration fatigue is responsible for an estimated 56,000 motor vehicle accidents and over 1,500 fatalities every year. Excessive sleepiness also contributes to a greater risk of sustaining an injury.
A traffic accident in a foreign country can be rough on your financial security. It's important to note that car rental collision coverage through your credit card travel plan or your travel insurance plan does not extend to provide coverage for damage to another vehicle, structure, or person. If you cause an accident, you could very well be sued and in some countries, you could be jailed.
Turns out, a lack of sleep can affect our interpretation of events. Essentially, those who are sleep-deprived do not make sound judgments because they cannot accurately assess the situation and act wisely.
Ironically, people who are running on little sleep seem to be especially prone to poor judgement when it comes to assessing how their lack of sleep is affecting them.
OK, this isn't actually a 'dangerous' problem caused by sleep deprivation, but it sure would be nice to look our best at that business meeting or on a romantic evening on your vacation.
When you don't get enough sleep, the body releases more of the stress hormone cortisol and in excess amounts, cortisol can break down skin collagen – the protein that keeps skin smooth and elastic.
It turns out that chronic sleep loss can lead directly to the formation of fine lines and lackluster skin. Of course, it also means dark circles under the eyes, and for some, eye-puffiness. Not your best look on a trip!
It's important to note that medical experts agree: caffeine and other stimulants cannot overcome the effects of severe sleep deprivation. That means you might be awake, but if you're sleep deprived, you're operating on a limited capacity no matter how many cups of joe you have pounding through your system.
